A snack bar owner relied on a robot as the chef of his business, but unfortunately has to close now because the AI cannot manage the store alone.
What kind of snack bar is this? A snack bar in Singapore named “Wok A.I.” was forced to close just 10 months after its opening. The reason: there was a lack of employees. Despite having a permanent staff member – a robot controlled by AI – operations could not continue as the machine alone could not handle all tasks.
In an interview with Mothership, the owner of Wok A.I. explains that he searched for new employees for nearly 2 months, but without success. The machine, which prepares the fried noodle dish Hokkien Mee, cannot do this without human help. It requires the human touch to prepare broth, peel shrimp, load the robot with ingredients, and finally plate the finished dish.

“I don’t really know how to cook”
How did the machine work? In a video on TikTok by @singaporefoodie, you can see the robot working in the back of the snack bar. However, those hoping for a pan-swinging humanoid robot with the friendly face of the mascot will be disappointed.
The robot is more of a machine that handles frying and continuously stirring the ingredients. In the video, you can see the staff adding ingredients such as Hokkien noodles, garlic, sprouts, chives, eggs, and shrimp, while the sauce and broth are added automatically. This way, a batch can prepare up to 4 portions.
Afterwards, the staff takes the finished dish out of the catching tray and plates it. He admits in the video that he cannot actually cook himself.
Here you can see the AI chef in action:

Why did the owner choose for an AI snack bar? In another TikTok video from @8dayseat, which was released in the same month as Wok A.I.’s opening, the owner Ang Chip Hong explains why he chose an AI chef: “A robot chef helps maintain consistent standards. Even if you prepare 100 plates, the taste is always the same.”
Also in this video, you can see the current floor manager, who according to the owner has just as little cooking experience as the staff member from the first clip: “His cooking experience includes preparing instant noodles, but with this robot he can now also prepare a good plate of Hokkien Mee. Super easy.”
The closing of the snack bar, however, does not mean the end for Ang Chip Hong’s restaurant project. He still owns a second and now only branch of Wok A.I., where his AI chef may continue preparing noodle dishes.
A cooking robot provided a good solution for consistent quality and employees who are not so skilled in the culinary arts, but still need to produce solid meals. It only gets difficult when there is no one to support the robot. However, with another robot named Rocky, there is really no joking around, especially when it comes to a fast game where he is nearly unbeatable: Engineer builds robot that wins every round at a famous game – whoever defeats the machine wins 9,500 Euros

In EA FC 26 the first Player of the Month (POTM) cards have been released. We show you which players have won, what attributes their cards have, and whether the SBCs are really worth it.
What is POTM? The “Player of the Month” is again an integral part of Ultimate Team in EA FC 26. Monthly, the best players in the major European leagues are awarded and receive their own card, equipped with upgrades.
The upgrades typically affect:
Rating
Stats
Positions
PlayStyles
Roles
Weak Foot/Special Moves Skills
How significant the upgrade is depends on the base card of the POTM. The stronger the player’s base card, the smaller the upgrade will be.
On the official POTM voting page of EA Sports, you can vote for your POTM from the previous month from a pool of suggested candidates every month.
Which POTMs are there? So far, there are a total of 5 POTMs in FC 26.
POTM (September)
Player (Rating)
LaLiga EA Sports
Kylian Mbappé (91)
League F
Luany (85)
Bundesliga
Harry Kane (90)
Serie A
Christian Pulisic (87)
Premier League
Erling Haaland (91)
Start video
Deep Dive trailer on gameplay shows 2 different gameplays and numerous adjustments
All POTMs at a glance – Which upgrades and SBCs are worth it?
How to get POTM? The players appear as Squad Building Challenges in the SBC menu. You can find them under the tab “All” or “Pro.” POTMs can only be completed once as untradeable SBCs.
The requirements vary depending on the strength of the card. The stronger the card, the higher the requirements for the respective SBC.
Below, we present all previous POTMs and their upgrades and reveal which Player of the Month are truly worth it.
POTM Premier League – Erling Haaland (Cost: 670,000 coins)
The Norwegian was once again on fire in September, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist in 3 matches. This puts his direct goal involvement rate per match at 2, earning him the POTM award for September in the Premier League.
Is POTM Haaland worth it? The upgrades concerning the stats are rather minor. The most interesting aspect is the new PlayStyle+ Strength, which provides Haaland with even more resilience in direct duels with his opponents. Combined with his powerful physique, he could be very hard to dispossess, making him a strong target in the center of the attack.
Since Haaland does not really fit into the current meta of small, agile players, you should first give his Gold card a chance. You can get it for almost 600,000 coins less on the transfer market and can sell it again.
POTM Bundesliga – Harry Kane (Cost: approx. 190,000 coins)
In the Bundesliga, Harry Kane scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist in 3 games in September 2025. That makes for more than 2 goal involvements per game.
Is POTM Kane worth it? Especially in speed, the upgrade of the POTM is evident. In addition, POTM Kane has the Flatter Shot, the golden PlayStyle that fits better with the current meta than the Curled Shot of the Gold card.
However, Harry Kane already has a Team of the Week (TOTW) card that has nearly the same upgrades and offers a crucial Pass+ additional PlayStyle that fits better with the current meta.
Therefore, we recommend you try the TOTW Kane (90) first to see how you fare with the forward. The TOTW card costs 125,000 coins, which is also 60,000 coins cheaper and can be resold.
POTM Serie A – Christian Pulisic (Cost: approx. 320,000 coins)
In Serie A, Pulisic contributed to AC Milan with 3 goals and 2 assists in 3 games. This gives him an impressive figure of more than 1.6 direct goal involvements per game in September 2025.
Is POTM Pulisic worth it? The upgrade from 84 to 87 looks very solid at such an early point in FC 26. In fact, with the upgrade, Pulisic is among the 20 strongest wingers in the game, according to the Meta rating of the EasySBC site.
With his new role of False 9++, you can also use Pulisic in the center forward position. However, as with Kane, you should test the almost equivalent TOTW card first. TOTW Pulisic costs about 175,000 coins, which is almost 150,000 coins cheaper and can also be sold if necessary.
POTM LaLiga EA Sports – Kylian Mbappé (Cost: approx. 4.2 million coins)
Mbappé’s performance in September in LaLiga EA Sports: 4 goals and 1 assist in 4 games. This made the French attacker a candidate for POTM and awarded him Player of the Month for September.
Is POTM Mbappé worth it? Absolutely not. The upgrades are only minimal. Only Frenzy+ is a real upgrade compared to the Gold card, but never justifies a price increase of around 1.6 million coins for POTM Mbappé.
In any case, the SBC is only interesting for very few players in FC 26, as it exceeds the budget of most players by far at 4.2 million coins.
POTM Liga F – Luany (Cost: approx. 64,000 coins)
The Brazilian playing for Atlético Madrid helped her team in September 2025 with 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 games. The strong average of one goal involvement per game secured Luany the POTM for September.
Is POTM Luany worth it? Luany has received the strongest upgrade of all POTMs so far. However, the price of about 64,000 coins for an 85-rated card is a steep price. If you have 83 and 84-rated cards left, you might try to complete the SBC for fewer coins.
POTM Luany could become interesting for tournaments, as her 85-rated card fits the current requirements (max. one 86-rated player) for live tournaments.
Note: All prices and comparisons refer to market prices according to Futbin as of October 10 (status: 12:00 PM).
Now you have all the Players of the Month at a glance. As soon as new POTMs are released, we will update this article. So feel free to check back regularly. A player that probably hardly anyone had on their radar, but is found in most OP teams: EA FC 26: A card for 70,000 coins can compete in any meta team

Pokémon GO is about to undergo one of the biggest changes in the history of the game. And this could bring you some great rewards.
On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, there will be a major change in Pokémon GO. On this day, the current level system will be revamped and updated. Instead of a maximum of 50 levels, you will be able to reach up to level 80 from this date. Your current level will also be adjusted and changed based on your experience points.
It has already been announced that there will be new rewards for reaching various levels. A recent leak shows what those rewards might be.
Start video
Pokémon GO: The Season “Stories of Transformation” in the Trailer
More capacities for everyone!
What are the rewards? According to data mining, you could get some new accessories for your avatar in the new level system, as well as many expansions for various bags in the game.
The accessories include 3 different variants of hats, shoes, and shirts. These are divided into the 3 Pokéball sets “basic”, “great”, and “ultra”. The names correspond well to the 3 standard balls: Pokéball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball. The Great Ball is referred to as “Great Ball” in English, while the Ultra Ball is named “Ultra Ball”.
The expansions concern the capacities for items and Pokémon, for which you would otherwise have to pay 200 PokéCoins for an increase of 50 each. Additionally, the list also includes expansions for your capacity for gifts and postcards. Until now, there has been no way in the game to increase the capacity for gifts.

How do you get the rewards? According to the leak, you will receive the rewards at various levels. The last reward is supposed to be available at level 70. You should also receive the expansions and accessories retroactively. So if you jump directly to level 60 with the new level system, you should still receive all the rewards that were available at the previous levels.
Up to level 70, you should receive the following rewards:
250 item capacity
150 Pokémon capacity
15 gift capacity
150 postcard capacity
How reliable is the information? As mentioned earlier, the information from the post comes from data mining. These are details found in the game’s files. Therefore, they are not official information provided by Niantic.
It is thus possible that these rewards may not be released in the game or may appear in a different form. However, leaks in the past have often been very accurate. By October 15, 2025, we should know for sure whether the leak was correct.
As every month, October also brings a variety of events, raids, spotlight hours, and other content for Pokémon GO. Appropriate for the month, there will of course be suitable events for Halloween as well. One of them even gives you the chance to catch a lot of shinies.

The new anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance has launched in the West and is seeing good player numbers on Steam. However, the reviews on the platform do not look good at all.
How did the launch go? The launch of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance went well. On Steam, over 94,000 players were online at peak time (via SteamDB), and surely many more were playing on the in-house launcher, Epic Games Store, or on mobile devices.
There were neither queues nor server issues. Many players had feared this beforehand because the developers only offer a mega-server in North America, where all Western players are supposed to find a spot.
For players from Europe, this means a ping of around 100 ms, but the MMORPG was playable on release day without issues. However, there was still frustration from many players who tried the new Blue Protocol.
Here you can watch the trailer for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance:
Start video
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance presents a colorful character diversity in the new release trailer
Poor reviews on Steam
How is the game received? On Steam, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance currently holds an average rating of only 45% positive, which is considered “Mixed.” Players are also discussing the negative aspects of the new MMORPG on Reddit.
The most common criticisms from players in the reviews are:
Auto-combat and auto-navigation
Massive real-money shop with Pay2Win
Battlepass and VIP system
Boring quest design
Mobile HUD with full-screen menus
Dozens of currencies for dozens of systems
Time-gating and uncertainty about what to do next
High ping due to gameplay on a central server in North America
For many players, this is not an MMORPG they want to play, which is why some have already turned their backs on the game shortly after launch, according to reviews on Steam. This criticism is not new; on the contrary.
What was the beta feedback like? All points criticized by the players were already mentioned by beta testers in a now-deleted forum on Discord. MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier also addressed the issues of the MMORPG in his preview report.
However, the developers did not sufficiently heed the suggestions for improvement and released the game without major adjustments. Now they receive the same criticism as about a month ago after the beta on Steam, which tarnishes their positive player numbers.
Blue Protocol: Star Resonance commits the typical mistakes that other MMORPGs have made in the West before it. The developers have not worked enough on the localization of shops and systems and are now experiencing how this is received in the West.

Battlefield 6 is soon to celebrate its release and when it starts, many soldiers will rush to grind their weapons. Many experience points will be needed, but it seems that a certain platform will be favored over others in the distribution of experience points.
How do I earn more XP at release? Kills, completing objectives, and reviving teammates. Everything contributes to your progress, but DICE gives you a feature that allows you to generate more XP percentage-wise if you can meet certain criteria. The following applies:
Own a copy of Battlefield 6
Join a squad
Each of the points mentioned above gives you 5 % more XP when you earn it. This can make a significant difference, especially when grinding your account. There is also a third condition that can allow you to earn up to 15 % more XP instead of 10 %. However, this bonus is only available on one of the platforms (Source: x.com).

More XP, but one platform benefits from a bonus
Which platform is meant? For the third condition mentioned, players must have an active PS Plus subscription and join 2 other soldiers who also have an active subscription. You can guess it: it is the PlayStation players.
No matter how unfair it may sound, PlayStation has always been known for securing the most bonuses for games for its customers. Whether it’s for exclusive weapons in Destiny or special, free bundles for various games like Fortnite.
Once again, fans benefit from their loyalty to the Japanese company. How long this bonus will last and whether it will disappear a few weeks after release is still unclear. After all, this is just a small bonus that can be completely ignored.
It’s not long until the release of Battlefield 6. We will definitely be there with our live ticker and provide you with the most important news about the launch of DICE’s new shooter.

According to a report, HR departments consider only 8% of young professionals from the Generation Z to be fit for work, and this has a different reason than Artificial Intelligence.
The title image is a symbolic image.
What does the report show? The Generation Z currently experiences the feeling that their university degrees are losing value as they struggle to secure a foothold in the job market despite having a bachelor’s or master’s degree.
A report by Criteria shows that a large part of Generation Z is simply considered unfit for this entry by many HR departments. Only 8% of the 350 respondents believe that young people from Generation Z are fully prepared for the positions they require.
Of course, AI remains an important factor in the discussion, as more and more CEOs emphasize that junior positions could also be filled by virtual managers. However, in this case, AI has relatively little to do with the troubles of Generation Z.
What young people actually lack are skills that go beyond a university degree: communication, problem-solving skills, and a professional demeanor (Source: 3DJuegos).

Why do tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg keep wearing the same clothes?
Soft skills are more important than a successful university degree
What makes it so hard for Gen Z to enter the job market? Despite the increase in academic titles in the form of a bachelor’s or master’s degree, young people lack the soft skills that are becoming increasingly relevant due to the high competition in the job market to stand out from other candidates.
Even though they are considered qualified for a position based on their degrees, often overqualified, this is no longer a uniqueness for the hiring department. Other factors therefore play a larger role, which the report indicates are not sufficiently met by many HR departments.
What does the CEO of Criteria say about this? The CEO of Criteria, Josh Millet, tells the magazine Fortune that the oversupply of graduates, combined with a trust crisis regarding the actual significance of the degree for employability, has led to a “critical situation”.
Employers are lowering their requirements regarding university degrees, causing them to lose their significance – and this is also perceived by the graduates.
However, Millet mentions, as highlighted in the report, that employers, regardless of the industry, increasingly count on the soft skills of applicants. Some employers like Google or Microsoft have offered high-ranking positions to candidates without a university degree and have focused on work experience and other qualifications during the application process.

A new feature has been announced for Pokémon GO. And it will bring you some additional rewards quite easily.
Pokémon GO has always focused on local co-op play. Even though there are now options like remote raids to play together from a distance, the emphasis is still on the personal component, as the director of Pokémon GO explained in summer.
Nevertheless, there will now be a new way to perform an activity with friends and be rewarded for it. This applies to both local friends and friends who live far away from you.

Weekly Challenges – How They Work
When is the feature coming? The weekly challenges are a new feature that will be introduced in Pokémon GO on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 3:00 AM. You will find it in the “Groups” tab, which will replace the current “Team” tab. Click on your avatar’s image on the map to find the new tab.
How does it work? Every Monday at 2:00 AM, you will have the opportunity to complete a new weekly challenge. You have 7 days to complete the challenge together with up to 3 friends. The friends in your group do not need to be local.
If you have a group, you must complete a task together. As an example of such a task, the official blog post on pokemongo.com has shown “Spin 250 PokéStops or Gyms” so far.
You can only belong to one group at a time. Additionally, you can only complete one weekly challenge per week.
What rewards are there? If you and your group complete a weekly challenge, the following rewards await you:
additional progress in friendship level
20,000 experience points
6,000 stardust
If you do not complete the challenge, you will still receive some stardust.
Group Finder: It has also been announced that a group finder for the weekly challenges will be made available in the game by the end of the year. You can use this to find group members for the challenges with whom you are not yet friends.
As usual, you can currently find a variety of events, raids, spotlight hours, and more content in Pokémon GO. If you want to get an overview of what content is active in the game when, feel free to check our overview with all events in October 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is getting a third DLC. In this, you will dive deeper into the world of the Necrons. You will also explore the vault of the greatest kleptomaniac in the Warhammer universe.
Who is this infamous kleptomaniac? That is Trazyn, also known as Trazyn the Infinite. He is a high lord of the Necrons – an alien species that gave up their organic bodies through an ancient pact and became soulless, living machines.
Trazyn himself is known as a passionate collector. He already possesses numerous historical artifacts that he keeps in his galleries on Solemnum.
The high lord himself sees himself as an archivist preserving the stories of the galaxy – but he has no problem “liberating” artifacts by force from their original owners. Trazyn conducts wars only for one purpose: to expand his collection.
Here you can see the trailer for the last major DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader:

Free Reign in Trazyn’s Treasure Chamber
What is the new DLC about? In “The Infinite Mission,” the third DLC for Rogue Trader, you will discover a secret vault of Trazyn – or a safe. The term “Vault” used in English can be translated as both. You can get a first glimpse from this short video on YouTube, but there is not much more to see yet.
In the description of the DLC on Steam, it further states:
Discover Trazyn’s obsession with the dynasty of Valancius and decide whether to thwart or fulfill his plans. Take a look at a fraction of his legendary collection, secure valuable relics, and face unimaginable guardians.
It seems that you may get to steal some collectibles from the kleptomaniac. Additionally, there will be a new companion with his own fighting style and combat tactics, and a new mechanic – implants. These provide strategic advantages in battle.
Fans hope for an appearance by Trazyn:
Under the announcement post for the DLC on X (formerly Twitter), user Undefinded writes: “Here are two big questions: Who will be Trazyn’s voice actor? And what will he steal from us?”
Itcolinsane writes under the same post: “Honestly … I’ve become curious. I’m looking forward to seeing how you portray the greatest kleptomaniac of the 40k universe.”
Reddit user accendera is committing heresy in the eyes of the Emperor, writing: “Can’t wait to take every available flirt option with Trazyn.”
When will the DLC be released? Fans will have to wait, as “The Infinite Mission” is set to release between April and June 2026. The DLC is part of Season Pass 2, which you can get for €28.99.

Which trophy is the hardest? It is difficult to assess, as it heavily depends on your skills in multiplayer. If you tend to have poor accuracy, trophies involving snipers and headshots may pose a challenge.
Another problem is the need to complete the campaign. Many fans buy the shooter only for multiplayer and completely disregard the story. While these aren’t difficult trophies, they are time-consuming, requiring you to possibly finish content that you may not enjoy.
That was all the information about the trophies/achievements that you can unlock for Battlefield 6. Will you try to grab them all? Before you start, you should of course know what system requirements you need for your PC.

The Black Panther is an important hero of Marvel, who has faced many dangers in the universe. But his perfect opponent is another hunter who has already made life hell for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Who is the opponent? Due to his abilities and training, the Black Panther is the perfect hunter who can fight excellently in forests or jungles. He needs to, because while Wakanda is an advanced country, the vibranium deposits attract many villains who want to use the metal for themselves. Not without reason:
Vibranium is light but incredibly resilient
Vibranium can absorb kinetic energy
Items made of vibranium: Captain America’s shield, Black Panther’s suit, the body of Vision
Accordingly, vibranium is one of the most important elements in the Marvel universe because powerful objects and weapons can be made from it .
A particular Predator also thought of this, flying to Earth to seize the metal. In the new compilation Predator versus Black Panther: Hunt in the Jungle, one can see just that.
Predator versus Black Panther: Hunt in the Jungle was sent to us by Panini as a promotional review copy.
Start video
German trailer for Black Panther
A Battle Between Wakanda and Several Predators
Why does the Predator need vibranium?The Predators, also known as Yautja, decide everything about hunts. A particular Yautja lived in the shadow of his brother and father. He tried to defeat his brother in battle but failed. To ultimately gain the throne of the territory, this Yautja wanted to outsmart his brother. He remembered his father’s spear, which is made of vibranium.
To have the upper hand over his brother in battle, the Yautja traveled to Earth, specifically to Wakanda, to seize the vibranium deposit. With new weapons and armors, he could defeat his brother.
On Earth, the intelligence and technological advancement of the Yautja also show. They can hack the computers in Wakanda and manage to enter the country unnoticed, and a battle between the warriors of Wakanda and the Predators begins.
It almost seems like the optimal confrontation. As in the first film from 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Yautja fight in the jungle of Wakanda. But despite the surprise factor, the warriors of the Black Panther cannot be easily killed. They fight back because they know the jungle and are trained.
Instead of just focusing on the vibranium deposits, the Yautja leader sets another goal: to hunt the Black Panther as a trophy.
The cover of Predator versus Black Panther: Hunt in the Jungle
The Black Panther Must Defend Wakanda, Even Against Enemies from Space
The Black Panther is also a perfect hunter. As it turns out, this is not the first time a Predator has hunted in Wakanda; hence the father of the Yautja also has his spear. To defend against the intruders, the Black Panther must utilize all the tricks and technological advancements that his country possesses.
Yet that does not prevent Wakanda from suffering many losses. The bloody battle between both factions is a significant back and forth. However, Shuri does what Wakanda actually never wanted to: they seek help from outside.
While the hero fights brutally against the Yautja, Shuri, along with Falcon, tries to prevent the villains from getting their hands on the vibranium.
After many losses and a bitter battle, the Black Panther manages to drive the Yautja away, and thanks to Shuri, they secure the vibranium. But it seems that this is not the end, as the battle has also attracted the attention of other greedy villains towards Wakanda.
What does MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes say about Predator versus Black Panther: Hunt in the Jungle? As was already the case in the encounter with Wolverine, this comic story primarily focuses on bloody fights and the mental game: Who wins, Black Panther or the Predator?
It is blunt when you engage with it, but delightfully fun. The Black Panther fits even better with the Predator than Wolverine, and the focus on vibranium fits Wakanda’s role in the Marvel universe. Ironically, I liked this even more than the theme in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
The various panels are hardly memorable, but they serve their purpose. The battles are dynamic and feel powerful while reading. Unlike the Marvel movies, the brutal fights do justice to the Predator. It never feels like they are holding back the character. Overall, it feels like watching a lost 80s film.
The mystique and leadership role of the Black Panther also get their place, and I thought while reading: I miss the hero in the MCU.
But as a reader, one should know that no great story is to be expected here. The premise is absurd, almost silly. But anyone who reads the title of the comic knows exactly what to expect.
How can I read Predator versus Black Panther? On September 23, 2025, Panini released the compilation Predator versus Black Panther: Hunt in the Jungle. It collects the 4 issues from 2024 and is probably the most accessible way to read the story. The individual issues are available in English as a Kindle version or physically. However, one would have to buy them used or import them.
Even if many viewers have lost interest in the MCU, countless stories and events can be read in comics, even regarding side characters. There is a pretty good story about the heroine and mutant Storm: An underrated heroine in Marvel finally gets the story she deserves

In the new episode of 7 vs. Wild, the candidates deliberately break a rule that was specifically designed for this season, putting themselves in great danger. However, the production also played a role.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Season 5 Episodes 1 and 2 of 7 vs. Wild.
What rule was broken? In 7 vs. Wild Season 5, specific rules were established that only apply to this season. They are intended for the safety of the participants, as the Amazon rainforest poses many more dangers than the previous filming locations.
One of these rules states that there must always be a fire burning at night to protect the candidates from wild animals. Snakes, spiders, and other dangerous animals can be deterred by the fire. Mosquitoes are also driven away by the smoke.
However, the candidates spend the first night without a fire and thereby break the most important rule of the season at the very first opportunity, though they are not solely to blame.
Former contestant Knossi knows fire well:

While the candidates do their best in the division of labor to make the camp livable, the search for firewood proves to be particularly problematic. It had been raining during the drop-off, and the high humidity of over 80% makes most of the wood unusable.
This led to the fact that despite great efforts, no campfire could be successfully kindled at first. The participants sacrificed a bottle of hand sanitizer as an accelerant, which at least promised short-term success.
After much work, the group managed to get a fire going, but due to the darkness, the supply of firewood was too low. Thus, the participants decided to spend the first night without a fire.
Why was there so little time? The candidates of 7 vs. Wild had a long journey to their drop-off location. The three-hour hike through the rainforest with guide Chico also left some participants struggling. Thus, the candidates had little energy and time for building the camp, which was likely intended by the production.
Since Season 1, it has been part of the concept of 7 vs. Wild to challenge the candidates right at their drop-off. In past seasons, participants have been allowed to swim to the drop-off point or jump from a helicopter. However, in this case, the measure seems to have been set too high. Even the professionals David Leichtle and Joe Vogel were under pressure.
Even if the production is of course concerned about the safety of the participants and has accordingly established the rules, they should have allowed the candidates more time to ensure the construction of a safe camp. However, the group consciously decided against the safety rule.
It remains unclear whether everything went as planned during the drop-off or if there were problems that caused the candidates to arrive late at their destination. This might be explained in an episode of the show’s “Behind the Scenes” format. In the previous season, there was already a major argument in Episode 2: Not even 24 hours after the drop-off in 7 vs. Wild, the group is already on the verge of splitting

While players rummage through countless chests in Baldur’s Gate 3 to finally find some loot, one of them wanted to know for sure. And this resulted in a significant and measurable outcome.
What did the player discover? The player and YouTuber “Newbie Indie Game Dev” took on the task of not only counting all chests in Baldur’s Gate 3, but also examining their distribution and probability for loot. From his results, it can be weighed whether it is worthwhile for “loot goblins” to thoroughly search all possible chests or if it’s simply a waste of playtime.
After his investigations, the player was able to determine that there are a total of 17,421 chests in Baldur’s Gate 3, of which only 39% are suitable/reachable for interactions – and much more discouraging – only 29% of these interactive boxes are supposed to contain loot.
He defines “chests” as follows: “A container for items, usually rectangular, possibly with a lid, typically made of materials such as wood, cardboard, or metal.” He excludes bags, vases, and mimics.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Newbie Indie Game Dev visually and beautifully shows how he arrived at these numbers and what other interesting findings he was able to uncover during this deep dive.
Here you can see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:

Digging through chests isn’t worth it – at least not for all of them
How did the player go about this action? Counting all chests in Baldur’s Gate 3 by running through the entire game with all maps is not only extremely time-consuming but also not accurate enough. For this reason, he had to take a look at the game files.
Using a script, he searched the game’s item files for certain keywords that were relevant to him, such as Crate, Chest, and Barrel.
This led him to the following results:
The game contains a total of:
1145 chests (7%)
3699 barrels (21%)
12568 crates (72%)
The probabilities that chests contain loot are:
1001 barrels (29% chance)
6000 crates (29% chance)
603 chests (64% chance)
Barrels mostly contain food and alcohol, crates tend to contain tools for lockpicking and trap disarming, and chests mostly hold valuable items like potions, arrows, spell scrolls, gear, or gold.
How exactly he went about these investigations, Newbie Indie Game Dev shows clearly in his video:

What conclusion can be drawn from these results? After the player uploaded his video, he also shared this with the BG3 community on Reddit to share this acquired information with other players.
Since there are many players who are not shy to invest a lot of time in searching chests for loot, the results hit particularly hard. Less than a third of all chests contain any form of loot, which makes it less worthwhile to search all chests in the game. However, chests tend to be more worthwhile since here not only is the chance of finding something higher, but also the value and usefulness of the contents.
“The calls have finally been heard,” writes Baekurly on Reddit, and PhilippTheProgrammer also feels liberated from the burden of ignorance: “… And only after each one of them has been taken into hand will the curse be lifted” (via Reddit).
Chests in Baldur’s Gate 3, however, are useful for more purposes than just storing items. 39% of the 17,412 chests are still enough to stack them to make even the hardest to reach places accessible. A well-known voice actor, DM, and now a player of the most famous Dungeons & Dragons group, was able to use a lot of chests at release to impress even the game’s developers: Legendary genius impresses the head of Baldur’s Gate 3, plays very differently than planned – Shows how creative one can be

On Steam there is a plethora of games. A developer released his first project over 10 years ago and became known for it. Now he wants to publish his new game in a few months, which is supposed to be his best.
Which legendary developer is it? Edmund McMillen is the developer behind the Roguelite hit The Binding of Isaac. The remake is ranked 19th in the Top 250 on Steam and has a 97% positive rating with over 300,000 reviews (steam250.com).
Mewgenics: Trailer and release date for the new game by the creator of The Binding of Isaac
What is Mewgenics? In 2012, the team behind the classic Super Meat Boy, which McMillen also worked on, announced that they were working on a new project called Mew-Genics. However, just a few years later, the development was halted. In 2018, McMillen was finally able to secure the rights to the game concept and the name.
Since then, he has been developing his new game Mewgenics. In this Roguelite tactical game, you must breed a horde of cats and battle with them. In the interview, McMillen says the following about Mewgenics: “I truly believe this is my best game.”
On the Steam page of Mewgenics, the developer promises over 200 hours of gameplay, 6 classes with over 50 abilities, over 800 items, and over 200 enemies. A release of the game is planned for February 2026.
Binding of Isaac was just training for the developer
What else does McMillen say about his new game? Mewgenics is his big passion project, as he tells in the interview. To learn game development, he worked on The Binding of Isaac. However, his “test game” has turned out to be one of the most popular games on Steam.
How do fans react to the interview? A viewer on YouTube writes that McMillen and his developer colleague Tyler Glaiel must be crazy if Binding of Isaac was just a warm-up for Mewgenics. User LevilyJade has been waiting for over 10 years for news about the tactical game and did not expect it to actually exist.
Players fear that the price of GTA 6 will be in the three-digit range. Experts point out why this is rather unlikely.
Why is there concern that the price could be over 100 €? As development costs for AAA games have drastically increased over time, it is assumed that developers are trying to recoup these costs through the purchases of the player base. This is also the case for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
As of today, no exact price for the release of GTA 6 has been announced. Because of this, many players fear a very high price for the highly anticipated game. Therefore, the head of Take Two, the publisher of GTA 6, also spoke out and explained that they want to “offer more value than what is paid.” However, he did not mention an exact price or range.
However, this did little to calm the waters, and the debate among fans and experts regarding the price continues to this day. Experts have therefore examined the backgrounds more closely in the context of a study and believe: That GTA 6 will cost 100 € or more is rather unlikely, as developers would harm themselves with this.

Rockstar Games presents GTA 6 in the second trailer
Higher Price = Less Profit?
What are the results of the study? A recent study by MIDiA Research (via IGN) shows that a price of 100 € or more for GTA 6 will most likely not be realized, as Rockstar and Take Two would “leave money on the table” with that.
The researchers argue that while a too high entry price would initially increase revenue per unit sold, it would simultaneously significantly reduce the total number of copies sold and thus the player base.
According to the study, which used the Gabor-Granger method for pricing (see wirtschaftslexikon.gabler.de) and surveys of 2,000 American consumers, especially a price of $69.99 (approximately 70 €) is likely. This would maximize both the units sold and the total revenue:
“Our research suggests that GTA 6 will generate more revenue at a standard price of $69.99 than at the much-discussed $100. At a price of $100, money would actually be left on the table.”
Thus, with a market launch at a price of $69.99, about 8.6% of the adult US population would buy the game, resulting in 22.9 million copies sold and approximately $1.6 billion in revenue.
The study further shows that 60% of respondents would “definitely” or “probably” buy GTA 6 for $69.99, while only 35% would pay $99.99 for the game. About 79% would buy the game at a price of $49.99 and only 16% at a price of $149.99.
There is still a while to go until the release of GTA 6 on May 26, 2026. Until then, we can expect the official announcement of the final price and the start of pre-orders. You will likely have to wait a bit longer to see if the experts’ assessment holds true. In the meantime, a streamer on Twitch believes that GTA 6 could significantly raise prices in the AAA sector and that this is not a problem: GTA 6 could raise the prices for all AAA games: Streamer on Twitch sees no problem in it

If you’re looking to learn a new language, chances are you’ve heard of Duolingo. The app is infamous for its Anime-memes. Now it’s getting its own series.
What does the app have to do with Animes? Duolingo is an app for learning new languages, including Japanese. But not only the app itself, even Duolingo’s social media channels are linked to Japan.
The team behind the green owl, which is Duolingo’s mascot, has previously posted memes revolving around Animes:
Duolingo has already recreated a scene from Jujutsu Kaisen with its own mascots. This is a significant spoiler if you don’t know the manga (see it on X).
For the movie Haikyu!! The Garbage Dump Playoff, the social media team even uploaded a trailer since they couldn’t wait for the film (see it on X).
The ice skating anime Yuri!!! on Ice has also received its own parody. You can check it out on YouTube.
The team has some experience with Animes. And as seen in a new trailer, the app will soon have its own anime!
You can find the new trailer here:

What kind of anime is this? The new Duolingo anime centers around the final test. As seen in the trailer, the app’s learning mechanics play a significant role. There are buttons with different words in various languages that must be used correctly.
The green owl becomes the villain, forcing the other mascots from the app to participate in a beta program. Their lives are at stake, as there are lava pits and falling rocks.
The streak that players can achieve in real life by learning multiple days in a row is also visible in the anime. And if you don’t maintain this streak, the app will often remind you emphatically to complete your daily exercises. Even the icon in your menu can change into a sad owl if you don’t study. Typical clichés like a magical girl transformation are also depicted.
What do others think about it? In the comments under the YouTube video, fans are divided. On one hand, there are viewers who are excited about the anime and can’t wait for it to come out.
On the other hand, there is criticism that Duolingo has fired its creative employees and replaced them with AI. Duolingo’s CEO announced in April 2025 that contractors are to be gradually replaced by AI. Because of this, some fans intend to boycott the anime.
When and where can the anime be seen? The anime consists of a total of 5 episodes, which will be available on YouTube on October 13 at 5 PM German time. You’ll need to pay no subscription fees to watch it.
With Duolingo, it’s possible to learn a new language. However, if you are not satisfied with the app or its corporate policies, there are other alternatives.

With Project Ghost, former WoW developer Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street aimed to create an innovative MMORPG from the West once again. Now the project threatens to fail before it is even released.
What project is it about? It is about “Project Ghost” from the studio Fantastic Pixel Castle, founded by former WoW lead Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street, with additional veterans such as former WoW lead Brian Holinka also working on it.
The MMORPG aimed to bring new innovations, like the red and blue zones, which were meant to reinvent exploration for the MMORPG genre. Even the first testers were extremely enthusiastic, but already before the game is released, it threatens to fail.

Why does the project threaten to fail? In a new post on X.com, studio founder Greg Street announced that the publisher NetEase has parted ways with the development studio. While the former WoW lead thanks for the good collaboration, he also sees a difficult future ahead.
He explains in the same post that they are in the process of looking for a publisher and investor for the MMORPG. Meanwhile, he would advise employees to apply for other positions. He also expresses very clear words:
If we do not find a publisher soon, the studio will probably close, and the entire team, including the executives, would be affected.
Already in August, there was a report stating that the publisher had cut the financing package for the MMORPG studio, leading the studio to start cutting costs.
The MMORPG for Warhammer, which comes from industry veteran Jack Emmert, who has been involved in games like Neverwinter Online, Star Trek Online, and City of Heroes, also had to seek new investors.
The creators of Game of Thrones have released a new trailer for the upcoming spin-off series. It focuses on a legendary knight who became famous for his deeds.
What kind of series is this? After Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, fans can now look forward to a new series from the GoT universe. It is called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
The series takes place 89 years before the events of Game of Thrones and 77 years after the finale of the second season of House of the Dragon. It focuses on the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg.
Ser Duncan is played by Peter Claffey, whom you might know as Dunstan from Vikings: Valhalla. Egg is portrayed by Dexter Soll Ansell, who began acting in series like Emmerdale at the age of 2 and has also been seen as young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
You can watch the brand new trailer here:

How does Ser Duncan appear in GoT? Ser Duncan is mentioned exactly twice in Game of Thrones:
In Season 1, Old Nan asks the paralyzed Bran Stark if he wants to hear a story about the great knights. She mentions Ser Duncan.
In Season 4, young King Joffrey Baratheon reads from a directory of all members of the Kingsguard. Ser Duncan has accomplished so many great deeds that he fills whole pages and impresses Joffrey.
The knight, however, does not appear in Game of Thrones as he is already deceased by that time. However, we see a descendant of his in the series, who is also striving to become a great knight.
What do fans say about the trailer? Under the YouTube video of the new trailer, there are two camps of fans. Some are excited about the trailer and praise its “light-hearted and warm atmosphere” from the book.
Some even notice special details in the trailer, such as the fact that Baelor stands at the front during a lineup.
Another user is already frustrated that probably only a few episodes will be released and he has to wait for new episodes. However, this shows that he liked the trailer so much that he doesn’t want to wait any longer for new episodes.
Battlefield 6 is not only for long-time shooter professionals who shoot everything to the ground. It is also for casual players and older gamers. And in Battlefield, anyone can be a valuable teammate, at least if these 10 tips are followed.
What are these tips? In Battlefield 6, you don’t need god-like aim or devilish movement to be valuable to your team. There are a few tips we can give you to help you contribute to success without extensive training.
Many tips aim to play the game as a team, make proper use of your class, and not consider yourself an unbeatable action hero.
Do not go lone wolf
Stay with your squad and don’t roam alone – you are not John Rambo. Your squad is prepared for different situations thanks to the diverse classes, for which you have no answer alone with your class. Also, your squad can revive you at any time, even if they don’t have a Medic. This saves tickets, which is crucial for victory.
PTFO (Play the f* objective!)
It’s about victory, not useless kills. Capture flags, protect objectives, and occasionally play classes that are necessary for the team’s success, like an Engineer when your opponents are dominating with vehicles.

Wait for dead squad mates
If your entire squad has fallen, you should, if possible, briefly take cover to allow your teammates to respawn at your position. If you die or are permanently in combat, they have to spawn at the possibly faraway flag.
Wait for the revive
Don’t give up too quickly when you’re bleeding out. Instead, wait for a possible revive; otherwise, you waste tickets! This is especially a surefire way to lose as an attacker in modes like Rush and Breakthrough.
Utilize your class
Medics, please use your defibrillator and revive fallen soldiers! You might be playing the class because it is now also responsible for supplying new ammunition, but that doesn’t prevent you from using the defibrillator. Also regularly deploy your crates to heal teammates and supply them with ammunition.
Engineers, focus on vehicles. Destroy enemy and repair allied vehicles. Also important: RPGs are not intended for killing infantry.
Recon: You are not just there to camp on a mountain and snipe. Supply your team with intel, scout areas, and mark enemies.
Assault soldiers, you are also more than just a battering ram with two primary weapons. A spawn beacon or the new ladder may provide your team with more than a secondary weapon that you often do not use.
Choose your class wisely
Adopt a class that has not been chosen by your squadmates or is still needed to be as broad and prepared for all eventualities as possible. In team deathmatch without vehicles, you may not need two engineers, while a medic might be useful.
Reconnaissance is important
Mark enemy infantry and vehicles (not just as Recon), your team will thank you and help you. Especially helicopters and jets can provide better support from the air and quickly and precisely eliminate enemy tanks when you mark them.
Tanks are not rental cars
Vehicles are crucial for success, don’t waste them and absolutely do not leave them unmanned. It harms your team massively if you just drive a tank to the flag and then leave it there. Your opponents can steal it, and your team cannot use or replace it until it is destroyed.
In some situations, it may be wise to choose your equipment for defensive situations. A smoke grenade may be more valuable to your team than a frag grenade. Also gadgets like the medic’s grenade deflector or the recon’s motion sensor can help hold a crucial contested position and thus secure victory.
Practice outside of open matches as well
Every player has the opportunity to create and use their own server in Portal. There you can, for example, attempt your first flight with a helicopter or a jet. Of course, you can also do this in an ongoing match, but it rarely ends in success. If you do manage to take off, you quickly have enemy Stingers, jets, or helicopters behind you. So you won’t learn much until you find yourself in a wreck. Additionally, the final phase of a contested match with enemy vehicle dominance may not be the best time to practice.

5 Tips to Get Better at LoL
What tips did the two professionals give? After the question, Upset first replied with: learn from your mistakes. While this may sound quite obvious, in LoL it is worth rewatching old matches. This is quite easy to do through the launcher and your match history. There you can see if you could have acted better in a team fight.
As a second point, Upset mentioned farming. This is important for all roles, but especially the ADC benefits from items the most. A very good farm compared to the opponent can be more useful than just having a few more kills.
As the last point, Upset stated that one should not tilt, meaning one should not get angry. BrokenBlade also mentioned this aspect as a point. He explained in the interview:
You need a strong mental. Buddha-mental. Top laners have it tough […] You need a good mental as a top laner, that will win you many games.
What exactly do both mean by that? It only concerns your mindset. No matter how you play and what happens in the game, you should try to keep calm and not tilt even if your teammates are not exactly friendly. If you are angry or chat a lot, you also make more mistakes.
In addition, BrokenBlade gave 2 more tips for beginners. First, you should learn wave management. This is especially important on the top and mid lanes because you can control and manage the minion waves through techniques like freezing and slow-push. This way, you can ensure that your opponent loses gold.
Controlling the minion waves is somewhat more complex, as you want to keep a certain number of enemy minions alive depending on your strategy and only make the last hit to get the gold. You can find a detailed guide on this on Mobalytics. It explains how to optimally execute a freeze, so that the opponent automatically pushes into you. The slow-push, which is the slow preparation of a large wave, and the fast-push, which is the strong pushing onto the opponent, are also explained.
Secondly, BrokenBlade mentions jungle pathing. He states that it is very, very important, because when you’re alone, you don’t get much help. By this, BrokenBlade means that one should know the locations of their and the enemy jungler to avoid getting surprised, but also to know when they can expect help.
