The Twitch streamer NoWay is currently in the middle of his jungle challenge in League of Legends. During a match, he was randomly thrown into the Summoner’s Rift with an ex-professional player, but NoWay would rather not have him on the team.
Which ex-professional player did NoWay play with? In a new video on Youtube, NoWay plays what initially seems to be a harmless round of SoloQ in League of Legends. During champion selection, where the players’ names are replaced with names from the LoL universe, NoWay noticed an unusual choice by his top laner.
The first concern after the picked champ Rammus was that it might be the ex-professional TheBausffs. This concern was confirmed after NoWay saw the skin for Rammus and checked out TheBausffs’ Twitch stream.
Already at this point, before the round even started, NoWay feared it would not work and said: “No, that is also his skin, I think. No, no, no, no, no, no. Please not. Oh my God, no. Help. Oh God. Not Rammus. I’m already opening a Red Bull for the game.”

NoWay complains, the ex-pro ruins many matches
What is the problem with TheBausffs? During the round, NoWay says that it is often frustrating to play with the ex-pro. TheBausffs often does not care about what happens in SoloQ. Additionally, NoWay claims the ex-pro ruins many games with this behavior.
Although TheBausffs is a good player, NoWay has a rather negative opinion of the ex-pro: “You just don’t want him in your team in SoloQ.”
In the end, NoWay lost the round and TheBausffs left the match with 0 kills and 8 deaths.
Ex-pro has been banned in the past for his playstyle
What’s the deal with the bans? TheBausffs often plays very aggressively and dies frequently as it is part of his “strategy”. He became known for the brawler champ Sion by establishing the tactic “inting Sion”. By doing this, he intentionally dies to activate Sion’s passive ability, allowing him to continue fighting for a short time after death.
Sion is not just a real brawler champ in the MOBA. In the lore of the League of Legends universe, he has destroyed entire cities and was banished. Buried under a massive monument, Sion sleeps in the region of Noxus. MeinMMO has introduced you to the 5 strongest champs in the lore of Noxus: There is a really nasty part in the world of LoL – These are his 5 strongest champions.

Both the pirate game Windrose and Crimson Desert were initially intended as multiplayer titles, but in both cases the developers changed direction. In the case of Windrose, it certainly paid off, as the anticipation for the soon-to-be Early Access release on Steamis huge.
What kind of game is this? Windrose is a new survival game with a pirate setting, developed by the Windrose Crew. On land and at sea, you fight your way through a Caribbean island world – alone or in co-op with other sword fighters.
Windrose was almost a completely different game. Under the name Crosswind, the developers initially wanted to create a Free2Play MMO. However, the feedback during the first alpha tests of that version was poor (according to Eurogamer.de).
The developers then decided to turn the ship around. Windrose thus became a premium title for one to four players. This is similar to the development story of Crimson Desert, which was originally announced as an MMORPG, but these plans were abandoned in favor of a pure single-player experience.
In a new trailer, the developers finally announce the release date of Windrose:

From Multiplayer to Co-op and one of the most wanted games on Steam
Was this change worth it? It certainly seems so, as the demo for the Steam Next Fest in February 2026 was received very well by players:
The 8,624 Steam reviews for the Windrose demo are 92% positive (as of April 10, 2026, 10:51 AM).
With over 22,000 concurrent players, the demo was among the most played at Steam Next Fest 2026 (according to steamdb.info)
Meanwhile, over 1.5 million players on Steam have added the title to their wish list. Thus, Windrose is one of the most requested games on the platform. However, when the survival game is finally supposed to be released, the developers did not want to reveal even about a month ago.
Now, however, a new trailer finally announces the release date: Windrose will be released on April 14, 2026 on Steam, initially only as an Early Access version. So don’t expect a finished, polished product. The game is not yet complete and will continue to be developed with feedback from the community.
Dune: Awakening finally addresses its biggest issue with the new update, although this does not please all players.
What is this issue? Dune: Awakening has suffered from an identity crisis since its release. The developers wanted their game to lean more towards hardcore survival with MMO and PvP aspects, such as large clans and guilds.
However, thanks to the popularity of the Dune brand, they attracted many players who have no interest in PvP at all. They enjoy the game also because of the films and prefer to engage in grinding, base building, and PvE content.
For the developers, this quickly became a problem, as while PvP players craved competitive PvP, more players wanted better PvE content. The developers chose to cater to the majority and built their survival game into a PvE title over many updates, but now there is perhaps the biggest change.
Here you can watch a trailer for Dune: Awakening:

Bye Bye PvP
What is this change? The endgame of Dune: Awakening consists mainly of the Deep Desert. There you can find the best resources in the game, but you can also be attacked by other players. Initially, the developers added a safe zone so that PvE players could no longer be ganked – but now it goes even further.
In a post on DuneAwakening.com, the developers announced that all PvP on the official servers will be turned off with the update. At the same time, there will be two versions of the Deep Desert on the servers:
A PvE version where you experience no threats from other players
A PvP version that promises 2.5 times more loot but offers the usual PvP
The developers explain that players are engaged in PvE activities 80% of the time, and they want to make both sides of the player base happy.
On Reddit, as expected, there are divided opinions. The PvE faction of players is very happy about the changes, while the PvP faction believes that this takes away the last appeal of PvP in Dune: Awakening. But there is also a chance for PvP players.
What is this chance? A major new feature announced by the developers is the self-hostable servers. With the update, players can host and customize their own servers.
This will also allow PvP players to create full PvP servers that are designed for competing with other players. At the same time, the servers allow group play for friend groups. Until now, it was only possible to rent a server from provider Nitrado.
A free Borderlands was surprisingly released, but only a few players can play it, and Take-Two must explain that it is not a scam.
What is this new game? On April 9, 2026, a new Borderlands was surprisingly released. The American development studio “Zynga” released “Borderlands Mobile,” a free spin-off of the popular loot shooter franchise for mobile devices – but without a major announcement or introduction of the game.
Borderlands Mobile is currently only available in the USA and was also released there exclusively in the Apple App Store for iOS devices. The game is free-to-play, rated 18 and up, currently about 2.9 GB in size, and limited to the English language.

Borderlands 4: Cineastischer Launch-Trailer zelebriert den Release
Cheap copy or an official spin-off? 2K speaks out
This is what the game is about: Since the game was not developed by Gearbox and neither Take-Two nor 2K Games initially commented on Borderlands Mobile, and there was no official announcement of the game anywhere, some fans doubted the authenticity and legality of the mobile spin-off.
A user wrote in the subreddit for Borderlands 4: “I’m confused… Is this an official game or is it just a ‘Let me copy your homework’ mobile game?”
In the meantime, 2K Games has commented on Borderlands Mobile and confirmed that the game is indeed an official spin-off. In response to Forbes, a spokesperson stated:
“We are always looking for ways to bring Borderlands to a new audience. The Zynga studio NaturalMotion is currently conducting a limited-time test for an untitled Borderlands project for mobile devices, with Gearbox providing creative input on the design, story, and background of the game series. We hope players enjoy this new Borderlands experience and look forward to their feedback.”
Zynga, the development studio behind Borderlands Mobile, has been part of Take-Two Interactive for several years and is therefore part of the same corporate group as 2K Games and Borderlands developer Gearbox Software. The acquisition of Zynga made headlines because the purchase offer, according to the CEO of Take-Two, was around $12.7 billion.
This is what the game is about: According to the first U.S. testers, the game apparently follows its own, new story that takes place shortly after the events of Borderlands 3.
Since it is initially only a limited-time test, only one vault hunter is currently playable. However, it is already visible in the menu that there will be 3 more. The gameplay itself is heavily based on the Borderlands formula but is noticeably tailored for mobile, meaning shorter missions.
Players who play Pokémon GO rely on other trainers for certain features. This is difficult when no one is playing nearby. Fortunately, one can rely on the online community.
In Pokémon GO, there are many features that can only be fully utilized with multiple players. One doesn’t even need to look at the challenging Gigantamax battles – even the basic gym feature in Pokémon GO is hardly usable when there are few or no players around.
But one player apparently has it a lot harder: As user Sea-Of-Bitterness-MKreports in the subreddit for Pokémon GO, it seems that really no one plays Pokémon GO nearby. In the comments, he explains that he lives in Afghanistan.
There are basically no gyms, PokéStops, or anything around me, the player recounts in his post. Hardly any Pokémon appear as well. He just checks every few hours to see if one has popped up: I have been playing for a week and I’m at level 15 with 76 Pokémon.
However, through the post, the user suddenly is not so alone anymore: Because the community from the rest of the world is rallying to help him.

Users want to help from a distance to play the game better
What are other players doing? In the comments, many people report that they want to help the player to be able to play more.
But how does that work? How can one play with others when it seems likely that one is the only player over many kilometers?
The number one measure is friend codes: They exchange them to send gifts to each other, thus obtaining items and especially leveling up. Because friendships are a great way to collect XP. People from San Diego, Portland, London, and other places immediately report in the comments, wanting to play together with the user and send gifts.
By pinning postcards from gifts, the user could also secure some Purmel to gather more Pokémon.
Several people point out that the user should engage with Wayfarer. The user should start submitting PokéStops in his neighborhood as soon as he has built up the necessary level through friendships. This way, he could theoretically build a map full of POIs if things go well.
How is it in your area? Even in this country, there are enough places where hardly any players are out and about. Then one desperately searches for the next gym to take over or for people to complete the next difficult raid. There was also an interesting case recently regarding an arena that is hardly found and therefore has housed Pokémon for a very long time.

With Malcolm in the Middle: Unfair as always, the cult family is back. After 20 years, Hal and Lois are back, still happily married despite the long time. The actors revealed in an interview why that is.
Since April 10th, you can watch the return of Malcolm in the Middle on Disney Plus. This is almost 20 years after the last episode, which originally aired on May 14, 2006. In the new series, Malcolm has to face his old family with his new family, which he has long neglected.
This happens on the occasion of Hal’s (Bryan Cranston) and Lois’s (Jane Kaczmarek) 40th wedding anniversary. They are still happily married, unlike the main characters from Scrubs. The actors of both characters know exactly why the couple still works after all these years.

Malcolm in the Middle: Unfair as always shows in the trailer why Malcolm hides from his family
The marriage of the two is also positive for the viewers
What are the secrets of Hal and Lois’s marriage? In the context of the new series, Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston spoke with Deadline about their characters from Malcolm in the Middle. Kaczmarek immediately recalls a reference to episode 5 of season 1: They have good sex. I mean, I have to say that. And I don’t think they let that prevent them from being the heart of the family.
In the episode, Hal and Lois argue constantly after they have to live in a trailer because their house is being fumigated. They realize at the end of the episode that they need to have sex to resolve their conflicts, and they ultimately buy gas masks to get into their house.
Cranston gives a more detailed answer and explains that Hal’s character is simply romantic:
I believe, however, that he does it out of fear. I think Hal does all these things because he thinks: “Oh, will she ever leave me? I feel like I have to keep showing her how much I love her.”
The love and marriage between the two has, according to Cranston, a positive effect on the viewers. It conveys a feeling of security to the audience because they stay together, no matter what happens. The family in the series is crazy, but their love allows them to dive into any imaginable kind of escapades [without problems].
Regarding the marriage of the characters, Kaczmarek also praises the script of the series. According to her, they were lucky to play these characters for so long.
The developers of the Pokémon MMO TemTem presented their new game on Steam in the evening. This strongly resembles Palworld and gives players entirely new opportunities to interact with their TemTems.
What kind of game is this? TemTem Pioneers is a mix of survival, creature collector, and action RPG and strongly resembles Palword from its first trailer. Players will be able to gather resources, build their own base, protect it from raids, and craft many items.
At the same time, there are over 200 different TemTems, which are probably already known from the MMO spin-off and can be leveled and evolved. In battle, you assume the role of a TemTem and use various abilities and combos to take down even large bosses.
The TemTem universe is already known from the MMO, which resembles Pokémon. The new title is a spin-off of it and has immediately captured the interest of fans.
Here you can watch the trailer for TemTem Pioneers:

€90,000 in 8 hours
How did the fans react to the new title? TemTem has already made a name for itself with its MMO and has gained some fans. This is also reflected in the Kickstarter campaign for the new spin-off. There, the requested €90,000 was reached in just 8 hours. The developers from Spain seemingly missed the rush for their title and only saw the amount the next morning.
At the time of this article (9 AM on April 10, 2026), the donation counter is already at nearly €110,000 and is on track for the first stretch goal. Here, players can unlock the new biome “Crystal Biome,” which will likely also unlock the “Crystal Tem” monsters.
Meanwhile, in the comments on Kickstarter, fans are expressing their excitement about the project and many also praise the work on the predecessor.
What about Palworld? TemTem Pioneers is clearly oriented towards Palworld. The colorful mix of open-world, creature collector, and survival action game is unmistakable. However, the developers of Palworld hold no grudges against TemTem Pioneers; on the contrary.
On X.com, Bucky, the community manager of Palworld, speaks out. He explains there that they wish “only the best” for TemTem and their new game. At the same time, he addresses the accusations that TemTem is just a copy of Palworld.
Here he says that the developers of Palworld think the game looks good and they are looking forward to being able to play it soon.
When does TemTem Pioneers launch? However, it will likely still take a while until the release of TemTem Pioneers. Although there is no date to be found on Steam, the rewards on Kickstarter are expected to be delivered in December 2028. Whether the planned alpha for supporters on Kickstarter will start earlier is still uncertain.

The community of Warhammer 40,000 has found a new favorite. The latest warrior of a tabletop player is currently capturing thousands of hearts and is dubbed an “unfair advantage.”
But Wormy is not just cute; he is so cute that countless tabletop players are at his feet, even though a worm doesn’t even have feet. But better see for yourself what Wormy looks like.

Wormy is introduced as the newest member of his Tyranid army. Additionally, the user asks for feedback on his painting technique. With Wormy, he tested the so-called “glazing.” This is a technique where multiple layers of heavily diluted paint are applied.
This is supposed to create a nice gradient of colors, as seen on Wormy at the transition from the purple chitin plate to his head. The light shadows between the individual spherical body segments were also painted with this technique.
Thousands have suddenly fallen in love with Wormy
What does the Warhammer community say about Wormy? So far, the post has gathered over 9,300 upvotes (as of April 10, 2026, at 8:30 AM). After the post was published, there were a lot of comments from other Warhammer fans who claimed to have fallen in love with Wormy.
The top comment with 1,000 upvotes features an edited image with Wormy in focus and reads: “I only met Wormy a day and a half ago, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.” It is a Wormy version of a meme from the series Brooklyn 99.
Another Reddit user has claimed they would never allow the poster to bring Wormy into a game of Warhammer against them. Their reasoning: Wormy is just too cute to kill and thus provides a real “unfair advantage.”
What do you think of Wormy, and have you perhaps even created your own warriors for your Warhammer army?
The difficulty in Crimson Desert is high. So, it’s not a shame, but even desirable, to occasionally struggle against bosses. What you can do when you’re stuck, we will explain.
Crimson Desert offers you no option to adjust the difficulty in the settings. However, boss fights and sieges can be tough – sometimes too tough. Are you constantly getting hit and unable to defeat the enemies before they send you to the afterlife?
Don’t worry, as the game provides various ways to ease tough challenges, even without adjustable difficulty. Here is our list of things you should do when you fail in battles:
Crimson Desert: Launch trailer shows new bosses, dragon action and the storming of a moving train
Pack as much healing through food as possible
If an enemy seems difficult at first glance, more healing items are the easiest way to still succeed. The key when you face challenges is to optimize your healing management. You should pay attention to the following points:
Gather and buy mainly one type of meat so that you don’t clutter your inventory → As much as you can and whenever you can
Always cook the best dishes possible at the cooking pot that heal you fully so you can better focus on the fight without needing to replenish every few seconds
Don’t hesitate to also buy dishes from vendors and other merchants. Money will become less of a concern over time
Use healing early to avoid dying during enemy combos
If you pay attention to these points, you have already gained a lot. Because the more healing you bring into the fight, the more mistakes you can afford and damage you can take, as long as you know you can withstand it.
If you also want to succeed in Crimson Desert, our YouTube video with 30 tips for beginners is just right for you:

The second major factor you should address when you’re stuck is your equipment. It’s worth upgrading it regularly at the blacksmith if there isn’t already significantly better equipment available somewhere. The best place for this is the blacksmith in Hernand, as he is centrally located – alternatively, you can access the blacksmith at your camp if you are already that far.
For that, you need to gather the respective resources that the blacksmith specifies. Most of it you can gather in the immediate area at the beginning, such as ores or types of wood. However, some items you will also need to acquire from vendors or enemies, such as cloth scraps.
This way, you can increase your stats strategically and provide a buffer. Resources that you find will also be marked on your map, so you can quickly return there to continue farming. This may take time, but it is worth it when you’re stuck.
Additionally, you should always use the anvil and whetstone, as their use is free, and you get a buff for your defense and attack, which can make a significant difference.
Collect Abyss artifacts & upgrade abilities
This point is a bit more complex than the other two – but it can provide you with crucial advantages if you are unable to progress through the faster methods. If you can’t get further through healing and your equipment, you need to upgrade your abilities.
The best way to do this is by collecting artifact points. You earn these by completing main quests, defeating bosses, exploring the map, solving Abyss puzzles, and mastering the tasks of the sealed Abyss artifacts.
Furthermore, by defeating enemies, you fill the yellow bar next to your minimap. Once it’s full, you gain another upgrade point for your abilities. Focus especially on your health points (the large red area), your stamina (large blue area), and attacks (the smaller blue areas) that support your playstyle.
If you have trouble finding the Abyss puzzles, look for high points and check with the reflection for clues. Alternatively, a larger area will be marked with a question mark if you have already explored the region but have not yet found the local marker or nexus.
Maintain patience and play passively instead of rushing in
This tip may seem trivial, but in the heat of battle, it can still help to remind yourself of it. Crimson Desert thrives on you learning the movesets of the enemies and finding suitable windows for your abilities.
In battles where you get stuck, it can help to play more calmly and to dodge more often and maintain distance, rather than rushing to deal damage at all costs. Thus, fights may take longer, but you ideally won’t have to fight them more often.
Many bosses have combos after which they pause briefly – your moment to deal as much damage as possible and then retreat. Prepare potent combos with your preferred character and weapon combination for these phases, with which you can strike fast and hard.
Additionally, it’s worth experimenting and regularly using the reflection to make the weaknesses of the opponent visible and to focus on them. A more passive playstyle suits this well until you get the hang of it.
Bonus: Expand the camp early & take companions with you
Not a direct aid to perform better against bosses, but in the long run, it’s a significant relief: Expand your camp with the graumähne (Silver-maned horses) as early as possible. The more you do this, the more access points you have gathered there, saving you long walks.
This way, you can ensure that you find, for example, a cook, a blacksmith, and other service facilities that will help you prepare for tough battles. Because once you’ve unlocked the teleporter at your camp, all you need to do when facing difficulties is return to your camp, and you can equip yourself without having to travel further for the respective boss or siege fight.
To expand your camp, you must complete all the side quests of the graumähne. So always accept them when you see the graumähne symbol on the map.
Crimson Desert is a game that doesn’t hold your hand. Much will be explained little or not at all. While this encourages experimentation and puzzling, it can also quickly lead to frustration.

The powerful bosses you encountered in Crimson Desert are waiting to challenge you again. With Boss Revenge, you have the opportunity to face any boss again to test how much you’ve grown and to further refine your combat style through different strategies and approaches.
■ Renewed Blockades
Peace is fleeting, and darkness does not recede so easily. Remaining enemies are waiting for their chance to reclaim liberated places. Drive out the forces that have occupied these places again and prove the strength of the Graymanes once more.
■ Difficulty Levels
A function for difficulty levels is being added so that everyone, from novices to experienced Graymanes, can enjoy the adventure at the level that suits them best. You will be able to choose between Easy, Normal, and Hard levels.
In addition, we are working on more content that focuses on combat. So stay tuned.
Improvements to Character Gameplay
■ New Skills for Damiane and Oongka
We understand your feedback regarding Damiane and Oongka and know that they need skills comparable to “Power Fist” and “Might of Axioms.” To implement this, both characters will receive new skills that are on par with these skills.
■ Hide Back Weapons
A new option will be added that allows you to hide the weapons on your character’s back. This will prevent immersion in battle from being disrupted by certain pieces of equipment carried on the back.
■ Addition of New Outfits New outfits for the characters will be added. Additionally, you will be able to wear some outfits that were previously only available for sale or donation in the future.
Improved Comfort Functions and Additional Features
■ New Specialized Storages
– Food Storage: We plan to introduce a new food storage where you can directly take ingredients for cooking. When preparing dishes, you can then access ingredients from both your food storage and your inventory.
– Wardrobe: A new storage for clothing will be added where you can store headgear, armors, gloves, footwear, and capes.
– Material Storage: A new storage for collectible items will be added, from which you can directly take items for crafting and refining. This storage can hold various crafting materials, including insects, stones, ores, and more.
– Collection Storage: A storage for quest items will be added where you can safely keep the souvenirs from your adventure as well as your carefully collected recipes.
■ Pets & Mounts
New pets and mounts that can be summoned will be added. Furthermore, we plan to add special armor for other mounts in addition to the existing horse saddles.
Systems and Graphics
■ UI Improvements
To enhance readability, an option for adjusting minimum font size will be added. Since we offer our service in 14 languages, fully optimizing for all languages will take some time. However, to make your gaming experience as smooth as possible, this feature will be implemented as a priority. Additionally, we plan to continuously optimize various UI elements and comfort features such as the world map, inventory, and housing content.
■ Control Improvement
We review every single piece of feedback regarding the controls that you send us very carefully. To provide you with an even better gaming experience, we will introduce a feature for customizing certain buttons for gamepads. Additionally, we will expand the customization options for keyboard and mouse to further enhance usability.
■ Improvement of Draw Distance
To allow you to enjoy the beauty of Pywel’s landscapes even more intensely, we are working on making the rendering of distant backgrounds even more realistic. Please note that the patch may take up more space. The reason for this is improvements in the rendering of distant landscapes and rendering quality under various conditions. Take a look at the image below to get an initial impression of the changed appearance of Pywel.
Additionally, a free soundtrack DLC will be added on Steam so that you can enjoy the Crimson Desert OST at various places. The official soundtrack will also be released on common global music platforms. We hope you are looking forward to it.
How do you rate the announcement for Crimson Desert? Are you looking forward to the upcoming improvements? The last updates were well received by large parts of the community. Players repeatedly praise that the developers are accurately addressing the feedback and criticism of buyers with their implemented improvements – read more about it here: Crimson Desert is selling like hot cakes because it listens to the pastry lovers

The actors of Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro from the Netflix series about One Piece had to create a ranking. It was about who is the best anime hero of all time. And Luffy only ranks 5th.
What does the ranking look like? On the TikTok channel of flighthouse, the actors Iñaki Godoy, Taz Skylar, and Mackenyu were invited to create a ranking of the best anime characters. The following anime characters made it into the top 5:
Son-Goku (Dragon Ball)
Ash Ketchum (Pokémon)
Sailor Moon
Naruto
Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)
Although the actors appear in the live-action adaptation of One Piece and even play Luffy, they placed this character at the bottom of the list. You can watch the video here:

They placed Son-Goku in the first position out of respect. The manga of Dragon Ball has inspired many other Shonen stories, including One Piece, and was the pioneer of the genre. Close behind is Ash Ketchum from Pokémon. Pokémon is not only an important anime but also a significant video game franchise.
Sailor Moon is as iconic as Goku and Naruto and actually deserved to be in the top 3. Thus, only the 5th place remains for Luffy.

Ranking was not created quite fairly
How was the ranking created? The ranking is a blind ranking. A ranking is created without the individuals knowing in advance which characters, foods, or other items they need to rank.
So, it may be that objects that are ranked last would have ended up in a completely different place if the person had known beforehand what they needed to rank.
And you can also see this in the 3 actors. They are visibly disappointed that Luffy is mentioned last and is left with only the fifth place. Taz Skylar charmingly says that Luffy will always be number 1 in his heart and thus the actor.
In WoW: Midnight, you encounter numerous figures who have experienced and gone through a lot in their past. However, in the current expansion, you learn very little about this. That’s enough reason for a fan to create a remedy with an addon. The community is thrilled.
What is this addon? The modification for World of Warcraft is called IMAGO and offers a chronicle of the unforgettable heroes of Azeroth. KYLI4N_, the creative mind behind the addon, explains on Reddit that he got the idea while playing the current expansion Midnight.
When I started playing WoW four years ago, I was completely overwhelmed. I loved the world and was fascinated by the lore, but I constantly stumbled into significant characters and epic story arcs without any context. Either you already know the story, or you have to Alt-Tab into a wiki, which completely ruins the immersion.
Midnight has brought back this feeling in a way that no expansion has done before. I constantly walked through Silvermoon and thought about what this city has gone through while standing next to characters who survived things most players have never read about. And there was just… nothing in the game that could close that knowledge gap.
This is exactly where his addon aims to provide all the essential information for story and lore enthusiasts. For example, if you target a significant NPC, you unlock their chronicle entry and learn who they are, what role they’ve played in WoW so far, and what their significance in Midnight is. There are also entries for the regions of the current expansion.
Currently, the addon includes info cards for 56 selected characters and 7 zones. With the continuation of the Midnight storyline, more entries are expected in the future. KYLI4N_ also explains that he used AI tools to summarize the information for the addon into suitable text snippets.

“Blizzard really has one of the best gaming communities”
How is the addon received? The more than 6,450 thumbs up and over 340 comments in just 12 hours underline how positively KYLI4N_’s work is received by a large part of the community.
Mammoth_Opposite_647 writes on Reddit: “Blizzard really has one of the best gaming communities, and I don’t know if the developers even realize that.”
Late_Stage_Exception sees a need for such information on Reddit as well: “I was in a random group last night where it took forever between fights, so I looked at the old bosses in the dungeon journal and… it almost feels criminal how little background text or information there is about it.”
crabby654 celebrates on Reddit: “Damn, that’s really awesome.”
ABoldBoi also praises on Reddit: “This is so cool! It reminds me a lot of the Codex library from Star Wars: The Old Republic, where you could unlock background information about events, places, or characters you were currently dealing with. I hope you continue!”
The addon, which was released 16 hours ago on curseforge.com, currently has about 1,500 downloads. There are praise comments there, but also initial bug reports.

Not even 2 months after the release of a new survival MMO on Steam it is already set to end. In The Cube, Save Us the lights are going out.
Which game is it about? The Cube, Save Us is a survival co-op game that also calls itself an MMO. While the MMO aspects are rather slim, it is mainly about survival. After a nuclear war, the remaining humans try to gather resources and escape from the “Cube”.
The “Cube” is said to be a massive alien structure left behind by an extraterrestrial civilization. In terms of gameplay, there are beautiful and large maps where combat mainly occurs in close quarters, which sets the title apart from many other survival games.
Mutants and other players pose significant dangers, as do environmental effects that can also be deadly. What sounds like a refreshing game concept on paper is now close to being canceled.
You can watch the trailer for The Cube, Save Us here:

From Early Access to Shutdown in 2 Months
When are the lights going out? The Cube, Save Us servers will shut down on May 8, 2026. The developers announced the end of the title after not even two months. The survival game was launched on March 18, 2026, in Early Access.
However, despite Early Access and a Free2Play model, only about 600 players logged in on peak for Steam just two weeks after the release (Source: SteamDB). Accordingly, the developers quickly realized that there was nothing left to save and announced the end.
All players who have already spent money on the title have received a refund of the purchase price via Steam.
Why did the title flop? As the website 17173.com reports, the title had many problems. The game was technically extremely prone to bugs, crashes, and poor performance.
Although the title had not even been released for a month, items had to be removed from the shop because players had exploited mechanics with them. Even though the issues were then improved, it was not enough to regain the trust of the players.
While Early Access on Steam is supposed to allow developers to publish their game in development, if players cannot enjoy it due to poor technology, then it is simply too early for the step, as clearly shown here.
One of the best weapon effects from Crimson Desert becomes available quite early in your collection and allows you to shoot Aimbot Rocket Crows at enemies with the push of a button. It is so powerful that you should utilize Crow Hunt until the endgame.
What is behind the skill? With Crow Hunt, you summon a swarm of crows that deals some area damage upon use – so the dull description in Crimson Desert. However, the actual effect is much more exciting and powerful.
Whenever you perform your heavy attack (right mouse button or RT on the controller), crows fly from your weapon, diving at nearby enemies. Unlike many other weapon effects, these fluttering birds come with a built-in Aimbot and therefore almost always hit a target.
It doesn’t matter whether enemies are within melee range or not. The crows also take aim at distant or flying foes. The latter is particularly helpful, as some of the most annoying enemy types in Crimson Desert can fly.

Crow Hunt – easy handling, noticeable effect
Why is the skill so strong? Individual Harpies or the flying, bubble-protected cultists can be dazzled by the light of Cliff’s Sword, but that might not always be possible in chaotic battles. Anyone with Crow Hunt on their weapon can simply spam RT or right mouse button to shred through the enemies on the ground while taking down flying targets from the sky.
The strength of the effect is clearly demonstrated in the Delesyia region. There, you encounter entire swarms of mechanical flies. Don’t even try to take them down individually with the bow. Just slice through the air with your sword while the drones fly around you, and your Aimbot Rocket Crows will finish the rest in moments.
The effect is also helpful in various boss fights, as the crows deal damage even when you miss with your heavy hit. Sometimes, you can even throw the annoying critters off balance with constant hits. In short: Crow Hunt is one of the best weapon effects in Crimson Desert, and you should definitely not let the skill go unused somewhere.
Tip: With enough points in the blue stamina talent and the Abyss armor Stamina Cycle (restores stamina on attack) on the weapon, you can use your heavy attack almost continuously in fights – this also applies to two-handed weapons that hold other weapon effects like Earth Strike or Wonders of Darkness.
Where can I get Crow Hunt? The good news: If you play the main story of Crimson Desert, your path will inevitably lead you to the weapon effect. The bad news: You have to defeat the Crow Summoner in Act 5, who will annoy you with several phases and some annoying attacks.
From the defeated Crow Summoner, you will receive a weapon from which you can extract the effect Crow Hunt at a witch and put it into your desired weapon. Make sure to do that and try out the skill in practice, it’s worth it!

For many, the biggest villain in The Boys is probably Homelander. But one of the most fearsome villains from the comics is missing in the series by Amazon. For MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes, this is a missed opportunity because the substitute does not do justice to its potential.
He holds a high position at Vought and makes the decisions for the company. His goal is always to maximize profit and keep the investors happy. In the series, James is adapted into two characters: Stan Edgar and Madelyn Stillwell. However, the comic version has a significantly stronger approach.
Here you can see the trailer for Season 5:

The True Villain in The Boys
James Stillwell is the shadow of Vought in the comics. For CEO Stan Edgar, he takes care of operations and makes decisions for the company. He also regularly interacts with the superhero teams that bring money into the company.
In all his panels, he has a cold and terrifying presence. He never gets angry, which gives his threats and decisions a memorable effect. Even after Homelander completely loses it and threatens him with death, he responds coldly and disrespectfully. He replies to him with complete, cold disgust:
When have you ever done anything even remotely interesting or original? What have you come up with that even the most insignificant representative of this meaningless species could do, even if you were to grant him your power?
James Stillwell to Homelander (Source: Screen Rant)
Stillwell is not afraid of Homelander and does not get nervous when he threatens him with violence. He represents a cold and emotionless company that does not care about anything. Both the comics and the series satirically depict how companies control and market everything. It is about maximizing profit, and Supes are endorsed as long as they serve this purpose.
James Stillwell is more fearsome than Homelander, even though he has no powers. Butcher and his team can defeat the superheroes, but taking down Vought as a whole seems impossible. Even if Stillwell were to die, someone else would simply take his place, and that is scarier than Homelander.
The Substitute from the Series is Not as Effective as the Comic Version
In regards to the series, one could argue that James Stillwell is indeed present. Once in the character of Madelyn Stillwell (played by Elisabeth Shue), who represents the name and almost the job, and once in character in the figure of Stan Edgar (played by Giancarlo Esposito).
Madelyn appears in Seasons 1 and 2 as the vice behind Stan Edgar of Vought. She manipulates Homelander and seems to be the only one who has control over him for a long time. She represents the insidiousness of the company Vought but primarily functions as a character in combination with Homelander’s Oedipus complex. She lacks the coldness that made James so striking. In the end, he frees himself from her control and kills her.
Then Stan Edgar comes into play. He represents the ruthlessness of Vought and does not seem to fear even Homelander. But Stan Edgar falls subject to Homelander and the Supes. Instead of embodying the power of Vought until the end, Homelander grabs the power, and the representation of Vought disappears.
Here you can see a confrontation between Stan and Homelander:

Sure, the products and marketing are still shown, but the person who embodies the essence of a malicious company is missing. Homelander has his own god complex, and Stan Edgar is reduced to a fugitive who takes care of his family. He becomes a secondary character with less screen time.
This is incredibly unfortunate, especially because The Boys does not hesitate to criticize the capitalism of such a company in seemingly every episode. Without such a representation, Vought is no longer the veil that seemingly controls everything but rather a gag instrument. The potential goes to waste, and with it, a counterpoint to Homelander and Butcher. Not Vought has power over everything, but Homelander. This undermines the satirical critique.
Don’t get me wrong. I like Stan Edgar in the series and the approach of placing Homelander and his ego as the central focus of everything, but Vought is, in my opinion, too much in the background, and Stan Edgar is thus wasted. This is so unfortunate because the series also publicly presents the company outside of the episodes: A Supe from The Boys only spouts nonsense, showing why the series is so good

Usually, games switch to the Free2Play area, a co-op game on Steam will leave this soon – and that over a year after release.
Which game is being discussed? The game is called eWorlds and is a 3D platformer. With its multiplayer focus and cute appearance, it initially resembles Fall Guys. However, you are supposed to experience a narrative adventure here.
After an accident, your spaceship crashes on an unknown island where several worlds merge together. You explore different landscapes, from a tropical island to a Wild West town and dangerous dungeons. Along the way, you must overcome traps and solve puzzles.
eWorlds was released on October 24, 2024, on Steam – and it’s free. Those who want to support the developers financially can purchase a supporter pack with special power-ups or the game’s soundtrack. However, starting April 16, 2026, that will no longer be sufficient.
Here you can see the official launch trailer for eWorlds:

eWorlds: The official launch trailer for the co-op platformer on Steam
Developers give away their game for over a year, now need to pivot
Why does the game suddenly cost something? The developers justify their decision with the ongoing costs for multiplayer titles. They inform their players in a message on Steam:
Over time, it requires costs to keep the servers permanently active – costs that we cannot cover with the current free model.
To ensure that the servers stay online and eWorlds remains playable and accessible in the future, they decided to change the monetization model. The game will cost €3.99 in the future. That’s not a big price tag, but still one.
Who is affected by this change? Those who already own the game or get it by April 16, 2026, will notice no change. Until then, you can still secure the game for free and keep it.
If you want to play eWorlds with some friends, you should get it as soon as possible. And even if you end up not liking it, at least you haven’t spent any money on it – so grabbing it now doesn’t hurt.
At the moment, all signs point to a release of GTA 6 on November 19, 2026. An actor from GTA 5, however, would reportedly celebrate another delay. For him, the game cannot come soon enough.
What exactly does the actor mean? In an interview with Eldorado, Jay Klaitz talks about GTA 6. He voiced the heist planner and intel scout Lester Crest in GTA 5. In the conversation, Klaitz repeatedly praises GTA producer Rod Edge and says he is so damn cool.
When it comes to delays, the voice actor sees almost exclusively the positive: The longer Rockstar takes to make GTA 6, and gives people like Rod the time they need, the cooler it will be. It could be another month, or another five months, or six months, or whatever. It will be cool.
What exactly Klaitz means by this statement, he does not define himself. However, he likely means that any kind of delay means more development time, which can fundamentally be good for the quality of the game.

Endlich Releasedatum für GTA 6 bekannt – nicht 2025
More delays for GTA 6? Probably not
Could GTA 6 be delayed again? Theoretically, further delays, even over several months, are still possible. With the release in November drawing closer, one might think that we should start seeing more of the game itself. For example, through marketing campaigns and such.
The currently apparent lack of a larger-scale marketing campaign or even a third trailer does not necessarily mean anything at the moment. Take-Two, the company behind Rockstar Games, recently announced that the release date is set and that marketing will really kick off later in the summer of 2026 (via IGN). Additionally, the delays of GTA 6 have apparently cost Rockstar a lot of money.
What about the price of GTA 6? How much the game will ultimately cost at release to cover the costs that may arise from delays is still up in the air. In the interview, Jay Klaitz was actually asked whether he would pay the currently speculated 100 dollars for the game.
He says, however, that he is generally happy if he can sit down and play even once a week. But: The reality is that I don’t have enough time for a game that justifies spending 100 dollars on it.
What the price will be and whether GTA 6 will ultimately be delayed again is currently uncertain and pure speculation. However, there have been rumors circulating in the community for a while regarding the release. Recently, among others, a leaker claimed to know when GTA 6 Online will be released.

Interstellar is one of the biggest sci-fi blockbusters of recent years – and that’s only because a legendary director did not direct the moviehimself. At least that is what Steven Spielberg says, who worked on the film for an entire year before ultimately leaving it to someone else.
Where does this info come from? The American director Steven Spielberg spoke in a new interview with Empire Magazine (via gamesradar+) for the first time about his work on Interstellar, which would later become one of Christopher Nolan’s best films. Spielberg had already established himself as a legend in Hollywood with films like Jaws, E.T., Schindler’s List, and Jurassic Park.

Spielberg worked for a year on Interstellar, gave up – does not regret it
What does the director say about his work on the film? According to his own statement, Spielberg worked on Interstellar for a year. “I became fascinated with it,” the director recounts, adding that he spent a lot of time at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. There, he spoke with the scientists and aerospace engineers for research on the film.
When asked how far the project had progressed, Spielberg explains that there were only two drafts for the screenplay. He had them written by none other than Jonathan Nolan – Christopher Nolan’s brother.
At that point, Spielberg was still not completely convinced about the film. “It didn’t stick,” he confesses to Empire. Jonathan Nolan then told him, “If there comes a point where you decide not to make this movie, I can tell you who’s gonna grab it. He’s already bugging me about it. And that’s my brother Chris.”
So it actually turned out that Spielberg ended his work on the film after a year and handed the reins over to Christopher Nolan. And the director is still confident today that it was the right decision: “Interstellar was a much better movie in Chris Nolan’s hands than it would have been in mine.”
Interstellar then became one of the most important films by Christopher Nolan and is considered by many to be one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. Are you also fans and looking for a similar experience? Then we have just the right list for you: 7 movies like Interstellar

Since World of Warcraft finally introduced the housing system, players have become increasingly creative. One player has found inspiration from Counter-Strike 2.
What inspired the player from Counter-Strike 2? The player @woweden posted on X.com screenshots of her house in World of Warcraft. Specifically, the interior can be seen, which she modeled after a map from Counter-Strike 2: Dust 2.
Of course, this is not the complete map, but at least an excerpt of it. Among other things, barrels, markers, a steep section of the included road, and a goose graffiti can be seen.
@woweden writes in her posts that recreating Dust 2 in WoW was probably her most challenging design yet. During the construction, there were also concrete problems like stubborn carpets and stones. And she doesn’t know if she will completely ruin the build when she enters the house next time.

What is special about Dust 2? According to leetify, Dust 2 is currently the second most played map in Counter-Strike 2, right after Mirage. It last held the top spot in April 2024. Dust 2 itself is one of the most well-known FPS maps worldwide. Moreover, it is considered by PCGamesN as one of, if not the best balanced map in the game.
In a Reddit post, players also discuss the popularity of Dust 2. NeatDurain points out that the map is very famous, making it easier to perform well with random groups. There may be some truth to the theory that you often end up in mixed teams: NotInNewYorkBlues writes that one should play with two friends to avoid Dust 2 as much as possible.
This is how the map looks in the original compared to the version in WoW by @woweden:
The original…… the WoW version!
What does the community think? In the comments, players celebrate the housing build, and some identify themselves as Counter-Strike 2 fans. @arismith1213 asks if it would be possible to visit the house. Builder @woweden confirms, but it should be considered that it’s unclear whether the build can be entered without issues. @qyayayaq, on the other hand, hopes that the currently most popular map will be recreated next: Mirage.
Also speaking is @PHRISK3D, a developer. She writes that she has worked on Counter-Strike 2, but also World of Warcraft, and finds the housing build great. Other players are happy that they can now execute the command Rush-B in WoW, and one notes that the WoW version could easily be from Spongebob.
Incidentally, the release of the housing system has not only resulted in beautiful home creations but also frustration. The system was inaccessible and difficult to understand for many people. Later, Blizzard also heeded the prayers of many and reduced in-game costs by up to 93%. Housing, however, is just one new feature from the recently released expansion Midnight. If you generally prefer building houses instead of hanging out in raids and still want to be well-equipped, we have an item recommendation for you: In WoW, you can now earn strong epic gear with item level 259 without having to set foot in a raid
