Instead of 7 vs. Wild, the viewers are looking forward to the 3rd season of Manhunt, even Fritz Meinecke cheers on the candidates

The YouTube format Manhunt is entering its third round and introduces its participants in a video. The community is already excited in the comments.

What is this YouTube format? It is about the YouTube show Manhunt. A group of participants must remain undiscovered for several days and survive while on the run in a city. The participants are hunted by a “task force” that is closely on their trail.

In Season 1, they had to fight their way through Vienna; in Season 2, the participants were chased through Bangkok.

The winner is whoever manages to last the entire specified time without being caught. Participants may run away or hide.

The format is another YouTube show that can be classified in the survival genre along with 7 vs. Wild and The Race. Fritz Meinecke, the creator of 7 vs. Wild, reacted to the episodes of Manhunt from Season 2 on his Twitch channel and seemed thrilled. He described the season as “awesome” and found it exciting overall (Source: YouTube).

The Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller participated in Season 3 of 7 vs. Wild. We introduce him in the video:

Manhunt Season 3 focuses on a colorful mix of candidates

Which participants are involved? For Season 3, Manhunt has mixed a special blend of content creators. The following individuals are participating:

  • Uwe “FlyingUwe” – YouTube legend, fitness and MMA influencer; has already participated in Season 4 of 7 vs. Wild
  • Anika “Sintica” – Twitch streamer and DJ; has a lot of travel experience
  • Etienne / Ette – Freerunner and parkour athlete; creates content about it on his YouTube channel
  • Ferhat – kept the task force on their toes in Season 1 of Manhunt; former boxer and coach on YouTube
  • YouTuber Daniel Jungl – creates travel content on YouTube; previously participated in Season 1 of The Race and won the format
  • Fabio Schäfer – survival YouTuber Fabio Schäfer, who also attempted Season 1 of 7 vs. Wild
  • Sabrina Outdoor – survival YouTuber with experience from 7 vs. Wild, but from Season 2
  • Marco from TaccosWorld – ventures with his YouTube audience into lost places and other adventures
  • Wildcard winner Janna – a headhunter by profession, with little reach but a lot of courage

The lineup for this year’s season of Manhunt is colorful and the game directors are already looking forward to the broadcast. They emphasize that filming the show was exhausting and very costly.

Community is excited for the start

How is the community reacting? The comments under the YouTube video seem to be eagerly awaiting the start of Season 3. In any case, they are excited about the selection of participants:

  • BassTplays writes, for example: “That’s how you properly introduce your participants. It really makes you excited for more. Someone understood how to build hype”
  • Dirk.Hempel finds the participant selection super: “The player selection is a solid 10 out of 10. This time there’s no favorite because everyone is exciting. I can’t wait to watch the first episode.”
  • Fritz Meinecke also shares his anticipation: “Leeeeeets Go!!!!! <3”

When does Season 3 start? The two game directors have not yet disclosed a start date, but they give a hint: On August 15, each of the participants uploaded a short or reel on their channel containing hidden messages about when it is supposed to start. However, there should soon be a separate announcement video about this.

Currently, 7 vs. Wild is also on its way to a new season. Season 5 of the survival format has nothing to do with creator Fritz Meinecke, but is supposed to be one of the toughest seasons.

A new player makes a great find in Dune: Awakening, feels rich, the community says: It is like a 5-year-old finding 100 €

In Dune: Awakening, a new player made a great discovery. The community is happy for him but chuckles at the situation at the same time.

What did the player find? If you start now with Dune: Awakening, the chances are high to find an abandoned base. Since the release in June, many players have left the survival MMO, losing ownership of their belongings to the desert.

Of the peak of 189,000 players at release, only about 28,500 are left logging in on weekends (via SteamDB). The new player TargaryenKnight experienced exactly that. He is still in the middle of the campaign but found an dissolving base full of loot during his exploration of the world and was thrilled with the new wealth.

Start video
Dune: Awakening rutscht auf Steam auf 53 % positive Bewertungen ab, will es aber mit neuer Roadmap retten

A Matter of Perspective

How rich has he become from the discovery? On Reddit, the user writes about what he has found. Among it are said to be 10 crates full of resources, two working sandbikes, and he looted 100,000 Solari. In addition, he found 1,000 fuel cells, the weapon “Arens Vengeance,” and many other items needed for crafting.

He took over the base and thus secured the loot directly. He believes he is set for the rest of his days on Arrakis with the money and items. However, the community of Dune: Awakening sees it differently.

What does the community think? The players of Dune: Awakening are primarily touched by the player’s story. They are happy for him about the discovery and wish to be “new” in the game once again.

However, the loot that the player has looted will not be enough for the rest of his time, fans explain. They compare the situation to a 5-year-old who finds a hundred-euro bill and thinks he is now rich. In the adult world, however, that doesn’t mean much.

So they write on Reddit:

  • DromedarySpitz: “Ah, to be new again.”
  • TAkiha: “I remember the good old days when I thought I made it because I had 100k Solaris. The Solaris disappeared quickly.”
  • chaosphere_mk: “It’s like finding 100 dollars at age 5 and thinking you’re rich.”
  • niceshotpilot: “Congratulations on your stash! And please ignore the ‘Pfft, at MY level that’s peanuts’ comments. I would have been thrilled to find a treasure trove at your level.”
  • DryTrumpin: “That’s a good boost at your level. But everything you’ve found is peanuts compared to what you earn in the endgame. The endgame is a whole different story.”

For new players, small treasures can mean the world, while experienced pros might only yawn at amounts like 100,000 Solari. For the new player, the new expansion may only be relevant after many hours of gameplay, but for many active and former gamers, the developers will soon reveal what to expect: Dune: Awakening is about to receive its biggest patch yet and the developers will preview what awaits you

Fans have been waiting for 21 years for the return of Blade, a new series from Marvel for adults brings him back this month

Fans of Blade have been waiting for years for a proper new movie. An upcoming series showcases the antihero in action once again, and might help ease the wait for his next theater appearance.

His real name is Eric Brooks, but most probably know him by his much cooler name Blade. The antihero, who is a mix of human and vampire, has been hunting vampires since his first appearance in 1973. He is driven by his thirst for revenge, as a vampire named Deacon Frost bit Blade’s mother, leading to her death.

The character has had three solo films: Blade, Blade II, and the not-so-good Blade: Trinity. He was portrayed by Wesley Snipes, who created a comic book film icon. Blade: Trinity is already 21 years ago; the film was released in 2004.

Since then, fans have mostly been pacified: Although there was a series in 2006 called Blade: The Series, it only lasted one season. In 2012, an anime series was released, which also only had 12 episodes. There were some smaller appearances and cameos, such as in Deadpool & Wolverine, where Blade was again played by Wesley Snipes.

Most fans of the character are placing great hope in the next solo film, which was announced by Marvel in 2019. Unfortunately, the film is stuck in production hell. This means that the work on the screenplay and the film has been repeatedly delayed. The new Blade was supposed to be released in November 2023.

Marvel chief Kevin Feige recently announced to Variety that the film is still planned and that main actor Mahershala Ali is still on board. However, the project is not yet as good in quality as one would like. Similar difficulties during production were encountered with Blade: Trinity

Now, however, Marvel has introduced a new series in which Blade is once again featured. Even in the trailer, there are some pretty cool and brutal actions to see, but the first images might equally please and disappoint fans:

Bloody Zombie Action in the MCU

What kind of series is this? Marvel Zombies is a new series, but it is animated and features numerous familiar faces from the MCU. In addition to Blade, Wanda, Spider-Man, and Red Guardian appear, most of whom are voiced by the actors from the current live-action films.

The series is based on the comic series of the same name and places the world in an alternative timeline. Here, the zombie apocalypse has broken out, and most beings have been turned into zombies – even the Avengers. A group of survivors is tackling the problem, quickly dealing with the undead.

How large Blade’s actual role will be remains unclear. However, he is prominently showcased in the trailer. Interestingly, the character is not voiced by Mahershala Ali, as some may have hoped. Instead, Todd Williams takes on this job, having voiced several characters from the Marvel Universe – such as Rick Mason in the game Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

The fact that the new series offers a completely animated Blade might also disappoint some fans. However, they do get more stylish action with the character. Even the first scenes show that the series is definitely aimed at adults and does not shy away from bloody scenes.

The first season of Marvel Zombies premieres on September 24, 2025, and will contain four episodes. It will be available on Disney+. The series could be a consolation for all those eagerly waiting for the next Blade film. What do you think about it? Are you excited for the series? Feel free to tell us in the comments.

The head of Final Fantasy XIV says harsh criticism is sometimes necessary, but: “We’re human too”

At Pax West 2025, Naoki Yoshida, the Director and Producer of Final Fantasy XIV, spoke about his career, video games, and his own game. But he also talks about the harsh criticism of the current direction of his MMORPG.

What did Naoki Yoshida say? During Pax West 2025, Naoki Yoshida participated in a panel lasting just over an hour (via YouTube). At the beginning, he talks about his career, the gaming industry, and then also about Final Fantasy XIV.

Specifically, he emphasizes that player feedback is very important to him. He always tries to understand the perspective of a player. Negative criticism is also important, and he and his team try to learn from it. However, he also makes it clear:

Just one thing—like I mentioned earlier, we’re human too.

Harsh feedback is totally fine.

But when it turns into aggressive or hostile comments, those really do hurt us as people, no matter how hard we try to look at them objectively. We genuinely love making games, and even people working all around the world in the video game industry can be hurt by that. Sometimes it hurts so much that they lose the motivation to keep creating games, and as a result, good games stop being made. In the end, that means everyone loses out.

So we’d really like it if you could try to approach us more like friends. Of course, it’s absolutely okay to say something is bad when it’s bad. But outright abusive language—there are so many developers who are deeply hurt by that. If you could just take a moment to remember that before hitting the Enter key, it would mean a lot to us.

Naoki Yoshida, 30.08.2025, Pax West via YouTube, translation from Japanese via ChatGPT

Final Fantasy XIV has recently faced a lot of criticism. On the one hand, the story of the current expansion does not reach the usual level. Furthermore, new content, such as the current field exploration, is repeatedly criticized. You can read more about this under the video.

Bad story, RNG, and disabled mods

What prompted Yoshida’s statement? In 2024, Square Enix released Dawntrail, the fifth expansion for Final Fantasy XIV. Prior to that, there had been some criticism of the game, but with the DLC, the negative feedback seems to have taken over.

Here’s a selection of points that have emerged in the last 12 months:

Especially the feedback after the disabling of the Mare Synchronos mod in August 2025 lead to very upset responses from the community. Developers were repeatedly accused of not understanding that mods keep their game alive and that the disabling was an absolute misstep.

It is not yet fully known whether Square Enix is behind the disabling. Naoki Yoshida himself addressed the topic in a statement.

What is the current state of Final Fantasy XIV? In early August, Patch 7.3 for the MMORPG went live. The story of the current expansion is now complete. Overall, the update seems to impress the community again.

Just on September 2, Patch 7.31 launched the continuations for the current crafter and gatherer endgame as well as for the current relic weapons. The content is still relatively fresh. Initial community feedback is currently gathering in the official forum, among others.

Concerns have also arisen due to the announced dates for the new fan festivals for 2026. Their dates may indicate a prolonged wait for the next expansion.

Recently, Naoki Yoshida has also repeatedly stated that he hears the community’s feedback and also sees that Final Fantasy XIV is currently not as good as it could be: They have become too complacent.

Whether and how the MMORPG improves in the eyes of the community in the future remains to be seen. The basic wish of the players and their feedback seems to have reached the developers. Even if some of it has seemingly not been formulated constructively. It will also be interesting to see how the content of Patch 7.31 is received.

A series from the year 2025 makes it to the top 20 of the best anime of all time: even surpassing Jujutsu Kaisen

Every Anime season new series and seasons are released that are not only trying to be watched. On platforms like MyAnimeList, many of these series and seasons are rated. The latest season of a popular series has even made it into the top 20, overtaking classics and series like Jujutsu Kaisen.

Which series is it about? The Apothecary Diaries started as an anime in October 2023 and is based on the novel series Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, which was also adapted into a manga and light novel before the anime. The first season was well-received, and the second season will run from January 2025 to July 2025.

The series is about the apothecary Mao Mao, who works in the red-light district of a fictitious country during the Ming Dynasty. One day, she is kidnapped and sold to the imperial court. Through her knowledge and detective skills, she solves several cases in the imperial household and earns a good reputation.

This reputation seems to be quite good in reality as well, because on the platform MyAnimeList, it is currently the only series from 2025 that is represented in the top 20.

You can see the trailer for the second season here:

The Apothecary Diaries surpasses real classics and new hit series

What kind of list is this? On the platform MyAnimeList, users can rate seen anime and manga from 1 to 10 and add them to their own lists. Based on the average rating, the animes are summarized in a ranking on MyAnimeList.

The number of ratings and list entries generally doesn’t matter, but a certain minimum number of ratings is needed to be ranked in the top list. Thus, in the top 20, not only classics with many ratings are represented, but also smaller series can be found.

How is the second season of The Apothecary Diaries doing? Currently, the series is in 19th place with an average rating of 8.91 from 173,219 ratings. This allows it to surpass series like the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen (49th place with 8.73) or Cowboy Bebop (47th place with 8.75) (via MyAnimeList). However, it should be noted that the ratings for The Apothecary Diaries are still relatively low. The ranking may change.

At the top is now the fantasy series Frieren. The first season of the series has a score of 9.29 with over 721,000 ratings. Directly behind it is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood with a score of 9.10 from over 2.2 million votes.

With Gintama: The Final (5th place with 9.05) and One Piece Fan Letter (8th place with 9.03), there are also individual special episodes or anime films in the top 10 that have significantly fewer ratings.

Builds on the strengths of the first season

Why is the second season of The Apothecary Diaries rated so well? Looking at the reviews on MyAnimeList, the second season seems to build on the strengths of the first. The music and animation are praised, and the mystery/political aspect and the drama at the imperial court seem to appeal to many.

There are also negative reviews from those who were not entirely convinced by the second season and find the first better. Many of the ratings, both positive and negative, were made midway through the season.

What do you think of the series? Did it convince you as much as it did many users, or do you think it’s rated too highly? Let us know in the comments. Many action fans are probably looking forward to January 2026, as a Shonen hit continues there: Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: Release, Trailer, and Leaks of the Anime Overview

Players of Helldivers 2 complain about the new update, say: The enemies are “hellishly flawed”

Actually, the new expansion of Helldivers 2 was supposed to send players on missions into underground tunnels and fundamentally change the game. However, players are complaining about many technical issues.

What kind of expansion is this? With “Into the Unjust,” the developers of Helldivers 2 have released a new expansion for the co-op shooter that is supposed to radically change the gameplay. Instead of fighting on the surface as usual, the Helldivers are sent into underground tunnels to eliminate the eggs on the home worlds of the Terminids.

Crawling through dark caves with a touch of horror and completing difficult missions without many opportunities for reinforcements. These interesting ideas caused great excitement among fans, but shortly after the launch, technical issues led to frustration among fans.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new expansion:

Select a MMO video…

Technical issues overshadow the release

What problems are there? Players are complaining on Reddit about a multitude of technical problems. There are reports of crashes when loading missions, low FPS rates, and audio bugs that make the shrieks of the bugs literally deafening.

The improved bugs are described as “annoying to fight and hellishly flawed.” User djh2121 further explains on Reddit that the new bugs “are no fun and are not interesting to fight, unlike the bugs that are already in the game.”

Another problem is the respawns. The developers of Helldivers 2 allow for resupply in the form of Helldivers and ammunition only through small holes in the tunnels that lead up to the surface. However, when team members call their comrades underground, they reportedly get stuck in the ceiling of the cave system.

What do the developers of Helldivers 2 say about this? Already on the early evening after the release of the expansion, the first reports from players about the technical issues emerged. The developers announced shortly after the reports that they are aware of the issues and are already working on a solution. They wrote:

Attention, Helldiver!

We are aware of the issues with crashes that do NOT meet Super Earth standards and are currently working on finding solutions. We apologize for this delay and will inform you soon about the current status.

Community Manager Baskinator on Discord

Since then, there have been no official announcements. However, the community manager “Baskinator” commented again in the chats of the official Discord server, explaining that the team is working on a hotfix.

When the patch with improvements will arrive is still unclear. In the past, the developers of Helldivers 2 have always been quick to address issues. The battles in the home worlds and in the tunnel systems could change Helldivers 2 forever: Helldivers 2 launches expansion, shows scenes in the new trailer that you would only see in horror films

A YouTuber drowns his Nvidia graphics card in automatic transmission fluid to improve performance and it surprisingly works well

A YouTuber cools his graphics card with automotive oil to improve performance. While it’s a messy affair, performance increases by up to 16%.

It is not uncommon for gamers to try various techniques to cool their (gaming) hardware in order to improve performance. However, an enthusiast has come up with a particularly interesting idea:

The user submerged his graphics card, an Nvidia GTX 1060 Ti, in Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and used a car transmission cooler as a radiator. ATF is typically used in the automotive industry, not in hardware. The experiment is reported by the English-language magazine Tom’s Hardware.

In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Graphics Card in Automotive Oil Yields Up to 16% More Performance

What exactly did the user do? The YouTuber took a large plastic container, into which he placed a ROG Strix GTX 1060 that had been reduced to its circuit board and heatsink, and connected it via a PCIe riser cable to a clean motherboard outside the container. He then poured ATF over it, filling the container about halfway.

He then installed a submersible pump in the container to circulate the liquid, which was connected to an external pump that allowed for the exchange of hot ATF for cold. The heated liquid was then routed through a car transmission cooler that he used as a radiator. The cooled liquid then flows back into the plastic container to cool the graphics card again. You can watch the entire experiment directly on YouTube:

What does it all bring? Surprisingly a lot. The user conducted some benchmarks with the modified graphics card.

In various gaming and synthetic tests, he observed a constant improvement of around 10%, with the benchmark program 3DMark showing an increase of up to 16%. This was achieved partly because the graphics card constantly ran at a boost clock of 2,160 MHz, which worked well due to the good cooling.

He conducted the same experiment with a 1080 Ti as well, but the results were somewhat weaker. Here, the performance gain was a maximum of 7%.

Amazon’s large MMORPG is losing its players, new servers with special benefits aim to bring about a turnaround

Throne and Liberty is struggling to attract players to its servers. The new offer from the major September update aims to achieve this. MeinMMO reveals what is known about the Hyperboost feature set.

What is behind the Hyperboost? When the next content update is released on September 18, 2025, the so-called Hyperboost feature set will also be available on all Throne and Liberty servers. It includes a variety of bonuses designed to help newly created characters prepare for the endgame of the MMORPG. These include:

  • an increased earning rate for essential resources and materials for gear enhancement
  • special rewards through missions or completing milestones that allow players to progress faster

The Hyperboost will also see new servers for Throne and Liberty going live, where newcomers can start together and build a community under the same conditions. The drawbacks of late entry into the MMORPG should not play a role there.

Of course, returning players and veterans on the new servers also have the opportunity for a fresh start and to avoid past mistakes with their current knowledge.

Throne and Liberty: Trailer shows regions of the Wilderness of Talandre expansion

Lost Ark as a model

Why is the Hyperboost coming? Throne and Liberty has been struggling with declining player numbers since its launch on October 1, 2024. The trend has been downward for months. Even the expansion Wilderness of Talandre hasn’t been able to change this sustainably.

While Throne and Liberty was still number 1 on the list of most-played MMORPGs on Steam a few months ago, the title managed by Amazon Games in the West has now slipped to 5th place. Since the publisher was able to temporarily increase player numbers with comparable events and restart servers in Lost Ark, it’s not surprising that the Hyperboost will soon be implemented in Throne and Liberty in an adapted form.

However, the new feature has not generated much hype in the community so far. On Reddit, there are some discussions about it, but with very few comments and upvotes. Often, players of the MMORPG want to know how to efficiently leverage the Hyperboost with Twinks or whether it’s better to polish up the old character.

With the September update, many other innovations are also coming to the servers. Housing, for example, a new weapon type, fresh coop dungeons, and tier-3 equipment.

One of the biggest crises in recent years was the perfect time for trainers in Pokémon GO

On Reddit, trainers compare the current state of Pokémon GO with a few years ago. And they come to a clear conclusion.

A few years ago, a global pandemic kept the world on edge: Corona. While it changed daily life for many people overnight, brought restrictions to daily routines, and forced many employees to work from home, it also impacted Pokémon GO.

While people were urged not to leave their homes, the developers of Pokémon GO had to respond. After all, the game is primarily played outdoors and not from home.

On Reddit, some trainers compare the state of Pokémon GO back then with the current state of the game. And they come to a clear conclusion.

Raids for Everyone

What did the post creator find better in the past? In the post on Reddit, which has now received over 4,600 upvotes, the state of the game in 2021 is compared to the current state. The post creator lists the following points:

2021:

  • Remote Raid Pass for 100 coins
  • 3 Remote Raid Passes for 250 coins
  • 1 Remote Raid Pass per week for 1 coin
  • No limit for remote raids
  • 20% chance to receive a legendary Pokémon as a reward in the battle league
  • Incense attracted a Pokémon every 40 seconds, even without movement
  • Community Days lasted 6 hours
  • Event Pokémon made up the majority of spawns in the wild

2025:

  • Events every weekend, short duration, at specific locations to create FOMO (“Fear of missing out”)
  • Previously free event content now hidden behind tickets that must be bought with real money
  • Rising prices
  • Spawns in the wild are so thinned out that it’s hard to hunt specific monsters

Especially the cheap remote raid passes available back then often lead to nostalgic comments in the Pokémon GO community. Nowadays, a single remote raid pass costs a hefty 195 coins, while the 3-pack is available for 525 coins.

What does the community say about it? Besides the high number of upvotes, there are also some comments under the post that agree with the creator or mention other points that have worsened over time.

  • “Man, I just want to go back to the days when we received legendary monsters through our research breakthroughs,” writes DarthDeimos6624
  • “I wish remote raid passes were easier to obtain,” says comicrun96
  • “I agree with you. Especially since there are too many events,” comments DaLordOfDarkness
  • “We had it so good back then. You could play whenever you wanted, and all content was available to everyone everywhere,” says Entire_Pineapple4732 as well.
  • “Niantic has ‘ruined’ the game in the long term. There was absolutely nothing forcing them to ‘realize their vision’ by reversing the COVID changes. They made more money during COVID and players were happier,” writes the post creator, Foulmouth232

Not only does the time of Corona represent a significantly better time for some trainers than what they have today in Pokémon GO. MeinMMO author Paul Kutzner misses a time in the game that dates back even further than the Corona period: The best time of Pokémon GO will never return.

5 major enemies in World of Warcraft that we have not yet defeated

Before peace can finally reign in World of Warcraft, 5 enemies still need to be dealt with. We reveal who these main villains are.

With the end of the World Soul saga, Blizzard wants to tell smaller stories again – at least that is the current plan. However, before that can happen, the greatest threats must first be dealt with. Many of them we have already defeated throughout the expansions. Some notable enemies include the Lich King, the Old Gods, Gul’dan, and the Burning Legion.

But before we can settle in Housing and enjoy smaller stories again, like a bandit uprising of the resurgent Defias or small cells of a necromancer cult, a few gigantic enemies must first be dealt with.

In this article, we present to you 5 major enemies we must blow out the lights of in the future to save Azeroth in the long term.

Sargeras

Sargeras is one of the most original and well-known enemies of Warcraft. He was the great evil that lay behind the Burning Legion in Warcraft 3 and controlled it until the WoW expansion Legion – but that is no longer the case.

WoW Sargeras Stab the world titel title 1280x720
Sargeras had a very brief appearance – and was then imprisoned.

Although many suspected in advance that the fallen Titan Sargeras would also be defeated at the end of Legion, it turned out a bit differently. Because there was no epic final battle against Sargeras himself. Instead, we fought against the corrupted World Soul of Argus and were afterwards witnesses to how the freed Pantheon of Titans channeled their power to imprison Sargeras – just in time after he drove his gigantic sword into the crust of the planet Azeroth.

However, Sargeras was not defeated. He is only imprisoned, along with Illidan Stormrage, who is – or so the current assumption goes – in an eternal battle against Sargeras.

This means that while the Burning Legion has lost its unifying leader and the armies are scattered in the Twisting Nether, the danger posed by Sargeras is only temporarily averted.

Sooner or later, the burning Titan will break free from his prison, and then we will need to find a permanent solution for him if Azeroth is to have a peaceful future.

A fan brings one of the most absurd mods for Elden Ring and lets you visit a famous location from Elder Scrolls

Mods offer players many ways to enhance games for free. However, one fan has taken it too far and is releasing a project for Elden Ring that merges two completely different games.

Which fan are we talking about? It is the YouTuber and famous modder InfernoPlus. In the past, he has ported well-known weapons from Halo into Dark Souls, making them look and work as accurately as possible. He is known for taking on absurd projects that are not lore-friendly but definitely fun.

Now the modder has turned to a new project where he wanted to merge two well-known games. The goal was to surpass everything he has achieved in his career as a modder so far.

Morrowind has a gigantic map and Dark Souls 1 is not designed to handle such a large amount of data – an alternative had to be found, so the YouTuber chose Elden Ring as his foundation.

  • The map requires NevMash for NPCs to logically traverse the terrain. NevMash is an invisible data grid located under the map that NPCs need for pathfinding. However, InfernoPlus does not have the tools to generate such NevMashes.
  • The modder needs some 3D designers, as he wants to port items like weapons and armor as well as enemies from Morrowind onto the map. He has tried himself, but the result shows clothing with pixelated graphics, and he does not want to offer that.

Even with the Halo mod, InfernoPlus received help from the modding community. It is therefore very likely that he will also get assistance from talented developers this time around.

How would you feel about such a mod? Would a port like this be a reason for you to revisit Elden Ring, or do you find such crossovers inappropriate?

Dead by Daylight changes forever how killers must play the game

For Dead by Daylight, big changes are coming. The most successful killer tactics will no longer be effective in the future.

Those who play Dead by Daylight know that frustration and joy are often only paper-thin apart. Whether you encounter a killer who plays “fair” or one who tunnels the entire time often determines whether you enjoy the game or wish you had never started it.

However, “tunneling” and “slugging” are two things that apparently bother the developers as well – therefore, they will be addressed in Patch 9.2.0 and prevented or penalized in various ways.

Start video
Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s brings the animatronic

What is “slugging” and “tunneling”? In Dead by Daylight, the two terms have a fixed meaning but are often used derogatorily by survivors when criticizing the killer’s playstyle.

  • “Slugging” means deliberately downing one or more survivors without hooking them. This way, the victims must be healed by other survivors while they can only crawl slowly on the ground – like a slug.
  • “Tunneling” refers to the act of repeatedly targeting one survivor while ignoring all other survivors. The goal is to reduce the number of survivors as quickly as possible by fully focusing on individual opponents and ignoring everything else – essentially a “tunnel vision”.

Both practices have been criticized for some time. From a killer’s perspective, they are highly efficient, but they can make matches very one-sided or boring very quickly.

Those who tunnel strengthen the survivors

What changes with tunneling? Killers can no longer see the hook status of a survivor when hooking them, and they are not informed when a survivor is rescued from the hook. This does not apply during the endgame collapse, where this information remains.

Additionally, rescued survivors receive some temporary bonuses when they are rescued from the hook:

  • Speed (Faster movement)
  • Endurance (Can take a hit without going down)
  • Transitory (Prevents pain screams, aura reveals, blood pools, and scratch marks)
  • No collision with other players (killers and survivors)
  • Immunity to killer instinct
  • Can see the killer’s aura nearby.

The effects disappear immediately once the survivor performs a suspicious action – such as working on a generator. However, the effects will also disappear on their own after a few seconds. Additionally, these bonuses are no longer granted (except speed and endurance) once the last generator is repaired.

Furthermore, there is another system because:

  • If a survivor completely dies before there have been a total of 6 hook status changes in the game, all survivors receive a bonus to repair speed for the remainder of the match.
  • If the survivor who was last hooked is then sacrificed or killed (Mori) by the killer, generators in this match can no longer regress or be blocked.
Dead by Daylight Perks Survivor title 1280x720

To balance these new survivor advantages, killers also receive some new incentives to hunt different survivors. If they hook a “unique” survivor – that is, one different from the previous one – then the following advantages apply:

  • The next kicked generator suffers additional damage.
  • Temporary speed effect (faster movement)
  • Other survivors who have been hooked less or the same number of times will be briefly displayed as an aura

These bonuses also no longer apply once the last generator is repaired.

What changes with slugging? If survivors remain in the “dying” state (lying on the ground) for more than 90 seconds without being picked up, they gain the ability to pick themselves up for the rest of the match. Additionally, survivors on the ground will move faster over time, allowing them to reach allies who can help them up more quickly. Furthermore, survivors can now regenerate while moving on the ground – which was previously only possible with a perk.

For killer fans, this means they may need to come up with new strategies in some cases, and a variety of perks will also be revised. It remains to be seen how the feedback from the test server will pan out, whether the changes have the desired effects, or whether the developers will have to return to the drawing board and explore other solutions.
If you are still unsure which of the many killers you should start your journey with, we have introduced all the killers in Dead by Daylight and revealed which one suits you.

Ein Bürgermeister aus den Philippinen macht fürchterlichen Hardware-Deal, kauft 16 PCs für 150.000 Euro

A mayor from the Philippines has upgraded the IT equipment of the municipal administration and has paid way too much for it. His successor has now made the bad deal public.

What did the mayor buy? Outdated IT systems are not only present in German authorities but also in a municipal administration in the Philippines. The former mayor Darwin Bajada wanted to modernize his administration and purchased 16 new PCs and a server for the administration.

That sounds progressive only at first glance – it becomes absurd when considering the price. He spent 10 million Philippine pesos for the 16 computers and the server – the equivalent of about 150,000 euros. According to the website early.app, the average income in the country is about 353,000 Philippine pesos, which is about 5,000 euros.

The former mayor has therefore invested the annual salaries of 30 employees into the new IT equipment. This is completely exaggerated – especially considering the hardware installed.

He created a legendary game, but didn’t get paid for it – Today he’s still a millionaire

3-year-old hardware

What was installed? The computers, which according to a packing list (via PCGamer) were purchased by the former mayor in 2024, have Intel processors of the 11th generation. This is the generation that was current in 2021. The remaining hardware likely corresponds to this standard as well.

In addition to the computers, there were also new keyboards, mice, and monitors for the employees. According to research by PCGamer, these devices have a total value of about 10,300 euros for all workplaces combined.

The server is at least almost state-of-the-art. According to the new mayor, Sally Lopez, it consists of an Intel i9 14th generation CPU, 32 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a 10 TB HDD. However, this does not justify the high price either.

In summary, it is clear: The hardware is not worth the price by any means, especially for Philippine conditions.

What does the new mayor say about the purchase? Modernizing the municipal administration is a commendable endeavor for the predecessor. But if the technology costs about as much as employing all employees for two years, then it smells like trouble.

Accordingly, the new mayor Sally Lopez expresses her dismay over her predecessor’s purchase on Facebook: “The price is too high, and it hasn’t even been tested whether it works or not, but the former mayor Bajada has already paid for it.”

The fact that the expensive IT infrastructure was paid for in advance without being tested and has cost the municipal administration a lot of money also annoys many users on Facebook. Citizens react in disbelief – some joke about it, while others are angry that so much money was wasted.

Many people wish for a modern workplace, but if it costs about two annual salaries, the joy fades quickly. Overpriced hardware purchases are not solely a political problem – gamers sometimes also pay heavily: “You weren’t cheated, you just bought garbage” – Gamer invests 1,000 euros in a new gaming PC because he is too impatient

Twitch streamer NoWay sees a great advantage in the new control of LoL, believes: “Simplifies the learning process”

Riot is currently testing a new control scheme for League of Legends. On the test servers, players can now experience a different way to play LoL. Many are wondering how significant the change will be for the game. Twitch streamer NoWay sees it as a big advantage.

What is this new control scheme? In mid-August, Riot announced in a developer video that they plan to introduce a new control scheme using WASD. You would control the character with the keys instead of the mouse. This is intended to be introduced as an optional way of playing to simplify the entry for newcomers.

You can already test the control scheme on the PBE, the test server of LoL. Many streamers and professionals have already looked at the feature, including NoWay. Although he was initially unsure about how strong the new control scheme would be, he is now fairly confident: the WASD control will help newcomers.

Learn more about NoWay here:

Riot wants to attract newcomers and not push them away

What does NoWay say about the WASD control scheme? In a YouTube clip on his channel Variety4u, the streamer spoke about the new control scheme and his thoughts on it. He clarifies upfront: The new control scheme is a necessary and important step that would lower the entry barrier of the game. It simplifies the learning process, it simplifies certain mechanics at a low level.

He also does not believe that the new control scheme will be unfair. While there are champions like Kog’Maw or Jinx who could benefit from optimal kiting made possible by the control scheme, this would not apply to most. Riot would balance champions who truly benefit from it with an artificial delay. They have already confirmed this themselves.

According to NoWay, the feature is oriented towards newcomers, who they also want to attract with a new dynamic camera. LoL is like other MOBAs incredibly overloaded and difficult to play and learn. This is a significant problem for the game, and at the same time, it is essential to bring new players into the game. He even believes that mouse and keyboard will continue to be the stronger inputs.

NoWay compares the control scheme to the modern controls of Street Fighter 6. There, a simplified control scheme enables beginners to perform skills and combos without complicated inputs. However, they cannot execute all moves of a character. The control scheme in Street Fighter allows beginners to have fun without much training time. Basic mechanics must still be learned.

Overall, NoWay believes that LoL is currently doing a lot right to make life easier for new players. Smurfs are still an issue that he believes needs to be addressed.

Is what NoWay says true? Even if you are a large online game, it is important to attract new players. This leads to more revenue and revitalizes the community. Attracting newcomers is quite challenging for a MOBA, and Riot’s approaches are good. As NoWay says in the video, in the end, you just have to wait and see.

LoL is a complex game, and a new control scheme can affect not only individual champions; you never know what secret mechanics players might discover. For regular players, not much is likely to change; however, in the professional area, it will be seen whether players embrace the new control scheme or stick to the old ways.

A free anime game relies on pretty versions of historical figures, which managed to earn 44 million euros last month

Free mobile games and so-called gacha games make an incredible amount of money. Even old titles are at the top. A 10-year-old anime game has now even managed to surpass Pokémon TCG Pocket.

Which game is it? Fate/Grand Order was originally released in Japan in 2015, with the English version coming out only in 2017 in some countries. German players only got to start in 2022. As in the well-known anime series, you summon so-called servants as a Master to succeed in turn-based battles. The servants are available as loot in a gacha system. You can pull in banners and have a chance at certain characters.

The servants are historical and mythical figures that are widely known. These include Arthur from the Excalibur legend or Caesar and Leonardo da Vinci. The characters are categorized into classes and interpreted very freely.

For example, Arthur is a pretty swordswoman and Leonardo da Vinci is a young mage. There are also event skins in bikinis. The creative director of Marvel Rivals recently commented on their bikini skins.

Although Fate/Grand is quite old, the game still seems to be pretty popular, as the free RPG managed to earn over $51 million (about 44 million euros) in August. This allowed it to surpass Pokémon TCG Pocket (via GACHAREVENUE).

You can see a trailer for the game here:

Start video
Fate/Grand Order: The trailer for the mobile game with historical figures

Event boosts revenue, catapults the game to number 1

How are the revenues compared to other games? The website GACHAREVENUE summarizes the revenues and downloads of various gacha games based on the figures from Sensor Tower. In August 2025, Fate/Grand Order achieved $51,780,000 (about €44,432,000) rank one. The previous month, it only reached rank eight with just under $27 million.

In that month, the game was able to surpass Pokémon TCG Pocket ($50 million) and Love and Deepspace ($42 million). MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski wrote about Love and Deepspace recently.

Well-known titles like Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact only made it to spots 5 and 6. According to the Japanese website 4gamer.net, Fate/Grand Order was able to consistently place its earnings in the top 10 of mobile games in Japan between 2015 and 2024.

Where are the suddenly high revenues coming from? As The Gamer reports, there was a summer event in August that featured many activities and bonuses. Additionally, a new story and the free character Cnoc Na Riabh were introduced to the game.

A long runtime also has the advantage that players are attached to the game because they have invested a lot of money or time.

Gacha games are often criticized, and one should be cautious. Although the games are free, they often rely on opaque currencies and psychological tricks to get you to spend money. Investing money often makes the game easier, depending on how difficult it is.

If you are susceptible to such systems and gambling mechanics, you should rather avoid the game. If you are affected by gambling addiction or have questions about it, we have linked you to resources:

Fate/Grand Order is not only part of a large franchise with various animes and games; new characters regularly make their way into the game, based on real people. This was also the case in June. A new character caused the sales of a 700-year-old book to spike: The sales of a 700-year-old book suddenly rise because its author is part of an anime game

Helldivers 2 is launching an expansion, shows scenes in the new trailer that resemble those from horror movies.

The new expansion of Helldivers 2 has launched. This brings the war to the home worlds of the bugs. Even the trailer promises: It will be dark, gloomy, and dangerous.

What kind of expansion is this? With “Into the Unjust”, Helldivers 2 received its latest expansion on September 2. The Helldivers are dispatched to attack the bugs where it hurts the most: on their home worlds. These have changed not only superficially but also underground due to the long reign of the Terminites.

Now the Helldivers must climb into new tunnels where they will fight against new and improved enemies with limited resources and in complete darkness. This resembles more of a horror movie than the typical battles of soldiers.

Here you can see the creepy trailer of the expansion:

Helldivers 2 shows the new expansion “Into the Unjust” in the trailer and takes players deep underground

New expansion changes the gameplay experience

What distinguishes the expansion? While past expansions primarily brought new enemies and locations alongside the story, the developers have come up with something entirely different this time.

“Into the Unjust” completely changes the gameplay of Helldivers 2. While before, firepower was often the right way to achieve success, the co-op shooter is now becoming increasingly tactical. The group must choose between lighter weapons with flashlights and heavy weapons without light.

Reinforcements from the surface are also available only through small holes connected to the surface. Therefore, ammunition must be managed even more carefully.

Through the new environment and the different way of playing Helldivers 2, the developers are changing more than usual about what makes the game. The trailer has already stirred many emotions among fans.

What do fans say about the trailer? The new trailer is intentionally different from the previous announcements of Helldivers 2. Fans are celebrating the new dark setting and the trailer on YouTube:

  • Korrimba5726: “I didn’t expect the trailer to be edited like a horror movie. This is the best trailer so far.”
  • SevenInSoft: “Reminds me of Xenomorph, guys.”
  • Drenamow: “Whoever is responsible for these trailers, give them a raise.”
  • kagudarzell4571: “I love that, no matter how serious the trailers look, there’s always a bit of comedy.”

With the new trailer, the Helldivers now know what to expect in the deep caves of the bug worlds. For the Xbox Divers, this excursion is likely to be particularly tough. They have only recently been able to play Helldivers 2: Brave heroes from Over-Earth believe Helldivers 2 has ended the rivalry between PS5 and Xbox with its new trailer

These legendary weapons will be in Borderlands 4

In Borderlands 4 you will once again be able to collect various legendary weapons. A few are already known – at least partially. MeinMMO presents them to you.

What kind of weapons are these? We are collecting all legendary weapons that have been introduced by Gearbox Software or established online magazines. Sometimes only the legendary perks of the respective weapons are known, and sometimes we only know their names.

The article was first published on September 2 and will be continuously updated. As soon as more legendary weapons and their properties are known, we will add the information to this article. It is also possible that the already listed weapons may change before the final release.

Previously Confirmed Legendary Weapons from Borderlands 4

Forsaken Chaos

What kind of weapon is this? Forsaken Chaos is a legendary weapon whose name was determined by a community vote (via X). Each participant voted for a word that was to become part of the name later. In the final, “Forsaken” competed against “Exile.” The winner represents the first half of the name. The second half should consist of either “Havoc” or “Chaos.”

Shortly before the release of Borderlands 4, players will have the opportunity to secure the Forsaken Chaos for free.

The perks and the weapon type of the firearm are not yet known.

World of Tanks releases version 2.0, enticing with huge gifts: But who is it worth getting into?

World of Tanks is a classic in the gaming world, and with Update 2.0, there is again a reason to take a look after all these years. Gifts are meant to sweeten your start, but for whom is the return/the entry worth it?

What changes with Update 2.0? World of Tanks is supposed to receive a completely new look on September 3, 2025, with Update 2.0. The most important change is Tier 11 in your research branch. This introduces 16 new tanks that you can unlock with XP and purchase for credits. More are expected to follow in the future.

Visually, a lot has changed, as the garage has been transformed into a huge warehouse with production centers, painting stations, and display areas. You will also receive a new interface and soundtracks.

Rebalance should also be an important point on the list, as all tanks have been adjusted to successfully defend against top-tier options in combat – of course, they are not the best in combat, but they are no longer bad either.

In addition to the changes, there are:

  • A significant adjustment of matchmaking to ensure fairness
  • A single-player mission in a new area
  • New personal mission
  • New map
  • Sniper mode has a highlight effect that shows you with color where your tank penetration is most effective
  • Tanks sound more realistic due to new sounds
  • There are new events on 4 different maps

To make the return or entry worth it, Wargaming has decided to give away many items and currencies.

Start video
World of Tanks PS4 Gameplay Trailer

Generous gifts, but can the update convince?

What gifts are there? In total, you can expect 4 large gifts, which are:

  • A branch of the research tree fully leveled up and purchased between levels 6 – 10
    • (Newcomers receive two branches)
  • A large amount of currencies
    • Experienced commanders receive:
      • 10,000,000 credit points
      • 15,000 bonds
      • 2,500 gold
      • 50 retraining orders
    • New commanders receive:
      • 6,000,000 credit points
      • Tiger 131 (tank)
      • Škoda T 40 (tank)
      • TYPE 64 (tank)
      • IS-2 gun (tank)
      • Rental vehicles of tier 8
      • Rental vehicles of tier 11
      • Package with standard equipment
  • A collection of items for XP and more
    • Universal manual
    • 60-day WoT premium playtime
    • 5x XP missions
    • 3x crew missions for XP
    • 2D style (paint)
    • Medal for Update 2.0
    • Missions for more XP
  • Players who already own everything will receive a special banner, medal, and badge for their collection

What does the community say about the update? Enthusiasm is limited, as even though the rewards appear generous at first glance, the changes awaiting you in Update 2.0 are not groundbreaking.

On Steam, fans express their opinions on this and believe that the update is not for newcomers or casual players. The tanks at Tier 11 are nice, but newcomers would not have the time to unlock them. It would take a lot of effort and currency to get them.

The new UI is also terrible, as it reminds players of mobile games. Finally, the matchmaking adjustments sound interesting, but do not address the core of the problem.

Matches should become more balanced by selecting and limiting the individual tank tiers, but the system currently does not take player skill into account. This means that you may find yourself thrown into a group full of experts as a newcomer, who will easily destroy your tank.

If you are not discouraged by this, feel free to take a look. The game is free, as are the gifts you can pick up. You will have until October to collect them. If you still do not like the game, you can uninstall it without any regrets.

Pokémon GO brings you back one of the strongest attackers in the game for 2 days

In Pokémon GO, you will soon have the chance to obtain additional specimens of one of the strongest attackers in the game. We will show you when that will be.

Legendary Shadow Monsters are some of the rarest and strongest attackers in Pokémon GO. Several times a year, Team GO Rocket returns with their leader Giovanni, who brings a new legendary Shadow Monster to each Rocket event. Next up is Shadow Tornadus.

After some time, Shadow Monsters that could previously be captured from Giovanni will also become available in Shadow Raids. This is now the case for the upcoming legendary monster.

Shadow Groudon Returns

What kind of Pokémon is this? This Pokémon is Shadow-Groudon, the legendary Ground Monster from Generation 3. In this event, you will also have the opportunity to obtain this Pokémon as shiny for the first time. Until now, you could only get the monster once from Giovanni.

The event thus represents the first opportunity to acquire additional specimens of the Pokémon and significantly strengthen your raid team.

When will the monster be available? As part of a Shadow Raid weekend, you can challenge and catch Groudon in its Shadow form in Shadow Raids. The event starts on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 6:00 AM and runs until Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 10:00 PM.

On both days, you can also receive an additional free raid pass at gyms. This means that on both Saturday and Sunday, you will have the chance to obtain 2 raid passes to challenge Shadow-Groudon.

How strong is the monster? In its Shadow variant, Groudon is among the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO of the Ground type. It is only surpassed by Primal Groudon and Mega Garchomp. The optimal moveset for Shadow-Groudon consists of the moves Mud Shot and Precipice Blades.

In addition to the Shadow weekend with Groudon, there are many more events happening in Pokémon GO in September. If you want an overview of all events and content, we have the perfect guide for you: all events in September 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Fans of Twitch streamer are puzzled by her tips on fire safety, only to be enlightened in a later video

The Twitch streamer Blaire “QTCinderella” confused her fans with a video she uploaded on TikTok. In it, she talks about tips for fire safety in the kitchen, initially without any context it seems.

What tips does QTCinderella offer? In a TikTok video, the Twitch streamer seemingly out of nowhere and without any context, gives tips on what to do if there is a fire in the kitchen. She advises to stay calm, cut off the fire from further oxygen supply, and call the emergency number if the fire is too large.

She further states that if the fire could be extinguished by oneself, baking soda would be a good option to smother the fire. Here she emphasizes that one should not use flour. Finally, she stresses that one should listen to their gut feeling and it is better to call the emergency number once too many than once too few, and that a fire extinguisher is probably the best recommendation.

QTCinderella is a prominent Twitch streamer internationally. We present to you the most important female streamers on German Twitch:

Community seems confused: The comments under the TikTok seem confused, as the Twitch streamer posted the video without any context beforehand.

  • NealiD writes: “My question is, what inspired you to make this video? Is there a clip to go along with it?”
  • Jerell knows there must be context: “I watched the entire video without any context… but I know the context is missing.”
  • MegaLink has a feeling that something happened: “Okay, so what happened 5-10 minutes before the recording of this video? I feel like this video came out of something.”

What is behind it? That QTCinderella suddenly gives tips for kitchen fire safety while baking is of course no coincidence, but her fans will only be informed in a later video. Here we see on TikTok a clip from her past baking stream in which her oven catches fire.

The Twitch streamer appears very nervous – she is not following her first tip – and initially does not really know what to do. She runs out of the frame to get a box of flour to extinguish the fire. But she doesn’t need to use it, as the fire is already out because it couldn’t burn further due to lack of oxygen.

She would have been better off not using the flour, but rather baking soda, just as she mentioned in her fire safety video.

If a fire breaks out, it can become dangerous quickly. Helpful tips and sensible recommendations can be found, among others, on the official Malteser website or at the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance.

Here the community finds the context they were looking for. Some cannot help but leave a cheeky comment, such as Isaac: “I saw this TikTok video on fire safety by a woman named Blaire. You should definitely check it out to prevent something like this from happening again.”

The baking and cooking streams of QTCinderella are so popular that the Twitch streamer already set a speedrun live on the platform. However, this caused quite a stir within the community, leading to a rule change: Twitch streamer QTCinderella breaks speedrun records with cookies, causing chaos in the community.
