Twitch streamer Gronkh also seemed pleased, perhaps it was due to the loot that he was showered with.

“Is this intentional?”
How is Gronkh inundated with items? In a room, Gronkh discovers a chest that he opens. Not only a few items drop to the floor, but a whole bunch. So many that Gronkh can watch the animations for a few seconds.
He asks with an uncertain laugh: “Is this intentional?”, and later: “Did I find something I shouldn’t have?” (Source: gronkh.tv).
Due to the many items, Gronkh has to rummage through them and choose which ones he wants to equip immediately and which ones he wants to sell to the nearby merchants. This is very tedious because he has to click and inspect each item individually. Overall, this takes 20 minutes, only then he can continue with the gameplay.

What’s behind it? The many items are a bug. The chat makes the Twitch streamer aware of this. One chatter writes that only one blue item was found for him.
After that, Gronkh fears that his character will soon be left without items if the game notices that these are “bug items.” However, this does not happen in the following course, which means that the Twitch streamer has gotten away with a fair bit of luck.
Patch 11.2 of World of Warcraft features many new and extraordinary mounts. We will tell you which ones you can easily farm.
A new patch in World of Warcraft always means that there is much to discover. However, after completing the story, most players look for the special rewards. Few items are as impressive as a fancy new mount that will allow you to stomp through the history of Azeroth (and other worlds).

WoW Patch 11.2 Spirits of K’aresh – The Threat of Dimensius
Even on the destroyed planet K’aresh, the setting for Patch 11.2 Spirits of K’aresh, there are plenty of mounts to be gained. We will show you 3 of these mounts that can be obtained with little effort and are nice additions to your collection.
Searing Voidcrab
The Voidcrab is somewhat reminiscent of the Zerg in StarCraft. Image source: wowhead
The “Searing Voidcrab” is one of the easiest mounts to acquire in Patch 11.2. You just need to complete the campaign enough to unlock weekly activities.
After that, you can accept a weekly quest from Shad’anis, completion of which rewards you with 7 “Unbound Coins.” You need exactly these 7 to buy the mount from Shad’anis.
Alternatively, you could spend the coins on transmog, battle pets, or toys. You receive new coins each week, allowing you to collect all rewards fairly quickly.
You can find Shad’anis at the coordinates 50 / 36 – that’s the small island in the northwest where you first used phase diving.
Pearl Krolusk
Krolusks have existed in many forms – but now there’s a lovely white one. Image source: wowhead
You will need even less effort for the Pearl Krolusk, but you will need a bit of luck.
The Pearl Krolusk drops from the rare enemy “Urmag.” You can find it on K’aresh at the coordinates 70 / 50, just southeast of the oasis. Please note that you must be in “phase diving” mode to see Urmag at all. This means you must have completed the campaign as much as possible to gain access to phase diving.
The drop chance is approximately 7%, and Urmag has a relatively short respawn time of just a few minutes. If you are unlucky with your first character, you can log onto a second character and try your luck again.
Phase-Lost Shaleback
The Shaleback requires a lot of farming – but it’s simple. Image source: wowhead
The “Phase-Lost Shaleback” requires a bit more work, as you will need to farm for quite a while. The most important requirement is that you have already unlocked phase diving and upgraded your Reshii Wraps to at least level 2.
Once that’s done, you can discover small energy orbs during phase diving, which appear at various points across K’aresh. When you touch these orbs – that is, simply walk through them – there is a good chance of about 20% that you will unlock a transmog model of a weapon you do not yet own.
In total, there are 28 of these transmog templates available through the orbs. Once you have all 28 templates, you will receive the achievement “Phases Found and Lost,” which then unlocks the Phase-Lost Shaleback!
A tip: As soon as you can upgrade your Reshii Wraps to level 3, this achievement will become significantly easier. Because then all enemies during phase diving have a chance to also leave an orb that contains a potential reward. This speeds up the process considerably. So wait another week if possible until the upgrade is possible.
The deep desert remains a constant topic in the community of Dune: Awakening. To illustrate the criticism of the endgame zone, more and more players are turning to vivid examples from film and television.
What are players criticizing about the deep desert? The endgame zone of Dune: Awakening has been receiving criticism since the launch.
Dune: Awakening presents new action-packed trailer for the release of the game
“There’s not even crap here, Sir”
How do players express this criticism? With comparisons and memes to well-known films and series. It often revolves around how much the player experience in the deep desert differs from the previous, very enjoyable gameplay phase.
TacoFoxx21 illustrates this difference on Reddit by paraphrasing a well-known dialogue from Pirates of the Caribbean, which discusses the pirate qualities of Jack Sparrow. In response to James Norrington’s statement, “You are the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of,” Jack cheekily replies, “But you have heard of me.”
When applied to Dune: Awakening, it translates to: “This is the worst game I’ve ever played.” => “But you’ve played it for over 200 hours.”

Kiad4ko makes another comparison in his response on Reddit: “Game of Thrones Season 1 to 7: 90 percent. Game of Thrones Season 8: 50 percent. If you serve the best 5-course menu of all time and end it with a pile of crap on a silver platter, you can’t expect a Michelin star.”
As film fans, we also appreciate the meme comparison from rddtltr on Reddit. Here we see a well-known scene from Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs, in which Lord Helmet’s troops literally comb through the desert.
Despite the motivated use of combs, the search result was: “There’s not even crap here, Sir.” rddtltr wishes to make clear how frustrating it feels to farm solo in the deep desert.

How does the community react to the comparisons? Among all the posts with many comments and upvotes.
FRossJohnson comments on the “Pirates of the Caribbean” comparison on Reddit: “If you want to laugh, look at the reviews for games like Grim Dawn or Path of Exile. You will find negative reviews from people with 3,000 hours of playtime.”
Aggressive_Back3675 comments on the comparison with GoT on Reddit: “You are very kind to Seasons 5 to 7, but you make an excellent point nonetheless.”
statistacktic praises the Spaceballs comparison on Reddit: “Great gif and great movie.”
xyphon0010 also criticizes the solo experience on Reddit: “The amount of these resources in the PvE zone is a joke, and players tend to build bases over these deposits and lock them down. This forces one to go into the PvP zone and risk being ambushed.”
Some players wish the developers had released the deep desert only after it could be properly tested. Others wish for the provision of pure PvE servers or private servers like in Conan Exiles, where one can adjust the rules to their liking. What do you think?
One of Batman’s greatest treasures is, like many heroes, his secret identity. However, for the villains, this is not always relevant; if it is revealed, it could lead to even more problems for them.
What happens if someone discovers Batman’s identity? In most stories, whether comics, movies, or series, hardly anyone knows that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne. However, in Batman No. 150 from September 2024, a regular criminal finds out.
He wants to make a big score, but a supervillain does not want to know this at all and has a good reason for it.
Start video
Batman: The Enemy Within liefert euch eine packende Geschichte rund um den Superhelden
Two-Face does not want to publish it
What is the reason? In the comic, the criminal Teddy Critchley breaks into Bruce Wayne’s place. There, he accidentally discovers that Wayne is actually Batman. Subsequently, he plans to sell this information to supervillains. His first customer is Two-Face.
However, it turns out that Two-Face already knows who Batman is. He does not want to publish the information. On the one hand, he admires the duality of the two sides as someone who also struggles with it. On the other hand, he does not want Batman to have to choose a side.
He further elaborates and explains: A pure Bats would destroy us all (via Screen Rant). According to Two-Face, he would then become a ruthless monster. It is good for both sides if his identity remains a secret.
The Joker is also not interested in discovering who Batman is. In several stories, the Joker has already shown that he does not care who Batman is. In the game Arkham City, the Joker has the chance to take off his mask, but he chooses not to because then the fun would be lost.
In the comedy series Harley Quinn, the Joker captures Batman together with Scarecrow, and Scarecrow takes off his mask. The Joker then gets upset and confronts Scarecrow. He says: Half the fun is the mystery. Now I know that Batman is just a rich asshole with parental issues (via YouTube). Even though this is meant more as a joke, it shows well the relationship between the Joker and Batman.
Pokémon GO can also cause frustration. A trainer on Reddit reports this, who has an annoying rival at work.
If you want to earn coins in Pokémon GO without spending real money, you primarily have only one option: the gyms. If you place monsters in gyms, they earn one coin every 10 minutes for you. You can thus receive a maximum of 50 coins per day and get them as soon as your monsters return from the gym.
It can indeed be frustrating when a Pokémon that you just placed in a gym returns to you right away. A trainer on Reddit can sing a song about that.

“Let their Pokémon rot in the gym forever”
What does the dispute look like? As the trainer reports, he works in an agency. There is also a gym there. His problem: he is not the only trainer working in this agency who wants to use this gym. And his rival is not only from another team but is very active as well.
Once the trainer occupies the gym, his Pokémon is thrown out again in no time. His rival then places a Snorlax, one of the best defenders in the game, in the gym. In addition, the Snorlax is continuously healed with golden Razz Berries, leading to an endless battle.
This means that the trainer has no way to earn coins in this gym. While there are gyms where different teams have found good solutions without fixed arrangements so that everyone can earn their coins, the trainer ends up empty-handed.
What does the community say? The community gives the frustrated trainer various suggestions on how he could behave in this situation to annoy his rival. Under his post on Reddit, you can find among others the following comments:
“Stop battling for the gym. You’re giving 50 coins and getting nothing for it. Maybe after a while when she doesn’t get any coins herself, she’ll let you get some,” writes Amaina.
“Yes, let her monsters rot in the gym forever and don’t fight against them. Suddenly, she stops getting daily coins and her monsters get stuck. That sounds like pretty good revenge to me,” says highesthouse.
“Take it just before a raid starts so you at least have a bit of time to get something,” notes Illustrious_Hat3467.
“After you defeat the gym, wait about 20 minutes before placing a Pokémon. It will stay gray so she can’t place any Pokémon. Just waste her time,” writes StreetTriple675.
“You have 30 seconds to place Pokémon first after winning the last battle. The previous team has a waiting time of 10 minutes before it can return,” adds MattGeddon regarding the strategy of the previous comment.
The current month is packed with events again. In addition to the big dual event Darkness and Dyna Finale, there are many other contents coming up in the next weeks. If you want to know what they are, feel free to take a look at our overview with all events in August 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Would you farm a pet multiple times in your chosen MMORPG that has a drop chance of only 0.00143 percent? And that even if there is no achievement or other benefit? Well, one player has not only done it, but for him, the grind has gone “a little“ out of control.
Which pet is it? It is a beaver pet from Old School RuneScape. You can obtain it with a certain chance when you use your woodcutting skill. On average, you need to process a smooth 72,321 logs to get one beaver. This results in a drop chance of 0.00143 percent.
With such numbers, it seems certain that many long-time players of the MMORPG classic have never seen one or never more than one or two beavers. However, one certain West Stairs has seen a lot of these pets and welcomed his 193rd beaver into his pet collection on August 3, 2025 (Source: X).
Start video
Old School RuneScape – Trailer for the Steam Release
“More Beavers”
What is behind the grind? To chop enough wood for 193 beavers, you have to invest countless hours. How much, West Stairs revealed to gamesradar.com: His woodcutter twink has a playtime of 552 days. You should note that woodcutting in Old School RuneScape works really well in a “semi-AFK” manner.
Initially, West Stairs only planned to farm resources while doing homework and other things. Then he decided to max out the skill. When he saw that this increased the drop chance for beavers by 15 times (to a nearly luxurious 0.02147 percent), he wanted to become the player with the most beavers.
You should know:
There are no achievements or other rewards for owning 50, 100, or 200 beavers.
While the pet interface allows you to track how many beavers you have found overall, you can only own and summon one at a time. Each new beaver replaces the previous one.
Since the player reached the XP maximum of 200 million experience points for the woodcutting skill, he no longer receives additional XP. West Stairs himself assumes that he must have accumulated more than 500 million XP by now.
The counter for the pet collection is supposed to stop at 250 (though there is currently no player who has mastered this number for any pet yet). However, West Stairs presumably still wants to reach this milestone. Until then, the player’s motto on X is: “More Beavers”.
How does the community react to the grind? Many players can’t believe it.
Sammy James asks on X: “How do you do that??? I’ve been farming the redwood trees for weeks. Nada!”
TofuPython writes on Reddit: “It took me 50 million XP to get it [the beaver] on my main. […] This dude leaves me speechless.”
Ev comments on X regarding the action: “That is so strange.”
MyzMyz1995 explains on Reddit: “I got the agility pet in Old School RuneScape at a very low level and only noticed it months later. It always feels great to receive a pet in the game.”
elwek jokes on X: “No single man should have that many beavers.”
In other MMORPGs, you can also wonderfully invest a lot of time in farming certain pets or mounts. However, a few weeks ago, Blizzard showed some mercy to all the unfortunate souls and increased the drop rate of certain mounts – hopefully, you did not miss that: Easily farm the rarest mounts in WoW – Blizzard increases drop rate by 900%

The Anime Gachiakuta is one of the big highlights of the current season. The series almost didn’t exist if the author had treated her belongings better.
How did Gachiakuta come about? The anime is about appreciating your used items even when they are no longer brand new. Through this appreciation, the items become what are called Jinkis. They then gain special powers that can be used for battle or other situations.
This idea only exists because a terrible thing happened to the author Kei Urana. She lost a beloved item which she destroyed in a fit of rage. It is about a pen, as she revealed in an interview with Pika édition (seen on X):
Once, I broke a pen that I valued very much in a fit of rage, and I cried a lot back then because I was very attached to it. From that moment on, I thought about exploring “values, objects, and broken things,” and thus Gachiakuta was born…
This love for her pen can even be seen in the first image of her manga: There is a human hand holding a pen with a nib. In the foreground, there are text boxes talking about souls within objects that are appreciated.
Start video
Gachiakuta: Trailer with German synchronization of the anime
Gachiakuta revolves around valuable trash
How does this manifest in the anime? In Gachiakuta, trash is a central theme. Regardless of social class, people treat their belongings as worthless trash.
In the upper class, stuffed animals or other objects that only have minor signs of use are directly replaced with new ones.
People who treat an item particularly well and form an emotional bond with it gain special powers.
In the case of Rudo, the main character of Gachiakuta, it is the gloves of his guardian that he values particularly highly. This gives him the power to turn other items into Jinkis and use them in battle.
This can manifest, for example, in a chain suddenly getting bigger and having more impact.
A supermarket employee noticed the strange purchase of an elderly lady, which made him suspicious. He shares his concern on Reddit, which unfortunately shares his bad premonition.
The cover image is a symbolic image.
What does the employee report? A supermarket employee (elenkayan on Reddit) reports in the Steam subreddit about a strange situation that happened during his shift. An elderly lady came by twice in one day and purchased Steam gift cards worth $500 each.
As it turned out, she had been doing this for days, spending nearly $1,600 on these gift cards during this time.
“Why would someone need so much money for Steam?” elenkayan wonders, “Yes, we asked her why she needs so much money for Steam. She told us that there are people who give her money to buy it for them and deliver it.”
But the employee fears worse. “We are worried that someone is forcing her or that she is being scammed.”

Community shares the bad premonition
How did the employee deal with the suspicion? Elenkayan explains that he and his colleagues suspected a scam, which typically targets older people. The scammers specifically target seniors to charge them large sums of money that they are then supposed to pay for purchased gift cards.
Unfortunately, the employees were bound by the rules of the store chain: “We can’t call the police until we are sure that someone has broken the law, otherwise we would be punished,” he explains in his post, “by the way, the store chain I work for doesn’t even offer training for such situations. We were just told to sell it, and that was it.”
Elenkayan adds that he lives in Poland, but he keeps to himself which supermarket chain it is.
What does the community suggest? The top comment with the most (currently almost 7,000 upvotes) under elenkayan’s experience agrees with his suspicion: “The lady is being scammed, it’s probably a tech support scam or something like that.”
Nova-Redux agrees: “It’s either tech support or ‘Your loved ones are in trouble.’”
Frogmouth_Fresh adds: “Most likely a scam (99% sure) … although it’s also possible that the elderly lady is addicted to a gacha game.”
Most reactions, however, not only share the employee’s suspicion but also urge him to help the elderly lady.
TheSpecialApple: “As everyone else has said, this is a clear sign that it is a scam. You really should stop her.”
Crossedkiller: “Seriously. OP, it’s now up to you to help this lady. Please don’t stand by. Elderly people can lose their entire savings due to such scams, and I’m not talking about a few hundred dollars. These people can lose hundreds of thousands. The next time she is in the store, you must tell her that you cannot sell her the gift cards, call the police, and file a report. Hopefully, it’s not too late.”
Unfortunately, it is a scheme that seems to work; otherwise, such scammers, as is suspected in this case, would not continue. Please inform the elderly people in your surroundings about such scams, as they often follow similar patterns, as the community on Reddit has already mentioned. A little more luck than the elderly lady from Poland had an American senior citizen from Texas – or at least she thought so: Elderly woman wins 71.5 million euros in the lottery, loses the entire win just a week later

Twitch streamer Max “Trymacs” Stemmler played Fortnite with a stranger three years ago. This resulted in a video that still haunts him today.
What is this clip about? In a video, Twitch streamer Trymacs played Fortnite. He randomly matched with other players and was paired in a duo with a young boy. The boy greeted him among other things with the words: “What’s up, yallah?” Trymacs responded with a restrained “Oh, hello”.
Thereupon a dialogue unfolded, in which Trymacs had to struggle to contain his laughter multiple times. The exchange between the two has often been mocked, and now the clip seems to have resurfaced on social media.

Battlefield 6 starts today in its beta. Fans can soon step onto the battlefield and cause chaos. Since the player influx will be huge, we will be following the launch with a live ticker and providing you with the most important news.
Thursday, 07.08.2025
1:40 PM
There are reports of a bug that occurs when you finish a match. This bug prevents the modes from being accessible. To fix the bug, you just need to restart your client. A bit annoying, but at least there is a temporary fix (Source: discord.com).
11:55 AM
If you get kicked from a match now, you enter a queue with up to 70,000 players. However, this queue is processed quickly and only a few minutes of waiting time are needed to log back in.
10:38 AM
There may be various problems during your rounds. You might experience a disconnect and have to log in again. In the worst case, you find yourself in a queue with over 200,000 players waiting, like one of our acquaintances. However, our servers are still stable. We are crossing our fingers for you!

10:06 AM
In my first match, everything is running smoothly. There are only isolated small stutters, but otherwise, Battlefield 6 plays pleasantly. The weapons feel good, the explosions are brutal, and my skills in Battlefield are, as always, miserable, but otherwise, it’s fun!

Beta Launch: Issues with Boot and Beta Keys
I can’t start Battlefield 6, why? You have linked your account with EA, redeemed your beta key, and are ready to log into Battlefield 6, but … The game won’t start. Annoying, but there is a good reason – Secure Boot. Battlefield 6 requires you to boot your PC in secure mode.
Fortunately, our guide expert Alexander Schneider can briefly explain in his overview how to perform secure boot in a few steps. Just follow his steps:
Are beta keys still available? The first keys for the closed beta were granted during the multiplayer reveal via Twitch drops – but that has been a while ago. If you are one of the few who missed the stream and are still looking for a key, don’t worry. There are still some ways to get a closed beta key.
One option is the official X account of Battlefield. There, short clips are shared showing keys that you can redeem, but you have to be quick; otherwise, they are gone.
Michael Myers is one of the most famous villains from horror cinema. He is one of the co-founders of the slasher genre, but there is more to him than just a creepy guy in a blue jumpsuit.
Michael Myers first wreaked havoc in 1978. In Halloween by John Carpenter, the mute killer went on his first hunt. From an indie film, it became a gigantic horror franchise, with 13 films to date.
Whether you like it or not: Michael Myers is the main villain in each of these films, even if the explanations are not always plausible.
The beginning of Michael Myers was not so spectacular. A little boy murders his sister and gets locked away, but his urge to kill does not fade. Yet behind the mask, there is so much more.
Start video
Halloween – Trailer for the horror reboot from 2018
Already the Devil as a Child
What is Michael Myers? The first Halloween was considered an indie film at the time. It only cost $300,000 and was shot in 20 days (via IMDB). The idea behind the fairly simple premise came from producer Irwin Yablans. Due to the lower budget, he came up with the idea to choose babysitters as the protagonists of the film. Everyone was once a babysitter or a baby (Source: YouTube).
He focused on the duration of a night and settled on the day Halloween. The big star of the film was Michael Myers, who was not just a brutal killer; he is the personification of evil. Even the beginning of the film is not only well-made cinematically; it perfectly stages the character of Michael Myers.
From one person’s perspective, you see how he secretly observes his sister, grabs a knife and a mask, and kills his sister. After 5 minutes, it turns out to be a child. Through the first-person perspective and without cuts, the viewer is right in the middle of it, but the horrible act contrasts with the first-person view, which is supposed to create identification.
The attribute innocence must be directly abandoned by the viewer. Michael did not behave like a human even as a child and will not do so later either. In the first film, the character Dr. Loomis describes him with the following words:
I met this six-year-old child with his expressionless, pale face and pitch-black eyes, the eyes of the devil […] I realized that behind the eyes of this boy was nothing but pure evil.
This feeling of evil must be able to be conveyed to the screen, and that is achieved with Michael Myers through his appearance and through the staging.
Why is Michael Myers scary? Michael’s appearance is simple. He is tall, wears a blue jumpsuit, and a white mask. The mask was originally a Captain Kirk mask (Star Trek). They first altered the hair of the mask and shaped it upward. They also removed the sideburns and eyebrows. The eye holes were enlarged, and the face was painted white. The ghostly look emerged, which reveals very little of humanity (Source: YouTube).
In the first two parts (and in the last reboot trilogy), Nick Castle portrayed the killer. Through his stature and his slow and stiff movements, he gave the character a crushing presence. Even if he does not run, he will get you. Nick Castle’s task was: Do nothing, just walk, do not act (Source: YouTube). And that is what he did. Michael Myers does not speak; he observes and stalks.
So the foundation of the character is laid by appearance and presence, but to create an atmosphere, the staging is still missing. For this, they looked to a true film legend: Alfred Hitchcock, especially his film Psycho. The first Halloween does not rely on explicit violence but rather on terror.
Michael lurks in the background and observes. You know that something is watching and something is happening, but you never know when. That was also Hitchcock’s great strength. The audience knows more than the acting characters, and from that arises terror. Michael lurks in the shadows, but does not always attack. Too Much Film School perfectly describes it in their video essay on YouTube: Michael has the most power when he is unseen.
This is further underscored by the simple yet effective soundtrack by John Carpenter, who used an electric keyboard for it. The main piece is known by everyone to this day because it is so iconic and unique:

Laurie Strode is a perfect scream queen. Laurie is portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis, who was then still an unknown actress. Compared to her other friends, Laurie is a more innocent character, and she is the only one who sees Michael in the background throughout the film. John Carpenter himself says in a documentary (via YouTube):
She added something that went beyond herself. Jamie was, as I said, very smart. She grew up with Hollywood parents; she was not the little girl she portrayed; that was her acting ability, and she was very, very good.
In contrast to Michael, she shows many human emotions, tries to defend herself, and save others. From the beginning, she is terrorized by Michael, and as a viewer, you empathize with her. Ironically, Jamie Lee Curtis is also the daughter of Psycho actress Janet Leigh, who suffers in the Hitchcock film.
Michael Myers can only function because of Laurie Strode. This is also noted by film critic Mark Clark in his book Smirk, Sneer and Scream: Great Acting in Horror Cinema (via YouTube):
What the creators of these second-rate imitations did not understand was that Halloween triumphed not because of Michael Myers, but because of a combination of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. Michael was easy to copy, but Laurie was impossible to duplicate.
The connection between the two was also represented throughout the franchise within the story, even though this diluted Michael’s origin story.
So what about the lore of Michael and Laurie? In the second part, it was introduced that Laurie is Michael’s sister, which is why he hunts her. This was also continued from parts 4 to 6, and the familial connection was an important part of the series.
In the reboot film, Halloween from 2018, this connection was ignored again, and he hunts her because of the history of the two. Some events within the series contradicted each other, including Laurie’s deaths. More absurd explanations for Michael were also made. For example, a cult was introduced that worshiped Michael and cursed him.
Wasn’t there something from Rob Zombie? In 2007, Rob Zombie rebooted the series. Here, Michael was given a larger backstory about his childhood and parents. The film received a sequel in 2009, but the 2018 film continued the original two parts.
Like many other horror series, the franchise drifted into absurdity, but the first Halloween film is still considered a horror classic, largely due to Michael Myers and his portrayal. Another horror monster is also an icon: Alien: Everything you need to know about the legendary Xenomorph

In Solo Leveling, protagonist Jin-woo receives the quest to level up to become the strongest hunter while improving his stats. A fan has come up with a particularly funny parody, in which he takes a completely different route.
What is the parody about? Sister Leveling is a fan-made version of the anime Solo Leveling. On the channel of Anime Boiis, there are several seasons of this version. With each new season, there is another person who worships Jin-woo.
The most famous YouTube video of the parody is the very first one. It is a 9-minute video in which Jin-woo’s sister falls in love with him. The protagonist receives a quest window, allowing him to take a new route. If he fails to complete the tasks, he faces the death penalty.
By mistake, Jin-woo takes the steps of the stepsister route. This suddenly makes his sister Sung Jin-ah hopelessly in love with him, believing she is merely his stepsister. Since they are not blood-related, a legal relationship between them could potentially arise, in her view.
During the nine minutes, his sister tries clumsily to seduce her brother. She uses phrases like “Feel free to raid my dungeon” or “If I win the race, we can continue the workout in my room.”
Interactions between the two siblings, which are completely harmless in the anime, are suddenly filled with erotic innuendos. Jin-woo’s physical transformation in the anime evokes particular feelings in Jin-ah in the parody.

Funny parody keeps evolving
What do fans love about it? The first video of the series currently has over 5.9 million viewers. It has garnered over 194,000 likes in the past seven months.
In the comments, it becomes clear what the viewers enjoy most about the videos. There are many quotes from the video that fans find hilarious. User darthsacul3940 even believes that Sister Leveling is one of the best anime parodies he has seen since the Abridged version of Sword Art Online.
The fan version Sister Leveling is at least a little treat until the anime continues officially. Currently, it is unfortunately not even known, if and when there will be a season 3.
The universe of Dungeons & Dragons is full of various items, gear, weapons, and other equipment suitable for your campaign. However, those who have heard of Exandria, the world of Critical Role’s main campaigns, know that there are many more interesting treasures.
Dungeons & Dragons features various rulebooks and expansions full of magical items and other useful objects. The well-known group “Critical Role” also plays with the rules of Dungeons & Dragons, but they do not hesitate to create their own locations, lore, and even their own magical items that the characters from Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein, or Bells Hells used in their campaigns.
But just because they come from Exandria does not mean that you cannot use them for your own campaigns. Therefore, in this list, we present to you 7 magical items from Critical Role that are particularly exciting and can bring fresh air to your campaigns.
Here you see the teaser for Critical Role’s new animated campaign “The Mighty Nein”, which will premiere this November on Amazon Prime:

First appearance: Campaign 1 – Vox Machina, Episode 5: “The Trick About Falling”
The Serpent Belt is, as the name suggests, a serpentine leather belt.
The wearer of this belt is not only immune to poison. Once per day, one can command the belt as a bonus action to transform into a poisonous snake, which then follows the verbal commands of the wearer for up to one hour. If the snake is killed or moves more than 100 feet (approximately 30 meters) away from the wearer, it transforms back into a harmless belt.
The Serpent Belt has already appeared in the animated series about Vox Machina, where it is sent by Vax to distract a guard. Poisonous snakes are not only dangerous; they can also be a simple distraction.

Yesterday, warriors in World of Warcraft were unstoppable. What was supposed to be the highlight of solo play fell within seconds.
In World of Warcraft, the Patch 11.2 Spirits of K’aresh has launched. Along with this come many new content and some bosses to conquer. For deep fans, there’s “Nexus Princess Ky’veza,” who this time is the nemesis of the depths. However, the good lady really didn’t have much to offer – at least not against warriors. They could dismantle her within seconds.
Start video
WoW Patch 11.2 Spirits of K’aresh – The Threat of Dimensius
What kind of boss is this? Nexus Princess Ky’veza is the nemesis of Season 3. She is the final boss of the depths and, as in previous seasons, comes at difficulties “?” and “??”. The ?? difficulty is actually something for well-equipped characters late in the season. After all, she has 1,000,000,000 hit points, and even DPS characters struggle for a long time against that.
… or one played protection warriors, reflected a single attack, and grinned while watching Ky’veza lose almost her entire life.
Spell Reflect sends hundreds of millions of damage back
How did that work? Nexus Princess Ky’veza uses her “Nexus daggers” during the fight. These are bluish lines on the ground that deal massive damage to hit characters. For most classes, this is an “instant kill”. However, warriors have found that they can reflect the Nexus daggers. Not just one, but several of them at once. This causes Ky’veza to lose 30% – 50% of her health in one go. So you just repeat that 2-3 times, and the princess goes down. How that looked is shown in this video:

Is that still possible? No. Blizzard fixed the bug just a few hours after it became known. Now it is no longer possible to damage the Nexus Princess so massively with a reflected attack, and even warriors have to try much harder to have a chance against Ky’veza. If you don’t know where to start with the new patch, we have 3 goals for you here.

Fortnite has revealed its new map for Chapter 6 Season 4. You will soon land on it in August 2025. But before you do, you need to know what details there are and what it actually looks like. We show you the new map.
Where does the information come from? Recently, Epic Games published the patch notes for update 37.00 and along with them, the changes for the map of Chapter 6 Season 4. Fans can already look forward to the upcoming changes before the server downtime.
Since everything in the new season revolves around an insect plague spreading across the island, you can expect many pests, nests, and slimy areas.

What changes are there to the map
What will change? Many well-known POIs from Chapter 6 Season 3 will be altered for Season 4 to allow the bugs to move in. You can expect the following new POIs upon release:
The Hive
Swarmy Stash
O.X.R. HQ
Ranger’s Ruin
The interesting part is the insect infestation. Due to these catastrophic conditions of Season 4, a new institution has been established to deal with the plague – the O.X.R.
So not only will the pests receive new POIs, but also the special unit that is trying to eliminate them.
This is what the new map looks like
On the new map, you will find rugged places that serve as nests for the insects. The O.X.R., on the other hand, will receive a huge central base where you can equip yourself. But don’t think that you can face the insects alone. They have different units they can unleash upon you, and in the worst case, you might even encounter the queen.
That was all the changes for Chapter 6 Season 4. Depending on how the battle against the insects develops, it could also happen that the infestation spreads and occupies further POIs. So stay tuned. You can find more about Fortnite here: Fortnite: Battle Pass for Chapter 6 Season 4 Overview

The release of Chapter 6 Season 4 is not far away. The developers of Fortnite have diligently published new teasers for the season, and one of these teasers focuses on the upcoming Battle Pass.
What skins can I expect in Chapter 6 Season 4? Epic Games has already released the entire lineup of the Battle Pass for Chapter 6 Season 4. The developers have prepared four female and three male skins, and this is what they look like:
This is what the skins in Chapter 6 Season 4 look like
Spartan of the UNSC
Yoo-mi
Agent Klappe
Combat Gamer Mae
Lt. Ripp Slade
Onyx Winter
Green Ranger
As for the Spartan, free-to-play players also have a chance to obtain the skin. If you reach level 100 in the Battle Pass starting August 26 without purchasing it, you will receive this skin for free for your collection.
There will also be another skin, the Dino Megazord. This will only be available to Battle Pass buyers starting September 16, provided you complete specific objectives. This skin is only for buyers and not for free-to-play players.

What skins could still appear? It is certain that more Power Rangers will be available in the item shop starting August 8. This includes the colors red, black, blue, yellow, and pink.
Pure speculation, but it could also be that Epic Games enters into a collaboration with Helldivers 2. The fighters from Über-Erde know the fight against bugs all too well. So it would be the right moment for such a collaboration.
When does Chapter 6 Season 4 start? The new season of Fortnite is supposed to start on August 7. It is still unknown how long the downtime will last. According to leakers, this is an unusually large update.
Since GTA 3, players have known the voice of an actor from the radio, but will his character also appear in GTA 6?
Who is this about? This is about Lazlow Jones, the somewhat sleazy but always entertaining radio host from GTA. He appeared after GTA 3 in 8 other games in the series, including GTA: Vice City, San Andreas, and most recently in GTA V and Online.
In GTA V, Lazlow is part of the story between the playable character Michael De Santa and his daughter Tracey, who appears on a casting show hosted by Lazlow and is treated inappropriately by him. Michael humiliates the host by piercing and tattooing his face against his will.
Lazlow has always been portrayed by Jeffrey Crawford Jones, who was also a writer, director, and producer of the GTA series. Now that the release of GTA 6 is getting closer, many fans are wondering if he will return there as Lazlow.
Here you can see the second trailer for GTA 6:
Start video
Rockstar Games presents GTA 6 in the second trailer
Lazlow probably won’t return
What does the actor say about it? A response to the question of whether Lazlow will return in GTA 6 came from Jones recently in an interview with Nerd Reactor on YouTube.
In this interview, Jones says that he doesn’t believe he will appear in GTA 6:
We [Jeffrey Jones and Dan Houser] left in 2020, so I doubt it. I loved working on those games with Dan and I was on the radio in GTA 3 and all the GTAs after that, and it was an amazing journey, working on GTA for 20 years.
Jones no longer works for Rockstar Games today. In 2020, he left the studio to open a new studio with Dan Houser, a co-founder of Rockstar Games, and other colleagues – Absurd Ventures.
Some fans are disappointed that Lazlow probably won’t return – not even as a radio host. Others try to look at it optimistically. On Reddit, fans write, “It was nice having that through line with Lazlow throughout the series – but things change.” (FoalKid on Reddit)
Another user believes: “I can definitely see there being a mention of Lazlow in a radio podcast or something. It would be pretty amazing.” (VGChamp2020 on Reddit)
In the recent raid of Destiny 2, numerous players cheated. Now, it affects not only the cheaters but also their friends.
What is behind the bans? Destiny 2 conducted a ban wave on August 5, 2025, targeting players who cheated in the contest mode of the latest raid, The Eternal Desert. The raid was introduced with the latest expansion “On the Edge of Destiny”.
The launch trailer of “The Edge of Fate” showcases the new expansion of Destiny 2
Bungie bans not only cheaters but also accomplices
What is this warning about? As Bungie announced on X, the ban wave also targets players who benefited from cheaters in their team. Guardians who intentionally took advantage of their cheating teammates can also face penalties.
The community manager of Destiny, dmg04, added in a post on X that this was only the first ban wave and more will follow should Bungie discover any “laggers.” He warned: “Do not play with cheaters.”
How did the cheaters get caught? Shortly after the raid, when the large list of suspected cheaters was posted, various indications pointed to the alleged cheaters. These included:
A team member excelled with an unbelievable number of kills, while the rest of the team had hardly any.
New accounts were used, which had hardly completed any raids.
Certain sections of the raid were completed within a few minutes, while other teams required several hours.
It is not yet known if the players on the large list were actually banned, but Bungie’s reaction and the announcement of the ban wave indicate that cheating occurred in the contest mode of the raid.
What is the contest mode actually? During the contest mode, the best teams of Destiny 2 compete under challenging conditions. Each team aims to successfully complete the new raid first – this is known as the World-First race. During the race, thousands of viewers regularly watch.
Although an action game had a really good year in 2024, the developer is ending support for the PS4. The reason doesn’t make sense to many players though.
What game are we talking about? We are referring to Genshin Impact by the Chinese developer miHoYo. It is one of the most successful video games of recent years and was able to generate significant profits in 2024:
Last year, the game made 710 million dollars in revenue – which is about 609 million euros (according to businessofapps.com)
In 2024, the game also had around 9.3 million active players and was installed 34 million times
Nevertheless, the developer miHoYo has decided to discontinue support for the PS4 version.
Starting from September 10, 2025, you will no longer be able to download Genshin Impact for the PS4 if you haven’t obtained it before. From February 25, all purchasable additional content will be removed. On April 8, 2026, the PS4 version will be permanently discontinued.

Developers leave the PS4 behind, players mourn
Why was this decision made? The developers explain the reason for the end on the PS4 in a blog article on www.hoyolab.com. It states:
Due to limitations related to hardware performance and platform application size, we will be discontinuing support and updates for Genshin Impact on PS4 in future versions.
This will not affect the PS5 version, it continues. There, the game will continue to be supported and updated.
How are players reacting? Players are discussing this decision, including in the largest subreddit for the game. For many players who only play Genshin Impact on the PS4, this is a heavy blow.
A user named perfectchaos83 writes on Reddit: “Damn. Didn’t expect that.”
Reddit user BuilderAura replies: “yeah me neither… I exclusively play on PS4 so now I’m wondering wtf I’m gonna do….”
Another user laments that Genshin Impact will probably never be ported to the Switch as announced (on Reddit).
However, many are also questioning why the PS4 should be the limiting factor – after all, the game also runs on smartphones. These are generally weaker than a console when it comes to gaming.
Under the official post by the developers, a user named nohsara writes: “I have a ps5 so i wont personally be affected, but I dont understand why hoyo cant continue optimizing for ps4 if they can optimize for MOBILE.”
“So it can run on budget mobiles smoothly but cannot on a ps4???? lol,” writes tushonkin
For those who have been playing Genshin Impact on the PS4 and do not own a PS5 or a PC, it might be worth switching to the mobile version. Genshin Impact is also worth a look on the smartphone. After all, it is one of the 10 best mobile MMORPGs 2025 for iOS and Android
