Borderlands 4 brings the first story DLC in just 2 weeks, delivers a new Vault Hunter and legendary loot

von Ody

The discussion between fans and the boss of Borderlands is reignited time and again, as Randy Pitchford now responds to many of the comments. Each new response sparks new comments that range from constructive criticism, life stories of people with problems to wild insults. Thus, new discussions are always sparked.

If the price for Borderlands 4 really is set at €80, then the CEO will likely receive more comments, even though the publisher sets the price, not the boss himself. Borderlands 4 is set to be released on September 12, 2025, and aims to do one thing much better than its predecessor: Borderlands 4 promises that they will do the loot much better than in part 3: This is their plan

Former player of Final Fantasy XIV converted to WoW: “I wish I had done this earlier”

Cortyn 2. June 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Often, players switch from World of Warcraft to Final Fantasy XIV – but the reverse also happens. A player raves about how much fun she is having in WoW now.

When it comes to MMORPGs, there is often a battle between different player groups. Your own MMORPG is, of course, always the best, and all other MMORPGs are simply not good, have a toxic community, are full of kids, and the developers are also all crazy.

All the more beautiful is it when players do not let themselves be impressed by such things and simply make their own impression of the respective other game and then report on it.

WoW player finds his old guild again – but it’s quite sad

Who is this about? In the WoW subreddit, the player Nova-latte shared a post in which she talks about her journey. After many years in Final Fantasy XIV, the air was a bit out, so she started in WoW in the middle of Dragonflight:

After I stopped playing FF14 for many reasons, my boyfriend got me to try WoW. After initially having problems with Retail, I learned the basics in Classic and then got back into Retail with Mists of Pandaria Remix, and it’s so much fun. The story of the world is so rich, the worlds are fun to explore, and the combat feels better? (I hated the static 2-minute rotation in FF14). So many collectibles. And now also housing, which won’t feel like you have to rent a virtual plot.

WoW is more than grind and gear – but you have to see that first

Nova-latte is also happy that she didn’t listen to the voices that condemned WoW beforehand.

I have the impression that there is so much more in the game than just grinding gear. I often see people asking if they should try WoW, and then people say that it’s just the endgame and gear grinding, and I find that incomprehensible because there is SO much more in the game.

At the same time, she is aware that the impression can certainly fade, and this honeymoon mentality may not last forever:

Maybe I haven’t played long enough for the rose-colored glasses to come off, but whatever, I’m so glad I switched and I look forward to spending more time in this world.

This is how the community reacts: In the comments, the community reacts as usual kindly and positively. They welcome the new player, but other “converted” players also participate in the discussion.

“The same applies to me. After 10,000 hours of Final Fantasy XIV, I started with WoW about 6 months after I stopped playing FF (mainly due to the lack of innovation from the developers). I also wish I had given WoW a chance sooner. The only thing I miss from FF14 are my mods and the ultimate weapons.” – borntobeunlucky
“Welcome to WoW! I tried FF14, but personally didn’t like it that much. But I hope that FF14 gets better, because I don’t want Blizzard to feel too secure. Competition is good for both games.” – Zestyclose-Square-25
“Why does it have to be one or the other? I keep up with both. Usually the patches don’t overlap, so I play here for 2 months and then there for 2 months.” – givemeabreak432

Have you also switched from Final Fantasy XIV to WoW? Did you do it the other way around and switch from Azeroth to Eorzea? Or do you play both games regularly and check back in whenever a new patch or update brings fresh content?
Sometimes newcomers also ask very innocent questions – like the concern about soulbound items.

9 powerful Elves from Lord of the Rings who could easily take on Sauron’s Orcs

Christoph Waldboth 1. June 2025 Reading time 7 minutes

In the books and movies of The Lord of the Rings, the Elves are among the most mysterious and powerful beings ever. In our ranking, we clarify which Elf or Elf lady is stronger than all the others.

How was the ranking created? Elves are fascinating beings in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” Even in Peter Jackson’s film adaptations, the Elves stand out clearly upon their first appearance. They are tall, elegant, and mysterious.

Some of them are among the most powerful beings in Middle-earth. For this ranking, we focused on those Elves who are part of the story of “The Lord of the Rings.” Long before that, there were others, strong representatives of this people, such as Feanor – they are excluded from this ranking.

As always, the order of the placements is purely a matter of interpretation and thus subjective. If your personal ranking differs from this one, feel free to let us know in the comments.

Place 9: Haldir

Haldir is one of the Elves from the woodland realm of Lothlórien, which is led by Galadriel and her husband Celeborn. He traveled a lot in the world and learned quite a bit about Middle-earth.

He met the Fellowship upon their arrival in Lothlórien and guided them further. His dislike for other races, especially Dwarves, became evident: Gimli had to blindfold himself on the way to Galadriel.

As the border guard of Lothlórien, he plays an important role. In Peter Jackson’s films, it is even larger. There, Haldir also participates in the Battle of Helm’s Deep and marches in with a troop of Elves to assist the men in combat against the Uruk-hai. In this battle, he dies afterwards, while his fate in the book remains unclear.

WoW analyst is sure: the undead Geissel will return once more

Cortyn 1. June 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Many old enemies seem to be returning in World of Warcraft. The undead Scourge is also on the agenda – a YouTuber has discovered many clues.

In World of Warcraft, there are many enemies that have remained with us for years. But little by little, Blizzard has thinned out our adversaries. The Burning Legion has been defeated, the undead Scourge is destroyed, and we have already overcome death itself. However, there are hints that the undead Scourge will rise once again. A YouTuber shows which clues indicate this.

What is the Scourge? In World of Warcraft (or Warcraft in general), the Scourge originated from the Cult of the Damned in Azeroth. They are undead who were created through a plague or direct necromancy and served the Lich King in Northrend.

The Scourge was the central antagonist in Warcraft III and also played a key role in the WoW expansion “Wrath of the Lich King.” After that, they lost some significance, but gained more relevance with Shadowlands when their true origins were revealed by the Jailer – even though many didn’t receive this well.

Why is the Scourge coming back? The YouTuber and analyst Bellular has released a video explaining why the Scourge will again become an important enemy, presumably in the expansion “The Last Titan.” Because we already know that this expansion will take place again in Northrend, the “home” of the Scourge:

I solo defeated the final boss of Elden Ring: Nightreign because no one wanted to help me – This is what I learned

Christos Tsogos 1. June 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Elden Ring: Nightreign is the challenge for all players who want to suffer. The game is difficult, and if you try it solo, it is almost impossible for many to enjoy. Our Souls expert Christos had to defeat the final boss solo. How he managed to do that, even though the fight was tough, he will now explain to you.

Who is writing here? Ever since the release of Demon Souls, I have been following the Souls genre and have played through every hardcore title from FromSoftware 100%. When MeinMMO offered me the chance to test Elden Ring: Nightreign before its release, I couldn’t say no.

I was allowed to check the game under embargo and form an opinion about it. There’s already a lot I can tell you: The game is very difficult solo. It’s fun in a group, and overall, the genre mix of Nightreign is a fresh addition to what FromSoftware usually offers.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t always play with a group during my tests, and I was still missing the final boss. I forced myself to travel solo to Limveldt and finish the game. It’s clear that I needed many attempts before the boss was defeated, but during that time, various things stood out to me that I want to share with you.

Tips that will save your nerves

First and important point: choose your class wisely. Yes, as simple as this tip may seem, it will save you most of your outbursts of anger. Each class has its own talents to survive in combat, but not all of them are worth it for a solo run.

I defeated the final boss, for example, with the Raider, and for good reason – he is a tank, has unbeatable balance so you won’t be knocked out of your attack, and also distributes an incredible amount of damage compared to other classes.

Even though the Hermit, Countess, or the Ghost are versatile, they get stomped into the ground with 2-3 hits, you can’t even blink. So choose wisely!

Second point on the list: buy 2 revives. Is that unfair? Yes. Should you feel sorry for the final boss? Not at all. In every solo run, you have the opportunity to buy a revive from a merchant in Limveldt and one before the final boss fight. You can buy a maximum of 2 revives to approach the fight more relaxed. I bought both and even had to use both to take down the boss – so don’t be stingy and buy both for 20,000 runes.

Third and final point: pay attention to weaknesses and break stances. Every boss has an element they are weak against. For the final boss, it is holy damage. So look for weapons, spells, or stuff with these elements to debuff the respective bosses and deal more damage.

It’s also important to break their stance. The more often and harder you hit the boss, the higher the chance of knocking them out of their stance.

Then you can land a critical hit. With the Raider, it was practical to have two large hammers equipped and to stack effects that increase the chance of knocking the opponent out of stance. So after 3 jump attacks, I could always land a critical hit, allowing me to catch my breath while the opponent gets up.

Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces a new item that completely disrupts common tactics – “This is absolute madness”

von Alexander Mehrwald

I have to say, however, that the final boss of Nightreign was much easier compared to the other bosses, like the knight or the goat. His movesets were predictable, and his attacks were easy to dodge.

Nevertheless, some warriors will surely try to take down this boss solo. I hope I was able to help you with my tips and wish you good luck in your battle. Are you looking for a list of all skins from Nightreign? Then we have just what you need: Elden Ring: Nightreign – All skins for every class

Former Sony CEO is convinced that subscription services like Game Pass harm developers and limit which games are played

Jasmin Beverungen 1. June 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Shuhei Yoshida is the former head of PlayStation Studios. He left his position in January 2025, before that he worked as a producer on many Crash Bandicoot titles. Yoshida believes that subscription services can be a danger to developers – an exception is the service of the PS5.

Why does he believe that? He refers to the scenario that players would only have the option to play a title via a subscription service. This is very risky because the owners of these payment models could then determine what kind of games are released:

This is very, very risky, because there must always be new ideas tried by small developers who initiate the next wave of development. But if big companies dictate which games can be developed, I don’t think that will move the industry forward.
Shuhei Yoshida, via Game Developer

The diversity of game genres would thus remain limited and developers could no longer unleash their creativity. Despite his views, Yoshida praises PlayStation’s subscription model highly – and for one reason.

Start video

After 12 years, there is a change for PS Plus that could change the subscription forever

Autoplay

Subscription models restrict developers, but not Sony

What should Sony do differently? According to Yoshida, the way Sony approaches subscription services is healthier. Accordingly, major first-party titles should be included in the game library, but only after their release:

I believe that the way Sony has approached [subscriptions] is healthier. One should not promise too much and allow people to spend money on new games. After a few years, not many people will be willing to buy these games at the initial price, so they will be added to the subscription service and there will be more people who can try [these products] in time before the next game in the series comes out.

According to him, this could even boost sales of newer titles if the older ones suddenly become available in the subscription service.

Why is this statement difficult? There are also some games for PS Plus that celebrate their release with the subscription service. These include Foamstars in February 2024 or Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions from September 2024.

Moreover, Yoshida states that players are not willing to buy the games at full price after a few years. One possibility is to offer them in the subscription service. However, after the release, there are often sales or other offers where the games are available at a lower price.

What are subscription services? Yoshida refers to flat-rate offers for video games that charge players a monthly fee similar to streaming services (e.g., Netflix). In return, there is access to a rich game library.

Players do not have to buy individual titles at full price. For a lower amount, they can test as many games as they can manage.
New games can partially be tried out directly at release without paying the full price.
In this way, players can discover new genres they previously shied away from.

Gamers do not buy the games, they only borrow access to them. Since the selection of games changes monthly, it may happen that players can no longer access the games after a few months.

In the most eagerly awaited strategy game on Steam, you fight with assault rifles against knights – Now there’s a release date

Cortyn 1. June 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After a long wait, the Steam game Kingmaker finally has a release date. We will tell you when it starts.

Sometimes there are game ideas that are so absurd and yet so banal that you wonder why they haven’t been implemented yet. One of these ideas is Kingmaker, which fans have been waiting for months. It combines the heroic notion of medieval knight battles with a simple idea: What if you also had weapons from the future?

Start video

In Kingmakers you must change the course of history

Autoplay

When will Kingmaker be released? After the game has been in development for quite a while, the release date has been announced for October 8, 2025. However, this is initially only for Early Access. In just over 4 months, you can join the epic battles and show the superiority of future technology with the knights.

Currently, Kingmaker is the most anticipated strategy game on Steam (via store.steampowered.com).

What kind of game is Kingmaker? At first glance, Kingmaker seems like a crazy idea: You participate in medieval battles with knights who hit each other with swords, maces, and battle axes. What’s absurd about it? You come from the future and possess assault rifles or tanks. You are therefore significantly more powerful than individual enemies or allies, as you can achieve much more on the battlefield while, for example, riding along the front on a motorcycle and helping out wherever your troops are about to collapse.

At the same time, you not only have to fight at the front but can also switch to a tactical view to give orders to your troops from afar or to order fortifications and consolidate your position.

The trailers already make it clear that the battles are not about small skirmishes with a few knights, but that hundreds or even thousands of knights can appear on the screen, all engaged in the fights.

You can play Kingmaker alone or in co-op.

In Once Human, you will soon be able to be your own Game Master if you pay for it.

Jasmin Beverungen 1. June 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In the road map of the survival game Once Human, it has already been hinted that new custom servers will be coming in 2025. The development team has now announced the first details.

What kind of servers are they? Players can pay a monthly fee to “borrow” a server. On this server, they can adjust the game settings as they wish. It is enough for one user to rent the server – other players can join.

The game master has a control panel with which they can spawn items or designate admins who have the same rights as they do. In addition, players can be kicked or even deleted from the server.

Since running such custom servers costs a lot of resources, players need to pay some money. Depending on the price, they can choose the duration of operation and the maximum number of players. How much this will cost is still unknown. However, the team promises to reduce server costs over the months.

This model already exists in other survival titles like Palworld. Soon, fans of Once Human will also have the opportunity to become their own game master. This was already hinted at in a roadmap for 2025.

What is special about it? The development team does not want to lease the servers through third-party vendors but offer official custom servers. They should provide the advantage of having no security issues, easy configuration, and stable performance.

The advantages over the game server include:

Diverse customizable parameters
Less lag and faster loading times

So far, players could only choose between PvE or PvP servers. With the rentable servers, they get a new option that offers a lot of freedom.

When are they coming? The early access trial phase is scheduled to start on June 5, 2025. The official trial phase will then begin on June 19, 2025.

A character from Baldur’s Gate 3 is so unpopular that 9,000 people run a whole Reddit against him

Cortyn 1. June 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A single character in Baldur’s Gate 3 is hated to the core – by almost everyone. He has worked hard for this.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are seemingly endless NPCs, so each player can find one or another that they can’t get enough of. However, there is one single NPC in the game that is universally hated by the entire community. The aversion is so strong that a small part of the player base has come together to dedicate an entire subreddit to this disdain. We are talking about Wulbren Bongle.

Autoplay

Who is Wulbren Bongle? Wulbren Bongle is the leader of the “Ironhand Gnomes” and essentially a terrorist in the game. He tries to destroy the Steel Watch in Baldur’s Gate and wipe out all Gondians in the city. While this is somewhat understandable, considering the significance of the Steel Watch for Gortash and the cult of the Absolute, it is ruined by Wulbren’s demeanor.

He insults everyone around him – and permanently. No matter how often you help him, he is always dissatisfied and shows no spark of appreciation. This is especially true for Barcus, another deep gnome, who embarks on a long and arduous journey to save Wulbren – only to receive disdain in return.

What has the community done? Out of the rejection of Wulbren Bongle, the subreddit named “FuckWulbrenBongle” has emerged, where all contributions revolve around why this gnome is so utterly hated. The members of this subreddit try to outdo each other, proving why Wulbren should be sent to hell.

All that rejection sure brings a lot of creativity, as there are plenty of funny memes in the subreddit against Wulbren, like this one:

One Piece on Netflix finally reveals 2 major secrets, shows us Chopper and the release year: “He is so cute and lovable”

Jasmin Beverungen 1. June 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Many Netflix series have been provided with new trailers. Among them is the live-action adaptation of One Piece. The video unveiled 2 highly anticipated secrets, including the appearance of Tony Chopper.

What is seen in the trailer? In the video, we see Chopper. The production team seems to have decided not to use a real person without any CGI effects as Chopper. Instead, we see the computer-animated reindeer revealing the release year of One Piece.

Accordingly, the 2nd season of the Netflix series will arrive in 2026. More precise dates will probably only be available once post-production has advanced further.

The appearance of Chopper was one of the most anticipated secrets among fans. As this little being is a reindeer that has eaten the Human-Human Fruit, it is unique in the universe.

So far, we only knew that the Rumble Ball version would be portrayed by a real person. For the small Chopper, Mikaela Hoover will be used as the voice actress (via X). You may already know her from guest roles in Two and a Half Men or How I Met Your Mother.

You should convince yourselves of Chopper:

How is the new Chopper being received? Among fans, Chopper is well-received. In the Reddit forum, fans write that Chopper is “cute and lovable.” Furthermore, he is said to have retained the essence from the anime. This is evident, for example, in how he becomes shy when receiving compliments.

Fans even make comparisons to Detective Pikachu or Star Wars, with Chopper scoring well. Even some critics write that it “could have been MUCH worse.”

There are also occasional comments that are negative. One user writes that he would hate the voice. Another comments that Chopper would look “ugly as hell.” In the end, the appearance of Tony Chopper is a matter of taste, but many seem to like it.

Even under the German trailer on YouTube, there are many positive comments about Chopper. One commentator even says he reminds him of Baby Groot.

A single god is barely protecting the Space Elves of Warhammer 40,000 from the evil Chaos by being a giant troll

Benedict Grothaus 1. June 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The gods of Chaos are the most well-known pantheon from Warhammer 40,000, but some of the peoples have their own deities – even if many of them are already dead. At least one god of the elven Aeldari is still alive and takes care of his flock. More or less…

Chaos is a constant threat to pretty much all living beings in the galaxy, because it seeks to corrupt everything and everyone. Many voluntarily join the four Chaos gods, while others are slowly corrupted or simply wiped out.

However, one species has particularly difficult relations with Chaos: the Aeldari, a once-powerful elven-like race that once ruled the galaxy. Over the millennia, the Aeldari eventually became overconfident – and too greedy.

In search of ever-greater excesses, they no longer hesitated at torture, agony, and the like. Their constantly growing hedonism ultimately contributed to the birth of Slaanesh, the Chaos god of temptation and obsession.

In the massive catastrophe, Slaanesh not only nearly wiped out all Aeldari and condemned their souls for eternity, but also exterminated most Aeldari gods. Only one remains quite active today.

The trickster god of the Aeldari: Cegorach

Cegorach is known by many names: the laughing god, the Great Harlequin, the Great Fool, or the First Fool. He is a “trickster” god, meaning he is known for mockery, (sometimes very macabre) pranks, and for taking nothing seriously. He is also the god of theater and performances.

That is also his gift to the Aeldari: irony and humor. This is meant to allow at least a few of the noble people to escape the trap of constantly growing hubris and not fall to Slaanesh.

According to legend, he survived Slaanesh’s birth only because he had a certain distance from the feeling of excess that led the Aeldari to their doom through this behavior. He reportedly hid behind the war god Khaine while he fought against Slaanesh.

To escape the Chaos gods, Cegorach hides in the web of a Thousand Paths, a kind of branching pocket dimension – where Comorragh lies, the last bastion of the Drukhari, who still indulge in excess today.

Cegorach’s chosen live dangerously

The Aeldari who follow Cegorach’s teachings call themselves Harlequins and are… pretty much just that: witty clowns and actors. Originally, they performed plays and dances that were meant to remind what the Aeldari have forgotten in their excess.

However, since the Harlequins received much hatred in response, they had to practice fighting and today rank among the best warriors in the galaxy. A special feature among them is that they do not carry soulstones.

Normally, Aeldari protect themselves with these special stones, which are supposed to capture their soul after death so that Slaanesh does not get them. Harlequins trust in Cegorach and that the god will take them in after their death.

Even more dangerously live the Solitaires, special Harlequins who live reclusively even among their own kind. A Solitaire can play the “role” of Slaanesh, is a better fighter, and is resistant to psychic attacks. But: he promises his soul to Slaanesh and relies on Cegorach to retrieve it from the Chaos god in death, through some kind of gamble or trick, to escape endless torture.

One of the last guardians of the Aeldari – for now

Cegorach is the last officially still actually living god of the Aeldari, but not the last from the pantheon. Isha, the goddess of fertility and harvest, is supposedly the prisoner of Nurgle, who tests his diseases on her – since she cannot die.

Kaela Mensha Khaine was shattered into many pieces after the battle against Slaanesh, his avatars. Technically, he is still alive, but not… quite.

Some Aeldari, who call themselves Ynnari, are currently doing everything possible to awaken a new god: Ynnead, the god of death. They believe that they can “create” Ynnead with enough psychic power and hope that he can permanently destroy Slaanesh.

So far, it has not been possible to completely awaken Ynnead, but he is slowly beginning to awaken.

Similarly, the situation currently is with humans. Although they already have the God-Emperor, it is still uncertain whether he is really a true god. And even those who should know are no longer sure: The new leader of the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000 questions whether the Emperor is a god, when he should know better

It took 4 months and 200 workers to build a wall, but that did not prevent a film from failing in the cinema

Niko Hernes 31. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The legend of King Arthur has often been adapted for the big screen. In 2004, a director attempted a historical approach, even building elaborate sets, but that did not help the film become successful or popular.

Which film is it about? In 2004, director Antoine Fuqua attempted a new film about the legend of King Arthur. Fuqua is known among other things as the director of Training Day, Olympus Has Fallen, or The Equalizer. For the film King Arthur, he tried to realize a historical approach for the well-known characters.

To achieve a more realistic look, Fuqua did not want to rely on CGI scenes, but on built sets. To this end, he constructed a long replica of Hadrian’s Wall in Ireland. This required not only the help of about 250 workers but also 4 months of construction time, as explained in the making-of (via YouTube).

To make the battles look better, high-quality props were also used for the weapons. Over 300 swords, 700 spears, and 300 axes were produced. However, the elaborate sets did not convince viewers or allow for a great success.

Despite elaborate sets, not a big success

How was King Arthur received? Although a lot of time was invested in the sets and props of the film, it was received only moderately by critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of only 30% from 187 critics. Users are somewhat more forgiving, as it has 59% based on over 250,000 reviews.

It has been criticized that the film is easily forgettable, the actors lack chemistry, and the battle scenes are not good.

The elaborate sets also cost something, and the budget was, according to Box Office Mojo, 120 million US dollars. Although the film grossed over 200 million US dollars worldwide, it cannot be called a success when considering that there are also marketing costs involved.

Typically, a film is considered a success if it earns about double or more than its budget. The film was rated PG-13 in the USA, meaning it is recommended for those 13 years and older. Although this potentially allows more people to watch the film, it was not actually the version Fuqua wanted.

von Christoph Waldboth

The film was originally intended to be much more brutal

What was Antoine Fuqua’s original vision? Originally, Fuqua wanted to make a more brutal film out of King Arthur. That was actually the agreed plan, but according to Fuqua (via sfgate.com), Disney, which was the film distributor behind the film, noticed that a younger audience was also showing interest in the film.

As a result, Fuqua changed some parts of the film. His director’s cut is 15 minutes longer and has nearly 80 new scenes compared to the theatrical release (via Schnittberichte). However, it is quite unlikely that a more brutal version would have helped the film at the box office.

Every year, promising films are released that often end up flopping. Even in 2024, there were some releases that failed at the box office, even if the predecessor was a hit: The 5 biggest flops of 2024 – Which films have flopped at the box office

A legend on YouTube has been making videos for 18 years, has 1.55 million subscribers, does not monetize her videos

Johanna 31. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The content creator Kathrin “coldmirror” Fricke has been a mainstay on the platform YouTube since 2007. MeinMMO presents her here.

Who is it about? It is about the YouTuber coldmirror. Behind the pseudonym is Kathrin Fricke, often called “Kaddi.” At 22 years old, she created her YouTube channel in 2006. A year later, she uploaded her first videos on YouTube.

From February to October in 2009, she was the most subscribed YouTube channel in Germany, with just 10,000 subscribers. In an interview with World Wide Wohnzimmer, coldmirror said about it: “I never wanted to be that, so it was overwhelming” (via YouTube).

coldmirror has over 1.55 million subscribers and over 490 million views on her YouTube channel.

Also, Gronkh is one of the pioneers in the German YouTube scene:

Success through parodies

What are coldmirror’s contents? Her “breakthrough” came through her so-called “Harry Potter” dubbings. She uploaded the first three films from the “Harry Potter” series, but she dubbed all roles herself and never faithfully. She also altered the titles, for example, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” became “Harry Potter and the Plastic Cup.”

In this way, she could showcase her own special humor. And it worked: A playlist with her dubs has reached over 5.7 million views to date (via YouTube) – and these are only the re-uploads on other channels. Quotes from coldmirror’s “Harry Potter” videos have reached cult status.

Additionally, coldmirror had an animation series called Japanoschlampen, in which she sent two main characters on adventures in a simply drawn style. The series parodied animes and their content.

For the film “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” coldmirror created her own podcast, which she uploaded from 2016 to 2024 both on YouTube and on Spotify. In each episode, she took 5 minutes from the first film of the “Harry Potter” series and analyzed tiny details in each frame and provided explanations for them.

Between 2010 and 2015, coldmirror even had her own television show on the TV channel Einsfestival. Here, videos that had previously been seen on her YouTube channel were improved and aired on television.

In 2016, coldmirror switched to the online content network of ARD and ZDF funk. Before that, she had produced content for the Hessian Broadcasting Corporation, so joining funk was a natural fit.

As part of the switch, she started a new animation series: StarStarSpace. A parody of the “Star Trek” franchise in the style of her previous series Japanoschlampen.

Her content also regularly includes showcasing funny commercials or product descriptions. In summary, coldmirror’s YouTube channel offers a mix of colorful parodies and dubbings, all in her own humor style.

“Legend of YouTube”

What is special about coldmirror? Although coldmirror has been able to achieve and still achieves high view counts, she did not monetize her videos, so she could not earn money from them. coldmirror is glad that she never made herself dependent on “this flawed system” (referring to monetization through YouTube) (via YouTube).

Rather, she only wants to make videos when she really feels like it. However, through her joining funk, she does earn money.

For the community, coldmirror is a “legend of YouTube” (@Kresko25 via YouTube). Other voices see it similarly:

@martse7652 writes (via YouTube): “The woman is just so likeable”
@user-ll8ym9or8c thinks (via YouTube): “She is part of our culture. Protect her forever.”
@SupeerFranzi finds (via YouTube): “coldmirror was the first channel I watched. The Harry Potter dubs back then were genius.”

Also successful during the first major YouTube era was the channel “DieAussenseiter.” The cousins Dima and Sascha produced comedy content for their viewers. In an interview, Dima said he felt like a Pokémon at the time, as he was overwhelmed by his fans.

Twitch makes it more fun to spend money, but not all streamers benefit

Lydia 31. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

TwitchCon Europe 2025 has kicked off in Rotterdam. During the opening ceremony, numerous new features and improvements were announced.

How should spending money be fun? Twitch offers viewers numerous ways to support their favorite streamers. In addition to Subs and Cheers, there will also be Combos in the future. These are a type of emote that viewers can exchange for bits.

If a Combo is used often enough, animations are activated that take over the entire chat.

Twitch aims to create an accessible and fun way for fans to give money to their favorite streamers – but not everyone can cash in.

What’s the catch? The ability to monetize one’s stream has so far been reserved for streamers who have reached Affiliate or Partner status. This year, freshly minted streamers are set to also gain access to Subs and Bits, the official revenue sources on Twitch.

However, to cash out the money, streamers still must first reach at least Affiliate status and gather a minimum of $50.

Here too, Twitch announces improvements: Streamers will be able to spend their earnings on purchases on Twitch, such as gift subs, even if they haven’t yet reached the threshold. Those who prefer to save are also in luck, as the requirements for Affiliate status are being lowered.

You can read all announcements on the official website of Twitch.

The proceeds from these Combos will be donated to charity, along with an equally large donation from Twitch itself. Twitch occasionally sees new records. A hype train record was set by a cheeky AI: Viewers donate over 215,000 € to cheeky AI on Twitch, breaking the record for the largest hype train

Even after 2 years I regularly think of a forgotten co-op shooter with dinos that far too many people missed

Niko Hernes 31. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In 2023, Capcom released an absurd multiplayer shooter full of dinosaurs. However, the game has pretty much sunk on Steam. MyMMO editor Nikolas Hernes finds that unfortunate, even if he would hardly recommend it nowadays.

What game is it about? Does anyone still remember Exoprimal? Alongside all the Monster Hunter and Resident Evil games, Capcom tried its hand at a multiplayer shooter with thousands of dinosaurs. There was quite a stir even at the release of the first trailer. Fans would have rather wished for Dino Crisis.

Despite how absurd Exoprimal looked, I was somehow immediately fascinated. A shooter where you fight hordes of dinosaurs in exosuits? Even the first trailer showcased raining raptors. How cool is that, I thought, and when it was released, I grabbed the game and was thrilled. But I guess I was one of the few who felt that way.

Start video

In the co-op shooter Exoprimal, it rains dinosaurs and you are in the middle of it

Autoplay

Mechs, Dinos, and a Good Game Feel

What does Exoprimal do well? I am a fan of mechs and absurd scenarios, which is why I liked the premise right away. Exoprimal also manages to use them well. During the various missions, great real-time moments regularly occur that even overshadow cutscenes.

Standing as a tank with a shield in front while hundreds of dinos crash against it feels just amazing. Coupled with a beautiful soundscape filled with screaming hordes and the mechanical exosuits, situations arise that I will not forget.

Then there’s Capcom’s great strength: The game feels incredibly good as a 3rd-person shooter. Every jump, every shot, and every ability feel impactful and well-animated. Especially the movement options of the various suits feel unique and give the individual classes personality. This creates a solid variety, especially since each suit serves a different purpose.

The battles become increasingly intense over time and also make good use of the sci-fi scenario to provide surprises beyond the regular dinos.

But with such an enthusiastic opinion, I am alone. Looking at the Metacritic score of 67 and the Steam reviews with 76%, the game appears to be rather mediocre. And to be honest, I can understand that.

von Dariusz Müller

A Really Unattractive Game Structure

Unfortunately, Exoprimal has 2 major issues. One is the overall mission structure. There is a main story, but it doesn’t simply follow it in a straightforward manner. You unlock new missions and cutscenes as you play enough. The missions are always multiplayer with other players. Which mission is selected was random at release.

Especially at the beginning, this meant that you often played the same missions. Additionally, the story is rather dull because you have to endure constant sci-fi mumbo jumbo that makes little sense. Since the cutscenes are not as cool in design as the missions, I honestly remember very little about them.

The other problem is the missions themselves because you play PvE, but PvEvP. In a race against another team, you have to complete the objectives to play a PvP mode at the end. The team that is faster gets to push the payload or capture the areas first.

Fighting against other mechs is fun, but it can be quite frustrating due to the race in the first stage if your team isn’t fast enough. You can transform into a dino in PvP, but that’s never as fun as playing with the mechs.

The game was clearly designed as a service game, and that has hurt Exoprimal the most.

A linear mission structure and pure PvE would have suited the title better. Exoprimal hasn’t been received well either when you look at the Steam numbers. At peak, it couldn’t even reach 5000 players (via SteamDB). According to truetrophies.com, the game had 97% fewer players at launch on PS4 and PS5 than in the Game Pass, and even on Xbox, the game only reached 6th place in the gameplay charts at launch.

The 16 MMORPGs with the most players according to official numbers from the developers

Can I recommend the game in 2025? Honestly, no. I still check in for 2 or 3 rounds regularly, and you can tell that the player numbers are quite poor. On Steam, there have been between 10 and 20 concurrent players in recent weeks (via SteamDB). You can start missions, and have bots if necessary, but you no longer get the true multiplayer experience.

The gameplay is really good, but I can’t recommend spending full price for it. However, if you see the game on sale and have one or 3 good friends with you, you could indeed have fun. If you have the Game Pass, you should definitely check it out.

No matter how many problems Exoprimal has and how empty it is nowadays, it is one of my favorite games of the past few years. You also find similarly absurd scenarios in the Yakuza series and its great open world: Ubisoft has destroyed open worlds, but the world of a great action RPG still captivates me to this day

WoW tests Patch 11.2.5 – Is the ‘Addon Ban’ finally coming?

Cortyn 31. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A mysterious patch for World of Warcraft is already being tested by Blizzard. Fans are already worried – is there a restriction on addons coming?

When Blizzard declared war on addons in World of Warcraft a few days ago, there was a lot of unrest. What does this mean for tools like ‘Deadly Boss Mods’ or ‘WeakAuras’? Shortly thereafter, there was reassurance that this was a process that would still take some time. However, a forthcoming patch has now surfaced, raising some concerns.

WoW admits: When it comes to housing, it was inspired by WildStar

Autoplay

What has been found? Dataminers have discovered within the Battle.net network that Blizzard has brought up an internal server for World of Warcraft. This is already testing an upcoming patch. However, not the major update 11.2, but the patch after that – namely 11.2.5. And that provides a lot of incentive for speculation.

What is being tested? Since the entire patch 11.2.5 is still encrypted, not much can be said about the exact details. However, there are already some well-founded speculations that at least hint at what Blizzard is testing internally.

Patch 11.2.5 could currently be used as a ‘testing ground’ for housing. After all, there was a major preview of housing a few weeks ago, where some content creators could get a closer look at the upcoming feature. Blizzard has also admitted that they were inspired by WildStar.

A second possibility is that Blizzard is now beginning to implement the ‘threatened’ restriction for addons. Because over the course of the coming months and years, the developers want to integrate more and more features into their own interface, and then gradually prohibit addons from accessing data, such as the combat log or the cooldowns of group members. This is supposed to create a better World of Warcraft for everyone.

The idea behind it is that getting started in World of Warcraft should be easier, and that the game provides all the information one wants by default. At the same time, there should be fewer opportunities for addons to simply calculate how a character must act to achieve the best results in a boss fight.

What Blizzard is actually testing here, we will probably only find out in weeks or even months. Because before patch 11.2.5 even comes close to being released, we will first have patch 11.1.7 and the major update 11.2 – and little is known about 11.2 so far.

Head of Path of Exile 2 admits mistakes in the release of updates, explains what they want to change now

Niko Hernes 31. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Although Grinding Gear Games released Path of Exile 2 in Early Access in 2024, they promised not to neglect the first part. It didn’t go as expected. In an interview, the studio head admits mistakes and explains how they intend to proceed in the future.

What is the problem? Despite promised that Path of Exile would not suffer from the Early Access release of its sequel, fans of the predecessor were waiting for new updates, and Grinding Gear Games apologized.

10 months after the last season, players could finally breathe again, as the studio finally announced a new season for the first part. In a new interview, the head of Grinding Gear Games, Jonathan Rogers, spoke about the development philosophy and what they want to improve.

They want fixed update cycles for both games

What does Jonathan Rogers say about the development of updates? In a new interview on YouTube, Jonathan Rogers spoke with Talkative Tri about the updates for the two Path of Exiles and how they approached it and how they want to proceed in the future.

Right at the beginning, Rogers explains how they approached updates in the past. They had a fixed deadline but no fixed features. They did this because, according to him, you cannot set a deadline and features at the same time. So they decided to always set the deadlines.

However, that changed for Path of Exile 2. They focused on fixed features and no fixed dates anymore, but according to Rogers, that wasn’t so good. They could no longer communicate to players when something would be released.

Now they want to change that again. They want to maintain an update cycle of 4 months for both PoE and PoE2. They align it so that when an update for PoE is released, one for PoE2 should be released 2 months later. If features are not ready by the next update, they will just move them to the next one.

Whether they will be able to maintain a fixed cycle for both games remains to be seen in the future. In game development, problems can arise quickly, which is why updates sometimes need to be postponed. Soon, Path of Exile will get a new feature: Path of Exile will finally get a simple feature after 11 years that is standard in other games

Expert warns, AI could replace half of all office jobs for entry-level positions

Cedric Holmeier 31. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The head of Chatbot Claude has commented on the future of AI and wants to make it clear to everyone what is coming for humanity.

Who is the expert? While ChatGPT from OpenAI and Gemini from Google are among the most well-known AI assistants, there are other competitors in the industry. One of them is Claude, which has been trained to “provide safe and accurate answers”.

The development of Claude is closely linked to Dario Amodei. As a former Vice President of Research at OpenAI, he decided to leave ChatGPT and founded Anthropic to realize his own vision of an AI tool. Today, Claude is considered one of the most significant AI applications in the world (via golem.de).

In a recent interview with Axios, he discusses the future of artificial intelligence and how it can be dangerous for job seekers.

AI Threatens Entry-Level Jobs

What does the CEO have to say about the future of AI? In the interview, the CEO warns about the advancement of AI. As the head of a chatbot, he sees how quickly development is progressing and how artificial intelligence is improving.

He wants to stop sugar-coating development and clearly states that AI will become a threat to job seekers. In the areas of technology, finance, law, consulting, and other office jobs, AI could, in his opinion, take over half of entry-level jobs within 5 years.

This could lead to an increase in the unemployment rate to 10% to 20% in the USA. According to lbbw.de, it currently stands at 4.2%. Artificial intelligence could thus lead to a growth in the unemployment rate between 138% and 376% if the CEO’s predictions come true.

How can this be prevented? For the CEO, it is clear that the development of artificial intelligence cannot be stopped. The competition among countries in the global market is simply too great: “Even if progress in the USA were to be slowed down, China would continue to forge ahead,” says Amodei in an interview with Axios.

He further explains: “You can’t just stand in front of the train and stop it […] The only thing that works is to steer the train – to steer it 10 degrees in a different direction than it was going before. That is feasible. That is possible, but we need to do it now.”

He holds society accountable and explains that everyone should now start working with artificial intelligence and learn how to use it. But government education is also required, believes the CEO.

The CEO also mentions an AI tax, which should add an additional 3% tax on any product where AI is used for any task. This could help to finance transformation processes, even though this tax would not be in the economic interest of the CEO.
