In the early 2000s, the comedy series Scrubs captivated countless viewers. In 2026, the series is set to return after 17 years. MeinMMO provides you with all the information you need to know.

What is the Scrubs revival about? Currently, nothing is known about the possible plot of the continuation. According to the first teaser, they seem to ignore the premise of season 9. The known characters appear to be working together in a hospital again.
Season 9 focused on the training of new doctors, and many familiar characters were hardly seen. The revival therefore seems to focus again on the well-known characters, who now have even more responsibilities, such as being parents.

The race to see who has the best guild in World of Warcraft starts again. We will show you how to watch live.
Although World of Warcraft Midnight has been live for a few weeks now, the “real” endgame starts only now – with the release of the mythic difficulty level for raids and the “Mythic+” category for dungeons. This moment is today – at least in the USA. For us, the unlock will come tomorrow (March 25, 2026), but reporting about the World First Race begins today – and the US guilds can take advantage of their lead.
Select a MMO video…
Why is this race special? The first World First Race of WoW: Midnight brings a few unique features that set it apart from previous races. These are mainly:
Many addons are no longer allowed. Strong addons like “WeakAuras” are a thing of the past and can no longer be used.
There are 3 raids with different numbers of bosses (1, 6, and 2), allowing progress to be made on several fronts.
How is the winner determined? This will likely be a matter of interpretation. Since there are three different raids, theoretically, there could be a separate winner for each raid instance. Generally, however, the final fight in the march to the Sunwell, namely “Midnight Falls,” is considered the last boss that will decide the race.
Method, Team Liquid, and Echo aim for victory
Where can you watch? If you want to watch the professionals live as they attempt to defeat the toughest bosses in World of Warcraft, you can check out the live streams here as soon as they are available:
What is the issue with the World First Race? For many years, there has been a complaint that the “World First Race” does not proceed entirely fairly. This is because this race is not officially supported by Blizzard. Due to differing maintenance schedules, players in Europe and the USA start at different times. Typically, American players have a time advantage of about half a day.
However, there is no easy solution to the dilemma, because if one simply took the “time until the kill” – that is, subtracting 12 hours for Europeans – it wouldn’t be fair either. In many cases, Americans are still dealing with bugs that have already been fixed in the EU. Moreover, the second place generally benefits from being able to mimic the winner’s strategies.
Yet despite this small inconsistency, the “Race to World First” remains highly popular and is followed by fans around the globe. Let’s see how long it takes this time until all 9 bosses of the first raid tier are down.

The trailers for Crimson Desert have made a big impression on fans with their mounts. However, it seems that the pleasure is only short-lived.
Why do players feel cheated? The discontent in the Crimson Desert community is growing. The cause is the trailers that set high expectations for exciting mounts.
Dragons, bears, raptors, and wolves were shown as mounts. But they are not what players expected.
Here you can see a trailer for Crimson Desert:

False Expectations
What are the special mounts really like? Contrary to what players expected, bears, wolves, and the like cannot be used as alternatives to horses. They can only be temporarily tamed and quickly escape from submission.
Only the dragon can be properly “tamed,” but it has another major disadvantage. Although it is a single-player game, the dragon can only function as a mount about once per hour before it goes back on cooldown.
Fans feel cheated because they thought that when they heard about 30 different mounts, all of them would be tamable, and that later in the game they could ride dragons, wolves, and bears into battle, instead of continuing on the starter horse.
What are players saying about the feature? Players do not understand why the developers have made such strong restrictions in a single-player game. They feel it is unnecessary to even tame wolves, bears, and the like when the fun is only for a very short time.
The dragon’s one-hour cooldown also spoils the fun for players. Correspondingly annoyed, they write on Reddit:
WanderingMustache: “I don’t even understand why they would do that. It’s a solo game, who am I hurting if I put the bear in the stable? Or if I want to ride the dragon for 2 hours straight? Shame on them for taking away the fun.”
DREAM066: “Add it as a quest to learn how to tame each of them….. that’s kind of what I thought they would do. Let the better mounts have obviously harder missions.”
RocMerc: “They have entire trailers showing mounts, and you can’t keep them lol?”
BathDepressionBreath: “Something like a 5-minute cooldown? Sure. Technical reasons. Balancing. Whatever. A damn hour??? And it’s not even permanent flying.”
Even though Crimson Desert is not planned as a live-service game, the desire for change in this regard is quite clear.
Crimson Desert has cool mounts, but if they can only be used briefly, players lose interest in them. Whether the developers will address this change themselves or modders will tackle the issue remains to be seen.

After the rocky start of Crimson Desert, the open-world adventure is recovering and has also set a new record.
How did the weekend go for Crimson Desert? After the open-world adventure launched on Thursday evening, the peak player count on Friday and Saturday could not be surpassed. The poor reviews that players had initially given likely deterred hesitant buyers.
However, Crimson Desert was able to set a new record on Sunday: According to SteamDB, a peak of 248,000 players were playing simultaneously, surpassing the previous record of 239,000 players.
However, much more important than the new record are the better reviews on Steam that are currently coming in.
Here you can watch a trailer for Crimson Desert:

Better Reviews
How does Crimson Desert currently stand? After Crimson Desert received only mediocre reviews from the press, players initially punished the open-world adventure as well. The flat story, annoying controls, and lack of explanation dampened many players’ first impressions.
However, after the release weekend, Crimson Desert is looking better. On Monday, March 23 at 1:00 PM, the overall ratings are at 70% positive on Steam. A significant improvement that raises the label from “Mixed” to “Mostly Positive”.
This is particularly important for casual buyers who have not engaged deeply with the title and discover the game among the top sellers on Steam. But the strengths of Crimson Desert are also showing.
Is the tutorial still a problem? Yes, the tutorial remains an issue, as the reviews on Steam indicate. Crimson Desert reveals its strengths only after the tutorial. Especially those who make it through the first chapter and spend about 10 hours in the open world see why Crimson Desert is not as bad as the first impression might suggest.
This is also clearly shown by the ratings on Steam, as among players who have spent more than 10 hours in Crimson Desert, the adventure is rated at 84%. Among German-speaking players with over 10 hours in the game, Crimson Desert even stands at 89%, almost perfect, and is truly impressive.
Scrubs has had many guest star appearances throughout its 9 seasons. But one stands out to this day. Not only because the hero of your childhood embodies a strong doctor.
In 2 episodes of Season 3, he plays the doctor Dr. Kevin Casey. He remains memorable not only because he is a good actor but also because he brings much more than a supporting character usually does.
Start video
Scrubs shows in the 2nd teaser for the revival that J.D. and Turk can still joke around after 16 years
Dr. Kevin Casey is the true star of Season 3
What makes Kevin Casey such a special character? In Episode 12 of Season 3, Dr. Kevin Casey is introduced for the first time. He is a guest professor and also an internist and surgeon, making him perfect for J.D., Elliot, and Turk. J.D. even calls him Superdoc, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Michael J. Fox fits perfectly into the dynamics of the series right from the start. He has great comedic timing and a past with Dr. Cox. Both were interns together. Cox, as J.D.’s role model, disappoints the young doctor in the episode. He refuses to go out for drinks with him, and when J.D. wants his help, he is only insulted.
That’s where Casey comes in handy. He quickly develops into a new role model for J.D. and acts as the perfect antithesis to Cox: Casey accepts his problems and seems to be the best doctor anyone has seen in that hospital. He even defeats Dr. Cox. Within the 2 episodes, he seemingly changes the lives of all the main characters. Casey is simply the great idol for all doctors.
However, as the episode progresses, it becomes clear that it’s not as positive as it seems at first. Casey shows the doctors what they will never achieve. Turk can never become such a good surgeon, and Dr. Cox is not the best doctor in the world.
But: While Casey is one of the best doctors to be seen in Scrubs, he is also not the super doctor he is initially portrayed as. At the end of Episode 13, a weak moment is shown. After an operation, he washes his hands for hours. After J.D. sees this, Casey’s mentor status for J.D. breaks, and he mentally concludes: I believe that if you carry your package, half the battle is won.
Turk wants to build a family with Carla and has other priorities than just being the best. Dr. Cox has a son to be proud of. For J.D., Turk, and Dr. Cox, this represents strong character development, which also solidifies the further course of the series and the decisions made. J.D. concludes the episode with the words: And yet everything is only half as wild when you consider what others have to cope with.
The episodes with Casey show how much personal success or the success of others is romanticized and that there are indeed limits. No matter how good one wants to be, limits are reached. This applies to J.D., Dr. Cox, Turk, and indeed to every person. Dr. Casey represents this very well in the episode, without feeling like a foreign body.
It almost feels like he has been there for several episodes already. Michael J. Fox embodies him wonderfully and holds his own against the other actors. He is funny, but the dramatic scenes regarding his illness also leave an impression. He is not just a guest star; he is one of the best characters in the entire run of Scrubs.
Michael J. Fox has struggled with Parkinson’s disease since he was 29. According to michaeljfox.org, he initially kept the disease a secret and continued to work as an actor. He acted in 103 episodes of the series Spin City between 1996 and 2001. During the filming of Season 3, he publicly announced his diagnosis, and after Season 4 of the series, he stated that he would no longer work full-time as an actor but focus on raising funds for Parkinson’s disease to advance research.
However, he still played in several supporting roles afterward. These include roles in Scrubs, Zootopia 2, or Shrinking. Between 2013 and 2014, he even released his own series The Michael J. Fox Show. It is also no coincidence that he appears in Scrubs and Shrinking. Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs, also worked on Spin City as a co-creator and has been working on Shrinking since 2023.
Thus, the actor behind Dr. Casey is also a good example that one should not give up despite a tragic fate.
What does MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes find so special about Dr. Casey? The greatest compliment I must give to Michael J. Fox: Dr. Casey does not feel like a guest appearance. If someone had told me he had been there since Season 1, I would probably have believed it.
This hero of many childhoods fits perfectly into the cast of Scrubs and unites the beautiful, funny, but also sad elements of the series in his character – and that in just 2 episodes. This is not only a masterpiece of the script but also of Michael J. Fox, whose role as Dr. Casey will likely stay in my memory even more than Back to the Future.
Are you having problems in the depths of World of Warcraft? With our 5 tricks, your visit will be much easier – and the loot is guaranteed.
The depths have become a true pillar of endgame content in World of Warcraft. Especially for solo fans, these “mini-dungeons” offer the opportunity to earn some really good gear that they couldn’t get otherwise. This makes the depths so lucrative that even raid fans should occasionally drop by to secure guaranteed loot with item level 259.
However, the depths have changed a bit since their first introduction at the beginning of The War Within. If you’re not exactly sure what to pay attention to in the depths, we have 5 tips for you.
Select a MMO video…
Collecting Small Treasures
In each depth, there are about 10 small treasures – sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. These are fabric bags with a blue border that you can see on the ground. They are often located off the main path.
In The War Within, these treasures became somewhat useless after a while, but in Midnight, they always have gameplay value – this is due to their content.
Small treasures contain, in addition to empty light chalk, resources and experience for Valeera a new thing:
buffs.
Each small treasure contains a golden orb that can grant your character various buff effects. These bonuses only apply for the current depth, but they persist beyond death and can make a significant difference.
These blue bags contain not just loot – but also strong buffs!
The buffs range from an increase in hit points to a reduction in damage taken to an increase in your primary and secondary attributes. If you collect all the small treasures, you can enjoy 20% more hit points, 15% more mastery, 10% more haste, and 10% more primary attribute at the end of a depth. These are significant differences as if you were wearing gear that is 10 to 30 levels above your current gear.
This also includes the campfire that Valeera sets up at the beginning. Use it, as it also grants a 10-minute buff that increases your primary attribute by 5%.
Special Talent Build Just for Depths
Depths are a pillar of endgame in World of Warcraft – even more so with Midnight than in The War Within. Accordingly, you should also regard the depths. For most players, it’s common to have different talent specializations for different content.
They have one talent distribution for raids, another for dungeons, and one for PvP.
That’s exactly how you should treat the depths.
In the depths, you can benefit from talents that you otherwise wouldn’t utilize in other gameplay content.
To give a simple example: As a priest, depths are significantly more relaxing if you take “Mind Control” as a talent. This allows you to basically subdue an elite enemy as a permanent pet and use it throughout the entire depth. This not only dramatically increases your damage, but you also have an additional tank on whom the threat falls if you were to normally give it to Valeera with “Fade”.
A specialization just for the depths can be worthwhile.
Especially additional control and movement effects are worth their weight in gold in the depths. Because sometimes it is not necessary to kill an enemy particularly quickly. It can also be enough to keep that enemy at a distance long enough for Valeera to beat it up.
Take your time to study your talent tree more closely. You’ll find many talents that you would have dismissed in dungeons or raids, but
Utilizing Environmental Effects
One thing that was already present in The War Within but has been drastically expanded in Midnight is the environmental effects in the depths.
At first glance, these are annoying elements that make your visit to the depth more exhausting. Traps that you need to avoid. Watchful eyes that discover you and shortly thereafter fire a barrel attack at you. Big mushrooms that you need to defuse before they explode in an area effect.
In some depths, you gain additional buttons or new mechanics – most can be used against enemies.
The catch with all these effects: They are neutral. This means they deal damage to both you and Valeera – but also to all enemies!
You can significantly simplify a depth by regularly pulling enemies into these harmful effects and positioning yourself so that you are not hit. Depending on the difficulty of the depth, these effects can cost 20% to 40% of an enemy’s hit points and thus reduce a seemingly immortal elite enemy into much more manageable sizes.
Leveling and Using Valeera
It may sound simple and trivial, but it can make a huge difference. Valeera is your companion in the depths and depending on what level she has already reached, depths are either a strenuous event or a pleasant walk in the park of Silvermoon.
This is because Valeera scales in different ways:
On one hand, her strength depends on your equipment. As your item level increases, so too do Valeera’s stats.
The second scaling is through her level. While Valeera learns new skills in the first 10 levels, she gains a percentage increase in her damage (or healing as a healer or hit points as a tank) at all subsequent levels.
So if you feel that Valeera is not yet realizing her full potential, visit a few depths and level her up. This also works with alternate characters (best at the maximum level), since your Valeera has the same progress across all characters.
The higher Valeera’s level, the more damage she deals – the increase is quite drastic.
Sooner or later, you’ll be confronted with the fact that Valeera deals significantly more damage than you do. This makes depths much more relaxed and ensures that in DPS specialization, you can easily transfer threat to Valeera, making the fight even more relaxed – even if she is not a tank.
Note that these bonuses are also stackable with the small treasures. This makes you even more powerful and you can potentially complete depths whose recommended item level is 20 or more levels above what you are actually wearing, taking into account all other tips.
Depths not only offer interesting gameplay and a nice opportunity to collect solid gear for your character – they can even yield some of the best gear in the game. Because every week you can snag a guaranteed hero item with item level 259 if you follow this tip.
Additionally, it can be a valid strategy to simply run away when a fight seems hopeless. Let Valeera continue beating up enemies while you create distance. This way, a seemingly hopeless battle can often still be won, as Valeera often simply executes enemies at under 30% health.
In addition to the small buff effects you get from the treasures, you can gain significantly larger buffs at the end of a depth. In the final reward chests, there can be epic items that are consumed instantly upon pickup.
These effects are significantly stronger and are active in your next depth – as long as you complete this depth within the next 24 hours (in-game time, not real time).
There are different effects, which, however, are all relatively similar in strength. We are talking about bonuses in the range of 10% to your primary attribute.
It is not guaranteed that you will receive such a buff at the end of the depth – but if you do collect it, you should consider whether to choose a higher difficulty in your next depth and take on a greater challenge.
Note that these bonuses are also stackable with the small treasures. This makes you even more powerful and you can potentially complete depths whose recommended item level is 20 or more levels above what you are actually wearing, taking into account all other tips.
Depths not only offer interesting gameplay and a nice opportunity to collect solid gear for your character – they can even yield some of the best gear in the game. Because every week you can snag a guaranteed hero item with item level 259 if you follow this tip.

AMD successfully sells gaming CPUs because for years it has relied on two CPU sockets, among other things. Intel takes a different approach here, but is no longer as successful. That could change.
Both AMD and Intel successfully sell processors for gamers. In addition to its X3D architecture, AMD made another important decision. The company behind Radeon and Ryzen has relied on the same socket for its processors for years. The socket is the part of the motherboard where the CPU is mounted. And you can only put certain CPUs into very specific sockets; otherwise, you will damage the hardware.
Intel has been taking a different approach for years, relying on many different sockets, but that could soon change and represent a meaningful improvement for potential buyers.

Intel releases a new CPU socket every two years, AMD only every 5 years
What is the current situation? If you compare AMD and Intel processors away from performance, you will quickly notice that Intel releases a new socket for its processors about every two years, which in turn requires a new motherboard. Simply put, you have to replace half of your hardware every time you want to upgrade the CPU.
AMD takes a different approach: In a period where Intel releases 5 sockets, there are only 2 from AMD: AM4 and AM5. Both have supported a variety of processors over the years and were released 5 years apart (2017 and 2022). Moreover, AM5 is expected to receive official support at least until 2027. This makes upgrading within different generations cheaper and therefore more attractive.
What could change? Robert Hallock, Intel’s PR head, stated in an interview with the magazine Club386.com that the team is thinking a lot about future products. When asked whether future Intel desktop sockets will support multiple CPU generations, Hallock responded as follows:
One thing that users should really be clear about is that I, my team, and we ourselves are primarily PC builders and enthusiasts. Every single one of us has built his own PC and played on that PC. That wasn’t always the case at Intel.
But there is a new product management team, a new business team, a new marketing team, and a new development team for these gaming CPUs. And we do not ignore feedback on our products. We watch it very closely … we can respond to some of that feedback within six months, a year, or three years. But we are listening, and that feedback is very important. It critically influences how we think about our products and our roadmap.
Basically, he wants to say that Intel has a new team for gaming-specific CPUs that consists of hardcore enthusiasts and therefore knows the requirements of enthusiasts and in the area of gaming desktops very well.
And CPU sockets also seem to be a topic. In the future, Intel could also introduce a socket that supports multiple generations of processors. This would make its products more attractive again.
When changes could happen was not specified by Hallock, and it could still take a while. Because already this year, the next socket from Intel, the LGA 1954, is coming to the market, which is supposed to support the new Nova-Lake CPUs. Additionally, product lines such as graphics cards or processors are designed over several years and planned with board partners.
GPUs are the most important part of many gamers’ PCs, and they are often the most expensive. Therefore, a potential loss is particularly painful. However, a particularly resilient graphics card managed to withstand a fire, and is now operational again after minimal repairs.
What is behind the burned graphics card? The repair expert Brother Zhang deals with a special case in his YouTube video from March 21, 2026. According to him, he received an RTX 4060 from a user who experienced a house fire. The tinkerer was positively surprised by the condition of the card when he opened it.
From the outside, the card is strongly discolored and some screws have already fallen out of their holes, but aside from the burn marks on the cooler and ash inside and outside the GPU, it is said to be nearly undamaged.
It is also astonishing that, according to the YouTuber, nothing else survived the fire and the entire computer looks like a total loss.

A quick shower later, everything is forgotten
How did the YouTuber repair the card? In the video, the tinkerer shows how he carefully disassembled the card and then checked it for short circuits. After he reportedly found none, he cleaned the component and successfully tested it on his PC afterward.
For cleaning the circuit board, the tinkerer reportedly used tap water, some soap, and a toothbrush in the video. After washing it, he fully dried the GPU before checking it for short circuits again.
Important: We do not recommend cleaning your graphics card using the same method. This can easily cause damage, and your warranty will also expire (according to Asus)! If necessary, clean the GPU instead with cotton swabs, some cleaning alcohol, and a weak compressed air cleaner (see YouTube).
Since the original cooler of the 4060 is junk, the YouTuber installed a heatsink from an RTX 4060 Ti to finish his quick repair.
The YouTuber shows the burned PC in the video.
What should I do if my GPU is damaged? If your hardware no longer works or has been affected by external influences, there are several options:
Send the part to the seller/manufacturer. This is often the fastest and most straightforward option for many users. Just be aware of the specific warranty regulations that may vary by manufacturer. For example, NVIDIA does not cover cases of force majeure, like flooding (according to NVIDIA). However, even without a warranty, you can often send in cards, but you will have to bear the costs yourself.
Alternatively, you could have the PC part repaired at a specialized shop. In many larger cities, there are computer specialty stores that also repair parts. Just ask them and request a quote. Otherwise, any repair costs could quickly surprise you.
Finally, we recommend not to attempt to repair GPUs yourself without the necessary tools and know-how. The chance of success is low, and it’s easy to cause permanent damage. Additionally, it’s dangerous to tamper with defective components, so be careful, or you might end up like another gamer: User has to watch as his graphics card spontaneously goes up in flames, loses €3,000 in 30 seconds

In ARC Raiders, you shoot with makeshift guns made from scrap metal. A weapons expert assesses how realistic these weapons are.
Who is the expert? Jonathan Steven Ferguson is a British historian and firearms expert. He serves as the firearms curator for the “Royal Armouries” Museum in Leeds, the national museum of arms and armor. The Royal Armories holds one of the largest collections of weapons in the world.
In November 2025, Ferguson appeared on the YouTube channel “EXP” and took a look at the various firearms in the extraction shooter ARC Raiders in a video.

Weapons expert shows models for the firearms in ARC Raiders
What does the expert say about the weapons? While the historian refrains from making a final judgement like “The game’s weapons are realistic/unrealistic”, he categorizes the various weapons, discusses details, and shows possible inspirations from real life.
For example, Ferguson explains that the “Rattler”, an assault rifle in ARC Raiders, is likely visually inspired by the French Chauchat rifle (Model 1915), which he identifies by the curved magazine. A significant difference compared to the original, however, is that the Rattler’s magazine is fixed and the ammunition is reloaded individually through an opening on top. The Chauchat rifle, on the other hand, has a magazine that can be easily swapped out.
The “Torrente” (LMG) reminds the historian of the MG42 with its loading lever and barrel jacket, although he criticizes a rattling housing cover. This is likely meant to represent the aesthetic of post-apocalyptic DIY weaponry but would lead to issues with a real MG: “When the top cover is opened, your weapon doesn’t work.”

When it comes to the “Kettle”, Ferguson thinks of the “Calico”. However, he points out that the real weapon doesn’t have a tank with compressed air or similar on top, but rather the magazine is there. The Kettle, in addition to the tank, also has a magazine on the side.
The Arpeggio, also an assault rifle, has, according to Ferguson, borrowed elements of an AK with an AR loading lever due to its trigger guard. However, when it comes to the four struts of the housing, he thinks of the “Walther WA 2000”, but without the casing and heavily modified.
Are the weapons realistic or not? Overall, Ferguson gets the impression that knowledge of weapon technology has partly been lost in this world through the weapons of ARC Raiders. He speculates: “People reinterpret what they salvage from old magazines or photos from the surface.”
Many elements of the various weapons remind the expert of real models, but some details, like the rattling housing cover of the Torrente or some wires on the weapons, make little sense. However, he praises that the weapons “work” in the hands of the raiders and are not just static.
Which weapons in ARC Raiders are particularly good and which ones you should carry with you during your raids on the surface will be shared by MeinMMO author Christos in the following article – how realistic the weapons are, of course, played no role: ARC Raiders: The best weapons for every situation

A series like One Piece on Netflix requires stunt doubles to perform the sometimes dangerous actions of the characters instead of the actors. The fans have seen a photo of the lookalikes and can only think of one thing.
The filming of a series or movie can be dangerous at times, especially when there are action-packed scenes. For this, stunt doubles are used, who visually resemble the originals, especially in terms of physique.
They take the place of the originals during stunts, with the switch being hardly noticeable in the final scene. Often, visual effects are additionally used, such as overlaying the face of the actual actor onto the double.
The adaptation of One Piece on Netflix also employed doubles. They elicit amused reactions from fans of the original and evoke memories of a group of fraudsters.
In Season 2, new villains were again present, which you can see in the trailer:

The fake Straw Hat crew is ready!
How do fans react to the doubles? A picture of the stunt doubles, showcasing the lookalikes of Luffy, Nami, Zoro, and Sanji, is circulating on Reddit.

Below, numerous fans are amused that while the doubles somewhat resemble their originals at first glance, upon closer inspection, differences become apparent.
Where most comments agree: the group would be the ideal cast for the fake Straw Hat crew, behind which lies the Nisemugiwara pirate crew.
They first appear in chapter 598 of the manga and in episode 517 of the anime. It is a group of fraudulent pirates who take on the roles of the original Straw Hat crew while they are working on their comeback after a severe setback.
The users on Reddit already think that the stunt doubles would be perfect for the fraudsters:
“If the live-action adaptation makes it that far, I hope they become the fake Straw Hat crew,” writes Evil_phd.
“If Luffy’s stunt double could gain weight before the time skip, we would probably have our fake Straw Hat crew,” says trainwrecktragedy.
“They focused so much on the stunt doubles that even the Straw Hat has its own stunt double,” finds Hermano_tastico. Indeed, the straw hat of stunt Luffy looks exceedingly large in the photo.
For the casting as the Nisemugiwara pirate crew, the showrunners still need to work a bit on the appearance of the doubles. The fake Luffy, for example, is significantly bulkier than the real one.
Besides that, some doubles seem to even please fans more than the actual cast. NewtWhoGotBetter writes: This Zoro actually matches exactly what I’ve always wished for the live-action adaptation. I’ve always thought that Zoro should look a bit older than he is, a bit rougher or more intimidating.
What would speak against a casting? The user Aggravating_Mud8751 points out an important point: “However, stunt doubles are not always actors, at least not in the same sense as the main actors. Some of the fake Straw Hats have speaking roles and require an actor.”
However, it has already happened in the past in other films or series that former stunt doubles suddenly appeared in real roles. A prominent example is Zoë Bell, who was Uma Thurman’s double in Kill Bill. She impressed Quentin Tarantino so much that he cast her a few years later in Death Proof in a leading role.
In Crimson Desert, a user found AI images on the walls and confronted the developers. They are now admitting mistakes, apologizing, and want to make amends.
What kind of images are they? In Crimson Desert, users discovered AI images on the walls shortly after the release. They display typical problems such as disappearing legs or arms becoming legs.
The discovered AI images were primarily paintings and other 2D assets hanging in buildings that players initially did not notice. However, the discovery was a big shock for the fans.
Previously, it was clearly stated that Crimson Desert was not designed using AI. But the users were right, as the developers are now admitting major flaws.
You can watch the trailer for Crimson Desert here:

Developers’ Apology
How are the developers responding to the accusations? The developers of Crimson Desert have admitted that the paintings are indeed AI-generated assets.
According to a statement on X.com, they were used as placeholders in the early development phase to give the developers a sense of the world and atmosphere, so they wouldn’t have to look at missing textures.
According to the developers, it has always been their intention to replace these assets before release and deliver quality as promised.
However, this did not go as planned, which is why the assets made it into the final game. They are also stating that they should have expressed the fact they used AI beforehand in their statement.
What happens next? The developers of Crimson Desert have stated that they want to examine all assets in the game for traces of AI and will replace the AI assets with real graphics in the upcoming patches.
At the same time, the developers announced that they will conduct an investigation into their own processes to ensure that such mistakes do not happen in the future. They also want to work on transparency during development and communication with players.
Every player of League of Legends is unique and has their own playstyle. Sometimes, however, a personal way of playing can be a bit exhausting for teammates. A LoL pro has now found out that he belongs to the most exhausting type.
Which pro is it about? The Swedish supporter Rekkles has been playing League of Legends professionally since 2012. He used to play as an ADC and achieved some success, including several titles in the LEC, the European league.
What did Rekkles say? In a clip from his stream on Reddit, Rekkles talks about his concerns as a teammate. There, he asks the following: “Does everyone hate playing with me?”
In the same clip, he expresses his perception of himself and says he thought he had always been a good team member.
The reason for his doubts were various situations where other pros criticized him. One of the main reasons was a clip from his teammate Crownie (reddit.com).

Crownie’s long-time partner insults him during a round in LoL
What did Crownie say? During a solo round, Crownie randomly played together with Rekkles. As in the pro scene, both were on the bot lane as ADC and support, but the players’ names in solo ranked are replaced with other names from the LoL universe.
This means Crownie did not know that his support was Rekkles. As the round neared its end, Crownie started to insult Rekkles for his playstyle. He did not use his ultimate to save Crownie.
He further insulted Rekkles as “Dogshit” and expressed that such behavior should be permanently banned. Additionally, Crownie criticized Rekkles’ champion selection, which reinforced his opinion towards the permaban.
How did Crownie find out that he was insulting Rekkles? After a match ends, a screen appears where players can honor each other. There, Crownie eventually realized that it was Rekkles.
What are fans saying on the topic? The Reddit user Dependent_Swan_8142 mentions a reason for the hate towards Rekkles and writes: “Nattynat (one of the pros who criticized him) said it was because Rekkles completely muted himself, making it impossible to communicate with him during the game.”
Other users also write that Rekkles often turns on what is called Fullmute. This describes when a player blocks all communication with their team. The blocking of important pings to Rekkles is particularly criticized (reddit.com).
Why is Fullmute exhausting? Communication is one of the most important elements in a competitive game like LoL. A Fullmute player is among the most exhausting, as a Fullmute prevents them from ever playing well in sync with their team. (reddit.com).
Fans mention another reason: Rekkles’ playstyle is also mentioned as a reason by his fans. He plays for KDA (Kills, Deaths, Assists), meaning to die as little as possible and gather as many kills or in the case of a supporter assists (reddit.com).
The Reddit user Cryptidangel writes that this playstyle is unpopular among aggressive solo players and that is why Rekkles is not liked as a teammate.
Rekkles’ last team, Los Ratones, disbanded in February 2026. A final attempt to get into the LEC failed in front of nearly 600,000 viewers on Twitch. With Team Witchcraft, he is now trying to achieve new successes, however, he revealed in a stream that he is soon looking for new alternatives: “The Return of the ADC King” – LoL pro gives fans hope for a comeback in his old role

An own Xal’atath in the bedroom – a dream for some fans of World of Warcraft. One was able to fulfill it for quite small money.
Xal’atath is the current antagonist in World of Warcraft and has a quite extensive history now. She started in Legion as the “Knaifu Waifu” of the shadow priest, and in Battle for Azeroth, she got an elven body and since then enjoys steering the fates of Azeroth and the cosmos and being responsible for drastic changes in the game world.
Select a MMO video…
With so much presence in the game, it is hardly surprising that Xal’atath is extremely popular with parts of the community and some wish for a little more from her (no, not just the feet).
But one fan apparently hit the jackpot, as he now has a life-sized Xal’atath standing in his room.
What kind of statue is it? As a picture says more than a thousand words, just take a look yourself:

It is a life-sized Xal’atath on a pedestal in white color, with many details. She practically hovers in the air and will probably loom over most (lower mortals) significantly. The fact that she apparently ended up in a nerd cave, surrounded by shelves full of games, movies, and consoles, makes it clear: Someone has fulfilled a dream.
But anyone who believes that thousands of euros were necessary is mistaken, as the lucky buyer writes:
I found this on the Facebook Marketplace for 300 $, the seller just wanted to cover the material costs. This is fantastic, and if you’re reading this, Ryan, you’re simply the best!
Xal’atath at cost price
Why was the statue so cheap? The creator of the statue also chimed in on the Reddit post and explains why he parted with Xal’atath for such a low price. He writes:
Hey, that’s me! That was 17 kg Sunlu White Pla. The total cost was 242 $ for the filament. And yes, my wife supports my hobbies :). I like to challenge myself, and it wasn’t really about making money.
It seems a buyer got quite lucky and can now enjoy having a life-sized statue of Xal’atath in the room that always looks down with judgment at the smallest mistakes in dungeons or raids.
What will happen to the statue? The happy owner is still not sure how he wants to proceed with the statue. He actually intended to find someone to paint the statue with the correct colors, yet the many positive comments already saying that it already looks wonderful in its current state make him ponder.
In a joking manner, he adds:
I’m still looking for someone to sand it a bit and then airbrush paint it. Once it’s done, you can all come over and kiss her feet, literally! Just kidding, haha.
Community celebrates and wants exactly what you’re thinking: In the WoW community, the finding of this statue is received very well – aside from a healthy portion of envy. Of course, it is also repeatedly alluded to what some (half jokingly, half seriously) mainly associate with Xal’atath: Her feet.
“Damn, I would buy this for 300 $, just to be able to paint it. Maybe I should check the Facebook Marketplace more often.” – Not Aphoenix
“I’m insanely jealous that you got this for 300 $.” – Kickedbygiraffe
“This is so … random, but at the same time … so cool. However, it is also quite an icebreaker for starting a conversation when someone comes by: ‘So, yeah, um … she was once this dagger in this expansion of that fantasy game I play, and then …'” – KingOfAzmerloth
At the beginning, many players in Crimson Desert want to avoid worrying about money. We will show you where you can find a gold bar early on, so you don’t have to worry about it for a while.
What is a gold bar worth? If you find gold bars in Crimson Desert, you can take them to a bank and exchange them for 500 silver. This way, especially in the beginning, you can afford almost everything you need – whether it’s gear, food, resources, or mounts. It’s worth keeping an eye out for them.
That’s why we will show you a hiding place where you can find a gold bar early in the game and not have to worry about an empty wallet for the next few hours.
Are there any prerequisites? Yes, in order to obtain the bars without committing theft, you will need a mask that allows you to engage in criminal activities. You can either get it as loot from bandits or during one of the early bounty quests from the notice board. Once you have it, you can start your search.

Gold Bar Hideout at the Lion’s Mane Estate
Fortunately, you can find a gold bar shortly after the tutorial in the northwest of the city Hernand, specifically in the Lion’s Mane Estate. You can find it here:
Here you will find the Lion’s Mane Estate.
How do you get into the estate? If you try to enter by “normal” means, the guards will stop you. The easiest way to get in is to go to the eastern side of the estate and open a window there. Climb through, and once inside, no one will question what you’re doing there. You can look around in peace.
Where do you find the bar? Then go to the ground floor foyer and keep to the right when looking from the front door into the room. You should quickly find the fireplace. Here’s what it looks like:
You will find the gold bar in the fireplace.
Then access your menu to put on your mask and select “Steal”. Be sure to wait for the alarm aura after you steal so you don’t risk a bounty. That’s how you grab the gold bar. Of course, you could just sell it, but that would only give you a fraction of what the bar is really worth.
Exchange Gold Bar for Silver
To exchange the bar for usable coins as efficiently as possible, you should go to a bank. Conveniently, there is one quite close, located just southeast of the estate:
Here you will find the bank.You can get 500 silver for your bar.
There, you can easily exchange for 500 silver coins. Alternatively, if you already have enough silver at this time, you can buy a safe license for 100 silver and store your bar there. It will then accrue interest, allowing you to withdraw regularly.
In the beginning, though, it makes sense to move with the silver first.
An opponent from Cyberpunk 2077 is almost unanimously considered the creepiest enemy in the entire game. According to some reports in the game, the player base collectively freaks out because of a maintenance robot.
Spoiler Warning! The article discusses the ending of the DLC of Cyberpunk “Phantom Liberty”. Those who already know the ending of the DLC or have no issues with spoilers can read on without hesitation.
What kind of opponent is this? We are talking about the Militech Cerberus MK-II from the DLC Phantom Liberty of Cyberpunk 2077. In the game, V encounters this machine when she decides towards the end of the DLC to hand over Songbird to the FIA and thus betray her.
The Songbird, controlled by Blackwall, then flees to a decommissioned Militech facility, where a particularly nasty surprise awaits players: a similarly controlled Cerberus that transforms Cyberpunk 2077 from an action RPG into a horror survival game for some time. And it has only one goal: to find, pursue, and eliminate V.
The machine is not only uncomfortably fast and indestructible: as soon as it reaches V, she is pierced by a scorpion-like connector or its rotating claws.
In this clip on Reddit, you can see how fast and strong Cerberus is. The player brought it out of the facility to the surface through a mod:

This level, along with its hunter, is almost unanimously considered the scariest experience in the entire game. The Militech Cerberus is actually not a killer machine programmed to kill, but rather a simple maintenance robot.
Start video
Idris Elba explains how to survive in Cyberpunk 2077 and takes up arms in the trailer himself
Cerberus is not scary by coincidence
What does the game reveal about the Cerberus? You encounter Cerberus in a bunker-like Militech facility. There, the corporation experimented 67 years before the events of the game on a tool for their netrunners that they could use in the depths of the Net. After the DataKrash in 2060, the research facility was closed, but not completely destroyed or cleared out.
The Cerberus robot is a six-legged, heavy maintenance machine that Militech developed for their maintenance work in critical environments. In 2010, it was considered one of the most advanced robots and was used solely in Militech facilities for research and development purposes. It is equipped with such indestructible armor that it operates even under extreme conditions, whether radiation or electromagnetic discharges. Additionally, the Cerberus has the ability to work together with AI, making it a technological marvel alongside its longevity – at least in the years between 2010 and 2060.
When the wild AI of the Blackwall, which also corrupted Songbird, used the systems of the Cerberus to hunt V, the Militech tool finally became the monster that players fear so much. And monster is indeed the right term in this case.
Why does the robot seem so monstrous? In fact, the developers hoped that players would find the level along with the Cerberus so creepy. As is often the case, they took inspiration from another work to convey the feeling they themselves experienced there. In the case of the Cerberus, they were inspired by Kankra (in English Shelob), the giant spider from The Lord of the Rings:
Entering the bunker was like intruding into the territory of a monster, and even the scene where Cerberus appears is reminiscent of the moment when [Kankra] appears in ‘The Lord of the Rings’, hovering above – like a threatening shadow.
Paweł Sasko, Associate Game Director of Cyberpunk 2077 in conversation with IGN
You can only encounter Cerberus from Cyberpunk 2077 if you betray the netrunner Songbird, which was extremely difficult for MeinMMO editor Caro. However, after several playthroughs, she wanted to experience it at least once and was subsequently tempted by a weapon to not take back her decision: For a powerful weapon in Cyberpunk 2077, I sold my soul and became a lousy traitor

The Power Armor from Fallout is a trademark of the franchise and provides the wearers with good protection against the dangers of the wasteland. Fans have long been wondering how much such an armor actually weighs. MeinMMO asked the developer Bethesda and can now provide the answer.
What is Power Armor anyway? It is arguably the most powerful type of armor from Fallout. Essentially, it is a tank that surrounds the wearer’s body. You become a walking fortress, exuding authority and power.
On a functional level, the armor offers excellent protection against dangers in the wasteland. Additionally, heavy weapons like a minigun can be easily lifted – which would be difficult, if not impossible, for a person without armor.
However, even the sound of the footsteps of a Power Armor gives a clue: This piece is quite heavy. The Fallout community has been discussing for years how much it actually weighs. We directly asked Bethesda if there is any official statement on this – and received a concrete answer.
The Fallout series by Amazon also features Power Armor. Here you can see the trailer for season 2:

The official trailer for Fallout Season 2 takes us back to the apocalypse
A matter of models
What does Bethesda say about the question? The developer provided us with a response from the Lead Artist of Fallout 3 & 4, Istvan Pely. He first emphasizes an important point:
Not all armors are identical, even within the same type, as there are often running material changes during a production run. It depends on what the factory can source at scale that’s economical at the time.
The first Power Armors were developed by the USA at the company West Tek even before the Great War. After the bombs fell, it was clear that not all resources were equally available.
But we know all power armors start with the same internal powered frame made of a relatively lightweight magnesium alloy. That plus the servo motors and other mechanicals would give a baseline of around 450 pounds for the chassis [approximately 204 kilograms].
But that’s not all. For proper protection against bullets or attacking creatures that may also appear in mutated form in the wasteland, more is needed. There are differences among the various models of the Power Armor:
On top of that are the armored body plates. Unlike the T-51 and later armors that used lightweight composite alloys, the T-45 is good ‘ole thick (and cheap) steel. There’s also a thinner tungsten lining for radiation shielding, but this was often substituted with lead for cost. Some variations would even get a layer of titanium on a few sections for extra protection, but this wasn’t common. We also need to take into account that there are variations in thickness across different sections, with some parts being cast and some machined. All of this would easily add at least another 400-550 pounds to the total weight [181-226 kilograms].
In total, Bethesda calculates up to 430 kilograms, not including the user of the armor. Fortunately, one hardly feels anything from the enormous weight. You don’t need to be strong to use the armor; the design takes on the load.
