The live-action series of One Piece will premiere its 2nd season next year. The island Little Garden will also be featured. Now, there is a first image of the two giants fighting on this island – but one body part is particularly in focus.
What can be seen in the new images? Netflix has published a total of 4 new images on the X account for One Piece. Among them is a poster showing the two giants Boogey and Woogey. There is also a quote from Louis Arnot, an explorer, stating that the island Little Garden truly seems like a small garden to its inhabitants.

In other images, the two giants can be seen facing each other in battle. They have actually been fighting against each other for many years, but they are friends.
In other images, Ruffy is depicted as an explorer and Lysop as a coward. This island is especially important for Lysop, as it marks the beginning of a dream to someday reach the land of giants. Thanks to the manga, we also know whether he will ever fulfill his dream.
However, although the giants take up a large part of the poster, fans are only focused on a small detail – Ruffy’s rear.

What bothers fans about the image? On Reddit, the new images have garnered a total of 5,400 likes. However, a comment received approximately 1,200 likes, where the commenter had to double-check if Ruffy was even wearing pants.
And indeed: If you take a closer look, it appears that Ruffy has forgotten an important piece of clothing, especially in the mini-view. The pants have an unflattering skin tone, which can quickly lead to confusion.
Following that, there are numerous comments that aren’t entirely family-friendly. Additionally, there are users who thought they were the only ones who hadn’t noticed Ruffy’s pants.
In the original, Ruffy actually wears blue pants. However, the creators of the Netflix series sometimes incorporate Easter eggs and outfits that come from the manga or special sketches by creator Eiichiro Oda. Unfortunately, we could not find out where the shown outfit originates from during our research.
In the 2nd season, the Straw Hat crew will not only venture to Little Garden but also to many other islands. They even gain a new member for their crew.

If you miss John Wick and the action of the series, fortunately, there are many alternatives. MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes has a special movie recommendation that you can currently watch on Amazon Prime Video.
What movie is it about? If you’re looking for action like in John Wick, there are many movies to choose from. A pretty good alternative premiered in 2024 with Monkey Man, which you can now watch with your Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Monkey Man offers many elements that I love about John Wick, but mixes them with aspects of Hindu mythology.
You can watch the trailer for Monkey Man here:

A Dirty Film with Brutal Action
What makes Monkey Man so good? The most important point is true in Monkey Man, and that is the action. It is brutal, bloody at times, and above all, creative. The many fight sequences work with various weapons, locations, and also opponent configurations.
Dev Patel, who also directs the film, makes a good impression as the lead actor. You may know him best from Slumdog Millionaire. His motivation is as familiar as it is effective. He wants to find the murderers of his mother and those responsible for taking everything from him.
He honed his fighting skills in illegal fights, through which he earns his money. Accordingly, he fights less perfectly than a John Wick. The fights are not only bloody; they are also particularly dirty. This gives the fights in the film a slightly different look and will especially please fans of The Raid.
In addition to the main character’s fights, there is also his plan, which is often thwarted. This creates a certain spontaneity that often leads to fights. It is also very pleasant that the film, despite the dark themes, incorporates situational comedy that lightens the whole thing up.
Another aspect that gives Monkey Man a certain independence is the Hindu mythology.
What mythological elements are in the film? In the film, the main character wears a monkey mask in many fights. This is based on the Hindu deity Hanuman. The deity is half human and half monkey and comes from the epic Ramayana (Source: Smithsonian magazine).
In the film, the connection to Hanuman is only symbolic. While mythological imagery is played with, the fights are all kept realistic. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon (via YouTube), Dev Patel compares Hanuman to Superman. He says:
He stands for nobility, strength, and courage. He is very similar to Superman when he splits his chest and flies with the iconography. And for me, he was also a hero who lost faith in himself. At some point, he lost his courage and had to be reminded of who he was.
This is also a nice change from John Wick, as Dev Patel fights not only for his revenge but also for the oppressed. However, one should not expect a superhero movie despite the description. Monkey Man is a tough fight movie that impresses mainly through its choreography.
If you have a subscription to Amazon Prime Video, you can watch the film on the platform. Fans of good action and John Wick should definitely check it out, as Monkey Man was an action highlight in 2024. You can find more action movies here: 5 Action movies rated 18 for hardcore film fans

An unregistered Mercedes 500 SL from 1982 has been unearthed in nearly new condition in the United Kingdom. The mileage is just 68 kilometers.
How did this find happen? The Mercedes 500 SL R107 barely left the factory before it ended up in a garage in Staffordshire. Under a perfectly fitting cover, it rested there in a heated and dehumidified room for 42 years, until it has now finally seen the light of day.
Its owner, a man named Mr. Hough, purchased the car on November 30, 1983, for £24,400 … which today is approximately €87,000. Why he never registered the car and left it hidden in the garage with just 68 kilometers on the odometer remains unclear.
The Mercedes was unearthed by Sam Bailey, the founder of “The SL Shop”, which specializes in Mercedes in general and this model in particular.

Why is this find so special? Due to the exceptional storage conditions, the car is in pristine condition. The paint still shines in Blue Green Metallic, as if it had just come off the production line. Signs of oxidation? None!
The factory sticker is still present. The engine and exhaust are covered with Waxoyl protective wax. It rides on its original Michelin XWX tires. Inside, the leather and wood trim shine. In addition to leather upholstery and metallic paint, optional equipment includes air conditioning, seat heating, and ABS.
What happens now with the car? Sam Bailey explains that the car will definitely not be offered for sale. It is to be displayed in a specially designed, climate-controlled, and publicly accessible space to serve as a reference for future restorations.
Battlefield 6 captivates millions of players. Many enjoy the shooter, but if you play a lot of Battlefield, you will encounter situations that drive you up the wall. You all know them.
What are those situations? In Battlefield 6 there are typical Battlefield moments that make fans’ hearts race. However, not all of these moments are fun, and not every emotion is joyful. Every Battlefield player experiences certain situations that make them angry. And the 10 situations we list here are surely hated by each one of you.

As soon as you sit in an aircraft, you have 27 guided missiles behind you. These are an easy-to-use tool that can effectively shoot aircraft out of the sky – or at least put them under pressure. The auto-targeting rocket launcher doesn’t require much skill or preparation. You take the device in your hand, look at the aircraft, and fire. However, if you are also piloting the heli or jet, there is nothing more annoying. Even if you are good pilots, it’s something you have to deal with.

A tinkerer buys a used gaming PC on the Facebook Marketplace with a surprise inside. Hidden under the hood is a mysterious Nvidia graphics card that was never officially released. Now the community is puzzling over what this rare find could mean.
How did the purchase come about? The Reddit user RunRepulsive9867 writes that he acquired a used PC on the Facebook Marketplace for $500. The hardware inside is causing quite a stir among experts.
Inside was a graphics card that has never officially existed: a rare Nvidia prototype. He writes that he snagged the system at a low price to upgrade or resell.
While dismantling the components, the graphics card immediately caught his eye: visually, it resembles a Founders Edition model with a silver design and two fans. Notably, it is labeled “GeForce GTX” instead of “RTX”. This detail suggests it could be an early development model.

Community speculates: Is it a secret Titan variant?
What does the community think? On Reddit, users speculate that it could be a remnant from the time before Nvidia transitioned from “GTX” to “RTX”.
Others suspect it might be an unpublished Titan variant intended for internal testing. For example, SomeRandoFromInterne on Reddit writes: “The card looks like a Titan RTX, but only with half the video memory, extremely interesting.”
RunRepulsive9867 (via Reddit) responds to the post: “I thought they might have used the Titan RTX cover for the 2080 TI FE. It’s interchangeable, but then it would explicitly say ‘Titan RTX’ or at least ‘2080 Ti’ on the bottom. A really strange find.”
What’s inside the graphics card? A look at GPU-Z (via Reddit) confirms the suspicion that this is something special. Instead of the usual 11 GB of video memory, the tool shows 12 GB of VRAM, combined with a 384-bit memory bus and a higher bandwidth of around 672 GB/s. Values that even exceed the production version of the RTX 2080 Ti.

According to the analysis, this is likely an Engineering Sample, an early test version that Nvidia used internally for development or benchmarks. Why this card ended up in a used PC remains a mystery.
Normally, such prototypes are never sold to end customers and are destroyed after the testing phase. The fact that one of these models is available on the open market is extremely rare and makes the find particularly exciting for collectors.
Insights into Nvidia’s development phase are extremely rare and show how many variants a manufacturer tests before a graphics card actually goes into production.
Is the card suitable for long-term use? Whether the card actually performs stably in everyday use is unclear. Prototypes are often more sensitive, do not receive official drivers, and are not meant for long-term use. Nevertheless, the $500 purchase was undoubtedly worth it for the tinkerer, solely due to the rarity and collector’s value of the card.

In shutting down the first The Crew, Ubisoft received massive criticism, now part 2 is getting an important update. The racing MMO is now also playable offline.
What was the fate of The Crew? The racing game, developed by Ubisoft’s internal studio Ivory Tower, was released in 2014 and combined a fully drivable version of the USA with seamless online multiplayer. This built a large player base for The Crew, and four years later, a sequel followed.
The MMO aspect of the game world was one of The Crew’s biggest strengths – but also its biggest weakness, as it turned out later. In April 2024, Ubisoft took the servers of the game offline. Since then, The Crew has not been playable, as it never had an offline mode. This caused a major uproar.
The drama surrounding The Crew was so great that a Europe-wide initiative wanted to prevent such scenarios in the future: “Stop Destroying Games” (also called “Stop Killing Games”) demands that games must always remain in a playable state.

The Crew 2 is now playable forever
What does this mean for The Crew 2? Fortunately, Ubisoft has taken precautions for the sequel. In a new update that went live on October 16, 2025, Ivory Tower added the “Hybrid Mode”.
When starting the game, you can now choose from two modes:
The classic online mode, which remains the main experience of the game – including multiplayer features, leaderboards, competitions and community sharing.
The new offline mode, in which you can play the game without an internet connection
However, separate save files are used for online and offline modes. Your progress from the online mode can be transferred to the offline mode, but the reverse is not the case. So, if you unlocked a vehicle while you were offline, you must get it again for your online save.
Read more about how the new hybrid mode works in the developers’ blog at www.ubisoft.com.
The Crew 2 is currently on sale on Steam: There is a discount of 90% on all editions. The Standard Edition costs only €2.99 instead of €29.99, and the Gold Edition is available for €4.99 instead of €49.99.
Don’t Starve is one of the most popular survival games on Steam. Now the developers want to release the title as a board game for the living room and fans are backing the crowdfunding campaign.
What kind of game is this? Don’t Starve is one of the absolute classics of survival games and has been captivating players since 2013. With a rating of 96%, the title is rated “Very Positive” on Steam. Despite its release over 12 years ago, the game still attracts over 2,000 players simultaneously at peak times daily (via SteamDB)
In the game, the player character is thrown into a randomly generated world that must be survived in a mix of action-adventure and roguelike. The typical survival process is present – gathering, crafting, maintaining health, upgrading gear, and of course, surviving dangers.
The game has a unique comic-like art style that resembles the works of Tim Burton and is hardly like any other game. Don’t Starve is intentionally difficult and created without aids for the player, as making mistakes and learning from them is part of the experience. This also adds to the appeal of the title. Now the developers want to release a new version and are counting on their fans.
You can see the co-op spin-off Don’t Starve Together here in the trailer:

Don’t Starve in the Living Room
What are the developers planning? The developers of Don’t Starve already have a co-op version called “Don’t Starve Together,” which allows for the familiar gameplay experience with friends in multiplayer mode.
Now, however, the developers want to bring the hit in the form of a board game into the living room. To see if their idea resonates and for the funding of the board game, the developers are using Kickstarter. The crowdfunding platform offers a multi-tiered process where players can unlock additional benefits of the game after funding through additional goals.
This way, the developers can collect more money for development and players receive an increasingly better product as more funds accumulate. However, with Don’t Starve, the developers likely underestimated how many players are interested in a board game.
How is the board game being received? Instead of the original goal of $50,000 (about €42,000), supporters have already funded more than $4 million (about $3.5 million) just 3 days before the end. That’s so much money that the developers have had to continually add new goals to provide something for players to unlock again.
In the meantime, the developers have added more than 60 additional goals, of which only 2 remain open just before the funding phase ends. Additionally, players have also been able to unlock further goals through social media interaction, which they have already accomplished.
That Don’t Starve is one of the most popular survival games on Steam is beyond question. Nevertheless, the success of the board game is significant and certainly not a given, especially considering the large number of additional goals that have already been completed. Why the survival game is so well-received is explained by MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller: A survival game on Steam is so good that I am embarrassed to have only paid €1.49 for it

World of Warcraft Legion Remix is entering the next round. New dungeons and raids await – but also many new rewards.
Anyone who has extensively played Legion Remix in World of Warcraft in the last few days should have already unlocked all rewards – at least all that have been available so far.

New world quests.
Along with this, there are also some new rewards that will be unlocked with the vendors. This primarily includes the tier sets from the Nighthold, but other vendors have a few minor updates as well. If you have already amassed some bronze, you can use it again now.
More Eternal Knowledge, even more power gain
What should you accomplish today? If you value efficiency, you should increase your Eternal Knowledge to the new maximum as soon as possible. For the following achievements, there are new, Eternal Knowledge:
The “Rebellion” achievement: Fully complete the Suramar campaign (+1 Eternal Knowledge).
Complete the dungeon “Return to Karazhan” on mythic (+2 Eternal Knowledge).

November 19, 2025: Eternal Argus – Argus (3 Areas), Seat of the Triumvirate (Dungeon), Antorus, the Burning Throne (Raid)
December 10, 2025: Endless Chaos – Previously unknown content, exclusive for Remix.
If you haven’t started with Legion Remix yet, that’s no problem at all. You still have about 90 days left, and it’s quite easy to catch up with a character. As the amount of available content grows and directly affects how much power you can effectively gain per day, it’s never too late to join in. It’s worth it to also earn permanent portals.

The American actor Bryan Cranston (known from series like Breaking Bad or Malcolm in the Middle) has opposed the use of his face and voice for AI, and won. Together with OpenAI, the actor is ensuring that he and his colleagues are better protected.
Who is it about? Actor Bryan Cranston initially became known for his role as Hal in the series Malcolm in the Middle, but gained massive success as “Heisenberg” in the series Breaking Bad. His face and especially his sometimes frightening expressions are well known and have now, along with his voice, been used for AI.
The video AI Sora 2 from OpenAI was recently released, and even though access to the app is still somewhat limited, it has already spread widely. Users can “upload” their face and voice to the application, allowing for AI-generated videos to be created with them in the future. Characters like Pikachu also appear in the videos.
Actor Bryan Cranston has also been made available to the AI, resulting in videos featuring the actor. However, the Breaking Bad star did not consent to this use.

Actor fights against AI
What has Bryan Cranston achieved? Bryan Cranston reached out to the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA to make contact with Sora 2. OpenAI responded quickly and improved its safety measures by implementing a new system.
Now, actors must explicitly consent to the use of their face and voice before they can be included in the AI. Bryan Cranston has thus created an improvement, not just for himself, but also for his fellow actors.
In a joint statement on X from SAG-AFTRA, OpenAI, and Bryan Cranston, the actor said:
I was not only deeply concerned about myself but about all performers whose work and identity can be exploited in this way. I am grateful to OpenAI for its policies and for enhancing its safety measures and hope that they and all the companies involved in this work respect our personal and professional right to control the imitation of our voice and appearance.
What is behind it? Feeding AIs with the faces and voices of well-known personalities to create new videos and images is not a new phenomenon. While this can also generate funny content, it can equally take a different, more unpleasant direction:
Content creator Jasmin Gnu addressed the dangers, especially for female influencers, in a standalone video already. Deepfakes, which can also be used for sexual content, pose a great danger.
These two examples show how quickly misinformation can spread with or about individuals.
On October 20, 2025, various internet services were temporarily unavailable due to a global outage of Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, it was not just Steam or the PlayStation Network that were affected; there were also troubles with some beds.
The lead image is a symbolic illustration and does not show any of the beds affected by the AWS outage.
The reason was a global outage of Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the largest providers of servers and services. Many internet offerings rely on this infrastructure. Even many services that one would not directly associate with AWS were affected, such as online banking from various banks.

What about the beds? What to do when the internet fails and you can’t play Roblox, Fortnite, or Battlefield 6 for hours as planned? Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that nine months after such an incident, there is a little baby boom. You understand.
This time, however, there was next stress with the beds, and that seemed to be directly related to the AWS outage. As dexerto.com reports, the owners of the “Eight Sleep” mattress toppers, which are said to cost around $2,000 each, were also affected.
Due to the outage, users found out the hard way that their expensive bedding did not have an offline mode and suddenly became very hot or froze in strange, certainly not back-friendly positions. Waking up in such a manner or being interrupted by whatever is certainly no fun.
One user explained that he woke up in a sauna; it was that hot. Another complained that his bed froze in a steeply inclined position (source: X). Fortunately, no one reported that a mattress actually caught fire. It seems no one was injured either.
Why did the failures occur? Eight Sleep’s products require a cloud connection to regulate temperature and capture the biometric data of the users. Due to the AWS outage, there was no access to the app to manage the water cooling or make position adjustments. Various beds overheated and/or got stuck.
How did the manufacturer respond? Matteo Franceschnetti, the CEO of Eight Sleep, apologized the next morning on X for the incident and announced measures to prevent such outages in the future.
Gaming accessories know no bounds. A few years ago, there was the perfect bed for gamers, with which you simply never have to get up again. No joke. And the mattress will not get hot either!

A new statistic shows that for many games, it is a no-go to appear on Steam. The fee for launching on Valve’s platform is comparatively low.
What is this statistic? According to the website gamalytic.com, nearly 13,000 new games have been released on Steam since January 1, 2025. Only 8 percent of these games are said to have generated more than $100,000 in revenue.
A staggering 40 percent apparently did not even earn enough money to cover the $100 (87.99 Euros) required for the so-called “Steam Direct Product Submission Fee” to Valve. On steampowered.com, it states:
The fee is non-refundable. However, it is included in the payout that occurs after your product has earned gross revenues of at least $1,000 from Steam store purchases and in-app purchases.
According to Gamalytic, however, 8,441 of the nearly 13,000 games made less than $1,000 in revenue, which is why they will not get refunded for the fee.
Note that this data is not official from Valve, but rather estimates from a hobby project that carry a certain margin of error (more on this in the About section of gamalytic.com). However, for instance, there are developers of Steam games who use the tool – such as the mind behind Soulash and Soulash 2 (Source: X).

“There are just too many games”
How does the community react to this? These statistics for the Steam games released so far in 2025 are currently being discussed on, for example, Reddit.
salad_tongs_1 writes on Reddit: “I’m not surprised. I’ve seen a few real stinkers this year. Many ‘Shop Simulator’ copy-paste games. Things with AI assets in the store. And not every idea is going to be the next Balatro.”
Cloud_N0ne explains on Reddit: “There are just too many games. The market is oversaturated, and there will be games that simply fly under EVERYONE’s radar.”
Archersbows7 has a suggestion on Reddit: “Honestly, I think they should raise the fee to $250 to weed out a lot of the cheap junk (shovelware) and reduce the number of games on Steam in favor of quality to decrease saturation.”
The problem of the ever-increasing flood of games on platforms like Steam is not new, but it gets worse with each passing year – also due to advancements in AI and increasingly powerful graphic engines.

MeinMMO editor Niko is excited since the announcement of the story game Dispatch on Steam. After 2 of the 8 episodes, he is already completely thrilled because the game avoids the biggest problems of Marvel and The Boys.
What is Dispatch anyway? Dispatch comes from the indie developer AdHoc Studio and was founded by former industry veterans. Among them are also developers who previously worked at Telltale Games, known for story games like The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us.
The gameplay of Dispatch is exactly that: Within an interactive story, you make decisions, solve short quick-time events, and live with the consequences of your actions. Dispatch also has a small management part additionally.
As a big fan of superheroes, I was full of anticipation, but after the first 2 episodes, which lasted about 45 minutes, I was completely thrilled: It was even better than I had wished for.
Start video
Dispatch – Trailer for the demo of the superhero game by former Telltale developers
Superheroes are just the framework
The story immediately captivated me. In Dispatch, you experience the story of Robert Robertson, who, as Mecha Man, a kind of Iron Man, fought against villains. When his suit is destroyed, the powerless Robert ends up in a superhero emergency call center. He is supposed to manage a team of villains so that they can do good.
Although it is about superheroes, the story fundamentally deals with people who are in a bad situation but still want to do everything right. In doing so, the game avoids the biggest weaknesses of Marvel and series like The Boys.
Superhero movies and series tend to reach an ever-growing escalation level and focus on action and fights. Characters often come second because they must fit into the current danger corset. This results in characters not feeling like real characters, but like useful abilities. In Dispatch, it’s different, at least in the first two episodes.
The world is significantly toned down, and the focus is fully on the characters. This gives Robert much room to breathe so that his character can be established. The decisions you make always feel organic, and depending on the situation, a humorous, sad, but sometimes even romantic atmosphere was created. I could empathize with Robert so much that a moment in Episode 2 made me awkwardly embarrassed, and all I could say was a loud Uff. I don’t want to give too much away, but I believe everyone has been in such a situation that they only laughed about months later.
This empathy works only because the focus is on the characters. They are beautifully designed, and even the supporting characters are brimming with character, even in short dialogues. I must also praise the English voice acting (texts and subtitles are also available in German), which can compete with any TV series. The actors do a damn good job and give the characters the depth that makes them feel so real.
I just like the guy, no matter the situation
A great strength of the first two episodes was the timing
The story starts with a nice flow. The first episodes showed me that the developers and the studio have a good sense of timing. Be it the right mix of action, drama, and dialogues or for comedic elements.
I particularly liked the use of music. It is never too present and is only used loud to carry an emotion outside of the moment. This makes sections never feel like closed levels; they flow beautifully together.
With that, Dispatch doesn’t have to hide from real series. The only important thing is that the game can transport this in the remaining episodes. Conclusively ending a story is quite difficult, especially when players make their own choices.
The decisions haven’t felt very impactful so far, but often consequences only happen in later episodes. The first 2 episodes show, however, that there is great potential on all levels to tell a fantastic story.
But what about the gameplay part of the game?
In this menu, you send your heroes to emergencies.
The gameplay is fun but also offers frustration potential
In addition to the decisions and story, you also have to manage a team. For that, you have to respond to emergency calls in gameplay segments and decide which team member to send on the mission. It’s important to choose the right person. For example, if a cat needs to be rescued from a tree, a hero who can fly is worth it.
This was quite fun in the first two segments that you had to do in the first 2 episodes, but it hasn’t been a big highlight for me so far. After all, the dialogues of the heroes you send away were quite funny. You can also level up the heroes; however, I couldn’t yet see what influence that exactly has in the first 2 episodes.
However, I see frustration potential here as well, because you can quickly maneuver into pretty stressful situations due to wrong decisions. Anyone who is only interested in the story might be put off by this. Dispatch definitely needs to find a good balance in the entire series; so far, however, that has been fine. The sequence didn’t go on for too long and was generally a nice change from the rest.
Apart from that, there are also the quick-time events known from Telltale games, which can be turned off if you don’t feel like it. I found them quite cool in an action sequence to highlight the scene once more.
Overall, the sometimes fast decisions you have to make fit into the flow of the 2 episodes.
Conclusion: 2 strong first episodes with great characters
How does Dispatch appear? Dispatch will be released in an episodic structure like the old Telltale games. On October 22, 2025, you can play the first 2 episodes. Subsequently, 2 episodes are to be released weekly until the finale with episode 7 and 8 on November 12.
Episodic structures are a controversial release strategy that I usually cannot stand. But it also offers the potential for specific story cliffhangers to be discussed online. Whether you like that or not must be decided for yourself. If necessary, you can wait until November 12 and then play everything at once.
Dispatch could become the best game in the style of Telltale games. It has the potential to move me emotionally because the characters are really strong, and already after the first episodes, the main character Robert has grown close to my heart. I just hope that AdHoc Studio doesn’t break my heart.
While there are a few spots that could disrupt the player experience, if the next episodes continue like this, I’m convinced that Dispatch could become one of my biggest highlights of 2025.

With their second series adaptation of their D&D campaigns, the popular group Critical Role aims to do things differently than with their first hit “The Legend of Vox Machina.” Now they can proceed as they truly want – and that’s a good thing.
While their first series is already a huge success (a full 5 stars on Amazon Prime and 8.4/10 stars on IMDb), many fans are particularly looking forward to the adaptation of the second campaign, which is considered by many – as well as by the MeinMMO editorial team – to be the best of Critical Role. However, the streamers themselves are aware that they need to approach The Mighty Nein quite differently to make up for a weakness of their first project.
Here you can see the latest trailer for Critical Role’s “The Mighty Nein” on Amazon Prime:
Start video
The trailer for Critical Role’s The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime shows the first conflicts that the “heroes” have to struggle with
Critical Role wants to “throw all caution overboard”
What does Critical Role want to do differently with The Mighty Nein? In conversation with Polygon, the group explains that they learned a lot from Vox Machina. The task of transforming a D&D campaign played in a livestream with hundreds of episodes, each several hours long, into an animated series without losing too much content along the way, is already challenging enough.
However, these challenges did not end there, as Travis Willingham explains. During the production of Vox Machina, the team did not yet know if more would come after the first two seasons.
This is why the second season was packed with a lot of content, making the pacing of the series much tighter than expected. But according to Travis, the team seems to have learned from that:
“I think that our pacing suffered a bit in some places because of that, but we are throwing all caution overboard and taking more time for these seasons. Therefore, we are also starting from the perspective of a Session Zero.”
Session Zero: “Session Zero” is a term in Dungeons & Dragons that refers to a session that takes place before the very first actual game session. Here, characters and character sheets are discussed, as well as the expectations of the players and the DM, along with other small and large details that will shape the campaign. You can learn more about it here on MeinMMO: There is a meeting in Dungeons & Dragons before the first round, and you can save yourself a lot of frustration
How does Critical Role plan to avoid this flaw in The Mighty Nein? In addition to longer episodes of about 40 minutes each and longer seasons, Critical Role has another plan to ensure better pacing so that the story doesn’t feel rushed.
When Travis talks about the perspective of Session Zero, he means the backgrounds of the world and the characters, which should be more developed and deeper in The Mighty Nein than in The Legend of Vox Machina. In the new series, the characters will be introduced individually – new content that fans haven’t even seen in the streams.
In addition, they want to tell the story more slowly overall due to the length of the episodes, which of course carries the risk that the series will end unfinished – if it is not booked for additional seasons. However, considering the success of Critical Role, that seems quite unlikely. Just a few weeks ago, the new, already fourth campaign of the group began, and they will also go on tour in 2026, for the first time even in Germany.
MeinMMO editor Caro says about the adaptation of The Mighty Nein: The Mighty Nein are particularly close to my heart, because they hooked me from the very first episode. They made me aware of Critical Role, and they played a significant role in sparking my interest in Dungeons & Dragons and also getting me to play.
I am absolutely surprised but also delighted that Critical Role is willing to tackle (finally!) longer episodes to also provide for quieter phases between the action of the campaign. Of course, I love – as do many fans – the exciting battles and the humor, but The Mighty Nein lives and breathes through its profound characters, their stories, and what truly motivates them. That’s why I’m particularly looking forward to the episodes of the teased Session Zero.
If they execute what Critical Role has promised in various talks regarding The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime, the series will be even better than The Legend of Vox Machina, which I also enjoyed (despite the pacing) immensely. And if it is as newcomer-friendly as they emphasize, I’ll make a lot of friends into critters.
Fans and interested newcomers will have to wait about 4 weeks until they can watch The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime. Until then, they still have the opportunity to check out Vox Machina again or simply follow the new campaign weekly. One of the greatest strengths of Critical Role is their beloved characters, which also provides some strong candidates in campaign 4: The most famous group in Dungeons & Dragons on Twitch finally shows fans what they have been waiting for

With Visions of Eternity, the next expansion in the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 launches on October 28, 2025. And it clearly focuses on more action. MeinMMO editor Alexander Mehrwald was able to experience the whole thing in a preview.
During the approximately 90-minute guided preview, we got a first impression of some of the new content in the latest expansion “Visions of Eternity” of Guild Wars 2. We were able to explore the “Strand der Wracks,” one of the new areas of Castora, and try out the new abilities of the Hoverrock and the new elite specializations.
At the Strand der Wracks, we were also shown an Open World Boss and one of the new meta events, which we could (of course successfully) participate in. Additionally, we played a story mission from the third chapter of the new story. In the end, we were shown impressions of the new housing, which MeinMMO editor Jasmin already had a close look at during gamescom 2025.
It became clear: Visions of Eternity has a clear focus on action and draws inspiration from the great classics – and it’s not just the obvious reference to Indiana Jones in the new elite specialization “Antiquarian”.
In the following Q&A with the developers, my suspicion was confirmed, as the developers want to achieve exactly that with Visions of Eternity, and based on my experiences at the preview event, I have to say: That was the right idea, because the whole concept could be just what will bring fresh wind to Guild Wars 2.

Visions of Eternity as an “Action Movie Expansion”?
Shortly after the presentation began, it became clear to me: The pace and intensity have noticeably increased in this expansion. This may already be given by the story premise that the Inquest is sending secret expeditions in search of the legendary Castora – and we all know: when the Inquest is involved, it is never about anything good.
But the soundtrack that I encountered is noticeably more action-heavy and driving than it was in Janthir Wilds. The environment of the Strand der Wracks also clearly reminds one of popular film classics, but without it feeling too much like a copy. Influences from action films such as Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, Atlantis, The Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Jurassic Park are evident in the design and soundtrack, while still leaving plenty of room for the classic, unique Guild Wars 2 style.
The impression continues as we approach the new world boss, a raptor from the Inquest, who heats things up with various tricks. The mechanics come quickly and rapidly and require a lot of cooperation from the participating players. For example, there is a mechanic where individual players are in danger of drowning quickly, which would lead to their death – but other players can save them by removing the water bubbles.
Teamwork is essential with the new boss.
Also in the subsequent meta event, where we have to prevent the NPCs Jessica and Jimmy Hammerhart from overclocking a machine to avoid a worse debacle, we are faced with hard-hitting action. We have to destroy shields in quick succession and teleport to specific platforms depending on the magnetic pole we receive.
The poles keep switching while Jimmy and Jessica fight against us and the machine goes crazy. The whole thing had an incredibly fast drive and was simply fun, as you were constantly moving, keeping an eye on your teammates, and trying to solve the objectives. Good coordination with other players and a fast pace was also in the foreground here.
+ or -, the pole indicates your portal.
When we finally tackle the story mission, another focus of the expansion becomes clear, which also harmoniously aligns with its action movie inspiration. Because Visions of Eternity focuses on exploration and an intense story pacing alongside increased action.
The mission we played was set in the third chapter of the story, and to avoid spoilers, we refrain from going into detail about the content. However, it should be mentioned: It will be exciting, intense, and fast-paced if the rest of the story behaves similarly.
The design clearly shows the inspiration from adventure and action classics.
In the subsequent conversation with the developers, it was confirmed that Visions of Eternity is indeed intended as I had felt all along: An action-packed counterbalance to the previous expansion Janthir Wilds, which captivates, moves, and engages players from minute 1, utilizing elements that have already worked well.
According to the developers, it is also mainly about offering an isolated adventure, in contrast to previous expansions, which new players can jump into directly without having to have played the entire previous story. Essentially, a direct entry into an exciting adventure.
It is also primarily about the feeling of being an explorer, exploring the unexplored, and gathering knowledge. All packed into an intense story full of danger, moral dilemmas, and events that make you question your own perception.
Whether Visions of Eternity can ultimately fulfill this vision (pun intended) and if players will fully immerse themselves in action remains to be seen when the full expansion releases on October 28, 2025.
So it won’t be long until you can dive into the new story yourself and wreak havoc on the coasts and mystical regions of Castora. You can also tackle one of the 9 new elite specializations, which each class will receive with the new expansion. If you want to know again which ones there are and what they can do, take a look here in the overview: Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity – All 9 elite specializations and what they can do

When do the Spotlight Hours take place? The Spotlight Hour starts every Tuesday at 6:00 PM. It ends an hour later, at 7:00 PM. Which Spotlight Hours you can expect in November can be found in the table. All Pokémon that can also appear as Shiny are marked with an *.
Date
Pokémon & Bonus
November 4
Weedle* and double transfer candy
November 11
Foongus* and double evolution XP
November 18
Sableye* and double catch Stardust
November 25
Zurkitree* and double catch experience points
Spotlight Hour on November 4, 2025
Which Pokémon is in focus? Weedle awaits you in the first Spotlight Hour of the new month. This Pokémon is from Generation 1 and has the Bug and Poison types. It can evolve into Kakuna and then into Beedrill.
What bonus is active? If you transfer Pokémon to the professor during the Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of candy for it.
Is the event worth it? Weedle and its evolutions are not strong attackers. Only the Mega Evolution of Beedrill is an acceptable attacker.
You can take advantage of the event bonus if you need to make space in your Pokémon bag. This is particularly easy if you have already tagged the Pokémon you want to transfer with a tag.
Can you catch Shiny Weedle? Yes. With a bit of luck, you may also encounter the Shiny variant of Weedle.
Spotlight Hour on November 11, 2025
Which Pokémon is in focus? In this Spotlight Hour, you can encounter Foongus. This Pokémon has the Grass and Fairy types. It is from Generation 7 and can evolve into Amoonguss.
What bonus is active? Every Pokémon that you evolve during this Spotlight Hour will earn you double experience points.
Is the event worth it? Foongus and Amoonguss are not Pokémon you should plan for battles. Instead, focus on other Pokémon.
However, Foongus is one of the Pokémon that gives more Stardust when caught. A single capture of one specimen gives you a total of 500 Stardust. If you use a Star Piece, you will even receive 750 Stardust. You can use the event to earn some extra Stardust.
Additionally, you can use the event to evolve some Pokémon and thus gain more experience points.
Can you catch Shiny Foongus? Yes. The chance to find one is not increased compared to the other Spotlight Hours. However, with a bit of luck, you may still encounter a Shiny specimen.
Which Pokémon is in focus? On November 18, you will find the Dark-Ghost Pokémon Sableye in the Spotlight Hour. It is from Generation 3 and has, apart from its Mega Evolution, no evolutionary stage.
What bonus is active? The amount of Stardust you receive for each catch is doubled during this Spotlight Hour.
Is the event worth it? Sableye is unsuitable for use in raids or the battle league. It is not one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
The Stardust bonus from the event can give you some additional Stardust. However, since Sableye only provides the regular amount per catch, you can only get 300 Stardust per catch with the combination of the bonus + Star Piece. Therefore, the Spotlight Hour on November 11, 2025, is more advantageous.
Can you catch Shiny Sableye? Yes, this Pokémon can also be encountered as Shiny.
Spotlight Hour on November 25, 2025
Which Pokémon is in focus? The last Spotlight Hour in November 2025 brings you Zurkitree. This Pokémon is from Generation 5 and has the Dark and Fighting types. It also has an evolution known as Irokex.
What bonus is active? If you catch Pokémon during this Spotlight Hour, you will earn double experience points for it.
Is the event worth it? Zurkitree and its evolution are also not particularly strong attackers. You should not use them in raids or the battle league.
If you want to gain some additional experience points, you can use the event to do so. By using Lucky Eggs, you can get four times the amount of experience points for each catch.
Can you catch Shiny Zurkitree? Yes. If you are lucky, you can catch the Shiny variant of Zurkitree.
The Spotlight Hours are just one of the many events taking place every month. In addition to other events and raid bosses, there are many more content waiting for you each month. You can find out what those are in our overview with all events in October 2025 in Pokémon GO.

In ARC Raiders it’s all about one thing: loot. The more loot you find, the better, but how exactly does the loot system work in the extraction shooter and what should you as a newcomer pay attention to? We’ll show you!
Why is loot so important in ARC Raiders? In extraction shooters, the goal is primarily to get as much loot as your pockets can carry. ARC Raiders is no exception, as with it you can complete missions, craft items, upgrade or sell weapons to earn money. That’s why it’s all about loot.
What exactly is loot in ARC Raiders? Loot comes in various forms, ranging from mere mechanical components and medical supplies to weapons, grenades, or shields. Depending on where you search, your haul may vary. So, it’s important to know how looting works in ARC Raiders.

What to pay attention to when looting
What is important when exploring? As a beginner, you take any path and try to familiarize yourself with the map. This is not a bad thing for your first ventures, but the longer you are active as a Raider, the more you should consider planning a route that is efficient and rewarding.
To illustrate how you should best plan a route, let’s take the map of the dam as an example. A map is always divided into different areas. Each of these areas, also called POIs (Points of Interest), is marked with a specific color.
The color indicates how much loot is in the areas. While “transparent” only suggests a sparse item density, areas marked in red basically offer the loot jackpot with a greater variety.
Of course, it would be tempting to advance straight into the red areas, but these are usually guarded by powerful ARCs and carry a higher risk of also containing enemy Raiders. Additionally, your spawn point is random with each new round, and events like nights or electromagnetic storms also influence your tactical approach. So, you can’t always follow the same route – you have to be spontaneous and flexible.
How do I create a reliable loot route? First, you need to familiarize yourself with the map. Then you should find out what loot you need. If you’re a newcomer, you should visit POIs that are transparent or yellow and typically have a lower ARC density to avoid being caught in a hail of bullets on your way there.
Once you feel more confident and have better gear, you can venture into a red area. It’s also important to consider escape routes in case you are hunted by a squad. This way, you can quickly flee without panicking and getting caught.
We don’t yet know how the other maps of ARC Raiders will look, but the release isn’t far off. We’ve also created a comprehensive overview of the extraction shooter, with all the information you should know before buying.

The Guinness Book of Records has recorded many absurd and incredible records, but video games rarely make it onto the pages. In 2025, a title was added that was originally released in 1996.
What game is it? The video game classic Super Mario 64 was newly added to the Guinness Book of Records in 2025. This jump-and-run adventure is one of the Mario classics that have led Nintendo, as well as the series itself, to great success.
The objective of the game is to collect stars in various levels. This requires opening doors repeatedly to unlock new areas. In addition to the typical jump-and-run, players must also win races against computer opponents or shoot themselves to the right location with cannons, for example.
Even if one might think that the nearly 30-year-old game would not be relevant in 2025 and has been forgotten, it is still popular among a certain type of player, which has brought it into the record book.
Another old game recently received its remake after 33 years:

The Perfect Speedrun Game
Who still plays Super Mario 64? Super Mario 64 has been a popular title among speedrunners for years. The classic is so popular that it now has the most valid speedruns of any video game. More than 50,000 players have already submitted their speedrun of Super Mario 64 on Speedrun.com.
That’s more than any other game, making it a record. This record, where over 50,000 attempts have been made to complete the game as the fastest player overall, was added anew to the Guinness Book of Records in 2025.
The fastest player in the categories of 0 stars, 1 star, 16 stars, 70 stars, and 120 stars is the same person, the Canadian “Suigi”. He holds all records on the original console without an emulator.
Which titles are also popular? While Super Mario 64 is likely the most well-known speedrun game, two other titles are closely following it. There are currently more than 48,000 speedruns of the game Celeste on Speedrun.com.
The mobile title Subway Surfer is also often played by players. Here there are more than 46,000 submissions from players who have attempted to complete the title as quickly as possible.
With Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, Mario as a character appears three times in the top 10 games with the most speedruns.
Mario is one of the most popular characters in the entire history of video games. However, he only exists because the creators originally wanted to make a game about the spinach eater Popeye. How Mario came to be can be found here: Only thanks to Popeye does the universe of Mario exist as it is today.
