iOS 11.1.1 Released, I Issues Fixed November 11, 2017
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Many iPhone users reported a major issue after installing the last version of iOS 11. Certain phones were unable to replicate the I key when input into the phone’s keyboard, and would replace the I character with an A joined with a weird symbol and question mark (?). Apple has recently released a new software update, version 11.1.1, which is expected to fix that issue.
If you have an iPhone running iOS 11.1 you should install the update as soon as possible. You can install it through iTunes or your phone’s software update menu in the Settings App. If you’re already using iOS 11.1, the update should only require a download of about 45MB.
We can’t completely confirm the I issue is fixed since none of the iPhones we use here were giving us the problem, but several testers in the media have confirmed the issue was fixed and it is included in Apple’s iOS 11.1.1 patch notes.
FAIL: How Disney Got Back Oswald November 8, 2017
Posted by Maniac in FAIL, Site Videos.add a comment
Welcome back to the highly-anticipated return of FAIL, where we look at Hollywood’s epic business management failures. Today, we’re going to be talking about a FAIL that ended up working out very well for one major company and for an all-new generation.
Before Mickey Mouse was a twinkle in Walt Disney’s eye, Walt created Oswald The Lucky Rabbit for Universal Studios. After Walt decided to leave Universal to start his own company, he was told he could not take Oswald with him, and Walt went on to create Mickey Mouse. Since they both were created by Walt Disney, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was considered by many Disney historians to be Mickey Mouse’s brother. Sadly, Universal had kept the legal rights to Oswald in one of their vaults for decades, despite the fact they had done nothing with him for nearly a century.
Who would have thought that a contract renewal for famous sportscaster Al Michaels would trigger a series of events to bring Oswald The Lucky Rabbit back to his true owners?

Xbox One X owners will be very happy to find out two games that will be capable of native 4K gameplay today. Quantum Break and Halo 5: Guardians are getting free enhancement patches to improve their gameplay and make them native 4K compatible when played on a 4KTV with the Xbox One X console.
The two new enhanced games will join other Xbox One titles like Titanfall 2 and Diablo III which already have Xbox One X enhancements. Players will be able to download those patches for free on a case by case basis as they are released. However, you might want to have a Coke while you’re waiting for the games to patch, early estimates are saying the required download size for each patch is high, although we haven’t been able to independently verify that yet.

We got an up close and personal look at Spider-Man on the PS4 at E3 2017. I thought the game had fantastic fluid gameplay, but very little was revealed about the game’s actual story. Earlier today, during Paris Games Week 2017, Insominiac Games and Sony Released this teaser trailer for Spider-Man on the PS4 and now we finally have a closer look at the game’s story, take a look!
This looks like it has the potential to be one of the best Spider-Man stories in years. Seriously Insomniac, if you had told me this was a trailer for the next Spider-Man film I may have believed you.
Spider-Man is coming wxclively to the PS4 in 2018.
