In an interview, the head of Battlefield 6 spoke about her motivation for the new shooter. She explains that a good Battlefield 6 is a duty for her after the predecessor stumbled so badly.
Who is it about? Rebecka Coutaz is Vice President and General Manager at EA DICE. So she is the one responsible for ensuring everything runs smoothly for Battlefield 6. In an interview with Gamesradar+, she talked about the new shooter and her motivation.
There she also explains what can be learned from the mistakes of Battlefield 2042 and what will be implemented in the new installment.

Time for Redemption
What does the head think about Battlefield 2042? In the conversation, she explained that her motivation for a good Battlefield 6 also stems from the struggling predecessor Battlefield 2042. The shooter was equipped with many ideas and concepts that players did not like, and they were only improved through many patches from the developers.
Even if over 10,000 players can still be found in Battlefield 2042 on Steam at peak times every day, the title is not considered a success (via SteamDB). Coutaz’s colleague, Design Director Shashank Uchil, explains in the interview that they like to try out ideas and some of them don’t work. One of them was the larger 128-player battles.
In theory, these sound like an action-packed fun filled with explosions, vehicles, and combined-arms tactics. However, in the game, the modes were marked by yawning emptiness and entire areas without enemies. From such mistakes of the predecessor, however, the developers want to learn and create a better Battlefield 6.
What does she think about Battlefield 6? At the latest, the beta of Battlefield 6 has shown: The new installment is popular. But this is not least because the head sees it as her duty to produce a good title. She says in the interview:
[I] felt obligated to develop one of the best Battlefields the world has ever seen. I owe this to the community and the teams. That is my motivation. That’s why I am here.
Despite the positive feedback from the beta, the head emphasizes that they are not yet at the goal and explains this likely with the Swedish proverb for “You shouldn’t praise the day before the evening”:
In Swedish we say: ‘Don’t say hello before you have jumped over the river.’ And I can tell you there is no champagne here yet. We enjoy the moment. We are not yet at the goal. We must not allow ourselves to be arrogant. We remain humble, focused, and grounded.
As if the most successful animated film on Netflix hasn’t already generated enough attention, Kpop Demon Hunters sets yet another record – and by a wide margin.
What has the film achieved? The 91-day viewing period for all audiences of Kpop Demon Hunters, which Netflix conducts for all its projects, is now over. According to What’s on Netflix, the film has been watched a total of 325.1 million times during this period since its release – that’s over 500 million hours of streaming.
This establishes Kpop Demon Hunters as a new record holder on Netflix, previously held by another extremely popular Netflix project, whose 265.2 million views have now been surpassed. Thus, the animated film featuring the fighting Kpop idols has been streamed over 60 million times more than Netflix’s most successful series season ever: the first season of Squid Game.
Here you can see the trailer for Kpop Demon Hunters on Netflix:

The Huntrix Break Records Upon Records
What has the film already achieved? Kpop Demon Hunters has not only made a splash with music genre fans but has also captivated the mainstream completely. After its release, the film not only landed in the top 10 on Netflix but went straight to number 1 and managed to become the most-watched film of all time on the streaming platform before the end of the viewer count collection period – with the film being less than 2 months old.
What makes the record even more impressive? Squid Game, especially the first season of the series, had an unusually large audience, not only in South Korea but also in the West. Compared to the second season, it was streamed about 70 million times more.
The figures were considered almost unbeatable until Kpop Demon Hunter swept them away. However, it must be mentioned that the film managed to surpass the series even before the end of the 91-day period. By June 20, the streaming count was already over 300 million. Now the new record to beat is established. What project can top it remains to be seen.
Kpop Demon Hunters is officially not only the most successful animated film on the site but also the most successful film overall that you can watch on Netflix. If you want to know what other projects are in the top 10 of the most-watched films of all time on Netflix, you can find that in this list on MeinMMO: The 10 most-watched films of all time on Netflix ranked – number 1 is only 2 months old

Hades II celebrates its release. We’ve already spent several dozen hours diving in and we’ll tell you what makes the game so great.
The gaming year 2025 has already brought us an unexpected number of hits, but at least one hot candidate for “Game of the Year” is still outstanding: Hades II. The predecessor is counted among the few games on Steam that have ascended to the “God Tier” and accordingly, the expectations for the sequel were high.
After a long early access phase, Hades II is finally about to release. The developers provided us with the release version in advance, allowing Underworld demon Cortyn to lose himself in it for over 28 hours (over the course of 2 days, don’t ask). The current conclusion: Hades II improves everything while being just like part 1.
Start video
A popular roguelike on Steam finally leaves Early Access
What is the story about? The story of Hades II directly continues from the first part – but don’t worry, you don’t have to have played it. There are a few references to the first part and many characters appear again, but it’s not necessary for understanding the plot.
The short version: The underworld has fallen. Hades, the god of the underworld, has been captured or erased along with his family by the Titan Chronos. Hades’ daughter, Melinoë, was saved and has since been raised by Hekate, the goddess of magic, and her coven.
Now is the time to set out and descend from the witches’ refuge to defeat Chronos and restore order to the underworld.
Unlike in Hades I, you are not trying to escape the underworld – the opposite is true: You want to delve into the deepest depths to reach Hades’ throne and defeat Chronos before he can annihilate all the gods.
The blessings of Selene grant you an “Ultimate” – an extremely powerful spell.
The Gameplay – Familiar in a New Outfit
The gameplay can easily be described as “just like in Hades I” and those who are already familiar can skip this section.
Your descent mainly depends on two factors: Your chosen weapon (with modifications) and the blessings you receive on your way down. There are 6 weapons with 3 subcategories (aspects), so a total of 18 variants. From melee blades to ranged magic wands or even a slow but devastating axe, everything is there.
After Melinoë chooses a weapon in the refuge, your descent begins. Each level has enemies or a special event – and following the battle, a reward.
The various gods of Olympus send you messages that not only advance the story a bit but also grant Melinoë blessings:
Zeus enhances your attacks with strong lightning strikes or chain lightning that jumps between enemies.
Hermes increases your running speed or allows you to dodge more frequently.
Demeter grants you a frost aura that slows enemies and even reduces projectile speed.
Aphrodite weakens enemies nearby.
These are just a few examples. There are hundreds of potential bonuses with countless combinations.
The blessings of Aphrodite make nearby enemies weak – or reward you when you get too close to them.
As in the predecessor, the hook is to create the most devastating combination possible. Because each time, you have the choice of 3 different blessings, whose effects do not always mesh well together. This can turn your descent into a true torture or ensure that you plow through enemies like Dionysus through a bedroom full of willing wine lovers.
Mana and Magic – with a Hair in the Soup
I found the introduction of Mana as a new resource interesting. Because the particularly devastating attacks consume Mana, which you can regenerate in various ways.
Many blessings of the gods also have a Mana component. There are blessings that permanently block part of your mana reserve (thus reducing the maximum available), but grant other advantages – such as a few points of armor at each level or faster attack combos.
At the same time, there are also blessings that drastically increase your mana consumption, for example, to empower your charge attack with +300% strength – for the additional cost of many mana points.
The selection of weapons is more than solid – as there are many upgrades that adjust the style further.
As interesting as Mana is as a new resource, the use of the “magic ability” is one of the few but clear points of criticism I have about Hades II. Melinoë can place a spell circle on the ground. A quasi spontaneous one that costs no mana, and a longer casting time one that consumes mana:
The spontaneous circle holds enemies for a few seconds so you can keep them at bay.
The enhanced circle holds enemies and explodes at the end of its lifespan for very high damage.
While the circle is extremely useful, it’s precisely here that the blessings of the gods feel a bit uninspired. Each god can also enhance this spell circle with a blessing. And yes, each effect applies the corresponding debuff (such as frost from Demeter or lightning from Zeus), but ultimately they all do the same thing: Enemies trapped in the circle take automatic damage over time.
It’s a bit of a shame. Because this spell circle is the ability that Melinoë retains in every run, regardless of the weapon. It is basically her “signature ability”. It would have been nice if the effects of the god’s blessings would have a stronger impact here, rather than just being different colorings of “It ticks multiple damage”.
No Frustration, as Even Losers Get Story
What makes Hades II, similar to its predecessor, so incredibly good is its avoidance of frustration. Because – do not be alarmed! – you will die. And often. On your way to Chronos or the top of Olympus, you will encounter bosses that will ram you unceremoniously into the ground and beat you back to the refuge of the witches’ circle.
However, because you still take some resources with you even in defeat and can invest them in permanent upgrades (as is known in rogue-lites), the frustration is kept in check. Because for a very long time, you can buy small upgrades each time. You might start with 10 more health points, have a little gold in your pocket, or deal more damage when certain conditions are met.
The upgrade system is multifaceted and allows a lot of freedom without being overloaded or unnecessarily complex.
“Scylla & The Sirens” is a great band. It’s usually the last thing you hear.
This is also due (and especially) to the fact that you gain new story details even in defeat. Depending on which enemy defeats you, the characters in the refuge will react to you, tell anecdotes about your enemies, or give you tips on how to possibly overcome them next time. Some reactions even occur exclusively when you fail at specific points.
High Difficulty, More Power Gain
What I’ve noticed: Either I’m starting to rust slowly or the initial difficulty of Hades II is a bit higher than in its predecessor. Whether it’s the new “trash mobs” or the bosses, they all seem significantly tougher than in the predecessor.
While in Hades I, you could relatively well overwhelm bosses through pure “memorization”, in Hades II you noticeably need faster reactions and often have to dodge multiple effects simultaneously. Especially the level 2 boss, Scylla with her band of sirens (who, by the way, already composed a diss track after the first fight, which she sings during the subsequent encounters), was quite demanding at the beginning.

Later, there is also the option to enhance the bosses to get better loot – this is already known from Hades I. But it is clear to me that the bosses in Hades II are already significantly stronger in their base form than their counterparts from the predecessor. The abilities are more numerous, the reaction times shorter.
However, I have the impression that there are significantly more ways to enhance Melinoë than there were for Zagreus. The pure power gain from upgrades seems to be greater in the long term. Therefore, the increased difficulty might balance itself out a bit more later.
I managed to defeat the boss on my 21st night. But that is far from the end of the story; it is only the beginning. Because chaos reigns not only in the underworld, but also on Olympus, and they need your help …
If all of this sounds too harsh – don’t worry. There is again a “God Mode” if you get stuck. Then Melinoë will get stronger on her own until she overcomes her enemies. This is basically a drastic reduction of the difficulty level (i.e., an easy mode) for anyone primarily interested in the story and who doesn’t like the challenge. However, whether Hades II is the right game for someone is something I would dare to doubt.
Attention to Detail, Unmatched
I love details. Small quirks. I adore it when I want to try something out and then realize: The developer thought exactly about this situation and acknowledged it.
Hades II is full of them. Small details that contribute to the game world, bring it to life, and show how much love has gone into the development. A few examples:
If you take your house frog on the journey and encounter the spider Arachne, she panics in fear during the first encounter.
You can learn a spell that lets you resurrect the last defeated enemy and have them fight on your side. I wondered: “Does this also work in boss fights?” In the next battle against “Scylla & The Sirens”, I killed one of the sirens and tried it – and yes, it works. Suddenly you have a third of the devastating area spells on your side and can watch the rest of the boss melt away. Scylla will remember that you “caused a band feud” and “such scandals are not good for the fans”.
Dionysus. As expected, again with many revealed truths.
With Charon, the ferryman, you can buy upgrades. Sometimes, however, you are not the only customer and see, for example, “Nemesis” or “Heracles” checking out the inventory. If you don’t make quick decisions, they might buy an upgrade right before your eyes – or grumble if you do the same.
In the witches’ refuge, Artemis sometimes visits and sings a song. You can just join in and sing along. This has no gameplay utility but is simply a nice moment that cements the sisterhood of the witch circle.
These are just a few examples: Hades II is full of them. Whenever I thought, “Did the developers also consider when I take X with Y?”, the answer has so far been “Yes”.
In the end, it can be said that Hades II is mainly “more of the same”. More of all the things that the original Hades already did well. That is also – aside from the above-mentioned criticism of the spell – perhaps my only real point of critique. And even that is already a desperate search for a hair in the soup. Because often you think, “Ah, so this is just like in part 1”. But it’s just good.
Hades II is all that made Hades I a huge success – just much, much more of it. Anyone who has fond memories of the first part can confidently dive into the sequel. At least if you can live with sacrificing your social life, work, regular nutrition, and a healthy sleep cycle over the next few weeks. Because Hades II is a game that’s hard to set aside once you start it.
My expectations for the successor of one of the best games on Steam of all time were extremely high, and that is actually a dangerous thing. But Hades II meets those expectations, and anyone with even the slightest interest in roguelite games will not be able to pass it up. Hades II will launch as one of the biggest games of 2025. I’m sure of that.

The anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance has announced its release in the West, and we provide you with all the information about the launch.
When will Blue Protocol: Star Resonance launch? After a successful beta that ran from the end of August to early September, the developers of the anime MMORPG have announced their release. Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will launch on October 9, 2025, on Steam, Epic Games, and Mobile.
The game has previously been released in China and Japan. The two countries will not participate in the global release but have their own version. Therefore, they will not play on the global game servers.
You can watch the trailer for Blue Protocol: Star Resonance here:

8 Classes for Every Purpose
What classes are available? Unlike previous releases, all 8 classes are available right from the global launch. This includes 2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 melee DPS, and 2 ranged DPS:
Heavy Guardian – Tank
Shield Knight – Tank
Beat Performer / Soul Musician – Healer
Verdant Oracle – Healer
Stormblade – Melee DPS
Wind Knight – Melee DPS
Frost Mage – Ranged DPS
Marksman – Ranged DPS
MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier has already explored all classes in the beta and detailed their differences. You can learn more about the classes here:
Will Blue Protocol: Star Resonance also be on PS5?
The anime MMORPG Blue Protocol: Star Resonance will not be released for PS5. Players can only play the MMORPG via Steam, Epic Games, on iOS, and on Android.
In the beta version, there was also a dedicated launcher. It is possible that the developers will offer this as an alternative at launch.
How does the season system work?
In Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, there is a season system. Instead of expanding the MMORPG with large add-ons once a year, the developers focus on quarterly seasons. Each new season is expected to bring new content such as raids and dungeons.
A new season also offers the opportunity for returning players to rejoin and catch up with experienced players in terms of equipment and abilities. Additionally, each season features its own battle pass. It is not yet known how long the first season will last.
After the former Blue Protocol failed, Tencent secured the rights to the MMORPG. The new version, subtitled Star Resonance, emerged from the then-MMO. Virtually nothing remains from the original MMORPG. Blue Protocol: Star Resonance is now a classic theme park MMORPG for casual players.

“The trailer was intense”
What does the community say about the trailer? In the past, the community for the new season of 7 vs. Wild was rather reserved, if not even negative. That the founders, including Fritz Meinecke, are no longer involved and instead a production company took over the format was upsetting for some.
However, the reactions to the official trailer are mostly positive, as shown by these comments:
fischersfritze9042 writes on YouTube under the trailer: “Okay, the trailer was intense. Finally, a reason to be a little hyped!”
Movertigo says on Reddit: “This looks really good. I go in completely open and see if I like it. (…)”
“”
Other voices are neutral, such as ZeroX92 on YouTube: “I will definitely watch it, and after a few episodes, we will see whether it is exciting and whether I want to keep following it. One shouldn’t hate everything right away, because the last seasons weren’t so exciting under Fritz either. What one must not forget: We get to see all of this completely for free, which is really amazing for YouTube. No matter if Manhunt, The Race, or 7 vs. Wild.”
After Henry Cavill stepped down from the role of Witcher, many fans were also sad. However, fans of the actor do not have to say goodbye to the fantasy genre. He will take on the lead role in a reboot of a legendary movie and makes big promises.
Which movie is it about? It has long been known that the fantasy classic Highlander from 1986, starring Christopher Lambert, is getting a remake. MacLeod is the hero of this film, who, as an Immortal, journeys through multiple time periods and fights against other immortals. The people behind the remake have made their appearances:
Chad Stahelski will direct. The former stuntman is one of the minds behind the John Wick series.
Henry Cavill will take on the lead role as the Scottish fighter MacLeod.
Russell Crowe plays Ramirez.
Dave Bautista plays the villain Kurgan.
In 2024, Henry Cavill even suggested that he would fight more spectacularly in the film than in his role as Geralt in the Witcher series. He said about Highlander: If you think you’ve seen me work with a sword before, you haven’t seen anything yet (Source: The Hollywood Reporter).
Liam Hemsworth has taken over the role of Geralt for Season 4:

Even the villain of the new film promises great things
What does Dave Bautista say about the new Highlander remake? In an interview with Collider, Dave Bautista, who will play the villain Kurgan, recently spoke about the new Highlander film. He himself stated that he is a huge fan of the original and that he has wanted the role of Kurgan for a long time.
He loves the original performance by Clancy Brown and overall, Kurgan is a villain he loves to hate. I enjoy being the bad guy, and that was the kind of role I’ve been looking for in terms of a villain.
In his interview, he also addresses the action fans. The action is said to be on par with John Wick. In addition, he promises a grand universe:
We still pay tribute to the original and make a nod to it, but we are doing it anew, fresh, and exciting, and we are also just building a new universe. It’s simply bigger than the original. […] I don’t want to give anything away, but I believe people will be excited because it’s bigger than one can imagine, and it is new enough that you won’t see the same thing. If one has seen the original, one still won’t know what the story is.

Throughout the interview, he emphasizes that the remake should feel different from the original. He even calls it a high-speed version of Highlander. However, what exactly is meant by that is unclear.
How can we contextualize the statements of the actors? Interviews before a film’s release are always PR, and thus statements like simply so much bigger or new universe should always be taken with caution. After the first film in 1986, sequels emerged in the franchise. This included about 4 films, 3 series, and an anime film.
However, regarding the statements about action, also concerning sword fighting, one can be quite optimistic. In all John Wick installments, Chad Stahelski has shown that as a former stuntman, he knows how to direct action and can even drift into the absurd. This would fit well with a franchise like Highlander. It will be exciting to see how he focuses on sword fighting.
When will the Highlander remake be released? So far, there is no concrete release date. Moreover, filming has not yet started. In an interview, Chad Stahelski mentioned 2027 or 2028 (Source: Collider).

The ChatGPT agent uses its own browser, can navigate websites like a human, and bypasses CAPTCHAs through multi-turn manipulation.
However, what is particularly interesting is that ChatGPT was able to bypass even advanced, behavior-based systems like Cloudflare Turnstile by mimicking mouse movements and interaction patterns that are typically considered human. Cloudflare Turnstile is an alternative to CAPTCHA and is now one of the most frequently used methods alongside Google’s CAPTCHA.
What is the problem? Experts warn that AI models like ChatGPT could be misused on a large scale for spam, fake posts, or automated uses in the future. This makes existing security systems on the Internet less effective, and website operators will have to come up with new ideas to protect their content. At the same time, it also means that behind every post and new user, there could be a spambot.
Because the line between human, machine, and AI is increasingly blurred on the Internet. For some time, AI has been accused of amplifying spam and fraud, such as with image alterations or voice imitation to fake an abduction.
ARPGs are played by fans with a philosophy that few outsiders understand, as the community’s enthusiasm varies depending on content drops. Players explain this phenomenon through aspects in Diablo 4.
What phenomenon is being talked about? While other games are completed just 1-2 times and then gather dust in your library, ARPGs are constantly revisited by the same fans, at different intervals. Often, an update or a new season is to blame for this phenomenon.
For example, Diablo 4 with Season 10 introduces new mechanics like Chaos Uniques to the game, with which fans can receive effects of well-known Uniques on other types of gear – like the effects of a Unique pants that you can now wear on your head with the help of a helmet. This creates incentives to level up another character. To outsiders, it may sound absurd to keep playing “the same game” over and over, but many in the genre see it differently.
For them, there is nothing better than starting fresh in a season, with new challenges and approaches.

ARPGs will always be exciting
What do fans say about the genre? In a Reddit post by DiscountMiserable665, many fans clarify how they dive into a new season in Diablo 4 or Path of Exile 2, and it always follows the same pattern. The user Servovestri states regarding Diablo 4: “Play for a few weeks, take the journey, get the relic treasure, and then go PLAY OTHER GAMES.”
Only a few play an ARPG throughout the entire season, and if this is the case, Servovestri suggests taking a break, as those individuals often complain about the same things.
The user OsmanFetish mentions that he and his friend even skipped the previous season of Diablo 4 to avoid burning out, but Season 10 now offers many new features that make another playthrough worthwhile.
Airsoft_Daniel also shares and describes his return as follows: “D4 typically takes a few weeks of my time each season, making it my most played live-service game. If I play 3–4 weeks per season, plus 6 months right after launch and about two months right after the expansion, then in my opinion, that’s a really good amount of content.”
Even though everyone has gone through the story of Diablo 4 countless times, it is more about the grind and the journey of a new character that reignites the spark of the community.
Are you also an ARPG fan who is always there at the start of a new season and trying to level up a new hero? Feel free to describe your motivation for returning and exchange ideas with other fans. Season 10 has started in Diablo 4, and those who want to succeed in the endgame need a strong build. That’s why we’ve put together a tier list of the best builds for you: Diablo 4 Season 10: Tier List with the best builds

Fans of Warhammer 40,000 are served a new role-playing game where you take on the role of a member of the Inquisition. In search of heretics and the truth, however, you are more like an action hero.
Which game is being talked about? It is about Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, a new RPG from developer Owlcat Games. The studio has already developed role-playing games like the Pathfinder series and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader.
As part of the Inquisition, it is your job to uncover heresy. In Dark Heresy, you will therefore also be busy investigating crime scenes for clues and solving cases. Your approach, however, resembles more of “Arnold Schwarzenegger than Sherlock Holmes,” said Anatoly Shestov, executive producer of the game, in a conversation with PCGamesN.
In keeping with the dark universe of Warhammer 40,000, the developers also do not want to present you with decisions that are simply “Good” or “Evil.” Instead, you should decide what is a good or a bad decision in each situation.
Maybe killing these innocent people is good at this particular moment, maybe punishing this bad person is evil, because further down the line this evil guy will save millions that the innocents will corrupt.
Anatoly Shestov
When will the game come out? Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy currently has no release date yet. The RPG will be released for PC (Steam, Epic Games, and GOG) as well as for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
With the major update Solisium’s Awakening, the developers of Throne and Liberty have introduced a series of new features to the game. However, returning players are frustrated because they cannot utilize one of the new features.
What kind of update is this? The update Solisium’s Awakening is arguably the largest update for Throne and Liberty since the expansion Wilderness of Talandre. In addition to the long-awaited housing and lifeskill system, the MMORPG has also released new Tier-3 equipment.
Alongside the new Orb weapon, which adds new healing and support abilities to the game, the Hyperboost servers are by far the biggest incentive for players to return.
From Sunday, September 14, to Sunday, September 21, the player count doubled from 13,739 to 28,353 during peak times (via SteamDB).
The Hyperboost servers promise not only a quick achievement of the maximum level of 55 but also the ability to catch up quickly to veteran players and reach the same character power as they do. However, the system surrounding the servers is currently frustrating veterans.
Here you can see what the new housing looks like:
Start video
The new update of Throne and Liberty brings housing and a new weapon to Solisium
Hyperboost servers only for new characters
Why are players frustrated? While the Hyperboost effects are active on all servers, many players are longing for a fresh start in Throne and Liberty. However, as returning players, this is not so easily possible.
Players return to the game and often find their two characters created at release. Although these can be played further and brought to the current level on regular servers thanks to bonuses, joining a Hyperboost server is not possible with the already created characters.
Anyone who wants to join the new Hyperboost servers must create a new character and, in case of doubt, make space. Due to the limited character slots, many players have to delete a character accordingly. This takes an hour or may not be possible at all. Players report on Steam about bugs that prevent the deletion of old characters.
Why not just continue playing? Those who haven’t played Throne and Liberty for months will be met on the “old” servers by dominating alliances and guilds that claim all PvP content as usual. This is a problem in a PvP-oriented MMORPG like Throne and Liberty and not the experience returning players want.
That is precisely why they find a complete restart on the Hyperboost server – entirely without advantages for veterans. It would have been beneficial for returning players to increase the character slots from 2 to 3 so that one does not have to delete a character to participate. This would have solved many problems.
Twitch streamer Erik “Gronkh” Range was a guest on the podcast Henke’s Corner and explains why he sees himself as a bad influencer. He is not very active on other social platforms and rarely posts.
Why does Gronkh refer to himself like that? As a guest on the Henke’s Corner podcast, Twitch streamer Gronkh talked about his influencer life. He referred to himself as the “worst influencer in the world” (Source: YouTube from minute 32:38).
The activities of an influencer also include regularly posting on social platforms. However, Gronkh hardly does any social media, as he says. He posts almost nothing anymore on popular platforms like Instagram or X.
If he were to start regularly posting on Instagram again, Gronkh says he would change his “concept”. He would not just post the beautiful “glossy photos”, but rather everyday things in unpolished presentation.

“Everything gets worse”
Why would Gronkh prefer a forum? Gronkh further explains that he would prefer a forum. There, people would register who are really interested in a topic and want to discuss it. Forums were more “closed” and “private”, according to Gronkh, because the people interested in a topic were among themselves.
Regarding current social media, Gronkh also says: “I find social media so shitty. Everything has become so crappy. (…) Wherever there are algorithms involved, everything gets worse. Everything feels more fucked up.” (Source: YouTube from minute 33:07).
On Reddit, the Twitch streamer says he spends a lot of time. On X, Gronkh only looks at the posts and content of people he follows. These include indie developers or pixel artists, for example.
However, on the platform Twitch, his activity looks quite different. Streaming for “only” 4 hours straight would not be feasible for Gronkh. Instead, he prefers to stream for 7 to 8 hours.
In the latest episode of an American late-night show, the host showed his audience that he has stumbled upon German cultural heritage that absolutely thrilled him. And it is none other than our grumpy loaf of bread Bernd.
Where did Bernd make his appearance? In the American show “Last Week Tonight” with John Oliver, the audience was witness to one of the most famous German television stars.
Just before the episode was supposed to end for the night, John Oliver spoke about iconic characters for children that should already be familiar to the American audience. He then wants to introduce the audience to another character that is known to all German children: Bernd the Bread.
“He is incredible,” says Oliver after a clip (via X), showing a depressing New Year’s speech from Bernd, in which he says that one should give up all hope and rather dig a hole to sit in, “That is a loaf of bread that is missing two things: arms and any nonsense that would still matter to him.”
He adds that he would love to see Bernd in more American formats, such as 60 Minutes or Hot Ones, but to create a neutral ground, he wants to meet Bernd in a place where he is most commonly seen.
Select a MMO video…
“That is the most German thing I have ever seen”
How does the meeting between the host and the bread go? At the end of the episode, John Oliver enters the well-known white void where Bernd always resides during the night loop. While Oliver reveals himself to be a big fan and tries to initiate a conversation with Bernd, Bernd remains authentically uninterested, motionless, and annoyed. The host couldn’t particularly convince Bernd to join his late-night show, but then again, he doesn’t like comedy anyway.
However, he actually speaks, even if he doesn’t say much, very good English. It is not accent-free, but the original voice actor, that is the real Bernd, whom you also know from KiKA.
How do the Germans react to the broadcast? On social media, the clip with Bernd on American television quickly goes viral and subsequently reaches Germany, where the bread eventually comes from. The Germans celebrate the appearance just as much as Oliver’s audience did, even though they absolutely did not expect it.
“This wasn’t on my bingo card. This is fantastic,” writes dominikert on Instagram, and other German users also express their joy over this guest appearance:
Comments like “In a world full of bad news, we get John Oliver, with the unique Bernd the Bread at Last Week Tonight,” (keyjahn via Instagram) or “I have never been prouder of something from my country than today” (bellerophon2 via Instagram) reflect the reaction of the German community.

Bernd the Bread is already a few years old and has been able to entertain and disturb several generations of children and adults. By now, he has gone from the night loop of a children’s channel to a celebrated meme, quite different from another meme that you might have already forgotten, but we would be happy to remind you of: Ralf Schumacher becomes a meme and is already planning the next steps

GTA 6 is probably the most anticipated game currently available. However, not everyone can relate to the hype. Among those who cannot connect with Rockstar’s title is an actor who played an important role in part 5.
Which actor is it? Most gamers probably know Steven Ogg for one of his most famous roles as Trevor in GTA V. Fans of the series might recognize him as Simon from The Walking Dead, a character that Ogg portrayed from 2016 to 2018 over three seasons.
It may surprise many that Steven Ogg has no real understanding of GTA V because, according to his own statement, he hasn’t played it himself. He mentioned in an interview that he is not a gamer and even added, that GTA 6 has not interested him so far.

What does the actor say about GTA 6? When asked about the highly anticipated sequel to the fifth part, Ogg replied quite unemotionally: “I feel nothing.”
When the interviewer asked if the response was serious, Ogg continued: “I’m not a gamer. I’ve never played a video game.”
Not even GTA V, in which he himself appears as Trevor, has Ogg played. The actor shared that someone recommended he try Rockstar Games’ highly acclaimed epic. Ogg declined and countered with his own recommendation.

What does the actor recommend? Video games are not one of Steven Ogg’s passions, but books are. He emphasized how much he loves this medium and recommended “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
The book, which was previously known as “Sin and Punishment” in older translations, is a classic of Russian literature. The answer may come as a surprise, especially after discussing GTA, and so did it for the person who recommended Dostoevsky’s book to Ogg: “He was completely speechless.”
What does the community say? The actor’s statement receives mixed reactions from gamers on x.com. While some think Ogg is joking, others welcome the literature recommendation:
“This must be a joke,” writes Ignition Casino.
“Dostoevsky changes your life, I just became a fan,” admits ChiefStrategos.
“Many actors don’t play the games they are in; they treat them just like other acting jobs,” explains GameCentric regarding Ogg’s lack of interest in GTA.
“I mean, business is business. But avoiding an industry where you left such a huge mark is simply shocking,” states Hollywoodx95 regarding the vast reach the actor gained through GTA V.
A current event brings, as often, some wild monsters to Pokémon GO. And one of them can help you with an old special research.
New special researches come repeatedly at irregular intervals in Pokémon GO. In these, you have to complete various tasks to receive some special rewards as well as mystical Pokémon. However, accomplishing these tasks can take several years in the worst case.
Trainers on social media report how a current event is helping them with such a special research. And it is already more than 6 years old.

Normal Event with Great Help
Which event is it? Since Tuesday, September 23, 2025, the Total Normal event in Pokémon GO is active. It runs until Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 8:00 PM. Various Normal-type Pokémon are in focus.
Which special research does the event help? In August 2019, a special research titled ‘A Thousand-Year Sleep’ was unlocked in the game. At the end of this special research, the mysterious Pokémon Jirachi from Generation 3 awaits you.
In step 2 and 3 of this research, you need to catch 3 Whismur and take a snapshot of Loudred, the first evolutionary stage of the monster. Many trainers have been stuck on this step for years, struggling to catch Whismur.
That’s exactly what the current event can help with. Since the start of the event, Ditto can take on new forms, including Whismur. Additionally, Ditto appears more frequently in the wild during the event.
As trainers report on Reddit, not only is the chance of finding a Ditto in the wild increased, but also that of the Pokémon it can appear as.
More help with the special research: Another task of the special research is to evolve a Feebas. This step can also be accomplished more easily in Pokémon GO, especially if you have had problems with it before.
The Rocket Boss Sierra currently has a Feebas that you can catch after defeating her. If you use Pinap Berries during the catch, you’ll get candies faster that you need for the evolution.
In addition to the Total Normal event, you will find several other contents in the last days of September. Various events, raids, and other content await you. If you want an overview of this, feel free to check out our overview with all events in September 2025 in Pokémon GO.

The last trilogy of Star Wars is a controversial topic among fans. The actors also like to express their criticism regarding the problems of the sequels. One actor recently explained what he would have done differently in the films.
Which actor is being discussed? John Boyega is known not to be a big fan of how Disney and Star Wars handled his character Finn in the sequels (Episode 7–9). Already in 2020, he criticized that his character was heavily marketed, although he was actually sidelined (Source: Moviepilot).
At the end of August 2025, he spoke on the podcast Happy Sad Confused with host Josh Horowitz. During this, he explains (via YouTube) that he wanted his character to become a Jedi.
He frequently comments on Star Wars. In a panel at the recent Florida Supercon 2025, he spoke again about the sequel trilogy, even mentioning what he would have done differently.

No overpowered new characters and a video game as source material
What does John Boyega say about the things he would change? As The Popverse reports, John Boyega was asked by the audience at Florida Supercon 2025 what he would have changed if he were to remake the sequel trilogy. Boyega responds directly: You would have had a completely different thing.
In his response, he is quite honest and explains several aspects he would change. For one, he would approach Han Solo and Luke Skywalker differently. He states that he would first fulfill the story and legacy of the old characters. He talks about a good moment to handing on the baton..
He also talks about new characters. He would not make them overpowered, meaning too strong. Boyega emphasizes that they should not just grab stuff and know what to do with it. They should fight like the other characters in the franchise. This is reminiscent of Rey’s character, who is often criticized for being one of the most powerful Jedi of all time with very little training.
Lastly, he mentions sources he would draw from. For one, he would look at stories from the Old Republic to see how they fit into the continuity. The Old Republic was a past era in the Star Wars universe. The MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is set over 3000 years before Episode 1.
Would a new trilogy have been better? Boyega’s suggestions address many of the fans’ criticisms. New characters are too strong, the past is not treated respectfully, and stories that fans have wanted to be filmed for a long time are not used as guides.
The sequel trilogy has many problems, but Boyega’s suggestions only show what he would not have done. The example with Force Unleashed would likely please many fans, but it should be noted that Starkiller is also a character that could be described as overpowered.
So far, 2 new Star Wars films are in the works. The Mandalorian and Grogu is set to premiere on May 22, 2026, and a year later in May, a film titled Star Wars: Starfighter featuring Ryan Gosling is expected to be released.
The developers of Lord of the Rings Online have announced their new expansion “Kingdoms of Harad”. With it comes a wealth of new content for veterans and a promise for your characters.
What kind of expansion is this? The developers of Lord of the Rings Online have presented their new expansion at MMORPG.com and revealed what players can experience there.
The new expansion will take players to the eponymous kingdoms of Harad and will conclude the storyline “Song of Waves and Wind”. It also takes place directly after the last expansion “Legacy of Morgoth”.
Together with Gandalf, players will travel deeper into the land of Harad to establish the rule of the Good. The new area will include the region Mûr Ghala, which features four zones showing the scars of Sauron’s rule. In addition to the new zones, players can look forward to many quests.
Here you can watch the trailer for one of the latest expansions:
Start video
Lord of the Rings Online: Trailer for Morgoth’s Legacy Prepares You for the New Expansion
Over 400 new quests
What do the contents look like? Players can expect over 400 quests in the new expansion Kingdoms of Harad. These will lead the character up to the new maximum level of 160, which will be raised with the expansion.
Also new with the expansion is the voice acting for the “Song of Waves and Wind” main story, which according to the developers will be 95–100% voiced at the time of the expansion’s release.
The developers emphasize in their conversation with MMORPG.com that they want to intentionally tell a story with Gandalf, as the focus should not be on a “Gondor military campaign” but rather on how the simple inhabitants of Middle-earth are doing.
Is an end to level increases planned? The fact that they now want to raise the maximum level to 160 also raises the question of whether they might eventually want to implement a level downscaling like the genre veteran WoW. However, the creators of Lord of the Rings Online do not intend to do that.
They explain that they would be reluctant to carry out a level squish, as it would diminish the effort players have put into their characters. However, the developers do not completely rule out a level squish for the future; it just will not happen in the new expansion.
The new level expansion is also not expected to bring new abilities for the classes; everything will remain the same. A level scaling, where all enemies in the game would be adjusted to the player’s character level, is currently technically not possible.
