Model faces massive criticism for provocative “disguise” as Twitch streamer Amouranth

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

The biggest streamer on Twitch, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa (28), revealed on October 16 that she is married and being blackmailed by her husband. Now, a cosplay model has come under fire for dressing up as Amouranth. Twitter users accused her of making light of domestic violence.

Here’s the background: In a shocking stream, Amouranth explained on October 16 that she has been married for years but had to keep her marriage a secret. Her husband is threatening and blackmailing her.

In the following days, the 28-year-old freed herself from her husband’s control and wanted to take back her life.

Twitter users are outraged by “tasteless” cosplay

Which cosplay is it about? An erotic model who operates online under the name Ellie Rae caused a stir with a costume that many considered in bad taste.

The cosplay bore an unmistakable resemblance to Amouranth’s outfit from her emotional stream. Additionally, the model wore restraints on her legs and feet. She posted the images with the caption: “When I stop streaming for the simps, he teaches me a lesson.”

The caption appears to be a reference to Amouranth’s allegations against her husband: He is said to have forced her to stream, threatened her dogs, and controlled her finances.

However, Ellie Rae did not explicitly state that she wanted to portray Amouranth.

How was the reaction? Mostly critical. Several internet personalities shared the images on Twitter. The streamer Chloe “Chlooeeeexo” wrote that it is the most tasteless tweet she has ever seen (via Twitter).

Journalist Jake Lucky wondered what is wrong with people.

Similarly, the comments reflected this judgment. One user even suggested that they were only being held back from saying what they truly think by Twitter’s terms of service (via Twitter).

Critics are criticized themselves

What troubles the readers? The comments under Jake Lucky’s post quickly divided into two camps. While there was mostly agreement that the photos were inappropriate, the manner of reporting did not receive unanimous approval.

Some Twitter users expressed concern that the cosplayer would only gain more attention this way – and that is apparently exactly what she wants. At least the journalist should have censored her name, according to one comment (via Twitter).

Others argued that a problem cannot be solved by ignoring it. Holding those responsible accountable is important; otherwise, they could simply act as if nothing happened in a few months (via Twitter).

The cosplayer herself has not yet responded to the criticism. However, she did remove the relevant post.

More Twitch news on MeinMMO:

The discussion about the real Amouranth does not cease. In addition to her husband, she also made allegations against her former employee and cameraman. He is said to have relayed information against her will. He is now commenting on the allegations.

Leave WoW Guild: Which command to use?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

How to leave the guild in WoW? You can do this with a simple command in the chat, which we will show you here.

What is it about? In World of Warcraft, you can join guilds to level up together, chat, or raid. If you decide to leave the guild at some point, you just need to implement it in the game.

The command to leave a guild:

  • Open your chat with “Enter” and type “/gquit” and confirm with “Enter”
  • Warning: You will not be asked to confirm – Once you confirm your message with Enter, you will be directly out of the guild
  • Tip: Avoid embarrassment and type /gquit without quotes in the chat. Otherwise, the message will end up in the chat without effect

Leaving the guild without a chat command: The second way to leave a guild in WoW is via the guild menu.

  • Open the guild menu with “J” and right-click your name in the player list
  • Click on “Leave Guild”
  • You will now be asked if you are sure you want to leave the guild
  • If you confirm that, you will leave the guild
WoW-Guild-Leaving-Menu-Game

Both versions work in WoW and in WoW Classic.

Leaving the guild as a guild master – Here’s how

What you need to know: If you are the guild master and have members, you can appoint another player as master before leaving your guild.

But what if you are the guild master of a guild with no members?

Here is the command for guild masters:

  • With “/gdisband” you can completely dissolve a guild without members

We hope that we could help you with our guide and that you were able to leave your guild as you wanted. If you are looking for a new group to play with, check the trade and search chats. Guilds are often advertised there.

In the guild browser, you can also search for communities

In the current WoW (not Classic), you will find a guild browser on “J” if you don’t have one yet. There you can specify what role you play and introduce yourself briefly in a comment. The guild masters can then view your application and decide if you fit the guild. You can also set in the search filter what kind of players you are looking for.

The latest features in Destiny 2 are being celebrated – But fans believe they are also harming the game

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, Bungie delivered some innovations, including the overhaul of the Light class to 3.0, as well as the introduction of the weapon crafting with the Enclave on Mars. Many players celebrated these features, but some fans believe they might do more harm than good to the loot shooter.

Which innovations harm Destiny 2? When the release of Witch Queen took place, Bungie announced many innovations for the loot shooter. Among them are the adjustments of all Light class to 3.0 level, as well as the implementation of the weapon crafting.

Although many Guardians were initially skeptical about weapon crafting, many were excited about the rework of the old classes. Countless build possibilities and adjustments to personal play styles brought gleaming eyes to the Guardians.

But now that enough time has passed and Guardians were able to extensively test the changes, some players believe that the innovations do more harm than good to the game.

The biggest enemy in Destiny 2 is relevance

Why do these innovations harm? The reddit user Arkyduz aptly summarized this situation and stated: “Crafting and 3.0 have actually harmed the game in a way because the game around them can’t keep up. 3.0 classes are so strong that a large part of the content can’t keep up with the slaughter and crafting has triggered something in us where people no longer care about random drops and solely and obsessively chase the crafted guns.”

The Crucible

The Gambit

The Vanguard
Three great activities share the same dust

And by “game,” core activities in Destiny 2 are primarily meant. So while everything shines in a new light, it becomes clear which aspects in the space shooter deserve attention, and those are the core activities. Modes like the Vanguard Strikes, the Crucible, and the Gambit.

These aspects haven’t received a facelift, maps, mechanics, or anything similar for many years. With new powers and weapons, Guardians go into the old modes and tear apart everything and everyone.

Reddit user elmonkeeman further clarifies the situation and believes that the old activities were not designed with the thought of entertaining Guardians with the strength they currently possess.

Essentially, this is a matter of relevance that is lacking in many areas around Destiny 2. It is therefore not enough for a small part to be updated. If the Guardians become stronger, the activities also need to be adjusted accordingly.

More in Destiny 2 can be found here:

Could this situation change? Bungie revealed many innovations of the loot shooter in its huge reveal event for Lightfall. Among them is a dedicated LFG and a voting system for Guardians in-game. However, many details have yet to be disclosed.

The development team is likely keeping a close eye on many issues, including the outdated activities. However, how priorities are set and whether upcoming innovations will soon be planned for your core modes remains to be seen.

One thing is certain, Bungie listens to its community and wants to provide them with a cool and relaxing atmosphere to take down aliens. This also includes these core activities. It’s only a matter of time before the development team presents its ideas to the general public.

What do you think about Bungie only improving you and your weapons, while the most important aspect of the game still collects dust? Do you also find that the innovations of Witch Queen have shown that the old activities finally need a facelift? Let us know!

A shield from WoW Classic is still considered one of the best transmogs – Here’s how to get it

Marius Mach Marius Mach Reading time 3 minutes

In WotLK Classic are Protection Warriors and Protection Paladins on the hunt for a very specific item: The “Crest of Lordaeron” is not only a very good shield for any tank, but it also looks damn good! MeinMMO explains how you can easily get the Crest.

What makes the shield so special? The “Crest of Lordaeron” is one of the best items for tanks. The crest offers a large amount of stamina, strength, defense rating, and especially hit rating. The hit rating makes the shield so valuable, as it is harder for tanks to achieve this in WotLK than the required defense rating. Only with enough hit rating can they build up sufficient threat.

Currently, you can hardly get a better shield. Many tanks use the crest due to its stats even late into the expansion and into the last raids. In the first 3 raids of the expansion, the item is still considered one of the best choices.

This makes the shield even more special: The “Crest of Lordaeron” impresses with its appearance: while most shields in WoW Classic look rather brutal, this shield appears much nobler in comparison. It is colored in the classic colors of the Alliance, blue and gold, and proudly displays the crest of Lordaeron in the center.

It’s no wonder that the item from Wrath of the Lich King is a popular transmog item. Whether you’re adventuring in WotLK Classic or hunting for transmog in modern WoW, the Crest is quite easy to obtain. You just need a bit of luck.

In Dragonflight, Blizzard is bringing a change that finally makes transmog farming easier.

Check out the epic trailer for the Gate of Wrath here:

Start video
WOW WotLK Classic: Die Pforte des Zorns

How to get the “Crest of Lordaeron”

Where does the item drop? If you want to snag the royal shield, you must visit the dungeon “The Purging of Stratholme” (also: HdZ 4) on heroic difficulty. This applies to both WotLK Classic and modern WoW. This dungeon is located in the Caverns of Time in Tanaris, and you can easily and quickly get there through a portal in the Violet Citadel in Dalaran.

The “Crest of Lordaeron” can be obtained from a chest that you can open once you have defeated the last boss Mal’Ganis. With a drop chance of about 16 percent, however, you may need to visit the dungeon multiple times before you are successful.

More about WotLK Classic on MeinMMO:

What to watch out for? In WotLK, you need a group of 5 players to successfully complete the dungeon. Even on heroic difficulty, it’s not particularly hard. In modern WoW, however, you should be able to manage it without any problems alone. Although the dungeons take a bit longer, you can have a lot of fun in Wrath of the Lich King even with little time.

The suitable mount comes along with it: While you fight against the undead Scourge in Stratholme, you should definitely try to defeat the Eternal Corruptor before time runs out. This is an additional boss that is only available in heroic mode. If you succeed before time runs out, you will receive the Reins of the Bronze Drake. An epic mount with a flight speed of 280 percent.

But don’t make the same mistake as a tank who was also hunting for good loot. He behaved rudely towards his teammates, insulted them, and even kicked them from the group. But when it came to the loot, he experienced a nasty surprise:

Discord is finally testing an important feature on the PS5 – Is voice chat coming soon?

Maximilian Maximilian Reading time 2 minutes

For many PC gamers, Discord has been indispensable for some time now. Since the beginning of the year, the communication tool can also be linked with the PS4 and PS5. However, the most important feature has been missing so far: voice chat. Now there are finally hints that this could come soon.

Since January 31, it has been possible to link your Discord account with your PSN account (via PlayStation.com). This allows you to display on Discord what game you’re currently playing. This can help you find fellow players who are currently playing the same game and is especially useful for crossplay games.

However, the most important feature of Discord – voice chat – has not been possible on PlayStation until now. However, there are now first indications that this could finally change soon.

Discord Voice Chat on the PS5

What are these hints? On October 23, screenshots from the mobile app of an American Discord user appeared on Reddit and Twitter, showing the integration of voice chat for the PS5 for the first time.

With the new feature, it will finally be possible to seamlessly continue your Discord call from your PC or mobile app on the PS5. However, it is not clear from the screenshots whether you can also start these directly from your PS5.

It is already clear, however, that the feature will unfortunately not be possible for the PS4. While this is unfortunate, it is also understandable, as the console does have its issues with multitasking.

The Discord voice chat will not replace PlayStation’s original party and voice chat function but will be available in addition to it.

The Discord voice chat for PlayStation is long overdue

When is the feature coming? Since the Discord voice chat for the PS5 is still in a testing phase, it is not yet clear when the feature will finally be available for everyone. As of today, October 24, the beta of the new function was still not available in Germany.

For some time now, the implementation of this feature has been a major wish of the community. The fact that it has taken this long is especially disappointing, as Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, stated at the beginning of the partnership between Sony and Discord in May 2021:

Our goal is to closely link the Discord and PlayStation experiences on console and mobile devices starting early next year, so that friends, groups, and communities can meet, have fun, and communicate more easily while playing games together.

Jim Ryan, head of Sony, via sie.com).

On the Xbox, it has been possible for some time to use Discord’s voice chat. The feature is also very popular there, which is why we hope that the implementation for the PS5 will go as smoothly.

Here, a beta update was initially rolled out for Xbox insiders and later made available to everyone.

Twitch streamer Trymacs deletes the team in FIFA 23 that cost him 21,000 €: “Better late than never”

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Twitch streamer Trymacs has drawn a line under FIFA 23: In the stream, he deleted each card of his insanely expensive team – one after the other.

In recent weeks, Twitch streamer Trymacs has caused quite a stir with FIFA 23.

But what happened to the team that was created in FIFA 23 for a total of €21,000? This question was answered by Trymacs on Friday evening, October 21.

Trymacs removes each player individually from his FIFA 23 team

This happened in the stream: In the “Just Chatting” channel, Trymacs spoke again about FIFA 23 and Ultimate Team. He criticizes the loot box mechanics clearly and says that one should definitely stay away from it.

He spent €21,000 within 7 days for the game: “And now thrown away. But well, better late than never,” Trymacs says about it – and deletes each individual player from his team.

Expensive and rare players, icons and heroes, Ronaldo, Jairzinho, Mbappé, Pelé – all gone. “This is even crazier than just deleting the game,” says Trymacs in the stream. In the end, only the bronze card of Niklas Sommer remains in the team.

For this, Trymacs chooses the “Quick Sell” option in FIFA, where you do not put a player on the transfer market, but simply “delete” him for a fraction of his value. “I don’t want to encourage anyone to get the players,” Trymacs says about this: “One can retrieve three players, but I won’t do that.”

He describes the action as a “painful end”, which makes the line “much clearer for many”, according to Trymacs.

He does not want to harm his viewers through pack openings; the risk of imitation is too high: “I won’t play for the next few years either. I made a huge mistake; I shouldn’t have started FIFA at all.” He intends to donate the revenue generated by the video.

More on this topic on MeinMMO:

In conclusion, Trymacs deletes FIFA 23 from his PS5. This seems to mark the end of Trymacs’ FIFA career for good.

The loot box mechanics have been criticized not only since FIFA 23. For years, it has been criticized that one can invest real money in packs in Ultimate Team, which only offer low chances of getting strong players. So one does not know what exactly one is ultimately spending their money on. More about the chances in FIFA 23 packs can be found here.

Final Fantasy XIV names new NPC after a well-known Twitch streamer – At least he thinks so

Anny Anny Reading time 2 minutes

In Final Fantasy XIV there is a new NPC named “Osmon.” Fans and the streamer himself believe that he is named after Asmongold, who is referred to as “Asmon” for short.

With the Update 6.25 came new dungeon variations to the MMORPG, which provide players with a particularly challenging experience.

Even before the announcement of this update, Asmongold conducted an interview with producer Naoki Yoshida, during which he asked whether more challenging content is planned for 1-4 players. The answer at that time was initially vague: “Of course, it’s a possibility,” the director said.

Square Enix apparently names an NPC after Asmongold

The NPC through which you unlock the new content is named Osmon. Although he bears no physical resemblance to the streamer, it is apparent that he is indeed named after Asmongold.

Is Osmon really Asmongold as an NPC?

“There is an actual character in the game based on me. I think that’s pretty funny,” the streamer remarks. He himself seems convinced that the NPC is indeed named after him.

Users on Reddit are also certain: The NPC must be named after the streamer. In Asmongold’s subreddit, user Historical_Paper4110 shares the requirements to enter the Criterion Dungeons and emphasizes the name Osmon. “The FFXIV NPC that the content was asked about by Asmon is called… Osmon,” he writes.

More about Final Fantasy XIV on MeinMMO:

This is how the community reacts: Fans of the streamer make many puns about Asmon and Osmon under the post. There seems to be no doubt that the NPC is related to the streamer. Here are a few impressions:

  • Eldrichdragon9: “Here’s your boy Osmongold, live from Old Sharlaya.”
  • Giftwhixt: “OsmonAurum, live from The Aurum Vale!”
  • BlackStabbathOG: “When he grants you access to the content, he hits you with a sly: ‘Here it is, dude‘.”
  • Eldrichdragon9 then: “And he wiggles his eyebrows.”

The numerous jokes suggest that the community celebrates Osmon just as much as Asmongold.

What do you think of the new NPC? Do you believe the name Osmon definitely has to do with Asmongold, or is it perhaps a coincidence? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!

Steam breaks its all-time record for user numbers – 2 online shooters are currently the top games on the platform

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

The number of players on the Steam platform has been growing over the years. On October 10, 2022, Steam reached a new record for player numbers. There were not even that many users at the start of the Corona pandemic. Currently, two well-known MMOs are ranked 1 and likely contributing to Steam’s success.

Steam, the gaming platform of Valve, launched in 2003. Since then, Steam has continued to grow, and users can now access numerous game titles from various developers and publishers through the website.

But not only has the number of available games grown over the years, but also the number of users on the platform.

On October 23, 2022, Steam reached a new record for player numbers. Two well-known shooter MMOs occupy the top spots in terms of bestsellers and the most played title, and they could be contributing to the current success on Steam with their player base.

Here you can see the trailer of a new free-to-play shooter on Steam:

The steady growth of simultaneously logged-in players over the years is clearly recognizable in another graph on steamdb.

Since the launch of the platform in 2003, the community has continued to grow, reaching significant milestones over time: In August 2015, Steam broke the 10 million mark; in March 2020, it then reached 20 million users. Now, in October 2022, 30 million have been reached.

How high were the numbers during the Corona pandemic? There was a massive peak during the week when the WHO classified Covid-19 as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Here, the number jumped from around 20 million logged-in users to almost 24 million.

Which games are currently “bestsellers” and “most played” on Steam? In the Steam ranking, two shooters currently occupy the top spots on the lists.

The top-selling title is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the latest installment of the well-known shooter series, whose campaign you can already play.

The most played title is currently Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, also a shooter with multiplayer mode. At the time this article was written, there were about 592,410 players in CS:GO.

More about Steam can be found here:

How many people actually played this? The roughly 30 million users were logged into the platform; however, not all of them were actually playing a game. For this, steamdb.info provides further information:

LoL: 26-year-old veteran defeats the total underdog world champion spectacularly – Cries on stage

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

On Sunday, October 23rd, there was a quarter-final of the highest class at the Worlds 2022 in League of Legends. Team DRX actually had hardly any chance against the world champion EDward Gaming. In the game, everything initially went against the Koreans: DRX was already 0-2 down and seemed destined for the flight back home. But then luck turned. For the 26-year-old ADC of the team, “Deft”, it was a very special moment. Because the people he was up against were his teammates 10 years ago.

Who was playing?

  • DRX (South Korea) had a strong team in 2020 because they brought in star player Chovy and the brilliant coach cvMax. However, DRX fell apart after 2020 and did not play a role in 2021. In 2022, DRX acquired the supporter from DWG KIA, Beryl, and former ADC Deft, but only just managed to scrape by in 6th place in Korea and was considered among the 8 Asian teams as “the weakest team.” They had to go through the Play-Ins.
  • They faced the Chinese team EDward Gaming, which had surprisingly become world champions in 2021. In 2022, EDG had already eliminated Fnatic in their group but fell short against T1 twice. EDward Gaming has a star player in the bot-laner Viper, and otherwise, EDG is staffed with first-class players like Scout (mid-lane) or Meiko (support).

In the “Best-of-5” series, it was about qualifying for the semi-finals against Gen G. – the loser would fly home.

Start video
The LoL Worlds 2022 have their anthem – Song shows e-sports as anime battle, excites the fans

How did the match go? The match played out as expected in the first two games. EDward Gaming was superior to the Koreans:

  • In match 1, mid-laner Scout played outstandingly on Azir with 9-1-6
  • In match 2, top-laner Flandre was strong with 5-0-2 on Jax and Viper on Aphelios with 8-2-4. Match 2 was something special.

One hit from victory, DRX loses everything

When did it seem like DRX was just cursed? It was thought the series was practically over after match 2, as the end of match 2 was brutal:

The DRX team found themselves at a disadvantage in the end game and knew that they would lose the match in the next teamfight: Therefore, they risked everything and launched a “backdoor” attack, directly attacking the opponent’s base without looking for a fight.

And it seemed that the surprise attack would succeed.

The ADC of DRX, Deft, was on the verge of destroying the opponents’ Nexus, who were busy with Baron, but at the last second, the inhibitor of EDG respawned, the Nexus became immune, and the returning players of EDG finished off Deft, leading to the loss of the match.

It was heartbreaking because DRX was only milliseconds away from victory.

At that moment, one thought: Deft and DRX would not recover from this bitter defeat.

This must be a scene for every LoL player where you can feel the pain of the attackers:

First an absolute blow, then the reverse sweep

This is how it turned out: But the turnaround came in match 3: In a 42-minute battle, DRX was able to win. ADC Deft overcame the psychological blow and played strongly on Draven with 5-1-2.

This turned the momentum, and DRX accomplished the reverse sweep: That’s what it’s called when a team wins 3-2 after being down 0-2.

Zeka finds God mode on Sylas

Who played the decisive role? The mid-laner of DRX, Zeka, had a stellar day in game 5 with Sylas, playing 10-2-4. On reddit people speak of a God mode that he reached.

Also outstanding was supporter Beryl with champions like Ashe or Karma: The supporter has always been a beast but was overshadowed by the star-studded DWG KIA against Showmaker and Canyon.

Emotions run high after the match

The touching scene after the game: In an interview after the match, the 26-year-old ADC of DRX, Deft, was seen nearly breaking down on stage.

Deft has been playing LoL professionally for 10 years. But only now could he make it to the semi-finals of the LoL Worlds for the first time in his career. For him, it was a special match, as Deft played in 2015 and 2016 alongside Scout and Meiko at EDG and made a name for himself back then.

He was also part of the DRX team that fell in the quarter-finals at the Worlds in 2020, which then fell apart, while Scout and Meiko became world champions in 2021.

Additionally, he was also celebrating his birthday for the match on Sunday – and not many LoL players reach the peak of their careers at the age of 26.

This can happen – in 2020, jungler Pyosik was completely broken when everyone left DRX. Pyosik was also the jungler for DRX this time

Clip from the campaign of CoD Modern Warfare 2 impresses fans with realism: “That’s pretty creepy”

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

A video from the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is making the rounds. Fans are thrilled by the level of detail and how realistic the game looks – and a little bit frightened as well.

What kind of video is it? The clip shows the mission “Special Craft” from the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This is the fourth of 17 missions in the campaign.

In the mission, you are in Amsterdam and need to locate some members of a cartel and take them in for questioning. The whole thing takes just about 5 minutes, including the camera ride at the beginning.

The environment and the city itself are so detailed that it sometimes feels like the mission is actually a real movie.

The campaign of MW 2 lasts only between 5 and 9 hours, so you can experience the mission quite quickly yourself. We have embedded the introduction to the mission here for you:

“The realistic environment is already a bit creepy”

This is how fans react: The campaign of MW 2 is already well received by players. The level of detail in the mission specifically amazes players. It is said to be the most realistic representation of Amsterdam in a game.

Some even remember “turning a few dowels” right there. A user on YouTube, who claims to be from Amsterdam, praises:

I am incredibly impressed by the level of detail in the level. All the stop signs in the scenery are really there. Even the advertising banners on the bridge against public drinking were part of the city initiative that took place there.

Another user expresses his discomfort. The realistic environment is already “creepy” when you consider that someone you walk past in real life could be involved in cartel activities.

YouTuber buys a ready-made gaming PC for 5,000 euros – But it causes him a lot of trouble

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The well-known tech YouTube channel Gamers Nexus bought a gaming PC for 5,000 euros. However, he is not really happy with the device, as it has numerous flaws. External damage from transport is just the beginning.

If you want to have a new gaming PC, you can either build a computer yourself or buy a pre-built PC from a manufacturer. Many gamers also opt for such pre-built PCs:

  • The hardware is already configured and the BIOS is set up
  • Windows is often pre-installed as well.
  • The price is slightly higher than self-built devices, but the risks on paper are initially lower, because everything works.

The well-known tech channel Gamers Nexus has now purchased a pre-built PC for 5,000 USD. However, the team is only facing a lot of trouble with it.

“One of the most disappointing builds we have tested so far”

What kind of PC is this? The Skytech Mark 9 comes from the PC builder “Skytech”. Inside there is an i9-12900K and an RTX 3090 Ti. Since the release of the RTX 4090, this is no longer the fastest build of a gaming PC, but it is still extremely fast.

What problems are there? However, the team around Steve has not had much joy with the system. Upon the first glance, the YouTuber notices damages on the outside of the case, and even inside, the CPU cooler is bent.

However, these cosmetic damages are not the only issues, as the gaming system also has many errors:

  • The cables are glued and can hardly be removed.
  • Loose screws are flying around inside the case
  • Temperatures are way too high, which is mainly due to faulty fan setup (100 degrees on the CPU).
  • Incorrectly configured BIOS, XMP is turned off or everything is on default.
  • There is a lot of bloatware pre-installed.
  • A mouse and keyboard are included, but they are only functional and are nothing special.

How does the YouTuber react? He is quite disappointed and especially surprised. Because the last two complete systems that the team from Skytech tested were quite good and even received a recommendation from Gamers Nexus. That’s why Steve Burke is so surprised that this system is so bad this time.

Who is Gamers Nexus anyway? Gamers Nexus is one of the most well-known tech channels on YouTube with around 1.8 million subscribers. The team around Steve Burke tests computer hardware, gimmicks, and other relevant tech products. The channel once tested a huge computer fan that was officially supposed to be just a joke:

Pokémon GO: All Spotlight Hours in October 2022 and their Bonuses

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

All Spotlight Hours in October 2022 at Pokémon GO in overview. We show you all Pokémon, bonuses, and times and explain which Shinies you can find and if the events are worth it.

What are Spotlight Hours? Every Tuesday evening from 6 PM to 7 PM, a Spotlight Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. During this time, a Pokémon is in focus and spawns almost everywhere in the wild. At the beginning of the month, the developers announce which Pokémon will be the center of attention during the events over the next weeks.

These events typically come with bonuses that affect more Stardust, more XP, or more candy. Here we show you an overview of which Pokémon with which bonuses have been selected for the Spotlight Hours in October 2022.

All dates of the Spotlight Hours in October 2022

These are the dates: In October, you can expect four Spotlight Hours. The following Pokémon and bonuses will be in focus:

DatePokémon & Bonuses

Below, we will go into detail about the individual Pokémon and their bonuses and show you if the date is worth it.

Spotlight Hour on October 4

Which Pokémon? In the first Spotlight Hour of October 2022, you will encounter Furfrou. This Pokémon belongs to the Dark type and comes from the fifth generation. Its evolution is Kleoparda.

Pokémon-GO-Rampenlichtstunde-Felilou-Titel

What bonuses do you get? For evolving Pokémon, you receive double the amount of XP.

Who is it worth it for? Neither in PvP (in Trainer battles) nor in PvE (in raids) are Furfrou or Kleoparda interesting. For cat lovers, the Spotlight Hour may be worth it. But not if you’re looking for strong attackers.

Can you catch Shiny Furfrou? No, Furfrou is not yet available as Shiny in Pokémon GO.

Spotlight Hour on October 11

Which Pokémon? The second Spotlight Hour in October 2022 brings you many Gengar spawns. The Pokémon is the evolution of Gastly and comes from the 1st generation. Gengar belongs to the Ghost and Poison types and can evolve from Haunter.

Pokémon-GO-Rampenlicht-Stunde-Alpollo-Titel

What bonuses do you get? For catching Pokémon, you receive double the amount of Stardust.

Who is it worth it for? The Spotlight Hour should be really worth it for most of you. Because Gengar’s evolution is strong and should not be missing in any collection. Additionally, you have good chances for many XL candies. Why the Spotlight Hour in October with Gengar is so good is explained in an article.

Can you catch Shiny Gengar? No. Although there is Shiny Gengar already in the game, you cannot catch evolved Pokémon as Shiny during the Spotlight Hour. However, those who secure a shiny Gastly can evolve it into Shiny Gengar.

Spotlight Hour on October 18

Which Pokémon? The third Spotlight Hour in October 2022 brings you Yamask from the second generation. It belongs to the Ghost type and can evolve into Cofagrigus.

Pokémon-GO-Rampenlicht-Stunde-Traunfugil-Shiny-Titel

What bonuses do you get? For catching Pokémon, you receive double the amount of experience points.

Who is it worth it for? Neither Yamask nor its evolution Cofagrigus is of particularly great importance in Trainer battles or raids. Use the event mainly to gather experience points. If you are still on the road from level 41 to 50, you can collect well here.

Can you catch Shiny Yamask? Yes, you can catch the shiny version of Yamask in Pokémon GO.

Spotlight Hour on October 25

Which Pokémon? In the last Spotlight Hour of October, Shuppet is in focus. It belongs to the Ghost type, originates from the third generation, and can evolve into Banette.

Pokémon-GO-Rampenlichtstunde-Shuppet-Titel

What bonuses do you get? For evolving Pokémon, you receive double the amount of experience points. Additionally, Niantic mentions another bonus. “Take your buddy with you to experience something special at the beginning and end of this Spotlight Hour.” What exactly that means is unclear.

Who is it worth it for? Shuppet is not particularly strong as an attacker. Banette at least performs decently in the Super League in Trainer battles and is also average in raids. Nevertheless, the event could be worth it because of the surprise that Niantic plans for the beginning and end of the event.

Can you catch Shiny Shuppet? Yes, you can catch Shiny Shuppet in Pokémon GO.

For FIFA 23 next Wednesday, TOTW 6 (Team of the Week) is scheduled. At MeinMMO, you will find out which players could be included in the new Team of the Week.

What is the Team of the Week? Every week, EA assembles a new TOTW. This team consists of 23 players who stood out with strong performances during the past football weekend.

As a result, they receive a spot in the Team of the Week, as well as improved Inform cards, which can be found in packs for one week.

These are TOTW Predictions: In the TOTW Predictions, we present forecasts from the FUT community regarding the new TOTW. The performances of the players are closely examined, and predictions are made.

However, it is important to note that the predictions do not guarantee the final Team of the Week 6.

They provide a good overview and can also be used to earn some coins in FUT 23.

When does TOTW 6 come out? The Team of the Week 6 will be released on Wednesday, October 26 at 7:00 PM in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

The possible Bundesliga players in TOTW 6

These Bundesliga players could make it: This week, according to predictions, 2 players from the Bundesliga could be included in the new TOTW. The candidates are:

  • Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund had an outstanding match against VfB Stuttgart. In the 5:0 victory, the Englishman even scored 2 goals. A performance that the midfielder would deserve a TOTW card.
  • Junior Dina Ebimbe played an important role in Frankfurt’s 3:1 victory against Gladbach. The right-back performed strongly and even managed to score a goal. Whether that is enough for an Inform card, we will see on Wednesday.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 offers a story campaign with 17 missions and 17 rewards. All information about the content, playtime, and what happens after the end can be found on MeinMMO.

The campaigns of Call of Duty are filled with action, scripted scenes, and polished cinematics. The new CoD: Modern Warfare 2 is no exception. For some players, the campaign is even the main reason to check out the latest Call of Duty each year.

CoD MW2 tells a story about drug cartels, terrorism, and the iconic Taskforce 141 featuring beloved characters like Captain Price, Soap, Ghost, and Gaz. The missions themselves also brim with nostalgia and references to the earlier Modern Warfare games.

Here you will find:

Update, October 24: We have updated the article after the campaign went live.

We embed the story trailer for you here:

Since October 20, 7:00 PM, the campaign is online. This applies to all available platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Battle.net launcher). The full release will be on October 28.

How do I get into Early Access?

You need a digital pre-order for this. The offer is really only valid for digital versions. If you buy a physical edition with a CD, the campaign will also start for you on October 28. Here you will find all information about the pre-order.

Modern Warfare 2: Campaign – The Story

The story is a continuation of Modern Warfare 2019. If you want to understand all the connections in the game, you need a playthrough of the old campaign. Because CoD MW2 takes place three years after the events of CoD MW 2019.

However, the old story is not really necessary to be able to experience the new one.

The trailer above for the story includes a line that describes the situation very well. A prisoner is being interrogated and says: ‘Terrorism is good for business. As long as you wage war on terror, you’re only half-heartedly fighting against drugs.’

Captain Price and his warriors of Taskforce 141

Accordingly, the story is a wild mix of opaque motives – who works for whom and why? In any case, there is a need to thwart the plans of the villains.

The story takes place partly in Mexico. You pursue arms dealers who are colluding with a terrorist organization: Al-Qatala. The group was already the driving evil force in CoD MW 2019.

The Shadow Company is also involved and works with you, as well as General Shepherd – an old acquaintance from the earlier Modern Warfare games.

Story does not end with the campaign

Like Modern Warfare 2019, CoD MW2 continues the story in upcoming service content.

Back then, the coop mode “Spec-Ops” was another source for story snippets, and smaller story pieces came in through the live service from time to time. Even a connection to the “Black Ops” universe was established … and the CoD zombies.

CoD MW2 would also like to utilize its own game modes:

  • The new PvE raids in Modern Warfare 2 (December 14)
  • The DMZ mode in Warzone 2.0 (November 16)
  • Spec-Ops mode (October 28)

There are also leaks that a DLC with new story content is planned. The rumor persists that there will be no new CoD for the first time in nearly two decades in 2023. However, a story DLC that continues the narrative is expected. This has not been confirmed yet.

Modern Warfare 2: Campaign – Rewards

For your progress in the campaign, you will receive items for the multiplayer modes. Here is the complete list sorted chronologically by their unlocking in the game:

CoD Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Length – How many missions are there and how long do they take?

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is playable even before the release of the multiplayer. MeinMMO reveals how long it takes you to complete the missions.

How long does the campaign take? The duration of the campaign is, according to various sources, between 5 and over 9 hours on normal difficulty. If you rush through the missions, you will be faster.

If you take your time, choose a more cautious approach, or want to dive deeper into the immersion, expect a little more playtime. Either way, the campaign should be completable in about 2 evenings.

You can find all information about the campaign in 2 minutes here.

How many missions are there? There are 17 missions waiting for you in the campaign. The fastest missions among them can be completed in just 5 minutes, while others can take up to an hour.

Modern Warfare 2 could receive a story DLC in 2023, which will likely bring more content to the campaign. As it stands, CoD 2023 may not happen and instead, new content for CoD MW2 could be released.

You will receive various rewards for the missions such as tokens for double experience points, emblems, or operators. After completing the campaign, there is also a weapon blueprint.

The multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2 starts on Friday, October 28. Here you find the most important multiplayer content and in the video parts of the graphically impressive Amsterdam mission from the campaign:

Campaign 8 Days Early – Fans Are Excited

The campaign of Modern Warfare 2 is highly regarded by players, partly because it is playable earlier than the multiplayer. Some fans explain that they usually only play CoD for the multiplayer.

However, now that the campaign is available earlier, they check it out and are thrilled by the visuals and the story. Hearing the operators’ voices gives them “goosebumps” and at times it is hard to distinguish the scenes from those in a movie.

Criticism primarily revolves around the design of some missions, such as the stealth missions. However, the negative feedback is limited.

MeinMMO editor and CoD expert Maik Schneider feared even before release that the campaign would affect him emotionally:

FIFA 23: 5 Tips to Score More Goals in Ultimate Team

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 4 minutes

You have just started with FIFA 23 and are looking for ways to score more goals? We will look at simple tips that can help your offense.

FIFA 23 brings some changes to gameplay compared to its predecessor. This can result in familiar patterns no longer leading to goals as consistently as before.

For new players, it can also be difficult at the beginning to break through the opponent’s defense with the offense. That’s why we are gathering some tips here that can help you achieve success more quickly.

[toc]

Use the 2 best shots in FIFA 23

Which shots are worth it in FIFA 23? Currently, two types of shots have emerged as the favorites among many players.

The first is the “Outside Foot Shot.” You can activate it by pressing L2/LT and the shoot button when you charge the shot to three bars.

Position yourself best diagonally in front of the goal at the edge of the box and then send the outside foot shot into the far corner. You can find out more about the outside foot shot here.

The second shot is the “Power Shot”. This is a new feature in FIFA 23 that allows you to unleash an extremely powerful shot on the opponent’s goal.

You activate the shot by simultaneously pressing L1 + R1 or LB + RB and the shoot button. Then, a longer animation starts in which your player charges and fires the shot.

What it looks like can be seen in the video:

Start video
FIFA 23: Use the power shot correctly – This is how you score epic goals

The shot is difficult to aim and can be blocked by the opponent during charging, so you are taking a risk. However, a well-executed power shot is virtually impossible for the keeper to save.

A high pass into the run is strong in FIFA 23 – also because of “Lengthy”

In FIFA 23, something has changed in gameplay. Players are not as agile as before, and dribbling is currently not as effective anymore. Therefore, many players prefer a good passing game.

A popular trick is currently the “High Pass into the Run.” You activate it by pressing L1/LB and the triangle/Y button. Your player then sends a pass into the path of an attacker, ideally over the defenders.

But which attackers are worth it as receivers? Currently, many players swear by cards with the “Lengthy” running style. These are typically bulky, tall players, who however become faster when sprinting. They often have speed advantages over players who are not “Lengthy”. Some criticize the running style as overpowered.

However, the combination of “Pass into the Run” and “Lengthy” striker is very dangerous and can give you one or two goals.

Some players can also be transformed into “Lengthy players” through Chemistry Styles. Here you can find 20 players that you can make faster with the “Lengthy” trick.

Learn good skill moves – like the “Heel to Ball Roll”

Even if dribbling this year is not quite as strong, skill moves can give you the decisive advantage in tight situations. You can find some strong skill moves for FIFA 23 here.

In an interview with eSports athlete Henning Wilmbusse, the pro recommended the “Heel to Ball Roll”: This is a new and simple trick in FIFA 23 that is perfect for tight spaces.

  • Hold L1/LB and flick the right stick first in the running direction and then against it

Your player will then perform a trick that fakes a heel-to-heel in a straight line but then slightly goes to the side, allowing him to maneuver past opponents.

You can see the trick here starting at 0:36 in the EA video on YouTube:

Trick your opponents with creative runs

Influence the running paths: You can control the running paths of your players to some extent. The simple version works like this:

  • With L1/LB you send a targeted player forward
  • With R1/RB you bring a targeted player to you

But there is also a slightly more complex version: the creative runs. These have been around since FIFA 21, but if you haven’t used them yet, it may be worth learning.

Here’s how creative runs work:

  • You send a targeted player forward with L1/LB as above
  • Now flick the right stick directly in the direction the player should run
  • This allows you to precisely dictate where the player should run – and you can play a pass into the run there
FIFA 23 Creative Runs
The coach can show you the direction of the creative run with small arrows

With creative runs, you can send your players on unusual and unexpected running paths that your opponents do not anticipate. In tight games, this can provide a decisive advantage – but it takes some practice.

Don’t waste free kicks and corners in FIFA 23

What are set pieces? Set pieces in a football match refer to free kicks and corners. You will also get them in FIFA 23 from time to time – but it is not so easy to convert them into goals.

It can be worth establishing a technique that you can use repeatedly and perfect.

We have summarized which ones are suitable:

In the heat of battle, one is quickly tempted to execute set pieces “somehow” and as quickly as possible. But this can also mean that you unknowingly waste a scoring opportunity.

What experiences have you had with FIFA 23 gameplay? What tricks do you use, what techniques have been successful for you? Share your tips in the comments!

A good formation can also lead to your offense being more efficient and scoring more goals. Regarding “Formation and line-up in FIFA 23”, we show you tips from the pros.

Overwatch 2: Bad combo makes it easy to achieve total team kills

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A nasty trick in Overwatch 2 leads to multiple kills, as the combination of two specific characters is virtually unavoidable.

With Overwatch 2, many of the existing heroes have been significantly overhauled, and one of the biggest changes concerns Orisa. The Omnic tank has received fundamentally new abilities, making her quite strong in stopping enemies’ advances. However, her ultimate ability is devastating – if it actually hits targets. And there’s a trick to help with that.

What is Orisa’s ultimate? The ultimate “Terrawoge” (“Terra Surge”) pulls all enemies within a certain radius towards Orisa. The ability then begins to charge, causing massive damage around Orisa after the time has elapsed. The ability can be triggered early, but the damage is reduced if that happens.

Link to the Reddit content

The challenge here is that the enemy characters have a few seconds to escape after being pulled in. If you want to deal maximum damage, it may happen that the enemies have already escaped the influence of the ability. Therefore, you often have to trigger the ultimate prematurely and accept reduced damage.

More about Overwatch 2 can be found here:

How does the trick work? The “trick” is a combo with the damage-dealer hero Symmetra. She still has the ability in Overwatch 2 to place a teleporter. Allies can enter it to be teleported to another spot where Symmetra has placed the second teleporter.

In fact, the teleporter allows immobile characters to reach higher places, take certain shortcuts, or simply move behind the enemy – but another trick is possible with Orisa’s ultimate.

While Orisa is charging her Terrawoge, Symmetra can simply place the teleporter under Orisa. The counterpart will land among the enemies, who for the moment believe they are safe.

However, just before the ultimate fully takes effect, Orisa steps through the teleporter – this is also possible while the ultimate is already active!

This creates quite a surprise and nearly guarantees a multi-kill, as very few characters survive the full damage of Orisa’s ultimate.

Meanwhile, the trick has gone around the subreddit for Overwatch, and many are trying to replicate it. Sometimes it works better than other times – but it always results in a lot of fun.

Do you know other combinations of this kind that cause particularly astonished faces?

However, Orisa is currently seen quite rarely – as the professionals all use the same tank.

FIFA 23: 7 strong cards under 50,000 coins for your Ultimate Team

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 4 minutes

If you’re looking for reinforcements for your Ultimate Team, you should always keep the budget in mind in FIFA 23 Here are 7 players under 50,000 coins that are worth it for your Ultimate Team.

What kind of list is this? This list includes only players who cost a maximum of 50,000 coins.

If you’re looking for cheaper players who are more suited for starter teams, you’ll find them here:

We searched across leagues and positions for players who justify the price between 20,000 and 50,000 coins with their stats. So there should be something for everyone.

Radamel Falcao (86) – Flashback

Cost: about 44,000 coins via SBC (Squad Building Challenge)

What makes Falcao special: The first card on our list is a really strong striker that can only be obtained by completing an SBC. It is the Colombian striker legend Radamel Falcao. He is extremely goal-dangerous with his shooting stats and also offers top values in pace and dribbling.

Physicality and passing stats are also decent. But if you use the Architect chemistry style, these two minor weaknesses are compensated for, and Falcao even achieves the popular Lengthy running style.

But you need to hurry, Falcao is only available until November 1, 2022.

Lucas Robertone (84) – Rulebreakers

Cost: about 49,000 coins

What makes Robertone special: With the Rulebreakers card of Robertone, you get an extremely strong all-round midfielder that you can really use in any midfield position. He is really fast, has great dribbling stats, decent passing stats, and can also score with very strong physicality.

If you then use the Anchor chemistry style, you have a quick, agile, and physically strong 6, who can also create offensive chances.

More about FIFA 23 on MeinMMO:

William Saliba (83) – Team of the Week

Cost: about 49,000 coins

What makes Saliba special: With Saliba’s first Inform card, you receive an absolute top center-back that many forwards will struggle against. He is 1.92 meters tall, physically strong, and has fantastic defensive stats.

If you then use the Shadow chemistry style, Saliba becomes really fast, which in combination with the Lengthy running style is a huge advantage.

Thomas Müller (88) – Road to the Knockouts

Cost: about 42,000 coins

What makes Müller special: Thomas Müller may not be the fastest or most skillful player in FIFA 23, but his RTTK card has a lot to offer and is significantly better than his gold card.

His shooting stats are absolutely outstanding, and in combination with his strong passing and improved dribbling stats, this card is a really strong CAM that should set up and score many goals.

Federico Valverde (84) – Gold Card

Cost: about 42,000 coins

What makes Valverde special: Federico Valverde is a central midfielder, just as you would wish. He is very fast, has strong dribbling, and can deliver every ball to his teammates with his excellent passing stats.

If you then give him an Architect chemistry style, his running style becomes Lengthy, and his physicality and passing stats improve even further.

Gerard Deulofeu – Team of the Week

Cost: about 31,500 coins

What makes Deulofeu special: The first Inform card of the Spanish striker offers stats that promise numerous goals: He is super fast, has strong shooting stats, and can excel with very good dribbling stats. His only flaw is his physical stats, which could be a bit better.

Moreover, he has the 4-star combination for weak foot and skill moves, allowing him to easily trick past opposing defenders.

Lorenzo Insigne (87) – Rulebreakers

Cost: about 36,000 coins via SBC (Squad Building Challenge)

What makes Insigne special: If you’re looking for a winger for your team, you should definitely complete Lorenzo’s SBC. Because Insigne is a lightning-fast winger who has everything a winger needs. In addition to his high speed, Insigne is quite goal-dangerous and can shine with strong passing and dribbling stats.

Setting up and scoring goals should be no problem for the Italian.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: New gameplay shows multiplayer – The co-op mode might disappoint some

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

First previews report on the latest Pokémon game. Finally, there is also more information about the multiplayer. MeinMMO explains what you can expect from the new co-op and what not.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be released on November 18, 2022, and since then fans have been eagerly awaiting the new game. In the meantime, there is first proper gameplay to see, and the community is discussing the previews. There is also new information about the multiplayer.

Where does the information come from? Meanwhile, the first testers have experienced the first hour of gameplay with the 9th generation. These are not full tests, but only previews that already show impressions of the game world.

And here they also reported about the multiplayer and the first co-op experiences, such as the magazine Eurogamer or the colleagues from VG247.com.

The preview video from IGN is embedded here for you:

Familiar and new co-op gameplay in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

What might seem familiar to you? In Scarlet and Violet, there are again multiplayer contents that you should already know from the 8th generation. This includes the raids against particularly large Pokémon and friendly or competitive battles against other human players.

The raids are slightly adjusted as a kind of real-time system is now used. Each one uses their attacks or abilities whenever they can, with the speed stats determining who attacks in what order.

What new co-op elements are there? It is new that you can now invite up to three other players into your session or world and then explore the new game world together in a group of four.

However, the multiplayer mode remains very flexible. While you can be in a game world together in a group of four, you can pursue completely different tasks: While one player continues the story, another player can catch new Pokémon. A third user can go shopping leisurely and buy new clothes.

Eurogamer explains in its preview that in their session, they did not reach a maximum distance regarding how far players can be apart. This slightly resembles Genshin Impact, where you can also be at opposite ends of the map.

What can be done together?

  • You can explore the large, open game world together and discover secrets and Easter eggs.
  • You can also take photos, go shopping together, and experience many social aspects together.
  • Certain events like Koraidon races can also be done in multiplayer.

Which elements do not currently work in co-op?

  • According to previews, you cannot complete trainer or gym battles with your friends.
  • You also have to do story missions and the corresponding progress alone.
  • You must also handle normal battles against wild Pokémon by yourself and can’t get support from your friends. However, they can watch and take photos of you.

If you were hoping to battle Pokémon together or to have other battles like in Monster Hunter World, you might be disappointed. Those who hoped to enjoy the story together with their friends might also be disappointed.

Nevertheless, some testers explain in their preview that the innovations are meaningful and good improvements.

New trailer for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet divides fans: ‘Ambitious’ and ‘rough’

Those who played Sword, Shield or Arceus will recognize many things again

What else could be seen in the gameplay? Both the graphic style and the gameplay surprisingly strongly resemble the previous games like Sword, Shield or the spin-off Arceus:

  • Scarlet and Violet rely on an open game world that you can explore freely and attack wild monsters directly on the map. This strongly resembles Arceus, which already used this more open design.
  • You can now also automate some battles. So, you don’t have to fight manually every time.
  • The graphic style again strongly resembles Sword and Shield but has received some design adjustments.

However, there are also a few small but fine innovations. Some testers explain in their preview that there are no proper Poké Centers anymore. They now look more like gas stations or kiosks, so you can heal your Pokémon directly without doors (and loading screens) or go shopping. This makes the world feel much more dynamic without the constant loading screens.
