A musician has been leading the largest gaming show in the world for years and will be crowned the “Santa Claus” by fans in 2025

Sophia Weiss 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Game Awards 2025 are over, all the awards have been presented. However, the community now selects one last winner and calls him the Santa Claus of the Game Awards.

Who impressed at the awards? The musician in question is Pedro Eustache. He plays flute, saxophone, bass, and clarinet. He is known, among other things, for his work on film soundtracks with composers like Hans Zimmer.

He gained real fame in 2022 (via YouTube) with one of his first performances at the Game Awards. Since then known as Flute Guy (Flötentyp), he is regularly celebrated on social media for his performances.

He was also back in 2025 and has since received much support from the community. Along with his regular instruments, he brought a flute made from drainage pipes. Here you can see him during his performance while presenting the Game of the Year nominees:

You are the Santa Claus of the Game Awards

How does the community celebrate? On X.com, Pedro Eustache posted a video in which he presents his flutes. In the comments, users shower him with praise and thanks. Here are some excerpts:

SolAlbertor (via X.com): I need a GOTY for this legend.
FloatyRedHead13 (via X.com): The PVC flute is genius!
Umbral_Ice (via X.com): This is amazing! You are like Cloud with all his swords, but it’s flutes!
Trollstat1212 (via X.com): You are the Santa Claus of the Game Awards, we look forward to your arrival every year and all the joy you bring, Pedro!

The community even posts memes related to this year’s performance:

Why is Flute Guy so popular? There isn’t really a specific, defining factor for his popularity. However, he always plays his flute at performances with immense passion and extreme enthusiasm. During his performances, he switches instruments within seconds. He bobs and even headbangs here and there.

You can really tell his enthusiasm and love for his craft. The community notices this too. vrpancho writes, for example, on X.com: Thank you for showing people how cool instruments can be. You probably helped a lot of kids find their way to music.

WoW Midnight willl be easier, but you need to clear harder dungeons

Cortyn 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft Midnight, you need to raise your level in “Mythic+” to a new maximum. Only then will there be strong loot.

In Midnight, World of Warcraft is not reinvented, but many game systems are refined to make them even better and more accessible. This also means that rewards become stronger as you face greater challenges. For all fans of “Mythic+”, this means they will have to try even harder – because only those who conquer “Mythic+18” will get the best gear.

Start video

WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features

Autoplay

What changes with Midnight? The basic difficulty of dungeons will be slightly reduced. This is mainly due to the “Disarmament of Addons” – as numerous helper addons, like the notorious “WeakAuras”, will no longer work in Midnight. Almost all addons that directly read combat events will have their capabilities drastically limited.

To compensate for this, most fights will be a bit easier. There should be more time to react, and especially dangerous effects will be easier to distinguish from others.

At the same time, the weekly reward from the vault is changing. This now scales not only up to Mythic+10 but up to Mythic+18.

The best loot is only available from Mythic+18

What rewards are there? The loot received from the weekly vault is based on the highest completed dungeon from the previous week, just like it is now. For Midnight, it applies:

Keystone level in M+	Item level vault
2	259 (Heroic 1/6)
3	259 (Heroic 1/6)
4	263 (Heroic 2/6)
5	263 (Heroic 2/6)
6	266 (Heroic 3/6)
7	269 (Heroic 4/6)
8	269 (Heroic 4/6)
9	269 (Heroic 4/6)
10	272 (Mythic 1/6)
11	272 (Mythic 1/6)
12	276 (Mythic 2/6)
13	276 (Mythic 2/6)
14	276 (Mythic 2/6)
15	279 (Mythic 3/6)
16	279 (Mythic 3/6)
17	279 (Mythic 3/6)
18	282 (Mythic 4/6)

Note that the list refers exclusively to the weekly reward from the vault – not to the loot obtained within the dungeon. Additionally, the item level is lower than current item levels, as there will be a “Stat Squish” in Midnight.

Why is this interesting? This change will be particularly exciting for the start of the season. Because those who can earn powerful “Mythic 4/6” items in the first season week will have a significant advantage in the “Race to World First”. At the beginning of a season, the emblems for upgrading items are drastically limited. So if you can snag items that are already at upgrade level 4 out of 6, you need to spend significantly fewer emblems to reach maximum power.

But this is also a good change for all dungeon fans. Because regardless of whether you visit raids or not – being able to obtain particularly powerful items early in the season is an additional incentive for everyone not to stop at “Mythic+10” and to try to tackle a bit more difficulty.
Really powerful items, as all collectors know, are not found in dungeons, but in housing. Even a seemingly simple carpet is completely overpowered.

“This is so disgusting. I love it” – A trailer divides the Game Awards: some love it, others find it too intense

Caroline Fuller 15. December 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

The trailer for the new project by Larian Studios, Divinity, sparked a lot of reactions at the Game Awards 2025, among viewers and fans. While there is a general consensus that it contains intense content, whether that generates excitement or just disgust divides the community. What do you think about it?

What divides the gaming community? The trailer for Divinity, the newly announced project by the creators of Baldur’s Gate 3, made its mark within the community during and after the Game Awards 2025. The trailer shows a celebration filled with joyful and (less) drunken people preparing and celebrating some kind of sacrifice. Larian does not hold back on the gross factor and gruesome content, presenting a trailer that is hard to forget – for both positive and negative reasons. For these reasons and due to age restrictions, it is only available on YouTube, where Larian explicitly states: strictly for adults.

Nevertheless, alongside the eager voices of fans and those who want to become fans, there are some individuals who are not at all thrilled about the way the announcement was made. They express that they find the direction in which Larian is taking Divinity not only disappointing but also regrettable.

A trailer full of blood, horror, and sex, but also humor, that screams Divinity

What do people criticize about the trailer? That the trailer caused a strong reaction and shocked many viewers is undeniable. Based on some community comments, it is clear that there are people who do not approve of this shock factor, especially not during the airing of the Game Awards:

“They pulled the dullest clichés of shocking images, body horror, disgust, and pointless shock sexuality, what’s up with that?” one user comments on Reddit, and users also express on Facebook why they are not convinced by the announcement: “This is one of those things that would deserve a 10/10 with the right audience. But to show it where anyone and their children could see it was, in my opinion, a bit too much. I found the trailer hardcore already, and I’m an adult man.”

However, other users emphasize that this trailer (as it warns from the start) is not suitable for children and that the Game Awards honor and present games that are rated for ages 18 and up.

However, the contrast in their program also shocked adults:

“I find the trailer great, but honestly, I also found it quite frightening. Seeing a man burning alive with supernatural horror effects is not something I expected to see on the same screen where Donkey Kong Bananza was featured” (ianperesmusic under the trailer on YouTube).

Some users’ opinions regarding the disgust should not be dismissed. However, there are voices that recognize the argument and say: “That is so disgusting. I love it” (lolpersephone on Reddit).

What are the enthusiastic reactions to the trailer? Under the trailer on YouTube and on Reddit, fans share how they are absolutely thrilled and looking forward to what Larian revealed to them at the Game Awards, despite – or because of – the intense content:

“The trailer is gross, but I’m not mad about it,” writes lemonandcake13 in the GirlGamers subreddit, “I trust Larian and think it fits well as a successor to BG3. I just hope they find the right balance between quirkiness and darkness.”

Grouchy-Coast does not want to deny the daring step but finds the trailer authentic precisely because of its content, as they shared on Reddit: “This trailer literally screams Divinity every time. It contains blood, body horror, sex, and humor. I think it is even the ‘response’ to all those who say Divinity is a silly, generic fantasy series, even though it includes many of these elements.”

This is what MeinMMO editor Caro says: First of all, I want to say – I have not played any Divinity games yet, but I have become a huge fan of Larian as an absolute BG3 ultra, and I am totally hyped from the trailer to play Divinity itself, as well as the older entries in the series.

Now to the trailer: I did not watch it live, but early at 5 AM on YouTube. Warnings like “for adults only” I rarely take seriously, as the content does not shock me often. And after watching it for the first time, I thought: “Oh man … this is the first genuinely placed ‘for adults only’ that I can remember.”

The visual content is macabre, brutal, and yes, extremely disgusting. But it stood in stark contrast to the celebrations, the joyous people, and that excited clapping child when the man is burned alive in excruciating detail. And it was precisely this contrast that made the scene so grotesque – which is why the trailer was able to capture me completely.

I want to know what the hell is happening in this world that leads to such a scene. It makes me curious about the culture, the dark forces, and the story that Larian is hinting at. Give me the dark cult, fanatical followers, and images that ruthlessly show how horrible all of this is.

Do I want to watch the trailer often? No, certainly not. But for me, it was the absolute highlight of this year’s Game Awards.

The new crafting system in Diablo 4 can deliver absurd results, gifting a player the ultimate item

Benedict Grothaus 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

With Season 11, Blizzard has introduced a new crafting system in Diablo 4: Sanctification. This final step can turn an already good item into an absolute god roll. One player has achieved exactly this and now likely has the strongest item in the game in their inventory.

What item is that?

The Harlequin Crown, or Shako, is considered the strongest item in the game. The mythical headgear can be worn by all classes and is already known from Diablo 2.
Its strength lies in its passive mythical effect, which grants +4 ranks to ALL skills and provides 20% damage reduction.
For many of the best builds in the game, the Shako is a must-have item. Now it might be upgraded to “best” item status.

This is how the super item was created: On Reddit, a user shows their Harlequin Crown with the double effect, so +8 ranks and +40% damage reduction. However, this is not a bug, but a result of the new crafting system.

Sanctification can give an item additional effects and thus create a “god roll.” Among the possible effects are mythical properties, like those of Shako.

The chance to receive a Harlequin Crown is already extremely low – although a trick currently makes it very easy to obtain mythics. Doubling the effect is nearly impossible, but it is achievable nonetheless. According to users, this is also not a bug and is not faulty: the effects stack as intended.

“Builds will soon list this as a requirement”

In the comments, there are immediate remarks that one does not feel happy for the creator. They should shove the item elsewhere – clearly a pointed and non-serious exaggeration, but a certain envy definitely seems to be present.

Other users are more cynical and fear: If such items are possible, they will soon be necessary in builds: “I know you are just joking, but that sounds true and I hate that in build guides.”

Many builds require certain items to function at all. Items like the double Shako are virtually impossible to find, making them an implausible requirement for most players.

The creator themselves states that they do not actually need the crown. They play a Paladin spear build and a Shako does not feel “incredible” to them. Others point out that they now have no choice: the RNG gods have decided that they must play a build centered around the super item.

Sanctification itself is a new mechanic that has not yet quite caught on with many players. It can lead to absurdly strong items, as can be seen here. However, some overlook that this step must absolutely be the last in the process: Players complain that the new feature in Diablo 4 destroys their items – but they just do not understand how it works

He received 11 million dollars to create a series for Netflix: Instead, he preferred to invest the money in a Ferrari and 5 Rolls-Royce

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A filmmaker has been found guilty in the USA of embezzling millions of dollars. Instead of investing the money in a series, he used it to finance a luxurious lifestyle. The series itself has never been released.

A jury in Manhattan found filmmaker Carl Rinsch guilty of defrauding Netflix of 11 million dollars. This was reported by the English-language magazine Techspot.com.

Rinsch allegedly embezzled millions and funneled it into his own account. With the money, he reportedly funded various luxury purchases and speculated with cryptocurrencies. All offenses can be found in the official press release from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

Select a MMO video…

Netflix invested millions in a science fiction series that never aired

What was the series supposed to be about? Rinsch was commissioned by Netflix in 2018 to produce a science fiction series titled “Conquest,” which was originally supposed to be called “White Horse.” Over the course of two years, 44 million dollars flowed from Netflix into Rinsch’s production company to develop the series.

In 2020, Rinsch eventually demanded an additional 11 million dollars, claiming it was necessary to complete the production. However, the prosecution uncovered that Rinsch allegedly embezzled these millions: He reportedly diverted the money through other bank accounts and ultimately transferred it to his own account.

What was he supposed to spend the money on? The U.S. Attorney’s Office lists some items where these 11 million dollars allegedly went.

3.3 million dollars were allegedly spent on furniture, antiques, and mattresses.
2.4 million dollars were allegedly paid for a red Ferrari and five Rolls-Royce models.
Additionally, 1.7 million dollars for various credit card bills.
Furthermore, he is said to have paid about 387,000 dollars for a Swiss watch.
Additionally, he reportedly invested a lot of money in various cryptocurrencies, with varying degrees of success.

What happened to the series? Netflix ultimately canceled the series Conquest in 2021 and wrote off the losses after Rinsch and his company failed to meet the production goals. The streaming giant wrote off a total of 55 million dollars that it had provided, with no funds returned from Rinsch.

How did the case end? The defendant pleaded not guilty. However, the jury concluded that he was guilty and convicted him of one count of wire fraud, one count of money laundering, and five counts of transactions involving illegal property.

He faces up to 90 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for April 17, 2026.

The last anime episode of My Hero Academia makes fans cry, ending an era

Jasmin Beverungen 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After the manga of My Hero Academia came to an end, the anime followed suit. On December 13, 2025, fans of Deku and his friends had to say goodbye. The very last episode moved the viewers to tears.

What was so special about My Hero Academia? My Hero Academia was the ultimate superhero manga for many fans. The stories of Deku and his friends were followed by many fans, as evidenced by the manga’s regular presence in the top 10 on Mangaplus. This indicates how popular a manga is at the moment.

The manga ran for over 10 years. It started in July 2014 and ended in August 2024.
The anime consists of seasons and aired from April 2016 to December 2025.

The manga thus shaped approximately a decade. Only a few anime have managed to do that, which also feature superheroes. Consequently, the end of the anime feels to many fans like the end of an era. Now they are expressing their emotions freely – especially the final scenes of the anime bring some to tears.

Moreover, the collaboration of Bakugo with Ninja Hero: Edgeshot and Fiber Hero: Best Jeanist moved some viewers to tears. Bakugo and Edgeshot share a teacher-student relationship, and Best Jeanist ensures that Bakugo survives the finale.

In the comments, many more heroes are picked and their fates are celebrated. This shows how important each individual hero is for the fans. User Firm-Reason sums it up well: It is both the end and the beginning of an era.

Just before the WoW event of Papaplatte, streamers evaluate who is the best WoW player among them – none of the founders manages to take 1st place

Johanna 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Christian “Vlesk” Scheitzeneder, along with Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe, shared his assessment of his colleagues’ skills for the upcoming WoW event.

What kind of event is it? The Twitch streamer Vlesk is participating in the upcoming WoW Hardcore event, like many other German-speaking content creators. On December 27, 2025, the Twitch streamers will start in World of Warcraft Classic, playing in Hardcore mode. This means they have, like the American guild OnlyFangs, only one attempt with their character.

The project has the official name “Sauercrowd” and was musically opened by a legendary bard in the WoW community. The event is now in its final stages. Recently, it was decided whether to play in the Horde or Alliance faction.

The Twitch streamer Vlesk is using the weeks before the event to assess his teammates’ skills in WoW. He even created a tier list for this purpose.

Start video

These are the 5 most relevant German streamers on Twitch in 2024, according to Google

“How good are his old withered hands still?”

What kind of list is that? Vlesk divides his list into different ranks (from high skill to lower skill):

Classic Godgamer
Guild Carry
easy 60
Will see Molten Core from inside
Grinder, will bite
Could, but will wave a flag
A case for the ☠️ compilations
Proximity Voice & Content Legend
Annual pass for the starter area
Don’t know well enough

Where are the founders? Most of the participants are in the middle range, but one thing stands out: On the top spot, none of the founders of the event can be found. Neither HandOfBlood, nor Papaplatte, nor Metashi can be found in the rank of “Godgamer”.

At least HandOfBlood is in second place as “Guild Carry”. It is assumed that he can carry the guild through the game in case of emergency.

When assessing HandOfBlood, his extensive knowledge of World of Warcraft was positively highlighted, but Kutcherlol questioned: “How good are his old withered hands still?” (Source: YouTube from minute 32:15).

He further noted that HandOfBlood “grossly overestimates his skills in many games.” Initially, HandOfBlood was placed in the rank of “Godgamer”, but was later pushed down one rank.

Metashi follows HandOfBlood with the assessment that he would easily reach level 60, which is the maximum level in WoW Classic. Papaplatte is the last among the founders in the ranking; according to his colleagues’ assessments, he should at least manage to complete the first raid, Molten Core.

Whether the assessments will hold true remains to be seen. From December 27, 2025, the Twitch streamers will have to prove how good they really are in WoW Classic.

Depending on how their skills are, it can also be deduced what role the Twitch streamer is suitable for. The assignment of roles has already been contested: Even before the big WoW event on Twitch, participants are squabbling as no one wants to take on a role

A player shows his worn out Xbox controller after 10 years and everyone knows immediately: “You are not a camper”

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A player shows his controller, which he has been using on his Xbox for 10 years. And the community is surprised that the controller has held up until today.

A player posted a photo in a Reddit post, where you can see the thumbstick of his Xbox One controller. The picture shows that the stick is completely worn out. The plastic surface has lost a lot of material and is no longer black, but white from heavy use. He comments with the words: “Can you tell that I mostly played first-person shooters, where you run forward a lot?”

In another post, he adds that his controller has not yet experienced stick drift, a widespread issue like the one with the Switch. The problems are so extensive, that you can exchange your broken Joy-Cons for free at Nintendo. The user also added that so far only the A button on the controller sometimes triggers double:

And as far as I can tell, it has 0 drift. The only issue is that the A button sometimes double presses. But everything is still clicking and tight. I think the stick will break in half before the controller stops working at this point. It will outlast the console.

The consideration of cleaning the inside of the controller is rejected by him out of concern that the controller might not function afterwards and would let him down after 10 years.

Community is impressed that the controller has lasted so long

How does the community react? The community immediately sees in the post of his controller proof that he cannot be a camper. Because for that, the stick, with which you move, is way too worn out. Someone writes on Reddit:

At least we know you aren’t camping! That’s crazy, I should have looked at my sticks when I was younger during the COD4/GOW times.

Many explain that their own controller has never lasted that long. Sooner or later, stick drift has always been a problem and the controller was hardly usable. Another one adds that 10 years for a controller that is used daily is quite a long lifespan.

Under the post, however, many users also discuss whether everything was better in the past. But how much is there to this “things were better in the past” discussion actually?

Basically, Microsoft has revised the controller for the Xbox One several times. Many adjustments have been well received by the community. The controller is said to have been slightly improved in haptics, grip, and features in later revisions. Later models, among other things, received Bluetooth support, a changed surface structure for more grip, and minor detail adjustments to housing and materials.

Subjectively, there are users who find early controllers more robust, but overall, the build quality of later revisions (starting from Xbox One S) is at least considered equivalent, often somewhat higher quality.

A character is the coolest character in the series about Fallout, but how did he actually become an immortal ghoul?

Christoph Waldboth 15. December 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In the games, but also in the series of Fallout, there are Ghouls. These are strange beings that somewhat resemble a corpse, but usually appear very lively. What is the deal with these creatures?

Anyone who has played Fallout or seen the related series on Amazon Prime knows them: Ghouls. At first glance, they resemble corpses that are not as dead as they look. After all, their skin is decayed in most cases, sometimes looks charred, and has holes in it.

In the Fallout series, which will receive a second season starting December 17, 2025, a Ghul plays an important role who was also part of Season 1: the former Hollywood actor Cooper Howard, who roams the wasteland known as “the Ghoul” after the Great War.

Creatures like him are completely normal on the surface of the Fallout world, after all, there are far more terrible things – but what has led to Ghouls like Cooper Howard looking like this?

Start video

The official trailer for Fallout Season 2 takes us back to the apocalypse

Autoplay

Radiation doesn’t have to be deadly

What did Ghouls look like in the past? Just like most Ghoul beings from Fallout, Cooper Howard was also a human. However, there are also animals affected by the phenomenon. Basically, what happened to them is: they mutated because they were exposed to the dangerous radioactive radiation of the wasteland for too long and in constant small amounts. Or they were part of experiments that turned them into Ghouls, which is particularly unlikely in the case of Cooper Howard.

Many beings are killed by radioactive radiation in a very painful process, where a mix of bleeding and necrosis causes the affected to meet their demise. In some cases, however, the opposite happens, and a human slowly mutates into a Ghoul – including some practical abilities.

Anyone who has seen Fallout Season 1 knows: Ghouls like Cooper Howard can be very resilient. Normally, they survive injuries that would be fatal to ordinary humans. This is because the bodies of Ghouls can heal their own wounds. Additionally, further radiation encountered in the wasteland does not cause harm anymore.

For this reason, Ghouls live much longer than humans and can even be considered immortal. This is also evident in concrete examples: Many of these mutated beings experienced their transformation during the Great War in 2077, but still roam the wasteland over 200 years later – for example, in Fallout New Vegas, which takes place in 2281. The Amazon series, by the way, takes place even later, namely in 2296.

Clair Obscur will not commit to any “real” ending, yet is already working on a sequel

Can Ghouls actually not die? Yes, they can. If violence is used against them and essential parts of their bodies are destroyed, it is also over for Ghouls. This is particularly evident in the games, where Ghouls are a type of enemy. But not only that: in some cases, Ghouls can also be encountered in a friendly manner as NPCs. Some even have quests for the player.

Here it is important to emphasize that there are mainly three types of Ghouls:

Intelligent Ghouls: This includes the Ghoul from the Amazon series and various quest givers from the games. This type behaves similarly to a human, can think and speak normally. Just like humans, these Ghouls pursue their own goals and act well or evil.
Wild Ghouls: This form often appears as an enemy in the game. They cannot think normally, but behave as their instincts dictate. Visually, they appear even more decayed than their intelligent relatives.
Glowing Ghouls: A hybrid of the other two, the Glowing Ghouls have received significantly more radiation and therefore glow ominously. Among them, there are both wild and intelligent Ghouls. Because they are considered an exception among their kind, they are often ostracized.

The latter applies to Ghouls in general: Because they are eerie and often unpredictable beings, and simply “different” from humans, these mutants experience discrimination. Some, like the Ghoul from the series, seem to be completely indifferent to this – if in doubt, the cool guy just shoots his way through. By the way, his actor has a clear stance on gaming: The coolest guy from Fallout Season 2 has never played the games and wants to catch up “only in a few years” for good reasons

5 strong backgrounds in Dungeons & Dragons that make your backstory an advantage in the game

Caroline Fuller 15. December 2025 Reading time 7 minutes

Backgrounds in Dungeons & Dragons ensure that your backstory not only tells an exciting story of your character, but that you can also use your past to your advantage. We present the top 5 in this list on MeinMMO.

Backgrounds are a relevant part of character creation before sending your hero on adventures with others. Most of these heroes do not start directly as heroic superstars, as everyone starts small. Therefore, your characters need a background and backstory that give them personality, a reason to travel, and also certain advantages.

The background also provides information about the most formative place of life, profession, and general life before their adventure.

In this list, we want to mention 5 particularly useful backgrounds, which, alongside providing a base for your characters’ origins, offer particularly good bonuses through strong ability score increases, skills, and talents. We are using the latest Player’s Handbook from 2024 for this.

Start video

The trailer for Critical Role’s The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime shows the first conflicts that the “heroes” have to struggle with

Autoplay

With the new background system from 2024, you will receive:

3 options for ability score increases
1 heritage talent
2 skills in which you are proficient
1 tool with which you are proficient
Starting equipment worth 50 gold

This is an important note, as backgrounds were handled differently along with the choice of race/species in older D&D books. The Player’s Handbook explains it as follows:

Backgrounds and species from older books

Backgrounds in older D&D books do not contain ability score adjustments. If you use a background from an older book, adjust your ability scores by increasing one score by 2 and another by 1, or alternatively three scores by 1.

[…]

If the background of your choice does not grant you a talent, you gain a heritage talent of your choice.

With this explanation, older backgrounds can also be used with the rules from 2024. However, the list refers only to those from the new Player’s Handbook. Thus, you can use the mentioned placements with the new standard equipment.

Rank 5 – Entertainer

Ability scores: Strength, Dexterity, Charisma
Talent: Musician
Skills in which you are proficient: Acrobatics and Performance
Tool with which you are proficient: Musical instrument
Equipment: Either A) Musical instrument (as above), two costumes, mirror, perfume, travel clothes, and 11 gold, or B) 50 gold

Entertainers in Dungeons & Dragons are described very similarly to a typical bard: they have spent most of their youth performing occasionally as a musician or acrobat at fairs or in the circus. They may be talented at playing an instrument, putting on acrobatic shows, or reciting stories and poems. They love applause and enjoy being on stage, which makes the background perfect for a bard.

However, this background is so exciting because, by making this choice, you can give any character the flair of having taken bardic influence, even if they play a completely different class.

With strength and dexterity, you don’t have to sacrifice ability points if they are particularly important for your build and can still be capable of playing an instrument to entertain (or distract) people.

With the heritage talent Musician, an entertainer can play a song on their instrument after each short or long rest, granting several team members (depending on the number of proficiency bonuses) Heroic Inspiration. This can be used by a character to reroll a die immediately after the first attempt. This can be extremely useful in critical situations, even life-saving.

Every group can therefore be happy to have an entertainer in the team they can benefit from – they just have to listen attentively to their songs.

Expedition 33 offers players new bosses, pushes the difficulty to the limit, leaving everyone in despair

Jasmin Beverungen 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has announced new content at the Game Awards 2025. It is so challenging that even players who have faced the toughest boss on expert difficulty are pushed to their limits.

What kind of content is that? At the Game Awards 2025, Clair Obscur won many awards. As a thank you to the fans for their support so far, the free update “Thank You” was released as patch 1.5.0.

There is a new playable area called “Verso’s Drafts”. You can reach it in Act 3 and experience more details about the story of Verso. Besides new gear, abilities, and outfits, there are new bosses that players can challenge.

The developers have reportedly made the bosses so outrageous that players are now struggling with them – even though the hardest boss from the main game was easy for them so far.

New bosses drive players to frustration in Expedition 33

How difficult are they? In addition to the chromatic lamp master, Osquio, and a “Divergent Star” version of Simon, there are also new bosses in the Endless Tower that serve as endgame content. And these are the ones that drive players to despair, as can already be seen in the Reddit thread “Are the DLC bosses the hardest ever in video games?”

Here, a player reports that he spent many hours trying to defeat Osquio. He was stuck in his last fight for 1.5 hours, only to mess up the gradient attack at the end. For him, the fight was instantly over; he couldn’t revive any team member or use the reserve team:

So I have to endure those 1.5 hours again without failing, just to get another chance, and I will probably fail again at the gradient attack? I mean, overall this DLC is fantastic, but honestly, I hate this part. I probably won’t try again; I don’t have 8 hours to maybe get 5 attempts to parry something that leads to instant death.

Other users advise him to tweak his team’s builds, as 1.5 hours is just too long for the fight. With level 99 and the right build, Osquio should go down according to another fan in just 2-3 minutes.

Another player on Reddit is further along. He writes that he needed only 2 attempts for Osquio on expert difficulty, and even Simon would’ve met his demise after only 10 attempts.

The biggest challenge for him is the final bosses in the Endless Tower. He believes he has never encountered such hard bosses in his life. Each of his team members reaches 2 to 15 million damage, but that is nowhere near enough.

Other users on Reddit share his opinion and find that the new bosses are not fun. He wouldn’t want to “sacrifice most of Sunday to get pummeled by bosses, as they literally require perfect parries.”

WoW Legion Remix: Farming bronze is easier, it has been massively buffed

Cortyn 15. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

If you want to farm bronze in WoW Legion Remix, you should start now. Blizzard has drastically improved the rewards.

The current event in World of Warcraft, “Legion Remix”, has recently taken a bit of a back seat. This is mainly due to the extensive housing. However, many still use the event to level up quickly or earn great rewards for bronze. Those who found it not fast enough now have a new incentive: The bronze rewards have been massively improved.

Start video

Autoplay

What is the problem with Legion Remix? Those who need all the rewards from Legion Remix because they previously owned nothing from this expansion need a bit more than 6,000,000 bronze – that’s quite a hefty sum. Farming this requires a lot of time, and those who don’t start farming early may struggle now, as the event only lasts for about another month.

What has been changed now? In the US WoW forum, Blizzard explained the hotfixes that went live on December 12, 2025. Almost all the major bronze rewards have been drastically increased again, in most cases even doubled. Especially completing the research quests, as well as the emissary missions, is now significantly worthwhile.

More bronze everywhere

What changes were announced in detail? The following changes have been announced and are already live:

Raid bosses now drop “Small Bronze Stash” on all difficulties – so each time 2,500 bronze.
Hellbeasts of the Lost Legion now drop “Large Bronze Stash” (12,500 bronze) once per day and account.
Eternal research now grants a “Small Bronze Stash” (4,000 bronze) for each quest.
Legion invasions grant a bronze stash (7,500 bronze).
Emissary quests now grant a “Large Bronze Stash” (12,500 bronze).
World bosses now always drop a “Small Bronze Stash” (4,000 bronze).

Additionally, Legion invasions now occur much more frequently. They should rotate 375% faster – so a new invasion every few hours.

Until when do you have time? Those who want to earn the various rewards should free up some time during the Christmas holidays. Because Legion Remix is active until January 20, 2025. After that, the event will disappear and many of the rewards will no longer be available.

If you have already finished with Legion Remix and would rather focus on housing, we can also assist you further. Because we have a list of many secret housing items that you wouldn’t have thought of …

German WoW event on Twitch has decided on a faction – HandOfBlood is desperate because even his girlfriend votes “incorrectly”

Benedict Grothaus 15. December 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The German guild Sauercrowd faced perhaps the most important decision of any player in WoW: Horde or Alliance? In the end, the choice was quite clear and doesn’t please guild co-leader HandOfBlood at all.

What is this event about?

Sauercrowd was founded by Twitch streamer Metashi12. The idea is a WoW hardcore guild like OnlyFangs with over 200 German streamers, including HandOfBlood and Papaplatte.
The project is supposed to be really big with a lot of external support: there is an addon specifically for the guild and Twitch will set up a category for the streamers, as was mentioned in the latest stream.
However, even before the start of the event, there were arguments about the role choice of the members – now an even bigger dispute has erupted over the choice of faction.

This is how the decision went: Horde vs. Alliance is a question that has divided the World of Warcraft community at least since 2005, and there will likely never be a clear answer. Although the factions are becoming closer and closer, both Horde and Alliance have strong identities that players like to belong to.

Accordingly, it was difficult for a mixed group like Sauercrowd to come to an agreement. Members were to prepare and present pleas to convince others of “their” faction. This was all broadcast live on Twitch on December 12 at 6:00 PM, featuring the appearance of a singer well-known to any German WoW veteran.

In the end, there was finally a vote. Of the over 200 members, 131 participated and delivered a clear result: with 76 to 55 votes, the Alliance won, much to the dismay of Horde supporter HandOfBlood, who expressed his frustration several times during the pleas, sometimes banging on the table.

Especially bitter for him: his partner Tamina publicly spoke in her speech for the Alliance (on HandOfBlood’s stream from hour 04:30:35). Tamina emphasizes that she wants to relive the experience of the famous “South Park” episode and not just “see a tree every 500 meters.” HandOfBlood refrained from commenting after that.

“I am an absolute Horde fan – And that’s exactly why I will vote for the Alliance”

Anyone interested in the event or already a WoW fan and looking for something to smile about should definitely watch all the pleas (in the stream from hour 03:53:43). Most speakers voiced support for the Alliance with arguments like:

the nicer areas
more aesthetic races
real cities and not a capital that looks “like Frankfurt Central Station”

There were also more creative speeches, such as that all important inventions (fire, electricity, lasagna) come from Humans – not Orcs. And streamer Mowky, who desperately wants to play a Night Elf, even bribed by saying she would come to the next gamescom in cosplay if the guild joins the Alliance.

More on the topic

WoW gives new meaning to 30-year-old story, changes great heroes of the Alliance

The story of World of Warcraft to date – the whole lore summarized

A very convincing argument ultimately came from Sieglinde, one of the biggest German WoW streamers on Twitch:

Hello, I am sieglinde and I am an absolute Horde fan. And that’s exactly why I will vote for the Alliance. Everyone knows that the most development time has gone into the Alliance areas and quests, which is why quest areas and lore are better designed. […] The Alliance is simply better for a HC event. We, inexperienced (sic!) WoW veterans must not be selfish and must set aside our own wishes.

Rather, it is our responsibility to provide the best experience and present WoW in its best light. The guild leadership has always emphasized: newcomers must be helped. And the best help at the start is not to make a wrong decision in the faction choice. That the Alliance is better for beginners is also said by Metashi – right?

Counterarguments from the Horde meanwhile were that the Alliance stinks, is annoying, is dumb and that the Horde is simply cooler and tougher. If you already play hardcore, you also want the right challenge and not the “easy mode.” Moreover, the goal is not to shower, which fits the Horde.

After the decision was finally made, the members immediately set to work selecting their races via a quiz – which all participants then have to commit to and stick with. For the three leaders, the results are:

Papaplatte plays a Dwarf
HandOfBlood will play a Human
and Metashi also starts as Human in the project

Among the over 200 guests are a host of well-known streamers like Goldgoblin, Chefstrobel, Maurice Weber, Hauke Gerdes, and Honeypuu. Many of the participants have never played WoW. An invitation was, however, declined: While the German Twitch is still playing Minecraft, streamers are planning the next big event – but MontanaBlack was not invited

Players complain that the new feature from Diablo 4 destroys their items – They just don’t understand how it works

Nicole Wakulczyk 14. December 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

With Season 11, the Sanctification came to Diablo 4, a crafting system that allows you to enchant items in unpredictable ways and grant them random effects. Many players take this step too early and thus “destroy” their loot.

This is Sanctification: Sanctification was introduced with Season 11 in Diablo 4 and represents the final step in the crafting process of your items. You grant an item a random effect, after which it can no longer be modified.

With Sanctification, you can:

apply an additional legendary property,
enhance an affix to a major affix,
add an additional affix from a special set of Sanctification affixes,
replace an existing affix with a Sanctification affix (not for Unique and Mythic Uniques!)

With a bit of luck an item can even gain a mythical property through Sanctification. One player showed on Reddit a legendary sword that gained the property of Harlequin’s Crown, namely damage reduction and +4 ranks to all skills.

Especially the fact that no further adjustments can be made after Sanctification currently causes frustration. Because this also means that you can no longer add gem sockets afterwards. A minor detail that makes a big difference in gameplay, as many are now painfully realizing.

Start video

Diablo 4 showcases its new features from Season 11 in the gameplay trailer

Autoplay

Adding sockets is also a crafting process

What causes misunderstandings with Sanctification? Many players are now aware that Sanctification is truly the last step in crafting and that neither hardening nor perfection is possible afterwards. However, what is often forgotten: Adding gem sockets also counts.

A player therefore reminds on Reddit to think about sockets before Sanctification. He himself forgot this step and wants to prevent others from making the same mistake. Gems provide strong bonuses and it’s correspondingly annoying when you can no longer use them. However, gems that have already been inserted can still be swapped in sanctified items.

Other players additionally remind that you should also imprint the highest level of aspects on items beforehand, as this is also no longer possible after Sanctification.

Sanctification is not possible at any time

Another point causing confusion among players is that it is not possible to sanctify items at any time. Although you can use the portal to the Celestial Forge and the Sanctification Altar at any time in a major city, the altar cannot always be clicked. This is because you can only perform Sanctification if you:

defeat a “Minor Evil” before the torment levels and spawn a portal – for example, when you have defeated Duriel in the Hell Flood.
receive so-called Celestial Seals at the torment levels, with which you can teleport to the Celestial Forge.

When a portal to the Celestial Forge spawns, the following warning is displayed: “The Celestial Forge has enough power to sanctify an item. The forge loses its power as soon as the portal closes.”

ARC Raiders: Hurricane Caches – Every Location on All Maps

For experimenting while leveling, for perfecting in endgame

This is how the feature is received: Overall, Sanctification has been positively received in the community so far. Many players see it primarily as an exciting feature for experimenting while leveling, before getting to the really important items. It is also practical that Sanctification costs nothing; you just need access via a random portal or a Celestial Seal.

Some players are bothered that the randomness principle from the hardening system was removed and shifted to Sanctification. Others counter on Reddit that Sanctification is designed exactly for making perfect items even stronger, ideally when you have a backup. Those who cannot afford this risk do not have to use the feature. It is optional, not mandatory.

After the PTR, the developers also made adjustments. Replacing existing affixes with Sanctification affixes is no longer possible for Uniques and Mythic Uniques. Previously, there were concerns that their strong, unique properties could be overwritten by useless effects.

Generally, players seem satisfied with the new Season 11 and the state of Diablo 4. The new class, which came as a surprise, is well received. The Capstone dungeons are also praised.

We start our list with the Christmas event of MontanaBlack. This entry took place last year but is sure to be huge again in this year’s edition on December 21. Co-hosting is Twitch streamer Zarbex, the brand ambassador of GÖNRGY, the beverage brand of MontanaBlack.

It would probably be quicker to list who from the German-speaking YouTube and Twitch bubble was not invited to this event.

At the Christmas event, guests can participate in various activities, including skiing. Each invited Twitch streamer also had the opportunity to stream on their own Twitch channel.

A big part of the Christmas event was the Secret Santa gift exchange. Content creators were supposed to bring a wrapped gift with a number assigned to it. One by one, content creators could then draw a number and receive and unwrap a randomly selected gift.

The content creators Ronny Berger, Zarbex, Schradin, Aditotoro, Paul Frege, Nici Stemmler, Adam SkylineTV, and Marc Eggers completed the route from Amsterdam to Hamburg with a bike powered by a treadmill. To power it, steps needed to be taken on this treadmill.

During this tour, there were always small or large accidents. For example, on the first day, the group was stopped because they were riding on the road instead of the bike path.

A 10-year-old game on Steam suddenly has 11,000 players: The reason is an item that is being sold for 1 cent

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. December 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A game on Steam suddenly has 11,000 players and reaches its own record. But why are thousands of people suddenly playing an ancient game? Players from the community explain: These are bots farming an item to sell it later.

What kind of game is this? Secret of Magia is an “RPG Maker” game that was released on Steam in August 2015. The price is about 2 euros and the reviews are rather mixed.

Most of the time, the player numbers fluctuate in the low hundreds, but no large player counts. However, at the beginning of December 2025, things suddenly looked different: From December 4 to 9, 2025, the game according to SteamDB had over 11,000 players at the same time and even reached its highest player count ever. But why does a game suddenly have so many players after 10 years?

Bots are farming Steam trading cards from a game and selling them for cents

Where are all the players coming from? Both on Reddit and on Steam there are discussions about why such an old and rather mixed game suddenly has so many users. But the answer is surprisingly simple. The vast majority of them are said to be bots that start the game to farm Steam trading cards.

Secret of Magia Steam Charts — Secret of Magia suddenly has over 11,000 players on Steam and reaches its highest player counts ever.

These cards have a sale value of only 1 to 2 cents, but this can still be worthwhile for certain individuals in countries with low income. Players buy a key for one cent, let the game run for 2 hours, and collect the trading cards. They then sell these cards for one cent. The cards can be obtained multiple times. One user explains on Reddit:

The [selling of the cards] yields a profit of 2-4 cents – not much, right? Now scale that: 9,000 bots buy the game for 0.01 cents and bring you each 3 cents – boom, then you have 270 US dollars from an investment of 90 dollars.

Players rejoice: “The voting seems to be working”

What kind of game is this? Warhammer: Dark Omen is a strategy game that uses early 3D graphics. Accordingly, the game appears graphically outdated today. Unlike many modern titles, Dark Omen is not set in the grim future of Warhammer 40,000, but in the original Warhammer Fantasy. Here you can learn more about the different worlds of Warhammer.

In the game, you build a small, powerful army: You buy new units such as cavalry, archers, or wizards and improve your troops through various missions. Then, you fight on different battlefields and try to defeat your opponents.

You do not build a base or buildings. The focus of Dark Omen is on real-time battles – basically Total War, just without turn-based strategy.

In Dark Omen, you take on the role of Commander Morgan Bernhardt, leader of the mercenary army Grudgebringer, and fight against the hordes of darkness.

Why has the game returned now? On GOG, you can vote for games you absolutely want to see available for purchase on the platform through the so-called GOG Dreamlist. Among the wish candidates are classics like “Diablo 2” and “Battle for Middle-earth,” which many users have been wishing for a long time.

With Warhammer: Dark Omen, at least one game has successfully made it to GOG, receiving around 15,000 upvotes on the Dreamlist. A reviewer on GOG writes:

The voting seems to be working. I remember voting for it months ago, and now I’ve been notified that it has finally happened!

GOG itself states on the shop page that they have significantly improved and modernized the game, ensuring that it now runs on modern PCs: There should be 4K and widescreen support, smoother graphics, and significantly improved stability. They have also resolved various issues so that the game works flawlessly on modern systems again.
