Mind of Maniac – The Time Dungeons and Dragons Was Attacked September 26, 2023

Sit back, Maniac is going to get very controversial on this episode. Back in the early 80s, life was good so for many. Crime was down, fear of war was receding, and technology was making a lot of people’s lives easier.
You’d think this was a time for people to be happy, and they were. However, it was an awful time for people who relied on making money by spreading words of fear on television and radio. So, completely out of touch with their times, instead of shutting the organizations down as failures they decided amongst themselves to dig into one of their oldest tricks, and attack the things young people enjoyed. In the 40s, it was comic books. In the 60s it was rock and roll. In the 80s…it was Dungeons and Dragons.
Never forget: Young people can’t vote, and have no advocates to defend themselves against relentless disinformation attacks. Here’s Maniac’s take on what happened and his thoughts on what will come of it in the future.
GOG Gives Out Fahrenheit Remastered to All Owners of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy September 25, 2023
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit for our European readers) is one of my absolute favorite games of all time. It was a crazy adventure game with lots of branching path and a fantastic licensed soundtrack. A few years ago, the game was remastered on PC with updated HD visuals and controller support.
This week, the guys over at GOG.com announced they would be awarding a free copy of Fahrenheit: Remastered to any customers who purchased the original game through GOG. Moving forward, it seems the Remastered edition will be the only way to purchase the game through their site, but they stress that anyone who gets the remaster will also get the original game included with their purchase at no additional charge.
Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy is out now on multiple platforms including PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2.

Apple has released major updates for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV devices today, and they are absolutely enormous. Any iPhone released starting with the iPhone XR generation is eligible for the upgrade, but iPhone 8 and iPhone X devices and earlier cannot be updated.
The new features are far too long to list, so we are going to place a link to the change list right here. The new update, depending on your device, will weigh in at 3.1-3.4GB in size. Hopefully you have a lot of free space.
Mac owners can expect their next MacOS release later this month.
