7 vs. Wild Season 3: Because Knossi overslept, his whole team almost got eliminated 

Jens “Knossi” Knossalla (37) told a story in a React to the first episode of 7 vs. Wild Season 3 that has not been seen in the “Behind the Scenes” format so far. He and his teammate forgot to send a life signal on one of the first evenings, which is why the rescue team was dispatched.

How did it come to this? Knossi told in his React to the first episode of 7 vs. Wild Season 3 that he and his teammate Sascha Huber (31) forgot to send the “Code Green” signal on one of the first days in the wilderness. The signal must be sent in the morning and evening to confirm that both participants are doing well. The two simply fell asleep in the evening without sending the signal.

The signal is sent via a small transmitter that works like an old satellite phone. Messages can also be delayed if there is no reception. For the organizing team behind 7 vs. Wild Season 3, this always means some uncertainty when a signal is missing. Especially in the high fire risk, the organizing team remains very vigilant.

Why is there this transmitter? The transmitter is for safety and replaces the mobile phones that were still used in Season 1. Since Season 2, the devices exist primarily because they also work when there are no cell towers nearby. This was the case in Panama in Season 2 and is now also the case in Season 3 in Canada, as the making-of of the series reveals. The transmitter is the only way to communicate with the team.

The rescue team of 7 vs. Wild set out to rescue Knossi and Sascha, but the two were only sleeping

What happened when the organizing team did not receive a “Code Green” signal? When the rescue team did not receive a “Code Green” signal for too long at the base camp, they presumably set out for the missing team. Knossi told us in his stream about the “rescue” from his perspective:

“I thought I was dreaming all of a sudden, KNOSSI-SASCHA-KNOSSI-SASCHA-KNOSSI-SASCHA!” When Knossi was woken up, a light inferno is said to have played out before his eyes. “You didn’t press! You didn’t press!” a rescuer is said to have shouted at Knossi.

How did the situation end? Knossi is said to have tried to calm the rescuers by confirming to them that both were doing well. “We are alive, we are alive, I tell them, we are alive, we are alive, yes, we are alive, we are alive […]” Knossi is said to have shouted to the rescuers. His partner Sascha Huber is also said to have been overwhelmed by the situation. Influencer Knossi does not reveal an exact ending to this event, but ultimately it did not lead to an elimination.

In this case, the security concept seems to have worked well, and in case of emergency, the team would likely have been rescued. In another case, however, Knossi was disappointed by the production company.

A gamer shows how much more performance there could be if AMD and Nvidia collaborated

What happens when you combine the technologies of AMD and Nvidia? The result is impressive, as a gamer just shows.

Both AMD and Nvidia offer their own ecosystems when it comes to graphics cards. Certain features, such as Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technology, can only be used on the graphics cards of the respective manufacturer.

A user has now combined the two technologies and created a massive performance boost. However, the whole action was not entirely straightforward, as the colleagues from WCCFtech explain.

Theoretically, you could recreate the experiment, but you will also need two different graphics cards: one from AMD and one from Nvidia. Additionally, you will need a corresponding motherboard where the PCIe slots are positioned favorably so that the two graphics cards can be combined.

Combination of two similar techniques offers enormous performance boost

What exactly did the user use? The user on the Chinese website Quasarzone combined software from AMD and Nvidia:

  • Nvidia’s DLSS3 was the first implementation of frame interpolation on gaming PCs. This technology essentially doubles the frames by inserting an AI-generated image that often looks better than the native image. DLSS 3 is integrated into the game using the source code that is accessible through the DLSS SDK from NVIDIA.
  • AMD’s “Fluid Motion Frames technology” is enabled on the driver side and not through the game code like DLSS. The image quality of AMD’s software is not very detailed, but it supports more games.

Both technologies serve a similar purpose and are both intended to significantly increase FPS. However, they work completely differently. For both to be used simultaneously, a system is required that supports both AMD and Nvidia software. To achieve this, the user came up with a trick:

The system outputs the image on the display via the AMD graphics card, but the calculations should be taken over by the Nvidia graphics card’s GPU.

What does the experiment bring? Depending on the game, the combination of AMD and Nvidia provides you with a significant performance boost: In Cyberpunk 2077 with 4K resolution, using both technologies resulted in a gain of almost three times the native resolution:

Even in comparison, if the software had been used without the combination. 100% represents the base performance of the game:

  • The game with DLSS enabled offers 47% more FPS (147% vs 100%)
  • Cyberpunk 2077 with “Fluid Motion Frames technology” activated delivers 99% more FPS (199% vs 100%)
  • Combining both technologies in Cyberpunk 2077 even achieves 191.9% more FPS (291.9% vs 100%).

However, not all games benefit from the boost: Both Starfield and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart also showed a performance boost, but the image quality suffers quite a bit.

It was one of the best-selling graphics cards from Nvidia, and yet it is AMD that significantly extends its lifespan in gaming

YouTuber builds a ‘real’ PS5 Slim, is only as big as a shoebox

Sony’s new PS5 Slim is now available, a YouTuber has now presented a PS5 that is only half the size.

The YouTube channel “Not From Concentrate (NFC)” has designed a particularly small PS5. This one is only half the size of the normal PS5, but the conversion was not exactly cheap.

The YouTuber has been focusing on shrinking PC systems for years, using various devices and 3D printers to realize some really impressive projects.

The presented PS5 resembles in size and design a bit of the old external hard drive cases that one used to have on their desk.

The official video from “Not From Concentrate (NFC)”

Is the new PS5 barely hotter than the official model?

What hardware has he installed? He replaced the original power supply with a 250-W HDPlex GaN power supply. This is a particularly small power supply. For cooling, an Alpenföhn Black Ridge and a Noctua Chromax with 120 mm are used.

The PS5’s drive does not fit in the case anymore. For this reason, the YouTuber has converted the drive into a kind of external drive. At the same time, the drive must be connected to the official PS5 board, which makes the conversion a bit more complicated.

For the fan and the control buttons, the YouTuber had to use some additional components and created some parts with his 3D printer.

Are there also disadvantages? Yes, the effort behind the conversion of the PS5 is enormous. The YouTuber invested many hours of work into the conversion, and especially the complicated electronics behind the drive and certain buttons required a lot of precision.

Another disadvantage is that the new PS5 gets a few degrees warmer than the official model. However, according to “Not From Concentrate (NFC)” this should not be a problem.

Can I recreate this? Most parts, such as the power supply or the fans, can be purchased easily in stores. The YouTuber also uses the official hardware of the PS5. However, for many details, such as the additional electronics, the buttons, or the case, the YouTuber uses self-designed components. This makes the recreation difficult.

PS5 conversion: A company now offers an official conversion kit for the PS5. This costs a hefty 800 euros, and you cannot use the kit for a PS5 with a drive. However, your PS5 will not necessarily become smaller, but significantly larger. All details can be found in the following article on MeinMMO:

A company claims to have found “the solution to the main problem of the PS5”: demands around 800 euros for it

7 vs. Wild Season 3: No one expected it, but 2 teams are super successful where others fail

In episode 10 of 7 vs. Wild season 3, two teams are particularly successful in foraging for food. Other teams are meanwhile plagued by hunger and circulatory problems.

Warning, this article contains spoilers for episodes 1–10 of 7 vs. Wild season 3

Who is it about? In episode 10 of 7 vs. Wild season 3, two teams have a good hand at catching fish and sea creatures. The team of Ann-Kathrin “Affe auf Bike” Bendixen (23) and Hannah Assil (32) catches a large crab that they prepare on site.

The community favorites Jens “Knossi” Knossala (37) and Sascha Huber (31) also have some fishing successes in episode 10, as the two influencers catch several fish with nets and traps. This is a big success for both teams as the food provides them with much-needed energy.

How is the food situation with the other teams? The situation is tense for the other teams. Jan Schlappen, who forms a team with substitute candidate Joey Kelly (50), is acutely suffering from hunger. In the episode, he feels weak and falls asleep unwillingly. He reports in the episode about a gloomy state because he has had so little success in foraging for food so far.

The team of Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler and Emilian “Rumathra” Welte also has no luck in the current episode when it comes to finding food. The fish trap set up by the team has been washed away by the tide.

Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller and Dominik “Reeze” Reezmann seem to have given up on foraging for food altogether, after they had such disappointing prospects last time.

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

A team had to be rescued from the wilderness due to a circulatory collapse

What happened? In episode 9, Gerrit Rösel (32) from the Naturensöhne suffered from ongoing circulatory issues. The contestant had already stated in the acceptance for the survival project that he has heart problems.

In episode 10, he reveals that his doctor had already warned him before the series that such complaints could occur. In the last episode, he already had blackouts.

After the participants wake up in the morning, Gerrit tells his teammate Andreas “Andy” Schulze (33) that he is not feeling any better. The two decide to take the path to the freshwater spring and hope for improvement. On the way to the spring, Gerrit collapses and falls to the ground.

After a short time, he regains consciousness, but the team decides after long consideration to send the “Code-Yellow” signal.

How does the rescue go? With a camera cut to the camp of the organizing team, we see one of the rescuers at the base camp. Initially, it is assumed that it might be a false alarm because the Naturensöhne usually send a “Code-Green” at this time, which is a signal that everything is fine. However, when the second “Code-Yellow” signal reaches the base camp, it becomes clear that the team truly needs to be extracted.

The rescue teams rush to the Naturensöhne by speedboat. Gerrit is meanwhile suffering from circulatory disturbances to such an extent that he can barely make it to the landed speedboat. Two rescuers have to carry him the last few meters onto the boat.

Even though there is no acute emergency, a person with medical training is also on board, who takes care of Gerrit immediately. We learn nothing about the exact medical circumstances, but Gerrit has been appearing in many videos of the Naturensöhne since Canada, so he seems to be doing well.

There is always criticism of 7 vs. Wild season 3, recently Fritz Meinecke criticized the new production company.

Pokémon GO introduces a new character who has gifts for you

A new face will soon appear in Pokémon GO: Mateo will arrive in a few days and bring gifts. You just have to find him.

Who is that? Mateo is a new NPC you will soon encounter in Pokémon GO. The researcher can appear at the end of routes starting December 4, 2023, when you complete them.

What does Mateo do?If you meet Mateo at the end of a route, you can perform a “gift exchange” with him.

That means:

  • You give Mateo one of your gifts that you found at the start or end of the route or at a nearby PokéStop
  • Then you select “Exchange”: Now you receive a gift from another trainer from Mateo

You also need to do this in the new special research “Route to New Friendships”.

Mateo is one of the new features of the current season “Timeless Travel”. You can find the trailer here:

Why should I talk to Mateo in Pokémon GO? Basically, this is another bonus you should simply take at the end of routes. Above all, however, he gives you the chance to receive postcards from trainers you don’t have on your friends list.

At best, these are postcards from regions you haven’t noted in your postcard book yet – and that, in turn, brings you closer to the different forms of Vivillon.

You can learn how Vivillon and its forms work here.

Event “Along the Routes” welcomes Mateo in Pokémon GO

What kind of event is this? The event starts on December 5, 2023, at 10:00 AM and ends on Friday, December 8, at 8:00 PM.

It begins a day after Mateo’s debut and focuses on the new NPC. The event will bring a special research that introduces the character closer and also tells more about the gift exchange. It will be exciting to see what bonuses Mateo will bring.

Furthermore, Niantic points out in the announcement that you can now also connect the party play feature with routes to complete them together.

What else does the event bring? “Along the Routes” will rotate around the spawn pool in the wild and also bring other Pokémon in the 7 km eggs. Among other things, the shiny variant of Hisui-Sniebel will be available for the first time, which can appear in the eggs but also in field research if you are lucky.

Additionally, there will be a limited research, suitable showcases, and some bonuses. These are:

  • Double hatch speed for eggs
  • Fivefold XP for first-time spinning a new PokéStop
  • Triple XP for spinning PokéStops
  • Double stardust when opening gifts

Basically, there are several dates this month that you should note. We show you all events in Pokémon GO in December 2023.

4 improvements in Baldur’s Gate 3 that make the Game of the Year 2023 even better

Baldur’s Gate 3 has introduced four changes with the extensive Patch 5 that make the game even cooler. MeinMMO reveals the details to you.

Baldur’s Gate 3, the award-winning Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards, has once again released an extensive, impressive patch. The patch notes for Patch 5 are packed with improvements and changes. But we want to particularly focus on four aspects that are celebrated by the community.

Select a MMO video…

Community celebrates the new highlights, especially one change to the inventory

These improvements are about:

Expanded Ending: Starting with Patch 5, there is a completely new ending scene based on the decisions made in the game. The ending of the game left some players dissatisfied. To avoid revealing too much, we will keep this as spoiler-free as possible. In any case, there are brand new scenes. Even if you have already finished the game, you can still experience the new ending by loading a save before the last battle.

New extra hard game mode: In addition to the already existing three difficulty levels, there is now the Honour mode – a kind of hardcore mode. This mode not only increases the difficulty level in and outside of combat, but also introduces over 30 adjustments to all boss fights. For example, bosses receive additional legendary actions.

No savescumming in this mode: Loading previous saves is disabled. Those who can complete the challenge from start to finish – without a party wipe – earn a golden dice skin.

In addition to the new game mode, there is now also a Custom Mode, allowing you to adjust the difficulty at will and make certain aspects of the game harder or easier. These homemade rules enable you to customize the gaming experience to your own preferences.

Tavern Brawler now works with the Druid: All Moon Druid fans pay attention. The Tavern Brawler talent now works with your hybrid form, which can be incredibly powerful. When you perform an unarmed attack with your shape, you add your strength modifier to your damage and attack rolls twice.

Improved inventory management: Larian Studios has made improvements to the inventory. In the storage, you can now access and manage the inventory of all companions without them being in the active party. So you no longer need to take the companions into the party just to rearrange it.

At first glance, it may seem like a small feature to many, but it is celebrated the most by the community, as players share it on Reddit . We have summarized some comments about Patch 5 for you.

This is what the community says:

  • yohanleafheart is happy about the inventory change and sums it up: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. This comment has received the most upvotes, with over 3,500.
  • Pepello writes: FUCK YEAH, I could kiss the developers for this.
  • rjabber also cheers about the inventory and praises the developers: Hooray. This was number 1 for me. Great game and Larian is doing a wonderful job.
  • Rolloftape23456: […]Tavern Brawler now also works for Wild Shapes, which has just made druids one of the best classes in the game. […]

In addition to these mentioned highlights, another aspect cannot be overlooked. Minthara could only be officially recruited if you sided with the evil side. Now it is also possible if you knock her out in combat, meaning not kill her. Later in the game, you can then convince her to join your group – and yes, the tieflings should also be able to survive with this change.

A mode from CoD: MW2 was considered a highlight, will no longer be supported in MW3 and Warzone

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 brought a new mode that many players extensively played for several hours in addition to Warzone – the DMZ mode. Now, a year has passed since its release in beta and as Season 1 in MW3 approaches, the developers have revealed that the mode will no longer be supported.

What is the DMZ mode? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launched with its campaign, Warzone 2, and its multiplayer. The developers also implemented the DMZ mode as a beta version to provide players with more variety.

The DMZ mode behaves like an extraction shooter. You land on a large map, collect items and weapons, complete missions, defend yourself against bots and regular players, and then try to escape the map safely. Many players celebrated the experiment by Activision and also hoped that the developers would further expand the mode in the future.

With the release of Season 1 in MW3, this is supposed to change, as the developers have, albeit indirectly, made it clear that DMZ will soon no longer be supported.

DMZ will no longer be supported in Warzone and MW3

What do the developers say? In an official blog post from Call of Duty, upcoming content for Warzone and MW3 was published. The developers revealed not only new weapons, an event, and the upcoming battle pass, but also clarified what is supposed to happen with the DMZ mode from MW2. The developers had the following to say:

[…] From the start of the first season next week, DMZ beta players can continue the mode through the Call of Duty: Warzone section of the COD headquarters. The DMZ beta remains fully playable across all current DMZ content, including Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, the Koschei Complex, Building 21, Vondel, and all DMZ missions. The mode will not be available or interact directly with Modern Warfare III or Call of Duty: Warzone, which means that progression and all new Modern Warfare III or Warzone content, including battle pass or store bundles, will not be synchronized or transferred back into this DMZ mode. Additionally, DMZ progression will not count towards new battle passes starting from season 1. […]

via callofduty.com

Moreover, they thank the community for their active support and feedback over the past months. With the learnings from the beta, the developers can improve their development in the future when it comes to this type of mode.

DMZ will thus not be completely shut down in this case, but rather left as it is in its current state. It is highly likely that no further updates will follow.

MWZ is the new DMZ: MW3 with its MWZ mode also has a DMZ mode, but with zombies. This mode will, unlike DMZ, be further expanded and supplied with new content.

New weapons, items, and also a new storyline will be added to keep players engaged. One might say that DMZ is now being replaced by MWZ. Whether Call of Duty releases a new DMZ in a modified form every year is unknown, but it could be possible.

We will have to wait and see how far MWZ will be supported and when the day will come that this mode will also reach its expiration date.

What do you think about DMZ no longer being supported? Did you enjoy DMZ or do you think it’s good that there’s a greater focus on MWZ? Let us know in the comments.

New survival game for Steam, PS5 and Xbox looks like ARK: Survival Evolved, but made by Disney

In an upcoming survival game on Steam, Xbox and PS5, you will encounter exotic creatures and nasty natives – but it looks like it’s from Disney

What kind of game is this? Under a Rock is an upcoming survival game developed by “Nordic trolls” and will be released on Steam, Xbox, PS5 and in the Epic Game Store.

You play as an explorer from the early 19th century who is stranded in a hidden land where evolution took a different path. The game world is a procedurally generated island, home to exotic and deadly creatures, jungle-like flora, and hostile natives.

A release date has not yet been announced, but as the developers have indicated, Under a Rock will launch in early access. There is already an announcement trailer that you can watch here:

Start video
The survival game Under a Rock is revealed for the first time in a new trailer

Tame, breed, and ride creatures like in ARK

What sets Under a Rock apart? In gameplay, Under a Rock relies on gameplay elements typical of survival games. For example, you can farm resources, craft items, and build your own structures. Cooking food is also part of the game.

Similar to the popular titles on Steam, ARK: Survival Evolved and its UE5 remake ARK: Survival Ascended, you can not only fight the various creatures in Under a Rock, but you can also tame, breed, and use them as mounts.

The most striking difference from ARK is the graphic style of Under a Rock. The game does not aim for a realistic or lifelike design of the game world, but instead opts for a colorful cartoon look reminiscent of Disney films and series.

Trailer well received by survival fans

How is the announcement trailer received? The announcement trailer for Under a Rock has already garnered some comments on YouTube. A large portion of them is quite positive.

  • “Looks good! Nordic Trolls has been busy! I love seeing the grappling hook and the glider in action!”
  • “I’ve been following this game for at least a year or 2 on Discord. They have come so far. I can’t wait to play it!”
  • “Still looks good. I’m definitely interested in playing it when it comes out as a full version.”

Overall, the trailer has made a good impression on many players, although it still does not provide real conclusions about the finished game and its final quality.

In World of Warcraft, a new era has begun – once again, one must say. Because at least for Classic fans, a dream has come true, as they have received a variant of “Classic+” – The Season of Discovery is live. In this season, there are fresh Classic servers, but with many new features.

All over the world, there are new hidden areas, secret treasures, and some new quests, all adorned with little secrets. Additionally, there is a glyph system that allows classes to break out of their pre-defined roles and acquire new spells – for instance, warlocks can become tanks and mages can become potent healers.

More about the current season has been revealed by the developers here:

WoW Classic: The Devs on the Season of Discovery in Interview

At the beginning, there was great concern that fans might not take it so well. After all, the idea is quite far from the original Classic.

The initial rush to the servers makes it clear: Many want to see this and engage with it.

This is why the season excites: Blizzard did not provide a test realm for this game mode beforehand, so the entire community has to discover all the new features “live”. Although more guides spring up with each passing hour, most new content has yet to be discovered, and you tend to stumble upon something “by chance”.

The likelihood is quite high that you will stumble upon something while playing that hardly any other player has seen before you – these can only be small details or really beautiful secrets.

If you don’t like that, you might as well wait a few more days and then just play “by guide” to collect all the new glyphs or other secrets. However, that would probably ruin much of the appeal that the new mode brings.

This is the criticism: As with nearly every launch of any WoW content, there is also criticism. Especially at the beginning, there were long queues that could range from 10 minutes to several hours. Blizzard has already opened some new realms to reduce waiting times.

Still, there is criticism from people who took the day off to jump straight in. They feel, almost in good old tradition, betrayed by Blizzard. In addition, Shmexy writes in the WoW Classic Subreddit with some agreement in the subreddit:

First of all, calm down for heaven’s sake. If you took the day off, that is your fault. Never take off on release day.

Secondly, it’s only been 20 minutes. I see posts from people complaining about 15-30 minute queues as if that were a problem.

Has none of you played WotLK Classic? Or literally any other expansion from Blizzard? (…)

Servers are not designed for launch, but for long-term stability.

What is feared? The community is still skeptical about whether the “Season of Discovery” can keep players’ interest in the long term. Many fear that this is just a small “snack” – leveling up to the maximum level within 2-3 days, visiting the new raid once, and then stopping again. Whether the season will truly remain alive for a longer time remains to be seen.

But at least the initial rush is large – and that is already a good sign. Blizzard has even set up a few new realms to manage the rush.

Are you checking out the Season of Discovery? Or is it really not to your liking?

In WotLK Classic, meanwhile, the mood is bad – because players hate the gold situation.

EA FC 24: Radioactive event is live – With Messi and Benzema

In EA FC 24 there has been another event premiere. Since today, Friday, December 1st, at 7:00 PM, you can experience the Radioactive promo in Ultimate Team. We provide you with all the information about the event and show you the complete first team.

What is the Radioactive event? The new promo focuses primarily on the chemistry points of the cards. The new Radioactive players already bring one chemistry point for their nation and another chemistry point for their club. Therefore, it is enough to include a suitable manager from the same league or any other player from the same league in the team to play the Radioactive player at full chemistry. This also brings advantages for the team colleagues.

Here you can see the influence of the Radioactive players on the overall chemistry.

In addition to the positive influence on the overall chemistry of the team, the players primarily receive only an improvement in their overall rating.

Complete Radioactive Team 1 – With Messi and Benzema

Which players are included in Team 1? The two most prominent representatives have already reached a respectable age in football. Lionel Messi has received his first special card in EA FC 24. Alongside the Argentine veteran, an experienced French forward star has also been included. Karim Benzema also received a special promo card. We have listed all the other players as well.

In addition, you can complete numerous objectives, with Eric Bailly even unlocking a Radioactive player. Meanwhile, you can also earn some packs and experience points.

Additionally, a special event cup has already become a tradition in EA FC 24. In a designated friendly match mode, you can collect up to ten wins to secure rewards.

The event also includes a special advent calendar, where you can earn additional packs through daily SBCs.

Director provides an update on Constantine 2 – Keanu Reeves is back and it is supposed to be darker than part 1

Director Francis Lawrence provided an update on the current status of the horror and superhero film from DC, Constantine 2. The sequel is set to be even darker than the first part.

In February 2005, Constantine was released, a superhero film with horror elements. A few years later, in late 2020, it was announced that the film would receive a sequel (via Filmstarts).

Now there is an update: On November 21, 2023, director Francis Lawrence, who also worked on The Hunger Games – The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter. He also addressed the current status of the sequel to the DC film.

Here you can see a trailer for the first Constantine film:

After some delays, it should now get going

What did the director say in the interview? In the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director discussed the hurdles that have recently complicated the work on Constantine 2. He mentioned the personnel changes in the leadership ranks at DC as well as the strikes as factors.

However, he expressed optimism and stated that work on the project is ongoing:

The leadership team at DC has changed, and they have their plans. But fortunately, we managed to gain a little control [over the project] and have started working on some ideas for Constantine 2, which we are very excited about.

We are still at the very beginning, as the strike has stalled the work for a while. We will probably come together again after Thanksgiving and try to realize the project.

Francis Lawrence via The Hollywood Reporter

Thanksgiving was celebrated on November 23, 2023. So it can be assumed that work on the implementation of Constantine 2 is currently underway. Francis Lawrence also confirmed in the interview that his focus is now fully on the DC project.

Will be more brutal than part 1

What else do we know about Constantine 2? In an earlier interview with brobible, the director had already mentioned that the new film will be “very R-rated”. Additionally, lead actor Keanu Reeves will also be back.

Our colleagues at Moviepilot spoke to Francis Lawrence regarding the new film of The Hunger Games. Here you can read the interview: The Hunger Games are back: The director agrees with the criticism of the original series and explains why Jennifer Lawrence is not involved

When will Constantine 2 be released? A planned release date for the DC sequel has not yet been announced. There are currently no details about the plot of the Constantine sequel.

If you enjoy dark movies and series, this upcoming Netflix film by Zack Snyder might also interest you:

The possibly biggest sci-fi film of the year is coming soon to Netflix in a “normal” and a “brutal” version

Diablo 4 receives a major change in items with Season 4 that fans have been waiting for

In the current Campfire chat, Blizzard addresses the concerns and wishes of players in Diablo 4. The development team has heard the criticism and now wants to make changes to the items. They aim to tackle the problem with the numerous affixes.

What kind of problem is it?

  • In Diablo 4, each item has a fixed attack or armor value as well as a fixed property. All other bonuses on the items are affixes.
  • There are over 200 different affixes. This makes it difficult for those who do not delve deeply into the individual bonuses to recognize upgrades.
  • Due to the high number of affixes, there is only a small chance that the perfect item for your build will drop.

Blizzard has recognized that it is hard for players to do anything with their loot (via youtube.com). However, the team wanted the path to perfect gear to be a journey for the players. Therefore, they will address the issues in an upcoming season.

With this trick, you are well-prepared for new loot:

Diablo 4: With this trick, you save inventory slots

Diablo 4 wants to change its items

What is Blizzard working on? Blizzard has not revealed specific plans regarding what changes will be made in the future. However, the development team wants to address the problem that there are currently too many affixes. Whether they will remove or combine affixes has not been disclosed.

Additionally, there should be options to personalize your items. Modifying items is crucial for player progression and would make Diablo 4 overall more exciting. One possibility would be to introduce tools that would allow this.

Moreover, the loot filter is under discussion. The German Twitch streamer wudijo has already called for a loot filter because there are simply too many useless items. This way, players would quickly recognize which items they can use.

As soon as Blizzard knows how exactly the changes are to be implemented, there will be a new stream from the developers.

When will the changes come? Blizzard states that the item changes will not be introduced until Season 4. The team wants to wait so that all changes can be applied at once and not just introduced piecemeal. Only then can a harmonious interplay of all changes be ensured.

What do fans say about the changes? In the reddit forum, there are many players who are happy about the changes. To reduce the number of affixes, fans suggest that useless affixes should simply be removed from the game. The current selection of affixes is too complex.

The loot filter is also a desired feature. User anchuto writes, for example, that with a loot filter he would not have to analyze every single item anymore.

Besides the changes to the items, Blizzard is especially focused on endgame content, which is another point high on the developer team’s list. Players criticize that there is too little of it:

Diablo 4 has no endgame? Players explain what many do wrong: ‘Treat it like Diablo 2’

In December, Pokémon GO is bringing the Egg Access ticket. Here you can find out what’s included, how much it costs, and how long it lasts.

Pokémon GO is all about the new season Timeless Travels. In addition to various new events, the new season also kicks off today with the Egg Access ticket, which you can purchase.

How much does the ticket cost? The ticket will be available in the shop for 5.99 euros. You can purchase it starting December 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM, and you have until December 29, 2023, at 8:00 PM to acquire it.

How long do the bonuses last? The bonuses of the ticket are active from December 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM, until December 31, 2023, at 8:00 PM, provided you have purchased the ticket.

Here you can find the trailer for the new season:

Start video

What’s included in the new ticket

What bonuses does the ticket provide? With the purchase of the ticket, you will receive various bonuses that last until the end of the year 2023, as well as a limited-time research task. The bonuses of the ticket are as follows:

  • One disposable incubator every day for the first spin of a PokéStop
  • 3x experience points for the first catch of the day
  • 3x experience points for the first spun PokéStop of the day
  • 50 gifts can be opened per day (instead of 30)
  • 150 gifts can be sent per day (instead of 100)
  • 40 gifts can be stored in the item bag (instead of 20)

Note that you can only receive the disposable incubators each day if you also spin a PokéStop.

What rewards are there in the limited-time research? If you complete the tasks of the limited-time research successfully, you will receive the following 3 rewards:

  • Experience points
  • Stardust
  • Encounter with Kaumalat

The Kaumalat you encounter can also appear in its shiny form.

Who is the ticket worth it for? If you brave the temperatures, are out and about a lot, and want to level up your character, the ticket could be advantageous. The triple experience points and the increased number of eggs that can be hatched through the daily disposable incubators can provide a large amount of experience points.

Additionally, many candies can be collected through the disposable incubators.

Who is the ticket not worth it for? If you are looking for new Pokémon to further fill your Pokédex, the ticket does not offer much advantage.

Of course, there are other events in December in Pokémon GO besides the ticket.

LoL: Twitch streamer screams, Riot has completely destroyed League of Legends

The Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp loves and hates League of Legends. After two bad games, he explained how terrible Riot Games is and in what pathetic state the balance of LoL is. He can’t play it anymore. The next day he ripped again for 5 hours.

This is Tyler1:

  • In 2022 and all the years before, Tyler1 was the biggest streamer of League of Legends. But in 2023 he played relatively little, now the German NoWay4U has surpassed him, the 31-year-old is now the biggest streamer of League of Legends in the world on Twitch.
  • Tyler1 is known for his outbursts: When he is in rage, he gives no good feedback to LoL.
  • He had such a phase on November 28th. He raged against League of Legends and the developers Riot Games.
Start video
How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends

Tyler1 loses 2 times in a row: “Devs have destroyed all my passion for the game”

What did he say? At the time of his outburst, Tyler1 had lost 2 games in a row – mainly due to bad teammates: He had a Taliyah in the jungle who only got 2 kills but died 10 times. The top side of his team was at 8 kills and 23 deaths. On the other side, however, Naafiri (8 kills) and Graves (18 kills) shone.

That put Tyler1 in rage:

“Guys, I want to be honest. I can’t play this shit anymore. The game is terrible, it’s just terrible. The developers have killed it. Everyone is in a bad mood when they play it.”

The balance is so terrible that it has destroyed “all passion and all playability” that Tyler1 ever felt for LoL. He might now play one match in silver a day so he has something for YouTube.

Even with the many changes of Season 14, nothing will change. Everything will just be broken again. The developers just pick up their paycheck. They could just.
Shame on them, shame on every one of them.

He said this and logged out of Twitch after about 4:30 hours.

Illaoi brings back his love the next day

Here’s how it continued: The next day Tyler logged back in, ripped 5 hours in LoL. He played Illaoi top lane, dominated the poor Alistar in the endgame, flamed the opponents constantly in chat, and shouted “Top-Lane Diff”.

At the end of the stream, he stated it was a good day. He had gained about 150 LP. When he plays Illaoi, it simply works. Only when he doesn’t get her is he “pissed off”, then he sees LoL for what the game actually is.

League of Legends Illaoi
Illaoi brings back the love.

What’s behind that. Tyler1 is just like every other LoL player. His opinion about the balance and state of LoL strongly depends on whether he has won or lost his last games.

Tyler1 has a strange relationship with LoL. He sees himself as “addicted”. But no matter how much Tyler1 hates LoL, the game provides for a comfortable standard of living:

Baldur’s Gate 3: Patch 5 is here – The patch notes for the new endings, game modes and bug fixes

The new Patch 5 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is now available for PC (Steam) and PS5. The patch notes are packed with changes. MeinMMO summarizes the most important aspects for you.

The highlights of Patch 5:

Why should I replay the ending? There is now a completely new final scene based on the decisions you made in the game. The original ending is considered quite unsatisfactory.

The quasi “new Act 6” takes place half a year after the end of the game. All your companions will be present again, and you can talk to them. For all the decisions you made, there are brand new cutscenes.

If you have already finished the game, you can still check out the new ending: Larian explains that you can load a save file before the final battle. After that, you will see the new epilogue.

Select a MMO video…

New game modes, performance improvements, and tons of bug fixes

The new Honour mode is primarily aimed at players seeking a challenge. Boss enemies receive “legendary actions” – these are special actions in D&D that only such bosses can perform and that they can use several times each round.

If you die in this mode, you will receive an overview of your achievements – the run ends there. You can continue playing, but the “Honour” mode will then end. If you make it to the end, you get an achievement and golden dice as a skin.

In addition, there are some bug fixes and especially updates for better game quality. You can now browse through the inventories of all characters in the camp, even if they are not in your group. Changes include:

  • The hamster Boo no longer takes damage when thrown.
  • Specific scenes in the romance with Astarion have been fixed.
  • You can now loot Orin’s “costume” from her corpse, put it on, and … dye it (please don’t ask).
  • Interactions of many characters, classes, and races have been fixed.
  • You can find the full patch notes in the Larian forum.

A change that is dealt with in just one sentence is sure to please many players: Minthara now comments with a loving word when you are in a relationship. It may not be much, but it’s a step in the right direction for all Drow fans who have long been advocating for more content:

CoD MW3: Season 1 brings a Christmas event with new modes & rewards in Warzone

With the first season in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the Christmas event “CODMAS arrives and brings new challenges and rewards for Warzone. Don’t worry: The multiplayer won’t be left out.

In just under a week, it will be here: On December 6, season 1 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Warzone will be released on all platforms. The start time is 6 PM German time.

In addition to three new maps and new content for the zombie mode, there will also be a new map for Warzone – Urzikstan. And during the first season, the CODMAS event will take place there, including thematically appropriate maps and modes. We will reveal what to expect.

Start video

Juggernaut Santa and Deadly Snowballs

What kind of event is this? According to the CoD website, the Holiday Event CODMAS is supposed to bring new challenges and rewards to the Urzikstan map in Call of Duty: Warzone. Some are visible, others are hidden.

  • Slay Ride Resurgence“ Limited Time Mode: This mode is supposed to be a festive version of Resurgence – the faster variant of battle royale, where you respawn instead of ending up in the Gulag when shot by an opponent. There, a “series of surprises” will also await you.
  • Deck the Halls: Throughout Urzikstan, gifts are scattered in so-called “Holiday Boxes”. When players interact with the boxes, a flare will be sent – so be prepared for fights over the gifts. The players who can hold the point the longest will meet Santa Claus – “or at least something that used to be Santa Claus,” it says.
  • Zombie Santa: If you receive a key during “Deck the Halls”, a “Merry” portal will appear. If you use this, you can take on a zombified Juggernaut Santa. If you defeat this evil incarnation of Santa, you will be rewarded with valuable loot.
  • Slay Ride: Santa has taken over the train in Urzikstan and distributes gifts to all good players he meets. However, you will encounter severe resistance if you haven’t been good.
  • Snowball Fights: Everywhere in Urzikstan, you will find deadly snowballs as ground loot, represented by a snowflake symbol on the map. (We envision these snowball fights to be a bit more chaotic and dangerous than the ones we know..)

Will there also be event content in multiplayer? During the 12 days that CODMAS is supposed to last, there will also be a new challenge for the multiplayer of CoD: MW3. This could then run similarly to previous events. In the events, you could previously farm XP in matches or complete certain tasks to unlock rewards.

Currently, you can unlock a new weapon by completing the weekly challenge in addition to the event rewards. We will show you how to do this, which setup is strong for the start, and how good the TAQ Eradicator really is:
