A game about Star Wars once evaluated how players from different countries decide: Do they play for the Empire or for the Rebellion? When analyzing the statistics in the form of a world map, a clear separation between northern and southern countries is evident. The major outliers worldwide in either direction are Russia and Peru.
Where does the statistic come from?
The statistic comes from the mobile game “Star Wars: Commander”; which was released in August 2014 and ended in June 2020.
At the release of the game, it quickly gathered 5 million players. Lucas Games evaluated in September 2014 how the player base is distributed by country: Do more choose the Rebels (yellow) or more choose the Empire (blue).
This resulted in an exciting world map that stimulates discussions.
Video games about Star Wars are still popular and in demand today:

World map shows Russia on the side of the Empire – Peru as a rebel stronghold
What stands out on the map? We see a relatively clear division between the global north and the global south on the map:
The north tends to lean towards the Empire: As an outlier, one can see Russia, where almost 58% choose the Empire.
The counterpart to Russia are countries in South America and Africa, where at times over 60% choose the Rebels: Especially Peru with 62% and Angola with 66% stand out.
Where does Germany stand? In Germany, the distribution at the time of the survey was quite balanced: 53.7% chose the Empire. In Austria, 55.3% played on the side of Darth Vader.
Interestingly, Spain and France chose the Rebellion, so a dividing line goes directly through Europe.
What to note: One should not read too much into this statistic and assume that the blue countries are automatically “evil” because they sympathize more with Darth Vader than with Han Solo.
In some countries, it could also simply be that so few people participated that the results are strongly distorted: Otherwise, the 80% Empire in the Central African Republic would hardly be explainable.
It raises the question of whether the spread of smartphones, mobile games, and the love for Star Wars were distributed evenly worldwide, so that even in the more remote corners of the world enough people would register for a game to allow for reasonable statistics to be collected.
The world map provides no information about China – the game was not released there at that time.
Furthermore, the statistic is already a few years old: It is quite possible that things have shifted in Eastern Europe given the events in recent years.
For a long time, it has been requested, soon it will finally come true. We now know what will happen to the controversial CEO of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick.
The purchase of Activision Blizzard has taken significantly longer than originally planned. Now that various authorities from numerous nations are no longer obstructing the matter, it is confirmed: Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard and thus the developer of well-known games such as World of Warcraft or Diablo IV. But what does this mean for the current CEO Bobby Kotick?
What will happen to Kotick now? Now that the sale of Activision Blizzard is settled, CEO Phil Spencer has reached out to the staff in an email. It states that “Bobby Kotick will retain his role until the end of 2023” to facilitate the transition. He reports directly to Spencer and is expected to ensure that the merger of the two companies proceeds smoothly.
Kotick confirms this and explains: “I have long said that I feel committed to the transition. Phil has asked me to remain the CEO of ABK, to report to him, and we agreed that I will do this until the end of 2023. We both look forward to working together and a smooth integration for our teams and our players” (via kotaku).
In other words: From the end of 2023, Kotick will no longer be the CEO of Activision Blizzard.
Kotick has been seen as controversial in recent years.
Why is Kotick so controversial? Kotick has long had a bad reputation among players, but employees have also repeatedly spoken out against him. Especially during the large sexism and discrimination scandal that began in 2021, many accusations arose against Kotick. It was increasingly claimed that Kotick had knowledge of sexual assaults and harassment in the workplace but failed to report these incidents.
He was even so unpopular that nearly 1,000 employees participated in “walkouts” and gathered in front of the Blizzard campus to protest against their boss.
However, no resignation occurred back then. There was only the announcement that Kotick would still oversee the acquisition by Microsoft – exactly this will happen until the end of the year. After that, it is currently unclear whether Kotick will completely leave Activision Blizzard and Microsoft, although that seems likely.
At least the popular meme “Bobby needs a new yacht” when a Blizzard game introduces a new microtransaction will probably soon be history.
Whether much will change for the players and employees for the better remains to be seen.
In the cinema year 2023, there were mainly two major hits. Barbie and Oppenheimer dominated at the box office. However, with Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, another film was released that stood in the shadow of the competition. Nonetheless, it received positive reviews.
What is Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One about?
Tom Cruise embarks on a dangerous mission as IMF agent Ethan Hunt
Hunt must search for a key that is in the possession of the rogue MI6 agent Ilsa Faust
Behind the key lies a global threat from the entity that must not fall into the wrong hands
A high bounty is placed on Ilsa Faust, which means Hunt has to deal with several bounty hunters
The threat from artificial intelligence is a major theme in the film
We don’t want to spoil any more details about the story at this point, as the plot is one of the strengths of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One. At least, that’s what many critics say who have given a recommendation of 96% for the film on Rotten Tomatoes.
Even among the audience, the film can achieve a rating of 94%. Yet, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One fell short of expectations. In the cinema year 2023, it faced strong competition.
With the official trailer, you can get a glimpse of the action hit:

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One fell short of expectations
Although Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One used almost three times the budget that Barbie and Oppenheimer had available, it did not come close to the earnings of the two cinema blockbusters.
In direct comparison, you can see that Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One lagged behind its competition:
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One had a budget of 291 million US dollars (via deadline.com) and grossed 568 million US dollars (via boxofficemojo.com)
Oppenheimer had a budget of 100 million US dollars (via deadline.com) and achieved a gross revenue of 942 million US dollars (via boxofficemojo.com)
Barbie is the absolute front-runner: With a budget of 128 million US dollars (via deadline.com), the film was able to earn 1.4 billion dollars (via boxofficemojo.com)
Therefore, the earnings that Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One has achieved are likely to be quite disappointing for the production team. The film was not able to attract as many viewers as the competition.
If you are among those who haven’t seen the film and want to catch up, you now have the chance. Because recently, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One has been made available for sale by some streaming service providers.
To acquire the film for 16.99 or 17.99 euros, you have several options. You can secure the film digitally via streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, or in the Sky Store.
About a month after the digital release, the release on Blu-ray and DVD is supposed to take place. Fans can secure the film at retail starting November 2, 2023. Paramount+ will include the film in its programming at an unknown time.

You can now check for updates for installed games in the game library
What does the update bring? With the update, you can now check all your games in the library for updates, not just the games on your home screen. This saves you a few “clicks” and above all, some time.
Some users explain that the update must have been secretly deployed. Because there was no information about a system update and no other hints.
When will the update come? Hard to say. Some users are already using the feature, as they report on reddit. The colleagues from Pushsquare have apparently not yet received the update.
It is therefore quite possible that you will receive the update for your PS5 during the course of today. In the editorial office, the update has not yet been available on our PS5, but we will keep you updated should the update arrive for us.

In League of Legends, music plays a big role. Riot teased on Twitter that a boy band could be coming. MeinMMO reveals what’s behind it.
The music in League of Legends has become incredibly important for the game and the player base. The connection between music and LoL delights the community, whether through LoL bands like K/DA and True Damage or through world anthems like “Legends Never Die” (2017) and “Rise” (2018). This is reflected not only in the music but also in the corresponding skins.
The appreciation for these music projects goes beyond the game. A notable example is the music video Pop/Stars by K/DA featuring Madison Beer, which has garnered over 568 million views on YouTube .
However, while they have already presented a K-Pop girl band in the form of K/DA to the LoL community, there has been a lack of a band consisting only of male champions. It seems you won’t have to wait much longer. Riot teased a boy band in a recent Twitter post.
Here you can see the Twitter post by Riot:

Which champions belong to the boy band? Although Riot Games hasn’t officially announced anything yet, the teaser hints at which champions could receive a skin and become a member of the boy band.
In the notebook, you can see some crucial hints. It shows six enthusiastic male characters. On a Post-It, it says: wants to be a star, rockstar, with rockstar circled again with a pen. Also, the keyboard and the mug give hints about Aphelios, if you look closely.
Furthermore, SkinSpotlights has already written on Twitter which champions will be included and which prestige and legendary skins they could receive, including:
Kayn with a legendary skin
Yone (prestige)
Ezreal
Sett
K’Sante
Aphelios
Everything points to the fact that there could be one or more songs from the boy band – just as it was with K/DA and True Damage. However, it is still unknown which musicians Riot would collaborate with.
For the new Worlds anthem Gods, Riot collaborated with the K-Pop band NewJeans, here you can see the video:

Players are excited about a boy band
How are players reacting? On Twitter, numerous players expressed their excitement about the boy band teaser – as if the LoL community has been eagerly awaiting this musical revelation. We have compiled some reactions for you:
Hibahria writes (via Twitter): Sett, Ksante, Aphelios. I can’t recognize the others though. As a rock band would be really cool.
TeamXDynasty emphasizes: I can’t wait to see the champions and can’t wait to see who will voice the boy band!
sorrowtalks expresses anticipation: This feels so surreal??? I can’t believe it.
There are also critical voices. The user Ezraneth thinks (via Twitter): Please replace K’Sante with someone else, anyone, and yes, even Teemo would be better.
While Riot Games has not yet released any official confirmation, the teaser suggests that the boy band skins and the associated music will be an exciting and unforgettable addition to League of Legends.
What do you think of a boy band in LoL? How do you feel about the line-up? Would you like to see other champions in the band? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
In World of Warcraft it is currently boring. This is not only what the streamer Bellular thinks, but also the community.
World of Warcraft is currently in a rather strange situation. The MMORPG from Blizzard is receiving new content faster than ever before in the history of the game. The raids are fun, Mythic+ is challenging, and there is generally almost always something to do if you are open to many different contents. And yet, within the community, there is the opinion: World of Warcraft is currently boring.
At the core of this is the story of Dragonflight. It is “okay”, but not much more. It is more down-to-earth than Shadowlands, but not particularly exciting.

WoW: New cinematic shows why night elves have to worry about their home again
Who is speaking? The analysis comes from streamer and YouTuber Bellular. He has been known in the WoW community for years. He analyzes the numbers around the game, such as active player counts in various contents, but also provides well-thought-out analyses of upcoming expansions or developments in the game’s story.
What did he say? Bellular believes that Blizzard has forgotten what moments make the story of World of Warcraft so interesting. They are heroic, exciting, and sometimes a bit cliché-ridden hero moments, in which larger-than-life characters engage in thrilling battles and even make sacrifices.
A modern, positive example is the quest line for the undead’s traditional armor. Here, you almost live the “Forsaken fantasy” – alongside the cool Lillian Voss, who fights against the Scarlet Crusade with full hatred and leads the undead to victory.
In stark contrast to this is the quest line of the Night Elves, where the legendary heroine Maiev is overshadowed by a young Night Elf apprentice – something that has dissatisfied many Night Elf fans.

However, fundamentally, WoW currently lacks “heroism” – throughout the entire expansion, there are no particularly exciting events in the main story that are filled with something comparable. While sacrifices have been made, such as Malfurion, who must stay in Ardenweald, or Ysera, who passes her powers to Merithra, this has little to do with heroism.
When was it better? Bellular conducted a survey in his community to find the best story moments from World of Warcraft. In response, he almost always received scenes that are considered particularly “heroic” and usually associated with a sacrifice.
One of them is, for example, the death of Varian Wrynn at the start of “Legion”. The king of the Alliance knowingly jumps into his own demise to give the Alliance time to escape. He is not intimidated by Gul’dan and fights his last battle – heroically, even if it ends in his death.
Even Illidan, who many found “cringe” when he shouted “I am my scars!”, seems significantly more impressive now.
World of Warcraft has been criticized for many years for not having a deep story, but often only many “cool moments” at a fast pace. Now that the developers have tried to do the opposite, it has become clear: these cool moments were actually more important to the game than many critics initially wanted to believe.

A gamer buys a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, but it doesn’t work. A YouTuber takes apart the graphics card and finds the culprit.
Now and then, people get very lucky when they can buy a very fast graphics card for little money. But often these cheap deals also have a catch. This is what a user found out when he bought a GeForce RTX 4090 from Nvidia from a second-hand dealer. The graphics card wouldn’t start. However, a well-known tech YouTuber was able to help him.

The owner of the graphics card mentioned that he had bought the RTX 4090 “brand new” at a second-hand shop. However, the graphics card was not functioning. At least the fans of the graphics card spun at maximum speed when connected to a system. But it did not output any image.
What was the error? The tech YouTuber began to disassemble the entire graphics card in his video. But at first glance, the graphics card was in excellent condition. The circuit board looked undamaged and the removed fans were fine too.
In a further step, NothWestRepair decided to remove the graphics chip from the board. And here the culprit appeared, as the YouTuber found a dead, winged insect.
This insect likely interfered with some contacts of the GPU and caused the graphics card to be unable to display an image.
Is the graphics card working again? Yes, the RTX 4090 is now working perfectly again. At the end of his video, the YouTuber shows how he tests the RTX 4090 in a benchmark program and the model works perfectly.
More about graphics cards: Other people, on the other hand, are very lucky when they want to buy new hardware. A German managed to snag a very good graphics card because someone else wanted to get rid of it quickly:
In the following overview, you will see all Spotlight Hours in October 2023 in Pokémon GO. Here we show you all the information about the Pokémon, Shinies, bonuses, and the respective dates of the events.
What events are there? Every Tuesday, Pokémon GO holds a one-hour event where a pre-selected monster spawns more frequently in the wild. This event is referred to as a Spotlight Hour.
Also in October, you can look forward to 5 such events, accompanied by changing bonuses. Below, we have summarized exactly what content you can expect.
All dates of the Spotlight Hours in October 2023
When do the Spotlight Hours take place? The Spotlight Hours run every Tuesday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The following Pokémon and bonuses await you in October:
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? For the first Spotlight Hour in October, you can encounter the Water and Psychic Pokémon Slowpoke. It comes from the first generation and has two different evolutions, Lanturn and Gyarados. Lanturn also has a temporary Mega Evolution.
Moreover, Slowpoke has a Galar form, which will not be available during the short event.
What bonuses are active? In addition to numerous Slowpoke spawns, you can expect double candies for transferring Pokémon on this day. We recommend sorting your monsters with the help of tags and filters in the game before the event starts to make sure you only have to transfer them during the Spotlight Hour.
Is the event worth it? Slowpoke and its evolutions are not particularly strong and cannot really impress in raids or the GO Battle League. The Mega Evolution of Lanturn is the most interesting aspect here, as it increases your Psychic and Water attacks in battle and provides more candies when capturing these types when active.
If you also want to clean out your Pokémon storage, it’s a good day to do so and take advantage of the candy bonus.
Can you catch Shiny Slowpoke? Yes, Slowpoke can be caught as a Shiny with a bit of luck. You can recognize it by its slightly lighter body.
Spotlight Hour on October 10
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? The Grass Pokémon Spritzee will make its debut during the Spotlight Hour on October 10. It comes from the 3rd generation of games and can evolve into Aromatisse.
What bonuses are active? The Spritzee will also spawn everywhere in the short event. Additionally, you get an XP bonus. If you evolve monsters during the event, you will receive double experience points.
Is the event worth it? Yes, although Spritzee itself is not particularly strong, it has a very strong evolution in Aromatisse. The Grass Pokémon has a high attack and good moves, making it one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Furthermore, Spritzee is among the 22 monsters that give you more Stardust when caught. You can get 500 Stardust for a normal catch. If you use a Star Piece and a weather boost is active, you can receive up to 938 Stardust per catch. So if you need Stardust or are looking for a strong attacker for raids, you should take advantage of the event.
Can you catch Shiny Spritzee? Yes, Shiny Spritzee is active in the game and can be caught with some luck. In this form, its points are orange.
Spotlight Hour on October 17
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? On October 17, the spooky season begins with Gourgeist. This Ghost and Grass Pokémon comes from the 6th generation of games and can evolve into Pumpkaboo.
What bonuses are active? During the event, you can encounter lots of Gourgeist. Additionally, you will receive double Stardust when catching.
Is the event worth it? Gourgeist and its evolution are not particularly strong. There are much better attackers among both Ghost and Grass Pokémon. Therefore, the event is mainly worth it because of the double Stardust when catching.
Can you catch Shiny Gourgeist? Yes, if you’re lucky, you might encounter a shiny purple Gourgeist.
Spotlight Hour on October 24
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? In the second to last Spotlight Hour in October, things stay spooky with Paragoni, the counterpart to Gourgeist. It also comes from the 6th generation of games, is a Ghost and Grass Pokémon, and can evolve into Trombork.
What bonuses are active? Along with numerous wild spawns of Paragoni, you will receive double XP for catching Pokémon during this event.
Is the event worth it? Paragoni itself is not very interesting. However, its evolution Trombork can be quite formidable in both raids and the GO Battle League. According to PvPoke, it consistently ranks solidly in both the Super and Hyper Leagues. With a good attack value and its moveset, it is also one of the best Ghost attackers in Pokémon GO.
Which Pokémon is in the spotlight? In the last Spotlight Hour in October, you will encounter the Ghost Pokémon Makabaja from the 5th generation of games. It can evolve into Echnatol.
What bonuses are active? During this event, you can expect plenty of wild Makabaja. Additionally, you can receive double candies when catching monsters.
Is the event worth it? Makabaja is particularly interesting for the GO Battle League. Echnatol has strong defensive values, allowing it to shine in both the Super and Master Leagues. If you don’t need Makabaja, you can also activate the Wonder Box or complete raids to take advantage of the candy bonus.
Can you catch Shiny Makabaja? Yes, Makabaja is active in the game as Shiny. With a bit of luck, you may encounter a specimen with a blue body and silver mask.
Which Spotlight Hour do you like best in October? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers.

If you like it explosive, create many corpses with Decompose and Blood Mist and then let them explode
If you prefer to let an army of skeletons fight, you can generate them with Decompose and Blood Mist and heal yourself with Blood Surge while supporting your army with DPS from a safe distance
Either way, you will never have to worry about having too few corpses in battle, as you can endlessly generate them with or without enemies.

Level Build for the Druid – Skills and Tips
The best skills for leveling: We have chosen a companion/storm strike build for the Druid. With these two components, you deal massive damage and benefit from your ghostly nature allies. You will need the following talents:
Storm Strike – Level 1
Enhanced Storm Strike
Grim Storm Strike
Cyclone Armor – Level 5
Enhanced Cyclone Armor
Preserving Cyclone Armor
Blood Howl – Level 5
Enhanced Blood Howl
Preserving Blood Howl

Wolves – Level 5
Enhanced Wolf Pack
Brutal Wolf Pack
Crows – Level 1
Enhanced Crows
Brutal Crows
Call of the Wild – Level 3
Gameplay Tips: The Druid is somewhat more complex but strong when you know how to master him. Consider the following rotations:
You activate Storm Strike on your enemies
Now you use your Cyclone Armor
In boss fights:
You activate your Wolves and Crows
Now comes your Blood Howl
After you have attacked everything on cooldown, you continue with Storm Strike. After it runs out, you repeat everything
In enemy groups:
You activate your Poison Vines
You call your Wolves and Crows
You use your Blood Howl
After you have attacked everything on cooldown, you continue with Storm Strike. After it runs out, you repeat everything
The most important thing you need to know is that you are essentially playing two builds in one. Wolves and Crows deal good damage but are more worthwhile with their focused attacks against bosses or tough single enemies.
If you face multiple enemies in the dungeon, the Poison Vines are the best option. They poison your enemies, immobilize them, and even increase your critical hit chance. Additionally, you can send your animals if you have enough energy ready.
Cyclone Armor and Blood Howl are strong defensive talents that provide you with protection, deal damage, or even grant life if you are about to die.

At the same time, a small town named Sleepy Hollow is in a state of fear. Three headless corpses have been found. The residents believe that the headless horseman, who is supposed to be searching for his own head to find redemption, is the murderer. Ichabod does not believe in such ghost stories and wants to find the true murderer using science. But with his methods, he soon reaches his limits.

When he investigates the murders of prostitutes in the London district of Whitechapel, one of these visions leads him onto the trail of the notorious murderer Jack the Ripper. This killer follows an obvious pattern and kills his victims with extreme precision.
The murdered women are from the immediate environment of the prostitute Mary, whose secret could lead to disaster for many high-ranking individuals.
Corpse Bride – Wedding with a Corpse
Release Year: 2005 | Age Rating: from 6 years | Director: Tim Burton, Mike Johnson | Length: 76 minutes
Start video
Corpse Bride Trailer
In Corpse Bride, the main character Victor van Dort was not only designed based on Johnny Depp. The actor also lent his English voice to the thin man.
After the agreement of their two families, Victor is to marry the beautiful Victoria Everglot. Nervously, the two get to know each other, and for both, it seems to be love at first sight. But on the day of the wedding rehearsal, Victor simply cannot recite the vow flawlessly.
Desperately, he runs into the adjacent forest and wants to practice in peace. In doing so, he accidentally places the ring on the bony finger of the dead bride Emily, who was murdered by her lover. She insists on being Victor’s rightful wife and takes him to the underworld. Now Victor faces a decision, as Victoria’s life is suddenly in danger.
What makes Corpse Bride a truly beautiful film is not only a touching story but also the stop-motion technique that was used.

Start video
The Secret Window Trailer
In this thriller, Johnny Depp takes on the role of author Mort Rainey.

However, no matter how hard he tries to obtain a copy of the book, he fails repeatedly in inexplicable ways. Thus, the accusation that he initially thought was a joke increasingly becomes a reality for the author and drives him to despair.
As a small warning for all those who have a heart for dogs, this film contains a scene that might be difficult for you to bear.

Start video
Sweeney Todd Trailer
In this adaptation of the namesake Broadway musical, Johnny Depp plays barber Benjamin Barker, who returns to London under the new name Sweeney Todd.
Many years ago, the young barber lived with his wife and baby in London until the jealous Judge Turpin set his sights on his beautiful wife. He had Benjamin Barker arrested and wrongfully imprisoned to get to her.
Back from exile, he learns that his wife was abused by Turpin and subsequently took arsenic to end her suffering. Todd decides to take revenge for this and receives support from the woman who has since opened a snack shop in his old barber shop. It quickly becomes clear that he can help her in return with his knives. After all, getting meat for her pastries is very difficult in those times.
A little fun fact about the film: Director Tim Burton was convinced from the very beginning to cast Johnny for the title role. He did not allow another candidate. When his team asked whether Johnny could even sing, he said he didn’t know. The team was very nervous but discussion was pointless. Whether Johnny ultimately managed to convince with his singing, you can decide after the film.

But the journey poses more dangers than the rational scientist ever thought possible. Again and again he is misled by mysterious and inexplicable incidents. In addition, he encounters a mysterious young woman who seems to predict every one of his steps.

Among the fans of One Piece are not only kindergarten teachers, office workers, and doctors but also athletes. Many top athletes who have even participated in the Olympic Games have been inspired by Luffy and his friends. They motivate themselves before and after competitions with poses from the anime.
The anime for One Piece has been on everyone’s lips for weeks. Luffy has finally awakened his Gear 5, and thanks to the Netflix series, the franchise has gained some new fans. However, even before these events, One Piece was highly regarded by many athletes.
In the following list, we present five different poses that athletes have used for motivation before their upcoming competitions or as victory poses.
Olympic athlete imitates Franky’s super pose
The cyborg Franky is known for using the word “super” very often. When the Straw Hat Crew meets Franky, he introduces himself to them lightly dressed in this pose, where he clasps his arms together to create a star shape with the drawing on his arms.
This pose has been used by Payton Otterdahl to motivate himself during the Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo. He is an athlete specializing in shot put and likely has arms as thick as Franky’s.
Unfortunately, Otterdahl could only manage a 10th place with the pose. You can see his super pose in the following video on YouTube:

At the same Olympic Games, there was another athlete who identified himself as a fan of One Piece. Miltiadis Tentoglou specializes in long jump and triple jump and even won a gold medal at the Olympic Games.
When the Greek came out for his introduction, he clenched his fist and placed it on the ground, bending slightly at the knees. As he revealed in a later interview, this was a reference to Luffy’s Gear 2.
The video shows both the interview and Tentoglou’s pose:

This is a technique Luffy uses to perform pump movements to increase his blood pressure. This vastly increases his speed and strength. Apparently, the pose also worked for the Olympic champion, giving him strength in his legs.
Gear 3 also makes an appearance
The Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo were apparently full of athletes who love One Piece. There is indeed a third athlete who has made headlines with his victory pose.
The Italian walker Massimo Stano also won a gold medal, like Tentoglou. However, just before crossing the finish line, he shows not Luffy’s Gear 2 but rather his more pronounced Gear 3.
The following video shows what that looks like on YouTube:

It looks like Stano is about to bite his finger. Luffy uses the same technique to inflate the bones in his hand, creating a gigantic fist. Luffy’s attacks become slightly slower due to the technique, but it seems to have made Stano faster.
His victory pose caused such a stir that even the team from One Piece thanked him on Instagram, as seen in the video.
Gear 5 comes from no stranger
The Greek Miltiadis Tentoglou did not miss the opportunity to use another pose from Luffy at a different competition. In August of this year, he won the gold medal at the World Championships in Budapest. Does his success have anything to do with One Piece?
With Gear 5, Luffy has reached the highest level of his power. This ability defies the laws of physics. Luffy can change his body size at will and turn his environment into rubber. This allows him, for example, to catch lightning or use it as a pole for dodging.
One Piece has also become a trend among athletes in Germany. BVB professional Julian Brandt imitated a pose during a football match, this time not from Luffy but from his rival Trafalgar Law.
Law has the ability to create a space that he can control at will. To do this, he must create a dome by spreading his hand and leaning towards the ground. With his other hand, he can swap places, which Julian Brandt would have liked to do with the football and the goalkeeper.
His shot led to a 2:0 victory for his team. A fan took the effort to create a video in which Julian Brandt is animated as Law:

Brandt’s love for One Piece has not gone unnoticed. He has now even been allowed to visit the dubbing studios in Germany responsible for the anime’s synchronization. Brandt will have a small role in the anime and voice a character (via YouTube).
In addition to the examples mentioned, there are several other athletes who are big fans of the anime and have been inspired by One Piece for their poses. The fact that some of the poses were seen during the Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo could be due to the anime’s origins in Japan.
One Piece has made guest appearances not only in the world of athletes but also in other anime and animated series:
The 80s were full of muscular film heroes who fearlessly faced every enemy and often defeated them with brute force, but also conveyed a certain kind of charm and sympathy. Those missing this type of film can find it these days in Korea, and The Roundup is the best example of it.
What is The Roundup about? Ma Seok-do is the deputy head of the serious crimes department at the Geumcheon police station and is investigating in Vietnam at the beginning of the film because Koreans have been disappearing there regularly while on vacation or business trips.
Soon he and his team discover that there is a serial killer. However, he manages to escape to South Korea. Now it is up to Ma Seok-do and his team to find and stop the serial killer.
For those who are into Korean action, you can also check out these series:
Ma Seok-do is played by Ma Dong-seok, whom many probably know from his supporting role in Train to Busan, where he became a fan favorite due to his physique and heroic actions. And in The Roundup, he is the big star. His physical presence and disrespectful behavior convey exactly the coolness that many heroes from the past exuded.
Also, Ma’s ideals are as simple as they are effective. He just wants to do his job and protect people. Climbing the career ladder does not matter to him, and he has no personal backstory with his antagonist.
At the same time, the character also conveys a certain charm. Especially when he discusses with his boss Jeon Il-man, because he should actually have kept a low profile. At the same time, he also cares about his team, which consists of many young investigators. The dynamics of the entire team become particularly evident in the overly cramped office.
Just through his presence, every fight is elevated, and when he delivers slaps and punches, it is always powerfully staged. These are not fight scenes like in The Raid, but rather like in Bud Spencer films. With his strength and physique, every hit resonates and captivates the viewer.
There are also interesting locations such as an underground garage or the grand finale on a bus. Due to the shooting locations in Korea, many of the shown locations are a good mix of dark corners of the city and modern buildings, like a shopping mall. The scenes are also explicit and push the age rating of 16 quite well.
Where can you watch the film? If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can watch the film there in German. Otherwise, there are physical releases and purchasable streaming options on Amazon and Apple TV.
For those who crave good action in the style of the 80s, it is definitely worth watching The Roundup. So far, there is a quasi-sequel with the film “The Outlaws” and a proper sequel called “The Roundup: No Way Out,” which will be released in December.
For those who want to dive deeper into Korean cinema, this list contains some films:
An expert says that if you want to extend the lifespan of your battery, you should never charge your phones overnight.There’s a simple reason for that.
Many users know this. At the end of the day, the phone is plugged into the charger so that you can start the next morning with 100%. Or you grab a power bank to charge the phone.
Ritesh Chugh, associate professor of information and communication technology at CQ University Australia, recently explained in an interview with The Conversation.
The battery is put under much more strain at night than when you charge your phone for a short time
Why shouldn’t you charge your phone at night? “Most of the new generation smartphones take between 30 minutes and two hours to fully charge,” says Ritesh Chugh.
Therefore, it is not only unnecessary to charge the phone overnight, but it also accelerates the aging of the battery.
If charging overnight, this would mean that the battery is charged four times longer than needed, as it stays plugged in for six to eight hours. This would also chemically degrade the lithium-ion battery found in every modern phone.
Additionally, there is another problem. Because your phone also runs apps at night that put strain on the battery. The battery is repeatedly drained to 99% and then charged again: “This trickle charge can wear out a battery over time. That’s why many manufacturers have features to manage this function,” Chugh explained.
Therefore, some manufacturers, such as Samsung and Apple, incorporate measures to prevent excessive charging. Charging is significantly slowed down from 80 or 85%.
By the way, it is just as harmful if you let your battery run completely empty. This also puts strain on your battery.
What other tip does he have? Another problem for your phone’s battery is the dirt in the charging port of the phone. “Crumbs and dust are the enemies of your mobile devices and battery life,” he added.
Dust collects in the phone’s charging ports and can cause the device to overheat or not charge. Therefore, you should either protect the port or at least clean it regularly.
Are you still looking for series to watch during Halloween? Then we have just the right thing for you. We show you 10 series on Netflix that can scare you more or less.
How was the list created?
All series are available on Netflix. However, keep in mind that the program may change over time. So quickly add the titles to your watchlist and check them out.
The order of the series is random and has no significance.
They are not exclusively horror series, but also series that simply create a spooky atmosphere.
Whether you really get scared or not depends on many different factors – this is thus our assessment. To find out if a series is something for you, or if it is too scary, a trailer can be a good hint.

German trailer for season 1 of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a US series by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Riverdale). Many assume that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is an adaptation of the 90s sitcom Sabrina – The Teenage Witch. However, that is not true, as it is based on the comic book series of the same name published in 2014.
It is a coming-of-age story with a touch of horror, told by the teenager Sabrina Spellman. Sabrina tries to find her way in her predestined life as a witch – with the help of her two aunts, the friendly Hilda, the strict Zelda, and her mischievous cousin Ambrose. Although the series sometimes seems a bit cheesy, the themes and events are quite intense and spooky.
By the way, with the fourth season, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has reached its end. The finale is said to be “devastating,” say our colleagues from Moviepilot.
