The monster of the next Community Day in Pokémon GO has been teased. It brings you a colorful bird that is received differently by trainers.
What kind of event is this? A Community Day is a regularly occurring event in Pokémon GO. A monster is in the spotlight, appearing not only in very high numbers but also with an increased shiny chance, an exclusive move, and other strong bonuses.
The date of the Community Day in November has long been known. It will take place on November 30, 2025. Now, the monster of the event has also been teased in a short video.

A bird, many colors
What kind of monster is this? In the short 5-second video that was published on X, you see the silhouette of a bird monster and hear chirping. While the silhouette is harder to recognize in the dark-toned video, the chirping of the monster is clearly recognizable as the cry of Peppeck.
This is a Normal-Flying type monster from Generation 7. It can evolve into Trompeck and then into Tukanon, the toucan-like monster with the typically colorful beak.
What does the community say about it? The hints from the video were quickly identified by trainers. In a post on Reddit, trainers discuss the announcement. While some trainers are disappointed with the monster and wish for other monsters instead, there are also positive voices regarding the Community Day. Especially the shiny version of Tukanon generates some anticipation among certain trainers.
Some comments include:
“At least it’s a new shiny,” writes TheMadJAM
“That was the only shiny I caught while playing Moon, and I’m excited to finally have the shiny in GO,” says Grinning_Dog
“I would prefer if they held Community Day Classics instead…” thinks MindlessAssistance52
“Not exactly exciting, but the shiny Tukanon is pretty cool,” comments Qoppa_Guy
“Cool, I can skip this,” is the comment from ceeroSVK
What do you think about the Community Day? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. There is still some time until the start of the Community Day. However, there are many events happening in the game until then. What they are, you can find out in our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

In ARC Raiders, everything and everyone is a danger, but nothing is worse than the Queen. Many lobbies have failed against her, but now a fearless trio squad shows how to deal with the beast without the help of hostile Raiders.
Which enemy are we talking about? The currently most dangerous opponent in ARC Raiders is the Queen. This robot spider is not only massive, but also armored to the teeth. Equipped with a laser and mortars, she attacks Raiders with deadly efficiency, both in close and ranged combat. Those who think they can dodge her attacks are mistaken.
All attacks leave a burning ground that deals massive damage and can ignite you. If you think you can hide under the spider, you are mistaken a second time. With a shockwave, she can knock you down and cause damage as well.
To defeat the Queen, you either need a whole lobby or a perfect team and a lot of luck. The latter was achieved by a player on Reddit, as he was able to defeat the Queen in 1 minute with his squad without the help of hostile Raiders. His trick? Be well prepared!

ARC Raiders soll laut der Community die chilligsten Lobbys haben
Queen dies miserably in a hail of rockets
How was the fight against the Queen fought? In the video, the user TGebby showed on Reddit the fight against the Queen. He bravely faced the beast just with his trio squad and even won in record time. His weapon choice was the Wolfpack, a grenade specifically designed to eliminate ARCs.
The grenade detonates in mid-air and splits into small, armor-piercing rockets. These automatically seek out the nearest ARC – in this case, the Queen. TGebby packed a total of 20 Wolfpacks, and as seen in the video, he was not the only one in his squad with this choice of grenade.
In less than 1 minute, all Wolfpacks were unleashed on the Queen. The beast had hardly a chance to escape. Slowly, piece by piece, the armor of the ARC crumbled, and when all grenades were used up, TGebby used his Hullcracker rifle to finish her off.
If you subtract the equipment time of the grenades, TGebby defeated the robot in 1 minute, a time that other Raiders can only dream of. Nevertheless, the strategy presented proves to be risky.
Why is TGebby’s strategy risky? Wolfpacks are very rare if you want to find them on the surface. Of course, you can also find a blueprint with some luck and then craft the grenade at your explosives station, but the necessary resources are also rare and not so easy to obtain. Preparation can be somewhat costly.
Another problem is a variable that cannot be influenced, which is the enemy Raiders. TGebby was lucky when challenging the Queen that he did not die beforehand because of other Raiders. If that had happened, he would have lost all his strong items, and that is a risk that very few would take.
Many prefer to group up the lobby to fight the monster with combined strength. In this way, the risk of loss is much lower since the necessary ammunition and grenades are distributed among all players.
Nevertheless, the user impressively demonstrates that with a well-coordinated team, anything is possible, even defeating the toughest opponent in record time.

The developers of Diablo 4 have to postpone their patch, triggering a domino effect that also affects upcoming events.
What about the new patch? The developers of Diablo 4 have postponed their upcoming “Patch 2.4.3”, as they announced on blizzard.com. The reason for the delays are technical issues that require the developers to need more time to complete the patch.
The postponement causes a sort of domino effect, with the upcoming event “Compass to Carnage” also being postponed. Patch 2.4.3 will now arrive on November 12, 2025, while the event “Compass to Carnage” has been rescheduled to November 25 and will run until December 2, 2025.

Season 10 in Diablo 4 macht endlich wieder Spaß
Waiting for the big grind
What kind of event is this? The “Compass to Carnage” event is a kind of farming action by the developers aimed at helping players progress faster through the current endgame of Season 10. The drop rates of items have been massively increased, and there are increased chaos waves with each run, which will lead to much more loot.
Additionally, players will receive extra Aether when sealing Chaos Rifts, which can then be used to farm endgame gear. The event is essentially a big farming action where players can quickly go through the content of Season 10 “Infernal Chaos” again.
How are fans reacting to the event itself? Fans are not particularly excited about the event. They had hoped for other, better bonuses. They feel that the developers do not understand what the true bottleneck of the season is. They are writing on Reddit:
silvercel: “I have 100 of the 10 waves in my inventory. Don’t need more of them. Bring back the double whisper chests.”
Old-Tourist8173: “And bring back the treasure goblins.”
yeehawyippie: “I’m really not sure why they think it’s a good idea to give players more compasses when pretty much everyone who plays this season for more than a week has more than enough compasses. Do they even play their own game? Also, the infernal warp bonus still doesn’t work…”
DontCareTho: “The increased drop rate is probably more for the newer players who might be returning, to make it easier for them to get into the game.”
The postponement of the event is unlikely to cause great sadness among the veterans. The bonuses appeal more to players who haven’t played Season 10 yet and want to check out Diablo 4 again.
With the postponement of Patch 2.4.3 and the “Compass to Carnage” event, a small chain reaction has formed that could also delay the ARPG for future patches. Whether this will really happen or if Blizzard will deliver the next patch on time remains to be seen. An outlook on Season 11 can be found here: Diablo 4: All new uniques in Season 11 with effects

On Netflix, the new film by Guillermo del Toro premieres on November 7th. It is an adaptation of the well-known novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley, which has been adapted many times. What makes this version different – or even better?
Viktor Frankenstein is a legendary figure of horror literature. Perhaps even more famous is his monster, that creature he assembles from various body parts and then, in a bold attempt to play God, brings to life.
The story has been adapted numerous times, with the version from 1931, in which Boris Karloff played the monster, being the most well-known. When people think of the creature, they likely envision him. It is not easy to come close to this adaptation.
Guillermo del Toro, director of Pans Labyrinth, Shape of Water, Hellboy or the short-lived franchise Pacific Rim, has taken on a real mammoth project when he decided to adapt this story again. He has emphasized multiple times in the past what a big fan he is of the source material, and that the old films are very close to his heart. For him, Frankenstein’s monster is a “personal messiah“, he said in an interview with NPR.
On Netflix, his version of Frankenstein premieres on November 7th. MeinMMO author Christoph Waldboth has already seen the film in a limited theatrical release and explains what it does better than the old classic.
Select a MMO video…
The Human Monster
Is the film worth it? Del Toro tells in the first half of the film about how Viktor Frankenstein grows up, becomes a scientist, and eventually develops ambitions to create an artificial being.
He succeeds, of course. The monster lives, but it is frightening, incredibly powerful, and at the same time unpredictable. Its intelligence is quite limited, and it only learns to speak after some time.
The second half of the film is then told from the perspective of this creature. And here it quickly becomes clear what the great strength of del Toro’s adaptation is. It places the monster itself even more in the center than the original from 1931. Its depiction by actor Jacob Elordi feels profoundly human.
We can read its thoughts and emotions anytime from its face. The monster is not a patched-together abomination but deep within it sleeps a human soul. This allows us, the viewers, to form a much deeper bond with the character than was possible with Boris Karloff’s performance.
After all, the creature’s fate is very tragic: it realizes that wounds and other injuries cannot harm it. The monster is immortal but longs for death. It is lonely in life and is always chased or shunned by people.
Guillermo del Toro makes it so that the creature grows on you. This is not really surprising, since the director is an expert at bringing fascinating monsters to the screen. Just think of the faun from Pans Labyrinth or the amphibian man from Shape of Water. They are all portrayed by real actors in costumes, not by soulless CGI figures from a computer. Del Toro once again shows that his heart beats for the monsters on the fringes of society – even when they do not always act correctly.
Is the film flawless? No, not at all. But first, let’s talk about the positives: Besides the monster itself, the audiovisual presentation of the story is especially commendable. Every image looks simply breathtaking, whether it shows magnificent castles, filthy basements, or laboratories filled with limbs. This is also typical of del Toro – stylistically, the director simply knows how to do it. A particular highlight is the sequence where the monster is brought to life during a terrible storm.
Things are different when it comes to the pacing. The two halves of the film differ significantly from each other. While the first half explains a lot and the characters become real chatterboxes, the second half is dominated by silence. When the story follows the monster, it becomes much more atmospheric and quieter, unfortunately, this abrupt change in pace feels a bit awkward.
Some characters, like the newly added character played by Christoph Waltz, were unnecessary – they unnecessarily inflate the already long two and a half hours. Acting-wise, especially Oscar Isaac as Frankenstein and the aforementioned Jacob Elordi as the monster make a good impression.
Who is the film suitable for? Those who know Frankenstein should give the new version a chance. It doesn’t introduce much new or different but offers a deeper monster as an added value. Those who do not know the story should definitely take a look, as it has lost none of its fascination since its first appearance in 1818.
One thing should be said: Do not expect a horror film. Guillermo del Toro clearly places the tragic character and the philosophical thoughts of the source material in the foreground. This leads to eerie moments, but real horror is hardly present, even though there are some hard spikes of violence.
If at all possible, watch the film in one of the last theater showings (big screen!) otherwise choose the straightforward way through Netflix. Unfortunately, not all of the Mexican director’s works have been successful at the box office, and one particular failure still bothers him: Guillermo del Toro still regrets that one of his most important films flopped so badly

This year at the Craft Attack event, the Twitch streamer Hugo “LetsHugo” Goedert is participating. He has devised something quite special as content for his streams: He pranks his Twitch colleagues with a massive number of boats.
Who annoys whom? The streamer LetsHugo is taking part in the Minecraft project Craft Attack 13. The project unites 100 German-speaking Twitch streamers in Minecraft live on Twitch and gives everyone the opportunity to play Minecraft as they wish.
LetsHugo seems to have made it his mission to keep his teammates on their toes with boats. He is building a large number of boats to then unleash them on the world. He has already released about 300 boats at his Twitch colleague Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris and his storage.
For his pranks, he has already been banned by the server admins. The ban message simply stated “Boats,” which was explanation enough. This was already the second ban within a few days that LetsHugo received from the Craft Attack 13 server. Previously, he had shown the participant list of the project, which was actually prohibited, and as punishment, he was not allowed to witness the start of Craft Attack 13 for 24 hours.

“We are going to have problems”
What is the current “boat prank” by LetsHugo? The recent ban from the Craft Attack server does not prevent the Luxembourg streamer from continuing with his boats. In his Twitch stream yesterday, LetsHugo took it even further with his boats, but this time for a good cause.
He planned to unleash an even larger number of boats on the server and stated: For every Euro that viewers donated, he would create one boat. A total of 3,446 Euro in donations for the Make-A-Wish Foundation were collected, which LetsHugo then had to “convert” into boats.
LetsHugo told his viewers beforehand: “I honestly tell you: We are going to have problems starting from 1,500 [boats].” (Source: Twitch at 15:49:13)
First, LetsHugo placed the boats in a pile, but even then the game started to lag a bit and the FPS suffered. However, this was only noticeable in LetsHugo’s area at first.
It got worse when he finally “released” the boats. To prevent the server from crashing, he let the boats go in stages, which caused lags but no crashes.
The boats were pushed over the edge of LetsHugo’s tower and fell down into the world. This caused the server to struggle with the numerous boats and start to stutter.
Many groups have their clear favorites when it comes to NPCs in their campaigns of Dungeons & Dragons. However, for a game master, this love goes a bit further and influences his real life.
Whom did the game master adopt? Content creator tbdnd_ shares his unusual vacation story on TikTok. He and his girlfriend unexpectedly and very spontaneously adopted a dog during their trip. And not just any dog, as he is connected to the absolute favorite NPC of his DnD group.
It is a black mixed breed that was housed in a large animal shelter in a city they passed by during their travels. His girlfriend looked online out of curiosity to see which animals they were currently adopting, and fate took its course.

The God of Chaos, living up to his name
Why did they adopt the dog? When his girlfriend looked at the housed animals online, she discovered a dog named “Cohen”. A name that has a special significance for the game master. It belongs to an NPC who has been accompanying his group since their first campaign and has been their absolute favorite NPC for years.
They seized this stroke of fate to take a spontaneous look at the animals in the shelter. They met Cohen and immediately fell in love with him. In no time, they decided to take the black fluffball, who is probably an energetic mix of Labrador and Border Collie, home with them.
It has been over a year since they unexpectedly and spontaneously took this as a sign of fate and adopted Cohen. Cohen, the God of Chaos – is now also on the tag of the dog’s collar. Because in their campaign, he is exactly that. And even the way he came to his family does justice to his name.

On a political stage, the insufficient protection of consumers spending money on games that ultimately turn out to be flops and go offline is currently under discussion. There are more than enough recent examples like Anthem or New World.
What is the problem? More and more games rely on service models and require online connectivity. Buyers of such a product do not purchase the game itself but only the right to use it. If the servers of that game go offline, the purchase is rendered useless. The same applies to in-game offerings acquired through microtransactions.
This is particularly problematic because users often cannot foresee how long the service will continue to run at the time of investment. There are plenty of examples:
After the announcement of the quasi-end of New World, many players on community platforms expressed their frustration, having invested money into the game based on the very positive hype surrounding the MMORPG at the time. Their disappointment grew when they realized their money had gone into a practically dead product.

The government says the right things but (still) does nothing
What is the government discussing? As eurogamer.net reports, the British House of Commons has now debated improvements in consumer protection for video games and the preservation of games. During the discussions and statements, members of parliament mentioned games like Concord and Anthem as cautionary examples.
One MP is quoted in the Eurogamer report as follows:
A current example is Concord, a game released for PlayStation 5 and Windows in August 2024. After a disappointing launch, Sony Interactive Entertainment made the business decision to discontinue the game. To their credit, they refunded all purchases, but that is not always the case.
I know that esteemed members will agree with me that publishers who fail to clearly state the lifespan of a game at the time of sale must be held accountable.
That is why I welcome the enhanced consumer protection measures, including the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act of 2024, which came into effect earlier this year. This legislation rightly requires retailers to provide consumers with clear, timely, and accurate information, including the longevity and functionality of digital products.
Another MP adds: “Gamers still feel a deep sense of personal ownership because they invest more than just money. They invest time, effort, imagination, and friendship. When a game is discontinued without warning, that investment is lost.”
Despite overwhelming support in the House of Commons, no measures have yet been initiated or passed to modify consumer rights or ensure the sustainable preservation of games.
Currently, one still has to rely on initiatives from manufacturers and platform owners. One example is the “Preservation Program” from CD Projekt and gog.com, which already includes 250 classic games.
A gaming PC ends up high on the wall, but that’s not where the computer should be. The community is amused by the communication problems of a father and how the PC is hanging on the wall: namely anything but straight.
A family father hangs his son’s gaming PC on the wall. Only later does he realize that he probably misunderstood his wife. But it’s not just the communication chaos that entertains the community, but also the way the PC ends up hanging on the wall.

Computer is not just a Computer
What exactly did the father do? The family father reports on Reddit that his wife had asked him to mount their child’s gaming PC on the wall. Literally, his wife is said to have said: “Please mount the child’s computer to the wall to clear space on the desk.”
For the father, it’s clear: The gaming PC must be meant by computer. So he mounts it high above the table. Only then does he realize that he has taken it too literally. Because his wife meant the monitor with computer, not the case with the hardware. Now everyone is mad: the child and wife because the PC is up there, and he himself because he only meant well.
What I heard: Hang computer on wall.
What she meant: MOUNT MONITOR to wall.
Now both are angry.
At least he still has to connect the PC. He explains that he still has an external power switch and a few long cables.
But the community is still laughing about something else. Because the computer is hanging on the wall, but anything but neatly. It gives the viewer the impression that the PC wants to crush the person underneath at any moment. Someone writes: “Looks damn weird, but it’s functional.”
This is noticed even by the father, who later makes another post on Reddit, in which he writes: “Alright, alright – I went to the garage and built a makeshift support so that you can all sleep peacefully … at least for now.”
Thus, he has at least solved the problem that the PC no longer hangs crookedly on the wall.
What ultimately caused the failure? Who is ultimately to blame for the whole chaos is probably something no one can say. One user says, “It’s always a problem to call a monitor a computer.” Others, however, reply that the father could have at least asked again. Others see the fault with the wife, who could have at least checked the assignment, because then it wouldn’t have been the PC that went on the wall, but the monitor as desired.
To the surprise of some fans, Minecraft has released a new expansion. From now on, you can fight alongside Son-Goku and his friends from Dragon Ball Z.
What kind of DLC is this? The creative team from Cyclone has created a new DLC for Minecraft. After expansions like the Minions and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, now a complete expansion for Dragon Ball Z follows.
You can choose from many characters from the anime and engage in battles with them. Playable characters include the hero Son-Goku as well as villains like Freezer and supporting characters like C18, who is an android. Each character is supposed to have their own abilities, and some can even become Super Saiyans.
With the characters, you can either plunge into battle alone or participate in a cooperative tournament. There are even 5v5 battles. Additionally, there are skins and a scouter for your playable character, which theoretically allows you to measure an opponent’s power level.
The trailer shows that there are, in addition to new items from the anime, even blocks that look like the Dragon Balls. The characters also get the typical voxel look (pixels in 3D).

Locations and characters from the anime
What does it have in common with the anime? In addition to the characters, there are also certain locations that you probably recognize from the anime. These include places like God’s Palace or the valley where Vegeta rampaged as an angry warrior in the anime.
What do fans say about it? Under a trailer on YouTube, many fans share their thoughts on the new DLC. Some commenters are excited about the new expansion. However, others criticize that the frame rate never stays at a constant 60 FPS. Even in the trailer, this is noticeable.
There are also some users who write rather funny comments. One viewer comments that Sparking Zero looks good – referring to the latest installment. Another user finds it great that there is finally a worthy opponent for Steve, the player character from Minecraft.
When is it released and how much does it cost? The DLC is now available on the Minecraft Marketplace. It can be purchased for either 1510 in-game coins or 8.99 US dollars. According to the Xbox Store, this corresponds to a price of 7.39 €.
Battlefield 6 has implemented a new mode that is mainly intended to lead you to more relaxed gameplay. This mode is also suitable for quickly gaining a lot of XP.
What mode is it? It is Casual Breakthrough, a new mode that has been playable in Battlefield 6 since November 1, 2025. The mode takes a different approach than familiar modes, as it replaces a large part of the playing soldiers with bots.
In general, these are smaller teams that compete against each other. At first, it sounds a bit strange that Battlefield 6 already relies on bots. But there is an idea behind it to help many players.

Casual Breakthrough is the perfect mode for XP
Why is Casual Breakthrough so good? In Casual Breakthrough, two teams of 24 soldiers each compete against each other. Among these 24, however, there are only 8 real players, with the rest being taken by bots on both teams.
You might think there is a catch because bots are not always the smartest teammates, which could lead to an easier game, but there isn’t one. The mode has been specifically designed to provide you with relaxed rounds.
The bonus: You can collect challenges and XP for Battle Pass, weapons, as well as your account. Especially for those who find the grind in standard modes tedious, Casual Breakthrough is recommended. Because here you can leave the round with a lot of kills, drastically increasing your progress.
If you think that the bots are just cannon fodder, you are mistaken. They act intelligently to a certain degree. They drop ammunition on request and can even revive you if you have fallen in battle. Some fans even say on Reddit that these bots are more reliable than real players.
This may be true, but in the case of Battlefield 6, it’s more about giving fans a chance to effectively complete challenges and level up without feeling pressured to improve. Fun is the priority here, and not everyone is eager to jump into every round after work just because the opposing team is led by former Delta Force soldiers.
The developers of New World have released a new update for the MMORPG after all. There is now a new weapon that was probably supposed to be released later.
Are there still updates coming for New World? No, the developers of New World will soon leave Amazon Games, and the MMORPG will remain at its current state without any further updates.
Nevertheless, there has been another major patch. However, this simultaneously proves that New World has no future.

New update brings unfinished weapon
What kind of weapon is this? The developers of New World have now released a new weapon, the daggers. With the daggers, players can sneak around in stealth and fight enemies at high speed.
The daggers rely on combo points. Each hit builds combo points that can be used to perform abilities. Additionally, a higher number of points can further enhance the abilities.
The stealth talent tree makes you harder to detect and provides extra damage to surprised enemies and those affected by your roots or slows. As is common with stealth classes, there is also a damage bonus when you attack your enemies from behind.
Why is the weapon coming now? The developers of New World had been working on the weapon for some time. Now that New World is history and the next major update or expansion is not coming, the developers decided to release the new weapon anyway.
At the same time, they emphasize on NewWorld.com that the daggers are not yet perfectly developed and that there are still bugs and issues that will likely not be fixed. Nevertheless, the developers wanted players to be able to play with the new weapon.
The new daggers are likely the last major update for New World that the developers will release before their departure from Amazon Games Studios. If any further updates are unexpectedly released, they likely originated before the MMORPG’s end.
AI scares a lot of people: Now Jeff Bezos has revealed which employees can never be replaced by AI: inventors and individuals with great inventiveness.
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, stated at the Italian Tech Week that in the age of AI, one type of employee remains irreplaceable: people with a genuine inventor mindset, who can creatively solve problems and combine new ideas.
He supports his claim with anecdotes about his grandfather, his own role as an “inventor” at Amazon, and insights that Amazon specifically looks for employees with exactly such skills.

Bezos’ grandfather as a great role model for inventiveness
At the Italian Tech Week, the Amazon founder reported that his grandfather was able to solve any problem on his ranch in Texas by himself, without relying on outside help. He recounted:
He bought a bulldozer for about $5,000 because it was completely broken. We spent an entire summer repairing it. To get the transmission out, we had to build our own crane. And that’s why he had incredible adaptability. He believed he could solve any problem. And I watched him do it.
He describes himself as an “inventor” who generates many ideas in a short time and used to specifically ask candidates about something they have invented to identify inventive spirit:
When I interview candidates, I ask them to give me an example of something they have invented. You have to select people who enjoy inventing and thinking innovatively.
It’s not about individuals having patents or other inventions. Rather, it is about inventing practical new processes, ideas, and connections that did not exist before and which make things easier.
Last year, the Netflix documentary “The Incredible Life of Ibelin” told the touching story of a player from World of Warcraft. Soon, a film adaptation with a renowned cast is set to hit the big screen.
What is known about the film? As reported by variety.com, Morten Tyldum directs the film adaptation of Ibelin’s story. Like the Netflix documentary “The Incredible Life of Ibelin” from last year, the film is also based on the life of Mats Steen, a Norwegian boy who suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (more about the disease on Wikipedia).
Director Morten Tyldum is also Norwegian. His biggest success so far is the Oscar nomination for Best Director with his film “The Imitation Game.” Additionally, films like Passengers and series like Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and Silo are part of his filmography. Filming is expected to take place in Europe in 2026. So far, confirmed cast members include:
Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire, Moonfall, The Long Walk)
Stephen Graham (Gangs of New York, Band of Brothers, Snatch, Boardwalk Empire, The Irishman)
Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense, Mickey 17, Knives Out, Hereditary)

The Fantastic Life of Ibelin – Trailer for the Emotional Documentary about a Story from the WoW Community
A touching story
What is the film based on? On bbc.com an article titled “My disabled son’s amazing gaming life in World of Warcraft” appeared on February 7, 2019. It was here that the touching story of Mats Steen was first told.
Mats was confined to a wheelchair due to his illness, and doctors believed it was unlikely that the boy would live to see his 20th birthday. His parents, in turn, feared that their son would never find friends or leave a mark on the world because of his illness.
At the age of eleven, Mats discovered World of Warcraft. Although his parents accepted the new hobby, they never truly understood it. With great concern, they observed that their son was increasingly spending nights at the computer.
What they did not realize: Mats found in Azeroth something that had been denied to him in real life: a community and friends where he could forget about his illness for a while. In WoW, he was simply Lord Ibelin Redmoore, a respected member of a WoW guild. Someone who could listen well and with whom one could have fun.
How does the story end? When Mats died on November 18, 2014, his father had the idea to leave a message for Mats’ fellow players through the blog his son had been maintaining for some time. There, the father explained what had happened and how to reach him. He feared that no one would respond…
But the opposite was true. Many guildmates sought contact and expressed their condolences and grief in messages. They shared personal memories and emphasized how important the terminally ill boy had become to the community over time. Many of Mats’ friends even boarded a plane to attend the funeral.
All this made the parents realize how important World of Warcraft had become for Mats and what kind of life he had led despite his illness, one filled with friends and many wonderful moments. He had managed to leave his mark on the world. Mats was 25 years old.
A Reddit user scored the PC case deal of the year due to a pricing error. The seller even admits the mistake and does not take the perhaps expected usual route.
What did the Reddit user report? The user GOGONUT6543 (via Reddit) found an absolute bargain for the Fractal North Midi Tower-PC case. At the British PC accessories shop Gotraka, the case, which usually costs 155 British pounds, was reduced to 20 British pounds. The original price corresponds to about 177 euros. This means a drop to approximately 23 euros (based on current exchange rates as of 04.11.2025).
In the comments on the Reddit post, users agree that normally a seller would not let something like this go. But the seller decided differently: Gotraka allowed the transaction to proceed and even sent the user a coupon for their next purchase.
Thus, the seller seems to have made a pretty clever move that not everyone would have accepted.

Surprise when opening
How did the seller react? Gotraka took a rather unusual approach. First, they informed the lucky buyers about the pricing error in the webshop. At the same time, they assured that all users who purchased the tower at the wrong price could keep it.
According to Gotraka, integrity is more important than profit. Thus, the company sends a clear message: They stand by their mistakes, and made all the customers who ordered during the pricing error happy.
Additionally, all affected buyers received a five percent coupon for their next order. On top of that, there was also a thank you message from Gotraka founder Amar Tanna.
A presumably pretty clever PR move by the company. Even if they bear the costs of their pricing error: With the hashtag tag@gotraka the company tried to spread the story further. Furthermore, they could promote their upcoming PC configurator through the error – this was mentioned in the explanatory email.
Currently, Gotraka does not ship to Germany. Thus, presumably, German customers miss out. The unintended discount has also been rectified in the meantime and is no longer available.
What does the case offer? The Fractal North Midi Tower is a PC case and shines with features like good airflow, ATX support, and compact design. The well-known YouTube channel GamersNexus describes the case as having “excellent design.” It is complemented by wooden rods in the front of the case, which serve as both ventilation and design element.
If you are one of the lucky ones who managed to snag a Fractal North Midi, then do not make the same mistake as colleague Benedikt Schlotmann: Do not swap out multiple parts of your PC at once during the upgrade. Be cautious and test each part individually instead. Otherwise, you will be frustrated for hours in the end: I made a mistake while building a PC that is not mentioned in any manual

Oshi no Ko is one of the highlights that anime fans can look forward to in Winter 2026. Now there is a new trailer for the upcoming season. However, readers of the manga know how the story ends – and their excitement is dampened.
What is this new trailer about? The Crunchyroll team has uploaded the second trailer for Season 3 of Oshi no Ko on YouTube. We see numerous characters we already know from Seasons 1 and 2 – of course including the two protagonists Aqua and Ruby.
Ruby’s eyes have still turned black due to the events of Season 2, which clearly shows that she is pursuing her own plan. Meanwhile, she poses as a silly reporter who is on the trail of the myth of a real Pikachu.
Kana and Akane, who are vying for Aqua’s affection, are back as well, along with the idol Mem-Cho. Unfortunately, the trailer is currently only available in the original Japanese version without subtitles.

Fans look forward to Season 3, but not to the ending
What do fans say about the trailer? Even with the new images for Season 3 of the anime, many fans are excited about the upcoming content. This is confirmed by the ranking on MyAnimeList, one of the largest rating sites in this area. Here, Oshi no Ko is the fourth most anticipated anime, coming after sequels to Frieren and Jujutsu Kaisen. Even MeinMMO demon Cortyn can hardly wait for the season.
However, the excitement is dampened for some fans, specifically those who have already read the manga. The story of Oshi no Ko is complete, and many readers are not satisfied with the ending.
A user on reddit writes that this season should be good, but he has to admit that the ending of the manga slightly dampens his enthusiasm for the series.
Why do they hate the ending? (WARNING, major spoiler!)
Fans on reddit find it exaggerated that Aqua ends up killing himself and his father. Furthermore, Ruby’s death hits so hard that she becomes as manipulative a liar as her mother Ai. Fans say this is a bit too sad and there is no lesson that Ruby learned from her mother’s behavior.
Where can I watch Season 3 of Oshi no Ko? If you want to watch the anime about the idol industry, you can do so on Crunchyroll starting January 14, 2026, with simulcast.
A new event has been announced in Pokémon GO. This brings some Shiny Pokémon with increased chances – and a completely new one.
What kind of event is this? The event is called “High Voltage.” It starts on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM and ends on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 8:00 PM.
As the name suggests, this event will feature several Electric Pokémon. In addition to a high number of Shiny Pokémon that you can more easily catch and a Shiny debut, there are also strong bonuses that come with the event.

The wilderness will become a Shiny paradise!
Which Shiny is new? In the event, you can encounter Morpeko for the first time, the Pokémon with a special trait in battles, in its Shiny variant. You can get it through field research, in a collector challenge, in snapshot surprises, and in a paid limited research.
You can also receive it as a reward in the Battle League.
Which Shiny Pokémon have an increased chance? The event brings you 3 Pokémon with increased Shiny chances. These are Emolga, Dedenne, and Togedemaru. All 3 Pokémon can be encountered in the wild during the event.
Since all 3 Pokémon are also supposed to appear more frequently in the wild, the event could bring you one or the other Shiny Pokémon while you are out in the wild in the game.
What bonuses are there in the event? Additionally, you can expect the following bonuses in the event:
double the amount of XP for nice, great, or excellent throws
double the amount of Stardust for catching Pokémon
Sheinux* can appear in the wild
Collector challenge where you can earn XP, Stardust, and a Morpeko
Event field research
Sheinux can also appear as a Shiny. However, it does not have an increased chance of appearing as a Shiny.
Paid research: For $4.99 (or about €5.49), you can purchase a limited research. In this, you will receive 2 premium battle passes, 1 elite charge TM, as well as encounters with Emolga, Dedenne, Togedemaru, and Morpeko.
There is still some time until the event starts. However, until then, there are various events, raids, and other content that await you in the game. You can find out which ones exactly and when you can find them in our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Even by the absurd standards of Warhammer 40,000, there are characters who can easily surpass almost all others. One user wonders why everyone fears him, as he’s just a single fighter. What he overlooks, however, are the advantages of having good connections to the Blood God Khorne.
The gifts of Chaos grant supernatural power, but only to those who prove themselves worthy. In most cases, a Chaos Cultist ends up as a victim in some ritual at best, or at worst as a host for a demonic Chaos spawn.
However, a significant exception is the Chaos Space Marines, the sons of those Primarchs who betrayed the Emperor during the Great Brother War and turned to the Chaos Gods. As Astartes, they are already genetically enhanced super-soldiers, and the corruption of Chaos only makes them stronger.
They often still lose to their loyal brothers for various reasons. However, there are some traitors who can pose problems even for legendary Space Marines. One of them is Khârn, the adjutant of Angron of the World Eaters (formerly the War Hounds), who has since ascended to become a Daemon Prince.
Khârn appears in several stories and is regarded as one of the most feared followers of Chaos. And for good reason.

Only the Prince of Khorne is stronger than Khârn
Among all followers of the Chaos God Khorne, Khârn is considered the strongest mortal, surpassed only by his “father” Angron – who has long ceased to be a human (or Space Marine) and has ascended to become a Daemon Prince.
However, Khârn was already an excellent fighter before his fall. He frequently dueled, sometimes against some of the best fighters of the Imperium, such as Sigismund, the founder of the Black Templars.
As the first World Eater, he has also survived having the Butcher’s Nails implanted: nails driven into the brain to enhance rage and aggression.
Further operations have only heightened his bloodlust and driven his thirst for murder to the point that Khârn even had a kill counter installed in the visor of his power armor – a gift from Horus himself.
A bloodlust so great that his own legion crumbles beneath it
Since Khârn lived even before the Horus Heresy, in the 30th Millennium, he was able to build a considerable reputation through his long life span and battles. He was known as an excellent but unstable fighter.
Only one friend, Argel Tal, managed to pacify him during this time – and was subsequently removed from the picture by Erebus, the first traitor, so that he would not stand in the way of the growing bloodlust of the emerging Khorne Berserker.
Khârn has not only slaughtered other Astartes en masse, he even killed one of the strongest Pariahs without fully realizing what he was doing.
The act for which he eventually became famous, however, he committed against his own legion: during the fight against the Emperor’s Children, Khârn went through his own ranks with a flamethrower to drive the World Eaters and prevent their retreat. Anyone who tried to stop him was killed, which ultimately earned Khârn the title of “the Traitor.”
Even though all of this may sound quite brutal, such stories are not too unusual by Warhammer standards. On Reddit, a user questions how such a thing can be enough that Khârn’s name alone is sufficient to instill fear and terror: “Surely a few guys should be able to defend against him, right?”
The community then clarifies that Khârn is not just an excellent fighter, but also Khorne’s favorite – so much so that the Blood God has (presumably) even brought him back from the dead. This brings certain effects:
He is the chosen one of the Blood God. You have to imagine, when you stand before him, you can feel the veil thinning and all sorts of chaotic nonsense make you nauseous. It’s a total morale killer.
Millennia of slaughter have contributed to his reputation, and in battle he wields the legendary chain axe Gorechild, which can slice through armor, flesh, and bone alike with ease. Khorne’s blessing also makes him immune to psychic powers and allows him to manifest demonic entities around him.
Fans are still divided on whether Civilization 7 is a worthy entry in the popular strategy series. Its direct predecessor, on the other hand, remains popular and is currently saving you a lot of money.
We’re talking about Civilization 6: The 4X strategy game from Firaxis was released in October 2016, making it somewhat older. However, looking at player reviews on Steam, the title is still more popular than Civilization 7, which only launched in February 2025.
This is also reflected in the player numbers. The predecessor is still played by significantly more people on Steam today:
Civ 6 reached a peak of 36,259 concurrent players on Steam within the last 24 hours (as of November 4, 1:41 PM, according to steamdb.info).
During the same period, only 7,480 players played Civ 7 simultaneously (according to steamdb.info).
When asked which of the two games one should consider buying, the answer in most cases is Civ 6. The game is still on our list of the best strategy games of 2025. However, it has received so many expansions that you will have to spend quite a bit for the complete package — just over €200 without discounts.

Under €20 for more than 1,000 hours of gameplay
Right now, you can save a lot of money: Civ 6 is heavily discounted as part of the current Firaxis developer sale on Steam. The most interesting is the Civ 6 Anthology – it costs only €15.80 and includes all DLCs.
Included are, among others:
the major expansions Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm, which introduce new mechanics such as Golden (or Dark) Ages and environmental disasters
civilization packs that add numerous new playable factions like Poland, Australia, Portugal, and many more (some with special scenarios)
The Leader Pass, which provides 12 brand new leaders and revises 6 known ones
Overall, you get a lot of content for your money here. You can still have fun in Civ 6 even after 1,000 hours. One player has even surpassed 10,000 hours before writing a Steam review – he actually recommends the game.
Purchasing the Anthology Bundle is worthwhile even if you already own the base game and some of the DLCs. These will be automatically deducted from the price. So not only newcomers benefit, but also everyone who wants to complete their collection.

Almost a month after the release of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance on Steam, players are frustrated with themselves and believe this could even lead to the end of the MMORPG.
What is the situation with the anime MMORPG? The anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance launched on Steam about a month ago on October 9, 2025. After a successful release with nearly 95,000 players, the initial hype has subsided (via SteamDB).
Currently, approximately 25,000 players log into Steam at peak times each day. However, this number is not complete, as Blue Protocol: Star Resonance can also be played on mobile and via the proprietary launcher as well as the Epic Games Launcher.
The trend is likely to be clear: players are leaving the MMORPG and the hype is diminishing. One reason for this could be the community itself, as players are now discussing.
Here you can watch a trailer for the MMORPG:

Players are sabotaging the MMORPG
What are players discussing? In a post on Reddit, players are currently discussing how poorly the cooperation in the MMORPG works. The poster Fair_Percentage_5823 explains that there are many groups that only want to play with players who have a high Ability Score.
Beginners and players who are lagging behind are no longer invited into groups, even though such a high score is not even needed for the content. Thus, the community itself excludes players, which in turn will lead to players quitting.
How are other players reacting to this thesis? Other players on Reddit recognize the problem but also partly understand why the community behaves this way. Players explain on Reddit:
Bottlecap_Prophet: “The problem in public lobbies of MMOs is that there is no trust in entrants, and therefore one has to rely on the only available metric. It is essential to be in an active guild in this game to have a closer community that helps each other organize things like raids, and where good players are known, so you can rely on more than just the Gear Score.”
Chepfer: “It’s becoming absurd; I won’t do anything if my friends aren’t online. The stupid ‘gatekeeping’ and people causing wipes through simple mechanics make it no fun at all.”
Thrionic: “Exactly what happened with Lost Ark. In the end, only a few thousand ‘try hards’ will defend the game and the gear score system after 95% of the player base has left.”
For players, this is a double-edged sword. On one hand, they have to deal with teammates who fail at simple mechanics and do not provide enough performance, but on the other, they also exclude good players who haven’t completed new content due to the high Gear Score.
