Recently, the leveling system in Pokémon GO has been revamped. An ongoing event can help you fulfill a new requirement more easily.
The second part of the Halloween event 2025 is currently ongoing in Pokémon GO. It started on Monday, October 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM and runs until Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 8:00 PM. In addition to the Cup Pokémon Fatalitee, there are also several costumed and regular monsters in the event.
Two of the monsters in the event can help you if you want to meet the requirements for levels 71 to 80. In addition to experience points, you will need to fulfill other tasks as well.

2 Monsters, 2 Medals
What kind of monsters are they? In the event, there is also Pikachu in a costumed variant and the pumpkin Pokémon Irrbis, which has a unique feature. The monster comes in 4 different sizes. You can easily tell what size an Irrbis is in the game before you click on it.
How can the monsters help? An important new feature in levels 71 to 80 are the Platinum medals. You need a certain number of Platinum medals for each level to advance to the next level. For the new maximum level 80, you even need 50 Platinum medals.
Among these, there are 2 medals where you can make progress more easily during the current event. For the medal “Collector of Giant Pokémon”, you need to catch a total of 500 XXL Pokémon to reach Platinum. So, catch the large Irrbis variants in the event.
As Trainer Time-Relative-5360 reported on Reddit, you can also trade an XXL Irrbis with a friend to gain another progress point in the medal. By trading, you can also trigger the evolution without candy cost and thus gain another point in the medal. Overall, you can achieve 3 progress points per XXL Irrbis with your friend.
The 2nd medal for which you can make progress in the event is “Pikachu Fan”. Here, you need to catch a total of 1,000 Pikachu to obtain Platinum. Since within the event Pikachu is one of the monsters that appears more frequently in the wild, you should catch all specimens you find.
If you use the event to achieve significant progress in the medals, it can save you time later if you have not yet collected enough Platinum medals.
Not only the Halloween event is waiting for you in Pokémon GO in the near future. The coming month is again packed with various events, raids, and other content. If you want to know what they are, feel free to take a look at our overview of all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Nike is developing a motorized shoe that is supposed to assist you while walking and jogging. Commuters and non-professionals are the target audience for the project.
What exactly is behind Nike’s new shoes? With Project Amplify, Nike has officially introduced its first motorized running shoe. According to its own statement, it is the world’s first “powered footwear system” for walking and jogging. The idea behind it: People should be able to move faster, further, and with less effort – similar to an e-bike for the feet (via The Verge).
The system is based on a combination of robust mechanics and intelligent control. It consists of:
a motorized unit with drive belt
a lightweight, rechargeable battery
a carbon fiber plate in the shoe itself
and a flexible cuff that wraps around the lower calf
Together with the robotics company Dephy Inc., Nike developed a prototype specifically tailored for people who walk at a pace between 10 and 12 minutes per mile (approximately 6.2 minutes per kilometer, or about 9 km/h) – not necessarily serious athletes, but rather everyday joggers or commuters. According to Nike, the system is designed to operate so seamlessly that it feels “like a second pair of calves” (via Nike).
According to a recent press report, over 400 athletes have taken more than 2.4 million steps with over nine hardware iterations during the testing phase. However, the product is still in the early stages of development. A market launch is only planned “in the coming years” (via Nike).

Not a real innovation
Why the idea is not new – and what the Moonwalkers do differently? As futuristic and “cyberpunk” as Nike’s concept looks, it is not the first idea of motorized shoes that aim to make everyday life easier and faster.
The American startup Shift Robotics already presented the so-called Moonwalkers in 2022: a type of “shoe attachment with motor drive” that was supposed to significantly increase walking comfort.
Unlike Nike’s solution, the Moonwalkers were not a shoe system with a supportive motor, but rather motorized rolling platforms that were strapped onto normal shoes. They featured:
In comparison to the Moonwalkers, it becomes clear that Nike is taking a more integrated approach. Instead of an eye-catching motorized rolling system, Project Amplify offers a seamless extension of a classic running shoe.
A major sticking point remains the price: The Moonwalkers cost a whopping $1,400, or about €1,320. And it remains unclear where Nike’s price will settle in the future (if the prototype actually goes into production) – it is unlikely to be cheap.
The universe of Game of Thrones will soon be enriched by a series that will feature a despised character from the original. The showrunner already has a wicked idea for it.
Attention Spoiler: In the article, we reveal details about the character Walder Frey and the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. If you don’t want to know anything about it, you should stop reading here.
Which character is it about? If you have seen Game of Thrones or read the underlying books, you probably remember Walder Frey. The character first appears in Season 1 and soon makes a name for himself as a pretty nasty guy.
One of the highlights that no reader or viewer will ever forget is the “Red Wedding,” where many characters lose their lives, including some main characters. The massacre takes place at the court of Walder Frey and under his command and is even based on historical events.
So it’s not surprising that the character is equally hated and feared. In the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Walder Frey will appear again – but not as the ruthless lord we have known him so far.

From Murderer to Innocent Baby
What does the appearance look like? The spin-off to the main series is set to premiere in 2026 and will consist of three seasons, each based on stories by George R.R. Martin. It tells the story of knight Ser Duncan and his squire “Egg”. You can find all the information collected on MeinMMO.
The plot takes place about 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. Accordingly, Walder Frey here is not a ruling lord, but much younger. More specifically, he is likely just a baby, because in Game of Thrones the character is initially 90 years old.
The showrunner of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Ira Parker, has already thought about how Walder Frey could appear in the new series. In conversation with Polygon, he shared his thoughts:
My favorite idea is, and this appears only in the third book, that there is a little Walder Frey. I have this hopefully really funny idea, for which people will probably kill me. But this idea that something happens, like a horse cart goes out of control and this baby is about to be killed, and Duncan intervenes and saves little Walder Frey.
Ira Parker
The idea has its charm, considering the terrible acts the character commits as an adult. After all, it’s hard to be angry with a baby, especially when it looks really cute. Nevertheless, this raises the question of how the further course of the story would have looked if the baby had died that day.
One thing is certain: many other characters would have survived, and the “Red Wedding” would not have existed in this form. Duncan’s act was therefore well-intentioned but ultimately caused great suffering in Westeros.
By the way, the idea of incorporating Walder Frey into the story is even based on the literary source. It features a four-year-old boy, whom George R.R. Martin confirmed in a post on livejournal.com is Frey. However, this is just a small guest appearance on the side.
A hardware manufacturer has caused a stir with a questionable support recommendation: users should modify their 16-pin connector on their own. After severe criticism, the company is now taking action, apologizing, and halting the production of the faulty model.
What was the problem? A customer had contacted the hardware manufacturer Cooler Master because the connector of their power supply did not properly click into their graphics card with a recessed connector.
Instead of offering a suitable replacement, the support employee advised the customer to remove the two clips on the housing of the connector and break it. This was supposed to convert the right-angle connector into a straight one, essentially a DIY repair on a power cable.

Cooler Master announces new safety standards and replacement cables
Why is the support’s response so problematic? Recommending users modify the connector by breaking it is not only unprofessional but can also be quite dangerous. It does not solve the problem and creates new risks.
In the worst case, this advice could have led to overheating, short circuits, or permanent hardware damage. The risk of fire is also a significant concern, especially with a safety-critical component like a power connector.
How has the company responded? Cooler Master has officially addressed massive accusations from the community. According to a report from Tom’s Hardware, the company stated that all support staff have been instructed to no longer recommend modifications to such connectors.
Furthermore, they plan to discontinue the production of the already delivered right-angle 12V-2×6 connector (often also called 16-pin). The statement, which was published in response to a report by Igor’s Lab, also announces that Cooler Master will implement internal quality assurance measures and new safety standards.
The manufacturer admitted that the right-angle connector was “very problematic,” especially with graphics cards with a recessed 12V-2×6 connector. However, the company emphasizes that they are not aware of any specific damage case directly related to such a modification.
What changes is Cooler Master making? According to the statement sent to Igor’s Lab, the company intends to make the following changes:
All upcoming power supplies will be delivered with a straight 12V-2×6 connector.
Existing users with the problematic right-angle connector can receive a replacement cable with a straight connector if needed.
Additionally, a two-color indication / color coding will be introduced on the connector (e.g., purple-coated contact tips) so that users can recognize whether the connector is inserted correctly.
For PC enthusiasts, this incident is a warning signal: those who have installed power supplies with the questionable connector cable should check whether the connector is seated correctly or if a replacement is available. The incident also highlights how essential precise mechanical compatibility between power supply and graphics card has become in modern high-performance models.
We wanted to know in a survey how you handle gyms in Pokémon GO. Here are the results!
That was the survey: Recently, there was a discussion in the Reddit community about Pokémon GO whether to wait until the current defenders have held the gym for 8 hours before taking it over.
This is an “unwritten law” that some Pokémon GO communities partially follow and take seriously.
On the other hand, there are of course players who either do not know such a rule or simply ignore it. But after all, the game is also partly about conquering gyms for your team.
We wanted to know from you: How do you treat the subject? And the result was surprisingly clear.
Over 50% of participants wait 8 hours
This is how you voted: In the article about the unwritten law in Pokémon GO, we called for a survey among our readership. We wanted to know if you are aware of, follow, or ignore the rule.
As of now, a total of 2,032 of you have cast a vote! It’s time to look at the results:
51% and thus 1,041 votes were for “I adhere to the ‘unwritten law’ and wait 8 hours.”
22% voted for “I’ve never heard of it and just take over gyms.”
16% said: “I take the gym even though I know the ‘unwritten law.’”
And 11% said: “I’ve never heard of it, but I will try it.”
It’s an exciting result, considering that in the world of Pokémon, it’s always about becoming “the very best.” But apparently, that works very well too when everyone makes sure to get their coins. That would surely please Team Harmony as well.
In Pokémon GO, it’s of course not all about who takes a gym when and how. The majority of the game is about catching various Pokémon. And they usually come into the game during new events. So also in the coming month! If you want to know what’s coming up: Here you can find all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

The Elder Scrolls provides plenty of material for lore fans. Especially regarding the creation of the game world, as it would not have been possible without the sacred gods. Often, people pray to these figures and hear legends about their forms, but only a few know how powerful they are.
How is the ranking structured? In the world of The Elder Scrolls, there are two types of gods – the Aedra (sacred gods) and the Daedra (selfish gods). In our list, we refer to the 9 existing sacred gods who contributed to the creation of Mundus (the game world and the universe of mortals) and sacrificed themselves.
Only eight sacred gods are actually documented, but we also count Talos as the ninth, as he has a strong presence in Skyrim and is indispensable. The criteria of our ranking mainly focus on the functions and powers the gods possess. We compare these and evaluate them against each other.
If you have objections to our placement, feel free to suggest changes in the comments – we look forward to it! But now let’s get to our ranking.

Ein Entwickler von Bethesda sagt: Ein Release ohne Bugs sei unmöglich
Dibella represents beauty and art and is usually worshiped when it comes to sexual interactions between mortal beings. Naturally, she holds an important place regarding the culture of various peoples in Nirn, but when comparing her influence on a cosmological and physical level with that of the other gods, she falls somewhat short.
Zenithar is known for work, economy, and craftsmanship in Nirn. His values create order in society regarding the structures of everyday life. For the many peoples in The Elder Scrolls, he is certainly indispensable, but his power has more logical aspects that steer life towards harmonious paths. Without work and economy, there would of course be no functioning civilizations.
Those who wish to marry and procreate cannot bypass Mara. She is the mother of love and responsible for the growth of Nirn. If you now wonder why Dibella is not the same as Mara, you overlook a fine difference: Dibella represents more the fun and pleasure in the sexual lives of the peoples. Mara, on the other hand, is actively there to help civilizations grow through love, fidelity, and procreation.
Life and death are essential in the mortal world, as they provide balance within civilizations. Arkay is the god who oversees this change and ensures that beings who are dead remain dead. He also manages the souls of the deceased peoples. One might think of him as the master of undertakers. Since he merely oversees this natural process and does not actually initiate it, he takes rank 6 in our ranking.
Those who are curious will sooner or later turn to Julianos. The god of knowledge, laws, and magic is a beacon for flourishing civilizations because without knowledge there can be no progress. For many mortals, he is therefore hardly dispensable, as he is also associated with fields such as alchemy, sorcery, and enchanting.
Surely you have already come across the guardians of Stendarr. These paladins and their god fight for justice, as they ensure that Daedra are kept in check and all things occult are eliminated – for the benefit of mortals, of course. Even though he is not such a powerful figure, Stendarr ensures justice and order, and thus balance in the respective civilizations.
Kynareth could be seen as Mother Nature, as she is the goddess of air, sky, wind, and elements. Her power ensures that life in Nirn is even possible. This fact alone makes her one of the most powerful goddesses in The Elder Scrolls.
Talos is a contentious topic in the world of The Elder Scrolls. He was not significantly involved in the creation of Mundus, as he only emerged in the Third Era. It all started with Hjalti Earlybeard, a mortal general of the Second Era.
The Greybeards called him to High Hrothgar to crown him as Dragonborn and to teach him the way of the Voice. Later, he fought further battles as a general, even in Cyrodiil. He also helped his king, Cuhlecain, to the imperial throne. However, the success was only short-lived: Cuhlecain died in an assassination and Hjalti Earlybeard had his throat slit – but he survived.
As Tiber Septim, he took the throne and aimed to unite Tamriel. With the help of the Numidium (a giant Dwemer robot), Tiber Septim managed to unite Tamriel and crowned himself emperor of Tamriel.
After his death, he was glorified by the Nords for his successes as Talos. Only in the Fourth Era did other peoples begin to see him as a god, except for the Thalmor (a group of High Elves). Even though he is not part of the Aedra, his achievements and efforts in Tamriel have ensured that he could achieve godhood.
It is also rumored that Tiber Septim was one of the three Shezarrine (mortal reincarnations or aspects of Lorkhan). Lorkhan was the one who initiated the idea of Mundus. However, before Tamriel was united, the Aedra Auriel and Trinimac defeated him. One might say that Talos is a reincarnation of Lorkhan so that he also finds a place in the circle of sacred gods.
Rank 1: Akatosh – The Dragon God of Time
Akatosh
Akatosh, also known as the Dragon God of Time, is the most powerful of the nine gods. He is the protector of Mundus, and without his powers, the Daedra would have an easy time invading this world and causing chaos and destruction.
Before Akatosh existed, the universe was in a chaotic, timeless state of the Dawn Era. Through him, Mundus could maintain a linear timeline for life to develop. Thus, he represents the anchor of the world that keeps everything running.
Accordingly, he uses his power to keep the dangers of the Daedra at bay and is not averse to intervening in order to ensure the safety of the many peoples in Tamriel. In Oblivion, he took the form of a dragon, defeated Mehrunes Dagon, and sealed the Daedric Prince’s barrier forever.
No existing god (except Talos) has had such a powerful influence in Tamriel as Akatosh, which is why he belongs in first place with his power.

After endless rumors, it is now true: World of Warcraft is coming to console. But not in the way you think.
For many years it was a rumor and speculation. Basically, since 2014, there have been suspicions that World of Warcraft would eventually come to console. Now, Windows Central has confirmed it. Because WoW will appear on Xbox – but not quite as you might think.

WoW Midnight – The opening cinematic of the new addon shows the attack on Silvermoon
What has been revealed? In an article from Windows Central, details about the next Xbox console generation were revealed. It was also explained that some games will be playable on it that, at first glance, do not seem to fit. Among them: World of Warcraft.
WoW on Xbox – Just like all other PC games
What’s the catch? Those who think that World of Warcraft is coming to console and that the many signs have been validated are only partly correct. Because there isn’t really a dedicated console version of WoW.
Instead, the next Xbox generation will simply have full Windows integration, making it extremely close to a PC. Anyone who wants can open different platforms and launchers on the Xbox – such as Steam or Battle.net. Thus, the next Xbox is basically a PC and all PC games will be available to the console.
When will it happen? When the next generation of the Xbox console will be released is currently still uncertain. Therefore, there is also no set date for when WoW will come to console. This will at least fulfill part of the hopes of many gamers, allowing them to experience Azeroth – at least in some way – on a console. Whether a “real” version for PlayStation or even a Nintendo console will follow remains to be seen.

Starfinder, an upcoming role-playing game for Steam, not only learns from Baldur’s Gate 3 but can now also boast one of its stars.
Uh, what? Neil Newbon, the voice of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3, takes on the role of the companion Preach in the upcoming role-playing game Starfinder: Afterlight. The cRPG is based on the sci-fi offshoot of Pathfinder, one of the biggest competitors to Dungeons & Dragons.
Preach is a Shirren, grasshopper-like creatures. However, he scores not only with his appearance and Neil Newbon’s voice but also with the charm of a single father: Preach is dedicated to protecting the “Golden Child,” a cute larva-like creature.

What kind of game is this? Starfinder: Afterlight will be a role-playing game from the Spanish indie studio Epictellers. The developers have previously announced that they will learn from Baldur’s Gate 3 and place a strong emphasis on companions.
Player decisions should have noticeable consequences: If you are mean, the companion Kole loses his good mood; if you go too far, the Companions will even leave you completely.
To make companions truly shine, they enlisted high-profile support from experienced voice actors, whom you may have heard in games like Overwatch, Borderlands 4, and Dying Light: The Beast.
You can support Starfinder: Afterlight on Kickstarter until November 6, 2025. Although the original goal of 75,000 euros has been exceeded by more than 500,000 €, there remains one last stretch goal: If 600,000 euros are reached, the role-playing game will be fully voiced, right down to the last NPC.
However, it will still take a little while before you can experience the fantastic voice acting: An early access is planned for next year, with the release set for 2027.
In Battlefield 6, the pilots are currently dissatisfied. Their favorite vehicles are having issues and are being neglected.
Why are pilots asking for more love for aircraft? Jets and helicopters are currently in a difficult state in Battlefield 6. There are many strong ways to shoot the aircraft out of the sky. Some of them ignore all countermeasures, some destroy jets and helis with just one hit, and others strike without warning. Now, the pilots are demanding changes.
The content creator SilkOCE, who is regarded as one of the top 10 pilots in Battlefield, and has already achieved over 9,000 kills using only aircraft, posted a whole list of problems on X on October 24, which he believes need to be addressed.
The creator’s post received around 1,200 likes and was then shared on Reddit, where it also gathered over 2,700 upvotes and almost 1,500 comments.

Battlefield 6: Mit diesen Tipps werdet ihr zum besseren Squad-Spieler
Many problems, but no solution in sight
In the patch notes for the upcoming update on October 28, 2025, the various issues with aircraft are not addressed, while infantry players can look forward to news on topics such as the random spread of firearms (cf. X). Players like Silk are therefore asking for more love for their favorite toys.
What are the problems that need to be fixed? Silk lists several issues with aircraft gameplay that should be tackled by the developers:
The rockets of the stealth jet ignore countermeasures (flares).
Every laser-guided rocket ignores countermeasures (flares).
The warning system of the aircraft does not indicate when rockets from the stealth jet are fired at targets.
Radar is not functioning.
Refilling ammunition reserves is tied to a cooldown that is shared with the entire team.
The TTK (Time-to-Kill) of all aircraft is too fast.
TOW rockets are too easy to handle / too effective.
The operation of the guided missiles of the Bradleys is too easy.
RPG-7v2 has too high speed.
SRAW is too weak.
No jet loadouts.
The helicopter control assistance is faulty.
The automatic air defense of the base is too weak.
Jet bombs are too easily shot down by AA, even accidentally.
The attack helicopter has lost its laser-guided rocket.
However, the biggest problem right now seems to be the effectiveness of rockets targeting laser-marked targets. When a spotter has marked a helicopter or jet with a laser, it is guaranteed to be hit by the rockets. The rockets ignore countermeasures, and in the case of the guided missiles from the Bradleys, just one hit is enough to destroy any aircraft.
Infantry players do not want even stronger aircraft
This is what infantry players say: Even though some infantry players acknowledge that aircraft are having a hard time, especially because of the effectiveness of laser-guided rockets, others do not think that aircraft should be improved.
On X, a user asks how aircraft can be in bad condition when players like Silk regularly achieve rounds with over 100 kills. On Reddit, a user adds that he hated nothing more in Battlefield V than dying by bombs from an aircraft without having a chance to do anything about it.

In 7 vs. Wild, the contestants are out in the jungle in the current season. However, they have recently had trouble finding their way. A fan explains why this is.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for 7 vs. Wild Season 5 Episode 1–6.
What problems are the participants facing? The participants of 7 vs. Wild have recently been tasked with leaving their camp and moving on. They were given a compass heading of 264 degrees for this.
Although the participants adhered to the direction, they strayed very far off course. Because they were unable to find their destination, they decided to set up an emergency camp to continue their search the next day.
A fan has now analyzed why the participants have strayed so far off course and believes that the organization overlooked one thing.
Jens “Knossi” Knossalla was once a participant in 7 vs. Wild:

Compass, magnets, and physics
What does the fan believe? On Reddit, fan big0ale presents his theory. He is well-versed in using a compass and knows what to look for. While watching the series, it immediately came to his mind why the participants likely strayed from the path.
He elaborates in his post that magnetic north deviates from true north. He believes that the organization simply provided the contestants with the heading of 264 degrees without considering the magnetic declination.
Due to the declination, the contestants would automatically go 10 degrees off course, which is clearly visible in the series. Additionally, he suggests that the compass used by the contestants likely does not allow for declination correction and is not designed for the southern hemisphere.
What does this mean? For the fan, it is clear: The organization of 7 vs. Wild made a beginner’s mistake. While they specified 264 degrees, they should have actually indicated 274 degrees to guide the contestants correctly at that point. This could have been achieved using a tool.
Thus, according to the fan, the participants cannot reach their goal even if they walk perfectly straight without obstacles. The problem could therefore arise repeatedly in future episodes, as no matter how well the participants perform, they will always end up in the wrong place.

Which Pokémon is featured in the Spotlight Hour? Fatalitee will appear on Tuesday evening everywhere in the wild. It is an exciting catch that you shouldn’t miss.
Can Fatalitee be shiny? Yes, the shiny form of Fatalitee has been available since the Halloween event in Pokémon GO.
What bonus do you get? You will receive double candies for every catch you make during the Spotlight Hour. This is particularly interesting in connection with Fatalitee. We will summarize more about this for you below.
Select a MMO video…
Why is Fatalitee worth it during the Spotlight Hour of Pokémon GO?
Fatalitee is a relatively rare Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild, but not very often.
The most interesting point about this creature is that it comes in two forms: the counterfeit form and the original form.
The counterfeit form is encountered much more frequently, while the original form is very difficult to find. You will only find out which variant you have after catching it by having your team leader evaluate the creature. They will then tell you which version you have. Read more about Fatalitee’s forms here.
Another interesting point is that the original form requires a total of 400 candies to evolve into Mortipot. The counterfeit form only needs 50. But if you want to catch and evolve an original, you will need a lot of candies.
Thus, Tuesday is ideal for collectors: Many Fatalitee will appear during the Spotlight Hour, and you can try your luck to catch an original. And aside from that, you will gather plenty of candies to evolve it if needed.
What else is coming up in Pokémon GO? A lot. The current month is almost over, but in the upcoming one, you will have great opportunities to catch exciting Pokémon. Especially the Nature Zone event is interesting. If you want the overview, you can find it here: All dates in November 2025 for Pokémon GO.

The developers of Honor of Kings are celebrating a new milestone. 260 million players played the Chinese alternative to LoL last month, but the game is unknown in the West.
What kind of game is it? Honor of Kings is in China what League of Legends is in the West: the most successful MOBA. Unlike LoL, the Chinese alternative is fully focused on mobile, targeting an audience in China for whom mobile games are more than just a pastime.
At first glance, Honor of Kings seems like a copy of League of Legends, and some characters resemble the perennial favorite from the West. However, the two games differ significantly in their scope.
While rounds in League of Legends can last up to three-quarters of an hour, a round in HoK is typically over much quicker, usually within 20 minutes. Additionally, the depth of entry into Honor of Kings is predominantly easier compared to League of Legends, so newcomers receive constant tips from the game on what to buy, upgrade, and improve first.
Not only LoL is working on an MMORPG, the developers of Honor of Kings are doing that as well; you can see the trailer here:

Great success for Honor of Kings
How successful is the game? Honor of Kings does not hide in the shadow of League of Legends; on the contrary: The developers are now celebrating 260 million active users in just one month. This puts the title in direct competition with Robolox, which is currently considered the largest game in the world.
It also seems that the game is doing excellently financially. According to gam3s.gg, Honor of Kings alone generated 143 million USD in June 2025, which corresponds to about 123 million euros.
Similar to the Worlds in LoL, Honor of Kings also has a large, active esports scene in China. Here, professionals compete annually in front of large audiences for prize money in the millions.
How is the game performing in the West? As a mobile MOBA, Honor of Kings had a good start in the West. With over 50 million downloads alone in the Google Play Store, many players have tried the MOBA. This is also due to a large marketing campaign by the developers, who wanted to establish themselves in the West.
However, Honor of Kings has not really taken on the major competitor League of Legends and its strong fanbase. Instead, the developers, as in China, focused on mobile and thus carved out their own audience.
Whether the title can establish itself in the long term, even if the publisher Tencent does not provide as much budget for marketing anymore, remains to be seen.
Honor of Kings celebrates a significant milestone with 260 million active players. Few other games can compete with this, which highlights its success. However, in the West, there is still a key moment missing to really count the MOBA among the major players. Meanwhile, the developers revealed their plans for the big release to MeinMMO: Honor of Kings is huge in China and is expected to become big in Germany as well – developers explain their plans

A few days ago, the Minecraft project “Craft Attack” started its 13th round. 100 German-speaking content creators have come together to play Minecraft live on Twitch. However, one of the Twitch streamers was banned for a day even before the start.
What is Craft Attack? Craft Attack is a Minecraft project that involves various German-speaking content creators. It started in 2013 with only a handful of YouTubers participating.
Currently, the project is in its 13th season and includes 100 German-speaking content creators this year. Among them are Papaplatte, MontanaBlack, HandOfBlood, and CastCrafter (as seen in the title image).
The idea is for these content creators to come together on a Minecraft server and form teams. They build bases and come up with content to entertain their viewers. It’s about fun, creativity, and entertainment and is not intended to be a competition.
The special thing about this year’s season is that there is no end date.

“I screwed up”
Who has been banned and why? Twitch streamer Hugo “LetsHugo” Goedert is also participating in the 13th season of Craft Attack, but not on the first day. The Luxembourg content creator received a ban for that.
The reason: Before the project started, he revealed the results of the participants’ voting, thereby disclosing which other content creators would join the project. The outcome of the votes was supposed to remain a secret for the community at first.
LetsHugo said in a statement: “That’s valid. That’s completely valid. (…) I screwed up. That’s my fault.” (Source: TikTok). After his ban, LetsHugo was then allowed to join the Minecraft project.
How is Craft Attack doing at the moment? The start of the Minecraft project is already a big success. Looking at the Minecraft category on SullyGnome.com, there is an increase of 800% in watchtime among the German-speaking audience.
Moreover, you can’t get around Craft Attack on Twitch in the Minecraft category, at least when looking for German channels:

Steam is repeatedly a repository of various gaming highlights, which thousands of players simultaneously rush to. That a group of chain-smoking fathers on a camping trip can be turned into a successful game was probably something no one expected.
What game is it? In “RV There Yet?” we take on a very unusual role: We are a smoking, beer-drinking, camping-loving Boomer. And as a group of men, we have just one goal: to get our RV home.
The concept seems to work: Just on the first weekend after release, “RV There Yet?” reached 100,000 concurrent players (Source: SteamDB) and was received with a “very positive” rating on Steam.
Especially developer Nuggets Entertainment expresses being overwhelmed by the success of their originally just eight-week Game Jam project and thanks the rapidly growing community in the patch notes on Steam.

Players want to take their friends’ licenses away directly
How does RV There Yet? play? According to the community, it is mainly chaotic and funny. In the co-op physics simulation, up to four players try to maneuver an aging RV over daring bridges and narrow mountain paths – while bears, cliffs, and their own clumsiness constantly lead to disasters. One gamer sums it up in his Steam review as follows:
In this game, it is about drinking beer, driving cars with friends, and smoking cigarettes. Sometimes, it is about running after the RV when your friends decide to leave without you. Ultimately, it is about staying on the road.
Another user particularly highlights that the words “Vehicle Destroyed” will eventually “trigger you forever”. You can’t help but yell at your teammates and wonder, “whether some friends should even drive”.
Spirited Away is one of the greatest anime classics of all time. A creature from Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece is known by everyone: the No-Face. But what is this monster and what does it represent?
When Spirited Away was released in 2001, the film not only snagged an Oscar at the 2003 awards (albeit a bit late): it made Studio Ghibli famous worldwide and remains one of the most well-known anime films of all time.
The film captivates mainly through the colorful world into which protagonist Chihiro travels. The various spirits are the big highlight. The most famous inhabitant of this world is probably No-Face. But what is this spirit and what does it represent?

Spirited Away Trailer (English)
An Original Creation by Hayao Miyazaki
What is No-Face? Even though Miyazaki often draws inspiration from Japanese folklore, No-Face is not based on any mythological figure or Yōkai. It is an original creation. It is a large black creature with a mask for a face. The mask resembles Japanese Nō masks used for a special form of theater. Whether this was the original idea for the mask remains unclear.
In Japanese, No-Face is called Kaonashi. This translates roughly to faceless. This aligns with Miyazaki’s explanation, which was quoted by the x-account of Kinro_ntv (a special Friday TV slot on Nippon TV that regularly shows Ghibli films) in 2024. In German, Miyazaki says:
There are No-Faces everywhere. I believe there are people who want to attach themselves to someone, but who have no sense of self.
Why is this relevant for the film? In the film, No-Face, after showing that it can seemingly create gold, is besieged by the employees of the bathhouse. They praise it for its donations, which seems to please it. However, when Chihiro thanks it but does not accept its gift, it transforms into a mad monster that seemingly tries to consume everything out of greed.
When Chihiro confronts No-Face, she tells it: It would be better if you went home. […] Where is your family? Don’t you have a dad and mom? No-Face responds: No, no, I am alone, all alone.
Afterward, she travels with No-Face by train. While all the guests slowly exit the vehicle, No-Face and Chihiro remain. In the end, No-Face stays with the witch Zeniba and helps her in the house.
How can No-Face be interpreted? Along with Miyazaki’s statement, No-Face could be an identity-less spirit wandering forever to form its identity, good or bad. This spirit only does so through other beings, which is why it wants to please everyone. Therefore, No-Face became so greedy and gluttonous in the bathhouse because it adapted to the greed of others.
If one were to project this onto the real world, the film could point to people who desperately try to please everyone, but suppress their own interests, emotions, and thoughts. They adapt, but without showing and developing their own identity. However, in Spirited Away, No-Face had a good ending. The spirit was accepted by Zeniba without having to constantly give.
But this is just one interpretation of the film and Miyazaki’s words. As often, you can see Spirited Away and its characters from different perspectives. The Ghibli legend is also not known for explaining everything in his films. How the film ranks can be seen here: All Ghibli films ranked by IMDb

Final Fantasy XIV lets players often choose what they would like to have upon quest completion. And since the player character is known for savoring everything, they have a favorite.
How do rewards work in Final Fantasy XIV? For each completed quest, there is a reward in Final Fantasy XIV: There are always at least experience points for the level grind if the player character has not already reached the maximum level. There are also often a selection of other rewards.
In addition to buff food that temporarily improves the stats of the character, sellable gold coins are often offered as well. In a thread on Reddit, the coins are super popular as a reward, but not because of their selling value:
The player character, the Warrior of Light, is the voice behind the item descriptions in the game. For many absolutely absurd items, at least in English, there are descriptions of how something tastes. And some players now say they prefer the coins so that their Warrior of Light can attempt to eat them once more.

Take what tastes best!
How do players choose their rewards? The Reddit thread, however, is not about the (non) edible coins, of which Reddit user arisencrimsonchaos writes. Others also have slightly absurd reasons and ways of deciding on an item: I always choose the food that can be sold for the most money at the vendors when there is no better item available, writes MGIBlaze via Reddit.
Aesah, the author of the original post, has turned his method of choosing into a meme. He does not want to choose the reward food that gives the best buffs for his class, but rather the one that sounds the tastiest:

Most players, according to the comments, go for the items that bring them the most money at the market board or to the NPC vendors. A few others, however, write that they consider what their Warrior of Light would like to eat.
Are there other types of rewards? In addition to buff food and coins, there is often enough equipment, minions, or in rare cases, like the completion of an expansion, even mounts. Here, usually, the torment of choice is eliminated: Non-consumable items should presumably be available to every player.
Currently, Final Fantasy XIV is between patches. More specifically, this means that the features of patch 7.3 are completely live, and 7.4 is coming soon. The first information about upcoming content will be on December 31, 2025. Then the development team invites you to the next producer’s letter.

The content creator Wolfe “WolfeyVGC” Glick talks in his latest YouTube video about the experiences he had at Pokémon tournaments. Fans often approached him without his consent, which led to fear and stress on his part. Now he is drawing consequences for the future.
Who is it about? WolfeyVGC is a well-known YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and Pokémon player in the U.S. He holds the record for the most Regional Championships won and has also secured several victories at the National and International Championships. Additionally, he was even champion in 2016.
His content on YouTube and Twitch primarily revolves around Pokémon, and he has over 2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel (source: YouTube).
However, in his latest video, he doesn’t talk about Pokémon but discusses why he does not want to attend tournaments in the near future and what the reasons for that are.

“The number should be 0”
What experiences has WolfeyVGC had? WolfeyVGC reports that he has repeatedly been harassed by people at Pokémon tournaments. From September 2024 to August 2025, WolfeyVGC participated in a total of seven tournaments. He claims to have been groped at five of these tournaments.
While taking photos with fans, he claims to have been touched inappropriately, some of which was of a sexual nature. However, he says that this was one of the lesser problems, as it only happened “once or twice per tournament” (source: YouTube, from minute 04:19).
At the 2025 World Championships, WolfeyVGC had a stiff neck, which none of the fans took into consideration, the YouTuber says. They repeatedly allegedly touched his neck, causing him pain and discomfort. It eventually became so unbearable for him that the YouTuber had to leave early.
There are numerous other examples, according to WolfeyVGC. All of this is very stressful for him, and at tournaments he is constantly looking for rooms where he can retreat to calm down. After such events, he needs at least a week to reduce his stress and anxiety symptoms.
The community is shocked by these comments. For example, @i.ftekhar writes: “‘Only once or twice per tournament’? Uh, what? The number should be zero.”
WolfeyVGC blames this primarily on the parasocial behavior of some fans. He says that such fans make him feel more like a symbol than a human being. He finds it dehumanizing.
In addition, there is more and more hate on the internet, he says, not only against him, but also against his fellow players.
Please be normal. Most of you are normal. The majority of people are normal, but 0.1% of 2 million [YouTube subscribers] is still 2,000 people and that is not nobody.
What does he announce for the future? WolfeyVGC states that he only makes this video and takes these consequences because he sees no other way out. A video about the 2025 World Championships will not be uploaded on his YouTube channel. The experiences that resurface are too stressful.
In the near future, he will not attend any more Pokémon tournaments in person. Furthermore, he mostly wants to withdraw from social media and stream less on Twitch. However, his YouTube content will continue as usual.
A 70-year-old woman finds her old stuff that she used for Dungeons & Dragons and gives it to her granddaughter, who plays TTRPGs herself. She shows her treasure to the community, which emphasizes how cool her grandma actually is.
What did the player receive from her grandma? User SapphicSunsetter reports to the D&D community on Reddit that she received her grandma’s entire D&D collection, which had been stored in a storage unit for years. An attached picture shows player handbooks, guides for Dungeon Masters, and a lot of expansions mostly related to the second edition of the game, as well as the more complex and rule-heavy system of AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons).
The player writes that her grandma used to play quite a lot and remembers her granddaughter mentioning that she was interested in the game. Since she wanted to declutter anyway, she gave her not only the books but also a few figurines that can be used for playing. They are mostly a bit yellowed and dusty, some slightly torn, but other than that, in fairly good condition.
Since the player has only played the fifth edition of D&D and is also currently looking at other TTRPGs, she doesn’t really know what to do with the treasures, but she thinks it’s cool to see all the history that is in these items.
Here you can see the trailer for the fourth campaign of the famous group of Dungeons & Dragons, Critical Role:

“These are really good relics, kiddo” – the D&D community celebrates this find
What does the community point out? The D&D community is happy for the player and celebrates her grandma for being able to enjoy the game so much in her time – because that’s not necessarily a given. Dungeons & Dragons was much more niche in the 80s than it is now and was actually demonized in some strictly conservative circles, as several users report in the Reddit thread.
“That’s so cool!”, writes Nihilist47_ in reaction to the player’s find, “My grandma once told me D&D was evil when I was a child.”
The player explains on Reddit that she grew up in a place where people are much more open-minded and that she was taught early to separate reality and fiction, as well as morality and stories. However, the so-called “Satanic Panic” was completely crazy according to the player.
Also, Doc_Bedlam remembers the time when Dungeons & Dragons was part of the alleged movement that caused fear of satanic influences in society due to religious beliefs and panic triggered by the media: “I remember the Satanic Panic. […] Crazy is the right word.”
How do people otherwise react to the found treasures? The community is reminded of their own childhoods through the player’s and her grandma’s find and is happy to see the books they started playing with again – but they also feel quite old because of it.
“Grandma? Damn, I’m old,” writes Des8559 and also seaworks notes that time does not stand still: “‘From my grandma’ – I think I just turned to dust.”
Furthermore, SapphicSunset’s grandma is welcomed by gamers around the same age with a virtual hug, beside her coolness and the nice gesture.
“Give your grandma a big hug from us old players,” writes Tall-Peak8881, “Seriously, that’s a treasure. Forget the old mechanics, but the lore, the characters, the monsters, and pure fantasy will make up for years of campaigns. Ask her about her campaigns, about the NPCs she played, the players. A wealth of knowledge and ideas for further adventures, you could use those experiences to start new campaigns.”
