The Vault Edition offers you an additional operator pack as well as the battle pass for Season 1 with 30 level jumps. PS players receive an additional 5 levels as well. Also, there are 2 weapon vaults included. Where you can pre-order the game in the various editions, you can see in our pre-order overview for Modern Warfare 3.

Starfield: Player finds the perfect place if you want to fill your pockets with loot and smuggled goods

A player has found a location in Starfield that he describes as “the best location hardly anyone talks about” because there is a ton of loot and contraband there.

Starfield offers a ton of fascinating places to discover. Some of them offer interesting side quests with battles in zero gravity, while others are just very visually appealing. In any case, players can spend hours traveling through the galaxy and discovering various locations.

A player has now discovered a location that you should definitely visit if you want to pack a lot of loot and contraband, describing it as “the best location hardly anyone talks about (via Reddit)”.

Mercenary Hideout Becomes Loot Paradise

What kind of place is this? The place that the player describes on Reddit is the “Vulture’s Nest.” It is an outpost on the planet Jaffa IV in the Jaffa system of the same name.

The “Vulture’s Nest” is also a sort of headquarters for the Ecliptic mercenaries, whom you will encounter repeatedly throughout the game. They are usually heavily armed and ready for shootouts – this also applies if you should enter their base uninvited.

Once you enter the “Vulture’s Nest,” you will shoot your way through numerous Ecliptic mercenaries to reach the loot. Besides a ton of weapons, you can primarily collect some credits and contraband here. You can sell contraband in the Wolf system.

Among the contraband you can find in the “Vulture’s Nest” are stolen art, several AI consciousness adapters, harvested organs, and black market antiques – all in multiple quantities.

Additionally, you can find a spaceship there that you can claim as your own.

Prepare Before Visiting the Vulture’s Nest

What should you keep in mind before flying to this location? You should especially be prepared for a long fight. Pack plenty of ammunition and medipacks.

In addition, you should empty your inventory so that you can carry a lot of loot and are not overloaded from the very first meters. Also, empty the inventory of your active companion so that you can fill them with loot if you’ve already reached your carrying limit.

Very important: Pack plenty of Digidietrichs, as you will need to pick locks.

Fantasy film has a lavish million-dollar budget, state-of-the-art technology, and high-profile actors – Yet hardly anyone remembers it

In 2007, one of the first films to utilize motion capture technology was Beowulf. However, although the film sounded promising in every respect, it did not meet the expectations of the production team.

What is Beowulf about?

  • The Danes are terrorized by the monster Grendel, which resembles a decaying corpse
  • Hrothgar is the King of the Danes and promises half of his treasure to anyone who can slay the monster
  • The warrior Beowulf attempts to kill Grendel
  • Grendel is defeated by Beowulf and dies in the arms of his mother, who subsequently kills many of Beowulf’s companions
  • Beowulf is now tasked with killing Grendel’s mother

We don’t want to spoil the rest of the story for you because there are many unforeseen twists ahead. The story sounds very promising.

The film features numerous actors who have been established in the Hollywood business for a long time. For example, Anthony Hopkins plays the Danish king, and Angelina Jolie appears as Grendel’s mother in the film.

The lead actor Ray Winston is also no stranger and has appeared in various films and series since 1976.

Beowulf was one of the first films to use motion capture technology. This technique records the movements and facial animations of individuals and transforms them into computer animation. Before Beowulf, The Polar Express and Monster House had already utilized this technology.

In the trailer for Beowulf, uploaded to YouTube by Tom Trailer, you can see how this technology is noticeable:

Beowulf fell short of expectations

Both The Polar Express from 2004 and Beowulf (2007) were directed by Robert Zemeckis. Both films utilized motion capture technology and had similar budgets of $150 and $165 million (via boxofficemojo.com, (1) (2)).

The Polar Express achieved a box office gross of $305 million (via moviejones.de). The director likely wanted to build on this success, but Beowulf fell short of expectations, grossing only $196 million (via moviejones.de).

The film received a lukewarm reception from audiences. On IMDb, the film is rated 6.3 out of 10, and on Rotten Tomatoes, it even scores only 50 out of 100 percent.

If you still want to give Beowulf a chance, you will have to buy or rent the film. Currently, it is not available on any major platforms in Germany. You can buy Beowulf from platforms like Amazon or Apple TV.

Moreover, there are numerous films that fell short of expectations. Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger also had to deal with several flops that he has not yet managed to overcome:

Diablo 4 could make your strongest builds useless in Season 2, so you finally play something else

Season 2 is just around the corner in Diablo 4, along with a long list of changes that players will have to deal with. One item on the list was the same builds and damage buckets you had used. Blizzard wants you to give other builds a chance.

What needed to be changed? Blizzard took your feedback to heart and distributed buffs for each class. While some overly strong builds for necromancers, druids, and barbarians had to be nerfed, especially weaker classes are enjoying a boost that makes them more powerful.

However, the problem with the builds was more about two damage buckets that, when used correctly, resulted in absurdly high damage numbers. This refers to critical and vulnerable damage. These were so powerful in combination in most builds that they could even destroy bosses like Uber-Lilith with just a few hits when using the right build.

To ensure that players do not get stuck on two values and also give other builds a chance, these have been adjusted.

Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

Diversity is the new motto in Diablo 4

What does the change look like? Since both buckets were far too powerful, they have been modified. They are now added together. The damage caused by one of these values will still be multiplied. For critical hits, that’s 50 % and for vulnerable hits, 20 %. Overall, the damage will no longer be absurdly increased but will reach its cap at 80 %.

This is to ensure that you also give other builds a chance and do not rely solely on builds that focus only on these two damage values. Blizzard’s goal is not to make you weaker, but rather to open your eyes and focus on the core values of each build to create something strong.

Will opponents also be adjusted? Blizzard also plans to adjust the opponents in certain ways. Especially bosses like Uber-Lilith, which could only be defeated with a broken build, will be adjusted so that anyone with a reasonable build can defeat them if they put in enough effort.

Additionally, uniques and equipment, as well as the Paragon system, will become more powerful to close the gap of power that you are missing. However, you will only feel these changes on October 17th when Update 1.2.0 is released.

Do you think it’s good that Blizzard wants to bring more diversity to Diablo 4? Or do you already miss your overpowered builds? Let us know in the comments!

Activision games are coming to Game Pass, but two important titles are missing

After months of court hearings, the Activision Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft is now finalized. When thinking of Microsoft today, the Game Pass is one of the central elements. Activision commented on their lineup and the subscription service now on Twitter.

When is the deal between Microsoft and Activision finalized?

It is precisely about these brands and games that many players think when they consider Microsoft’s Game Pass and whether Activision games will also be included. Activision itself recently commented on the Game Pass and the future of it on Twitter.

Even without Activision, you can play great games on the Game Pass. This also includes Starfield from Bethesda:

According to the tweet, Activision will start releasing their titles in the Game Pass next year. However, it is not mentioned whether these will be old or new titles. A disappointment for many will be that neither Diablo 4 nor the new Modern Warfare 3 are planned for a release in this year’s subscription service. A Game Pass release of both titles next year, however, is not impossible.

Moreover, outside of that, Activision Blizzard has several game series to offer. These include Crash Bandicoot, Starcraft, and World of Warcraft. Older entries from the Diablo and Call of Duty series could also be added.

When we can expect games or information about them is not known. However, when acquiring Bethesda, Microsoft also announced many of their titles for the Game Pass beforehand. The lineup of Activision Blizzard definitely offers great potential for the subscription service.

Which games would you like to see in the Game Pass? Let us know in the comments.

Amazon offers a huge television as a Prime Deal for only 300 Euros – But is it worth it?

With the Fire TV Omni QLED Series, Amazon introduced a range of affordable 4K TVs. But are the models worth it, which are currently on sale?

A few months ago, Amazon introduced a series of new 4K TVs with smart features under the “Fire TV Omni QLED Series”. Amazon aims to offer a lot of interesting features for little money. At first glance, the functions of the series also sound promising:

  • 4K Quantum Dot Display (QLED)
  • Features like Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive for better contrasts and colors.
  • Adaptive brightness, here a sensor should adjust the brightness of movies and series to the room lighting.
  • Additionally, all known Amazon features such as streaming or Alexa are integrated in the device itself.

Thanks to Prime Day, you can now get the models at a really good price. For the cheapest model at 43 inches, you currently pay “only” 349.99 euros, saving 42% compared to the MSRP of 599.99. You haven’t seen the model much cheaper, but it’s only offered exclusively through Amazon.

But is it worth it?

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

Good picture quality, but savings are made in many areas

How is the model rated? Some testers have already had a closer look at the new TVs.

The colleagues from Techstage tried one of the models and explain in their test that one gets a smart TV with convincing picture quality and rich colors – if one takes the time and makes the right settings. Criticism is mainly directed at the comparatively low brightness and the strongly reflective display.

The testers from rtings see it similarly: they also attest the models excellent colors and great contrast. The device even offers some gaming features, which are, however, severely restricted: the display only offers 60 Hz and HDMI 2.1 is also not supported.

Also, the colleagues from Hifi.de explain that they receive an entry-level device with surprisingly good gaming qualities. Criticism also comes for the brightness and weak sound. But at least you can compensate for the latter with a good sound system.

Are the affordable TVs worth it? It really depends on what you expect from a TV. If you overlook the reflective display and the low maximum brightness, you get a decent overall package of good picture quality and other features. However, you will definitely have to make compromises.

However, you should not expect the same quality as if you were buying a model for 1,500 euros. For your PS5, there are also better models in the long run that support HDMI 2.1. If you’re looking for a secondary or temporary solution, the Amazon models could also be a tip.

Recommended models for PS5 and Xbox Series X can be found in the following article on MeinMMO:

These Bundesliga players could be in the TOTW 4:

  • Kingsley Coman hasn’t scored for a while in the Bundesliga, but scored twice against SC Freiburg. We should expect the Frenchman in TOTW 4.
  • Serhou Guirassy from VfB Stuttgart turned the game around with an incredible hat-trick within 15 minutes and secured the 3:1 final score against VfL Wolfsburg. An Inform card should definitely be awarded for this performance.

One of the best gaming keyboards is currently available on Amazon for only 80 euros

With the Akko 3068 B-Plus, you get one of the best keyboards for under 100 euros on the market. MeinMMO explains why the keyboard is worth it.

A gaming keyboard accompanies you daily in your everyday life. With the Akko 3068 B-Plus, the manufacturer of the same name has launched a very good gaming keyboard for little money.

Currently, the keyboard costs only 74.99 euros instead of 99.99 euros. And for that, it is an excellent deal if you’re looking for a great gaming keyboard for little money.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

For less than 100 euros, you get a lot of premium features

Which keyboard is it about? With the Akko 3068 B-Plus, the manufacturer Akko offers a compact keyboard in the 65% format. Therefore, it does not provide a number pad or function keys (F-keys).

The gaming keyboard from Akko offers you a whole range of features that you usually find in much more expensive models:

  • The keyboard can be used wirelessly via radio or Bluetooth.
  • It comes with PBT keycaps installed by default, and you get a German keyboard layout (ISO-DE).
  • Additionally, the keyboard features hot-swap switches, so you can change the switches at any time.

In our review of the Akko 3068 B-Plus, we already explained that you get a lot of keyboard for little money. The installed switches feel excellent, the build quality is good, and the cable is detachable.

However, there are also disadvantages: the model is entirely made of plastic, the battery life could be better, and the software is clunky and slow.

If you’re looking for a very good gaming keyboard and want to pay less than 100 euros, then with the Akko 3068 B-Plus you get one of the currently best gaming keyboards.

Girlfriend wants to help gamer, secretly cleans his PC hardware – But she accidentally grabs the wrong bottle

A gamer reports on reddit that his girlfriend wanted to do him a favor. For this reason, she cleaned his PC hardware. However, things did not turn out well. The owner takes the whole thing with humor.

No matter if desk, peripherals, or gaming PC: Many things need to be cleaned at some point. This is probably what the girlfriend of a gamer thought. However, she caused a lot of chaos with a misstep.

Confused air spray with cleaning oil

A gamer explained on reddit that his girlfriend wanted to do him a favor. To this end, she cleaned his desk:

One evening, I came home from work and sat down to play a few games. I noticed that my desk was stained and oily, but I didn’t think much of it. When I started typing, I realized that my fingers were oily too. I turned on the light and found that my keyboard was soaked with a strange liquid.

I asked my girlfriend if she knew what had happened, and she said: “Oh yes, I cleaned your desk and keyboard while you were at work…”

Instead of the can of air spray, she accidentally grabbed a can of WD-40.

What is WD-40 anyway? WD-40 is regarded in the USA as the all-purpose oil par excellence and is now sold in dozens of countries. It displaces moisture, eliminates grease, soot, dirt, protects against rust, and serves as a lubricant, also known as penetrating oil.

The all-purpose oil is offered in the form of a spray can. And this circumstance is likely what led to the mix-up that the girlfriend accidentally took the wrong can from the cabinet.

You should regularly clean your tech

It is definitely worthwhile to thoroughly clean your gaming keyboard and other peripherals regularly. Because crumbs, dust, and other dirt accumulate between and on the keys over time. Some researchers claim that there are more bacteria on the keyboard on average than on the toilet seat.

What options are there? The easiest method is actually an air spray, with which you can first remove the dirt from the crevices of your keyboard.

To eliminate bacteria and other stubborn soiling on the keyboard, it is best to use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol or another cleaning alcohol.

Minecraft fans are angry because the developers want them to choose 1 out of 3 features

A new election in Minecraft excites the community. Because out of 3 great ideas, only one will be implemented. Many players find it the wrong decision.

In Minecraft, it has become a good, old tradition to vote on a new mob to be added to the game each year. The developers present three different ideas, and the community can vote on which of the creatures will be added to the game. Usually, these are “useful” beings – mobs that are generally neutral but can assist the player character in various ways.

Again in 2023, such an election is pending – but the community is “fed up”. They don’t want to vote anymore – they want all three creatures.

The story behind the original creator of Minecraft is here:

Start video
The Story of Notch – The Man Who Invented Minecraft

What’s on the ballot? The three mobs that are options have already been roughly introduced. While not all details are known yet, there are a few hints about what the creatures can do and how they behave:

  • Penguin: The penguin is very fast and agile in water – on land, however, it moves somewhat clumsily. Additionally, penguins are directly friendly and help speed up the player character’s boat.
  • Crab: The crabs live in the mangroves, and their claws can be used by players to place blocks over a greater distance than before. This effectively increases the building range of player characters.
  • Armadillo: The materials from the armadillo can be used to craft special armor – for your wolf companion. This way, you can better protect your best friend.

The election will take place starting October 13 for 48 hours. Those who wish can cast their vote directly in the Minecraft Launcher.

The community says: The community appears a little upset, just like in previous years. Because this voting has already led to many being dissatisfied in the past – after all, 2 out of 3 ideas will not be implemented. Accordingly, the comments under the YouTube video reflect this and request that all 3 mobs simply be added to the game:

As many as 47,000 “thumbs up” were given for the simple request from iDeativateMC: “Mojang, can we please have all 3 mobs in the game?”

This is the basic consensus in the comments. Time and again, there are calls for the developers to just add all 3 mobs. Only then will everyone truly be satisfied – and it would be the best for Minecraft.

It looks a bit more radical from RoguePlatypus4414: “THE MOB VOTE HAS DIVIDED US FOR TOO LONG! WE NEED TO UNITE AND GET THEM TO ADD ALL OF THEM.”

Which of the mobs would you choose? Or do you think that all 3 must definitely make it into the game?

Minecraft can even ban your skins now – because you made a mess with them.

WoW Classic HC: Mage is coldly betrayed and killed by friendly city guard

If your character in WoW Classic HC is killed by a friendly guard, there are long faces and a lot of frustration.

In World of Warcraft Classic, players are very attached to their characters – especially in the HC variant. Because if you die there once, you have to say goodbye to your hero permanently; there is no resurrection. Players are therefore extra cautious when it comes to duels or other PvP options. Most have simply disabled PvP. Few are willing to engage in a “Mak’gora” for life and death – a normal duel that ends at 1 HP happens more frequently.

However, even such normal PvP duels can end deadly if guards suddenly intervene.

What happened? The undead mage Thegreek challenged the Tauren druid Beaks to a friendly duel. They had previously joked a bit in the chat and then wanted to resolve a playful dispute via duel.

A normal duel is not a problem even in the “Hardcore” variant of WoW Classic. Players cannot kill each other – the fight ends at 1 HP and debuffs are removed.

For TheGreek, the duel went poorly – he lost significantly. But when his character kneels down, something strange happens. A guard from the crossroad rushes to the mage and quickly knocks him out of life. The message of his death is sent immediately.

Recommended editorial content

Link to the Reddit content

Why did this happen? Although the exact reason is unclear, the community has a suspicion. Because if you watch the clip very slowly, you can still see the damage numbers from abilities on the opponent, even though the duel has already ended.

The guard likely perceived this as “attack on a Horde character.” In such a case, guards rush in and try to defeat the enemy Alliance player or nasty mobs to support their Horde colleague. However, the Tauren seemed to be quite indifferent to having to attack an ally for this.

But maybe he just didn’t get the message that undead now belong to the Horde.

Is Blizzard doing anything about it? No, almost certainly not. This “bug” has existed in the game for many years. It occurs in both allied cities and neutral cities (like Gadgetzan). Even though it can lead to the early death of a character, this is the “normal behavior” of the guards and has been the case since the Vanilla times.

Have you also lost a character in such a bitter way?

By the way, hunters die most often – much more often than all other classes.

Starfield: New update finally brings FOV slider for the field of view, but many wishes of the community remain unfulfilled

In the new update for Starfield, Bethesda has finally incorporated the option to change the field of view via a FOV slider. However, that is not enough for the community. Players are demanding significantly more QoL changes to make the gaming experience smoother and more comfortable should.

The release of Starfield was some time ago. Bethesda provides some improvements for their space role-playing game with each new update. However, fans are not completely satisfied. They want more features and additional settings to customize the gameplay to their desires.

Starfield: Earn money quickly in an HONEST way!

Bethesda introduces a feature that has been available via mod for some time

What’s in the new patch? With update 1.7.36, Starfield has been enhanced with a FOV slider in the graphics options. Now you can officially adjust the field of view in first-person and third-person perspectives. Players on PC and Xbox Series X|S can use the feature.

Additionally, there are further stability and performance improvements. The Intel Arc graphics cards are particularly mentioned with improved stability.

A change has also been made in the faction quest “Echoes of the Past.” An issue was resolved where tunnel creatures could select a location that could hinder your quest progress.

Why are players still unhappy with the update? The ability to change the field of view via the FOV slider was already introduced into the game weeks ago by the community itself.

On PC, one could adjust the value to their liking through an additional created ini file. Shortly thereafter, it could also be easily changed through corresponding mods. At least console players on Xbox Series X|S can now enjoy a larger field of view after a long wait.

What does Starfield still lack? The update is definitely heading in the right direction. However, fans have more wishes to further enhance the gaming comfort. This includes support for 32:9 ultra-wide monitors and the official integration of Nvidia DLSS.

Until then, you can achieve more FPS in Starfield with the best graphics settings on PC.

Fans are also demanding an option to quit the game directly through the in-game menu and a revised map with better clarity.

Whether and when Bethesda will respond to these requests remains uncertain. Until Starfield has been expanded with these QoL features, you can at least rely on the vast array of available mods from the community.

Why you should install Starfield on an SSD, you can find out here:

A 23-Year-Old from Frankfurt earns up to 20,000 € a month with clips from Twitch streamers

A 23-year-old from Frankfurt uploads compilations of clips from the German Twitch scene on YouTube under the name “Hungry Hugo.” These reach hundreds of thousands to millions of viewers, a lucrative business.

What kind of channel is this? “Hungry Hugo” is known for so-called compilations: He posts videos that stitch together excerpts from streams, garnished with music, audio recordings, and special effects.

The result is mostly over-the-top videos that can be overwhelming for the inexperienced viewer. However, for the fans, they are practical highlights of the German Twitch scene. After all, not everyone can be present for every stream.

Although “Hungry Hugo” has been running the channel since 2019, he remained anonymous for a long time. In 2021, he first showed his face in the “World Wide Wohnzimmer” (via ZDF), but his real name remains unknown to this day.

In the interview with Spiegel, the 23-year-old explains how he creates his compilations and how lucrative the business with the clips is.

Clips, short excerpts from streams often taken out of context, can develop a curious life of their own online:

Twitch: This is the quirky story behind the most popular clip of all time

Nearly 1 Million Subscribers Follow the “Twitch Highlights”

So successful is “Hungry Hugo”: On his main channel, which he created on December 4, 2019, the 23-year-old now has over 885,000 subscribers and nearly 100 million views (via Social Blade).

In addition, the 23-year-old has also set up a second channel called “Satter Hugo”. While the videos on the main channel weave stories from individual clips, the second channel features more classic compilations without a narrative thread.

The second channel is now run by the friendly content creator ItsLoru, who, according to Spiegel, is proportionally involved in the revenue. Additionally, there is also the “Reaction Hugo,” where a similar arrangement probably exists.

However, the Twitch streamer “LetsHugo” does not belong to the network, as there are frequent confusions due to the name similarity. His appearances in the clip compilations, however, helped him achieve breakthrough success.

Rather than buying a Lambo, the YouTuber prefers to save

How much can one earn with something like this? Apparently, one can live quite well from the compilations: While “Hungry Hugo” reported monthly earnings of 10,000 euros to FAZ in early 2022, they have since risen significantly higher. Through AdSense alone, participation in advertising revenues can sometimes yield 20,000 euros.

Also, some companies are said to pay five-figure amounts for product placements. However, “Hungry Hugo” also worked “relentlessly [tirelessly], without going out much” for two years.

During a voluntary social year, he worked in a kindergarten, came home only late in the afternoon, and then spent late nights editing videos. From the earnings, Hungry Hugo treated himself to a decent car, while the rest is primarily invested or saved. The YouTuber wanted to build something for himself and “be his own boss.” Apparently, he has achieved that.

Not everyone is happy about appearing in these compilations. Some have their own highlight and clip channels that may not be as interesting to viewers. Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller even banned “Hungry Hugo” from using his footage in 2021.

Other streamers are troubled when hurtful comments appear under the videos. Some fans complain, for instance, that they want to see less of a content creator they do not like. The Twitch streamer Chefstrobel” stated in August 2023 that he no longer wants to be the “laughing stock of the day.”

Veteran from Destiny 2 wants to play with a new clan, gets kicked out because he doesn’t play the meta

In Destiny 2 there are many types of players and clans that you like and dislike encountering. One type of player falls into the category of “sweaty” players who want to complete everything perfectly and with maximum efficiency. A veteran from Destiny 1 had to painfully realize that not every type of player is there for a relaxed game of Destiny.

Who was affected? The Reddit user TeacherSalary posted about his experience in Destiny 2 with a new clan he had found. The user comes from Destiny 1, where he also had his clan, but he had to search for a new one since his clan gradually fell silent in the first year of Destiny 2.

For this reason, TeacherSalary sought a group in the notorious LFG (Looking for Group) to complete Crota, the latest legacy raid. He quickly found a group and a player who explained all the phases to him and even invited him to an active clan – exactly what he was looking for.

He then found himself in an active clan, with many players, a Discord server, frequent raids, and good admins managing everything. Additionally, the clan was set to “relaxed,” so Teacher knew what to expect, but things were about to change.

In Destiny there are some players who are not just playing for ‘fun’

How did the story end? After the Crota run, TeacherSalary was asked if he wanted to do a Nightfall with a high score. Although he had never completed one before, he accepted the challenge. The run was a success, and the Guardians emerged victorious after the first attempt. However, his teammates mocked him for his loadout.

He allegedly had the “wrong” weapons and elements, bringing the team down. According to him, that was the first drop that catapulted him out. The last drops that caused the barrel to overflow were a raid run in the Deep Stone Crypt. As a Warlock, he played without a Well, instead using the Nova Bomb.

Taniks Raid Boss Crypt Destiny 2 Title

For this reason, the team could not defeat the final boss in the first phase, which made the leader furious. He wanted to restart the phase, but Teacher insisted on defeating the boss in the same run, as a wipe made no sense. They did defeat Taniks in the second round and then said their goodbyes.

The next day, Teacher discovered indignantly that he had been kicked from the Discord channel as well as the clan without being given a reason for it.

Although this behavior is very surprising, many Guardians have gone through similar experiences one way or another. Teacher believes it was due to his disagreements and the way he played Destiny 2.

Are players in Destiny 2 always like this? As in every game, you will either encounter relaxed people that you want to have around you or the sweaty ones who want to complete every activity with perfection and without mistakes.

If you encounter the latter, it can quickly become uncomfortable, as such Guardians usually do not understand fun. If you then make a mistake in their presence, you will be mocked, put down, and, as in this extreme case, perhaps even kicked from the team or clan.

Therefore, do not let yourselves be discouraged if you encounter such players; do yourselves a favor and leave the group. They are not worth the nerves and the stress. Destiny 2 is meant to be fun and not to win a prize.

Have you had toxic experiences in Destiny before? Then feel free to let us know in the comments and share with other Guardians!

Your Githyanki companion is playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on Twitch, is completely lost and the fans love it

Devora Wilde is the voice actress of Lae’zel and is streaming for the first time, playing Baldur’s Gate 3. She even practiced for several hours before starting the stream on Twitch. However, fans notice that she hasn’t played the title often so far and find it adorable.

How is Devora Wilde doing? Even during character creation, the voice actress has some problems (via twitch.tv). For example, she can’t figure out how to change the camera angle or how to delete the name that is mistakenly in the name field.

Always by her side is her acquaintance Grace, who guides her through the game and helps her whenever she encounters a problem.

The big shock comes when Wilde has to design her guardian. She asks if she seriously has to go through the entire process again. Desperate, she presses the “Randomise” button and settles for the choice.

No wonder Wilde is overwhelmed. After all, Baldur’s Gate 3 offers numerous content, as the following video shows:

What is the voice actress celebrated for? Devora Wilde is very excited when she meets herself in the game. After adding Lae’zel to the party, the character follows her around. Wilde seems so pleased as if a small dog is running after her.

This moment can be seen in a post on Reddit:

At times, she is also unsure how the mission continues and where to go next. Her acquaintance then explains to her where the minimap is and how she can see where to go next.

At times, she doesn’t even know which the R2 button is and how to open the inventory. Fans celebrate her reaction when she excitedly finds the inventory for the first time.

Although Lae’zel is rather one of the unloved characters, fans are totally thrilled about the voice actress. Many users are happy for her that she can discover the game fully for the first time.

With her childlike enthusiasm, she delights the fan community, as you can read in the following comments (via reddit.com):

  • Kcoppa: “Lmao! She is equally excited about everything she discovers. It’s a real joy to watch her.”
  • Forever Indecised: “Only Lae’zel can treat Lae’zel like a puppy.”
  • bewareofgobbi: “I can’t even say how much I enjoyed this. She is just amazing.”

A user even writes that the voice actress of Lae’zel along with the actor of Astarion would be their favorite people from the cast. The voice actor of Astarion also recently tried to date himself during a stream.

By the way, this is not Wilde’s first Twitch appearance. She has already streamed Dungeons & Dragons on Twitch with the cast and gained some experience in the role-playing area. Only the controls on PlayStation are still a challenge for her.

The voice actress of Shadowheart is also drawing attention. She offers her voice so fans can send messages to acquaintances. A man confessed, for example, that he cheated on his wife with Shadowheart:

Twitch streamer ELoTRiX complains about CoD MW3: “They don’t squeeze 80 € out of my pockets”

The Twitch streamer ELoTRix was once known for playing shooters like CoD, but he does not want to play the new Modern Warfare 3.

Who is it about? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber ELoTRiX was one of the biggest German-speaking shooter YouTubers a few years ago. ELoTriX, whose real name is Carsten, founded his YouTube channel back in 2011.

ELoTRiX was particularly known for shooter gameplay at his time. He played titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, released in 2011, Battlefield 3, or Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The now 31-year-old appeared energetic and loud.

In 2023, he mainly appeared as a variety streamer, indulging in many different games and showcasing games like Elden Ring, Lies of P, Diablo 4, and League of Legends. He is also frequently active in the “Just Chatting” category (via Sullygnome).

“They tortured us for so many years”

What does ELoTRiX say about CoD MW3? ELoTRiX apparently has no desire to spend money on the upcoming shooter. He expresses himself clearly negatively and makes it clear that he is not satisfied with the developments of the franchise in recent years, even though he would like to play the game.

In addition, ELoTRiX explains that every player who buys CoD this year is partly responsible for the current situation:

They are not going to get 80 € out of my pockets for some nostalgia map packs. And everyone who allows themselves to be farmed by CoD again this year is also simply responsible for that nothing will ever change.

I also got a bit hyped and I actually want to play the game, but they have tortured us for so many years… I just got tired.

ELoTRiX via TikTok

Overall, it can be assumed that ELoTRiX will not buy this year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 after that statement. Whether he will stay true to his words will be seen in November.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to be released on November 10, 2023, for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, as well as Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

For MW3, CoD relies entirely on the nostalgic feelings of fans and brings 16 maps from the 2009 released MW2. Additionally, the shooter will feature a story and a zombie mode. The popular movement trick “Slide-Cancel” is also expected to return.

Destiny 2: How to find the last Hidden Card ‘Gift of Orientation’ in Season 22

In Destiny 2 the story of Season 22 is over. But one mystery remains: the last concealed card in the Deck of Whispers. However, players have begun searching for this mysterious artifact, which seems to be unreachable so far. We will show you what they have discovered and where you are likely to get the last card.

We have updated this article on October 10th with the last location of the “Card of Guidance”. You can find the exact location of the card in the video we have linked to in this article.

What mystery remains unsolved in Season 22: During the ongoing Season 22 in Destiny 2, guardians have collected powerful cards from the Deck of Whispers.

  • There are a total of 55 cards in the Deck of Whispers for Season 22.
  • The cards could be collected in the seasonal activities “Altars of Summoning” and “Savathun’s Pillar” as well as by completing ritual activities.

So far, the guardians have found 54 concealed cards. However, the last card remains a mystery. Therefore, we will tell you everything that has been discovered about this card so far.

What is the “Deck of Whispers” in Destiny 2 exactly?

The new mechanic was introduced in Season 22 for Destiny 2 for the first time.
The “Deck of Whispers” is a collection of Arcana cards that players can collect during the Witch season. These cards are drawn randomly while playing the seasonal activities and provide players with build-enhancing passive abilities. For example, an increased chance to receive heavy ammunition or to scorch their opponents. Thus, the cards and the freely defined card deck from the players are a very effective tool to complement builds and to master the more challenging challenges in the Altars of Summoning or Savathun’s Pillar optimally.

How exciting the content of Season 22 in Destiny 2 is, after it was previously rather unspectacular:

How to find the last card in the “Deck of Whispers”

Why is the last card currently not findable? The eager collectors in Destiny 2 have searched all corners and found 54 cards. But the last card is not just well hidden. It is completely unfindable.

This is because the location of this last concealed card in Destiny 2 is still not known or available. Thus, it remains locked for all guardians at the moment.

Nevertheless, the Destiny community has not remained idle. They have unearthed all clues to the last card and made speculations that hint at the source and location of the find.

This last card No. 55 in Season 22 has not yet been discovered.

All information about the missing card in Season 22:

  • Finding the card will reward players with the emblem “Augury”, provided they have previously discovered all minor Arcana cards at the Table of Prophecy.
  • It was assumed that this emblem drops with the acquisition of the seasonal title “Haruspex”. However, this was not the case. Even after obtaining the title, 0% of players according to Light.gg possess the emblem, which supports the community theory that the last card is time-gated.
  • Also from the API of Destiny 2 clues to the location of the card have been obtained: It can be found in the Altars of Summoning as “A gift of navigation – Found in the arms of a statue at the foot of the waterfalls.

Here is the exact card location:

The last card will thus be available today with the weekly reset from 7:00 PM. With the card, you can then advance to the 3rd floor of the twisted test world.

What else awaits in Season 22? With the yet undiscovered content, it also seems that the last lore entries for “Initiation Rites” and “Sister Murder” will be unlocked. Season 22 has therefore not completely exhausted its potential, it seems.


Have you already searched for the card? And what do you think, how many trials Savathun has prepared with a wicked laugh in the Imbaru engine?

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 10.10. – Today the Outbreak begins

This week, all players in Destiny 2 are invited to the Iron Banner and can join the honorable Lords. But that’s not all. The twisted Imbaru Engine of the Witch Queen is waiting to be explored again, perhaps to unveil one last secret.

This is happening this week: Lord Saladin really needs no introduction in Destiny 2. He is the undisputed Iron Lord, who nobly challenges the Guardians to PvP each season. In the Iron Banner, only the best wolves train to strengthen their light for the fight.

  • If you want to become an Iron Lord as well, you can complete the challenges in the Iron Banner on the map from October 10 to 17. The event is free for all players.
  • This week, the mode “Eruption” is being played. You have to get kills, build a buff, and share the energy you gain with your teammates.
  • But beware: If you don’t make a kill for 15 seconds, you will break out and explode deadly.

What else is there? In the PvE of Destiny 2, the story of Season 22 is actually already done. Nevertheless, the Guardians are missing something. A card from their deck is still not found. Therefore, a few players have set out to search for clues to find out where and how this card can be obtained.

In addition, activities in Destiny 2 will rotate again, giving you new challenges. We will reveal what they are in this article as always.

Weekly Activities

In this world, everything is upside down as Savathun maliciously laughs while testing your cunning.

These are the ritual activities: Season 22 offers the Guardians new challenges and a card deck that supports them on their missions with buffs and benefits. Provided they unlock everything and assemble their deck appropriately.

  • Altars of Summoning: Offer sacrifices in the otherworldly prison of the Witch Queen to summon horrific enemies, defeat them, and gain their power.
    • There are three difficulty levels you can activate. If you activate the “Powerful”, the highest difficulty level with three swords, you will also sweat a lot.
    • However, upgrading your deck makes it increasingly easier.
  • Savathûn’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat her overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
    • Void Crystals have a barrier around them that protects nearby enemies. The barrier must be entered, and the crystal destroyed from the inside.

All sources for top loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2

This Witch Queen has died many deaths in Destiny 2 and is still cheeky.

More power level comes automatically: The power level is also capped in Season 22, which means that the hard power level cap in Destiny 2 remains at 1,810. This way, no player is forced to perform at their best every week, but levels up automatically at all activities with the artifact level.

  • There are still hard challenges, even without an increase in power levels. For example, in Grandmaster raids, Nightfall strikes, Grandmaster lost sectors, or the Trials of Osiris. Here, a high artifact level is advantageous and necessary.

If you are not yet at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed here the best sources for top loot.

Steam: CS2 is now one of the worst rated games from Valve – 45% negative

Counter-Strike 2 is one of the worst games from Valve on Steam just under 2 weeks after its release. Only a card game is worse.

Counter-Strike 2 celebrated its release on September 27 and officially replaced CS:GO as its successor. The tactical shooter came with several changes such as revised maps, a new ranked mode, a polished look, and an overhaul of the smoke grenades.

CS2 also brought some issues that fans are bothered by, which resulted in the title receiving poor ratings on Steam – Valve’s own platform. Among them is a bug that affected the hitboxes of characters while crouching.

Start video
Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer

How do the ratings for CS2 look? Since Counter-Strike 2 uses the same Steam store page as CS:GO did before, the ratings of the tactical shooter initially appear better than they actually are – a strong 88% of all 7.6 million (!) reviews are positive.

However, if you look only at the reviews submitted since September 28, the day after the CS2 release, the sentiment becomes much worse. Of 99,502 reviews, only 55% are positive, meaning 45% of all players rate CS2 negatively (as of October 10, 6:00 PM, via Steam).

This makes CS2 one of the lowest-rated games from Valve. Only a card game called “Artifact” fares worse. While “Artifact Classic” has a 46.79% positive rating, “Artifact Foundry” sits at 54.89% (via SteamDB).

What do players say in their reviews? Players miss CS:GO and the depth that the tactical shooter achieved over the years and lost with the switch to CS2. There is also criticism regarding the servers, matchmaking, and the ongoing cheating problem.

  • ‘Terribly bad matchmaking (via Steam)’
  • ‘Valve just released an unfinished game to completely erase CS:GO. Sorry, but why Valve? (via Steam)’
  • ‘Cool that you pulled a new engine with new graphics and effects from the basement and stuck it on the game, but did you completely throw out matchmaking and anti-cheat, or what is now the premise (via Steam)?’
  • ‘The CS2 update is simply unfinished. It looks nice, but it’s about 10% of what CS:GO once was. Maybe you’ll come back in a year or so (via Steam).’
  • ‘No more balancing, no more community maps for training, all spray patterns have changed. No more fun with this crap (via Steam).’
  • ‘The CS2 release feels a bit rushed, to be honest. The lack of content in CS2 is noticeable. […] CSGO was a great game and I hope that CS2 becomes one very soon as well (via Steam).’

Not only normal players are currently unimpressed with CS2. Even s1mple, one of the most successful CS players of all time, criticizes the tactical shooter:
