For many years, fans of Max Payne had to wait for new adventures. Now, at least the remake of the first two parts is within reach.
In the early years of the 2000s, there were some game series that fans still hold in special memory. Back then on PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, “Max Payne” was one of the most well-known action shooters, produced in the style of “Film Noir” and convincing with a great story and fantastic gameplay.
A second part, “The Fall of Max Payne,” was already released in 2003 and was also a hit.
Exactly these two games are getting a remake more than 20 years after their release and are supposed to be brought up to modern technical standards. This is not just a “remaster,” but a complete redesign.
When will the remake be released? A specific date for the remake is not yet available. However, it is clear that it is supposed to have the “production value of a AAA title” and that both parts will be combined into a single game. So if you haven’t played Max Payne 1 and 2 yet, you might want to wait for the remake to enjoy it in better graphics and “in one go.”
The game will be released on PC, but also on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
What was special about Max Payne? Even though it has become standard in many games today, Max Payne is considered the pioneer of the so-called “Bullet Time.” Here, the flow of time in the game is drastically slowed down for a few seconds, allowing players to take a closer look or make several precise shots that would be hardly possible in the heat of a normal battle.
This Bullet Time, which many might also know from the first Matrix film, has since been adopted in numerous games. There is something similar in Red Dead Redemption, GTA V, or the action series Bayonetta.
Are you excited about the return of Max Payne? Or would you prefer a Max Payne 4 instead of a remake?

In EA FC 24 the problem with duplicates in Ultimate Team is becoming particularly evident and the community is discussing it heatedly.
In the recent FIFA titles, especially in FIFA 23, it has become clear that EA Sports is noticeably moving towards untradeable cards – that is, cards in Ultimate Team that cannot be offered or purchased on the transfer market.
Especially in newer packs that can be purchased in the store or packs from SBCs (Squad Building Challenges), one can find cards that one cannot easily get rid of. While these can be played well and used in one’s own club, if the cards are too weak or simply don’t fit into one’s team, one has a problem.

EA FC 24: How the new dribbling mechanics work
This is the problem with duplicates: The big problem with duplicates in EA FC 24 is one that has existed for many years. When you open a pack and find duplicates, you cannot open another pack until you have taken care of the duplicate cards.
And you can deal with duplicates in the following ways:
You put the duplicates into Squad Building Challenges to unlock new packs or players.
You discard the duplicate cards for 0 coins.
However, there are currently issues with both options, as EA FC 24 simply does not offer enough suitable SBCs into which the duplicates could be placed. Thus, the only option left is mostly to discard, which is also not ideal since you just give away the card without getting anything in return.
This is particularly frustrating when discarding cards with high ratings, which would have been worth some coins in the tradable version.
This is what it looks like for many FC-24 players right now.
What the community says about duplicates in EA FC 24
On Reddit there is a thread gaining a lot of traction, reporting on the current duplicate issue in EA FC 24. We have selected a few voices for you:
Dr_PainTrain: ‘I opened a Jumbo Rare Player Pack and 60% were duplicates. It’s annoying to have to discard them all.’
Tahsein4523: ‘The same thing happened to me. An absolutely ridiculous outdated system. At least give us the option to save players for an overpriced SBC like Guimaraes.’
jl94x4: ‘Quick selling for 0 coins is a joke. Untradeable cards should have the same quick sell value as tradable cards. Even if it’s only half, I would support that.’
mistercapitan: ‘I even had to discard three 87-rated Kobel.’
WALTON1981: ‘They should introduce a Rare Gold Player Pick SBC, for which you have to submit 11 Rare Gold cards.’
A solution does not seem to be in sight for now. What do you think about the duplicates in EA FC 24? Is it a problem for you as well? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

Alice in Borderland returns with a third season on Netflix, even though the story has already concluded in the manga. MeinMMO reveals what it’s about.
The Japanese thriller series based on the manga Alice in Borderland is entering its third round. As Variety reports, Netflix, specifically Kim Minyoung, announced this news during the APOS conference in Indonesia and confirmed that Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya will reprise their roles as Arisu and Usagi.

What is Alice in Borderland about? Alice in Borderland is a dystopian thriller series based on the manga of the same name by Haro Aso. The story revolves around Arisu (played by Kento Yamazaki) and his friends who are suddenly drawn into a mysterious parallel world.
This parallel world is an abandoned Tokyo where they are faced with a choice: Either they must play dangerous games and win to survive, or they risk death. The games in this world are lethal and dangerous, and they are divided into four categories represented by the colors of a playing card.

What happens next with Alice in Borderland?
With the conclusion of the second season of Alice in Borderland, the manga source material has been fully adapted. The third season could revolve around a new story, as the main characters are still involved.
Spoiler: The second season ended with an exciting cliffhanger that left fans buzzing. A joker card was presented on a table, which led to intense discussions on Reddit about whether a third season is planned and what the significance of the card might be. Now, fans can definitely look forward to another season that may reveal new secrets.
When will the third season be released? Unfortunately, the release date for the third season of Alice in Borderland has not yet been determined. The first two seasons were each released in December, with the second season starting on December 22, 2022. Therefore, it is possible that the third season might also be released in December, possibly as early as 2024. However, you can probably expect a longer wait.

In Baldur’s Gate 3 a player was able to depower one of the most powerful bosses using a flower. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.
Spoiler: The article contains story spoilers that extend to after Act 2.
Baldur’s Gate 3 offers players an almost endless range of opportunities to express their creativity. One of these opportunities led to an impressively easy victory over a feared necromancer in the second act. In this case, the player used a seemingly useless weapon – a magical flower.
To make room for the bloom, we have embedded a video from MeinMMO. It gives you three tips on how to reduce your burden:

3 Tips to Reduce Your Carrying Weight in Baldur’s Gate 3
Player tricks Balthazar with a flower
How did he manage that? It all started with a discussion about the mysterious Sussur flower from the Underdark in Act 1. It is a strange plant that can create an antimagic zone around it.
Under normal circumstances, this plant would hardly make it onto a player’s Must-have list. The flowers tend to wilt as soon as you say goodbye to the gloomy Underdark.
However, the player Kill-bray found out on Reddit that the Sussur flowers can also survive outside the Underdark:
The bloom must be placed in a bag or another container and kept sealed.
He also found out that you can not only steal from NPCs to take loot from their pockets but also to secretly slip them your own items.
What was the battle against the necromancer like? His grand strategy unfolded when he found himself inside the Temple of Shar in Balthazar’s chamber, a powerful necromancer. Here he put his bold plan into action. He donated the bag with the Sussur flower to Balthazar.
In the later fight with him (in the Night Song), Balthazar literally did nothing. He was in quite an uncomfortable position. Because of the antimagic barrier around him, his magical powers were useless.
So instead of casting spells or summoning undead minions, he ran around aimlessly and had nothing to do. Balthazar was probably not prepared for this flowery turn.
Now the player only had to defeat the many undead creatures, which proved to be an easy fight. The biggest problem was a wizard who blinded some of my party members, but ultimately it was a straightforward fight.
Finally, what started as a playful idea evolved into a triumphant success. It is always astonishing to see what brilliant solutions players can come up with through their creativity. It shows us that it is worth taking a closer look at seemingly ordinary items. With a touch of creativity, they could be the key to victory.
In the career mode of the FIFA successor EA FC 24, a bug has emerged that is causing considerable frustration. We will reveal to you what error it is.
The career mode of EA Sports has received some new features that, while not revolutionary, expand it with some functions. Now there are:
Simplified tactics with Tactical Visions.
Better preparation for the next game with “Match Preparation” and “Matchday Training”.
A new camera perspective at the sideline to view the game like a coach.
A player agent in the player career who helps you become a superstar.
Your own coaching staff that you can hire.
However, there seems to be an error with the last point that is causing frustration among players.

5 important improvements in the career mode of EA Sports FC 24
This is the “Coach Release Bug”: In the career mode of EA FC 24, you have your own coaching staff for the first time, which you need to take care of. You hire coaches who help you improve your squad and accelerate player development.
The various coaches have star ratings from 1 to 5 and can be fired and rehired. And it is eventually necessary when you want to opt for stronger coaches to get more out of your team.
But there is a problem: When firing a coach, the game crashes completely, and nothing can be done. You cannot return to a previous menu, nor can you proceed to the next one.
The only thing that helps after the crash is restarting the game. And after restarting, the coach you wanted to fire is still there.
Is there a solution for the bug? In the official EA FC 24 forum, the bug is being discussed heatedly, and many players report their experiences with the annoying error. An EA staff member responded in the forum and confirmed that the studio is aware of the problem and is working on a solution.
Hunters are the worst class in WoW Classic HC – at least when you look at their deaths. They have died more frequently than anyone else.
World of Warcraft Classic has especially celebrated remarkable success with the “Hardcore” version. The game mode is still quite popular, and anyone looking at the official HC realms will find players at every level – no wonder, as many often have to start over. How often, that has now been published by Blizzard in a small infographic.
The frequency of deaths for the various classes: Via the X-Account (formerly Twitter), Blizzard has published a small statistic indicating how often players in WoW Classic Hardcore have met their demise. Keep in mind that each death represents the permanent end of a character – as there are no revivals here.

The leaders of the statistics are clearly the hunters. More than 400,000 of them have bitten the digital dust and died alongside their companions (and due to a lack of arrows).
At the bottom of the statistics are paladins and shamans – which seems logical as both classes can only be found with the Alliance or only with the Horde.
Why do hunters die so often? While one can certainly bring up the old meme of “hunters can do nothing,” there is likely another reason. Hunters are generally considered one of the easiest classes to level in the “Hardcore” mode of WoW Classic. This is due to several factors, because:
Hunters have a companion (pet) that can absorb damage.
Hunters can run faster themselves and slow down enemies, thus escaping well.
Hunters can feign death and thus avoid almost all fights.
This combination ensures that hunters are fundamentally a good choice to take on the challenge of a hardcore character. Accordingly, it is likely that simply more hunters have been created.
Which class did you play in WoW Classic HC? And how many hunters have you let die in the process?
In the new video from Nerdkultur, you will learn from Marco Risch which film manages to compete with the big blockbusters despite a comparably low budget.
Who or what is Marco Risch? Marco Risch has been uploading videos with news, reviews, analyses, and interviews about current films, series, and video games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur since 2015.
In his podcast Nerd & Kultur , he chats every Sunday with his colleague Yves Arievich about topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. With both, he is part of the Webedia network, of which MeinMMO is also a part.
What the film The Creator and its production are all about, Marco tells you in his video:
Start video
The Creator Trailer
Who and what is behind the production? As Marco describes in his video, The Creator is the Terminator 4 we were promised.
What really makes The Creator stand out is its comparatively low budget, allowing the film to compete with the big blockbusters.
The production costs for films have increased significantly in recent years. In 1997, the film Face/Off with a budget of 80 million dollars was one of the most expensive action films. By comparison, Ant-Man 3 cost a whopping 200 million dollars.
And suddenly, The Creator came along with a budget of also 80 million dollars and feels like a 300 million dollar production. Moreover, the film changes something forever in Hollywood with its techniques, or as Marco describes it, he democratizes filmmaking.
Behind it all is Gareth Edwards, known for films like Rouge One and Godzilla. After his last hit, however, he stepped back from cinemas for 7 years before working on The Creator.
Edwards is known for having developed an innovative method. His idea was to film entire movies at special, exotic, and suitable locations and then to re-work them with visual effects. This differs significantly from the approach taken for these films otherwise.
But this enabled Edwards, for example, to allow small teams to produce their films cost-effectively. And thus the masterpiece The Creator was created with a very low budget.
What is The Creator about? The story behind this film makes it even crazier that The Creator has become a revolution for Hollywood. Because the film deals with the evolution of AI and thus fully captures the current zeitgeist.
As people are at war with artificial intelligence, Special Forces agent Joshua is tasked with locating and eliminating the AI architect. Because he has developed a weapon to annihilate all of humanity.
As they then enter the enemy territory, they discover that this weapon is an AI in the form of a child.
In EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, the first major promo has started with the RTTK event. There, you can grab a strong card of BVB star Reyna, and we’ll show you how to do it.
As part of the RTTK event (Road to the Knockouts) in EA FC 24, there are a whole bunch of new special cards. However, particularly expensive RTTK cards like Haaland (92), Osimhen (90) or Bruno Fernandes (90) are far out of reach for many players.
Fortunately, the promo brings a really strong card that you can unlock without any coins.
What kind of card is this? It is an RTTK card of Dortmund’s Giovanni Reyna (84), who can be used as an attacking midfielder, as well as LM, RM, or RF. The card has strong stats and can significantly improve your team, especially at the start of Ultimate Team.
Start video
EA FC 24: How the new dribbling mechanics work
What makes the Reyna card strong: RTTK-Reyna has strong stats in all areas that are important for an offensively oriented midfielder, surpassing 80. He is fast, has a decent shot, offers strong passing stats, and shines with outstanding dribbling stats.
Furthermore, it is of course a great advantage that this is an RTTK card that can get stronger over time. If Dortmund manages to secure 2 wins from the remaining group matches, Reyna will rise to a rating of 85. And if BVB even reaches the Round of 16 in the Champions League, a 86-rated card awaits Reyna.
The only real weakness of the free card may be the 2 stars for the weak foot. So you should definitely avoid shooting at the goal with your left foot.
How to get RTTK-Reyna in EA FC 24
These are the tasks you need to complete: To get the new Reyna card into your team, you just need to complete a few simple tasks in Ultimate Team.
You need to complete the following:
Prepare 5 goals with an American player using through passes in Squad Battles (difficulty at least semi-professional) or Rivals.
Score 10 goals with a Bundesliga player in Squad Battles (difficulty at least semi-professional) or Rivals.
Score at least 2 goals per game in 4 separate Squad Battles matches (difficulty at least semi-professional) or Rivals.
Win 10 Squad Battles matches (difficulty at least semi-professional) or Rivals while having at least 3 Bundesliga players in your starting lineup.
EA FC 24 has launched and players want to improve their teams in Ultimate Team. The Squad Battles mode is ideal for this.
What are Squad Battles? In this mode, you play against the AI instead of real players. For each match, you receive a score based on the result and various game data. The better you play, the more points you earn.
These points contribute to your weekly ranking, and you can complete a total of 32 matches that will be counted. Your result then determines what kind of rewards you receive. The higher you finish, the better the reward. The Squad Battles rewards are always available on Sunday mornings.
However, the regular Squad Battles rewards are not the only reason you should play this weekend.
Many packs in the objectives are easier to achieve in Squad Battles
There are various reasons to start in Squad Battles if you want to improve your team.
The difficulty: You can choose how strong your opponent is. This gives you, firstly, the opportunity to play with affordable starter teams, and secondly, to try out new gameplay mechanics.
Especially at the beginning, the Division Rivals mode is very competitive, as many players are starting and stronger opponents also need to rank up. If you want to start more relaxed, choose Squad Battles.
Strong rewards in objectives: There are a lot of objectives right at the start in EA FC 24 that you can complete relatively quickly if you score many goals in Squad Battles and achieve high victories. A few examples of current objectives:
You get a “Gold Pack” for 25 assists, a “Two-Rare-Gold-Players-Pack” for 50 assists, and a “Premium-Gold-Players-Pack” for 150 assists in any mode. This works well in Squad Battles. A Jumbo-Rare-Players-Pack is even available for 400 assists, but that takes longer.
There are also some rewards for the completion objectives.
10 chip goals bring a “Two-Rare-Gold-Players” pack.
A Mega-Pack is available for 50 power shot goals.
A Rare Mega-Pack is awarded for 75 goals from finesse shots.
Another Rare Mega-Pack is available for 100 goals.
250 goals earn you a Jumbo-Rare-Players-Pack.
50 volley goals give you a Premium-Gold-Players-Pack.
The series “Mastery: Squad Battles” in the milestones rewards you with different packs for Squad Battles victories.
A “Rare Player (82+)” pack is available for 10 victories.
A “Two-Rare-Gold-Players-Pack” is available for 25.
A “Rare-Players-Pack” is available at 50.
More rewards are available for 100, 200, and 300 victories as well as for overall completion. That will take longer, but especially at the start, it is useful.
“FC-Founder” is a task series where you need to collect various victories and goals while wearing the “FC-Founder home jersey”. You get this as a Founder if you play until November 1st. Here you get a lot of EP, which helps you progress in the season and earn rewards.

EA FC 24: How the new dribbling mechanics work
Even more objectives: These are just a few examples; more objectives may be added. There is also a series of objectives with first ownership players – that is, players you have from SBCs, packs, or rewards, not from the transfer market. If you build a corresponding team, you can also earn the rewards from it on the side.
Some of these objectives can also be completed in other modes; in Squad Battles, it is simply easier. Especially if you want to collect many packs to enhance your team at the start, this is advisable.
Special card for Reyna: The RTTK event in EA FC 24 has started and features a special card for Reyna from BVB. You can also secure this by completing the corresponding objectives in Squad Battles. Make sure that you at least need the difficulty Semi-Pro here.
Evolutions: You can improve some of your players in Evolutions. You can usually use Squad Battles matches to complete your objectives and upgrade your players. This is also worth it early on.
In general, Evolutions are one of the most exciting new features in the UT mode of EA Sports FC 24. They allow you to equip various cards in your club with better stats.

How are fans reacting? The reactions of Pokémon fans to this development are marked by frustration and anger.
AntaraelDulacre emphasizes (via X): Scalpers are the reason we can’t have nice things. […] Videos circulating show adult men (and women) fighting for Pokémon merchandise in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which was an initiative to spark children’s interest in art.
JoeMerrick writes (via X): This makes me so sad. […] I’ve seen so many who wanted to go, just to get tickets and merchandise for resale.[…]
Tickled Pickles reports (via X) that some wanted to steal his card: I was there today and the card was awesome, but when I came out, I was almost attacked by vultures trying to buy or even steal my card.
The art exhibition can still be visited at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam until January 7, 2024. It remains to be seen how the museum and The Pokémon Company will respond to the situation.
Many gamers consider whether to buy a gaming PC or a console instead. But what do PS5 and Xbox do better than a real gaming PC? MeinMMO presents the advantages of consoles.
If you want to game nowadays, you have different options: Either you play on a gaming PC, on a console, or you grab your phone.
But where are the differences or advantages of a console compared to a gaming PC? MeinMMO lists reasons for choosing a gaming console. And at this point, it doesn’t matter whether you choose a PS5 or an Xbox.
If you don’t want to wait forever for updates or performance improvements, you turn to a console. Because in most cases, games run significantly better on the Xbox or PS5. Starfield runs excellently on Xbox, while players on PC complain about minor issues.
Consoles have the advantage that games can be tailored exactly to the hardware of the console. Developers can set up the PS5 in their office and thoroughly test the game. Testing 20 different PC configurations is nearly impossible.
A PS5 or Xbox is cheaper than a gaming PC
The purchase price for gaming consoles like the PS5 or Xbox is generally lower than for a gaming PC. For an Xbox Series X or a PS5, you pay around 500 euros. For the versions without a drive, you pay a little less.
A high-performance gaming PC currently costs around 1,000 euros and sometimes even significantly more. At least if you want to play current AAA titles like Starfield or Cyberpunk 2077 with many details and in high resolution (WQHD, 4K). For many indie games, however, you don’t necessarily need high-end hardware.
At the same time, you have to keep in mind with PC gaming that you will eventually need to upgrade your hardware or at least should. A console can only be upgraded to a limited extent – at most with a larger SSD.
For many years, consoles have relied on exclusive games, so-called “system sellers”: manufacturers hope to convince people to buy a console with special games.
In 2023, the exclusive argument does not seem to be as strong as it was a few years ago. Because games like the “Horizon” series, which were long exclusive to PlayStation, or the “Halo” series on Xbox, are now also available on PC. Manufacturers like Sony are bringing more and more former exclusive games to PC.
Manufacturers like Sony or Microsoft develop their consoles for a runtime of several years. Often, they work closely with developers so that you can easily play current games on your console even in 4 or 5 years.
If you buy a console, you get a perfectly coordinated system. Normally, you start your console and can start playing immediately. You don’t have to worry about drivers, software, or other updates. Because the manufacturers have already taken care of that for you.
When you buy a PS5 or Xbox, you get a complete package right away. If you assemble a gaming PC, you can choose from a multitude of different components.
Moreover, both AMD and Intel offer a wide range of processors that you can integrate into your system.
In addition, many components come from different manufacturers. So you can buy RAM from Corsair and opt for an MSI motherboard. But you can just as well go for RAM from Crucial and use an ASUS motherboard.
In the best case scenario, everything runs seamlessly on your gaming PC, in the worst-case scenario, you have to check the individual components if something goes wrong.
The probably biggest advantage: Consoles are easy to use. You connect the device to the power supply, start the console, and in most cases, you can get started right away. With a gaming PC, you may need to make various settings or your game may crash first.
When will the end come for the PS4 and Xbox One? For the old generation, the PS4 and Xbox One may eventually face an end sooner or later. The current consoles are now well available and accessible everywhere. And Sony has already shown that fewer and fewer games will be released for the PS4:
Actually, Arnold Schwarzenegger was not supposed to get the lead role in Total Recall. However, he saved the film by gaining decision-making power over it.
What problem did the film face? Originally, producer Dino De Laurentiis was responsible for Total Recall. However, he did not have Arnold Schwarzenegger in mind for the role of protagonist Douglas Quaid.
His candidates all had a slimmer physique than Schwarzenegger, which would have suited the thin office worker in the story better. The following actors were shortlisted:
Richard Dreyfuss
Patrick Swayze
Matthew Broderick
Jeff Bridges
Christopher Reeve
Schwarzenegger was not considered partly because of his bodybuilder physique and partly because of his concurrent casting in the Conan saga.
But fate was not kind to the film. Another project by De Laurentiis had to be canceled, leading him to file for bankruptcy. Therefore, the release of Total Recall was in limbo.
Here you can watch the MeinMMO trailer for Total Recall:
Select a MMO video…
How Arnold Schwarzenegger Saved the Film
What did Schwarzenegger do? The film rights changed hands for three million dollars to Carolco Pictures. They commissioned Schwarzenegger to take control of the production.
As a little motivation, the actor received a whopping ten million dollars plus 15 percent of the box office gross.
Arnold Schwarzenegger took on the role and made decisions about the film’s cast and script. He placed himself in the lead role, even though he did not have the same physique as protagonist Douglas Quaid.
Therefore, Schwarzenegger simply decided to turn the thin office worker into a muscular builder.
Was the film a success? Total Recall was a major milestone in Schwarzenegger’s career. The film grossed 261 million dollars, ensuring the production team at least recouped Schwarzenegger’s hefty salary.
What Total Recall Is About
In the year 2084, construction worker Douglas Quaid constantly dreams of living on Mars. He therefore books a virtual trip to the planet through the company Rekall Inc. An accident occurs, causing Quaid to wake up with a completely new identity.
He faces nasty opponents, and his wife reveals to him that she is an agent of the Mars dictator Coohaagen. To escape this nightmare, Quaid must travel to Mars and complete the mission that his real self initiated.
The German e-sports organization GamerLegion has signed 5 women on September 23 to form a team in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO, now Counter-Strike 2): A 20-year-old Irish woman was fired on September 25 for racist comments. A 22-year-old Dutch woman also left on September 26 after accusations arose that she was caught cheating and had ‘only become a woman to continue playing CS:GO.’
Who has GamerLegion signed?
The team had hired 5 women who had played for Astralis W in May 2023, operating under the name ‘Let Her Cook.’
The plan was for the women to compete as ‘GL Prism’ for GamerLegion in the Impact League.
But just 2 days later, GamerLegion had to terminate one of the women, 20-year-old Irish KittyTM, due to chat messages that surfaced in which she had made racist remarks.
Counter-Strike 2 is currently the dominant topic in gaming:

Second woman leaves the team just 3 days after signing
This is the new development: A second of the new players has already left GamerLegion on September 26: 22-year-old Luna ‘ManeschijnX.’ She had won the IESF Women’s World Championship in September with Netherlands fe, a prize worth $40,000.
The former CS:GO professional player Esmee Pauw (25, also from the Netherlands) had raised allegations on Twitter against her, claiming that ManeschijnX had hacked under the name ‘Bentas’ and had been banned by FACEIT and in other Benelux events.
Ex-e-sports player accuses the player of only identifying as a woman to continue playing CS:GO
Pauw states that the player changed her gender and ‘became a woman’ to play in a women’s league, allowing her to continue playing professional CS:GO. Furthermore, Pauw says Bentas has made openly transphobic remarks on Steam.
According to Pauw, she forwarded this information with evidence to GamerLegion. She says she is 100% sure that ManeschijnX is Bentas, although Bentas has desperately tried to delete all evidence (via twitter):
If you understand the story, you will see how ridiculous and easy it is for a man to join a women’s e-sports organization just by identifying as a woman.
What does the accused say? She announced on September 26 that she is leaving the team due to the ‘current events.’ She thanks GamerLegion for their support and assurance that she is cooperating with ESL and FACEIT in the ongoing investigation.

Which modes in EA Sports FC 24 offer crossplay? The list of modes with crossplay has been extended.
Newly included are:
Clubs
Co-op season
VOLTA
Ultimate Team co-op in Squad Battles, Rivals, friendly matches
Also still included are:

How do I use crossplay? To play together over crossplay, you need to use the EA Social menu in EA Sports FC 24. There you will find a list of your friends, whom you can then invite to your sessions.
If you receive an invitation, you will find it on the “Game Invitations” screen of the social menu.
Through player search, you can also search for players and add them as friends.
Can I deactivate crossplay? Yes, it is possible. If you do not want to face opponents from other platforms in Ultimate Team, you can deactivate this in the game settings.
This will also reflect in the leaderboards. If crossplay is active for you, you will see cross-platform leaderboards. If you deactivate it, you will only see the top players of your own platform.
The Swedish developers Paradox Interactive are considered geniuses when it comes to turn-based strategy games in historical settings. With “The Lamplighters League” (Steam, Xbox, Game Pass), they are now releasing a new game and wanted to promote it via purchased Twitch streams on September 28. It didn’t go so well, says MeinMMO author Schuhmann.
What kind of game is this?
The Lampglighters League is a turn-based strategy game where you control 3 or 4 heroes and face off against groups of “look like Nazis, but aren’t” henchmen. Gameplay-wise, it resembles a mix of Evil Genius (the strategy map) and X-Com (the fights).
A special feature is that before starting a battle, you have the option to eliminate some enemies. Depending on your character type, you can throw mines, sneak up on them and knock them out from behind, or charge at them.
The game has the look of “The Mummy Returns” films but is also often compared to Indiana Jones.
In early tests, the game received an 82% rating from GameStar , while PC Gamer was less impressed, finding it too grindy, too monotonous, and rated it 62%. On Metacritic, The Lamplighters League has a score of 75%.
On October 3, The Lamplighters League launches – currently, there is a demo available on Steam :

Developers want to promote a game that is not meant for Twitch via Twitch
What is the problem with such a game? Such a game is usually not at all suitable for Twitch. There are at least three reasons:
For one, we Germans like the genre “turn-based strategy game” much more than the rest of the world. Even the release of the similarly positioned Jagged Alliance 3 hardly interested anyone outside Germany. Jagged Alliance 3 currently ranks 552 on Twitch.
Moreover, single-player games are generally difficult on Twitch, especially linear ones, as viewers spoil themselves by watching. Exceptions are horror games, where viewers are happy if the streamer gets scared, or very creative games like Baldur’s Gate 3.
The Lamplighters League has a relatively slow gameplay style, making it not very exciting to watch. The gameplay loop repeats quickly.
In normal circumstances, the game would not interest anyone on Twitch upon its release on October 3.
Paradox books sponsorships with major streamers
This was Paradox’s plan: Paradox Interactive has booked sponsorships with some major US streamers and scheduled them for September 28: The two largest streamers by far were LIRIK (3 million followers on Twitch) and CohhCarnage (1.5 million followers).
These are variety streamers known for having a passion for indie games. CohhCarnage was also the largest streamer for Jagged Alliance 3 and was at the forefront for Baldur’s Gate 3.
Did the plan work? No, unfortunately not. CohhCarnage messed up the embargo and showcased the game on September 27 for 2 hours. On September 28, he followed up with another 2 hours.
Although LIRIK stuck to the plan, he only showed the game for the apparently agreed 2 hours and not a minute more.
Switching from Counter-Strike 2 to The Lamplighters League costs every 2nd viewer
This was the streamers’ problem: Both streamers were live on Twitch with another game and had to interrupt their actual stream to switch to “The Lamplighters League” at the agreed time. This also caused many viewers to disappear:
Lirik had almost 20,000 viewers while he was active in Counter-Strike 2. The drastic change in theme from shooter to strategy game cost him about every 2nd viewer. By the end of the stream, he still had 9,400.
CohhCarnage fared slightly better: Instead of 12,000 viewers who watched him a few hours earlier in Cyberpunk 2077, there were only 7,000 for the strategy game. He was far away from his peak numbers of around 20,000 viewers for the week.
LIRIK didn’t seem too eager to show the game anyway: He ended the game in the middle of a mission when the two hours were up and wrapped it up rather listlessly, mentioning that the game is also available on GamePass.

What would have been better? The significantly better sponsorship partner for Paradox Interactive would probably have been the strategy-oriented German Twitch streamer Writing Bull, who was already looking forward to the game at Gamescom (via gamestar).
He showed nearly 4 hours of “The Lamplighters League” to about 450 viewers, but they stayed engaged. Writing Bull, who also extensively showcased Jagged Alliance 3, likely reached the right target audience for the stream.
Steinwallen, whom Paradox had actually booked as well, did not stream.
Sponsorship money for strategy game only buys a short hype, but it fades quickly
This was the problem: Paradox essentially only bought a “very short” viewership spike with the sponsorship money, precisely in the midst of the hype for Counter-Strike 2 and Cyberpunk.
Once this spike was over, no one showed The Lamplighters League on Twitch anymore: By the next day, only a single channel worldwide showed the game, the German Twitch streamer Moerp with 171 viewers.
A similar experience had to be faced by Amazon with the shooter “Crucible”: Upon release, they bought some of the best and most expensive streamers, but it didn’t help at all, and the game was soon out of the picture.
When is the game coming out? “The Lamplighters League” will be released on October 3 on Steam and will also be available on Game Pass. A demo is already available.
After Destiny 2 has survived a wave of DDoS attacks, the Guardians can once again take on their normal challenges this week, such as a visit to Xur. We will show you what you can expect from the Black Market vendor this time.
What happened this week in Destiny 2? A lot and yet nothing. The players of Destiny 2 had to deal with severe server issues. Enemies teleporting, foes not noticing you, or being kicked from the server were things fans struggled with for several days. The cause is said to be according to Bungie a DDoS attack on the Destiny 2 servers.
It is unclear whether the attackers have stopped or if they are planning their next wave of attacks for the weekend. So be on guard.
Additionally, there is a giveaway on MeinMMO in collaboration with Bungie. You can win a classic emblem, for all those who love pretzels! Here is the giveaway.
Those were the main news, now let’s get to the important things: What Xur is selling and what the Trials of Osiris look like.

Here is Xur: In the winding bay in the EDZ.

In EA FC 24 begins the first major promo with the RTTK event in the FIFA successor. Everything we know about “Road to the Knockouts” can be found here.
Update, 7:00 PM: The official RTTK team is now live and brings the cards that have already been spotted in-game. We see extremely strong offensive cards from Haaland (92), Osimhen (90), and Bruno Fernandes (90). But Saka (89), Mertens (87), and Bonucci (88) also impress.
Here is the official team:
This is how the upgrades work: For a RTTK card to improve, the following must occur:
+1 in overall rating with 2 victories from the remaining group matches
+1 in overall rating upon qualification for the round of 16
Update, 11:30 AM: Currently, a curious error has occurred, as all cards of the RTTK team can already be seen in-game, including their in-game stats. This is much too early, as the entire team is supposed to be presented today at 7:00 PM.
You can find the cards by searching for them in-game as Dreamsquad cards. They will then appear, and you can view the stats in detail. However, the cards should not yet be found in normal packs.
Update, 9:00 AM: Meanwhile, more leaks have emerged that report on even more RTTK cards.
According to the leak, the following should be included:
Haaland
Osimhen
Saka
Bruno Fernandes
Openda
Kalulu
Bonucci
Laimer
Machado
De Paul
Guimaraes
However, keep in mind that these are leaks and the final team may look different.
When does RTTK start? The “Road to the Knockouts” event in EA FC 24 starts on Friday, September 29, 2023, at 7:00 PM. This is confirmed by a new loading screen in Ultimate Team.
What kind of event is this? The “RTTK“ stands for “Road to the Knockouts“ and has been part of Ultimate Team for years. The event usually brings new dynamic cards that connect to real-life football.
These can improve as the real team of the player enjoys success in the Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League.
In the past, this could mean victories or reaching the knockout stages. How exactly the upgrade works this year is still unknown. We will keep you updated.
What you can expect from RTTK in EA FC 24 – Information & Leaks
What does the RTTK event bring? The event will likely bring a new team full of special cards that will be available in packs starting from the event launch. However, the chance of obtaining the cards is low. Moreover, new weekly objectives and thematic SBCs (Squad Building Challenges) are to be expected.
Additionally, it appears that cards for the Women’s Champions will also be part of it. This can be recognized by the new card design on the loading screen.
The first cards are officially known: The official “UEFA Champions League” channel on X (formerly Twitter) has already shared the first 3 official cards. These are:
ST: Openda – RB Leipzig
LAV: Machado – RC Lens
IV: Bonucci – Union Berlin
What do the leaks say? The well-known FUT leaker “Fut Sheriff“, who is known for his reliable leaks, has once again named a few players expected to be in the event.
He mentions new RTTK cards for:
Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United
Saka – Arsenal FC
De Paul – Atletico Madrid
Kalulu – AC Milan
However, note that these leaks are not officially confirmed information. It is therefore possible that these players will not appear in the team or that other cards will be introduced.

Affordable striker talents: Especially affordable talents in the attack can be found in the overview of talents for ST and CF in EA FC 24.
Affordable talents with potential under 1 million market value
What kind of list is this? Here you will find young players who have a maximum market value of one million when you start a new career mode. They may not have the potential to become the best players in the game, but they can become important parts of your team.
They are especially worth it if you are a small club with little money that wants to develop players.
You should note: The values can always change once the career is started. Market values rise and fall, ratings improve. You should keep this in mind when searching for talents.
In the coming days, this list will be supplemented with more talents and positions.
Now the FIFA successor EA FC 24 has finally been released and it’s time to play. However, with the new installment, a lot has changed and it’s definitely worth familiarizing yourself with the changes and the new gameplay. MeinMMO will share some tips and tricks for a perfect start in EA FC 24.
Although EA FC 24 is essentially still a FIFA in a new guise, there are some changes and innovations under the hood that have certainly changed and made the gameplay more realistic.
Our tips will help you celebrate your first successes in EA FC 24.
1. First, learn to defend properly
After your first match in EA FC 24, you may have already noticed: Defending in the FIFA successor has become significantly harder and now requires even more attention. Patience, organization, and timing are crucial here to separate the opponent from the ball at the right moment.
Keep the following points in mind:
Let the opponent come and use sidesteps to stay close to them.
Engage with the new “Advanced Defending” system. This allows you to decide whether to tackle with your upper body or legs.
Focus on large, fast, and especially robust center-backs when assembling your team.
5 important improvements in the career mode of EA Sports FC 24
2. PlayStyles are significantly more important than expected
What are the PlayStyles of EA FC 24? The PlayStyles are a central new feature of FC 24. They give players unique attributes based on their real-life abilities. For example, there are PlayStyles that improve dribbling, provide stronger shots, enable great passes, and more.
The PlayStyles come in 2 variants, with the PlayStyles+ variant offering the biggest improvement.
Why PlayStyles are so exciting: The new PlayStyles make players who have otherwise been quite uninteresting in recent years finally really useful. Because even if a Julian Brandt, for example, does not have the best speed stats, his Tiki-Taka PlayStyle makes him really strong and playable.
This is especially true for difficult passes which become significantly more accurate with this PlayStyle. The finesse PlayStyle is also popular, as it feels almost like a cheat code. Players with this ability can effortlessly score from outside the box.
So, engage with PlayStyles and assess players not just based on their stats. A strong PlayStyle can make a difference on the pitch.
3. Learn the R1 dribbling. It’s OP and leaves everyone behind
Since we’re talking about PlayStyles, let’s introduce the technique PlayStyle, which significantly improves the new R1 dribbling. This PlayStyle suddenly makes players like Bernardo Silva popular because, despite low pace, he can slice through the opponent’s defense.
The new dribbling is called “Controlled Sprint”. It’s a form between normal running and full sprinting.

EA FC 24: How the new dribbling mechanics work
The big advantage here lies in the excellent combination of ball control and speed. It creates a new type of dribbling that can greatly help you navigate through the opponent’s defense. With quick, controlled movements, you can easily maneuver around opponents.
How to use the dribbling: You activate the “Controlled Sprint” by pressing the R1/RB button while steering your direction with the left stick. Then you just need some practice to get into the new movement pattern and effectively maneuver around opponents.
There are still a few details you can consider, and we will reveal them to you here:
Newly added in EA FC 24 is “Precision Shooting”, which you can enable or disable in the gameplay settings. Simply set the “Shot Assistance” to “Precision”.
Now you can determine much more accurately where your shot should land in the goal. This leads to significantly more control and accuracy in shots on goal – however, it takes some mastering. Because really easy precise shots are not simple at the beginning and it is quite possible to miss simple shots entirely.
But after enough training, the precise shots should work much better and give you a real advantage. It’s also helpful to activate the movement indicator in the settings so you can better see where you are actually aiming when shooting.
To properly learn all the previous tips, you can utilize the significantly upgraded training arena. This has become much more extensive compared to the FIFA installments of previous years, offering you the opportunity to train various scenarios.
You can set up as many teammates and opponents as you want on an empty field, establish the rules, and practice gameplay, passes, shots, free kicks, and even conduct real training matches.
So taking a look at the new training arena is definitely worth it.

If you are looking for the best talents for your EA FC 24 career, take a look here:
Anyone who plays Cyberpunk 2077 or has even completed it knows V’s mission and the many obstacles in his path. The base game endings are already very extensive, but with the DLC Phantom Liberty, you can now unlock a completely new ending and its variations.
Warning – Massive Spoilers! This article deals with the various versions of how Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty can end. There is an acute risk of spoilers!
How does the base game end for V? Which of the four endings you get primarily depends on your choice in the mission “Nocturne Op55N1”. However, to have all options available, you must complete the personal quests of Panam Palmer and Rogue Amendiares as well as the previous main quests. Also, pay attention to your sympathy level with Johnny Silverhand.
There is no ending in which you get rid of the biochip. Depending on your choices and gameplay, V either dies or tries in one desperate way or another to find healing. In one ending, V even leaves his body to Johnny Silverhand.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty — Official Trailer
Phantom Liberty: What the new ending includes and how to unlock it
What is different about the ending in Phantom Liberty? If you make the “right” choices, V can survive and there is a bittersweet ending:
You fulfill a mission for President Myers. She keeps her promise and V has the biochip and Johnny Silverhand removed. After two years in a coma, V returns to Night City, but as a “normal” human: V can no longer use cyberware. In addition, many old companions have gone their separate ways and some want nothing to do with V anymore.
How do you get the new ending? In the mission “Firestarter,” you need to decide whether to help Songbird or Solomon Reed. Your decision primarily affects which other quests you will face and what kind of enemies you have to defeat.
With Songbird, you shoot your way to a space shuttle in “The Killing Moon.” There, you send Songbird to the moon to solve her own chip problem.
However, if you call Reed instead and help him catch Songbird, you have to face off against MaxTac units in “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos.” You ultimately capture Songbird.
Song So Mi aka Songbird has her own problems and like everyone in Night City, she has no scruples about using others for her goals.
No matter whom you help: If V is to survive, you must deliver Songbird alive to President Myers.
If you support Songbird, Reed will stand in your way. Hand Songbird over here. If you side with Reed from the beginning, you must capture Songbird. She will ask you to kill her – refuse that.
Editorial tip: After the ending in Phantom Liberty, V is a non-combatant. You can load an earlier save game and explore more of Night City, but you will need to replay the ending. Your completed quests also affect the extent of the ending.
We therefore recommend starting the quests from “Firestarter” only when you are satisfied with your adventures in Night City. You can play up to the base main quest “Nocturne Op55N1” without any problems and still unlock the new, more positive ending for V.
