Streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. has again livestreamed his travels on Twitch and YouTube, encountering a stream sniper who behaved recklessly.He fled the scene despite numerous cameras pointing at him.
The streamer IShowSpeed is currently on a journey across the USA. He is hitting various spots, such as San Francisco and Portland. He visited the fire department and rode roller coasters in amusement parks.
No matter where the streamer appears, he always has at least a handful of enthusiastic viewers following him. If he stops, a crowd forms around him in no time. No wonder, as the 20-year-old has over 2.3 million followers on Twitch and averaged 11,515 viewers during his USA tour in the last 30 days (Source: SullyGnome).
His high viewer count and numerous interactions with viewers he encounters in the stream make IShowSpeed more vulnerable to stream snipers.
What are stream snipers? Stream snipers are viewers of a stream who use the visible information within that stream to ambush the streamer. This does not always have to happen in real life on the street, but can just as easily occur in an online multiplayer game. It’s about somehow being present in the stream and/or disrupting the streamer.
You can get an impression of IShowSpeed’s behavior in our video:

Stream sniper blocks the road, then flees the scene
What does the stream sniper do? IShowSpeed is currently driving through the streets of San Francisco in California with his team when a stream sniper in his Audi blocks the road. At a traffic light that is green, the car does not move. The driver holds his phone out of the window and apparently tries to film IShowSpeed.
The streamer is leaning out of the sunroof of his car and yells forward: “Go! Go! It’s damn green! Go!” (Source: YouTube at 8:24:01).
The stream sniper eventually drives off but apparently does not see the motorcyclists in front of him. He hits one of them, even running over the motorcycle itself. The rider manages to escape from the car just in time.
Instead of getting out, the stream sniper simply drives away, thus committing hit-and-run. Given the circumstances, this does not seem particularly advisable. After all, both IShowSpeed’s livestream and the ABC7 news helicopter’s camera are focused on him. You can watch the clip from ABC7 on Reddit.
Whether the driver is being investigated is unknown. However, a lack of evidence should not hinder the investigation.
Despite all legal disputes with Nintendo, Palworld has announced a new horror co-op: Pals will appear in the survival game Once Human at the end of October, where they can live peacefully with the Deviants.
What kind of co-op is this? The cooperation between Palworld and Once Human will start on October 30, 2025. Pals like Cattiva and Chillet are expected to appear. There will also be a special, event-exclusive island in the game where the Pals will interact with the creatures and beasts from Once Human.
The island is meant to resemble the environments of Palworld and bring together the life forms of both games. Additionally, there will be its own eco-system. With special items, the Pals will also be able to be transformed. This will allow players to experience Once Human from a whole new perspective.
You can form your own impression with the trailer from Tokyo Game Show 2025:

Palworld and Once Human are unexpectedly getting a crossover – Even very soon
Palworld X Once Human and despite all lawsuits
What kind of game is Once Human? Once Human is a multiplayer survival game. Alone or together, players here try to survive in a post-apocalyptic open world. This is made more difficult by bizarre horror monsters, like the running bus with life-sized human arms.
Once Human is completely free and can be downloaded easily via Steam. However, there are additional contents for the game that must be purchased. Currently, Once Human has a 24-hour player peak of 33,946 (via SteamDB).
What kind of game is Palworld? In Palworld, survival, open world, creature collector, and shooter come together. As a player, you are stranded on a deserted island primarily populated by so-called Pals. These can be caught, used for combat or work, or even eaten. The twist is that Palworld can be played as a cozy game, but can also devolve into a capitalist dystopia.
Palworld is a paid game and can also be purchased via Steam. Currently, the game has a 24-hour player peak of 36,962 (via SteamDB). Recently, there have been few news about Palworld itself, except for updates regarding the ongoing legal dispute between Nintendo and the developer Pocket Pair:
Borderlands 4 has received a major update that addresses various issues with the loot shooter, but now a large part of the community is complaining about bugs. The developers were aware of these “bugs” and explained how you can resolve them.
What are these new problems? They are related to the game’s performance, which has been abysmal since the last update that brought the FOV for consoles. Many fans are reporting graphical errors when exploring areas or loading the world of Kairos for the first time.
For many, it is clear that this is due to the new update, and even if they are right, Gearbox referred to these very errors in its patch notes, even providing a fix.

Patience is enough to fix the problem
How can the problem be fixed? Well, the problem is not directly due to a bug in the code of the latest patch, but with the game’s engine. So when you start your game after downloading, your system begins to load the shaders essential for your game world – you surely noticed this during the first boot-up of the game.
Exactly the same must be done again after the patch, as Gearbox also noted in the patch notes on Steam.
Stuttering issues should resolve themselves over time, as the shaders continue to compile in the background while playing. If problems persist after 15 minutes of uninterrupted play, you can also delete your shader cache using the method recommended by your graphics card manufacturer.
It is advisable, before you start farming bosses, to first visit each of the large areas and conduct an exploration tour. Each area must also be loaded, which you will notice especially when trying to enter one and your game briefly freezes while a shader bar loads.
What else has changed? The latest patch has also made various adjustments to the UI & UX, the different classes, and sound. Moreover, there was perhaps the biggest change for console players – the FOV slider is here. With it, you can now set a much larger field of view and enjoy the game better.

World of Warcraft provides currently disturbing images. Because new items make your character naked. And really naked.
World of Warcraft is a game that actually places great value on keeping there is nothing particularly offensive to see. Most of the newly added clothing is quite modest and for many years Blizzard has also moved away from using a “bikini look” for most female characters.
Start video
WoW: Spieler sammelt ALLE Erfolge im Spiel, fragt dann „Was mache ich jetzt?“
But now there is more than just bikini look – because characters can be naked in a way that Blizzard surely did not intend.
Currently, the Brewfest is taking place in World of Warcraft. This is basically the Oktoberfest version of World of Warcraft. Here, you fight against Dark Iron Dwarves, collect plenty of rewards, and get drunk mercilessly.
New in 2025 are a whole range of quests and rewards. Among them, there are also different variants of a kilt. But it brings naked truths with it.
Update: A small hotfix has caused the kilt to now accurately display the underwear again. Terrible images like the one below are now a thing of the past.
What has been discovered? When wearing the new Brewfest kilt that you can buy from the reward vendor, you might not want to play too much with the camera. Because if you look under the skirt of your character, you will find that they are completely unclothed there. This leads to some bizarre views, like this screenshot:

What kind of bug is this? For those who don’t know: All character models of players in World of Warcraft exist in the game files in a completely naked form. The underwear is displayed in almost all cases, so players never really see their character naked.
There are various pieces of clothing, such as cloth dresses with long leg slits, where the underwear is also “hidden”. In such cases, the texture of the dress ensures that one cannot look “under the skirt”. But that seems to be the case with the new Brewfest rewards.
Blizzard is likely to fix this bug soon with a hotfix, as it could be somewhat disturbing.
The mangaka of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, assigned certain countries of the world to the Straw Hat crew 16 years ago. For many years, he regretted his decision, but now he is glad to have chosen these nationalities.
From which countries would Luffy and the others come? In every issue of the manga of One Piece, questions from fans are printed, which Oda personally answers. This has led to many new details being revealed, such as names of former members of the Seven Samurai.
In volume 56, Oda was asked from which countries the Straw Hat pirates would come if One Piece took place in the real world. Oda assigned the following origins to the Straw Hats:
Luffy: Brazil
Zoro: Japan
Nami: Sweden
Usopp: Africa
Sanji: France
Chopper: Canada
Nico Robin: Russia
Franky: USA
Brook: Austria
This means that 3 of the Straw Hats would even come from Europe! Unfortunately, Oda revealed in another interview with Netflix that he regretted this decision for a long time, but his opinion eventually changed.
Start video

Oda regretted the nationalities of the Straw Hat crew
Why did he regret it? In an interview with Netflix, Oda was asked how the decision for the nationalities came about. Many fans wonder why they were chosen for the live-action series on Netflix.
Oda then replied that he regretted choosing these countries so lightly:
When I originally commented on SBS [the Q&A format, note by the editor] about the nationalities of the characters, it was meant rather jokingly. I didn’t think that it would influence the production team so much.
Has that changed? However, when he was shown the candidates for the roles of the Straw Hats, which were based on his previous categorizations, Oda actually found them suitable.
He realized that his careless answers had some truth to them. After 16 years, Oda could therefore be sure that he had indeed made the right choice.
In the end, the producers only roughly adhered to the guideline: For example, the actor for Luffy comes from Mexico, which could be summarized with Brazil as Latin America. Emily Rudd does not even come from Europe, but from the USA.
Baldur’s Gate 3 allows players to switch all companions to different classes to utilize new tactics. Larian revealed for the 2nd anniversary of the game that only 350 players assigned a new class to a character, which might seem confusing at first – but the community knows why it can make sense.
Which character was switched to which class? In the community update for the 2nd anniversary of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian shared the information that a small number of players assigned a new class to the ranger Minsc, whom you can recruit in the third act of the game – and it was rather an unusual choice.
350 players made Minsc a cleric of the Death Domain, a subclass integrated into the game with Patch 8.
Those who already know Minsc understand that he is a very lovable, but (with a wisdom of 8 and an intelligence of 6) also a bit dim-witted hero, who places greater value on strength and dexterity. Assigning him the position of a wise cleric of the Death Domain sounds as strange as his appearance at first glance (but only at first, otherwise he rocks his new armor).
This not only brings players to laughter, as can be seen in the Reddit post by Former-Disaster-5902, but also caused confusion even at Larian: “Are you okay?”
But the community knows what might have been going through the minds of the 350 players, as there are indeed good reasons to make Minsc a cleric.
Here you see the animated short film for Patch 8 from Baldur’s Gate 3, which also included Minsc’s new subclass:

The community knows why Minsc can work as a cleric
Why is the community less surprised than the studio of the game? Minsc as a cleric, that invites a chuckle, as many would rather assign him a stereotypical barbarian personality. So does Puppetxmasterx, who explains on Reddit: “Honestly, I always make him a barbarian. That fits much better with how he behaves.”
Other players are rather surprised why so few chose this option. “Honestly, I’m surprised it’s not more players, even if it’s just for the Jack-of-all-trades achievement,” writes literallybyronic on Reddit. This achievement is only obtained when a character takes a level in every playable class from Baldur’s Gate 3.
To achieve this as quickly and easily as possible, one can send a character to Withers and level up again, which can also include a cleric of the Death Domain.
“That’s how 99% of people achieve this achievement,” writes Sunny_Hill_1 on Reddit, “by putting Minsc into every class and then leveling up again.”
How can Minsc also be useful as a cleric? Another player describes that he also made Minsc a cleric, but of the Life Domain, and for good reason. Mykeedee reveals on Reddit that he assigned Minsc this domain so that he could cast the spell “Heroes’ Feast” after every long rest without using the spell slots of a “real” cleric.
Heroes’ Feast is a level 6 spell that allows all allies within a certain radius of 18 meters to no longer be poisoned, sick, or frightened, have their maximum HP increased by 12, and gain advantage on Wisdom saving throws. This spell also makes a fight against a strong boss much easier.
The developers of Chrono Odyssey are apparently constantly asked when the next updates and news about the highly anticipated MMORPG will be released. As a result, they have now provoked several official posts that are somewhat odd.
What kind of posts are these? Almost 2 months after the last developer update, the developers of Chrono Odyssey broke the silence. But not because there are exciting news about the MMORPG, but because they are apparently repeatedly asked by the community when an update can be expected.
Part of these questions that were posed via the official Discord channel are addressed by the developers in a short video on X, in which the community managers also share smaller impressions from the studio and their daily work – with scenes more about meals, shoes, and the commute to work.

“Be patient, okay?”
In a second post, the developers clarify on X: “There is no update because there simply isn’t one. The devs are currently very busy, so it will take a while until we can show you changes and results. Be patient, okay?” The post is accompanied by several praying emojis.
Finally, BongGun Bae, the CEO of Chrono Studio, intervened, standing on the side of the players. His offer on X: “Show us something small, and I will bring the team coffee and donuts tomorrow. The. Best. Motivation. Ever.”
Whether anything substantial will result for the fans is currently unclear. MeinMMO will keep you updated in case the developers reveal new details about Chrono Odyssey.
What do I need to know about Chrono Odyssey? Chrono Odyssey was supposed to be released this year for PC (Steam and Epic Games), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The new MMORPG by Chrono Studio provides a mix of theme park and sandbox, with a strong focus on PvE content for solo players and small groups of 3, 5, or 10 players (PvP exists but is supposed to be optional).
A new update for Borderlands 4 was released on September 25. What’s inside? We summarize the highlights and show the patch notes.
When will the update be available? The update for Borderlands 4 is already available and should install automatically. At the latest, when you restart the game.
What does the update bring? The update is packed with changes that affect both performance and features or certain balancing aspects.
We summarize the highlights here. You can find the complete patch notes on page 2.

New FOV slider for PS5, Xbox Series X/S provides overview
The most important contents of the update: One of the key points is that a highly requested feature is being added: You now get a field-of-view slider on consoles as well. This gives you the option to adjust the field of view of your vault hunters and gain more overview.
In addition, the following points are included:
The weekly activities rotate. There is a new boss you can challenge in “Moxxi’s Fat Addition.” This is a stronger version of an existing boss, which should bring you particularly good loot.
The weekly wildcard mission with guaranteed legendary loot will be changed.
The dinosaur Maurice is moving with his shop.
Performance will be enhanced. Various stability issues are to be addressed. It is to be hoped that performance problems will generally improve.
There was a multiplayer issue where you could suddenly receive a lot of XP at once. This has been resolved.
Several changes were made to the vault hunters. There were unforeseen effects with various skills that shouldn’t occur. These have been adjusted now.
Further gameplay bugs have been removed.
And various changes have been made to some weapons.
You can find the details of the adjustments in the complete patch notes for the Borderlands 4 update. We will add them on the second page. We are definitely excited to see how the update will affect gameplay. What experiences have you had? Let us know in the comments!

In recent weeks, the community of Path of Exile 2 has discussed changes to the endgame. Now the developers are explaining how the game is truly set to change.
However, the endgame remained largely unchanged compared to other parts of the game. This is a sore point for players, especially veterans who spend many hundreds of hours in the endgame with the same contents.

Everything is different, and quickly
What have the developers presented? In their new video on YouTube and the accompanying blog post on PathofExile.com, the developers announced that they will implement significant changes to the endgame in the midseason patch 0.3.1.
They are changing the towers in the endgame. While these still have a boss and provide visibility of surrounding parts of the map, they will no longer be needed to apply bonuses to surrounding maps. Instead, players can now equip each map with bonuses themselves to enhance them.
The developers also want to change the maps themselves. They have reduced the 15 largest maps so that players do not have to take so long to complete them.
Additionally, each map is supposed to receive a boss through the update, instead of just elite enemies. There will still be maps with boss symbols, which will then offer a more challenging boss encounter. To complete the maps, it will be sufficient to defeat the respective boss.
What other changes are yet to come? The mentioned changes are not the only ones for the midseason patch, and more will be announced. So far, the developers have revealed that they also want to increase the spawn rate of the citadels by 66%.
Additionally, starting with the update, Alchemy Orbs can also be used on magic items, turning the respective item into a rare counterpart that will have new, random mods.
In our “Shame Ranking,” 4Story: The Original has taken a dishonorable first place as the worst new MMORPG of 2025. Now, it may have to pay the price for that.
What’s up with the game? On September 18, 2025, the developers announced on facebook.com that there are issues with the product page and payment options for 4Story: The Original on Steam in several countries.
They are working on a quick solution and plan to release the update scheduled for September 24 as intended, the developers added.
Now it’s September 26, 2025, and on Steam, it still says: “This product is currently not available in your country.” There has been no further update from the developers regarding this. At least: Those who have already added 4Story: The Original to their library should still have access to the MMORPG (Source: mmorpg.org.pl).
The MeinMMO community has chosen the best MMORPGs of all time:

What do I need to know about 4Story: The Original? The original 4Story from 2008 built a loyal fan base with its Free2Play model, the faction conflict featured in various PvP content, its mission maps, and the PvEvP battles against dragons, which saw the game voted 7th place among the best MMORPGs of all time last year.
4Story: The Original promises a modernized and improved version of the classic 17 years later but quickly reveals itself to be a cheap attempt to squeeze a bit more money from the brand with minimal effort.
Only 35 percent of the previous reviews are positive (Source: steamdb.info). Even before the current problems, there weren’t even 300 Steam users online simultaneously during prime time. Many genre fans who gave it a try complain about the aggressive shop, Pay2Win mechanics, the high number of bugs, lack of anti-cheat, and poor customer support.
MeinMMO editor Jasmin is eagerly waiting for a new installment of Animal Crossing. However, the team behind Genshin Impact has now introduced a new title, Petit Planet, which significantly shakes up the title of their “Most Wanted”.
I am a gigantic fan of Animal Crossing. It might even be my all-time favorite series. There are several reasons for this:
I am a big fan of cozy games, and Animal Crossing combines many elements that I enjoy, including decorating my own house and nurturing friendships with small gifts.
There is so much to do, as the game is designed for daily play. You can catch bugs, shop for clothes, and visit dubious vendors.
I have a strong emotional connection to the series since I often played Animal Crossing Wild World with my brothers during my childhood. With Animal Crossing: New Horizons, I was stuck in isolation during the lockdown because of Covid-19. The game helped me out of that loneliness.
That’s why a new Animal Crossing is actually at the top of my most wanted games. I’ve spent more time with this series than any other, by far. Therefore, I believe that a new installment could entertain me just as long.
However, HoYoverse, the team behind Genshin Impact, has now introduced a new title. And it could be that my wish list has shifted a bit… could…
Start video
Petit Planet: Das neue Spiel von HoYoverse sieht aus wie Animal Crossing im Weltall
Petit Planet lets you design your own planet
In Petit Planet, you find yourself in space. You live on a small planet that you can fully decorate. Besides the land and coastline, even the sky can be freely designed. Other activities are similar to those in Animal Crossing: you can fish, catch bugs, or (like in New Horizons) grow food such as turnips, pumpkins, or tomatoes.
Additionally, players can interact with other inhabitants, who unfortunately appear to be designed with significantly more charm than those in Animal Crossing.
What bothers me in Animal Crossing is the fixed personalities of the residents. There are predefined personality types like “Snooty” or “Lazy”. And once you meet a resident of that type, you already know all the other neighbors who belong to that category. A bit more individuality would have been nice here.
As can be seen from the trailer, the inhabitants in Petit Planet have been designed with a bit more attention to detail. This could certainly be misleading, so we’ll have to wait and see how they interact with the player.
What I also find unfortunate about Animal Crossing: You are trapped on your own island. While there is now the option to explore other islands by plane, the world in between is not visible to the player.
In Petit Planet, according to the trailer, you can also explore outer space. There should be “beautiful encounters and surprises,” as HoYoverse states. Whether the exploration is worthwhile remains to be seen. However, the space theme is so beautifully chosen that my anticipation is already immense.
One downside is this: Since the game is from HoYoverse, it will likely be a free-to-play title with gacha elements. You might have to acquire furniture or other residents through random pulls that require real money investment. One user under the official YouTube video aptly stated: “I can’t wait to get the 5-star toilet.”
This could lead some players to spend more money than planned. Players who are prone to gambling addiction should therefore steer clear of the title if it does indeed include these mechanics again.
Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in a dystopian future where only a few people can lead a good and fulfilling life. This was also experienced by a player, even though he just wanted to do something selfless.
What did the player experience? A player had to witness that the “City of Dreams” in Cyberpunk 2077 promises more than it can actually deliver. At the end of the “Phantom Liberty” DLC, the player – without giving too much away – receives a medal from the NUSA (New United States of America), which symbolically represents V’s journey during the story of the DLC.
This medal is worth many Eurodollars, but in the player’s case (on YouTube Broken Player), it means nothing to V. When she encounters someone in need, she decides to pass on the medal to someone who needs it more urgently. A truly selfless and empathetic gesture, which is really touching due to the use of emotional music. Unfortunately, the end of the clip proves exactly what another user can best summarize in the comments: “Cyberpunk does not allow happy endings” (@raavhollywood via YouTube).
Here you can see the trailer for the aforementioned “City of Dreams” from Cyberpunk 2077:
Start video

“He was so moved by this gesture that he kept it for the rest of his life, how beautiful”
What does the clip show? After V hands the medal to the needy ex-soldier, he thanks her, visibly moved and hardly comprehending that someone would give him such a life-changing piece. With a first, hesitant smile, he seems to realize how lucky he is to have been in the right place at the right time.
He gratefully walks away and leaves the street corner with the medal, crosses a street – and is promptly hit by a truck and crushed against another vehicle.

How does the community react to the clip? The player and poster of the clip, Broken Player, has already spent 600 hours in the game and did not know that such a thing was possible. The biggest irony here is that it is difficult to determine whether it is a bug, an unfortunate timing, or a scripted moment because it perfectly reflects the merciless universe of Cyberpunk 2077.
Other players feel the same way, as can be inferred from the comments under the clip on YouTube:
“Remember: No happy endings,” reminds @FunKle_Duck, and @ManuelPerez-fp6sx writes: “What? Did someone almost have a happy ending? In Night City? Not with me!”
In Night City, one should always be on guard if one does not want to end up as collateral damage from a shootout or, as in the case of the ex-soldier, regular traffic. But no matter how careful one is, in Cyberpunk 2077, there are treacherous enemies that one might not be able to identify at first glance – and they have particularly nasty ways to lure their victims: Player finds a new enemy in Cyberpunk 2077 after 300 hours who is far more deadly than he looks

The developers of Dune: Awakening want to talk about server merges, but the players have a clear warning for them.
What are the server merges about? After the strong start of Dune: Awakening, player numbers have since dropped significantly. Even the free weekend and the new expansion “Chapter 2” could only slow down the player decline slightly.
The player decline also has direct effects on the remaining players. They have been complaining for weeks about empty servers where hardly any players can be found except for themselves.
The developers have recognized the problem and have been preparing for server merges for some time. They now announced on Discord that they want to talk about them in the next livestream. However, even before the livestream was properly announced, the fans already had a clear warning for the developers.
Here you can watch the trailer for the “Chapter 2” expansion of Dune: Awakening:
Start video
1,000 hours of love-hate: Why angry fans are the biggest hope for Dune: Awakening
It’s all about the bases
What does the warning say? The players of Dune: Awakening are attached to their bases. This is shown by a new Reddit post warning the developers to find a way to preserve the players’ bases just as they are during the server merges.
This does not only refer to the mere copying of the base or the items, but also to the location where it was built. Many players have built very creative bases around natural rock formations that would not function without the nature.
For example, Reddit user Super-Yesterday9727 writes: “I put so much effort into my cool base; I would probably quit if it got destroyed.”
RobbLCayman, on the other hand, says on Reddit: “My base isn’t even that cool, but because of the storage full of items and the storage arrangements, I would never rebuild and reorganize everything, even if all materials and content were summarized in rewards or some kind of bank.”
Therefore, the players clearly state: server merges only if the bases are preserved. However, this poses a big problem for the developers.
What is the problem? Currently, there are more than a dozen game servers just for the European continent. Each server also has 25 worlds where there are bases that lie on rock formations or other locations. In total, there are thus thousands of individual bases that can interfere with each other.
Hence, the developers cannot simply merge 2 game servers into a new one without finding a solution for the bases, which cannot simply be moved or placed elsewhere. A major challenge for which the developers have not yet provided a solution.
That the players are attached to their bases is not unusual, as they regularly pay taxes for their buildings. The power must also always be kept running. If players were to lose their base during a merge, it would likely be the end for them in Dune: Awakening.
Therefore, some players also suggest simply merging the individual sietches and thus the deep deserts. While this would not change anything in the Haggah Basin, players would meet more new people in the endgame again. After all, vehicles can soon be saved: New update of Dune: Awakening saves all your vehicles, but you only have 3 days

The three German Twitch streamers Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler, Wieland “Rumathra” Welte, and Domenic “Chefstrobel” Strobel have come together to create a challenging Pokémon challenge. However, the Trio Soul Link Challenge is quite demanding, and they decided on a LAN party for 3 days.
What is this Pokémon challenge? In June 2025, the Twitch streamers Trymacs, Chefstrobel, and Rumathra began their Trio Soul Link Challenge in the game Pokémon Black/White 2. The following main rules apply to this self-imposed challenge:
On each route, only the first Pokémon encountered can be caught and added to the team.
Fainted Pokémon are considered dead and may not be used again.
The Pokémon of the three are connected. For example, if a Pokémon of Trymacs dies, the connected Pokémon of Rumathra and Chefstrobel also die.
Items such as potions may only be used in battle if the opposing trainer has previously used an item. No items may be used in battles against wild Pokémon.
If one loses all 6 Pokémon in battle and thus faints in the game, the challenge must be restarted.
The goal is to obtain all eight badges and then defeat the Elite Four plus the Champion.
From June to September, Trymacs, Chefstrobel, and Rumathra played a total of over 95 hours of Pokémon Black/White 2 (Source: SullyGnome). Time and again, the Twitch streamers failed the challenge and decided to take a break from the game in August 2025.

Twitch streamers start LAN party: To finally succeed in the challenge, the three Twitch streamers decided to host a LAN party. From Monday, September 22, to September 24, 2025, they played from morning until night. In total, the stream lasted 60 hours, with an average of 10,028 viewers (Source: SullyGnome).
For the 3 days, Trymacs, Chefstrobel, and Rumathra also prepared with costumes. Initially, Trymacs was seen in an Ash costume, which he regularly complained about due to its poor quality. Later, he donned a Squirtle costume, as you can see in the following clip on YouTube:

How did the challenge end? Unfortunately, even the major effort didn’t help, as the three Twitch streamers could not succeed in the Pokémon challenge. Two attempts were made during the stream. The second attempt was very promising, as legendary Pokémon were frequently present in the teams of the three.
Eventually, Trymacs, Chefstrobel, and Rumathra were able to obtain all eight badges and set out for Victory Road to challenge the Elite Four and then the Champion. However, they failed against the first trainer on Victory Road.
All three Twitch streamers faced strong Pokémon, to which their not-so-strong teams had little to counter. Group discussions were of no avail, and Rumathra’s entire team went down, thus ending the attempt.
Defeated, the Twitch streamers acknowledged their failure. Chefstrobel had some final words: “It was incredibly fun, chat. It was funny, it was frustrating. At the end of the day, it’s a game. We will manage this someday.” (Source: twitch.tv from minute 21:29:00).
Most know Space Marines as the poster boys of Warhammer 40,000. However, there is more to these genetically engineered super-soldiers than you might think, as they have a long development history – with varying levels of strength.
[toc]
Space Marines are human-bred super-soldiers with additional organs, enhanced reflexes, and superhuman strength. They wear armor and wield weapons that are far too heavy for normal humans, live for hundreds of years, and exist for battle.
The first Space Marines were created by the Emperor himself with the goal of uniting the galaxy – or at least the Imperium of Man. Only men can become Space Marines, though this ultimately doesn’t matter: The body is altered so drastically that gender no longer plays a role. Space Marines cannot reproduce.
Although every Space Marine undergoes the same process to become a Space Marine, there are significant differences among them. It’s not just about which chapter they belong to, whether they are loyal or serve Chaos, or whether they are deployed as Apothecaries, Scouts, or Assault Terminators.
Since their creation, and technically even before, there have been various types of Space Marines, some with significant differences in their strength. MeinMMO ranks all versions of the super-soldiers in the power ranking.

5. Thunder Warriors, the proto-Space Marines
Even before there were Space Marines, the Emperor created an earlier variant of super-soldiers: Thunder Warriors, or Thunder Warriors. Compared to Space Marines, Thunder Warriors were even bulkier.
They had thicker bones, faster reflexes, and were sometimes even stronger than today’s Space Marines. Against the influences of Chaos, they were believed to be better equipped as well. There are reports that Thunder Warriors can easily defeat Space Marines in battle.
However, Thunder Warriors had a significant weakness: They were genetically and psychologically highly unstable – to the extent that some perished due to their mutations. They were excellent for raw violence and as brutal warriors, but not as soldiers. They lacked discipline.
As pure fighters, they may surpass Space Marines, but in the ranking of the best and strongest soldiers, they score lower because they cannot operate as a unit for long or follow orders. A few last, scattered, and loyal Thunder Warriors are said to still exist, but most were personally purged by an edict of the Emperor.

Experts demand a cheap car from Tesla. However, the affordable model is expected to fall surprisingly short. To offer the vehicle at a low price, the manufacturer is likely to forgo many details and comfort features. Critics say: Tesla could have introduced a new model instead.
Meanwhile, the indications are increasing that there will soon be an affordable model, but Tesla CEO Elon Musk has already stated that there won’t be a proper, new model: Instead, there will be a variant of the Model Y.
However, initial reports now show that the stripped-down model could be even worse than expected.

Is the stripped-down version of the Model Y even still a Model Y?
Where does the information come from?GreenTheOnly on X.com is known as a hacker and expert in the Tesla universe and is known for uncovering hidden features in the company’s apps and software. This includes specifications of new vehicles. This has been reported by Carscoops.com.
What exactly will the “new” model look like? Many probably realized beforehand, after Musk’s statement, that there would likely be a stripped-down version of the Model Y. However, the new reports are even worse than some had expected.
The Model Y is set to forgo the well-known panoramic glass roof. Instead, it is expected to feature a simplified fiberglass roof covering.
The lighting system in the vehicle, which was first introduced with the Y, will also be omitted.
The electrically folding mirrors will be removed, as will the door handle lighting and a touchscreen in the second row.
To further reduce costs, Tesla seems to be using cheaper chassis components, simplified seat controls, and a basic set of 18-inch wheels.
The rearview camera heating is also expected to disappear.
The central “Airwave” system, a ventilation system in the Tesla, is also set to be omitted.
Two stripped-down audio system options will also be offered, which is expected to represent a significant step back from the current Y model.
Critics are already saying that there won’t be anything left of the real Model Y this way, and they could have offered their own model instead. This is reported by the English-language magazine Insideevs.com.
What is the current price for the Model Y? The Tesla Model Y is available in Germany starting at a list price of €44,990 for the base model. The new variant is expected to be priced around just above or below $35,000. In Germany, that would be around €30,000.
How does the competition look? However, other manufacturers continue to offer significantly cheaper models: The Dacia Spring costs around €16,900 for the base version. The Renault Twingo Electric starts at around €20,000, which is also significantly lower than Tesla.

Additionally, all mega forms of the 3 starters from Generation 3 appear in mega raids in October. Both Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, and Mega Swampert are strong attackers that can significantly strengthen your team.
The raid hour on October 1 also brings you Dialga in its Origin form. If you catch it here, it may also have the adventure effect Temporal Howl with some luck.
For many trainers, the battle aspect in Pokémon GO is at the forefront. The hunt for ever stronger monsters is a strong motivation that keeps trainers in the game. However, the collecting aspect is also quite interesting for many trainers. Some trainers even complete collections that take a lot of time: A trainer completes one of the hardest collections in Pokémon GO that many players can only dream of.

The creators of 7 vs. Wild faced their biggest critics and answered a variety of questions. They also disclosed why nothing came from the fans’ biggest wish.
What was the event like? The producers from Calivision, who acquired the series 7 vs. Wild after season 2, participated in an Ask-Me-Anything on Reddit. As the name suggests, this is the opportunity for fans to ask various questions that the responsible parties will answer.
The viewers submitted questions over several days, which were answered on the evening of September 24 for two hours.

The truth behind the group exemption
What did the fans ask? The fans had many different questions about 7 vs. Wild, but the most common one was why the production company chose to do another season with group exemption. Many fans had filled out the production company’s survey after season 4 indicating that they did not want to see groups anymore.
However, the producers explained the decision based on safety considerations. The Amazon as the filming location for the season is so dangerous that no one can be left alone. The trailer has already shown how many animals live there.
Thank you for your question about group exemption, which we often find here. Conducting a season in such a dangerous place is only possible as a group for safety reasons. The clear wish of the community to conduct S5 in the Amazon was thus only possible in this way. […]
For production reasons, there will always be a safety concept and a rescue team in the background (which is probably the case with Alone as well). Our goal is, whether isolation or group exemption, that the participants feel authentically left to their own devices in the wilderness.
What else did the creators reveal? The creators of 7 vs. Wild revealed much more. They responded to a user’s question, stating that they had indeed anticipated the very negative comments from viewers.
At the same time, they want to continue the project in the way that the original founders Fritz Meinecke, Maximilian Kovacs, and Johannes Hovekamp are used to. The changes in this season are mainly due to the filming location and may accordingly be different in the next season.
In Europe and America, a dry spell might be approaching for WoW fans. Because WoW Classic is first focusing on China.
For several years now, alongside the “regular” World of Warcraft, which is the current retail version with The War Within, there are also several Classic variants. In addition to hardcore realms, The Burning Crusade, and now also Mists of Pandaria, there was also the “Season of Discovery”. The latter was the first attempt by Blizzard to try a kind of “Classic+”. Now we know: There is more to come.
The bad news: At least for the foreseeable future, the developers are focusing on the Chinese realms.
The hardcore servers were a success of WoW Classic:

WoW Classic focuses on China for at least a year
What kind of realms are these in China? In China, the “Titan Reforged” realms will soon launch. This is a version of WoW Classic that does not exist anywhere else in the world. This variant includes the Classic games, The Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King. Here, it goes up to level 80, but with a special twist: All raids from all 3 games can be tackled at level 80 and provide good rewards.
Even better: Legendary items, like Thunderfury or Shadowmourne, are supposed to be permanently upgraded over the duration of the realms, allowing them to remain active permanently.
According to Game Director Ion Hazzikostas, these realms will be the main focus of the team for the coming year – alongside modern WoW and Mists of Pandaria Classic.
In other words: Blizzard wants to make a significant effort with the “Titan Reforged” realms in China.
Why is Blizzard placing a major focus on China? Netease and Blizzard had a falling out a few years ago. After an uncomfortable conference that led to no agreement, employees even went so far as to destroy a giant statue. The lines were hard, and Blizzard was hated.
In recent months, Blizzard and Netease have begun to reconcile and bring WoW back to China. To make up for lost time – after all, China missed so many events and releases – there are now these special realms called Titan Reforged.
What else was said? It is also clear that Blizzard is already working on new experiences behind the scenes that do not only concern the “Titanforged” realms in China. Because from a post by Netease, it is revealed that there are further “Classic content” that is “currently in development”. Moreover, this content will be released simultaneously “in China and in the West”.
MeinMMO author Max Handwerk is currently playing Borderlands 4 only in split-screen. What is fun? And what is less enjoyable?
I am a typical console gamer, always have been. My brother and I started playing video games together on the PS2 after the Game Boy – always with two controllers. The idea of sitting together in front of a screen and gaming is my original understanding of video games.
This has changed in recent years, of course. On one hand, because you simply start playing more different games. But also because “2-person-on-one-console games” have become increasingly rare.
There are always exceptions, such as Split Fiction, Baldur’s Gate 3, or various Switch games. But also: Borderlands 4. This game series is one of the best for me when it comes to playing together on the screen.
So it’s logical that Borderlands 4 at my home has only been played in split-screen so far – this time in a duo with my wife. And what can I say? Borderlands 4 is just a blast in split-screen, even if there are a few issues.

What makes Borderlands 4 so good in split-screen?
Primarily, it’s the aspects that also ensure that solo players have fun with Borderlands 4. Those who enjoyed the Borderlands gameplay before will enjoy it in part 4 as well. And from my perspective, it’s actually a bit better.
Borderlands 4 is incredibly fast thanks to its improved movement, and it is diverse due to its variety of weapons and abilities. The main story captures me enough that I want to know what happens next, and there are a few laughs in the side stories.
And the best part about split-screen: You share everything together. You can laugh together when funny things happen, and you can empathize together when Claptrap concludes his past in a side mission – or helps a rocket to fulfill its destiny.
You don’t have to do everything together
What I really like is that you can explore the open world on your own despite split-screen. You can do your own thing here and there, and then meet up again to take on the next big mission or challenge one of the world bosses in their arenas.
We often have that “Look here, I found something cool” moment. Then you just teleport over to see what’s hidden there together. This is also useful when the backpack is full and you want to sell stuff. One person can teleport quickly to the vending machine and then just return to the other player.
Furthermore, some gameplay aspects are designed to be played together. We play Amon and Vex and can support each other with certain abilities – it’s just fun. It’s also nice to revive each other in battle and avoid resetting the entire fight. Tension rises when a boss takes one of us down (usually me) and threatens to take out the other vault hunter as well. Then it’s always “Hurry up” to quickly rejoin the fight.
It’s actually quite good that loot is now instanced, and everyone gets their own stuff. So there’s no need to argue about who gets to use the cool new gun.
Overall, I simply notice that we often have that “come on, let’s play another round quickly” feeling in the evenings. Whether it’s a small side mission to complete together, a larger story mission, or just one of the points in the open world that needs to be conquered: For us, BL4 in split-screen is a game that can be played spontaneously for half an hour, but also for an entire evening. And that’s something that far too few games manage these days.
Where are the problems in split-screen?
I want to limit this directly: In the Borderlands titles, I could write articles about how clunky the Borderlands split-screen is and that the fun is significantly diminished because of it. From my subjective perspective, that is actually not the case this time. So, first of all, kudos:
The menu is significantly clearer in Borderlands 4 than it was in Borderlands 3 or Wonderlands. Space is well utilized without losing too much information.
You can play split-screen vertically or horizontally right from the start. We prefer vertical, which was missing at the beginning of Borderlands 3.
For me, the performance is completely sufficient and does not diminish the enjoyment of the game. More on that shortly.
The problems are as follows:
Subtitles are only available for one side
The sound is bound to just one player. This is actually quite annoying. When Vex accepts a new quest or generally talks to NPCs, we only hear it if Amon is standing next to them.
Subtitles can only be displayed on one of the split screens. Also frustrating, especially considering problem number 1. This means: One can simply follow the stories worse.
Then of course the overview. But I guess you have to let that go since it’s only half a screen.
And then: the performance. We have significantly lower FPS compared to solo mode. This bothers less on the small split screen than on the full width, but it is still noticeable.
At first, this still bothered me, but you get used to it quickly. I read a tip online that suggested setting the session to “local” to achieve more stable performance. I’m not a hundred percent sure if it helped, but “it feels like” the game is indeed more stable since then.
These are the kinds of things I would be happy to see improvement on in upcoming updates. But overall, Borderlands 4 is a game that is just brutally fun in split-screen. So much so that I have put off playing it solo in a serious way so far.
Of course, you don’t have to play Borderlands 4 together on one screen. You can also play online! What is your experience with the Borderlands multiplayer? Tell us in the comments!
