The streamer Dr Disrespect is grappling with the aftermath of his permanent ban from Twitch becoming known. As of now, on February 24, 2025, he has criticized his former friends Nickmercs and DrLupo. He is disappointed in both of them, as they even got to know his family, only to let him down later. But Nickmercs isn’t taking this lying down.
This is the situation: In the summer of 2020, the popular streamer Dr Disrespect was permanently banned from Twitch. At that time, he had just signed a lucrative exclusive contract and was considered, after the departure of shroud and Ninja, the face of Twitch.
For a long time, the reasons for the ban remained a mystery. Dr Disrespect continued on YouTube and largely maintained his circle of partners and friends. Influencers in the same field often cooperate with one another. Dr Disrespect was considered well-connected and was friends with many shooter streamers.
As it is known today, these were not only business relationships. Friendly streamers even got to know his family and were included in a close circle of trust. The usually distant-seeming streamer let them get close.
However, in 2024, it came to light why Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch: The married influencer, already well into his 30s at the time, had exchanged messages with a minor via Twitch chat in 2017. The messages, he later admitted, “crossed the line of being inappropriate.”
DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day
Dr Disrespect calls former close family friends wrong and cowardly
This is what Dr Disrespect now says about his former close friends: In a stream on February 24, Dr Disrespect directly targeted former friends Nickmercs and DrLupo (via x):
I think Nickmercs is the biggest piece of shit punk in the world. Lupo is obviously a huge asshole… he’s wrong.
Both content creators had met his wife and little daughter – his family had met them multiple times. But now Nickmercs spoke disparagingly about him in a “cheap podcast.” Nobody does that; only “hypocritical punks” would do such a thing. The guy thinks he’s a tough guy and can knock people out. But that’s ridiculous; he doesn’t stand a chance.
DrLupo is now screaming as loud as he can, and that in front of just 400 viewers. Dr Disrespect seems to accuse him of copying his methods.
Nickmercs.
What did Nickmercs do? The streamer distanced himself from Dr Disrespect in the podcast “Bussin’ with the Boys” last year after Dr Disrespect was linked to a 17-year-old.
In 2023, Nickmercs had trouble with Call of Duty because he posted on Twitter that teachers should leave children alone with LGBT topics. He wanted to decide as a father when his children would be confronted with the issue. Call of Duty then withdrew his own skin. Dr Disrespect showed solidarity with Nickmercs.
Nickmercs calls Dr Disrespect a dog
This is what Nickmercs says about the accusations: In response to Dr Disrespect’s attacks, Nickmercs now says (via x):
We are all wrong and hypocritical because we ended our relationship with you after you pulled crazy shit and put all your boys in an impossible situation? You want to talk about that? Then let’s talk about it. You put us all in this awkward situation because you’re a dog, you’re a dog because you’re a dog, brother.
And I’ve met a lot of dogs in my life. But when you start with under-18 shit, then you’re a different breed of dog. Then you’re just a crazy dude.
Nickmercs accuses Dr Disrespect of not taking responsibility for his actions. As a father and husband, one must say in such a situation: “I messed up; it’s on me” and not blame everyone else.
Nickmercs also hinted that his relationship with Dr Disrespect isn’t as close as he now makes it seem. In June 2024, Nickmercs said they only spoke for 8 minutes, and Dr Disrespect wore his wig the whole time (via x).
The English word dog would probably be translated into German in this context as geiler Bock, as someone who is driven by their sexual drive.
The whole situation had already been hinted at by Dr Disrespect back in October. He said he was disappointed by people who his daughter even would have called uncle, who left him in the lurch after the scandal. At that time, there was speculation about who this could refer to, and one thought more of TimTheTatman, but evidently, he is particularly bitter towards Nickmercs: DrDisrespect is disappointed by a friend for whom he did everything: “My daughter called him uncle”

World of Warcraft knows no stopping right now. Even though a mega patch just went live, the next updates are already being tested internally.
The latest patch of World of Warcraft has only been live for a few days, but the developers apparently know no breaks. Because not only is the next one (patch 11.1.5) being tested, but also the one after that, patch 11.2, is already being tested internally. The next chapter of The War Within seems to be far along in development.

WoW Patch 11.1: Gallywix’s Control over the Cartels
What has been discovered? Data miners have found out that a version of patch 11.2 has already been uploaded to the internal Blizzard servers (via wowhead). Internally, the developers have apparently already started testing the upcoming content. A clear sign that development is already far along.
However, the patch is encrypted, so the data miners cannot extract any information from it yet. This is typically only possible once the patch is also available for public testing.
What kind of patch is this? Although there is currently no reliable information available about patch 11.1, there are some hints and trustworthy leaks that stem from the beta of The War Within.
The likelihood seems high that patch 11.2 deals with the Arcane, which also had a significant presence in patch 11.1. Perhaps it will take us to K’aresh, the former homeworld of the Arcane, which was destroyed by the Void through the Void Lord Dimensius.
It is clear that the patch will bring a new area, a new raid, and also a new dungeon.
As soon as there are concrete hints about the contents of patch 11.2, we will of course report on it.
When will the patches be released? There is still no fixed release date for the patches. However, we can derive some insights from the roadmap for 2025:
Patch 11.1.5 will likely start at the beginning of spring – probably mid to late April.
Patch 11.1.7 will probably be released 8 weeks later, so mid to late June.
The major patch 11.2 will follow a few weeks later, most likely at the end of July or early August.
That Blizzard is testing several patches simultaneously on internal PTRs seems a bit unusual – but it also shows that things are moving much faster in World of Warcraft now than they did a few years ago. This might be a good thing, because if players have to spend too long in Lorenhall, it could become a problem.

A German YouTuber who has been playing almost exclusively Call of Duty for years is no longer interested in the shooter and is looking for variety.
Who is it about? The German YouTuber Cem Gülken, also known as Haptic/HapticRush, is primarily known as a content creator for Call of Duty. On his HapticRush channel, he has 900,000 subscribers and regularly gets over 200,000 views on his videos.
Haptic has been playing Call of Duty since Black Ops 1 and regularly shows in his videos and streams that he has become an expert over the years, playing the shooter at a high level.
In a new video on YouTube, Haptic explained that he no longer wants to limit his content to Call of Duty and instead wants to showcase other games as well.

Frustration over problems and a functioning shop
Why is he no longer interested in CoD? At the beginning of the video, Haptic says that he hasn’t touched Call of Duty in 3 months. He stopped playing Black Ops 6 around December when the debate about the cheating problem was particularly intense.
Haptic states that he does not miss Black Ops 6 either. The game is “the best attempt since BO3,” but he also says: “Everything around it is dog shit.”
Overall, the YouTuber emphasizes that he simply has “no desire” for Call of Duty anymore and accuses Activision of preferring to bring a “crappy Ninja Turtle collaboration” instead of fixing the game, stating: “Look, this is the most important thing for them, the shop always works flawlessly.”
Haptic started making videos about Call of Duty because he enjoyed playing it with his friends. However, for the first time, he is now in a phase where he wants to produce content for other games.
What does he criticize about Call of Duty and Activision? Haptic makes it clear that he believes Black Ops 6 is not in good shape and needs to be urgently fixed. He reports on game crashes in league matches, a delayed hitbox, and the ongoing cheating problem that Call of Duty has not been able to manage.
Haptic is also a vocal critic of skill-based matchmaking and regularly emphasizes in his videos that he has no desire to constantly play against the best 5-10% of CoD players. This is not fun and is exhausting. Even a former CoD developer thinks that SBMM is unfair to good players.
Additionally, Haptic criticizes the data that Activision collects about players. He is bothered by the fact that the game documents which operator he plays at what time and which skins he uses. Haptic asks: “Why is that important? Why is that being tracked? Does it… have anything to do with making money?” He then concludes: “We are just a lemon being squeezed.”
One of the complex systems in Monster Hunter Wilds is the combat system. In addition to elements and the status system, you need to know how to attack monsters to obtain certain resources. In our guide, we will inform you and show you everything important about fighting in the wilderness.
What should I know about fighting? In Monster Hunter Wilds, you must prove your skills as a hunter in combat against various monsters.
It is especially important to know how such a fight unfolds and what to pay attention to. To ensure you are up to date as a newbie or returning after a long break, we provide you with a brief crash course on the 101 of battles in Monster Hunter. We will cover the following topics:
Types of damage explained: Everything about the elements
Status system: Effects against hunters and monsters
Fights against monsters: What is important?
Severing and breaking: What is it and why do I need to be able to do it?
We impart the basic knowledge for the general hunt. Please note that every monster is a case unto itself. We do not offer a solution for all monsters, but you will gain a better understanding of what to pay attention to during combat in general.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Listen to the Field Expert Alma
Types of damage explained: Everything about the elements
What are elements? In Monster Hunter, there are 5 basic types of damage that hunters and monsters can deal – the 5 elements:
Fire
Water
Thunder
Ice
Dragon
While hunters can switch elements at will depending on the equipped weapon model (not weapon class), monsters are bound to theirs from birth.
As a hunter, you should therefore pay attention to elements in combat, as every monster has at least one weakness against one of the mentioned elements. If you exploit this weakness, your attacks will be more effective.
Depending on the hunted monster, you should also wear armor that increases your resistances to the opposing element. This makes you more resilient and increases your chances of survival in battle.
Status system: Effects against hunters and monsters
What are status effects? In Monster Hunter, there are also status effects besides the elements that can afflict your hunter or the hunted monster. Depending on their application, they can be very practical in combat and provide you with advantages or even hinder you on the hunt. As mentioned, we need to distinguish here between hunter and monster effects:
Status effects against hunters at a glance
Can elements also harm me? Yes, they can in the form of negative element effects. Depending on the element suffered, you will receive a status effect that can harm or hinder you in a particular way. The following are known:
Designation
Effect
Fireblight
Slowly drains your life and blocks regeneration.
Waterblight
Reduces your stamina regeneration.
Thunderblight
Can paralyze you and make you vulnerable.
Iceblight
Increases stamina consumption.
Dragonblight
Reduces the affinity of your weapon.
Explosionblight
Explosion causes you to detonate.
Berserk Infection
Takes more damage and loses natural health regeneration.
Bleeding
Takes damage with each movement.
Webbed
Makes you unable to move.
Heat
Hot places drain your health.
Cold
In cold places, your stamina decreases faster.
Poisons
Slowly drains your life.
Sleep
Causes you to fall asleep and makes you vulnerable for a few seconds.
It is important to either dodge the monsters’ attacks well or to have items with you to heal the respective blight or disease. Only hunters can be affected by such effects.
Note the following: Often, even one attack from the monster is enough to trigger the respective status effect. So be very careful in combat and try to avoid or block attacks.

Status effects against monsters at a glance
What status effects are there against monsters? Monsters are also not spared from status effects. Depending on the equipped weapon model, you can inflict effects on your enemies that can make the fight easier for you. You should know these:
Symbol
Designation
Effect
Poisons
Poisons slowly drain a monster’s health for a short time.
Sleep
The monster briefly falls asleep. The first attack wakes it up but deals more damage.
Paralysis
The monster is paralyzed and cannot move for a short time.
Explosionblight
Explosion accumulates with attacks. Once a threshold is reached, a detonation occurs.
Fatigue
If blunt damage reaches a certain threshold, the monster loses a part of its stamina.
Stun
Many attacks to the head with a blunt weapon can stun the monster and make it vulnerable.
The effects are very practical and can also change the course of a fight; unfortunately, they are not activated instantly like with monsters after only one attack.
To debuff the monsters, you need to hit them multiple times until the unseen status bar is filled. It is not about the force of the blows but their frequency. Fast weapons like dual blades are excellent for status builds. Weapons like the hammer are less suitable for this.
Fights against monsters: What is important?
In combat, it is primarily about analyzing the attacks of your opponent and knowing what you are dealing with. The following factors play a role:
What elements does the monster fight with?
Is the monster slow or fast, and can it fly?
Can the terrain hinder or even support me?
Depending on the monster, your priority should then be to slow it down or even wound it so much that it cannot flee. The second advantage is that it will be easier for you to land your hits when the monster is not wildly dancing through nature.
Monsters can also overwhelm you – be prepared.
In combat, it is important to have the right equipment, such as weapons that deal the element to which your hunted monster is weak. Additionally, you should wear armor that provides good protection against the opposing element. You can find such information in the monster lexicon.
In critical situations, you can also be creative. You do not fight alone, as other monsters can intervene in the battle and injure your hunted monster. Bushes and treetops can also enhance your control over the battlefield and contribute to slowing down your opponent.
But that is not all. The goal of every hunter is to slay or capture the monster in such a way that you receive the materials needed for future items. It is important to know what “severing” and “breaking” means.
Severing and breaking: What is it and why do I need to know how to do it?
There are two ways you can significantly injure your opponent, and they boil down to the following:
Breaking limbs and body parts
Severing limbs
You can break body parts by hammering with blunt force on armor and other parts. Breaking causes the monsters to become severely and permanently injured – thus, they may perform some of their attacks weaker or not at all, benefiting you in combat.
Some monsters have tails or wings in addition to their armor that you can sever. Use blade weapons for this. Lacerations will sever the attacked body parts. Ideally, you will limit the movement of your monsters.
Finally, the greatest advantage of the severing or breaking mechanic is that you can increase the number of captured materials. It is advantageous to attack sensitive body regions of your monster in order to slay it quickly, efficiently, and with the highest profit.
To this end, you can also use the new focus attacks that have been introduced with Monster Hunter Wilds – they deal so much damage to wounds that they are destroyed. You can find more about Monster Hunter Wilds here: 7 things you should not forget in Monster Hunter Wilds

In the hardcore mode of Diablo 4, you permanently lose your player character if they die. This happened to a player – but not due to a nasty boss or a silly mistake.
This is hardcore mode:
In Diablo 4, there is the hardcore mode, where player characters can die permanently – so you only have one life.
How did the player lose their hero? In a post on Reddit, daemon-au reported on February 26, 2025, that their player character was killed by their mercenary Subo. The new mercenaries were introduced with the first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, and are supposed to assist you in combat. In this case, however, Subo took on the role of the opponent.
Start video
Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred shows Mercenaries in gameplay trailer
“You can’t trust your mercenary anymore”
How can this happen? The player suspects that this is related to a bugged witch power. The witch powers are the new mechanic in Season 7. One of them, Twilight Warding, creates a barrier that absorbs damage – and from rank 12, it reflects enemy projectiles.
As early as late January, there was speculation in another Reddit thread that this very ability might be bugged. zuulbe commented: “Yes, I believe that Twilight Warding is completely bugged at higher dungeon levels. I think the reflected damage kills us.”
Blizzard confirmed the bug on February 14, 2025, in the patch notes and announced a fix: “A problem was resolved where Twilight Warding could cause players to harm themselves. This power will be reactivated once the update goes live.” Patch 2.1.2 went live on February 18.
Whether the bug still exists or daemon-au lost their hero in hardcore mode for another reason remains unclear. The screenshot in the post clearly shows: “Daejavu was slain by a Subo.”
Many in the comments agree: Bugs like this are the reason they prefer to avoid hardcore mode. There are simply too many bugs and connection issues that can send your character to the beyond. Kellerhefe jokes: “You can’t trust your mercenary these days. RIP.”
If the mercenaries aren’t adding damage due to bugs, they are a useful addition in Diablo 4. Subo reveals enemies and resources on your minimap. On top of that, the mercenaries bring their own merchant with whom you can get important mats.

Weighing in at 47 grams, the Turtle Beach Burst II Air is one of the lightest gaming mice currently available. But what does the model offer aside from its lightweight? MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tested the mouse and explains whether the model is worth it.
47 grams. That’s about the weight of a half a chocolate bar or a large chocolate candy bar today. Or the Turtle Beach Burst II Air, which also weighs only 47 grams, making it one of the lightest gaming mice you can find on the market today. Even the popular G Pro X 2 Superlight from Logitech (for the test) weighs a whole lot more at 63 grams.
In the following test, I took a look at the Burst II Air from Turtle Beach. However, I just couldn’t get used to its ergonomics in my daily use.
At MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019. Besides the PC and the PS5, I am now also using the Steam Deck.

Scope of delivery, design, and build
What does the scope of delivery look like? Besides the gaming mouse, the package includes a wireless USB transmitter, a USB-C-to-A cable, and additional mouse feet and optional grip tape.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
How is the mouse built? You can purchase the mouse in different colors, I am using the black model in the test.
On the top of the mouse are the main buttons with the scroll wheel in between. There are no other buttons on top of the mouse.
Underneath the mouse, there is a space to store the USB transmitter and a switch to toggle between wireless and Bluetooth. There are no additional buttons.
On the left side, there are two additional buttons in the thumb area.
At the far front left of the mouse, in front of the thumb buttons, there is a tiny button. In shooter mice, this is often referred to as a sniper button; Turtle Beach calls this button the DPI button.
The underside is designed like a honeycomb pattern. The big problem after just a few days: the underside collects dust and dirt and especially cat hair. The gaps underneath the mouse are so large that dust, dirt, and hair can easily enter the inner casing of the mouse. No household is likely to be completely dust-free.
What is special? The entire mouse relies on a very subdued design. Turtle Beach entirely forgoes RGB or other gimmicks.
Processing
The Burst II Air features a plastic shell. Due to its low weight (47 grams), the mouse sounds very hollow. However, during the pressure and shake test, there are no sounds or sensations. Even the scroll wheel stays where it is supposed to be. The USB-C port of the mouse is broad enough so that you can also use external USB cables for charging the mouse.
The underside of the mouse is, as explained above, partially open to reduce weight. The opening is partly covered by black and white striped cardboard, but the area is never completely closed. This allows dirt, grime, and hair to enter the mouse. I cannot yet say how this will impact the durability of the mouse in the long term.
The underside of the Turtle Beach Burst II Air is partially open. This is good for weight but not for cleanliness.
Software
Turtle Beach now uses the software “Swarm II” for all devices. The software is clear and all important functions can be found via a large overview within the software. Most settings in the software are more or less explained in tooltips, sufficient for an introduction.
Updates for the mouse can be installed quickly and easily through Swarm II. Everything works swiftly and flawlessly.
Swarm II: Now designed in a clear manner, though it presents a lot of information at once.
Weight, ergonomics, and battery life
The weight: At 47 grams, the gaming mouse is unusually light. That’s about the weight of a larger chocolate bar like Cachet or Cote D’Or, which also weigh 47 grams.
The ergonomics: I have very large hands with a size of 19 centimeters. But I must honestly say: I do not find the mouse comfortable for everyday use. For a lightweight mouse aimed primarily at shooter players, it feels too wide towards the back, making it uncomfortable to grip.
Additionally, when I grip or hold the mouse, the wide side presses heavily on the area between my palm and thumb. This becomes uncomfortable over time, as the thumb does not rest comfortably. Other mice handle this much more pleasantly overall.
As a result, my pinky finger on my right hand cramps over time, making it very uncomfortable after several hours. However, for smaller hands, this problem might not be as pronounced.
In comparison: The G309 from Logitech has a slimmer design but is similarly sized, resting much more comfortably in hand and allowing for a much more relaxed grip. And the pinky does not cramp.
Another thing that really bothers me is the additional button at the very front of the Burst II Air: I previously had to complain about the sniper button placed too far forward on the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K (for the test). And the Burst II Air takes this idea to the extreme. The little button, referred to by the manufacturer as the DPI button, is not only extremely far forward but also so small that it’s almost unreachable, even in an uncomfortable position. Who on earth came up with the idea to place the button there?
It becomes truly absurd when you try to reach the button while holding the mouse in a claw grip or fingertip grip. That is practically impossible.
The small button on the Turtle Beach Burst II Air is very far forward and almost unreachable for me.
Battery life: The manufacturer states that the battery life is around 120 hours. Because the mouse forgoes all gimmicks like RGB, it surprisingly comes close to the stated time in everyday use, at least when using the mouse via the wireless adapter.
The mouse buttons, scroll wheel, and sensor
The mouse buttons: Under the buttons are optical Titan switches. Turtle Beach uses these switches in all newer mice, including the Kone II Air (for the test). The click feels satisfying and robust, but the sound is very dull and hollow. This is a distinct contrast to other mice that predominantly sound high and sharp.
You can listen to the Burst II compared to the G309 from Logitech:
Turtle Beach Burst II Air mouse click recording.Logitech G309 mouse click recording.
The scroll wheel: The scroll wheel has always been something of a weakness in mice from Roccat and Turtle Beach. However, the scroll wheel on the Burst II Air is impressive: the rotation is stiff and thus precisely usable for steps. You won’t get a free-spinning scroll wheel here.
Sensor: The Burst II Air contains an Owl-Eye sensor, which is a Pixart derivative, meaning a collaboration. Turtle Beach also implements this sensor in all newer mice. My experience is that the sensor is very accurate and precise when used wired. However, precision suffers when you use the mouse wirelessly. This is particularly evident during practical tests of the sensor curves. Razer and Logitech offer significantly better wireless models.
Conclusion: Very light, but quite uncomfortable
Who is the mouse suitable for? Are you looking for an extremely lightweight mouse without frills? Then with the Burst II Air, you get exactly that more or less. The battery life is optimal, the sensor varies between excellent (wired) and decent (wireless), but the ergonomics leave much to be desired with my large hands. Even after several weeks, I still can’t get used to the ergonomics and prefer heavier but more comfortable alternatives.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What alternatives are available?
Logitech’s G309 is my recommendation for under 70 Euros: good haptics, pleasant ergonomics, and a long battery life.
The Nyfter Nyf 22 remains a brilliant insider tip for me if you are looking for a lightweight mouse that you can fully customize.
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste (2) is also a recommendation for under 100 Euros. The sensor is not as good as the competition’s, but you get excellent ergonomics and decent battery life.

League of Legends has had a poor standing in large parts of the community since the new season 2025. Many innovations have been heavily criticized by the community. However, Riot has now provided an update and is partially backtracking.
Why was Riot criticized? With the new season of LoL, there were many changes in 2025 that were not just gameplay-related. Due to a new battle pass structure and a new type of skin that started in 2024, there was a lot of criticism from the community.
These changes were perceived as “greedy”. Apparently, after supposedly losing some players, especially paying players, in 2024, Riot Games wanted to squeeze more money out of the existing players.
All of this led to parts of the community complaining in many places, such as under regular videos or in response to posts from Riot. The major criticism that Riot Games is getting too greedy seems to have prompted some action, as Riot is now addressing many of the complaints, as they explain in a new blog post.

Riot changes the Battle Pass again, addressing other points of criticism
What will change? In a new blog post on their official website and a developer video on YouTube, Riot announces that they will revise many systems after the significant criticism from players. They state: We want to put players first, and if our decisions do not turn out as we envisioned, it can damage your trust.
The following adjustments will take place in the future:
The free Hextech chests will return. There will be 10 per act, 8 of them in the free battle pass, 2 through a Honor system. According to Riot, this means up to 60 free chests per year. They are set to return with Patch 25.05.
The cost in Blue Essence for each champion will be halved with Patch 25.05.
The new Exalted-Mordekaiser skin will be delayed to improve it. Generally, the quality of the battle pass is set to be improved.
The purchased battle pass will have one less skin, but you will receive 25 mythical essence in the pass.
The Clash mode is set to return monthly.
The Your Shop is expected to return in Patch 25.06.
With Patch 25.07, the Blue Essence Emporium is set to return, where you can purchase skins with Blue Essence.
With these changes, Riot is addressing many of the points of criticism from recent months. Another major point of criticism is the Exalted gacha system, which is not intended to change in general, but they do want to adjust the quality for the next skin. They also aim to make advertising for the Exalted system in the launcher less intrusive.
During the Pokémon Presents, gameplay footage of Pokémon Legends: Z-A was presented for the first time. It showcases the gigantic city of Illumina City and how trainers can navigate within it.
What can be seen in the trailer? The video showcases Illumina City from the Kalos region in all its splendor. Some of you may know the city from Pokémon X and Y. There are numerous buildings that adorn the city. In the center of the city stands the Prism Tower.
Amidst all the skyscrapers, cafes, and shopping centers, it is possible to engage in Pokémon battles. Players can choose from three starter Pokémon:
Chikorita
Tepig
Snivy
The special feature: There are wild areas in the city. These regions are habitats for wild Pokémon, where you can go on a quest for pocket monsters.
You can watch the presentation showcasing the game here:

Pokémon Legends Z-A: First Trailer for the Gameplay of the Switch Game
How does the battle system work now? To catch a Pokémon, you need to aim at the respective pocket monster with a Poké Ball and capture it. After that, you can use it in trainer battles. The battles take place not in rigid rounds, but dynamically in the environment. Both you and your Pokémon move around the city, including during battles.
You have four attacks available as quick access, which you can use to attack the opposing Pokémon. Special effects come into play, but they don’t seem to damage the city – even during earthquake attacks.
For the first time in the Pokémon series, the attacks have an area of effect and range. Therefore, your Pokémon needs to position itself well, and the timing must be right, so the opponent cannot dodge the attack. Pokémon can even undergo Mega Evolution.
Depending on which gender you choose, you will encounter a different companion in the city: Alton or Zita. The hotel where we stay belongs to Azett and his partner Floette. However, there are many other characters you will encounter who manage the design of the city.
When will the title be released? Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be released in late 2025 for Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, the exact date was not specified in the presentation.
Another game showcased during the Pokémon Presents is Pokémon TCG Pocket. A new expansion A2a was revealed here. The star of the booster is Arceus-ex, the god of Pokémon. We can already mention the other cards from the expansion: Pokémon TCG Pocket: When is the new set A2a coming? All information

Games are meant to be fun, a sentiment most gamers probably agree with, but titles like Elden Ring or Returnal are also supposed to offer a unique challenge. A gamer admitted to himself for the first time in 30 years that a game is simply too difficult for him.
Which game is too difficult for the gamer? The game is called Sifu (PC, console), a fighting game from the French indie studio Sloclap. The player explained on Reddit that the game has shown him his gaming limits.
“I have been playing video games for over 30 years and was always the best player in my environment,” he says, adding, “Some time ago, I finally got my hands on Sifu and was so overwhelmed by the sheer number of moves and combos that I just couldn’t keep up anymore.”
The very start of the game caused him problems, and he quickly realized that the game was too difficult for him: “I even had trouble getting through the tutorial.” After the second mission, he gave up.

The unique feature of Sifu is a mysterious amulet that brings you back to life with each death but causes you to age faster. So, you begin your quest for revenge at a young age but only complete it in old age – even though only a short amount of time has passed.
Aging also brings consequences that you will feel in combat. The older you are, the less health you have, and you can withstand fewer hits before you go down again. Conversely, however, your own attacks also become stronger with increasing age.
But if you die too often, you will eventually no longer be resurrected, and the game ends.
What makes Sifu so difficult? On one hand, there is of course the aging process of the protagonist. You must refrain from getting hit with each death to avoid dying again. However, this is not so easy when fighting often outnumbered or against strong opponents with weapons.
On the other hand, there is the control itself. Sifu requires you to master various key combinations and timings to avoid getting hit and to land hits yourself. You must play calmly and methodically and cannot just progress through the story by button-mashing.
Additionally, Sifu differs from other fighting games like Tekken or Street Fighter, which use a 2D view. Sifu is played from a shoulder perspective. You move in 3D spaces where enemies can attack from all directions. This makes it harder to keep the combat situation in sight and under control.
If you enjoy difficult games, you might also have an interest in Soulslikes. Although you can still progress in the game after hundreds of deaths, the genre-typical challenging boss battles will still provide a decent challenge. Look forward to these 5 upcoming Soulslikes in 2025.

Two more promo codes for Pokémon GO will be available on February 27, 2025. You can again receive fusion energy and a Pokémon.
On March 1 and 2, the global Einall Tour in Pokémon GO will take place. At this major event, you can catch Pokémon from the Einall region, take advantage of bonuses, and especially catch the new Kyurem.
The fusion forms of Kyurem will be among the best Pokémon you can use in the game. But in order to use them, you need fusion energy. You will receive some of it now through a new promo code.
This is the code:
RCC4AJPAUCW86
With the code, you will receive 50 Brand-fusion energies. You need them if you want to fuse Kyurem with Reshiram to obtain white Kyurem. However, you need a total of 1,000 energies – so you’ll need to collect more over the weekend if you want to have them for the fusion.
Update, February 27, 2024, 3:20 PM: Another code has been activated. When you enter it, you will receive a Pokémon choice between Serpifeu, Floink, and Ottaro. You can then encounter the chosen Pokémon twice with a special background.
This is the second code:

Other codes currently active in Pokémon GO
As part of the current Path to Einall event, leading up to the GO Tour, more codes have been released that you can currently enter in Pokémon GO.
There is a code that gives you three legendary Pokémon
Redeeming the codes is no longer possible in the game as it used to be. Instead, you need to log in to the Pokémon GO webstore to enter the codes. Here’s how:
After that, you can log in to the game and claim your reward. You should receive a corresponding notification in the game. Additionally, you can check the journal to see if and which items you have last received via code. You can find this at the bottom left of the character menu.
Note that you should hurry with the codes as you never know how long they will remain active.
What you should also know about Kyurem: The fusion forms you can obtain with fusion energy have the ability to master their own special moves. You will receive these if you fuse a Kyurem that knows the move Ice Age with Reshiram or Zekrom. The special moves of the fusion forms can also be used outside of battles for bonuses. You can read all about these adventure effects here.

Even before the official show for Pokémon Day, which is set to take place on February 27, 2025, at 3:00 PM, new content for Pokémon TCG Pocket has been revealed. There is one detail that fans are particularly excited about.
Update: The feature has now been confirmed for the end of March 2025.
What new content is there? Fans can look forward to 2 new pieces of content that will launch in March 2025. These include a new mode and a new set:
The new set is called “Triumphant Light” and brings Arceus-ex into the digital trading card game. This Pokémon has the special ability of not being affected by other special abilities. The leak comes from a TikTok ad (via Reddit).
Additionally, there is supposed to be a new Ranked mode. This will likely rank players based on their skill and number of wins in PvP mode. The leak comes from the X user who has also previously published the trading rules and some sets in advance.
The Ranked mode is set to be released in March 2025. No date was mentioned in the ad for the new set. However, thanks to previous leaks, we can assume that the next set will be released on February 28, 2025, one day after Pokémon Day.
The next set is an addition to the two boosters from Collision of Space and Time:

What are players excited about in the new Ranked mode? In some comments, users write in a Reddit thread that the Ranked mode finally creates an incentive to check back into the game. Many collectors had only logged in to complete events. Aside from that, there was no exciting mode for them.
This is also clear when looking at other threads on Reddit: Here there are numerous memes showing users during their daily rounds through the app. They open their packs, find only common cards, and close the app again.

Netflix regularly brings huge movies from renowned directors that hardly or not at all make it to theaters. For a new sci-fi film, they are once again collaborating with the masterminds behind Marvel’s Avengers films and are investing a gigantic budget.

The release of Monster Hunter Wilds is just around the corner. Many fans are taking a few days off or suddenly feel “sick“ to go hunting. The studio behind Palworld anticipated this and announced special leave.
When is Monster Hunter Wilds released? Monster Hunter Wilds will open its doors on February 28, 2025, at 00:00 CET for consoles. At 06:00, PC players will also be able to join. By this time, fans have likely already taken time off to ensure they don’t miss the release.
However, there are also fans who suddenly fall ill and cannot show up for work. The studio behind Palworld anticipated this, and before its employees have to explain themselves, they now have special leave.

Special Leave to Prevent Illness
What did Palworld announce? On x.com, Palworld prepared an announcement stating: “For some reason, we have received reports from many employees that they might feel unwell tomorrow, so tomorrow has been designated as a special leave day.”
Monster Hunter Wilds was not specifically mentioned, but it is very likely that some fans of the series wanted to “sneak” that free day to enjoy the game. Therefore, to prevent anyone from being put on the spot, special leave is now provided.
Why is this not unusual? In the gaming industry, alongside competition, there is also mutual respect. Developers like to try other titles from the same genre for inspiration – like Rod Fergusson, the head of Diablo 4, with Path of Exile 2. However, there are also other studio heads who go so far as to delay the release of their own games to enjoy products from competitors.
The best example is Naoki Yoshida, the head of Final Fantasy 14. Out of respect for the release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, he delayed the release of the then-upcoming expansion “Dawntrail” just so fans would have enough time to play both expansions (via Twitch).
In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can adjust the time and seasons to obtain specific items. MyMMO will reveal how to exploit this somewhat hidden feature. You can also find more about the release here in our overview: Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Change the Time and Season in the Game

After a confusing stream on Twitch, viewers are concerned about the content creator “Shelbo”. He apparently believes he is in a relationship with the well-known streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys. There might be a nasty scam behind this.
What kind of streamer is this?
“Shelbo” is a relatively small content creator. His most popular videos on YouTube are about tablets and monitors, and on Twitch, he showcased Overwatch and Valorant.
In 2024, Shelbo participated in the talent show “OTK’s Top Streamer” by the gaming organization One True King.
However, for several months now, his content has been taking a increasingly concerning direction. The streamer seems to have imagined a relationship with Imane “Pokimane” Anys. He appears to have fallen for a scam.
Pokimane has long been regarded as the “Queen” of Twitch. In the German scene, there are also some big female streamers:

What is the situation? Shelbo seems to have been fixated on the Twitch streamer Pokimane since December 2024. He claims to have a relationship with the streamer and posts about rings he wants to buy for her. However, a larger audience became aware of the situation through a post on r/LivestreamFail, the largest streaming community on Reddit.
In a thread with more than 5,800 upvotes, a livestream by Shelbo was shared on the evening of February 26, 2025. In the clip, the streamer claims to have been in contact with Pokimane for several months. The streamer claims she contacted him from a personal account and asked him for $70, about 66 euros.
Since then, he has been giving her money regularly in exchange for being able to talk to her. Overall, he is said to have already given her about 5,200 euros. Additionally, he flew to California for about 470 euros to visit the streamer.
There, he claims to have lived on the street for about two weeks before finding shelter.
The streamer also mentions several hospital stays. In a video on YouTube, he claims, however, that the doctors are witches, and God is helping him.
If you are suffering from mental health problems or are worried about people in your environment, you can also find psychenet resources. In acute crises, you can reach the Telephone Counseling anonymously and free of charge at 0800 1110111 / 0800 1110222 or 116 123.
Viewers are concerned about the streamer
How is this being discussed? On Reddit, viewers are expressing their concern. They believe that this is not a stunt to gain attention, but that Shelbo needs professional help.
Users believe that Shelbo has fallen for a so-called catfish. On X, formerly Twitter, an account is apparently impersonating Pokimane using an AI video. Posts claim it is a private account of the streamer, through which she communicates with her “top fans”.
The Twitch streamer roflgator comments under the post that he tried to help Shelbo and talk to him. But he did not want to listen and unfollowed him on X (via Reddit).
This case is reminiscent of the story of a French woman from January 2025 who thought, she was engaged to Brad Pitt.
In Monster Hunter Wilds you can adjust the time and seasons to obtain certain items. MeinMMO reveals how you can make use of this somewhat hidden feature.
What does changing the time do? In Monster Hunter Wilds, you not only have a normal day-and-night cycle but also dynamic weather and seasons. All of this affects the game world and also how monsters hunt players.
Furthermore, certain items depend on the environment and only appear under specific conditions. Day and seasons also affect resource nodes and life itself in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds Shows What It Has to Offer in Launch Trailer
Rest to manipulate time
How do I change the time? To change the time, you first need to complete the main story and have a high rank. Go to your tent, either from the base camp or from a set-up camp. Then go to the grill menu and choose the option to rest.
Now you can choose between three environment types:
Abundant
Fallow
Uncertainty
… and four times of day:
Morning
Day
Evening
Night
But the changes are not free: Each time you have to pay 300 guild points. So you should only use the ability sparingly when you really need to obtain a specific item, such as the Sandstar.
If you play with others, the time shift only applies to you, not to your teammates. Only after the change should you connect your environment so that you can play together in one time.
Feeling like dungeons – but not in the mood for MMORPGs? One game aims to make exactly that possible and targets players of World of Warcraft.
Dungeons in MMORPGs are a different breed. Some might dislike the challenge and social interactions of these challenges, while others would prefer to just play dungeons and have no interest in all the “fuss” around it. Leveling up, completing quests, farming resources – that can be annoying.
If you’re only into the pure dungeon experience, you should check out Fellowship. Because Fellowship brings MMORPG dungeons – just without all the annoying MMORPG stuff.
Start video
New Trailer for the Fellowship Playtest Showcases Cooperative Dungeon Spectacle
What kind of game is Fellowship? Fellowship is essentially a pure dungeon game. While there is a social hub where you can look for group members or practice with some training dummies, there isn’t a large game world like in MMORPGs – instead, there are dungeons, and everything revolves around them.
Currently, a group in Fellowship consists of one tank, one healer, and 2 DPS characters.
However, you don’t create your own characters; instead, you have fixed heroes to choose from, stepping into their roles.
Bosses and dungeons strongly resemble “Mythic+” in WoW.
WoW dungeons, just without the WoW fluff
The parallels to World of Warcraft are often obvious. You can increase the difficulty of the dungeons. Then they get a timer, and later on additional modifiers (“curses”) that add further challenges. This already sounds very much like the affix system from WoW and plays out pretty similarly.
At the same time, the complexity of your characters also increases with the difficulty. While the mage character at the beginning essentially only has damage abilities, later he gains defensive abilities, interrupts from enemies, or buffs for the entire group. So, the complexity and options of your character also increase with the difficulty.
Those who enjoy challenging dungeons with increasing difficulty will likely find happiness in Fellowship.
As a group of 4, you venture into the dungeons – the group has recently been reduced from 5 to 4.
How much will Fellowship cost? Currently, you can play the free demo on Steam, but later Fellowship will have a fixed price. However, this will only be a one-time purchase – there won’t be additional costs such as a subscription. New game content like dungeons and characters will be directly accessible to everyone. Only cosmetic adjustments might come as paid shop items to ensure the continued development of the game (via pcgamer.com).
Who is Fellowship suitable for? That’s a good question, and not so easy to answer. Most likely, Fellowship is suited for anyone who wants to enjoy dungeon content but finds the rest of an MMORPG rather tedious and annoying. If you don’t want to spend time leveling, grinding, farming resources, and unlocking content, then Fellowship will give you exactly what you want.
However, anyone currently playing MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy will likely ask themselves: Why would I want to leave my character, which I have built up over the years, and play a “no-name” hero?
That’s a question that the developers will likely have to answer as well. Because even if Fellowship offers really good dungeon content and will likely reach this player niche perfectly, it may be difficult to pull fans away from their games who simply do not want to play only dungeons.
At least during the ongoing “Steam Next Fest”, everyone can get an impression of Fellowship for themselves. And who knows: If you have never participated in “endgame dungeons” in your MMORPGs, then Fellowship is probably the simplest entry you will ever get into this kind of gameplay. For that reason alone, it is worth a look. And if this kind of game doesn’t appeal to you, check out the 10 titles that belong to the super-desired God-Tier on Steam.
