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

The web app for EA FC 26 will be released tonight, allowing you to gain valuable advantages for Ultimate Team even before the actual release. We present you 4 tips to start optimally into the new season.
What is the web app? It is a free browser tool that allows you to access Ultimate Team before the release. With the web app, you can:
create your new club
build your starting team
utilize the transfer market
complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)
view current events and promo players
open packs
The big advantage: All this can be done without owning the actual game. The first days before the official release in FC 26 can offer you some advantages, as you can secure coins and cards before the influx of players begins.
Deep Dive trailer on gameplay shows 2 different gameplays and numerous adjustments
1. Tip: Choose the right starter nation
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:

Faker has 9 skins in LoL, but mostly plays without cool cosmetics
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.
In Dungeons & Dragons each dice set contains an example of the needed dice variants, from the 4-sided W4 to the 20-sided W20. However, when a Dungeon Master finds 100 dice, he turns to the community to find out what to do with his find – and they have some wicked ideas.
What kind of dice are these? The DM (Dungeon Master) JourneymanHunt posted on Reddit a picture of 100 black dice he found. The dice are W6s, which are 6-sided dice used in many different board games.
Now the Dungeon Master asks the community what he could do with this mass of dice to use them in a session of Dungeons & Dragons. He also explicitly points out that he is ready to annoy his players. The respondents do not need to be told twice and share their ideas.
Here you see the presentation of “Daggerheart”, the tabletop role-playing game from Critical Role:

Drive your players crazy with a hundred dice
Which suggestions are the most popular? The two top suggestions under the Reddit post with the most upvotes clearly pursue a similar goal: to cause absolute paranoia.
For example, Kinfin writes: “Put them in a bowl, start a timer in the middle of a fight, and when the time is up, take a handful and roll them. Then tell your players that they see (the rolled number) birds flying overhead” (Source: Reddit). This is referred to by the reply, with over a thousand upvotes, as “art” (Partiallyedible on Reddit).
To fuel this even further, Justincrediballs adds the following tip: “I’m sure there’s no reason to worry, … Add a slight grin, and then everything is secured” (Source: Reddit).
Also, piznit007 feels that sometimes it’s enough to create a little unrest and fear, even if nothing bad really happens:
“I mean, if you just want to annoy them, have each of them roll one of the dice. Murmur to yourself, scribble something on a piece of paper and then give each of them another black die. Repeat this until they become suspicious or ask too many questions. Tell them it will be important later, and then never bring it up again” (via Reddit).
How can the dice actually be used in gameplay? Other players have further ideas on how to use the dice for actual gameplay purposes, rather than just as instruments of fear.
You can use the dice like a kind of Hydra by placing a die with a 6 on the map. When you defeat them, place 6 more dice showing all 5s. When you defeat those, place 5 more dice showing all 4s for each die, and so on. This idea comes from mightyatom13 on Reddit.
The player NumerousSun4282 brings another idea from another TTRPG (via Reddit), the so-called “Devil Dice”: Players get to decide if they want to add an extra W6 to their roll, and then may take a die. In return, however, the Dungeon Master may also take a W6 to use for their own rolls or to subtract from the rolled amount of a player’s roll.
The player moongrump also has a simple yet effective idea: “Twelve Fireballs” (via Reddit).
In Path of Exile 2 there are many ways to get rare items. A player used the rituals for this and found a magnificent unique, but by the time he paid it off, it was already worthless.
What did a player have to struggle with? The user shadowclone515 explained on Reddit 2 days ago (as of September 17, 2025) that after ages he could finally pay off a unique of his choice at the ritual altars. The unique is “The Coming Calamity (Heroic Armor)” – a chest armor.
In his post, the user explains he had to bring up to 30,000 tributes to finally buy the item. That’s a lot, and anyone who frequently uses the rituals on their maps will know that such a bill can only be paid off in installments.
One might think the item would now be worth a lot and could be quickly resold for a profit, but that is not the case. The blame lies with the altar system.

A race against time
Why is the find not a cause for joy? If one wants to use the item for their own build, the find could still have some use, but aside from that, the chest armor is worthless on the market.
If you observe the price history of “The Coming Calamity” with PoE2 Scout, you will find that on August 30, you could have gotten up to 516 Exalts (Exalted Orbs) – which is currently worth 2 Divs (Divine Orbs). That would at least be a nice profit, even though it is small.
Currently, however, you only get between 6 and 8 Exalts for the armor, which is very low. It would be better to have the item enchanted at Zolin to receive a shard of possibilities.
With 10 shards, you receive a sphere of possibilities that is worth much more
Why did the user take ages to buy the item? It has to do with the rituals. In the endgame, you can generate or find maps with rituals on your atlas. In these, you lock up the altars and get up to 2,000-3,000 tributes that you can then waste at the altars for items.
However, if you find an item that is very valuable, like a unique, the price, as in the case of the Reddit user, amounts to 30,000 tributes – too much to pay all at once. The only option is to pay for the item in installments.
Your desired item then has a lower price and has the chance to be offered again at a future altar with its adjusted price. However, the problem here is that there is no guarantee that your unique will be offered at the next map.
You always have to hope that your item appears so that you can pay it off piece by piece with a new rate. This takes not only time but also affects your profit if you want to sell your item.
A new skating game called skate. has emerged, attracting over 80,000 players directly on Steam. However, they are far from satisfied.
What kind of game is it? skate. is a reboot of the popular Skate series, launched on September 16, 2025, on Steam. Just like the original titles, skate. is published by EA. What differs this time is that it is not a conventional single-player or co-op title; instead, the game is designed for always-on and live-service play.
The game is available for free on Steam, which attracted over 80,000 interested players on the first day, giving the free skating game a chance (via SteamDB). However, the reviews for the new title have been poor.
You can watch the trailer for skate. here:

Skate. shows in the early access release trailer how skateboarding will be in 2025
Interested but disappointed
What bothers the fans about the game? The new skate. inevitably has to measure itself against its original titles that were released years ago. However, there are many issues that dampen the gaming experience.
On the technical side, the developers released the game in Early Access, leaving numerous problems such as bugs, crashes, and performance issues in the game. These issues now annoy the fans and spoil the first impression. Particularly, a bug that prevents many fans from even completing the tutorial results in negative reviews.
Those who made it into the game criticize other problems. Players on Steam find that the game world appears more like a contrived environment for skating rather than a believable world where skaters need to carve their paths.
Furthermore, some players criticize the game world, stating that it does not reflect the typical skater spirit in both character and design. Fans miss a sense of rebelliousness in several reviews on Steam.
Is skate. worth it? While fans are somewhat disappointed with the first impression of the skateboard game, many do not fully negatively assess it in their reviews. Some claim that the game is indeed fun and feels reminiscent of the past, although there are simply too many problems surrounding the core mechanics.
However, those who want to ride their skateboard through a city center again and execute tricks like Ollie, Kickflip, and Heelflip without needing a halfpipe can start skate. for free on Steam and see for themselves if it is enjoyable.
The players of skate. had high expectations for the new title, which could not be met. Now it is up to the developers to respond to player feedback with new patches and continue the successful launch. The tough competition also released a new installment this year: The new Tony Hawk feels like gaming 20 years ago—in a good way

In September, several major games like Borderlands 4 or long-awaited favorites like Hollow Knight: Silksong celebrated their release. However, there are other games on Steam that should not be overlooked during this hype. In this list, we present 5 of them.
While games like Borderlands 4, the current bestseller on Steam, are experiencing a lot of hype, some other games get overshadowed by this hype.
Nevertheless, there are certainly noteworthy releases that have taken place in September 2025 and will continue to do so, and we want to give you a little nudge for further inspirations with this list.
If you have completely lost track of other releases because of Borderlands 4, or if the new shooter simply does not interest you at all, these games might be for you.
The order of the games says nothing about their ratings, but is based on the release date of the mentioned games. The list serves as an informative source of inspiration for browsing.

Cronos: The New Dawn in Trailer – reminiscent of Dead Space
Rating: Very Positive (86% of 2,889 user reviews are positive)
Cronos: The New Dawn by Bloober Team is a survival horror game in which a past event forever changed humanity and led to a devastated and extremely dangerous wasteland in the future.
The world is full of grotesque beings that can pose a real challenge as remnants of human civilization. These creatures are not only aggressive but can merge together, or rather, devour each other to become even more persistent, faster, and simply more horrific.
The player’s task is to find certain people in the past who did not survive the apocalypse but are crucial means to change the future. However, the more one interacts with the souls of these individuals, the more it influences the mind of the playable character.
Players on Steam report how they find Cronos: The New Dawn:
“Cronos: The New Dawn feels like the illegitimate child of Dead Space and Resident Evil,” writes DarkTerminator (via Steam).
“I’m still way too blown away by the awesome game that I have no neurons left to write a detailed review. :)” Phil eventually manages to write (via Steam).
“Cronos has a really dense atmosphere. I never thought it would captivate me like this. It’s quite difficult at times, but never frustrating,” writes Flammus (via Steam).

Fans behind the universe of Game of Thrones have been waiting for years for the continuation of the novels, but soon at least fans of the series can look forward to new stories from Westeros. In addition to House of the Dragon, another series is set to start.
Which series is it about? Fans of the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire have been waiting since 2011 for the novel The Winds of Winter. Even George R.R. Martin is unsure if he will ever finish the series. However, fans of the fantasy universe will still be served with new series.
As it was announced recently, a new prequel series titled A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms is set to premiere in January 2026 (via Deadline). But that is not the only series to look forward to.
You can see the first teaser for the series here:

First teaser for the new prequel of Game of Thrones: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
A new series and a new season show the story before Game of Thrones
What is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms about? The series is based on the three Hedge Knight novellas by George R.R. Martin, which can be found in Germany under the title Der Heckenritter von Westeros: Das Urteil der Sieben.
The series takes place before Game of Thrones, but 100 years after the events of House of the Dragon. The focus of the series is on the knight Ser Duncan and his squire Ei, who travel through the world of Westeros and develop a friendship along the way. As we know from the universe, Ei hides a great secret.
What else can fans of Game of Thrones look forward to? As Casey Bloys, the CEO of HBO, revealed to the magazine Deadline, the 3rd season of House of the Dragon is expected to be released in 2026. He does not mention a specific date, but expects that the season will start shortly after the 2026 Emmy window closes, which ends on May 31, 2026.
When looking at the IMDB ratings of the 2nd season of House of the Dragon, not all viewers were thrilled. The 2nd season premiered on June 16, 2024, and the 8th and final episode aired on August 4. After nearly 2 years, the series is set to return.
In the future, another series could come. In 2024, the Hollywood Reporter reported that a direct prequel to House of the Dragon is in development. It will focus on Aegon Targaryen and how he brutally conquered Westeros.
Later in 2024, the alleged author of this series, Mattson Tomlin, who is also working on The Batman Part 2, specified the information (via Entertainment Weekly). He mentioned that the planned spin-off is in quite an early stage of development.
In July 2025, Mattson Tomlin confirmed on x.com that he has already worked a lot on the script for the series. There is currently no official information on possible filming or release dates.
As part of the project, he is also supposed to collaborate with George R.R. Martin. The series is expected to be based on chapters from the book Fire & Blood, which was published in 2018. Fans of Game of Thrones can look forward to many contents in the future, even if the next book is still awaited.

During the fight between Zenitsu and his opponent, a moviegoer reportedly relieved himself in the front row, where several fans were sitting at the time. Among those affected was reportedly a child.
The man allegedly stood up, opened his pants, relieved himself, and then simply sat down as if nothing had happened (see AZ Family).
The video that is circulating does not show the incident. Instead, we see how a man reacts to the public urinator, namely with punches. Afterwards, the room lights come on, the film is interrupted, and the moviegoers are asked to leave the theater.

What happened to the public urinator? As azfamily.com reports, the man who urinated was arrested around 11 PM local time. He now faces several charges, including indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, property damage, and failure to provide a correct name.
What happened to the fans? The cinema company is said to have been very accommodating. They reportedly offered visitors a refund as well as the option to continue watching the movie in another theater. Even with free snacks. Let’s just hope that no 4D effects like water splashes are used there.
What happened to the cinema? According to user Nito on TikTok, the affected rows are still reportedly blocked off. Some visitors had to move because of this. Likely, a thorough cleaning or replacement of the seats is still required.

The strongest monsters for the Willpower Cup
Lepumentas
What kind of Pokémon is this? Lepumentas is a monster with the types Psychic and Ground. You obtain it by evolving Puppance.
Lepumentas
What attacks should the monster have? When you use the monster, you should go for the fast attack Mud Shot and the charge attacks Rock Tomb and Fire Spin.
What IV values are desirable? If you have a Lepumentas with the values 0 Attack, 14 Defense, and 15 HP, you have the perfect values for the Cup.
What is this monster good for? Lepumentas can take some damage and covers some opposing monsters with its charge attacks of the types Rock and Ground. You can use it at the start of a battle as well as later.
Grypheldis
What kind of Pokémon is this? Grypheldis has the types Dark and Flying. The Pokémon is the evolution of Skallyk.
What attacks should the monster have? Grypheldis is usually played best with a moveset consisting of Air Slash, Foul Play, and Aerial Ace.
What IV values are desirable? 0 Attack, 13 Defense, and 15 HP.
What is this monster good for? Grypheldis has high defense and is hard to defeat when your opponent doesn’t have a type advantage. Fighting-type monsters usually fare poorly against Grypheldis. Can be used at the start or later in the battle.
Metang
What kind of Pokémon is this? If you evolve a Tanhel, you get Metang. The monster has the types Psychic and Steel.
What attacks should the monster have? For this monster, focus on the attacks Leaf Blade, Psyshock, and Gyro Ball.
What IV values are desirable? 0 Attack, 13 Defense, and 15 HP.
What is this monster good for? Metang is particularly suited for starting a battle. It can withstand a lot, quickly use charge attacks, and force the opponent to switch their Pokémon or use their shields.
You can also opt for the Shadow variant of Metang. This version takes a bit less damage but deals more damage. Both variants perform well in the Willpower Cup.
Epitaff
What kind of Pokémon is this? Epitaff has the types Fighting and Ghost. You obtain it by first evolving a Menki into Rasaff and then into Epitaff.
Epitaff
What attacks should the monster have? Epitaff is very strong when equipped with the attacks Counter, Close Combat, and Ice Punch. Since Close Combat is an exclusive move, you need to use a charged TM if you don’t already have an Epitaff with this move.
What IV values are desirable? 2 Attack, 15 Defense, and 15 HP.
What is this monster good for? Epitaff is particularly suited as the first monster in battle or for switching in. With its Ice Punch, it can cause significant problems for some opposing Flying-type monsters.
You can also opt for the Shadow variant of Epitaff, depending on your preference.
Piondragi
What kind of Pokémon is this? If you evolve Pionskora, you will get Piondragi. The Pokémon has the types Poison and Dark.
Piondragi
What attacks should the monster have? Piondragi shines especially when you teach the monster the attacks Poison Jab, Crunch, and Aqua Tail.
What IV values are desirable? The perfect Piondragi has the IV values 2 Attack, 15 Defense, and 14 HP.
What is this monster good for? The Pokémon can quickly use charge attacks and build pressure on the opponent, forcing them to use their shields. Crunch also has a 20% chance to lower the opponent’s Defense.
It is especially suitable as the first monster or for switching in.
Galar-Gallopa
What kind of Pokémon is this? The Galar variant of Gallopa has the types Psychic and Fairy. You get it when you evolve Galar-Ponita.
What attacks should the monster have? For this monster, a combination of the attacks Fairy Wind, Body Slam, and Play Rough is recommended.
What IV values are desirable? 0 Attack, 13 Defense, and 15 HP.
What is this monster good for? Galar-Gallopa can also quickly use charge attacks and thus apply pressure to the opponent, forcing them to use their shields. This strength comes with the drawback that Galar-Gallopa does not hold up particularly well.
It should ideally be used at the start of a battle or switched in during the battle.
Rasaff
What kind of Pokémon is this? Not only Epitaff, but Rasaff itself is also one of the best attackers in the Willpower Cup. The monster is the evolution of Menki and has the Fighting type.
Rasaff
What attacks should the monster have? Karate Chop, Close Combat, and Ice Punch is the preferred moveset for this monster. However, both Karate Chop and Close Combat are exclusive moves, for which you need to use a Fast TM and a Charged TM, respectively, if you don’t already have them.
What IV values are desirable? 1 Attack, 15 Defense, and 15 HP.
What is this monster good for? While Rasaff does not hold up particularly well, it can quickly use its charge attacks and cover a wide range of opposing monsters, making it very effective against them.
What should I consider when assembling a team? When putting together your team, ensure that it is balanced. You will generally not have successful battles if all your monsters are susceptible to one type.
Also, make sure that you don’t only have glass cannons in your team that can be knocked out after a few attacks from the opponent. A mix of strong glass cannons and sturdy defenders can make a better team overall.
What should I pay attention to in battle? Also, get to know your Pokémon that you are using. Find out which of your opponent’s monsters can deal strong damage to your own and which cannot. It is not always necessary to exhaust your shields directly. A smart use of shields can make the difference between victory and defeat.
Other good monsters: Of course, not only the 7 mentioned monsters are good for the Willpower Cup. They are, however, monsters of the current meta that many of you might already have or that are easier to obtain. We will list some further recommended monsters in the following table:

Jens “Knossi” Knossalla reacted to the contestant presentation of 7 vs. Wild. He noticed that the survival show still owes something to the former participant. Promptly, he calls Fritz Meinecke to demand the debt.
What promise is at stake? Jens “Knossi” Knossalla is not only a Twitch streamer but also a former contestant of 7 vs. Wild. In seasons 2 and 3, his participation marked the show and he became a fan favorite, even though he was the exact opposite before.
In the Twitch livestream (via YouTube), he recently reacted to the contestant presentation of the new season 5 of 7 vs. Wild. The former participant noticed that the show has not yet fulfilled a promise.
Due to the takeover of 7 vs. Wild by the production company Calivision, the show was broadcast on a separate YouTube channel and no longer on the channel of founder Fritz Meinecke. According to Knossi, there was a promise that all participants of season 3 would receive a YouTube play button from the channel. But it never arrived. A fact he wanted to change.
What is the Play Button?
The YouTube play button is the award from YouTube for reaching milestones in the form of subscribers gained on the YouTube channel. Each channel owner receives a button when they reach the respective level. There are the following levels:
Silver – 100,000 subscribers
Gold – 1,000,000 subscribers
Diamond – 10,000,000 subscribers
Red Diamond – 100,000,000 subscribers

Call to the Founders
Who did Knossi call? Directly after noticing that he had not yet received the play button, he called the “7 vs. Wild” founding father Fritz Meinecke live on stream. Meinecke answered the call in Sweden and explained that he was currently with SurvivalMattin (known from seasons 1 and 3), Bommel (known from season 1), and Brian (outdoor influencer).
Knossi did not want to disturb the outdoor meeting for long and confronted Meinecke directly with the problem. However, the show’s founder could not remember any agreement on the same. Meinecke himself, as well as the other founders, can no longer send the play button – they have since exited 7 vs. Wild.
Meinecke explains that he himself would have received a play button and did not know how Knossi would get one. He also did not want to reveal a contact to the new production company live on stream.
What else has Knossi tried? After the rejection from founding father Fritz Meinecke, Jens “Knossi” Knossalla did not want to give up and tried it with the other founders. While he probably lost the number of Johannes Hovekamp, he also called the third founder, Maximilian Kovacs, live on stream.
But aside from the stylish profile picture, which Knossi praised himself, he saw nothing. The founder did not answer the call. The former participant then sent a voice message to the founder explaining his request. So far, it is unclear whether he will still receive his button.
Lego has recreated the Bugatti Chiron from LEGO bricks. The result is quite impressive, and even more impressive is the fact that the model can actually drive, albeit not as fast as the real vehicle from the manufacturer Bugatti.
Lego has built the super sports car Bugatti Chiron at a 1:1 scale from LEGO bricks. The vehicle was actually constructed in the Czech town of Kladno. In Kladno, they specialize in creating large exhibition pieces for shops or Legoland parks.
The special thing about the Bugatti Chiron made of LEGO: It is not only an authentic recreation, but it can also really drive. This is because thousands of LEGO motors are hidden inside that move the vehicle along the test track.
