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. However, that has changed now, as today’s maintenance (October 22, 2025) marks the start of Phase 2 of WoW Legion Remix. We will reveal what new content is on the way.

What new content is there? In total, there are primarily 3 new types of content that you can play starting today:
The ongoing Suramar campaign, which advances and concludes the Nightborne’s rebellion against the current rule of the city-state of Suramar.
The raid “The Nighthold” in 4 difficulty levels (LFR, normal, heroic, and mythic).
The mythic dungeon “Return to Karazhan”.
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).
Complete the raid “The Nighthold” on any difficulty (+1 Eternal Knowledge).
What content is still coming? More content for Legion Remix is still planned and will be released at a rate of 2 weeks. This means in short:
November 5, 2025: Legion’s Fall – The Broken Shore (Area), the Cathedral of Eternal Night (Dungeon), Tomb of Sargeras (Raid)
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.
When Steam is available, you can try out this gem:

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).
This game should finally make decent profits on Steam:

“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.

Slowly but surely, the characters in WoW Legion Remix are becoming too powerful. So powerful that Blizzard has to change a boss.
It is a somewhat absurd, almost contradictory situation in World of Warcraft. However, the power increase of the characters has become so drastic that a boss can almost no longer be defeated. Therefore, Blizzard had to intervene and adjust this boss in the Emerald Nightmare so that it no longer causes frustration and annoyance.
Start video
WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works
What is the problem? More and more characters in WoW Legion Remix are becoming completely overpowered – this is indeed intended. However, with the boss Il’gynoth, Heart of Corruption, this is a problem. Because a core mechanic of the fight consists of defeating the “Eye” that blocks the entrance to the heart of the boss.
The Eye, however, takes drastically reduced damage (99% less), so it cannot be killed in a conventional way. The mechanic of the fight now consists of luring “Nightmare Secrets” to this Eye and defeating them there. The secrets explode at the end of their lifespan, causing high damage to the Eye that penetrates its damage reduction.
The problem was that the Nightmare Secrets have so few hit points that basically a single ability can already kill them – immediately after they appear. Thus, there was no time to lure the secrets to the Eye.
However, the premature killing is often not intentional. Many passive effects of the classes, which randomly hit nearby targets, could already cause a secret to explode prematurely. Especially overpowered characters that have already reached artifact level 999 cause problems here.
To reach Il’gynoth’s heart, some coordination was needed – but overly powerful characters made it impossible.
A nerf makes the enemies immune until they are properly positioned
How did Blizzard fix this? Blizzard has now changed how the secrets explode with a hotfix. You can still damage them down to 1 hit point, which normally triggers the explosion. However, their explosion is delayed and only activated when the secret is in the Eye’s range. It is therefore nearly impossible to kill the secrets prematurely.
This simplifies the fight considerably and drastically reduces the time needed to defeat Il’gynoth at all difficulties.
What else has changed? Apart from the changes to Il’gynoth, the update brought a few other improvements and bug fixes. The most important new features include:
“Eye of Greed” is no longer permanently trapped in the sky and can be freed by player characters.
“Fragmented Remembrance of Epoch Challenges” is now sent by the mailman to player characters if they haven’t looted the items.
Effects caused by affixes no longer appear twice as often as planned in the “Soul Abyss”.
Cancelling the Legion intro quest chain no longer blocks progress in the Order Hall campaign.

A trick shot is considered legendary in the Battlefield community. A CoD streamer has attempted it and is being criticized for the attempt.
Who is it about? V1nKub is an Austrian content creator, known mainly for his videos and Twitch streams about Call of Duty: Warzone.
In his streams, he has an average of over 1,200 viewers and consistently reaches 20,000 to 80,000 views with his videos – sometimes more, sometimes less.
In his videos, he showcases strong loadouts or better settings for the respective games, as well as content meant to entertain – including beautiful kills or funny microphone recordings of German-speaking players.
In recent weeks, V1nKub primarily played Battlefield 6 and frequently heard in the comments on various social media platforms that he should go back to Call of Duty. But now the streamer attempted a legendary trick shot that many Battlefield players work towards and hoped to gain the respect of the community with it.

Battlefield 6 bringt den Sweet-Spot zurück – So funktioniert er
CoD streamer achieves half a Battlefield trick shot
What was special about the shot? V1nKub attempted the so-called RendeZook during a Twitch stream – and was at least partially successful.
The RendeZook is a legendary trick shot where the player exits the jet/airplane mid-flight, shoots down an enemy jet with the unguided rocket launcher, and re-enters their aircraft. The trick shot was invented almost 14 years ago by the YouTuber Stun_gravy, who combined the terms rendezvous and bazooka (Zook) since the trick shot consists of the bazooka shot and the rendezvous with their own jet as a result of the shot.
V1nKub achieved this trick shot halfway during his live broadcast: During a match on Operation Firestorm, he baited an enemy jet behind him, exited his jet, and shot down the opposing jet with an unguided RPG – but failed to get back into his jet.
Here you can watch the clip of V1nKub on TikTok:

On TikTok, the streamer proudly commented on the clip: “Now at least I’ve earned a LITTLE respect from the Battlefield community, right?”, referring to the many comments that have been telling him in recent days and weeks to go back to Call of Duty.
However, part of the Battlefield community saw the “respect” differently and criticized the streamer for his attempt, rather than enjoying the fact that he, as a CoD streamer, is trying something so special for Battlefield players.
Why are Battlefield fans complaining? In the comments, users write that they did that 10 years ago. Others say that with a half trick shot he is not one of them and that “a real Battlefield player” would have gotten back into the jet.
The comments criticize mainly that it is not a complete RendeZook – which the streamer also did not claim. On the contrary, during the stream he asked his chat for tips on how to re-enter the jet to complete the RendeZook.
At a conference of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, the Catholic Church called for global rules for the use of AI, while the Pope speaks out against a technological arms race.
What does the Pope say in detail? Pope Leo XIV has repeatedly emphasized since his appointment in May 2025 that he considers Artificial Intelligence to be a central topic. He sees the current technological progress as a new industrial revolution and hopes that AI can create a “more authentic, just, and humane global society”.
For this to happen, he believes that much must still change. Currently, the new technology is rather a “threat to human dignity, justice, and work”. He criticizes the technological arms race in the world and advocates for a “courage of disarmament”.

When Microsoft meets the Vatican
What happened at the conference? On October 16 and 17, 2025, a Vatican conference brought together 50 experts from around the world to discuss how AI can serve the cause of peace, social justice, and holistic human development.
Academics met practical perspectives, theoretical research met concrete case studies and experiences. The main findings from the seminar:
The participants reinforce the Pope’s criticism and emphasize the urgency of stopping the AI arms race.
Much more importantly, it is essential to distribute the benefits of AI fairly while keeping social justice in mind. There must not be a monopolistic concentration in the AI market.
According to the experts, it is also important to create a binding regulatory framework for all, building on existing AI regulatory initiatives.
Other topics included reducing the energy consumption of AI data centers, developing a reasonable AI infrastructure, and improving collaboration between countries. There was even discussion about developing “neuro-rights” to protect individuals from dangers posed by invasive technologies such as brain chips.
The sandbox MMORPG Pax Dei has managed to regain many players with its 1.0 release. Another MMO that left Early Access on Steam on the same day, however, currently boasts 5 times as many players.
Which game is that? The new game is called Necesse and is developed by Fair Games ApS. Like Pax Dei, Necesse also released its 1.0 version on October 16, 2025. Both games gained many new players this way, or brought back old ones.
After Pax Dei had only around 300 concurrent players on Steam months before the 1.0 release (according to steamdb.info), a whopping 6,500 players logged in by October 19 – the most in a long time
Necesse reached its all-time peak on October 19 with 29,440 concurrent players (according to steamdb.info) – about 5 times more players than Pax Dei
While the excitement for the release of Pax Dei is currently lacking, Necesse can convince a large portion of its players. The nearly 16,000 reviews for Necesse are 93% positive, while only 55% of the roughly 5,000 reviews for Pax Dei are positive.
By the way, here you can see a trailer for Necesse:

After 6 years in Early Access, a new MMO launches on Steam
Mix of Terraria and RimWorld with a pinch of MMO
What kind of game is Necesse? In the Steam reviews, the game is frequently compared with other titles – including Terraria, Stardew Valley, and RimWorld. The reason for this selection is likely the visual style of the game: Necesse relies on a stylized pixel look from a top-down perspective.
Even in gameplay, parallels can be drawn. User Wolfguarde expressed in his Steam review: “Gameplay is a mashup of Rimworld’s colony control and camera placement with Terraria’s progression and gameplay style.”
Necesse throws you into an infinite, procedurally generated world. You can explore it alone or with friends. If you really want to play Necesse like an MMO, with a mass of players, you can set up a dedicated server. Each server can host up to 250 players.
In the game, you gather resources, build your own settlement, and crawl through dungeons where you loot treasures and defeat bosses. If you don’t want to perform certain tasks yourself, you can count on the help of the villagers.
“[…] you get an army of villagers to do the boring stuff. Hate farming? […] Hate chest sorting? […] Hate mining? Tell the villagers to do it.” (Jayel on Steam)
How much does the game cost? The standard price for Necesse is €14.99. However, anyone who purchases it by October 30, 2025, gets the game on Steam for half price. So you’ll only pay €7.49.
In Destiny Rising, you can familiarize yourself with fishing at a specific time to secure valuable rewards. What you should know about this activity can be found here.
When does fishing start? In Destiny Rising, you can unlock a mini-game that allows you to fish at designated fishing spots marked with a hook on your map. To unlock the feature, you must have completed Chapter 2–1. Then activate the side quest “Go Fishing,” which serves as a tutorial and introduces you to all the mechanics you should know before fishing.

How to fish in Destiny Rising
How is fishing done in Destiny Rising? To fish, you need to visit one of the designated fishing spots marked with a hook on your map. Once you arrive, you must cast your line and wait for a fish to bite. You can recognize the moment by the yellow-gold symbol on the right side of your screen.
If a fish is on the line, you need to press the button as quickly as possible. This starts the first mini-game where you must keep the fish’s symbol within the oval display. If you manage to do this long enough, the fish will be reeled in. Catching rarer fish makes the mini-game more difficult.
If you have exotic fish on the line, you will need to play another mini-game where you must steadily reduce the endurance of your catch until your fish is exhausted.
This is what the mini-game looks like (Source: dexerto.com)
Fishing rods and bait: Where to find them
Where can I find new fishing rods? Your first fishing rod will eventually break, and you’ll need a new one. To obtain one, you need to visit Pandora-7, the merchant for fishing items. The higher you rank up with her, the better fishing rods and items she’ll offer you over time as a fisher. So be diligent and increase her rank.
How do I earn bait? What applies to fishing rods also applies to bait. You can purchase it from Pandora-7. Depending on how rare your bait is, the higher the chance you’ll hook a rare fish.
How do I pay at Pandora-7? Pandora-7’s shop accepts two currencies – Glimmer and Fisher Tokens.
While Glimmer is easy to find, you need to earn Fisher Tokens. You receive them by delivering fish to Pandora-7. Note that each item you can purchase at Pandora has a weekly limit.
All rewards from fishing
What rewards can be earned from fishing? If you’re successful at fishing, you will receive the caught fish as well as XP for the fishing path with Pandora-7. As you progress in this path, you can allocate skill points for your fishing talents to become better.
You can deliver the fish to Pandora-7 to secure Fisher Tokens and purchase more items in her shop. Additionally, you have the option to interact with hungry cats using the fish.
What’s the deal with the cats? Before you deliver your fish to Pandora-7, it might be worth it to first search the social space for cats. Many of these furry friends are around, waiting to be fed by you.
Each cat has its own favorite food, so be mindful of what you feed the little ones. With a bit of luck, you’ll receive Fisher Tokens, Lumia Leaves, or Banner Pulls. Also, be careful not to feed the cats your highest quality fish. The offered food does not increase your chances of better loot.
That was all the information about fishing in Destiny Rising. Do you use the feature as a side activity or do you skillfully ignore it? Besides fishing, there are also endgame activities that you should tackle with the strongest Guardians.

A mother wants to ensure that the first session of Dungeons & Dragons is a wonderful memory for her children and their friends. The community provides not only kid-friendly tips, but also adult groups can benefit from them.
What is the mother asking for? The mother of two children turns to the D&D community on Reddit because she needs advice for an upcoming session. Her children, along with a few of their friends, boys and girls aged between 9 and 12, are about to have their first experience in Dungeons & Dragons. Although she will not be the official game master, she will still be present to “keep things under control.”
That’s why she particularly needs help with topics like regulating children’s energy during the game, ensuring that everyone gets a turn, how she can assist the game master without intervening too much, and generally ensuring a smooth gaming experience that the children will remember positively for a long time.
And the community is more than ready to share their own tips with the mother, some of which are so good and important that adult players and game masters should take them into account as well.
Here you can see the preview of the 4th campaign of Critical Role, which is still in the starting phases:
Start video
The 4th Campaign of Critical Role starts now and is bigger than ever
The community offers tips that can be helpful for all groups
What advice does the D&D community offer? A variety of players and game masters respond to the mother’s inquiry on Reddit, many of whom have organized D&D sessions for children before. Generally, the mother is praised for taking the initiative and ensuring that everyone will have a good time.
One point that frequently comes up in the community to ensure smooth gameplay is visual aids. This includes noting down initiatives/turn orders to alleviate some burden from the game master, but above all, it is a way to clearly present this to the children.
Player LordMikel suggests here simple yet helpful craft projects, like clothespins with names that can be pinned in the correct order. This avoids discussions about who is actually up next.
What several players also praise highly are boards or whiteboards for taking notes that are visible to all children. These boards are not only useful for children but also popular among adult players, as Catkook writes: “In physical games, anything that can be easily wiped away is your new best friend.”
What other tips does the community find relevant? Less direct suggestions, but still quite relevant hints can be applied similarly to the whiteboards, not only for children but also for regular sessions.
“Set all expectations in advance. Treat them with the respect you expect from them as well. Take regular breaks and ban electronic devices,” mentions man0rmachine on Reddit. Also, the suggestion from SeachmeJ could be crucial for the session’s outcome: “Snacks. Lots of snacks.”
Other players argue, however, that the mother might be worrying too much about the order and chaos control of the session. They feel that children need exactly this chaos.
“So I would say: Don’t control the energy in the room. Let it be wild and chaotic. Let them have fun. This will imprint in their memory and make it all the better,” writes calif94577 on Reddit, “If the group is really struggling to understand the DM’s plot, maybe give them hints, but let them solve the problems themselves. That makes it all the more rewarding.”
Almost everyone has heard of the seriesFriends. For Jennifer Aniston, the sitcom was a massive career boost. But if it had been up to her father, she should have pursued a different job. Ironically, he was an actor himself.
Who is her father? In Hollywood, the term Nepo-Baby is often heard. The term describes individuals who received a boost in their careers due to their parents. Jennifer Aniston is also the daughter of an actor.
John Aniston worked as an actor since 1962. His biggest role was probably in the series Days of Our Lives. He appeared in 2,761 episodes (source: IMDb). Overall, he worked as an actor in the series until his death in 2022, thus practicing his profession for 60 years.
Yet her father specifically advised her against becoming an actress. Fortunately, Jennifer Aniston went ahead anyway.

Just get a job, a real job
What did John Aniston advise his daughter? In the YouTube format Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Dax Shepard regularly talks with well-known personalities about their careers and the issues they faced. In a recent episode (via YouTube), Jennifer Aniston is a guest. During the episode, the actress also discusses the beginnings of her career.
Shepard asks Aniston what influence her actor father had on her career aspirations. She responds:
The benchmark was simply work, because he said: You shouldn’t do this. My father told me, please don’t do this, you will only experience rejection. You will study science in Athens. You will end up in Greece anyway. Just get a job, a real job.
In the video, they also discuss that parents only want security for their children and that the profession carries a high risk. But Aniston sums it up with: Whatever drives you, if you find a passion for something and love it, then do it.
She also comments again on the Nepo-Baby topic. She says that through parents one might open the door to an industry, but if one is bad, one would not just be able to continue.
How did Aniston’s career unfold? For Jennifer Aniston, it has paid off not to listen to her father’s wishes. Since 1988, she has played various roles, initially only in lesser-known series and TV movies. In 1993, she had her first film role in the trash horror movie Leprechaun.
The big breakthrough came in 1994 with the series Friends. Since then, she has starred in countless films, mostly comedies, including:
