In Borderlands 4 it is about looting and building powerful builds with the existing classes. Although Amon has been rather underestimated so far, a new build shows its true power in melee combat.
The content creator Moxsy is also dealing with Borderlands 4 and has now shown a strong Amon build for melee that can deal absurd amounts of damage.

A build for all melee fans
What can this build do? At the center of the build are the perks Berserker and There is Only Red along with the Groundbreaker specialization after you have completed the campaign. With Berserk, Amon deals bonus cryo damage in combat for a certain time when he uses his forge skill.
With There is Only Red, Amon can increase the duration of Berserk if he kills an enemy during its duration. This provides additional bonus cryo damage.
As a finishing touch, the specialization Groundbreaker comes into play. You can only unlock it when you are in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode and have completed the campaign. With Groundbreaker, you save non-melee damage, and on your next melee hit, you consume this damage as kinetic bonus damage.
Interestingly, the bonus cryo damage from Berserk does not count as melee damage, which means that if you have enough enemies, you can stack it infinitely, causing the damage to rise immensely.
The content creator Moxsy was able to deal damage numbers in the billions with the build. However, he also explains that this is hardly achievable in normal gameplay. You can see what it looks like in his YouTube video:

How do you build the build? In his video, Moxsy also shows how to build his build. The focus is mainly on the red skill tree (Calamity). The skill trees are as follows:
Action Skill: Scourge (theoretically it doesn’t matter as long as you have a melee attack, but this would be the fastest option)
In the red tree (Calamity):
Impetus: 3 points
Discombobulate: 5 points
Titanium Knuckle: 5 points
Gut Punch: 1 point
The Best Defense: 2 points
Berserk: 5 points (ideally with class mod bonus)
There is Only Red: 3 points
Brimming Vigor: 2 points
My Touch is Death: 3 points
Into the Fray: 5 points
Switch to the blue tree (Vengeance):
Wrath of Nature: 2 points
The Thrill: 3 points
Cryonic Thrum (augmentation for the action skill)
Eternal: 5 points
Warrior’s Cup: 5 points
The weapons you have equipped do not matter for this build, since you will mainly focus on melee damage. However, you should take weapons that allow you to quickly revive yourself in case of death.
If you want to fight like a blunt barbarian in shooters, this melee build is a good choice. However, it is questionable whether this will be nerfed in the future if the perk interaction with the specialization is not intended.

On Twitch, a new indie game is making waves that just recently launched on Steam. In it, you will be transported to an apocalyptic world where your trust must be placed in the right people.
What kind of game is it? It is called No, I’m not a Human and is a horror game published by Critical Reflex. It was released on September 15, 2025, and is currently available for around €15 on Steam.
Even before the release, a demo was available in June 2025. Now the full version has quickly garnered significant attention and has also made it into our recommendations for the month of September.
Particularly on Twitch, many viewers are excited about the indie title. At peak times on September 16, just one day after release, according to twitchtracker.com, around 111,335 users were watching simultaneously. This was also the temporary peak, with the average viewer count currently at around 16,000 concurrent viewers.
The game seems to hit a nerve with the viewers. Horror games repeatedly experience a surge in popularity on Twitch, and No, I’m not a Human fascinates again with an exciting concept.
Start video
The trailer of No, I’m not a Human already causes discomfort before one dares to approach the game
At night you will get visitors …
What is the game about? No, I’m not a Human is set in an apocalyptic world. The sun has become extremely hot, making it impossible for people to leave their homes during the day. If they do, they will be burned and die.
This is why most people only leave their homes at night, where it is supposedly safe. As a player, you find yourself in your own house, where visitors regularly come and knock. Now it’s up to you to decide who gets let in. Trust plays an important role, as well as a good sense of who might pose a danger.
Those visitors who are let into the house share their stories, help or need help. But not all of them mean well, and sometimes hard decisions must be made, even if that means resorting to violence.
Slowly but surely, the players develop a sense of fear. Who means well, and who wants to harm me? Perhaps it is the aspect of uncertainty that currently fascinates many users on Twitch. It is also noticeable that significantly fewer people are actually playing the game.
According to steamdb.com, at peak times there were only 8,248 players in-game. However, those who have tried No, I’m not a Human seem to like it. The Steam ratings stand at 88% from 2,182 reviews, leading to a “very positive” rating.
Users praise the story and the unusual graphic style of the game. Decisions made have consequences, requiring players to carefully consider their actions. Uncertainty is always present, providing a thrilling experience.
Since 2023, fans of One Piece have been waiting for the new season of the Netflix adaptation. We still have to wait a bit, but a new teaser finally shows new material. For the first time, we also see an important character that seems almost forgotten in the manga and anime.
What kind of teaser is this? Netflix released a sneak peek for Season 2, showing behind-the-scenes material regarding various fights and other scenes. Different actors also explain in the video what fans can expect.
The actor portraying Luffy, Iñaki Godoy, makes it clear right at the beginning: The story of One Piece is getting bigger, and it is getting better. The crew is finally ready to sail to the Grand Line. Emily Rudd emphasizes that in Season 2, we will see how the crew relies on each other.
Aside from that, we see how various fight scenes are filmed, and we get a glimpse of Loguetown. After having already seen a first look at Chopper in a previous clip, we see for the first time in the new sneak peek Tashigi, a rival of Zorro, who was involved mainly at the beginning of the story.
Start video
A new sneak peek shows behind the scenes of One Piece season 2 and how some fight scenes were filmed
A rival of Zorro who is no longer really relevant in the anime and manga
Who is Tashigi? In the sneak peek, we see Tashigi for the first time, played by Julia Rehwald. We briefly see her in full gear as she comes out of a door that likely stands in a Marine base. We first meet her in the story of One Piece in Loguetown, where she serves as a sea cadet under Vice Admiral Smoker.
At first, she is an insecure swordswoman who constantly apologizes to her superior. In the manga and anime, she encounters Zorro in Loguetown after he has seen her fight. A rivalry develops between them because she wants his sword, the Wado Ichimonji. In her belief, no criminal should wield such a legendary sword.
The relationship between the two is initially highlighted because Tashigi looks like Zorro’s childhood friend Kushina.
How important is Tashigi to the story of One Piece? Initially, she appears more frequently as a side character and rival of Zorro, especially in the later Alabasta arc. After that, she falls quite heavily into the background.
After the timeskip, she plays a larger role in the manga and anime in the Punk Hazard arc, but currently, she does not seem to be really relevant in either the anime or manga. When looking at her abilities later in the story, she quickly fades as Zorro’s rival.
Tashigi from the new sneak peek of One Piece: Season 2
Fans are excited for the new series, but the waiting time annoys them
How does the community react to the new sneak peek? Among the comments on the YouTube video, there are many positive voices. Many users discover small details like Zorro’s attack Santoryū Onigiri that user @sedlyholmes3722 noticed. The anticipation seems to be high for many:
@lovelyzen223 is especially excited about the new character: Tashigi was shown? Bro, I am so excited.
@ericastones1052 praises that the cast fits perfectly: I love the actors, they really chose the right cast to portray these amazing characters.
@smitha5890 is especially looking forward to a certain relationship: Sanji’s and Zorro’s bromance is something I’ve been eagerly waiting for.
However, among the comments, there are also some users who are complaining about the long wait, especially considering how long the series still has to go if everything is really adapted.
Borderlands 4 offers something for every player type with its available classes. Whether you want to go in hard or with style – anything is possible, you just need to know which Vault Hunter to choose.
How is the list structured? We assign each of the four available classes to a player type and explain why they were categorized that way. Please note that each class is versatile thanks to its action skills, and thus can also change its player types.
We also mention, if applicable, alternative player types for each of the classes and show with which action skills you can bring them forth.
More posts for beginners and builds can be found here:
Which player type is served by Vex? With skills like Phantoms or Rabatzi, Vex takes the place a class with minions would occupy. You can summon copies of yourself or a large spectral big cat that can engage in combat for you and draw aggro from enemies.
Not quite a necromancer, but similar is her action skill around Incarnation. With it, you can siphon life from your enemies, weaken them, and inflict status effects. Additionally, effects can also be applied to allies that strengthen them. One might say it’s a hybrid of necro and support. Thus, Vex is more of a passive-aggressive class, depending on the action skill you choose.
Rafa: Ranged & Melee Fighter, Turrets (DD)
Which player type is served by Rafa? Rafa is a quick, gun-happy soldier and a one-man army. With his synthetic augmentations, Rafa has the capability to either conjure energy blades to engage in melee or bring out two turrets from his shoulders that automatically take down your enemies.
A disastrous laser is also on hand, which you can charge and fire safely from a distance. Overall, Rafa represents the classic shooter class for ranged combat, but is also useful in melee with his energy blades.
If you want to rely on a versatile soldier who brings a wide arsenal of weapons and gadgets and always provides excitement, you should choose Rafa.
Harlowe: Ranged Fighter, Gadgets (CC & Support)
Which player type is served by Harlowe? Harlowe is the master of crowd control and can effortlessly deal with large groups of enemies. She uses her various gadgets to pin down enemies or suck them into her massive CHROMA sphere and then explode them.
Harlowe is versatile due to her gadgets and can also deal significant damage to bosses. In melee, Harlowe falters, so it’s better to prefer ranged combat and only engage in melee when you have cleared the field.
In co-op, Harlowe is also a strong option, as she can equip allies with buffs that increase damage, fire rate, and reload speed.
Which player type is served by Amon? Amon lives up to his appearance, as the muscular warrior represents the tank of the Vault Hunters. His talents are versatile, ranging from effective ranged combat to bloody but brutal melee combat.
With his forge gadgets, Amon can conjure elemental axes, hammers, and swords out of thin air that he can throw at his enemies. These can destabilize opponents and can explode upon a kill. With one skill, your thrown weapons even become minions that act autonomously.
Besides that, there is also an action skill with a whip and a shield that allows you to take damage even better. Last but not least, there’s the fiery hammer with your flaming fists that mark you as a true melee fighter.
So if you want to dive headfirst into the fray without regard for losses, you should choose Amon.
These were all the details about the classes and which player types they fit. Were we able to assist you in your choice, or are you still deciding? Feel free to exchange ideas in the comments with active Vault Hunters. You can find more about Borderlands 4 here: Borderlands 4: Best Classes for Solo Players in the Tier List

The new “Deep of Night” update for Elden Ring Nightreign tests even hardcore players. MeinMMO video producer Lynn England has plunged into the darkness and reveals in a new video on the MeinMMO YouTube channel what to expect in this hardcore mode.
What do we want to show you? FromSoftware has released an update with the “Deep of Night” mode for Elden Ring: Nightreign that packs a punch. It was immediately clear to our video producer, a self-proclaimed hardcore gamer, that she had to take on this challenge. In a current video on our YouTube channel, she shares her first impressions after several hours in the new mode.

Although the mode may seem like a normal run at first glance, the drastically increased difficulty reveals itself right with the first enemies, who now take significantly more hits and can also deal more damage. This necessitates a slower, more strategic approach.
A new type of weapons also plays an important role in the “Deep of Night” mode. Enemies can now drop red weapons that are even more powerful than the legendary golden weapons, but always come with a catch – and you quickly feel that catch.
A special challenge is also created by the increasing uncertainty, as the final boss is hidden at higher levels and important symbols disappear from the map.
MeinMMO on YouTube
For several months now, we have been steadily expanding our MeinMMO YouTube channel and investing more time and heart into our videos. It’s all about online multiplayer games, gaming culture, and the associated communities. Feel free to stop by and subscribe to not miss any new videos!
What tips do we want to share with you?
In the YouTube video, Lynn reports on her own experiences in the game and what tips she could filter out for herself and for you:
Teamwork plays (still) an extremely important role, especially in the mode with the increased difficulty, as the mode is primarily designed for a cooperative experience. Accordingly, the choice of relics, navigation, and boss planning should be decided in consultation.
Lynn also believes that in the new mode, small camps should be rather ignored and the focus should be placed on minibosses to obtain the aforementioned better weapons. She also thinks it makes sense to prepare different weapons with a broad selection of fire, poison, holy, and lightning damage to be ready for all eventualities.
The “Deep of Night” mode is a real challenge for experienced players who know Limveld inside and out. Despite the high difficulty, it offers a new and exciting perspective on the game. In another video on our YouTube account, our MeinMMO video producer Anna talks about another game that is a bit cozier than Nightreign, but no less captivating: Competitive player ventures into a cute cozy MMO that captivates her for over 100 hours

A new offer in the World of Warcraft shop is dividing opinions. Some celebrate the mega package, while others are quite disappointed.
Every few weeks, there are new ways to spend money in the World of Warcraft shop. The most expensive offer so far was a mount from the auction house that was only available for a few weeks. But there are always new additions. Last night, the offer for the “Ascended Raiment Pack” went live.
Start video
WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
What’s included in the package? The sets visually strongly resemble Shadowlands, specifically the Kyrian faction – both the Ascended and their corrupted variant. Accordingly, the sets remind of the spirit healers in World of Warcraft and are likely to appeal to anyone with a penchant for bright blue and purple.
What makes the offer so special? The package for 30 euros is one of the largest transmog packages ever offered in the shop. It includes not only 4 complete sets (essentially 2 sets with 2 color variants each) but also 22 different weapon models, including a shield and an off-hand option. The total number of items amounts to over 100.

However, one should keep in mind that not all transmogs can be used by all classes. For example, if you want to use the two-handed sword from the package, your character must also be capable of wielding two-handed swords.
Extremely many weapons are part of the offer.
This is how the community reacts: As usual with new shop offers in World of Warcraft, the community is divided. On one hand, there is praise for how much is included in this package and how many new options for transmogs arise from the new weapons and set items, even if one does not wear the whole set. At the same time, it is criticized that these sets can primarily be obtained through real money, and there is no way to get them in-game through gameplay (other than buying WoW Tokens with gold).
Will you go for this offer? Or do you hope that comparable items will eventually end up in the trading post and that you can then “pick them up for free,” instead of paying a hefty sum now? Someone who also collects a lot of money is Brann Bronzebeard – that’s why he is retiring soon.

Baldur’s Gate 3 can be played solo, but also with up to three friends. One player wanted to experience the campaign of the game with a good friend, but this experience did not leave a good impression on him.
What does the player report? The player and Reddit user Small_Wedding_1456 writes on Reddit that he shared his first experiences in Baldur’s Gate 3 with a friend in co-op. His friend wanted to “have fun” by playing a truly chaotic evil character – which is why he chose the “Dark Urge”.
The player had nothing against an evil alignment, however, their definitions of “fun” turned out to be quite different from what he initially expected. His friend’s approach involved not only evil decisions, but especially the “chaotic” seemed to take precedence. Thus, the player had to realize that their playthrough developed into an absolute disaster.
Here you can see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:
Start video
Der animierte Kurzfilm zu Patch 8, dem letzten Update für Baldur’s Gate 3
“Does chaotic evil really look like this?”
What exactly ruined the experience? The player’s friend claimed, according to the author, that his behavior was part of role-playing and his chaotic evil alignment was to blame for it. He wandered alone in the Underdark to wipe out the Myconid Circle, killed more NPCs without motive or logical reason, and acted generally very suddenly and destructively.
This is of course perfectly fine in a solo playthrough, but the player reports that it really affected his own gaming experience.
Even his friend’s reasoning that he justifies all of this through the alignment of the Dark Urge makes the player ponder:
“Is this really chaotic evil? […] How can one portray an evil character in a way that remains true to the alignment but does not ruin the experience for other players?” (Small_Wedding_1456 on Reddit)
What does the community advise? The post received a lot of reactions from other players who took up the author’s problem.
The player Japoots points out that the Dark Urge is not the problem in the case of the two friends, but rather that his co-player is constantly running away to “do his own thing” (Reddit). So it is not about the alignment, but about player behavior in co-op.
The player FacetiousTomato explains to the author that this is also a problem in Dungeons & Dragons as a tabletop game: “The central premise of DnD is that you play together with the other players. If someone decides to play a murderous character, he should clarify this first with the other players” (Reddit).
He also adds that the statement “I am just playing my character’s role” is often used by many players as an excuse to justify this behavior. To this, he could respond with “Well, my character would not stay with someone who has done such things, so I guess we are done together”.
After the community’s reaction, the player added something to his original text. He now understands how important it is to set personal boundaries and communicate, which he definitely wants to do. He hopes that this will not affect their friendship, as they get along really well outside of the game, but their play styles are simply too different.
MeinMMO video producer Anna is actually at home in competitive titles like LoL or WoW. Out of boredom, she ventured into the cozy MMO Palia and was immediately captivated.
What game is it about? Palia is a cozy MMO that mixes multiplayer worlds with cozy single-player content. Instead of raid bosses, dungeons, and PvP, players here focus on building houses, tending their gardens, and fishing.
All of this content can also be found in many classic theme park MMORPGs, but in Palia, the focus is exactly on that. That you can create a good MMO with the nice little things of theme park MMORPGs is proven by the good reviews and player numbers on Steam. This also lured MeinMMO video producer Anna into the adventure.
Here you can see how Anna experienced the world:

The perfect game for min-maxing and wandering around
How did Anna experience it? MeinMMO video producer Anna usually plays games like World of Warcraft, League of Legends, or Call of Duty. In all of these games, the focus is very competitive and cozy content is not at the forefront.
Anna was even more curious whether she would enjoy Palia at all. But shortly after starting, she was thrilled. Instead of having to earn fun through skill, the competitive player suddenly became excited about expanding her house, decorations, and quests from the villagers.
Especially the countless tasks pulled her into the whirlwind. She explains:
You take on a quest, but on your way there, you suddenly see a bunch of other things that you can do ‘just quickly’. Mine a little ore, pick a plant, chat with a villager to get a new recipe for a piece of furniture. And since you’re already here, you might as well hunt that one Chapaa because you need meat for a dish.
Suddenly someone writes in the chat that a silver ore deposit has been sighted, and you sprint off to secure this rare resource. And bam, an hour has passed. Only then do you remember that you actually wanted to complete that one quest.
How is the game in the endgame? After Palia captivated MeinMMO video producer Anna for over 100 hours, she has now reached the endgame of the cozy MMO. She has completed the single-player campaign and now the MMO content has become more important.
For this, she found a community with which she regularly meets for so-called “Palia parties”. In the game, players get together to cook, hunt, and collect rare items. But even without a community, you often come across other players in the game.
If you want to learn more about what you can experience in Palia, feel free to check out our YouTube channel for more. You will also find other exciting videos about online games, communities, and gaming culture on our channel.
In the comics, movies and series from Marvel, there is a specific metal that has a significant impact on the world and grants power to certain beings. A new comic adds a spicy detail to the raw material that could forever change its usage in a universe.
What metal is it? That a metal plays an important role in a world full of superheroes and villains may surprise outsiders. But Vibranium, as the raw material is called, is extremely rare and very hard, while being significantly lighter than conventional steel. It is characterized by its ability to absorb energy.
This makes it an important metal. Especially Black Panther and his kingdom Wakanda benefited greatly from it. As fate would have it, a meteorite full of Vibranium struck in Central Africa – near the kingdom. This ultimately led to Wakanda becoming technologically so advanced. Black Panther’s suit, for example, is made of Vibranium, can deflect bullets, and thus grants the hero great strength.
Captain America also uses the metal: his famous shield is made from it. And the character Vision, who is part of the Avengers, has a body made of Vibranium. This allows him to withstand strong attacks without harm. He will soon get a new series on Disney+.
The metal is therefore quite powerful and has only fallen to the Earth from space in a few places. A new comic takes place in Universe-1610, the Ultimate timeline, and adds an exciting twist to the story.
What has changed? In the new comic book “Ultimate Black Panther #20,” Vibranium is mentioned again, but the story adds a new aspect to the raw material. As in other universes like the MCU movie cosmos or the original Earth-616, it is also here that a meteorite from outer space falls to the Earth at various points.
In this version as well, the inhabitants of Wakanda discover it, leading them to become a technologically advanced civilization. The big difference: The comic suggests that there are creators of the raw material somewhere in space, who have also infused their own essence into Vibranium.
What does this mean? By other races using the metal, the unknown alien race can gather important information about them. Ultimately, Vibranium can thus become a tool for future conquests. After all, knowledge is power, and if a hostile race knows how Vibranium is used in areas like security and defense, security gaps can easily be found.
It will be exciting to see how the characters from the comic ultimately react to this change, and whether Vibranium will continue to be used to such a large extent. Important questions about the safety of one’s people in the face of espionage and looming attacks come to the forefront.
“Ultimate Black Panther #20” is written by Bryan Edward Hill, with illustrations by Stefano Caselli. The volume will be released on September 17, 2025, and continues the Ultimate Black Panther series. Will you take a closer look at the comic? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Also exciting is a powerful antagonist from the Ultimate universe: One of Marvel’s smartest heroes will soon receive a new film; in another universe, he is a dangerous villain

Which nation is advisable? Right after logging into the web app with your data, you need to decide from which top nation most players of your first team should come. With England, you can never go wrong, especially this year.
It has now been confirmed that the first season will be called “England 66”. Therefore, it is likely that SBCs and tasks will demand English players. Hence, you should opt for England this year.
After your decision, you will receive a colorful mix of gold, silver, and bronze professionals from your chosen nation randomly assigned. All players are untradeable.
2. Tip: Choose the most expensive kits and crests for your club
Which crests and kits are expensive? The kits and crests that you can select at the start are tradeable and can be sold on the transfer market for coins.
Historically, kits and crests from the largest and most famous clubs are expensive and can even be sold for several thousand coins. This includes:
Premier League:
Manchester United
FC Arsenal
FC Liverpool
Bundesliga:
Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund
Eintracht Frankfurt
1. FC Köln
LaLiga:
Real Madrid
FC Barcelona
Süper Lig:
Galatasaray Istanbul
Fenerbahçe Istanbul
Besiktas Istanbul
National teams of the top nations
Also, pay attention to striking kits with a special appearance. You can also try to sell these on the transfer market.
Important Note: If you don’t have popular or special kits and crests to choose from, definitely select those that are gold and rare. After all, they will earn you a few hundred coins through instant sale, which you can use to start on the transfer market.
3. Tip: Monitor the market and start with small transfers
How to act on the transfer market? After creating your new club as a manager, you can now work as a scout on the transfer market. Many players try to get coins as quickly as possible. You can take advantage of this to snag one or the other bargain.
Before buying players, observe for a while how many coins professionals are being sold for on average. Players from top nations and/or leagues are particularly popular. Choose one player from your observations and try to buy them immediately below their market value or bid when the auction is about to expire.
The filters on the transfer market will help you. An example would be the following filter settings:
League: Premier League
Nation: France
Rarity: Gold
Instant Buy Price: max. 350 coins
Small tip: You can also try the same scouting and buying method for silver players. With the comeback of silver stars in FC 26, good silver players will also be in demand on the transfer market.
If you get the player, then immediately list the professional for a price just above their market value on the transfer market. It shouldn’t take long for the player to be bought.
An important indicator of whether a player will be bought or not is also their usefulness for SBCs.
4. Tip: Complete SBCs with untradeable players from your club
Why use untradeable players? Especially at the beginning, every coin counts. Instead of buying players on the transfer market, you should complete SBCs as much as possible with untradeable cards from your club that you will not need anyway.
If you do not have much experience with SBCs yet, you can also refer to the solutions on popular FUT service sites. These include:
Futbin
EasySBC
Futwiz
You do not have to replicate the teams from the solution suggestions exactly but can just check which nations, leagues, and ratings were used and compile similar player combinations from your club.
This way, you save coins and have the chance to pull cards from the rewards that you can either sell or use yourself.
For many players, the right gameplay of Borderlands 4 begins only after the story. For this, there is the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode), which is essential for the endgame. Everything you need to know about it can be found at MeinMMO.
Attention Spoilers: In the following section, there may be slight spoilers about recurring characters.
How do you unlock the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode? If you complete the story in Borderlands 4 with a character, you can unlock the difficult mode.
After the campaign, you will receive 3 missions that you need to complete, which will introduce you to various endgame mechanics. You must complete the following missions:
After that, you can take on the first Wildcard mission from Lilith. Once you complete it, you unlock rank 1 in the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode and can dive into the hard mode from the main menu.
How do you unlock the other ranks in the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode? Currently, there are 5 ranks that you can unlock, which will make the game increasingly challenging but also improve the rewards you can receive.
To unlock the other ranks, you need to take down various monsters in the world of Kairos at the current rank. Once you have defeated the monsters, you will receive another Wildcard mission from Lilith that unlocks the next rank.
For the 5th rank, you must complete 4 special Wildcard missions that will push you to your limits. You can switch between the different ranks at any time.
After the video, we explain what the mode is about.

Borderlands 4: Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode – Content and Features
What makes the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode so special? The main feature is that the enemies are significantly stronger than in the normal campaign. Health and damage are increased and scale with the rank you are currently playing. There are also more modifiers that enemies can have. But the rewards are also better:
You can also start directly with a new character at level 30 after the campaign, skip the campaign, and go into the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. However, keep in mind that while you will get loot at a suitable level, it may not be optimal.
Additionally, you will need to explore the map again with a new character and unlock the fast travel stations again.
What can you do in the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode? The Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode is the endgame of Borderlands 4. Here, you not only reach level 50, but also refine your builds and start farming loot and equipment. You can do this as follows:
With Moxxi’s Big Encore Machines, you can spawn bosses for Eridium to farm their dedicated legendary weapons as well as other equipment.
Once you have completed the campaign, you can find items with firmware. These can be any equipment items that are not weapons. Once you have a set together, you will receive various bonuses that affect your builds. After the story, you can transfer firmware from items to others. Such items drop more frequently in the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.
Through the increased experience points in the mode, you can also level your specializations that strengthen your classes again.
You can also replay the story or individual quests with increased difficulty.
The Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode is therefore suitable for players who want to continue after the story and improve their builds. Additionally, the mode offers a greater challenge. If you want to farm for this already, one of the easiest bosses is a good starting point: A boss in Borderlands 4 gives you strong loot and can be defeated in seconds

In the latest podcast episode of Henke’s Corner, Erik “Gronkh” Range talks about the time before his success as a Twitch streamer. He worked for a game company where he had to come up with a new role-playing name. He chose “Gronkh,” a “silly stone troll.”
Where did Gronkh work before Twitch and YouTube? Before his time as a successful YouTuber and Twitch streamer, Gronkh started working as a freelance web designer around the year 2000. He taught himself the skills needed, and as a trained software developer, it was no problem for him.
For the company of the developers of the MMO Meridian 59, Gronkh offered to create a free website. After it was created, Gronkh slipped into customer support for the game company. Ultimately, he handled all matters related to the software: among other things, the backend and management of customer data.

Gronkh poses as a stone troll
How did the name “Gronkh” come about? For his work there, he had to come up with a new role-playing name. While he already had an account in Meridian 59, he was not allowed to use his old name from the game, and he does not provide a reason for that.
For this reason, he chose the name “Gronkh.” The role behind it: A “silly stone troll” who “couldn’t speak properly” (Source: YouTube from minute 43:35). According to Gronkh, these also appeared in the game Meridian 59.
In this role, Gronkh corresponded with customers via email accordingly. He played his role as a “silly stone troll” so well that a complaint email reached customer support. In the email, it was said, according to Gronkh, that employees who could speak proper German should please be hired.
In response, Gronkh wrote an email in lofty German and concluded with: “Gronkh also has a lawyer” (Source: YouTube from minute 44:10).
In the game itself, Gronkh continued to play the role. He took gold from other players and justified it by saying that his “stone troll wife would beat him up if he came home without money.”
When asked if Gronkh ever thought about changing his name, he replied that he never did: “It has settled so firmly within me. It has simply become a part of me” (Source: YouTube from minute 44:47).
Norbauer demands up to 8,000 US dollars for a keyboard. But despite the price, the keyboard is constantly sold out and has long delivery times.
The manufacturer “Norbauer and Co” specializes in keyboards and compatible accessories. As of the current date (09/17/2025), the manufacturer has only one keyboard in its range, but the offering is significant: The prices for the keyboard named Seneca start at 3,600 US dollars and, according to the manufacturer, rise to 8,090 US dollars. This is equivalent to about 6,800 euros. Even a gaming keyboard for 750 euros seems relatively cheap.
Yet despite the high prices, demand appears to be strong, as the manufacturer maintains a waiting list for the expensive keyboard: According to the provider’s website, the waiting time is between 6 and 9 months. This makes the delivery times comparable to those when purchasing a new car (via Carwow.de).

Handcrafted keyboard, but testers miss features
Why is the keyboard so expensive? The Norbauer Seneca is so expensive because it is made up of over 680 individually crafted parts and is hand-built, using specially developed capacitive switches and high-quality stabilizers that are said to make the typing experience unique.
How good is the keyboard? The expensive keyboard is said to offer a very high-quality typing experience: Almost all reviews highlight the exceptionally smooth, tactile, and comparatively quiet typing sound, which is regarded as unique even among enthusiasts.
Norbauer Seneca, a keyboard with a long waiting time
Nonetheless, testers simultaneously criticize that the keyboard lacks many standard features: The Seneca does not offer a hardware remapping function, no Bluetooth, no wireless operation, no lighting, no knobs, and also no swappable switch system.
For example, testers from the English-language magazine TheVerge critically assess the value of the keyboard: In everyday use, the keyboard, apart from typing experience and build quality, does not offer additional functions compared to much cheaper models, making the price seem excessively high.
Users on Reddit also criticize that the keyboard relies on a fixed cable and does not support QMK/VIA. QMK/VIA is an open-source configuration software for mechanical keyboards that can be opened as a web app in the browser, making it very flexible.
Many players of Final Fantasy XIV love to outfit their own characters with the best gear, the rarest hairstyles, and the coolest mounts. Now the developers have implemented what players have long wanted. Unfortunately, only in the wrong version of the MMORPG.
What’s new? Recently, there have been two prominent new things in Final Fantasy XIV. One is a mount, in the form of a floating or flying surfboard. The second is new hairstyles. The twist? The mount is dyeable. And the hairstyles are long hair with stylish bangs.
What makes the hairstyles so special? Players of Final Fantasy XIV have long desired new long hairstyles. Every time new hair cosmetics are announced, social media discussions arise: While there are always new hairstyles, they are usually short hair or high ponytails, and every now and then NPC hairstyles (via FFXIV Collect).
But now there are at least two new cute hairstyles with long, open hair – exactly what the players are wishing for. The hairstyle can even be customized with bows and chains. However, this hairstyle is not available in the regular version of Final Fantasy XIV for PC, Mac, PS5, PS4, and Xbox, but only in the currently China-restricted mobile version.

Clipping problems and monetization
Why are the hairstyles only available for mobile? A specific reason for this is currently unknown and it may also happen that the hairstyle will be implemented in the main game at a later point. However, there are a few points that might explain the situation:
Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XIV Mobile are developed by different teams. Although both are under Square Enix and director and producer Naoki Yoshida probably has some influence on the mobile version, this version is ultimately created at Lightspeed Studios.
For the main game, it is often said that implementing long hair is difficult. In development, it must always be ensured that the hairstyle does not “clip” into the armor, which can lead to unsightly display errors. It’s also about quality.
Since the mobile version currently includes far fewer items than the main game, developing such hairstyles at Lightspeed Studios might simply be easier.
An example of clipping problems with long hair:

Additionally, the mobile version of the MMORPG is completely free-to-play. However, the game still needs to be financed, which it does in part through the sale of cosmetic items and mounts via an in-game shop. It’s quite possible that the pressure on the team to create well-selling cosmetics for the shop is higher than the concern about display errors like clipping.
According to a comment via the Chinese app Weibo, a hairstyle costs 68 Yuan, roughly equivalent to about 8.07 Euros at current exchange rates. Additionally, the comments suggest that one cannot simply buy the desired hairstyle, but instead receives a loot box with a random version for the purchase price. This significantly increases the money investment, as many people likely buy boxes until the desired hairstyle is included. This quickly adds up.
Six new hairstyles in Final Fantasy XIV Mobile.
The mobile game really exposes SE and the main game completely
How do the players feel about this? In fact, about three months ago, new long hairstyles were introduced for Final Fantasy XIV Mobile. The comments in a Reddit thread were still quite tame. It was mainly about the fact that players would want exactly such hairstyles. There was a lot of hope.
On September 9, 2025, more hairstyles were announced along with patch notes 2.01 for Final Fantasy XIV Mobile. The tone in the official forum of the main game is now harsher:
IttyBittyShark:This is exactly the kind of hairstyle the players have been begging for in the main game for ages. Instead, we keep getting (subjectively) the same ugly short bobs and similar hairstyles. People have been wanting more long hairstyles for years!
Velthice:I doubt it was intended, but the mobile game really exposes SE and the main game completely.
Luluna:This frustrates me so much, lol. […] This is exactly the kind of hairstyle (with a toggle) that a lot of players would love. I wish they would finally do something about it and listen to the feedback – but unfortunately, I doubt it.
Ephremjlm:If your system is so bad that it literally can’t keep up with a mobile game, then they shouldn’t have done the graphic update at all. Instead, they should have rebuilt the system completely from scratch. […]
There are also some commentators who are annoyed about the dyeable mount. However, the main focus of the community is on the new hairstyles.
Just because the hairstyles are currently exclusively available in the mobile version does not mean they might not eventually make their way to the main game. Many items originally developed for, for example, China or Korea have later been made available worldwide. However, these were already intended for the standard framework of Final Fantasy XIV. Whether a port of mobile assets is as easy is unclear. The players also have quite strong words on this topic in the forum. It seems they also sometimes go overboard with their feedback: “Strict feedback is fine” – The head of Final Fantasy XIV asks the players to consider who the feedback goes to: people

Survival building in ancient Rome
What is the game about? Your task is to establish a new Roman colony. You start by building your villa and traditionally raise buildings, including residential houses, production facilities, and magnificent structures like a Colosseum.
However, peacefully building is not what this is about. Your colony will regularly be attacked by barbarians from the north. Occasionally, you will also encounter mythical creatures in battles, such as the multi-headed Hydra. For protection, you construct walls and towers as well as barracks where you recruit troops.
In addition, you should also pay homage to the gods. If you fail to do this, you will face disasters such as plagues or severe thunderstorms. If the gods favor you, however, you will be rewarded with various bonuses.
With the launch of version 1.0, several new features have been introduced to the game, including:
A new desert area designed specifically for veterans with its harsh environment
A new mythical threat to your settlement in the form of the bull-headed Minotaur
Spike traps that serve as a cost-effective means to fend off enemies
Is there a demo for the game? Currently, there is no demo of Roman Triumph: Survival City Builder. If you realize within the first two hours of gameplay that the game is not for you, you can make use of the return policy on Steam.
Borderlands 4 has a peculiar charm that even shooter noob and MeinMMO editor Alexander Mehrwald cannot resist. The fact that he slaughters everything in the game is mainly thanks to a pink cat.
With shooters, I usually prefer to stay away, as I am really bad at them. Nevertheless, I had to give Borderlands 4 a chance with its own unique charm and RPG elements. The vibrant colors and quirky humor drew me in.
But would I, as a shooter noob, be able to manage? My highest experiences had been with the guns from Uncharted and Tomb Raider, which, to be fair, cannot be compared to a real shooter. Whenever I picked up another shooter, I quickly lost interest.
Completely undecided about which character to choose, I opted for Vex. Her specializations reminded me the most of my previous RPG preferences – and I was not to be disappointed.

Fighting fiercely with Rabatzi
While I died more often in the tutorial than I would like to admit, everything changed for me when I could choose my specialization. I picked the cat, remembering my WoW days when I roamed around with my cat as a hunter.
Quickly, I realized how much more enjoyable the game became with the huge furball affectionately called Rabatzi by my side. The cat helps distract nearby enemies and absorbs damage that would otherwise kill me.
Rabatzi also supports me by often killing enemies “behind the scenes”, outside my field of vision, before I even notice them. This helps me keep track of everything. Plus, you can pet her, which heals her. What more could you want? I was already very happy with that and even had real fun with the shooter.
Skills that deal significant damage even in noob hands
The longer I fought alongside Rabatzi through Kairos, the more I enjoyed experimenting with different skills and trying to find out how to utilize the bond with the stylish pink cat even more effectively. Before I knew it, I was deep into a shooter that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have spent much time on, if the tutorial had continued as it had.
I quickly discovered some combinations that allowed me to dispatch enemies even faster and avoid risking my health bar being depleted. I even found it fun to dive into the fray, explore, and collect endless loot.
Because Rabatzi is not only super cute and can absorb damage for you, she can also deal significant damage, making her a fantastic aid for beginners like me. Eventually, I felt so comfortable with my cat by my side that I even increased the difficulty to enhance the chance of better loot.
For my playstyle, Rabatzi was the best thing that could have happened to me, ensuring that even I, as a shooter noob, had real fun with Borderlands 4.
But Vex can shine not only with Rabatzi. With her other specializations, the Siren is incredibly powerful and thus also interesting for players beyond just beginners. We have prepared a particularly strong build that clears enemies in seconds: Borderlands 4: Strong build for Vex takes down bosses in seconds

One of the craziest and highest-rated series on Amazon is back for another round – and sooner than expected.
Many years have passed since the pilot episode of Hazbin Hotel was released on YouTube. After a whole season was finally released on Amazon in 2024, the response was enormous – we celebrated it as well. Currently, the series holds a 4.9 / 5 star rating on Amazon and was such a success that not only was Season 2 confirmed, but Seasons 3 and 4 have already received the “green light” as well.
A first teaser for Season 2 has now been released:
Start video
Hazbin Hotel hell series starts with Season 2
What is Hazbin Hotel about? In Hazbin Hotel, we follow Charlie Morningstar, the daughter of Lucifer, the lord of Hell. Because many sinners are killed in Hell every year, she has a plan: she wants to open a hotel where the sinners of Hell can be freed from their vices and perhaps achieve ascension to Heaven. The idea is met with mockery and scorn – not only from the corrupted inhabitants of Hell itself, but also from the angels of Heaven, who descend once a year to decimate Hell’s residents and kill as many of them as possible.
Although it is an animated series, it is clearly aimed at adults. The world is dark, vulgar, and it features a lot of harsh themes, such as substance abuse or sexual exploitation.
When does the second season start? As the teaser reveals, the second season of Hazbin Hotel will start on October 29, 2025 – in about 6 weeks.
The waiting time is sweetened with another series
If you liked Hazbin Hotel, you might also enjoy the other series from the same universe – Helluva Boss. So far, this series has only been available on YouTube and in English, but Amazon Prime has also secured the rights and has released a dubbed version. Future seasons will also be released on Amazon and YouTube.

Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel have been two of my favorites over the past few years and have introduced me to a whole new genre of animated series while sparking my interest in musicals – something I never thought would be possible.
With Warborne Above Ashes, a new free-to-play MMO is set to launch on September 19, 2025, on Steam. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz was able to play it early and collect his first kills.
What kind of game is Warborne? The developers at Qooland Games describe their new work as a “free-to-play 24/7 real-time PvP MMO.” Thanks to the free-to-play model, you can dive into the massive battlefield of Warborne Above Ashes starting September 19, 2025, and experience small or large battles against players from other factions around the clock.
At first glance, the MMO, with its colorful graphic style, isometric perspective, controls, and champions (called Drifters in Warborne) resembles League of Legends. However, Warborne does not conform to the tight framework of MOBA matches or other instanced PvP modes.
Instead, you start the game in a vast world full of contested territories, where you can encounter players from a total of 6 factions at any time. Always at the start: your mobile Driftbase, where you can repair, change your Drifter, research, replenish supplies, or trade, among other things.

Warborne Above Ashes bereitet euch mit neuem Trailer auf den Launch auf Steam vor
A Reward Awaits at Every Corner
How does Warborne play? You can already feel the MMO’s free-to-play model with every first login of the day. First and foremost, you want to collect login rewards, goodies from the optional subscription, supplies, mails with in-game items, and special event treats.
The reward spiral continues even after that, as you follow the chapters of the main quest and side quests, which gradually introduce you to the various features and systems of Warborne like a red thread. This is quite motivating and ensures that we were never overwhelmed and always had a clear goal in mind.
The amount of systems and features is remarkable. Let’s take character progression as an example, as far as we’ve experienced it so far:
Your chosen Drifter defines your role in combat, the base attributes your hero possesses, and what active Drifter ability and passive enhancement you have access to. Additional abilities and effects are defined by your weapons and equipment.
By defeating enemies and completing tasks, you gain experience points and level up. This allows you to obtain attribute points to improve your champion’s stats.
Moreover, you can also increase a hero’s attributes by leveling combat infusions and the equipment mastery of the character. By the same means, all weapons and armor pieces can be improved.
Speaking of which: weapons and armor can be obtained as loot or mission rewards or purchased from other players through the auction house.
Alternatively, you unlock recipes for weapons and armor pieces through equipment training. Unlocked equipment can then be purchased through the trading house.
Drifters can connect with certain other Drifters, allowing you to unlock additional bonuses for your healing caused and/or damage dealt. Additionally, you can park Drifters at the support station, which also provides attribute bonuses.
In your Driftbase, you can build a research center to develop upgrades for your Drifter, resource gathering, trading, and more.
Furthermore, there are faction missions and a faction pass through which you can earn additional rewards, as well as a progression path, weekly rewards, and seasonal leaderboards that honor your PvP contributions. In summary, you are constantly rewarded for almost everything and continuously increase the strength of your Drifters.
Currently, regular boot camp videos for Warborne are being released on YouTube to prepare you for the upcoming battle – here is Part 2:

In each of the many regions of the battlefield, you not only face opposing players. NPC enemies are scattered everywhere, guarding junkyards with reward boxes, important resource points, or gathering stations. You can also summon world bosses at specific points. Additionally, there are heavily guarded locations that are better visited with a group.
The closer you get to the central regions of the vast battlefield, the tougher the opponents become, the more exciting the locations are, and the more valuable the rewards are.
The idea of Warborne is that the various factions and guilds fight for exactly these points. Sometimes in large battles, sometimes in smaller skirmishes. Whoever reaches and controls the center will likely have a good chance of victory in the current battle cycle.
However, we cannot currently say whether this plan will work and whether the performance will remain stable when 200 Drifters actually meet.
The battlefield.The Driftbase in its mobile and stationary form.The Drifters.The battle for an important stronghold on the battlefield.
During our playtesting sessions, we mostly had one-on-one duels, often near junkyards. These were always very one-sided. It is unclear whether this was due to our fortunate Drifter choice, the current balancing, or our already achieved progress. We were able to take on the boss of the junkyard, his minions, and the interfering player at the same time several times.
There is also a question mark over the progression itself. In our test version, we had so many resources and instant research available that we could gain numerous improvements and significant power-ups in just a few hours.
However, as the research center also has research queues and specifications for the required research time, we believe it is very likely that the actual progression at launch will be significantly slower.
The developers promise that Warborne will not require grinding, but many of the quests felt grindy even during our play sessions. For example, daily quests requiring you to defeat 100 mobs or gather rich veins 400,000 times.
Who could Warborne be for? While there are PvE enemies and challenges, the MMO clearly targets PvP enthusiasts who want to engage in an ongoing struggle for territories with their own guild or faction.
Given the many progression systems, missions, and the mentality of many competitive guilds, casual players will likely not enjoy Warborne in the long run. MinMaxers and PvP fans with plenty of time can look forward to numerous Drifters, weapons, synergies, and more. One can certainly get wonderfully immersed in this MMO for months to ultimately stand at the top of the leaderboard. This news concerns a weeks-long battle: In an MMO on Steam, thousands of players fight against each other for weeks, and a big update is now coming

In League of Legends there are many pros. Faker is probably the most famous and successful player of all time. Now he has achieved something that many champions lack.
Why is Faker such a legend? Lee Sang-hyeok, better known as Faker, has been active in the esports scene of League of Legends since 2013. He won his first Worlds title in the same year. With the championships of 2024, he has already earned his fifth title and thus has won the most Worlds.
Every champion in LoL has at least one skin, but there are a total of 62 champs that have fewer skins than Faker. With a total of 9 cool cosmetics in his wardrobe, Faker can almost host his own LoL match with his skins. He received the last one in August 2025 for the champion Yone for his victory at the Worlds 2024.
This means that Faker has more skins than a third of the total 171 champions in LoL (36%), as Reddit user Yujin-Ha noted. Although Faker does not yet make the list of the most skins, he should still have a few years before he retires.
In the video, you can see the trailer for Season 3 in 2025 of League of Legends:

How does Faker play his champions? Faker is known for letting the champions he plays run around completely without new cosmetics. The site lol.fandom.com even has its own trivia about it and provides interesting information.
It is said that Faker played with a skin for the champion Riven during the finals of the OGN Winter in 2014. Later, he gave some insights into his mishap: an OGN staff member checked the player accounts before the match and accidentally selected the skin, Battle Bunny Riven.
