The survival game Medieval Dynasty on Steam promises to bring you the co-op mode this year. As the reactions to the trailer and the release date show, players seem to have been waiting for this for a long time.
Which game is it about? Medieval Dynasty is a mix of survival and life simulation, set in medieval Europe.
You build and manage your own village, establish a community, and take care of all matters concerning it. Interactions with NPCs are the main focus, as fulfilling their needs is an important step in expanding your village.
With its gameplay mechanics, Medieval Dynasty seems to have hit the mark. This is suggested by the 90% positive ratings on Steam.
A while ago, a co-op mode was announced, which players have long wished for. Now, the much-anticipated mode has come a step closer, as the release date has finally been revealed in a new trailer.
On Steam, you can use the co-op mode starting from December 7, 2023. Console players will have to wait until the first or even second quarter of 2024.
You can watch the trailer here on MeinMMO:

Medieval Dynasty Coop Trailer
What the trailer shows: The trailer gives you an impression of the possibilities that the co-op mode will offer. You will see gameplay scenes where you explore the medieval world of the game with up to four players, go hunting, and gather materials.
Together, you will continue to expand the village and take on different tasks to reach your goals faster and make your settlement grow more quickly.
Besides work, it seems that fun will also not be lacking in the upcoming co-op mode. In a little gameplay scene, the four players even have a snowball fight.
How are the reactions? The co-op mode has been long desired by players, as is evident in the comments on YouTube. Finally having a release date to be able to play with their friends soon excites many:
Davamir writes: I sit here with tears in my eyes, OMG, this is going to be so cool […]
valeqsi463 writes: I am so excited about this. The wait is almost over
Mason-kd2zr writes: I expect the game to gain a lot of popularity when the co-op mode arrives […]
LaBonnieBelle writes: I can’t wait. My friend and I love this game. The love and attention you put into the game is just beautiful.
Are you also waiting for the co-op mode? Or will Medieval Dynasty remain a single-player game for you? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.
In EA FC 24 a professional completed a walkover through his Weekend League. The player only needed two hours to achieve 20 wins and thus reach the maximum. He also approached the FIFA record for the fastest Weekend League with a 20/0 record.
Who is it about? The FIFA 22 World Champion Umut “RBLZ_Umut” Gültekin (here is his Twitch account) is one of the best players in the world. In EA FC 24, he is also in stunning form and earns the best rewards in the Weekend League week after week.
Last weekend, he finished all 20 games in record time. You can find the highlights of the most exciting games here until minute 3:30.

FIFA professional misses record for the fastest 20 wins
Who holds the current record? There is no official entry for the record, but the streamer and e-professional FurkyPlayz regularly informed his community in FIFA 23 about the best times for the fastest 20 wins in the Weekend League.
According to the streamer, he achieved a record of 20 wins in under 90 minutes, thus claiming to have the fastest time for 20 games won. This would give FurkyPlayz at least the unofficial German record.
The professional documented his record in a video on YouTube. You can watch the highlights here:

Is the record time claimed by FurkyPlayz even realistic? Normally, a game lasts 15 to 20 minutes in full length. For 5 games, one must account for at least an hour, more likely even 90 minutes. Over 20 games, this would total around 6 hours of play time.
However, many players save time by not finishing a game when they fall behind by several goals. The result is that they leave the game and give their opponent the victory even before the 90 minutes are up, which is colloquially known as a rage quit.
Thus, the under 90 minutes claimed by FurkyPlayz is nevertheless difficult to achieve, as the level of opponents increases with wins, making rage quits less likely. However, such a record time is not impossible.
The world champion missed the best time by a good half hour. However, the German eSports player was not actually on a record hunt. Something else seems to be occupying him more. What exactly, you can read below.
In EA FC 24, it became a downfall for the world champion that he apparently improved too quickly compared to most other players. He had great difficulty finding opponents.
Too fast for the WL? Professional considers new accounts
How does the professional react to his walkover? In the already linked highlight video of his weekend league, the FIFA world champion is asked by a streaming colleague what he would do for the rest of the weekend. Since the professional has nothing left to do on his Sunday, he is considering at least a third account, maybe even several new accounts.
If the eSports player manages to go through the 20 games as quickly with his future accounts, we might soon report on a new record for the most Weekend League wins in one weekend.
It should be an entertaining evening, where the popular TikToker and Twitch streamer Dilara wanted to play and stream Fortnite together with her best friend Anna. However, even before the planned gaming event, the situation escalated and Anna burst into tears.
Who is Dilara? Since 2019, Dilara has captivated the social media world with her content, especially on TikTok. With an impressive following of 6.9 million followers, she has become a true influencer. Her videos include dance clips, fan questions, and current TikTok trends.
Her trademarks are her green hair strands and her constant smile.
Who is Anna? Often found by Dilara’s side is her friend Anna, who, with her striking fire-red hair, is another social media star. The two call themselves “Mario and Luigi”.
Anna herself has 1.7 million TikTok followers and shares not only dance videos but also comedy, vlogs, and current TikTok trends. She has been active on Twitch since May 2021, averaging around 500 viewers (via Twitchtracker).

“I feel a bit sold out, actually”
What happened before the planned stream? The two friends had arranged for a joint evening, in which they wanted to play Fortnite and stream live on Twitch at the same time. However, they had not agreed on a specific time.
Before the planned Fortnite matches, Anna decided to play three rounds of Counter-Strike. Surprisingly, Dilara joined her streamer colleague Rewinside to also play Counter-Strike to kill time.
Before the Counter-Strike rounds were over, Anna started to discuss the situation in her own Twitch stream and said: “I feel a bit sold out, actually. I specifically said I would do 3 rounds of Counter-Strike and then we would play Fortnite. And then Rewi pops up, and it’s like, okay, I’m also playing Counter-Strike now. But she didn’t ask me if I wanted to play Counter-Strike.”.
Anna explained that she wished Dilara had asked her if she wanted to play Counter-Strike. She said she would find it uncool because it was not the first time with Dilara.
Why did Anna start to cry? Eventually, Anna burst into tears. Her colleague in the stream said: “Time and again. That is the worst part about it.”
Many viewers wrote to Dilara in the chat that Anna was crying. Dilara was shocked and tried to call Anna, but she did not pick up the phone. Dilara’s chat clarified that Anna did not want to talk to her at that moment.
Confused and worried, Dilara asked if Anna was angry with her since they had not agreed on a specific time for playing together yet. The chat then explained: “She would have liked to play Counter-Strike with you.” Dilara apologized but emphasized that she did not understand the situation.
She said: “I would say we didn’t do anything, did we? So, nothing bad at all. We just played Counter-Strike because she was still in the game.”
Spider-Man is one of the most famous superheroes of all time. After No Way Home, there was also a film of the web-slinger released this year. This time, the sequel to the animated film. The film was a huge financial success, and it was also popular with critics. Next week you can watch the film on Netflix.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was a real hit this year. It was not only a financial success but also well-received by critics. On the platform Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an average rating of 96 % from critics and 94 % from users.
The film is the sequel to Spider-Man: A New Universe and continues the story of Miles Morales, who is the Spider-Man in his universe. He faces a new enemy that poses a threat to the entire multiverse. In the film, Miles meets many other Spider-Man variants.
This year, the film even dethroned the well-known Bat-Man:
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Trailer 3 (English) HD
An Animation Masterpiece
What makes the film so good? In animated films, we find ourselves in a rather generic state regarding how such films look. Disney, Pixar, Illumination, and others have their quirks in character design and how people look there, but the animation style and animation technique are very similar.
Everything is always very clear, with defined movements and a slick style. Spider-Man: A New Universe did it completely differently in 2018 by mixing classic 3D animation with 2D elements from cartoons and anime. This gives the film a comic book-like look and establishes its own style.
The edges and corners also define the character of the film and perfectly suit the multiverse theme in this year’s sequel. The many other Spider-Men are perfectly showcased and each has a character that is clearly communicated through their own animations and drawing styles.
Miles Morales is also a great change from the Peter Parker stories of the other films. His interactions with his parents and his presentation of his background are simply heartwarming and believable. The film is less for children and more for teenagers and adults. It also offers older Spider-Man fans many nods to the hero’s history that many young fans may not know.
One of the key points of the film is the action. With the many colors and wild animations, each action sequence is a true feast for the eyes. Swinging through the city is dynamic and captivating at the same time.
If you watch the new Turtles film and the Puss in Boots film, you can also see the influence the new Spider-Man series can have on animated films, and you can only hope that more animated films will finally become more experimental.
This animated series is a trilogy, and the conclusion of the series will also come in the coming years. Starting November 1st, you can watch Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on Netflix. If you’re not familiar with the series at all, you can also watch the first part on Netflix beforehand.
For the third part of the animation saga, fans are wishing for a very special actor:
Even before the first chapter of Kagurabachi was released, the manga gained a large fanbase. Many users claim that Kagurabachi is better than One Piece, Boruto, and other well-known shounen mangas. The hype has drawn a lot of attention to the manga.
What is Kagurabachi about?
At the center of the story is a young man named Chihiro
He is the son of a well-known swordsmith and dreams of following in his father’s footsteps
The swordsmith is killed one day, and Chihiro becomes a sword fighter to avenge his father
With his magical sword, he faces a group of sorcerers
The manga is not that old: The first chapter was released on September 19, 2023, and there are currently only 6 chapters. Nevertheless, the manga is seen by many fans as the heir to the “Big 3” in the shounen genre, which includes One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach.
If Kagurabachi becomes as successful as One Piece, an anime could follow soon. One Piece has even made it to a live-action adaptation on Netflix:
Start video

Kagurabachi surpasses Dragon Ball and Boruto
Why is the manga so successful? The manga became a target for many memes even before its release. Some users took pleasure in hyping the manga as the best shounen manga of all time (via knowyourmeme.com).
Thus, many memes emerged that show Kagurabachi in relation to well-known mangas. For example, there are memes depicting Chihiro defeating the sword fighter Zorro from One Piece in a battle.
The memes have spread uncontrollably on the internet. A collection of memes can be seen, for example, at user Jahseh_Wrld on Reddit:

The memes even go so far that fans fake an anime or a video game adaptation that looks almost real. As a result, some users believe that there is already a whole franchise around the manga, even though it is only a month old.
The hype does not necessarily indicate how good the story of the manga is. It could be that the hype was completely unfounded, and the manga may flop in the future. Since the manga currently only has 6 chapters, it is difficult to predict how good it will really become.
How successful has Kagurabachi been because of this? The hype has ensured that Kagurabachi has now become the second most read manga on the Manga Plus page. Only One Piece is currently read more often. Behind Kagurabachi are well-known series such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Boruto.
Manga Plus is a site from the Shueisha publishing house. The publisher offers popular mangas such as One Piece, Dragon Ball Super, and My Hero Academia for reading on its site. Many of the mangas there have spawned action-packed animes that you can find in the ranking on MeinMMO:
The huge crowdfunding project Star Citizen celebrates itself and its fans at CitizenCon. The highlight of the event was a 27-minute video about the single-player campaign Squadron 42, featuring Hollywood stars like Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, and Gillian Anderson. The game is now “featured-complete.”
This was the most important news from CitizenCon:
After an almost endless development time, CIG is celebrating an important milestone of the single-player spin-off of Star Citizen: Squadron 42.
The game is now “feature complete.” Only polishing is left, as Chris Roberts announces.
However, CIG still does not provide a release date for Squadron 42: Experts estimate that there are still 2 to 3 years until the release (via pcgamer). Roberts stated: “When we set a release date, you will be the first to know.”
Start video
Star Citizen shows the campaign Squadron 42 in the trailer
Bombastic presentation full of Hollywood stars
This is what we see in the trailer for Squadron 42: The 27-minute trailer presents Squadron 42 in its entirety.
Senior Game Director, Richard Tyrer, directs the viewers’ focus to “tactical first-person shooter combat and stealth elements”.
Viewers will surely notice the distinctive faces of the Hollywood stars: CIG has recruited several actors and actresses in 2015 who are well-known and well-received by the target audience of the game:
Mark Hamill (Star Wars)
Gillian Anderson (The X-Files)
Gary Oldman (The Fifth Element)
stand out particularly.
The actors were filmed with ping-pong balls at that time. The recordings took place in 2015 and were documented back then (via pcgamer).
Squadron 42 was originally announced for 2014 – News blackout since 2020
Originally, the release of Squadron 42 was even announced for 2014, but then it was postponed many times.
In December 2020, Roberts then announced that no new release dates would be mentioned and no gameplay shown until they were “in the final sprint.” This point has now seemingly been reached.
After 10 years of waiting, many players are moved
How is the trailer received? The trailer is receiving excellent feedback. Currently, it has already garnered over 200,000 views within 8 hours and generated many enthusiastic comments.
The most popular comment says: “Mind blown: That was such a fantastic cinematic/walkthrough of Squadron 42. I am hyped.”
Others say: It was worth the wait.
One comment says almost ceremonially: After a 10-year journey, we have arrived here.
And is this now Star Citizen? No, Squadron 42 is a “spin-off of Star Citizen”:
Star Citizen itself is a sandbox MMO with a huge universe. The game is currently in alpha. What is special about Star Citizen is that the game is funded through donations. In the meantime, CIG has raised $616 million – a lot of money comes from the sale of expensive virtual ships, which are also viewed as trade and speculation objects.
Squadron 42 is a single-player game with a clear story. The game is currently unplayable, but a release is expected in the coming years.
What’s behind it: A convention for a single game that has not yet been released. $616 million invested in virtual ships. A game developer who is almost venerated cultically.
Star Citizen has become more of a hobby or a way of life for many than a “normal game.” This is also evident in the comments on the YouTube video.
Despite all the criticism regarding postponed release dates, vaporware, and feature creep, it must be acknowledged that the team around Chris Roberts repeatedly manages to present Star Citizen as an event where the journey seems to be more important than the destination. The emotional connection players have formed with this project is almost unprecedented. This is paying off in the project’s funding. Just on October 22, $1.6 million came in fresh.
All the criticism and outsiders’ misunderstanding of the project seemingly only serve to make the community bond even closer around the game.
Even as an outsider looking at all this with raised eyebrows, one cannot help but watch with curiosity how it will all end. The decision to focus on the “tangible” in 2023 on Squadron 42, rather than talking about distant milestones in Star Citizen, seems to be paying off.
Chris Roberts has announced that many elements from Squadron 42 will also be integrated into Star Citizen and will significantly improve it:
Hunt: Showdown shows in a new trailer what DLC content you can currently get. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you should check it out here on MeinMMO, as it excites the players.
What to expect in the DLC: As a monster hunter at the end of the 19th century, you are in this PvPvE horror shooter on Steam, hunting boss monsters. You fight your way through a lot of NPC enemies and up to 10 other players make your life difficult, as they pursue the same goal. Just not with you.
The new DLC Souls of a Feather provides you with a legendary hunter in two variants, two legendary weapons and a new consumable item.
The DLC impresses especially with its fitting trailer, which we have embedded here for you:

Why the trailer is so impressive: Why the trailer particularly excites players becomes clear quite quickly in the comments (via YouTube). There, people mostly write positively about the animations and the structure of the trailer.
Many players write that this is the best trailer they have ever seen for Hunt: Showdown. User kiteinthenite3602 even goes a step further and describes the trailer as the best game trailer ever seen. In this context, the user also praises the continuous improvement of Cosmetics and animations.
The animations and the team behind them are indeed praised in many comments. For example, peaskygt5928 writes that whoever is behind this trailer is a god. And VitezGamesDev shares a similar opinion with his comment that the animation team has leveled up.
And when you watch the trailer, you can definitely recognize the love that the team put into it, regardless of whether you like it or not.
The combat scenes that you see in the trailer are beautifully staged. The team really well utilized the different angles, speeds, and stylistic devices to breathe life into the trailer and keep it exciting for the viewer.
The fire in the background creates the right atmosphere when you can only perceive the characters as black outlines.
All this is accompanied by suitable music, which gives the trailer the final touch. So it is quite understandable why the trailer is so well received by players.

Invincible is the mount of the Lich King Arthas and a rare drop in World of Warcraft. Anyone riding through Azeroth with it is guaranteed to attract all the attention.
How much does the mount cost in Diablo 4? Invincible can now be purchased in the Diablo 4 shop. It costs 2,500 Platinum, which means you have to buy at least the package with 2,800 Platinum for 24.99 euros.
The package also includes a matching mount armor as well as the Helm of Domination and the sword Echo of Frostmourne as trophies. This gives you a really nice mount package.
Can you always buy the mount? The current offer will already disappear today, on October 23, at 7:00 PM from the shop, along with the Invincible bundle. However, offers in the shop often rotate either downwards or come back later. So we can’t say for sure whether the offer will disappear irretrievably.
How expensive is this compared to other shop items? In the shop, there are similar mount packages for 1,600 to 2,000 Platinum. The Lich King’s mount is therefore a bit more expensive. Complete armor packages for the classes cost up to 2,800 Platinum.
Here you can take a look at the skin:
Mount has only a drop chance of 4% in WoW
How rare is Invincible in WoW? While you can simply buy the mount in Diablo 4, you need to work hard to get it in WoW. To obtain the mount, you have to defeat the Lich King in his raid Icecrown Citadel on heroic difficulty.
However, the mount only drops in 3 out of 67 cases and currently has a drop chance of about 4.48% in WOTLK Classic (via WoWHead). At the release of Wrath of the Lich King, this chance was only around one percent.
How many mounts does WoW offer? In the MMORPG, you can earn over 1,000 different mounts. Some you are guaranteed to get, while others are rare drops, sometimes from monsters you don’t pay much attention to.
Crossover between Diablo 4, WoW, and other Blizzard games happen all the time. But how do you feel about Arthas’s mount now being available in Diablo 4? And is the price justified? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

In Blizzards Diablo 4 the latest season has started. At the beginning, a strange PR campaign was devised. For enough blood donations, they are auctioning a gaming PC with fast hardware.
To celebrate the release of the new season of the game, Season of Blood, and the blood harvest events that were introduced with it, Blizzard has launched a month-long blood donation campaign in the USA that unlocks in-game rewards as more players participate.
Once the donations reach a certain amount, players can participate in a raffle where they can win “a PC cooled with real human blood.” By the way, our title image is a symbolic image and cannot be won.
You can watch the new season here in the official trailer:
Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires
In addition to a gaming PC, there are also skins and a special mount
By the way, Blizzard is working with local blood donation centers for the entire campaign. You must submit the corresponding proof of donation on the website where you can also see the donation goal (via bloodharvest.com).
How much must be donated? Blizzard states that a total of 666 quarts of blood must be collected with the campaign. Quarts are a unit of measurement that is no longer used in Germany. 666 quarts is approximately 630 liters.
What is there to win? If enough blood is donated, a whole range of new skins, armor, and even a mount will be unlocked for all players:
At 33% of the goal, there are 5 new weapon cosmetics.
At 66%, the cosmetic armor Loch Raeth Maor Barbarian is unlocked.
At 100%, a new mount is unlocked and the raffle is opened.
The campaign runs until November 22, 2023. You can check the progress of the donation campaign on Blizzard’s website that we linked above.
What’s in the PC? Aside from the fact that the PC uses “human blood in the cooling liquid,” the system contains powerful hardware:
The catch: Only residents of the 50 US states who are at least 18 years old are eligible to participate. Most of us are therefore not allowed to participate in this campaign, but are supposedly benefiting from the new skins, the armor, and the mount. Because these are then supposed to be unlocked for all players.
More about Season 2 in Diablo: You can find all information about the new season in Diablo 4 directly on our site MeinMMO. Here we present all the information in detail and explain what you should know for the launch:
Witches were previously considered one of the weakest classes in Diablo 4. With Season 2, however, Blizzard has significantly improved and provided buffs. Now, spellcasters have one of the strongest builds in the game, as an impressive video shows.
What is this build?
The Arcane Orb Sorceress is one of the top builds for Sorceresses in Season 2, along with the builds surrounding Ice Shard, Firewall, and Blizzard .
In addition, the build is among the strongest in the game: It is in the S-Tier of the tier list (via maxroll.gg).
Now a player has defeated Uber Lilith with the build, the nasty final boss of the game, which serves as a benchmark for builds. Although the video is one minute long, the actual fight without cutscenes lasts less than 10 seconds:

This is what makes the build strong: The build relies on you casting the namesake spell Arcane Orb. With the right runes and legendary affixes, the orbs then swirl around you and deal damage.
Additionally, the ultimate ability “Unstable Current” ensures that you cast random spells whenever a shock ability is cast. The Arcane Orb build takes advantage of the new vampire powers from Season 2. Here it gains benefits from:
increased attack speed
reduced cooldown on “Unstable Current”
guaranteed vulnerability, something that Sorceresses had trouble with before
The special thing about it is the Pact of Transformation, which generates mana. Although it is actually the “strongest” in the set, it is not leveled up – so that it is triggered more often. Your entire focus is on having many Arcane Orbs that roast the enemy in seconds.
In principle, you just stand next to enemies in a dress of lightning and watch them die. Such absurd scenes have only previously been achieved by Barbarians who could kill enemies while AFK.
The theme of Season 2 is vampires:
Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires
The Zonk from Season 1 is now really strong – players want it to stay that way
Many players are happy that Sorceresses now have a build in S-Tier. In Season 1 and before, the class was by far the worst and could hardly compete with the other classes in endgame content.
The big problem of the class was that very few builds were actually playable, because the “vulnerable” mechanic accounted for most of the damage in the game. Sorceresses could only reliably achieve this through certain ice spells.
Now they can trigger the effect with all spells through the vampiric pacts and have much more choice in their builds. Players, for example on Reddit, are happy about this and say: This is how it should be. Not just one build, but many per class should be fun.
Diablo 4 is not a competitive game that requires careful balance. If several classes and builds maybe go a bit overboard, that’s not a problem. Overall, it looks like Season 2 is doing a lot right:
The Twitch streamer Emiru can now say that she survived a visit to the cave of the MMORPG nerd Asmongold and came out unscathed.
Who is it about? The Twitch streamer Emily “Emiru” Schunk became known for cosplay and content related to League of Legends. Since January 2022, she has been a member of the gaming organization of her Twitch colleague Asmongold, “One True King.” A year later, she became a co-owner.
The Texan Zack alias “Asmongold” is regarded as the biggest MMORPG streamer on Twitch and is known for fulfilling every stereotype of a typical gamer:
His personal hygiene and the cleanliness of his abode are questionable. He reported that he showered with bugs.
A clip now shows how Emiru ventures into the MMORPG streamer’s cave during a joint stream. The viewers seem impressed.
Find out more about Asmongold in our video:

Asmongold demands honesty: “Does the room smell bad?”
What is shown in the video? The clip shows Emiru appearing in full “Ronald McDonald” attire delivering food to Asmongold. Upon arrival, she first looks around and holds various objects up to the camera.
A plate with a rock-hard steak and something she cautiously identifies as potatoes kicks things off. She also finds little bowls that she “has no idea what’s going on with.” Asmongold explains that it is ice cream, which he had eaten 4 months ago.
Viewers in the MMORPG streamer’s chat are prompted to ask a question: “Does the room smell bad?” Asmongold demands from his colleague to be “100% honest,” and after a moment of contemplation, she provides the perfect response.
It depends. Okay, you know that smell of an old person’s home when they are dying and it’s really depressing? It smells a bit like that kind of house.
Asmongold notes that he probably has about a year left to live, to which Emiru clarifies that she didn’t mean it that way. After all, she does not smell rotting food, the Twitch streamer says. That is not a given, as we know thanks to xQc.

What do the viewers say? In the comments under the video, numerous viewers admire the Twitch streamer’s courage to venture into the depths of the MMORPG cave. We have gathered some reactions for you here:
killerm12: “My respect for Emiru has exponentially grown after she showed so much courage to enter that hellhole.”
CrystallizedSoul: “Holy moly, that convinces me that she is 100% immune to all existing diseases. How can a mortal set foot in Asmon’s house and not rot immediately?”
user-do2rq3oh4u: “I can’t believe she is solo clearing Asmongold’s cave using charisma. Those damn bards.”
TomAndrews91: “Emiru is a gem. She really tried not to say anything too harsh about his room. Although it might have been better if she had been brutally honest.”
It seems that Emiru has gained some new admirers with this action. Some may even dream of being with the Twitch streamer. How the 25-year-old handles this kind of fan attention, you can read here:

However, very few people know what the Japanese video game and console manufacturer did before that. And even fewer know the story that marks the beginning of Nintendo’s innovation in this area. To save a piece of this history, some people are willing to spend a lot of money.
What happened back then and why this still affects modern handheld devices and the games on them today can be read in this article.

A train ride had a big impact on Nintendo’s first handheld gaming console
Why was a train ride so significant for the history of video games? In 1979, Nintendo engineer Gunpei Yokoi was on a train within Japan. During the ride, he observed other passengers and noticed a man who seemed very bored. To pass the time during the journey, this passenger was playing with his calculator.
From this situation, Gunpei Yokoi got the idea for a portable mini-console in watch format. He wanted to develop something that would keep people playfully occupied while also serving as a pastime. The concept for the first mobile handheld Game & Watch from Nintendo originated from the combination of the terms “game” and “watch.”
How long did it take for the idea to be realized? After the Nintendo engineer presented his concept, it took only a week for Nintendo to give the green light for further development. Already a year later, in April 1980, the Japanese manufacturer of video games and consoles finally released the very first Game & Watch console featuring the game “Ball.” A small character juggled three balls between his hands at six preset positions.
The origin of Nintendo’s philosophy – innovation stands above technological progress
What kind of technology was in the Game & Watch handhelds? The LCD screens used by Nintendo for production were hardly different from the models found in watches and calculators of the time. The technology behind them was also kept simple, positioned just above the technological level of a calculator from that era.
As the development budget was also tight, the developers had to distinguish the handheld from other competitors through its design and the games themselves to be successful. The first models featured simple buttons to press. A few years later, Yokoi developed the still-used patent of the D-Pad and incorporated it into subsequent models of the Game & Watch. The good ergonomics for that time was an advantage over devices from other manufacturers.
The “button cell” batteries used could be easily and cheaply replaced. All of this allowed for affordable sale prices, making it possible for people with lower budgets to afford the console.
What models were there? From the birth of the first “Game & Watch” until 1991, a total of 56 models were produced. These sold over 43 million times by the end of production (via Wikipedia). Since each system had only one game available, changing games required buying a new device. However, not only did the games change with each new release.
The design was also adjusted over the years. Sometimes the screen format changed, and with the multi-screen series, there were also versions with two displays side by side. This careful development, in connection with games that were simple yet could still be challenging, was crucial for the success of the Game & Watch.
Why was Nintendo more successful than other companies? With simple game mechanics and highly addictive gameplay, Nintendo outperformed the competition. Other companies like Mattel also produced comparable game consoles at that time. Despite a technological advantage, they failed due to poor design, awkwardness, and bad game design.
Then and now – simple gaming fun remains Nintendo’s most important ingredient
Has Nintendo been able to preserve the original concept over the years? Yes, even though the Game & Watch consoles came to an end in 1991, the initial idea of simple entertainment as a pastime from Gunpei Yokoi continues to live on in Nintendo’s subsequent devices.
Already before their discontinuation, the Game Boy was released in 1989. A Game & Watch of superlatives, if you will. The developments of the Game Boy, the Nintendo DS with its various versions, and currently the Switch console all show the inspiration that began with the first Game & Watch handheld in 1980.
And all this is thanks to a bored passenger on a train, with his calculator as a pastime.
A player invested time, effort, and many attempts to save a people in Baldur’s Gate 3. But that proved to be anything but grateful and caused frustration for the player.
On Reddit, the user “Danica170” describes a situation from the third act in Baldur’s Gate 3 on October 18th. He encounters the NPC Barcus, whom he desperately wants to help. The player makes every effort to rescue the captured Gondians – including Wilbren and Barcus.
Spoiler warning: The article discusses a fight that a player experienced in the third act of Baldur’s Gate 3.
The unfortunate player wasted about two hours trying to rescue the Gondians before they turned against him over a trivial matter. If the name Barcus doesn’t ring a bell, it might be because of a little mishap with the NPC early in the game, just like I did .
Not only do NPCs sometimes metaphorically give the finger, but Baldur’s Gate 3 in general does too:

Middle finger to the AAA industry: Baldur’s Gate 3 was no coincidence
The oil caused a turn
Here’s how the rescue attempt went: In the post on Reddit, “Danica170” writes on October 18th that he has read how exhausting it is to save the Gondians in Baldur’s Gate 3. In his third run, he wanted to give it a try. “It can’t be that hard,” he thought. But then things turned out differently.
This is what “Danica170” has to say about it:
I’ve read many posts and comments about how […] saving them all is a huge nightmare. This is my third run, and honestly, I never really cared about the Gondians because I didn’t understand Barcus’ story.
But in this run, I tried to help Barcus because he is wonderful and deserves so much more. So I’m going to save all the Gondians. […] It should be fine.
It wasn’t fine at all. I attempted this fight at least 20 times before I finally managed to save them all. 20 attempts during which they teleported into explosions […]. Eventually, I ended the fight, and everyone survived. Great! Finally. That only cost me 2 hours.
And then this happens with the oil. The same oil that their leader summoned to save their poor butts. And then they all attack me.
I spent the last hours trying and failing to save [them], and this is how they thank me. Just because they slipped and fell.
I’m sorry for questioning all of you. I was wrong.
As of now (October 22, 4 PM), the post on Reddit has already garnered 4,500 upvotes and over 500 comments. The comment with the most upvotes comes from “clif08”. He writes: “I really want to see patch notes that fix this. Something like ‘Gondians are less likely to endanger themselves’ or ‘Significantly improved Gondian AI by turning off the AI.'”
Other players also seem annoyed by the behavior of the NPCs. The user “zane_asterious” writes: “I wish they wouldn’t do such nonsense. Please, for heaven’s sake, help me help you.” Others say that the Gondians seem to just enjoy suffering.
A player gives the helpful tip in the comments that you can throw small NPCs out of harm’s way using a strong character, like Karlach. That helped him to save the Gondians.
Other players also share helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3 with the community. Many of these, however, they only discovered after hundreds of hours of gameplay:
We show you 5 characters who have undergone a really strong transformation in World of Warcraft. Did you know about these drastic changes?
World of Warcraft is constantly changing. New continents keep emerging out of nowhere, and oversized threats try to destroy Azeroth, the timeline, existence itself, or the cycle of life and death. It is not surprising, therefore, that this does not leave the characters of this world unscathed.
We have created a list of the 5 characters who have changed the most over the course of World of Warcraft. Not much remains of their former personalities.
For this list, we only refer to characters that have significantly changed during the time of “World of Warcraft.” We compare their state at the earliest to “Vanilla” and at the latest to Dragonflight (if they are still alive).
Lady Jaina Proudmoore
Most people probably got to know Jaina Proudmoore during the times of Warcraft III – and at the start of World of Warcraft, she is still exactly the Jaina we encountered. She led the city-state of Theramore and was regarded as a diplomat and successful mediator between the Horde and the Alliance. She is even called to the Council of Six – making her one of the most powerful sorceresses of Azeroth and among the leadership elite of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran.
However, this changed significantly after Garrosh Hellscream became the warchief of the Horde. To diminish the presence of the Alliance in Kalimdor, he orders an attack on Jaina’s city – almost all the residents and even Jaina’s student die in the process.
For a while, Jaina becomes significantly more warlike. She threatens to destroy Orgrimmar with a flood and, after it turns out that some blood elves in Dalaran helped Garrosh, orders the cleansing of the city.
Jaina – from inquisitive student to one of the most powerful sorceresses.
Her hatred for the Horde only grows as Sylvanas comes to power. Jaina is on the front lines during the attack on the Undercity and even retrieves her father’s battleship from the depths of the sea.
In Kul Tiras (Battle for Azeroth), Jaina’s role changes again a bit. She becomes calmer and has to convince the entire nation of Kul Tiras that she did not kill her father back then. Even though we see a more emotional Jaina here, she remains relevant in the war. She fights against the troll king Rastakhan and stands in the way of the heroes of the Horde to buy time for the rest of the Alliance to escape.
Many still remember Anduin Wrynn from Vanilla, even though he had no major role at that time. He was already the child king of Stormwind, but his advisors held the real power – like Onyxia in the guise of Lady Prestor.
Anduin is freed from his passivity only when “Mists of Pandaria” takes him to Pandaria. There, he uses the powers of light and shadow to come into contact with the inhabitants of Pandaria. He falls into the hands of the Horde but manages to escape.
Later, he meets the still very young Wrathion and the two become good friends after some philosophical discussions – even if they do not always agree.
Anduin is completely torn from his childhood when his father Varian heroically sacrifices himself during the Legion’s attack. Anduin is thereby forced into the role of the king of Stormwind and has to leave much of his youth behind to fulfill this role. At first still hesitant and unconvincing, he must first overcome his father’s death.
By the time of Battle for Azeroth, this transformation is complete. Not much remains of the peace-loving Anduin, who always seeks the path without conflict. Although he tries to keep losses in the war to a minimum, he sees the war itself as necessary and fights bravely against the Horde. He is at the forefront during the conquest of the Undercity, but in the background directs events to support prisoners of war like Saurfang in their resistance against Sylvanas.
Anduin under the control of the Jailer.
In Shadowlands, Anduin’s role changes again. He is abducted, along with many leaders, to the Shadowlands and interrogated by Sylvanas. When Sylvanas fails to sway Anduin to her side, the Jailer and Sylvanas use domination runes and corresponding armor to overwrite Anduin’s will and make him a loyal servant of the Jailer.
After Anduin is freed by heroes of the Alliance and Horde, as well as Jaina, Uther, and the recently returned Sylvanas, he has changed. He cannot say for sure that he did not enjoy the atrocities under the control of the Jailer. To atone and find out who he really is, Anduin embarks on a journey. Some suspect he is in the Maw alongside Sylvanas.
We do not know his exact whereabouts – but Stormwind has been without its rightful king for several years and can only hope that the caring Anduin has not changed too much.

Hironobu Sakaguchi is considered the “father of Final Fantasy.” Although he has left Square Enix, he can’t let go of Final Fantasy 14. At the London Fan Fest, he spoke about his relationship with the MMORPG.
In London, the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival took place from October 21 to 22, 2023. There, a lot was revealed about the upcoming expansion Dawntrail. For example, the new job Viper was introduced, which aims to impress with lightning-fast attacks and massive damage.
On-site, there was also a discussion between Naoki Yoshida, the director of Final Fantasy 14, and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the series and an enthusiastic player of the MMORPG.

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail – Gameplay of the new job Viper
“As soon as I am in a raid, I cannot attend any meetings”
What did the “father of Final Fantasy” have to say? Sakaguchi, who has been playing the MMORPG since 2021, admitted that it had been a real time sink, especially in the first few months. “I think I was in it for 12 hours every day,” he explained through a translator.
The legendary developer added that Final Fantasy 14 had filled “about 80%” of his waking hours – 100% if he did not count the time for eating.
Sakaguchi documents his experiences in the MMORPG on X, formerly Twitter. Not only fans follow the adventures of the 60-year-old there, but also the development team of Final Fantasy 14, as Yoshida reported.
Although the expectations of the “father of Final Fantasy” were probably rather low at the beginning, he can hardly get away from the MMORPG 2 years later: “Now I can’t leave it. Final Fantasy 14 has become a part of my life.”
If Sakaguchi is not currently exploring Eorzea, he is also working as the founder and head of his own game development company, Mistwalker. However, he seems to squeeze in time for gaming in between. He joked, “As soon as I am in a raid, I cannot attend any meetings. “
It seems to have paid off because Sakaguchi had a surprise for Yoshida: proof of his first successful Ultimate Raid. These raids are considered the hardest content in the game, and the race for the “World First” is usually a big spectacle.
The creator of Final Fantasy wanted to master an Ultimate Raid before participating in the Fan Festival, and he achieved his goal 10 days before the event. He had a lot of fun, as he told Yoshida, and he wants to try further Ultimate Raids in the future.
Ibai Llanos Garatea is the largest European streamer on Twitch, where he mainly showcases Minecraft and League of Legends. In LoL, he also has his own team in the European league. However, things are currently uneasy there, which means a lot of work for the 28-year-old.
What kind of team is it? KOI is a Spanish e-sports organization founded in December 2021 by Ibai Llanos, the largest European Twitch streamer, and footballer Gerard Piqué. In October 2022, KOI teamed up with Rogue and took over their teams as well as their spot in the European LoL league, the LEC.
However, by the end of August 2023, financial difficulties became apparent. The Spanish-speaking blog Esportmaniacos reported that Ibai had paid 3 million euros out of his own pocket to cover the players’ salaries and the team’s gaming house.
Despite the efforts of the Twitch streamer, the players now seem to be looking for other teams.
In Europe, there are several LoL teams founded by content creators. In Germany, it is the YouTuber HandOfBlood who wants to lead his Eintracht Spandau into the LEC:

Ibai: ‘This is not healthy and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone’
What is the current situation? According to our colleagues at 3DJuegos, Ibai received the news while he was live on air commenting on the Worlds in LoL.
Four of the five active players on his LoL team posted nearly identical messages on X, formerly Twitter, at 12:00 on October 20, 2023: ‘Even though I am still in talks with KOI for next year, they have allowed me to explore options for 2024.’
The Twitch streamer apparently had no prior knowledge of this announcement. However, Ibai emphasized that nobody at KOI should stay who is not happy there. He doesn’t want that, said the Twitch streamer. ‘If a player wants to wait for our offer, […] then that’s great. If they don’t want to because they want to sign for another team, they naturally have every right to do so.’
Although it is not unusual for e-sports players to publicly announce their availability, the action of the KOI players is surprising in two respects. Not only was Ibai, as a co-founder, not informed of the plans beforehand, but the timing is also striking. After all, KOI is currently in the process of restructuring. However, it seems the players do not want to wait that long.
However, the Twitch streamer does not seem to be considering giving up his organization. He says he is working ‘literally 17 hours a day’ to turn things around for the organization next year. ‘This is not healthy and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, but I want to create the best possible project for 2024,’ says Ibai.
He strongly advises against copying him: ‘Please don’t take me as a role model for anything, because I know myself that what I’m doing [working so many hours] is not right.’
Ibai criticizes lack of professionalism in e-sports
Where does the Twitch streamer see the problem? For Ibai, the lack of professionalism in e-sports is the reason for the sudden announcement of his players. Players are surrounded by agents and representatives who are neither professional nor qualified for their job.
These agents would pressure the often young players to sign as quickly as possible and for as much money as possible with the first team they find, to collect their commission, said the Twitch streamer. ‘Unfortunately, this is the problem we have in e-sports, that we are in an ecosystem surrounded by very few professionals.’
It remains to be seen how things will progress for KOI, and whether they will need to set up a completely new roster for 2024.
In Starfield, the inventory is a topic that occupies many players. One of them has now fully loaded it and tested if he dies when moving with it. Spoiler: He didn’t get very far.
When overloaded, your oxygen in Starfield decreases, similar to stamina in other games. So if you run and jump for too long, you will first lose oxygen, then the CO₂ content in your suit’s air increases, and eventually, you will lose health. A player has tested how long he can walk around this way before something happens to him.
Another player now shows in a clip on Reddit what happens when you overload your inventory in Starfield not just a little, but burden it with weights in the millions.
In Starfield, there are a few helpful skills that allow you to improve not only your carrying capacity and oxygen but also your social skills:

Too much weight = death
What happened to the player? The user “FSFreeman” shows on October 21 in a video clip on Reddit that his inventory has a total weight of 14,146,884. The weight limit in Starfield is 245 in his case.
As he takes off running in the lodge’s basement, his character dies immediately. Here you can see the nearly 30-second video:

Regarding the video, “FSFreeman” says: “Apparently, I found a certain amount of weight that you can carry and which makes you no longer invincible. 14,146,884 weight, one step and you are immediately dead.”
In a comment, “FSFreeman” adds that he tested it again and found: “If you walk really slowly, you do not die.” For the entire action, he took a total of between 25 and 30 hours of gameplay.
To the question of whether the player found an exact weight limit, he replies: “Depending on the level and skills, the numbers would vary for each person. Those were just all my resources.” In another comment, he notes that he was surprised by the limit because he had “run around with weights far exceeding 2 million before and never died.” He thought it was impossible to die that way.
This is what other players say: Many users are impressed in their comments under the post on Reddit. Some of them respond with memes, while others discuss the animation of death.
We have summarized a few voices for you:
„Jaded-Huckleberry670“ says: “You should receive an award for discovering this: Pride of the Hoarder.”
„luxzg“ writes: “I just wish that in the death animation everything would be squashed into a pool of blood and nothing would be left.”
„doomguy699“ notes: “The brother literally collapsed under his own gravity.”
„WinterAd2942“ writes: “They call that the Mass Effect.”
Reddit is a platform where numerous players share funny or special moments from various games with the respective community.
One of them collects in a post the moments that players liked best in Starfield. For him, these are very special, random events in the role-playing game:

After the beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, many players have returned to MW2. A player notes on Reddit: The predecessor looks pretty bad in his eyes.
Currently, players of Call of Duty are making a comparison on Reddit between the beta of Modern Warfare 3 and last year’s predecessor, Modern Warfare 2. The user “Goldhawk_1” writes there: “Holy smokes, MW2 is totally bad in comparison.”
In the comments, the community is currently discussing the pros and cons of both shooters. Topics include skill-based matchmaking, movement, and sounds in the game.
Trailer for Call of Duty MW 3 shows a lobby in real life
“The bomb, no comparison to MW2”
Why can’t MW2 compete for the player? In his post from October 21st, “Goldhawk_1” writes in the subreddit for Modern Warfare 3 that he finds the predecessor “so much worse”. He wanted to play MW2 in the meantime until the release of MW3 and is glad that the successor will be released soon.
This is what he writes in the post:
The health regeneration takes [in MW2] an eternity.
Somehow everyone knows immediately where you are, maybe it has to do with the stomping noises of everyone’s boots, which are louder than the damn gunfire.
People actually complained about the hit detection in the MW3 beta, but in every single game of MW2 you die in one shot. And you have to shoot about six shots at the guy who shot at you before he even knew you were there.
In comparison, this is just incredible. The quality of the matches is not even close.
What other players say: In the comments, players are currently discussing the two titles of the shooter series. Many are looking forward to the release of MW3 and are cautiously optimistic. Others criticize a few aspects that they noticed during the beta.
We have summarized a few voices for you:
“oneonus” says: “Audio and visuals in MW3 are amazing, no comparison to MW2.”
“TSM-HabZ” writes: “I like both for different reasons because they are different games.”
“PopticParticlezz” says: “I enjoyed the movement in MW3 more.” To that, spideyjiri responds: “I liked that I could see something while shooting.”
“MozM” writes: “The only thing I literally hate about it is how ridiculously boring the sniper rifles look. I hope they change their designs immediately. A sniper should not look like an AK or an M4.”
“mydibz” writes: “Health regeneration? ‘Laughs in hardcore mode'”
“nicideadpool” comments: “We’ll see when the honeymoon phase is over.”
“It feels like moving back into your own apartment”
In another post on Reddit, the user “zipzoopu” asks on October 22nd how the gameplay in the MW3 beta compares to the predecessor MW2 for people who have played both.
These comparisons are drawn by the community: The user “AbbeRezz” comments: “The gameplay is generally [in MW3] better and faster, the weapon customization is extremely similar to MW2.” Another user writes: “10000% better, feels like CoD again.”
For “partyingwithcats”, MW3 feels like “moving back into your own apartment after living with roommates for a long time.”
“knightmare1434” finds the movements in MW3 smoother, and the weapon handling easier. “But that was in the beta and could change when the game comes out,” he writes. The weapon and hit sounds sound better to him in MW3. However, the SBMM is “crap” for him, as well as the spawn system.
CODninjarin writes: “The gameplay is fluid, it has much faster movements. The gunplay is a bit of an adjustment since the time-to-kill is longer, but that doesn’t bother me personally. Overall, it feels more ‘arcade’ compared to MW2. Reminds me of older CODs, but that could just be nostalgia.”
Speaking of nostalgia. On November 10th, MW3 will start with 16 classic maps from the 2009 Call of Duty – including voting. The well-known maps, many of which are favorites among players, evoke nostalgic feelings for fans of the series:
