TOTY Vote for EA FC 24 is now live: Here’s how to vote for your players for the Team Of The Year

von Thomas Dummer

Team of the Year in EA FC 24: All players from the Bundesliga nominated for the TOTY election

von Thomas Dummer

The starting eleven of the oldest candidates for the TOTY in EA FC 24

How did we set up? We follow EA Sports’ guidelines, which have arranged the TOTY voting in a 4-3-3 formation. We start with the goalkeeper and the defenders.

Our selection was based on a very simple rule. Only the oldest players among the nominees made it to our list.

Goalkeeper + Defense:

Wojciech Szczęsny (Juventus Turin) – 33 years: As a goalkeeper, the Pole is the oldest player eligible for selection, but overall he is among the youngest on our list. Especially in the goalkeeper position, we have seen even older keepers like Manuel Neuer or Gianluigi Buffon as candidates for the TOTY in recent years.

Dante (OGC Nice) – 40 years: From the youngest to the oldest on our list. The Brazilian good-naturedly probably never expected this. At 40 years old, the former Bundesliga star is nominated for the TOTY once again. Although a spot in the TOTY might be tight, Dante shows that age is just a number.

Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund) – 35 years: The 2014 World Champion recently celebrated his 35th birthday. Many critics had written off Hummels due to his speed deficiencies, but in 2023 he showed what is still possible with his wealth of experience and footballing class, even at an advanced footballer age.

Nicolás Otamendi (Benfica Lisbon) – 35 years: Another experienced player who can now also call himself a World Champion since 2022. Otamendi has always been seen as a real tough guy, and no player should enjoy playing against the Argentine defensive specialist. Even at this age, the defender doesn’t seem to want to become calmer, and certainly not worse.

Jesús Navas (Sevilla FC) – 38 years: The 3 previous defenders can afford to compensate for their loss of speed with good positioning. Jesús Navas cannot afford that as a right-back and rushes up and down the line today just like he did 20 years ago. Even though he may not reach the speed of his best years, the Spaniard still dazzles with good dribbling and strong crosses.

Midfield:

Luka Modrić (Real Madrid) – 38 years: What all of those on this list have in common is that age seems not to matter to them. However, considering the mileage of the Croatian after each game, we have to highlight him especially. Modrić covers an incredible amount of distance in every game and is found everywhere on the pitch. His unique passing precision does not diminish with continued playtime nor with advancing footballer age.

Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) – 34 years: Just in early January, the most successful German footballer of all time celebrated his 34th birthday. EA Sports rewards him with a nomination for the TOTY. He would have earned this nomination even without EA’s generosity. In a star-studded team of the Royal Club, Kroos is still the most important playmaker in midfield. Perhaps we will soon see the World Champion back in the national team.

İlkay Gündoğan (FC Barcelona) – 33 years: The chances for a TOTY nomination have perhaps never been better for the captain of the German national team. For this, Gündoğan had to turn 33 years old first. In his last season for Manchester City, he led his team as captain to the championship and even to the first Champions League success in the club’s history.

Attack:

Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr) – 38 years: Who can claim at 38 years old to be the leading scorer in 2023? That’s right, Cristiano Ronaldo. While the Portuguese is no longer seen on the grand stage of club football since his transfer to Saudi Arabia, he knows how to shine with goals in his new footballing home.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) – 36 years: His eternal rival Lionel Messi has also withdrawn from European top football and is closing his career in the American MLS. If one can even call it that, as Messi, even at 36 years old, still has a great passion for football and immediately impressed in his first matches with goals and assists.

Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad) – 36 years: Benzema played a significant role for Real Madrid until last season and was the ultimate scorer for the Royals. Now, Benzema takes it a bit easier in the Saudi Pro League like Ronaldo. However, the Frenchman still knows how to score goals.

This is the oldest TOTY in EA FC 24:

The total age of all players adds up to 397 years. The TOTY with the oldest stars in EA FC 24 has an average age of around 36 years. These players are simply like fine wine.

At the end of our list, we ask you: Would you choose one of our oldie candidates for your TOTY? Feel free to let us know in the comments. A FIFA expert recently also voted for his personal TOTY. Let’s just say he relied more on younger players. But feel free to check it out for yourself: German FIFA expert builds his TOTY, but 2 of the biggest stars are not included

„A day with my grandma is priceless“ – MontanaBlack explains on Twitch why he hasn’t been abroad for a long time

Cedric Holmeier 9. January 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Many influencers have long since emigrated. One saves on taxes, enjoys nicer weather, and has peace away from annoying fans. However, Twitch-streamer MontanaBlack still lives in Germany, and now he reveals why.

Who is it about? Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris is one of the largest German streamers on Twitch. Over 5 million followers follow him on the platform. In a Twitch clip published on TikTok, the streamer now talks about the reasons that keep him in Germany.

To better understand the background of Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, you can watch a video about his life here:

Why doesn’t the streamer want to emigrate? The streamer could lead a nice life abroad. Many other influencers have long emigrated and save taxes abroad or enjoy the sunshine on the beach without being besieged by fans.

However, streamer MontanaBlack stays in Germany because of his grandparents. He has a close family bond with his grandparents. They helped him through the toughest times in his life and were always there for the streamer.

No matter how much sun I soak up, on the coast of Spain. No matter how many millions of euros I save, in Madeira. No matter how much better and nicer I would have it abroad, brother a day with my grandma, when she is not there anymore, is priceless. I can’t buy that back with money. Do you understand what I mean? That’s why every day with the family is worth much, much more than emigrating, or sun, summer, and beach.

Pokémon GO: Why the seemingly most useless Pokémon is considered the ‘Pokémon God’

Max Handwerk 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are plenty of strong Pokémon to catch, but Bidoof is not one of them. Nevertheless, it has a place in the hearts of many trainers – especially when it shimmers.

How strong is Bidoof? Basically, not at all. In Pokémon GO, it is useless in battles against gyms and raids, as well as in the PvP league, which also applies to its evolution Bibarel.

In the main games, Bidoof is also known for its notorious uselessness in battles. However, it was often carried by many players because it could learn moves like Cut and Rock Smash, thus having a utility outside of battles while exploring the world.

In Pokémon GO, however, those abilities do not matter. Still, one frequently sees posts from players highlighting their Bidoof catch – and the shimmering variant is even revered as a “god” by some. But why?

Posts like this appear repeatedly in the community (via reddit)

What is behind Bidoof, the Pokémon god?

At the very beginning of the fourth generation of games, one encounters countless Bidoof. Almost all Pokémon trainers at that time had seen and probably also caught Bidoof. It was useless, but cute.

Over time, a kind of meme-ification of Bidoof occurred, as the almost characteristic uselessness of the Pokémon led to an ironic treatment of the creature (for example, on reddit). In short, it was massively exaggerated that Bidoof was somehow the best of all Pokémon.

What started as a small meme was fed more and more over the years. Thus, Bidoof became increasingly popular, with fan art depicting it as a god-like creature. A particularly defining example would be the series “Pokémon Rusty” on the YouTube channel “Dorkly”, which is about a massively incompetent Pokémon trainer.

The trainer “Rusty” puts the entire world at risk through his reckless carelessness, paired with the unwavering will to become a Pokémon master, also because he inadvertently breeds a “perfect”, shimmering, god-like Bidoof that also strays from the right path.

You can find the series on YouTube:

This massively overpowered Bidoof named “Peanut Butter” is now somewhat of a blueprint for the “Bidoof is the Pokémon god” meme, as in the series it becomes – at least for a while – the ruler over the entire reality.

But it can also be kinder: Pokémon itself has brought Bidoof to the forefront again and again over the years – for example, in the “Animation Bidoof’s Big Stand”:

The topic has been making waves repeatedly. Even the official Pokémon GO account participated in 2018 when the Sinnoh Pokémon were introduced to the game. They asked on Twitter which monsters trainers wanted to celebrate first from the Sinnoh region – and only offered Bidoof, Bidoof, and Bidoof as answer options (via twitter.com).

Over time, more and more examples arose where Bidoof was highlighted. In 2021, Bidoof even took over the game for days. During the Bidoof Week, more and more Bidoof appeared in the game day by day, bringing various moves with them. It even appeared in raids, attracting a lot of attention.

July 21, 2021, was then declared the “Bidoof Day” across Pokémon, and to this day it is one of the most special events in Pokémon GO history.

Why can Mauzi actually speak in the Pokémon series?

So: What is behind the fact that fans revere Bidoof as a “god”? Basically, a mix of humorous exaggeration and a meme that has increasingly become self-sustaining over the years, turning into a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy.

That Bidoof is obviously the best Pokémon ever these days – we probably don’t need to discuss further. Do you want to catch other Pokémon that although not as divine as Bidoof, are still good attackers in Pokémon GO? Then you can find here the overview of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

Even the “good” ending in the new Warhammer role-playing game is terrible, but somehow just right

Benedict Grothaus 9. January 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is a huge fan of Warhammer. He has now completed Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, the latest role-playing game in the franchise. The ending was… disillusioning. Because despite all efforts to be “good,” the world is just brutal.

Spoiler Warning: I will discuss the “Iconoclast” ending of Rogue Trader and some secret developments here. You have been warned!

Rogue Trader was released in December 2023, which I have been looking forward to for years. After about 4 weeks, I had completed the game and am… still not quite sure what to make of the ending.

Actually, I love to play evil characters in role-playing games. Even in Baldur’s Gate 3, I immediately chose the worst role at the beginning and was a scourge for the world, even if it was sometimes hard.

This time, however, I didn’t want to be an ass – an exception in the world of Warhammer. Instead, I based my entire playthrough on helping everyone and being as fair as possible.

However, the game apparently thinks such behavior does not deserve a happy ending. And it has a point… it’s just not Warhammer.

Start video

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – The release trailer for the role-playing game

Autoplay

May I introduce? Isabell von Valancius: Protector of Mankind and Friend of the Xenos

What makes the game stand out is the morality. There is no classic “good” and “evil,” but only different interpretations of the situation. Rogue Trader can be played in three different ways in this regard:

Dogmatists blindly follow all the rules of the Imperium: everything inhuman is destroyed, every violation is punished by death.
Heretics follow Chaos, believe only in their own strength, and engage with demonic powers.
Iconoclasts are the “good guys,” they help where they can and try to promote peace. True heroes.

On a whim, I decided to play as an Iconoclast and stick to that behavior until the end. Every person I could save, I saved. When in doubt, I resorted to save-scumming.

Even Xenos I took under my wing, made peace with the Aeldari, and helped a Drukhari to embark on a path of righteousness. Someone should try to top that!

A Happy Ending in Warhammer? I can definitely achieve that!

For over 100 hours, I built my own utopia. There was coexistence between Xenos and humans and even something resembling a budding friendship between the races.

I banished the brutal dogma of killing anyone who deviates even slightly from the faith in the Emperor. Chaos was also purged: anyone who worshiped the dark gods was either redeemed – or killed in the worst case. The only slightly “freer” interpretations of property – in other words, piracy – I let slide. After all, I’m not a total police state.

In the very end, I even accidentally unlocked the hidden ending: through a long quest chain, I had my own god by my side. One that I created myself to protect my realm.

But none of that helps when the whole world is against you.

There shall be only one Imperium!

After I fought the final battles, the long-awaited ending finally came. In Owlcat games like Rogue Trader, this means: a long series of book excerpts that narrate what the future looks like. I was absolutely good, so there must be peace, friendship, and flowers.

Not.

Although my subjects celebrated my deeds and eventually even worshipped me, Big E didn’t like that at all. As soon as it became known that I was redeeming heretics, providing refuge for the persecuted, and even sheltering Xenos, the entire Imperium came with a huge fleet.

Directly on the second page of my conclusion story, an army appeared that invaded me and bombed the entire galaxy into oblivion. My god provided protection, but eventually, everything was still lost.

Even this very god eventually went insane and decided to conduct his own cleansing somewhere in another part of the galaxy. Several worlds became his sacrifice.

And that’s not even the worst part. Every single person I helped met a cruel death.

And if they are not dead, they are still dying today

Rogue Trader provides several companions who support me on my journey as well as NPCs with whom I often interact. Important names and factions that I dealt with – much to their regret:

A pirate faction that I was able to divert from Chaos eventually started marauding because my reputation with them was not high enough. They were annihilated.
The lord of one of my most important worlds and a former pirate became a bit more righteous and took good care of his people. He was simply shot.
My Battle Sister was too fanatical in her faith and started to kill everyone she deemed a heretic – which was eventually everyone.
The family of my steward became the target of several intrigues, and he himself had the head of his youngest granddaughter sent to him in a box – by the Xenos I had helped.

After a few concluding pages, I actually lost the desire to continue reading. It was only towards the end that I realized that this was, of course, what had to happen. After all, this is Warhammer and not Peaceland.

Even though the ending was quite disillusioning and somewhat frustrating: on closer inspection, I got exactly what I should expect from Warhammer. And that is fabulous. You just have to know how to deal with it. That’s why I’m now playing again… as a heretic.

I really can’t be all that evil in Rogue Trader. It is, after all, Warhammer, and of course, I will be destroyed if I want to overturn 40,000-year-old doctrines in a few months. For such absurd and sometimes blunt things I love Warhammer and always wish for more, that we had a real World of Warhammer.

A player shows why warlocks are currently being insulted in WoW Classic

Cortyn 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Warlocks are having a hard time in the Season of Discoveries from WoW Classic. They are insulted. The reason is simply one thing: silly.

World of Warcraft Classic currently excites many fans with the “Season of Discoveries.” There are many innovations such as “Level-Up Raids”, new abilities for all classes, and a slowly increasing level cap. However, not everything is nice and pleasant. Some players have an extreme expectation of their warlock colleagues – and they insult them mercilessly when they don’t immediately respond to their requests.

In his Reddit post “Loot from 45 minutes of semi-absent in Undercity”, the warlock Commander_Corndog shows what kind of messages he receives – and what kind of expectations complete strangers apparently have of him.

What is it about? The whisper messages are about characters wishing to be summoned by the warlock. This is a special ability of the warlock that greatly facilitates travel – provided the warlock has enough supporters.

Especially the expectation of the whisperers seems to meet a lot of misunderstanding. Not only must the warlock have soul shards in stock, he also has to actively seek two other players to carry out the teleportation. For a measly tip of a few silver and often paired with unfriendly comments, very few seem to take it on.

After the warlock declines or simply does not respond – because he was perhaps afk – insults immediately followed.

Link to the Reddit content

What kind of comments are those? Some of the comments have been shown by Commander_Corndog with hidden names. Here are some excerpts from the dialogues:

“Can you teleport me to Undercity? Tip 50 silver.”
“I don’t have shards on me, sorry.”
“Lol useless warlock, enjoy your game, idiot.”

Another one chimed in while the warlock was afk:

UNDERCITY SUMMONING??
HELLO?
[Racist insult]

These are still the harmless examples. In other whisper messages, there are racist comments. One even searches for the name of the warlock and believes he has found his Reddit profile to leave transphobic comments – even though that was not the correct person:

In summary, this is a lot of hostility for a stranger, other player not doing what one would like.

This is what the community says: In the subreddit, many are quite shocked about the harshness and wording of some players. Especially the openly racist or transphobic comments are severely condemned. Most are sure that this is a direct reason for a “perma-ban” and hope that the punishment comes quickly.

Others are amused by the expectations of people and find them lofty:

“Lmao, don’t people know that you still need clickers?” – nojumbad
“Even if people offered me 2-3 gold, I would turn them down. Why should I spend time looking for 2 clickers, paying them for their help, and then hoping that the buyer actually pays? Just so some lazy guy saves 5 minutes of travel time.” – axcli
“I know people just say everything on the internet because they fear no consequences… but this is seriously just sad and concerning.” – Xander3Zero
“As a mage, I’ve had people wanting me to cancel my flight path, land, walk to them, and bring them water.” – IntuneHatesMe

Is it like this everywhere in Classic? No, many comments confirm this as well. Some say that it is much more relaxed on certain realms. Moreover, many assume that this is a temporary state currently affecting mainly warlocks. Because in the “Season of Discoveries”, warlocks are currently the only ones who can offer other characters a quick travel option. Mages learn their portals only later – when the level cap increases with an upcoming patch.

That there is chaos in the Season of Discoveries is shown by the case of an angry dragon that wipes out Thunder Bluff.

Cult of the Lamb receives long-awaited update – fans only wanted one thing, and the developer delivers

Linda Baumgartl 9. January 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The cute but evil game “Cult of the Lamb” was a real surprise hit on Steam in 2022. For the latest update, fans wanted just one thing, and soon they will actually get it.

What is Cult of the Lamb? The game is a mix of action roguelite and management sim. As an adorable little sheep, you narrowly escape becoming a sacrificial lamb and quickly establish your own not-so-cute cult.

What kind of update is this? On November 23, the latest update for Cult of the Lamb titled “Sins of the Flesh” (in German “Sünden des Fleisches”) was announced via Steam. This made fans think only of one thing, and the rumor about a “sex update” spread.

Subsequently, developer “Massive Monster” decided to have some fun by asking for a milestone for the eagerly awaited update. The community promptly reached this within just 2 hours.

New Trailer and Release Date

Now, the developer is turning its promise into action and announces the release date for the long-awaited free update. “Sins of the Flesh” is set to be released on January 16 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Furthermore, we get a glimpse of what awaits us in the accompanying trailer:

What exactly does the update contain? “Sins of the Flesh” offers more than just sheer fleshly desire. The update is expected to include several new features:

A new progression system brings more complexity to managing your own cult. As members of an exclusive circle, your most loyal followers engage in various sins while also receiving practical bonuses.
You can improve cult life by building better buildings or fertilizing your fields with shiny dung.
With the new firearms, you can now effectively counter enemy hordes.
Thanks to the new tailoring system, every cultist can wear their own outfit. There are 23 different styles to choose from.
If two of your followers are particularly affectionate, they might “accidentally” find an egg. With the right care, it won’t be long before loyal offspring for the cult comes forth.

Admittedly, the game may not be quite as scandalous with the egg-laying cultists. Still, the update promises some new features that should be useful for your cult on the path to world domination.

For example, in the latest Bethesda game “Starfield”, it is advisable to have sex every 20 minutes: You should have sex in Starfield every 20 minutes, otherwise you’ll miss out on a significant buff

A gamer plays Baldur’s Gate 3 with his 14-year-old son and accidentally breaks his heart

Sophia Weiss 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a fantastic game due to the multiplayer aspect, where you can spend a lot of time with friends. On reddit, a gamer shares heartwarming moments with his son in the game. Unfortunately, he accidentally broke the child’s heart during a long rest.

Who is the gamer-son duo? Reddit user Mahote writes in the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit about himself and his 14-year-old son. The son is an absolute band geek, currently playing two different instruments and participating in two different band classes. He received his own gaming laptop for Christmas 2023.

Mahote himself seems to be a very proud parent who enjoys playing video games. The gamer is active on reddit in various subreddits, including Baldur’s Gate 3, Warhammer, and D&D. Since his son got his own gaming laptop, they have been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 together.

What happened to the two in Baldur’s Gate 3? In his post, Mahote describes how he and his son played Baldur’s Gate 3 over the past weekend of January 6th and 7th. According to the story, the boy had a lot of fun.

Especially the Tiefling bard Alfira seems to have captured the son’s heart: Alfira is one of the refugees from Elturel, seeking shelter from goblins in the Emerald Grove at the beginning of Act 1. She hopes to travel to Baldur’s Gate and master the lute of her deceased mentor Lihala.

Particularly the latter excites the boy, as he is currently learning to play the guitar.

The shared gameplay between son and Mahote went well for quite some time. When Alfira joined the player group, it seemingly brought great joy to the young man. Everything was going well—until they took a long rest.

Mahote plays the Dark Urge, one of the six Origin characters who has a very dark past. However, the character cannot remember it anymore. An unavoidable plot point is that a bard—usually Alfira—joins the group and gets murdered by the player character.

This also happened in the playthrough of reddit user Mahote and his son. It seemingly broke the teenager’s heart.

How did Mahote react to the event? As a responsible parent, Mahote took care of his son. The gamer was very glad for the opportunity to support the teenager during this emotional matter. However, it was by no means easy to help the young man get over the loss of his favorite NPC.

In a follow-up addition, Mahote mentions that he is well aware of the kinds of things kids encounter today through friends, media, etc. Therefore, it is very important to him that his son experiences situations like this with a parent.

For Mahote, this was an opportunity to help his child learn to cope with such difficult situations and the resulting feelings.

What does the reddit community say? A large part of the community reacts with sympathy. Playthroughs with the Dark Urge are very popular among gamers, which is why many commentators on reddit can empathize with the son:

webevie: I had to gasp loudly when you wrote Dark Urge. I’m so sorry.
Low_Wish849: The moment you wrote that he loves Alfira, I knew what would happen.
RealNiceKnife: When he mentioned that his child likes music and was totally excited to meet Alfira (paraphrased), I knew. Or at least I suspected it.

Amid the sympathy, however, there is also concern about the game being rated for adults only. Some authors pointed out places where a teenager might feel uncomfortable with a parent present. Probably due to this, Mahote adjusted his post once again.

Additionally, user somethingaboutme notes that the Dark Urge is likely to dominate the run, which might make the son feel neglected with a normal character. Mahote replied that they will probably do precisely that.

All in all, Mahote and his son seem to be handling the situation well. Perhaps a new run without the Dark Urge is indeed a good idea for them. Baldur’s Gate 3 has much more to offer than just tragic content. For example, if you choose the dumbest class, you can unlock the funniest dialogue options.

Marie Friske 9. January 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

We have collected a list of vampire series for you. We present 5 different titles that score well on IMDb with good user ratings.

What are these series? The selection of titles was made by the editorial team. We also ensured that the series has a good rating on IMDb.

Are you also fans of the fantasy genre? Then check out this list: These are the 7 best fantasy movies of all time via IMDb

[toc]

This article originally appeared in December 2023 and was updated in January 2024 with the current IMDb ratings.

1. True Blood

Start video

English trailer for season 1 of True Blood

The series is set in the small town of Bon Temps. Vampires are no longer dependent on humans as a food source thanks to the invention of synthetic blood and want to establish themselves as part of society.

However, prejudices and fear among the population complicate the ambitions of the vampires. The story centers around waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who has telepathic powers and gradually learns more about the world of vampires.

This is what IMDb ratings say: On IMDb, the series scores 7.9 stars based on 257,743 ratings.

True Blood particularly impresses with its gripping story and interesting characters, and its bolder approach compared to other representatives of the genre.

This HBO series, just like Game of Thrones, does not shy away from explicit sex and violence scenes.

Fun Fact: Ian Somerhalder, who plays Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries, auditioned for the role of Jason Stackhouse (via IMDb).

2. What We Do in the Shadows

Start video

What We Do in the Shadows – S01 Teaser Half Drunk (English)

The comedy and fantasy series is a remake of the film 5 Zimmer Küche Sarg. Four vampires have been living together in a flatshare for centuries and are repeatedly confronted with various everyday problems.

This is what IMDb ratings say: With a total of 98,267 user votes on IMDb, the series receives an average of 8.6 stars.

The strength of the series clearly lies in the humorous interpretation of the vampire theme, which takes up many typical genre elements with a wink and is designed as a mockumentary, especially appealing to fans of The Office.

Fun Fact: All major vampires in the series, except for Colin Robinson, wore custom-made vampire fangs that could be attached to their teeth.

This was to avoid the fake teeth affecting the speech patterns of the actors or their pronunciation (via IMDb).

A candidate was afraid of being arrested by ex-military personnel during 7 vs. Wild, already prepared for his escape

Cedric Holmeier 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

It’s clear that 7 vs. Wild is exhausting. However, it is unusual if candidates want to stay even longer. One candidate went so far as to prepare his escape if production wanted to force him to give up.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for episodes 1–12 of 7 vs. Wild season 3

Who is it about? Joey Kelly is one of Germany’s most experienced outdoor experts. In 7 vs. Wild, the 51-year-old teamed up with Jan Schlappen, who joined as a candidate.

The two spent 7 days together before Jan Schlappen was picked up. You can find the reasons for his exit here.

Where did Joey Kelly talk about his planned escape? In the React to episode 12 (via YouTube), Joey Kelly, wildcard participant Ann-Katrin “AffeaufBike” Benedixen, and Jens “Knossi” Knossalla met to watch the episode together. When Jan Schlappen was about to be picked up, Joey Kelly revealed a story that no one knew until then.

One of the participants in season 3 is the Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video.

Joey Kelly thought the production would send ex-military to arrest him

Why did Joey Kelly want to escape? The outdoor expert wanted to remain alone in the wild at all costs. According to Joey Kelly, the production would send ex-military as rangers. He assumed that production would instruct them to arrest him because he wanted to stay alone on the island.

This is actually not allowed, as the departure of a candidate automatically leads to the departure of the entire team. In case production would not tolerate this, he wanted to escape.

When Jan Schlappen sent the “Code Yellow” signal, production contacted the two by phone. In this call, Joey Kelly reportedly made it clear that he absolutely wanted to stay.

Joey Kelly reportedly told production that he would stay there, no discussion, and then hung up. According to statements in the React, Kelly did not respond to repeated contact attempts by production. You can find the summary of the entire episode 12 here.

How did he plan to attempt the escape? Earlier in the episode, Joey Kelly asked his teammate Jan Schlappen to think for another half hour about the exit. According to his own statements, Joey Kelly used these 30 minutes to hide all the items he would need for survival there.

In the event of an escape from production, he was afraid that they would take the items away to force him to give up.

I thought, […] that they would send these guys to arrest me and take me away. I really thought that. That could happen, that could be worst case.
Joey Kelly in the React

During the pickup, he kept a noticeable distance from the helicopter. In the React, he also revealed that he observed how many rangers got out.

Knossi: ‘Your synapses aren’t working quite right’

What were the reactions of the other two to Joey Kelly? The two could hardly believe his words. A mix of laughter and disbelief spread. Knossi said to Joey Kelly: ‘Your synapses aren’t working quite right.’

But Joey Kelly assured the two that he meant it seriously. He assumed that production would also force him to give up.

While the other two thought it was impossible for the rangers to put handcuffs on Joey Kelly, the outdoor expert considered it realistic. He justified his fear by stating that production is responsible for safety, and if something happened to him, they could be held liable.

They could easily do that, they could come and even if they don’t technically arrest me, they could take all the equipment, then I would be in trouble.
Joey Kelly in the React

Knossi contradicted Joey Kelly on all points and said: ‘This is 7 vs. Wild, it’s a nice show with positive feelings, we’re not at war.’

That unusual things happen in 7 vs. Wild is now no longer a rarity, especially in season 3, there were many occurrences regarding the show. Particularly production has been criticized more than ever in this season. For example, the community has discovered that one team was reportedly dropped near a hotel.

Diablo 4 gets better graphics, but players argue whether it is really important right now

Benedict Grothaus 9. January 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Nvidia announced official raytracing support for Diablo 4 at the Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) 2024. The feature is set to be activated on PC starting in March. It’s actually good news, but it is not received well everywhere. Some players say that improving gameplay is more important than prettier shadows.

What is improving in Diablo 4:

Raytracing is a technology that enhances lighting and shadows. Simply put: light becomes more realistic, and the overall image appears smoother, though often at the cost of frame rate.
When raytracing was introduced, it was considered a revolutionary feature. The first MMORPG with raytracing boasted its stunning graphics.
Diablo 4 is set to receive this feature in March. However, you will need a raytracing-capable graphics card for it on PC.

This is what players say: The announcement is received with mixed feelings on Reddit and other platforms. A major point of criticism is that raytracing was originally supposed to be available in Diablo 4 at release in June 2023.

Already in beta, Diablo 4 had raytracing, but it was removed before launch – presumably because the feature was not yet mature enough. Now it is being delivered, 8 months later. Players are complaining that this is Blizzard’s definition of “soon” after release.

However, criticism about the waiting time is rather limited, as players are satisfied that a purely (and rather minor) quality improvement is indeed coming. However, there is also criticism regarding the upcoming feature.

Nvidia shows a direct comparison between Diablo 4 with and without raytracing in the video:

Start video

Diablo 4 with better graphics: This is what the ARPG looks like with ray tracing

Autoplay

“Cool, but the last thing we need”

Although Diablo 4 has received a lot of praise with Season 2 and players feel that the game is really good now, they still see potential for improvement. They believe that Blizzard should focus on gameplay first before considering raytracing.

In a discussion on Reddit, it is mentioned: “It doesn’t seem like the thing Blizzard should be working on right now. This is something that should have been lower on the priority list… At least the game looks a bit better now when you grind Duriel 1,200 times.”

The corresponding, cynical comment has over 560 upvotes and is thus more popular than most threads in the subreddit. However, there is also significant backlash from other users.

More on the topic

von Niko Hernes

Diablo 4: Sundered Night – Locations for Drops

von Christos Tsogos

Comments include that the department currently working on raytracing is surely not focused on gameplay elements. After all, Blizzard doesn’t work on exactly one improvement at a time.

In game development, it is often the case that teams working on things like graphic improvements and gameplay don’t hinder each other. So it’s likely that both are being developed simultaneously.

Better graphics may not be what the game needs right now, but it is certainly something many players will enjoy. However, discussions surrounding Diablo 4 are quite difficult at the moment. The topic is so emotionally charged that there is hardly any objective criticism, only absolute pros and cons. It goes so far that players who simply like Diablo 4 are directly attacked.

LoL: The new season starts tomorrow – What’s in it?

Niko Hernes 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The new season in League of Legends is just around the corner. Season 14 of the MOBA brings many changes not only in gameplay and items, but also in the ranked system. We summarize what is new for you here.

Season 14 in LoL brings a new patch with buffs and nerfs, and of course new items and the removal of some items. You will find detailed information about the buffs, nerfs, and item changes in the patch notes, which will be released tomorrow at the latest.

The Mythic item system is being discarded and League returns to the old system, which has fewer restrictions on building. However, some items will be removed.

The following items will be removed: Crown of the Shattered Queen, Everfrost, Leeching Leer, Demonic Embrace, Night Harvester, Luden’s Tempest, Stopwatch, Duskblade of Draktharr, Prowler’s Claw, Turbo Chemtank, Radiant Virtue, Evenshroud, Gargoyle’s Stoneplate, Aegis of the Legion, Lifewell Pendant, Chemtank Putrifier, Chalice of Harmony, Goredrinker, Divine Sunderer, Silvermere Dawn, Ironspike Whip, Rageknife, Galeforce

New items will be introduced, especially there are some new additions for mage and AP items.

Gameplay Changes

Map Changes in Season 14

The walls towards the jungle on the top and bot lanes will become thicker, making ganking harder.
The elongated bush on both lanes will be removed and replaced by a small one in the middle towards the river.
The two elongated bushes on the mid lane will be placed further away from the mid lane to make it harder to gank the mid lane.
In the jungle itself, new, smaller bushes will be placed and removed to refresh the dynamics of objective fights.
The structure of the Baron pit will change depending on the game and can randomly take 3 different forms, which also alters the attacks of the Baron.
Everything is supposed to be much more symmetrical depending on the side than before.

For more detailed information and placements of the bushes, check out the official LoL blog post.

Changes to Nashor and Herald

From minute 5 and before minute 14, you can now fight smaller Voidlings in the Baron pit.
If you defeat some Voidlings, your team receives a specific buff that helps you destroy towers; the number of defeated Voidlings enhances this buff.
At minute 14, the well-known Herald will spawn. Once you defeat him, you can click on him and ride him, similar to Sion’s ultimate.
A controlled dash into a tower deals more damage than if you do not ride him.
Once he has dashed with you, he will run down the lane alone as usual.
At minute 20, one of the 3 new Baron forms will spawn.
The Blue and Red Buff spawn as a new Void form; they are harder to fight, but defeating them grants buffs to the whole team.
The Scuttler will also become a Voidling and will reveal hidden wards and champions in a large area when killed.

Quality-of-Life Changes

Some champions will receive minor changes to feel smoother and less clunky; these include Kog’Maw, Qiyana, Neeko, Shaco, Mordekaiser, and Jarvan IV.

Changes to the Ranked System

The ranked system is also drastically changing in the new season of LoL.

From Season 14, there will be 3 splits.
1st split from January to May.
2nd split from May to September.
3rd split from September to January.

The MMR system is also expected to change, but the exact timing is still unknown. Instead of only counting wins and losses, a system is being worked on to take other game factors into account, such as deaths, kills, or overall behavior in the match itself.

In addition to all these changes, new game modes are expected, which Riot has already discussed, but these will naturally come over the course of the season. As usual, we can also expect new champions. A champion has already been presented, but the dragon Smolder does not appeal to every LoL player. A well-known pro also criticizes the many Disney designs.

WoW tries something completely new: You can now choose your tier set bonuses

Cortyn 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

For the next season in World of Warcraft, the developers have come up with something special. You need to act quickly if you want great tier sets.

In World of Warcraft, there are numerous equipment items. While most chase after their “Best in Slot” items, there is always a set for each class that is particularly worthwhile – the currently relevant tier set. This comes with special bonuses that grant your character a few extra percentage points of performance.

Actually, there is a new tier set in every season, but for the last season of Dragonflight, Blizzard has come up with something special: You can choose which bonus you would like.

What is the idea for Season 4? In Season 4, all content from Dragonflight will again be relevant. This means that all raids of the expansion and the dungeons will return. The basic concept is already known from Shadowlands. Back then, it was a workaround to bridge the waiting time until the next expansion.

The concept was so well received that Blizzard wants to use and expand it for the foreseeable future for all expansions.

Therefore, you should be able to determine details about the last season of Dragonflight in advance. That means: You can choose which tier set you particularly liked and what tier set bonuses you want to kick off with in Season 4.

How does it work? In a survey in the WoW forum, you can vote for each class and specialization which tier set bonus you would like.

You can choose from all tier set bonuses from Dragonflight, meaning the sets from the Vault of Incarnations, Aberrus, or Amirdrassil.

For each specialization, you can vote for your own set bonus.

An example: The vote could ensure that demon hunters receive a set in Season 4 that visually corresponds to the set from Season 2 (Aberrus). If a Vengeance demon hunter wears the set, they can have the bonus from Season 1 (Vault of Incarnations). If they switch to the Devastation specialization, they will get the set bonus from Season 3 (Amirdrassil).

These combination possibilities apply to all classes and specializations. So make sure to vote so that you can play your class exactly as you would like in the coming months.

~~But be careful, if you vote for the current set of the shadow priest.~~

Will the bonuses remain exactly as known? No, there will be some changes to the values. Since the power of the characters has increased between Season 1 and Season 3, the values of the tier set bonuses will also be slightly adjusted. Basically, all bonuses should be at the same level. So if you vote for the bonus from Season 1, it will be adjusted in Season 4 to be roughly equivalent to the bonuses of more modern sets.

This is to ensure that you can choose freely and simply decide which bonuses you enjoyed the most.

When does Season 4 start? There is no release date for Season 4 yet. However, it is expected that the final season of Dragonflight will be a little shorter and will likely start around April or May. As soon as there is concrete information about the start, you will, of course, hear it on MeinMMO.

What do you think of this idea? A cool opportunity to better tailor Season 4 to player desires? Or is it somewhat uncreative and boring?

One of the most exciting TVs of CES 2024 does not come from Samsung or LG, but from China

Benedikt Schlotmann 9. January 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The manufacturer TCL has introduced a huge television with 115 inches at CES 2024 with the 115QM89. With this, they aim to be competitive against the other major manufacturers.

Many users likely know TCL more as a good budget alternative to well-known brands. TCL mainly appears in many buying guides around televisions in the affordable range.

However, with the 115QM89, TCL is taking a different approach and presenting a gigantic, premium television with Mini-LED and Quantum-Dot technology at the CES 2024. According to TCL, it is supposed to be the largest television with Mini-LED so far.

New television from TCL offers 115 inches, is said to be the largest TV with Mini-LED currently

What kind of television is this? The television is a branch of TCL’s broader QM8 line, which includes premium televisions ranging from 65 to 98 inches.

The new device with 115 inches takes on some functions from the earlier QM8 televisions from TCL but additionally offers a 6.2.2-channel speaker system, enabling a surround sound-like home theater experience.

The gigantic television utilizes the TCL AIPQ ULTRA processor, allowing for higher picture quality and sharper images than any previous TCL televisions. Thanks to this processor, they aim to compete with Samsung, LG, and Sony and provide a suitable premium product. According to various reports, it has long been the intention of TCL’s CEO, Li Dongsheng, to transform his company into a “Chinese Sony or Samsung.” TCL has been one of the fastest-growing corporations in the world for years, currently employing over 50,000 people.

It is also noteworthy that the 115QM89 features over 20,000 dimming zones. This is particularly important for very large screens to accurately represent light and shadow. The fewer the number of dimming zones, the less precise the representation of the TV becomes. With many zones, movies or series appear significantly more vibrant and lively than on a “normal” display.

After 5 years, Final Fantasy 14 finally brings the race that players have been hoping for: “They are perfect”

Sophia Weiss 9. January 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The development team of Final Fantasy 14 strives to accommodate players in many ways. However, the community had to wait a full 5 years for the new and long-awaited race to finally arrive: With the new expansion Dawntrail, you can finally dive into adventure as female Hrothgar.

On January 7 and 8, 2024, Square Enix held the third fan festival of the 2023/2024 series in Tokyo. There, the last announcements for the upcoming expansion Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail were made, which is set to be released in summer 2024.

Among the fresh announcements is the new magical DPS class, the Pictomancer. This class turns you into a magical painter. Additionally, the dev team led by Naoki Yoshida thrilled players with the announcement of the new playable race: The female Hrothgar are finally here.

After 5 years of waiting, female Hrothgar finally arrive in Final Fantasy 14

What are Hrothgar? Hrothgar are one of the races that can be selected for the player character in Final Fantasy 14. You can check out all races in our article where we discuss whether it is still worth starting anew in the MMORPG in 2024.

This race consists of upright-walking big cats. What is particularly special is that they are the only selectable group for the player character that is not just a human with taste. The other races in the game are rather conventional: In addition to normal humans, there are elves, very muscular humans, humans with horns, humans with cat ears, and humans with rabbit ears.

The Hrothgar, however, are hairy all over and have feline-like heads.

Why did players have to wait 5 years? The Hrothgar were originally implemented in Final Fantasy 14 in 2019 – at least the male version. The race was released in the Shadowbringers expansion along with the then exclusively female Viera. This caused quite a stir regarding the gender lock of the races.

Traditionally, all races in Final Fantasy 14 have both a female and a male version. Additionally, players at the time increasingly wished for monster-like races, similar to those found in World of Warcraft. Presumably, this is why the male Hrothgar were released together with the female Viera.

Due to numerous requests from the community, the female Hrothgar were finally announced for the Endwalker expansion. However, at release, the male Viera were to be ready first. The release of the Hrothgar ladies was pushed to the patch cycle.

Eventually, it became very quiet about the female Hrothgar. Only at the recent fan festival in Tokyo were they confirmed with video and artworks for Dawntrail.

By the way, the complete trailer for Dawntrail was finally shown in Tokyo:

Dezere via reddit: „Thank God not another Miqo’te. She looks fabulous.”
Ok_Strawberry_3938 via reddit: „They went straight for FFX-Femme-Ronso, and I think that’s great.”
@norseorisha69 via X.com: „Oh, how cute they are. I usually don’t play one of the big, bulky races, but they have something.”
@FurlockODonnel via X.com: „I’m so happy, I’m so happy, I’m so happy. They are so much better than I expected!”

However, there are also some criticisms: Especially in the Dawntrail trailer, the Hrothgar shown looks a bit odd as her head seems very small. In the in-game trailer for the race, however, the proportions appear more balanced, which is why most players do not seem to be bothered by it.

Are you also looking forward to the female Hrothgar? Or will you not use your next Fantasia for the big cat ladies? We are curious about your comments.
