On Sunday, April 19, during the CAGGTUS Leipzig 2026, there was an incident of physical violence. A player punched his opponent in the face during the award ceremony of the CS2 tournament.
What was the incident? The CAGGTUS is a gaming festival hosted by the Leipzig Messe, which has been welcoming thousands of guests annually since 2023 and offers Germany’s largest LAN area, where LAN tournaments in various games are played, including Counter-Strike 2 (short CS2).
The final of the CS2 tournament was contested on Saturday, April 18, by the teams “Legendenlobbys” and “Full Shock”. As a result, there was an incident of physical violence on Sunday (via Twitch).
The CS2 player and Twitch streamer “MAUschine” from the runner-up team “Full Shock” punched his opponent “Spidergum” from “Legendenlobby” in the face as the players of the top three teams gathered for the award ceremony on stage at CAGGTUS.

What were the circumstances? During the final, Spidergum provoked his opponent by reportedly shouting a quote from MAUschine loudly through the LAN area of CAGGTUS. Later, MAUschine watched a clip of the scene and reacted with the words: “If I had seen that earlier, I would have knocked him out” (via Twitch). When he later ended his stream, he allegedly told his viewers not to miss the award ceremony the following day. However, the recording of the stream has since been deleted.
Organizers comment on the incident at CAGGTUS 2026
This is what the organizers say: We approached the organizers of CAGGTUS about the incident and requested a statement. Here you can read the statement from CAGGTUS Leipzig:
We take the incident very seriously and are currently carefully considering any legal action against the aggressor to respond appropriately to this incident. The person was immediately removed from the stage after the incident.
Of course, we at Leipzig Messe work with comprehensive security concepts for events like CAGGTUS Leipzig – details of which will not be shared publicly. For procedural reasons, we will not comment further on the incident at this time, but we will keep our community informed as soon as we can share updates.
In any case, we want to emphasize that we strictly reject all forms of violence – whether physical or verbal provocation. We have a community at CAGGTUS that also subscribes to these values and is committed to an inclusive, safe, and respectful festival.
These are the other consequences of the action: For MAUschine, the assault has already had its first consequences outside of CAGGTUS. The DACH CS Masters announced that the streamer is banned from their events for at least 10 years and that the incident has also been reported to the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC).

The new pirate game Windrose is currently conquering Steam with hundreds of thousands of captains. One of them is MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus, who fell in love with the sandbox game in the first hour. Now he has encountered a real blocker for the first time, and it packs a punch.
From the gameplay to the excellent shanties, Windrose does a lot right. I don’t want to gush too much right now; you can read my praise in the preview report, which hasn’t changed much.
What I have realized, however, is that the game can be really nasty. It’s not just a little: at one point after about 12-13 hours, I died more times in a few minutes than in the entire previous time.
After over 100,000 players logged into Windrose at the beginning, there are now over 220,000 (according to SteamDB). So maybe one or the other captain can learn something from my suffering…

The pirate survival game Windrose finally has a release date, and it is already very close on the horizon
Windrose suddenly gets tougher and really hits me hard
Like most survival games, Windrose has different biomes where you can find different materials. After the “coastal jungle” comes the “foothills,” which can only be unlocked after a boss fight.
The boss itself was surprisingly easy. However, I quickly ran out of quests in the “old” area and had to move on. Right here, Windrose threw me in the dirt, kicked me while I was down, and spit on me before laughing at me.
In the foothills, there are plenty of new rewards, but also challenges:
Here I find materials to craft better gear or cook food.
Certain “Points of Interest” bring small puzzles for special rewards and treasures.
And finally, the area is teeming with totally overpowered wolves and hyper-aggressive goats.
Seriously, who the hell thought up these nasty creatures?! The wild boars in the jungle were already tough but at least somewhat predictable. These damn goats? Every attack from them looks exactly like they’re backing off. Totally unpredictable (just like in real life).
And the wolves are on steroids. One of them can jump at me and tear my throat out – which costs nearly 60% of my health and leaves me bleeding. The only help is a bandage, but try bandaging yourself when three more mutts are gnawing on you.
[The following remarks are from an insult book for pirates and are not suitable for publication on Mein-MMO]
My loyal companion Truffle here was one of the few reasons I didn’t go crazy.
My real nemesis was my own stubbornness
These wolves are a true plague, especially in ruins where you can hardly avoid them. In just such a ruin, I found my masters. Not animals, but just pirates.
I don’t know what stimulants the developers gave them, but I died multiple times under a hail of musket balls and grenades (why not?) and a whirlwind of sabers.
Moreover, the pirates deal a lot of damage. I mean not just a little: a saber hit can easily take a quarter to a third off a large health bar, and a musket ball almost half. And now try to fight 5 of those crazies at the same time.
In the end, I used up about 30 high-quality foods and even more healing potions just to conquer this mini-dungeon. I quit the game with Alt+F4 in between and only returned the next day. I could have made it easier for myself…
Why? Because my gear was actually already in a good state, I was just at the beginning of the “new chapter” and the new materials needed a lot of farming work. I wasn’t in the mood for that.
But when I finally got through the ruin after far too long of “pushing my head through the wall,” I got iron, flax, and hardwood to improve my weapons and armor, and behold: suddenly I don’t die constantly anymore. Maybe I should read my own articles more often. A little upgrade in the gear with the help of our guide to the best armors in Windrose also helped.
After my little outburst and a new digression into the new expansion of Diablo 4 (where you can read the preview report on April 21) I am now building my second ship, a proud brig with the majestic name Triomphante. And despite my own stupidity, I am not the only one who apparently has to take a beating first before things get better: Players first notice how to parry in Windrose after 20 hours, sharing valuable tips for beginners

Valve has released a live update: This includes significant improvements for the Steam Deck and players on Linux.
What is this update? Valve has been diligently improving the gaming experience on Linux and the Steam Deck for years.
The core behind the improvements is Proton, which is a Windows compatibility layer for Linux that enables gaming on Linux, SteamOS, and SteamOS-based consoles like the Steam Deck.
Valve has now released the beta of Proton 11.0, and you can start using the update right now.

Wine 11 brings significant improvements for Linux and the Steam Deck
What does the update bring? With the upgrade to Wine 11, several enhancements come that will significantly increase the framerate in your games. The most important update is likely the support for NTSync. This primarily reduces the high CPU load when you are gaming. A developer is primarily responsible for the development of NTSync.
The benefit of the improvements is mainly a significantly higher framerate when playing your games on the Steam Deck. Until now, you had to contend with certain limitations on the Steam Deck and under Linux, but with the update to Wine 11, there should be significant improvements.
Furthermore, Proton/Wine 11 improves compatibility with various third-party launchers, such as EA, Rockstar, and REDLauncher. This means many games can now be started without additional bug fixes.
Can you already use the update? Yes! On the Steam Deck, you can already select Proton 11 (Beta) via the “Compatibility” tab and try out the update directly. You definitely need to check a box under “Compatibility” to access additional settings; otherwise, Steam will use the default version set by the developer.
If you are playing on the Steam Deck or under Linux, definitely use the beta update Proton 11. It can already be worthwhile, depending on which game it is.
MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes long believed that no horror movie could truly frighten him. However, a new tip has shown him the opposite: precisely with a cheap trick.
Before I spontaneously watched Obsession – You Shall Love Me by Curry Barker at the Fantasy Filmfest Nights 2026, I didn’t expect much. I’d heard the title before, but couldn’t place it that evening. The film quickly showed me that I can still be scared and frightened in the cinema.
Start video
The 1st trailer for the horror movie Obsession makes a man regret his greatest wish
After a seemingly cheap trick, things took off
What is Obsession about? The premise is quite simple. Bear, played by Michael Johnston, is in love with his girlfriend Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette. However, he doesn’t dare to tell her. One evening, he finds a wish stick in an esoteric shop, originally intended as a gift for Nikki. After a frustrating drive, he uses the stick himself and wishes for Nikki to love him as much as nothing else in the world. Well, he got his wish.
At first, I was skeptical because the quite reduced look initially put me off. But then came a scene that essentially comes from the horror mothball chest. A person lies in bed and sees something in a dark corner. As a viewer, you can’t even tell if there’s really something there. I knew what was going to happen, but it still startled me.
This was not just due to the jump scare setup, but mainly because of the situation. The central core of Obsession is love. The film even works with romcom aesthetics and lures the audience into a safe, cozy situation. You know something has to happen, but the staging still reassures you. After this first situation, however, that was broken.
An escalation builds up, wonderfully played by Inde Navarrette. The madness that lies dormant in her is so well embodied that I wanted to cover my eyes in some situations. Not because it became brutal or bloody, but genuinely uncomfortable.
Only a few horror films manage to do that, as they often rely too heavily on cheap jump scares. The audience is rarely lulled into a sense of security in cinemas, and instead of ongoing tension, there is a feeling of fatigue. But that is not the only part of Obsession that makes the film so incredibly worth watching.
Obsession cleverly plays with the question of who is actually the villain in the film. As a viewer, you follow Bear, who experiences the worst things, but he is also to blame for the situation. This is thematized in the film through small sentences without ever being blatant. The focus is also on the ego and pride of the main character.
This makes the classic dumb decisions of a horror film protagonist not just a topic of excitement but a part of the story. It revolves around victim-perpetrator reversal, toxic masculinity, and who here is actually truly obsessive.
That’s exactly what makes horror films so good: when they address relatable themes and process them in a creepy torture. I also had to think of the legendary film The Shining (1980) by Stanley Kubrick. It’s about the breakdown of a family and the danger posed by the father, a person who should protect the family.
Obsession creates a similar rupture with its characters, but in the network of relationship between friendship, love, and loneliness. Despite the really intense (and well-staged) horror scenes, Obsession manages to approach with a certain tenderness. But of course, that also enhances the many horror elements.
Because one thing should be clear to you: Despite the interesting theme, Obsession is at times also bloody, disgusting, and above all, uncomfortable.
You don’t need a compulsively new idea to create a fresh experience
Obsession doesn’t have a groundbreaking idea on paper, but Curry Barker demonstrates with his 2nd feature film as a director that he harbors true horror talent. The film is well shot, has visually appealing ideas, and most importantly: watching it feels quite confident, as if Barker is a director who has been making films for decades.
It probably helped that he made countless short films (via IMDb). Obsession can set itself apart from the current horror landscape without being incredibly twisted or experimental. The film shows me that there is still much more to the genre, and I can still be startled much more than I thought.
I can only recommend you watch Obsession, especially if horror films have left you cold lately. The film starts in German cinemas on 14.05.2026, and I am already excited about what Curry Barker will do next. 5 more horror film tips can be found here: 5 horror films for 18 and over that are not for the faint of heart

On the weekend, MeinMMO author Johanna tried out the new shooter Pragmata, although it initially seemed boring to watch on Twitch. Playing it myself on Steam felt completely different.
On the weekend, I was once again searching for a game to fill my free time. The new shooter from Capcom, Pragmata, immediately came to mind. After all, it had just released on April 17, 2026.
However, before I wanted to fork out 60 euros for the game, I first watched some gameplay on Twitch. The first impression I got from several streamers was quite sobering. It just looks like a shooter, I thought. The only thing that would probably be engaging, in my opinion, would be the story, and to experience that, I would simply have to finish watching a Let’s Play rather than play it myself.
However, something moved me to try the sci-fi shooter after all. Don’t ask me what exactly, but my intuition or gut feeling was definitely right, because oh man! Otherwise, I would have missed out on something!

CAPCOM shows the new sci-fi action game Pragmata in the trailer
Let’s go with Hugh and Diana
So I quickly downloaded the game and took on the role of Hugh. He gets separated from his crew on the lunar base that is to be explored, and the station’s AI seems to have made it its mission to eliminate us.
This is essentially just a confirmation of Hugh’s negative opinion about AI and androids. But then we meet Diana, a Pragmata, which is an android that accompanies us on our adventure from then on.
The first encounter of Hugh and Diana is still a bit reserved.
Hugh’s initially rather dismissive opinion of androids quickly changes. The reason for this is not only Diana’s cute appearance and curious behavior but also her usefulness during fights.
Two controllable characters keep me on my toes
Where we get right to the main point for which I quickly fell in love with the game: The combat system.
With Hugh, the gameplay is relatively clear: Shoot until the enemies are nothing but a pile of scrap. However, we don’t deal enough damage to take down the robots in just a few shots.
This is where Diana comes into play. She sits on our back and hacks the enemies so that we can deal better damage to them. Both shooting with Hugh and hacking with Diana are done simultaneously. I play with a controller, which is why the shoulder buttons belong to Hugh, and the right buttons are used for Diana.
Diana takes on half of the battle from Hugh’s back.
And that’s the crux of Pragmata: Watching the gameplay seems boring because it doesn’t really differ from another sci-fi shooter like Dead Space. However, the simultaneous hacking requires my full concentration and gives me a gaming experience that I’ve never had before and could never feel while watching.
Fighting in this way is exhausting. The appearance of enemies stresses me, and defeating a wave of enemies is always met with a sigh from me.
Enemies still put me in a panic, so I’d rather run away for now. Especially when the beloved shotgun is out of ammo…
No wonder I’m also nervous about the first boss. Here I need a few more hacks and shots, and the boss is also a bit faster than the previous enemies.
The relief I feel when the boss is down is incomparable. I haven’t felt so fulfilled, relieved, and full of fun in a game in a long time!
And at the same time, I’m excited about what else the lunar base has in store and whether the feeling of tension will diminish at some point. But I don’t think so; I actually think that’s just right!
The fantasy anime Sword Art Online returns with a new anime. However, in the 110-minute movie, Kirito is not the shining hero but is suspected of being a player killer.
What kind of movie is this? Anyone who has anything to do with anime should know the premise of Sword Art Online. In the anime, the innovative virtual reality role-playing game Sword Art Online is introduced, played with a Nerve Gear.
It is a modern helmet that utilizes the brainwaves of users to transport all five senses into a virtual world, while the real body remains motionless in the real world. However, a villain exploits this to kill the players one by one.
The first 10,000 players can suddenly no longer log out. If they die in the virtual reality, the helmet delivers a fatal blow to their brain in real life.
In the movie Sword Art Online: Unanswered//butterfly, created specifically for the new video game, we now experience the story from the perspective of Emirun and Rex. Unlike the anime, the movie is rendered in 3D CGI and is part of the Ultimate Edition of the video game.
Normally, the series follows the experiences of Kirito and Asuna. The two try to survive this drama and grow closer romantically. However, the new anime film suddenly portrays the shining hero as a villain.

Sword Art Online: Unanswered//butterfly turns the hero Kirito into a player killer
Kirito goes from hero to player killer
What is going on with Kirito? In the trailers and the story of the movie, Kirito is indeed portrayed as a player killer. This refers to a player who has attacked or killed other individuals. This means that they have also died in real life.
That Kirito is capable of something like this shocks Asuna and the new characters. Therefore, Emirun and Rex go to Asuna for swordsmanship training and try to find out what really lies behind this player killer incident.
Whether Kirito is really capable of such a thing can only be determined with the release of the movie.
How can I watch the movie? The movie is part of the Ultimate Edition of Sword Art Online: Echoes of Aincrad and will be released simultaneously with the video game on July 10, 2026. No release for streaming services or theaters has been announced yet.
After Blizzard’s comparison with Turtle WoW, the developers of the server must cease their operations for WoW Classic. They have now officially announced the end.
When is the end of Turtle WoW? Turtle WoW will cease its services on May 15, 2026. This will affect both the private server, which has been around for 8 years, and the work on Turtle WoW. The latter was the developers’ own production, which aimed to bring WoW to Unreal Engine 5.

WoW Classic: The Hardcore Servers Are Here!
Blizzard compares itself with Turtle WoW
Why are operations being stopped?Blizzard and Turtle WoW have settled in their legal dispute. In this, Blizzard has achieved the shutdown of the private server, a ban on Turtle WoW 2.0 (the remaster based on Unreal Engine), and a ban on donations and successors.
The developers now also confirm this in their announcement in the forum, where they announce the end of their operations and implement the points required by Blizzard. The website, the forum, and social media will remain active until October 16.
With the shutdown, the way is also clear for Blizzard to create its own major Classic-Plus variant. This could be expected at Blizzcon in September and could be a major highlight for WoW. Why Classic-Plus is the next logical step for Blizzard is explained by MeinMMO expert Karsten Scholz here:
What does MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier think of the end of Turtle WoW? Honestly, I am not the huge WoW nerd like our house demon Cortyn or the walking encyclopedia Karsten Scholz. But I recognize genuine ambition and immense talent when I see it. And that is exactly what the developers of Turtle WoW demonstrate.
The fact that Blizzard has now swung the legal wrecking ball and even prohibits direct “successors” is bitter at first glance. But let’s look at the facts: The developers have turned a simple private server into an unofficial WoW 2.0, which was funded so massively by fans that a whole team could make a living from it. Anyone who builds an unofficial WoW 2.0 with Blizzard’s lawyers breathing down their neck has the potential for much more.
Sure, many hardcore WoW fans will now be begrudgingly waiting for Blizzard’s official Classic-Plus. But honestly: If anyone can skyrocket a Kickstarter funding for a completely new MMORPG right now, it’s this team. They have a loyal fanbase, a functioning team, and the ultimate vote of confidence from a player base that is also not exactly happy with Blizzard’s measures.
For this reason, I say: Let’s go, Turtle WoW! See this end as a liberation and build the MMORPG that finally replaces Blizzard’s old relic! Leave Blizzard’s IP alone, forget the constant fear of lawyers, and create us a completely new, really good MMORPG. I would be the first supporter.
PayDay 3 had a huge crash at the start and was severely punished by the fans. MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier returns to the shooter in 2026 and clarifies the question: Can you still have fun with it from a fun perspective?
I am a PayDay veteran. Right from the start of PayDay The Heist in 2011, the concept of semi-seriously robbing a bank with my friends was exactly my thing. Even today, I can recite some mission announcements and keep returning to the old-school shooter.
I pre-ordered PayDay 2 and completed pretty much every mission there between one and a dozen times on both loud and quiet. For me and my friends, PayDay was our “main game” for years, which we always came back to when there was nothing else available.
12 years after it all started with PayDay The Heist, we had to take a look at the sequel as well – and we were disappointed. Poor performance, overloaded servers, online-only requirement, a weird armor system, and downgraded missions were exactly the opposite of what we had hoped for.
Like many others, we quickly switched back to PayDay 2. But in 2026, more than two years after the release, we gave the sequel PayDay 3 another chance.
Here you can watch a trailer for PayDay 3:
Select a MMO video…
No Hype, No Hate, Just PayDay 3
Especially when everything goes haywire at release, new features are no fun at all, and the mood in Discord is already down after a few rounds due to poor performance, people quickly say: The game is bad.
Upon our return in 2026, it was exactly the opposite: We returned without expectations, without a particular update in mind and without knowing what had really changed. Our goal was simply to have fun and pull off a heist or two like in the old times.
And that went surprisingly well. The developers made a conscious choice for a different rhythm in PayDay 3 than before. Instead of stretching some missions over several days and varying between stealth and loud jobs, everything in PayDay 3 happens in one go.
First, you enter the bank as a civilian without a mask, are allowed to explore the location unnoticed, and can also manipulate some roller shutters and ventilation shafts. If you get caught, you’ll get booted out, but the mission is far from failed.
This is how missions typically start quietly and then – because one of my talented friends was inattentive again – quickly become loud. But there’s something to be happy about, because every progress made on the “quiet path” helps even if you ultimately have to brute-force your way through. Although many missions can also be completed completely quietly or very loudly, we usually tried to find a middle ground.
Zipline against Bus
Even though I like this new rhythm, I still miss the divided sections from the predecessor a lot. Stretching heists over different days gave PayDay 2 a brilliant rogue-like character: You could lose everything.
If you first robbed a gallery and didn’t do it quietly, you had to get the loot to safety or sell it under fire. But if you played it smart, the stolen paintings in mission 3 were equipped with cameras that gave us a massive advantage. That was just genius.
The same goes for properly planning missions: Which exit? Which drill? Hacker or sniper for support? In PayDay 3, unfortunately, these preparations feel like a stripped-down approach that was just inserted so that it’s not completely missing. But to be honest: A zipline placed on the roof does not replace the epic feeling from part 2 of crashing a damn bus through a wall to blow up a new escape route.
In stealth, there are traps like lasers that you have to dodge, and the new enemies in loud mode push you out of cover much more frequently. PayDay 3 is clearly superior to its predecessor in these aspects.
Gather 4 friends, PayDay 3 with all DLCs, a free evening, and your drink of choice – and you will have fun. However, the less of these parameters are fulfilled, the more evident the weaknesses become. If you have to choose from the few standard levels included with the purchase as a small group, the fun of playing quickly comes to an end, especially when compared to the seemingly endless missions from part 2.
PayDay 3 is better in 2026 than many fans want to admit, but it is consciously different. If you want to go on a heist with friends that is a bit more challenging and can do without the old “goof” factor, you will be very happy with this title.
For those for whom PayDay 3 should only differ from its predecessor through graphical innovations and a few new levels, part 3 will likely continue to be nothing.
Moreover, there is a clear weak point in PayDay 3 when it comes to the number of missions. PayDay 2 had a very strong lineup. In PayDay 3, the selection is significantly reduced, largely due to the increased complexity of the levels. That’s a shame.
In the new solo mode, you can choose one of many missions. Most can be completed both loudly and quietly.
PayDay like from Fantasy
What I noticed positively while playing is the improved engine. Although PayDay 3 still looks like PayDay, the technology behind it is no longer so outdated. New obstacles like lasers, special drones, or blocking paths with law enforcement feel really refreshing.
What has also improved significantly is the system around health and armor. Just a reminder: In PayDay 3, there are armors and health points. If an armor is broken, you need a new plate, while health points can only be restored with a medkit.
If you forgo armor, you become more agile and can sneak better. This is now well implemented, as there are always small medkits in all levels, like the ones you would find in public places. You can heal yourself there, which makes the game more manageable even with little armor.
When Overkill Weapons and AI Annoy
However, not everything that glitters is gold. PayDay 3 actually wanted to satisfy the desire for defeating overpowered enemies with “Overkill Weapons.” Each player gets the ability to have a pre-selected OP weapon like an anti-material sniper delivered by a transport drone.
Personally, this happened to me far too often. By the end of each loud mission, several packages were left unused – simply because it didn’t feel particularly rewarding to mow down dozens of cops.
Things get really bitter with the AI, especially when you play PayDay 3 only with two players. In loud missions, the AI tends to run into the main street with the most valuable loot, gets taken out, only to then sacrifice the other AI buddy while reviving them. There were already mods for PayDay 2 that solved this better.
In silent mode, the bots still have no function.
Too Little Goof
Another very important point: PayDay 2 is goofy. This is not a GenZ TikTok word but simply describes the way the game was played due to its limitations.
Be it launching guards in the right direction with a shotgun, bunny-hopping on the floor, or getting frustrated for the umpteenth time because you were discovered due to a poor connection to the host.
The developers have significantly improved this in part 3 and removed exactly this goofiness. Objectively that’s good, but it also means that you don’t feel as “at home” in PayDay 3 as you did in PayDay 2 or The Heist.
PayDay 2 never wanted to be funny, but it was. PayDay 3 is not funny, but in some places tries hard to be – this comparison is often echoed in the community and is absolutely justified.
New and Old Missions
Personally, I think: PayDay 2 is PayDay 2 and PayDay 3 is PayDay 3! Accordingly, I am also not a fan of putting myself in PayDay 3 instead of the cooks in the drug lab for the 100th time in my life. Even if missions like “Cook Off” are extremely popular among fans, I simply see no justification for reheated levels in the still relatively young lifespan of PayDay 3.
However, the new missions are really good, some of which are only available via DLC. The new heists are extremely versatile and no longer feel as linear as the levels from the predecessor. Instead of just following gang A, B, or C, you go into the basement of a building, then up to the roof, you can climb along the facade and discover shortcuts along the way.
In stealth, there are traps like lasers that you have to dodge, and the new enemies in loud mode push you out of cover much more frequently. PayDay 3 is clearly superior to its predecessor in these aspects.
Gather 4 friends, PayDay 3 with all DLCs, a free evening, and your drink of choice – and you will have fun. However, the less of these parameters are fulfilled, the more evident the weaknesses become. If you have to choose from the few standard levels included with the purchase as a small group, the fun of playing quickly comes to an end, especially when compared to the seemingly endless missions from part 2.
PayDay 3 is better in 2026 than many fans want to admit, but it is consciously different. If you want to go on a heist with friends that is a bit more challenging and can do without the old “goof” factor, you will be very happy with this title.
For those for whom PayDay 3 should only differ from its predecessor through graphical innovations and a few new levels, part 3 will likely continue to be nothing.

He is comparable to the creation gods of great religions, at least in that everything that exists was created by him. He made his first appearance in the comic “Fantastic Four #511” in 2004.
The One Above All first created himself, then the being Oblivion, which represents emptiness, and later the universe itself.
The God used love as the most powerful weapon. He is a being full of compassion, empathy, and goodwill, and mostly resided in the House of Ideas, a kind of heaven.

Evil Comes into the World
How did the creation of the universe unfold? Demiurge, a consciousness that created the Elder Gods, was indirectly created in this process. They served the One Above All and were his servants. However, conflict arose when Vinruviel, a being that had created itself, appeared.
The Elder Gods fell under Vinruviel’s influence and began to fight each other. The One Above All had to intervene and end the dispute. To do this, he created the God Atum, who defeated the corrupted Elder Gods.
However, Vinruviel was not one to give up easily. The being caused the birth of terrible creatures, which angered the One Above All. He split the entire Earth, making himself vulnerable. Vinruviel took the opportunity and poisoned him with corruption.
The life that bloomed everywhere was countered by the One Below All; death and ultimately evil itself can thus be attributed to the supreme of all gods. This is particularly remarkable because the One Above All was actually known for his benevolent nature.
Was the God invincible? Pretty much. Even some of the most powerful beings like the Living Tribunal served him and were his servants.
However, it was Thanos who once managed to force the One Above All to his knees. When a future version of himself took control of his present self, he absorbed cosmic beings thanks to the Astral Regulator.
Even the One Above All fell victim to this. In this way, Thanos’s future self became the supreme God. However, this did not last long: the current Thanos managed, with the help of Adam Warlock, Kang, Starfox, and Pip the Troll, to regain control. He performed a reset and restored the old order.
Fun Fact: In some places, the One Above All is shown in the form of comic artist Jack Kirby. He is considered a legend at Marvel and was involved in the creation of the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man and many others. Appropriately, he has a pencil that can change reality.
In Pokémon GO, Dynamax-Regirock is waiting for you. To ensure victory against the boss, MeinMMO has compiled the best counters against the monster.
What kind of monster is this? Regirock is a legendary monster that has existed since Generation 3. It is a Rock type and is part of the so-called Legendary Giants.
On Monday, April 20, 2026, you can find and challenge the boss for the first time in its Dynamax form in the game. To do this, you will need not only 800 Dyna particles but also a Remote Raid Pass if you want to start the fight from a distance, as well as strong counters. We have taken a closer look at these and will introduce them to you.

How to successfully defeat Dynamax-Regirock
Which attackers are suitable? As Regirock is a Rock type, attacks of the Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water types are very effective against the boss. Ideally, you should bring attackers that cover these types.
Especially the following attackers are suitable for this:
Gigantamax Intelleon with Water Gun
Zacian (Crowned Sword) with Metal Claw and Behemoth Blade
Gigantamax Kingler with Mud Shot
Gigantamax Rillaboom with Scratch
Gigantamax Machamp with Karate Chop
Your attackers should only enter the fight when the Dynameter is fully charged. Then they should perform their strong Dyna attacks. Afterwards, you switch them out again and use your defenders to recharge the Dynameter.
Which defenders should be used? To absorb the attacks from Dynamax Regirock and fill your Dynameter, you can use the following monsters:
Dynamax Latias with Dragon Breath
Dynamax Latios with Dragon Breath
Dynamax Regice with Lock-On
Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) with Metal Claw
Dynamax Gallade with Low Kick or Psycho Cut
When choosing a defender, ensure that you ideally have a type advantage so that Regirock cannot hit you very effectively, and that the monster has good defensive and HP values. Additionally, it is important to rely on a quick attack that has a duration of 0.5 seconds. Furthermore, you should avoid using charged attacks.
This way you fill your Dyna meter the fastest and can switch in your attackers as often as possible to deal damage.
You also need some luck regarding the selection of Regirock’s charged attacks. The boss has 2 charged attacks that come from the following attack pool:
Stone Edge (Rock)
Focus Blast (Fighting)
Zap Cannon (Electric)
Earthquake (Ground)
Which healers are suitable? Basically, any monster can be used as a healer or for shields. It is important that you level up the corresponding Dyna abilities to their maximum level to ensure they have the maximum effect.
Typical healers are those that have a lot of hit points and high defense values. This includes the following monsters:
How should the battle proceed? Before starting the battle, you should discuss with your group who will take which role and shape your team accordingly. Remember that a maximum of 4 trainers can start in a group for the battle. Also, ensure a balanced group and do not start with 4 attackers against the boss.
Fill your Dynameter during the battle and then switch to monsters depending on your role. Once you have performed your attacks or abilities, switch back.
If you have problems during the battle, you can utilize the adventure effects of Zamazenta and Zacian to increase the attack or defense of your monsters in the Dyna fight. You can also use the item Dyna Mushroom, which you can only normally obtain for PokéCoins, to boost your attack.
How difficult will the fight be? If you have already fought Dynamax Regice, you can gauge the difficulty by this monster. Both monsters have the same stats and only differ in their types as well as their weaknesses, resistances, and attacks.
In addition to the debut of Dynamax Regirock, April brings several more contents in the last days, such as events, raids, and other Dynamax monsters. If you want to know which ones, feel free to check out our overview with all events in April 2026 in Pokémon GO.

In Crimson Desert there are special weapons that require special and above all valuable materials: the Aeserion weapons. We will explain how to craft them and what makes them different from other weapons.
What are Aeserion Weapons? If you have been playing Crimson Desert for a while, you will have encountered at least the valuable Aeserion Scales with which you can upgrade your weapons to the final tier. There are also legendary weapons that are associated with the entity.
What Aeserion Weapons are there? In total, there are 10 Aeserion weapons that you can craft:
Aeserion Bow
Aeserion Dagger
Aeserion Flail
Aeserion Sword
Aeserion Great Axe
Aeserion Halberd
Aeserion Longsword
Aeserion Spear
Aeserion Warhammer
Whether and which weapons are worth it for you and how you can obtain them, you will learn here in the guide.

Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert
Aeserion Weapons: Differences from Other Weapons and What They Are Good For
What primarily distinguishes Aeserion weapons is their appearance. They all – except for the bow and sword – come with increased critical hit chances, which, for the most part, do not stand out from other legendary weapons. You will also find similar bonuses with other, better weapons, so there are few reasons, aside from their appearance, to pursue them specifically.
You can view the exact values in the database, how they look in their basic form and at the final upgrade level.
Only the dagger provides gameplay advantages for which it is worth pursuing the Aeserion weapon, should you not only care about the appearance. For when you have it equipped, you not only have a significantly increased critical hit chance but also an additional 10% chance to receive extra resources when skinning prey.
So if you hunt a lot or want to farm pelts and the like specifically, it is worthwhile to craft the dagger at least in its basic form.
Find Blueprints for Aeserion Weapons – Here’s Where You Need to Go
If you want to tackle the Aeserion weapons, you first need to find the plans for them. You will need the ability “Fist of Strength: Focus,” as you cannot access the chest otherwise. You must have completed at least Chapter 4, as that is where you obtain the ability.
Then head to a small island in the south of Hernand:
Here you will find the cave with the blueprints at the X.
Once there, head east and look for a cave near the cliffs that is blocked by colorful stones, next to which you will see a stone figure with a dragon. Beware: If you have not yet completed the two boss fights there, either do them or leave them aside and glide to the cliff with the cave.
This is what the entrance looks like.
Use the ability “Fist of Strength: Focus” to clear the stones out of the way. Loot the chest in the cave behind it and secure the book with the blueprints.
Read each page individually.
Beware: You must examine each page individually here in order to learn all the recipes. Once you have done that, you can view and craft the Aeserion weapons at any blacksmith of your choice.
How do you find the weapons and do you want to secure them? Is appearance important to you, or do you focus on values in Crimson Desert, even aside from Abyss equipment? By the way, how to obtain the scales for the weapons and the final refinement step is explained here: Crimson Desert: Finding Aeserion Scales

In Crimson Desert, there are quite a few rather annoying missions. Whether it’s transporting a whining bounty target, fighting a way too strong boss, or going for a ride with Yann. However, a player has now found an even more annoying quest.
What kind of quest is it? In Crimson Desert, Abyss Dice are scattered all over the world. They provide you with challenges that you can complete to turn these dice into skill points.
One of these challenges is particularly exhausting. For the challenge “Harmonious Hooves IV,” you must ride from Sunset Valley to Varnia. Sunset Valley is the name of the village in the far southwest of Pywel, while Varnia is located in the far northeast. The locations are therefore at the maximum distance apart.
For the challenge, the ride must be completed within 40 minutes, but it gets even more annoying.
For the ride, you should take Rokade with you:
Start video
Here you will find the legendary horse “Rokade” in Crimson Desert
One mistake and you have to do it again
What other rules are there? Because riding through all of Crimson Desert for 40 minutes is not time-consuming enough, there is another rule that makes the challenge even harder. You are not allowed to dismount at any time during the entire ride.
If you do, for example because an enemy attacks you and knocks you down, you have to ride the whole way back from the beginning – even if you are already in Crimson Desert.
What does the reward look like? As a reward for the challenge, the developers give you one skill point and one skill reset point. Not a big reward, considering that you have to ride for about 40 minutes at full sprint without making mistakes through all of Pywel for it.
How does the community react to the challenge? Some players have already completed the challenge and share their experiences on Reddit. There they write:
ThatGuyNamedKal: “I managed it in about 30 minutes. I needed 2 attempts because I was shot off my horse halfway through my first attempt […]”
That_Guest_8772: “Instead, fight for 40 min. against mobs for 2x artifacts”
Right_Carpenter_4622: “I just had to bring a bounty back over 2400 meters, and he kept rambling about honey and asking about his mother the whole time.”
Xiromat: “I did this yesterday. If you have one of the legendary horses with a high bonding level, you can easily get there in 20 min. A standard horse will probably be a bit slower, but you definitely don’t need the full 40 min.”
So if you have a good mount, you will save some life time, in case you even want to complete the quest for the minimal reward. If you don’t have a good horse yet, you should secure Rokade right away.

Finally, last night there was the first announcement trailer for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3. The last part was ten years ago, which is why MeinMMO editor Jasmin is particularly excited for this game.
In fact, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is one of the few anime games that I played in my childhood. I never played the Budokai games, as I was already well served with Super Smash Bros. and Naruto beat-’em-up games.
Besides Dragon Ball Origins, which was released for the Nintendo DS back then, I also loved Dragon Ball Xenoverse. I just found it great that these games have MMO elements. You can create your own character and play a new story related to the anime – without having to experience the same story repeatedly in battles.
On the other hand, there’s the loot and grind. To get the best abilities or coolest outfits, certain missions need to be completed multiple times. I also liked the leveling system, and the option to play together with friends should not be overlooked.
The first two parts were released closely together in 2015 and 2016. It took ten years until the third part was finally announced. And just the four minutes from the announcement trailer have already convinced me that this will probably be the best anime game of all time. Convince me otherwise.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 shows the big city feeling in the first trailer
Dragon Ball meets GTA
The new trailer for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 features many scenes in a vibrant city. Players are taken this time not to a single small hub, but to a metropolis called West City. In this city, an original storyline unfolds involving original characters. The main character joins the Great Saiyan Squad, where you fight in events with allies.
The trailer already feels a bit like GTA, as there are many activities shown: Characters are driving around in cars, there is a streamer promoting herself widely, and everywhere there are restaurants and shops advertising with neon signs.
Right at the beginning of the trailer, you can see many such scenes, which is why the game convinced me in under a minute.
In the previous Xenoverse parts, I felt like something was missing in terms of the city vibe. It felt more like the outskirts of a city. But just in the new trailer, everything seems so lively. I hope that this feeling from the video can also be implemented in the actual game. Because then it would be the best anime game I have ever experienced.
The game is set to be released sometime in 2027 for PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
In this list, we outline various ways to acquire gold in Dungeons & Dragons. Depending on your adventurer’s moral compass, there is a wide range of options to become particularly wealthy.
Players in Dungeons & Dragons have different reasons for embarking on their adventures. For some, it is honor, for others a very personal motivation. And yet, there are those who, even in a fantasy tabletop role-playing game, want nothing more than a dishonorable giant pile of gold.
Whether you simply want to become as rich as possible or are just desperate little amateur mercenaries who have already spent your last dime on poor equipment: In this list, we present a few ways that can provide you with necessary capital up to serious wealth.

Undertake the Right Adventure
In Dungeons & Dragons, a campaign often follows a main adventure along with various quests, personal tasks, and challenges of different difficulty levels and rewards. Depending on what type of campaign you and your Dungeon Master agreed upon in your session zero, this adventure can reward you accordingly.
If you are the type of player who, before special loot or important information, mainly aims for gold, then this should be communicated in a session zero. This way, you not only get the regular dopamine boost from gold, but your Dungeon Master also knows what kind of reward they can use to motivate you in different directions.
If you want to experience as much wealth as possible in your campaign to afford particularly strong equipment, weapons, or magical items, that is a valid wish. Just communicate it early enough with your game masters and you will get plenty of opportunities to fill your pockets with gold.
Accordingly, here’s another tip: Venture off the path of your main target. Even in smaller places, there are NPCs who need your help and are willing to pay you more or less generously for it.
On the next pages, we will mention additional ways to acquire gold!

Zombies are very popular in pop culture, so it is no surprise that Star Wars has its own virus. It transformed stormtroopers into the undead, bringing terror to the galaxy.
Project Blackwing is a dark chapter in the history of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars. It is a research project that worked to achieve immortality and took place between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth.
However, it went wonderfully wrong, and the scientists of the Sith Academy had to watch as lifeless bodies suddenly came to life. A virus was out of control, transforming all those infected into zombie-like undead.
Those affected were primarily the otherwise rather useless stormtroopers working at the research facility on the planet Dandoran. Different types of stormtroopers produced different strengths of undead; together they formed a dangerous army that grew rapidly.
Even the Emperor found it too much. He ordered the virus and the undead to be fought, just as the rebels did. They managed to seemingly resolve the issue. Unfortunately, a second outbreak occurred, but that was also successfully dealt with.
Project Blackwing and its consequences were introduced into canon thanks to the game Star Wars: Commander from 2014. Outside of that, the novel “Death Troopers” first told of the virus in 2009. In this story, the history of the undead goes much further back and unfolded somewhat differently.
Start video
Star Wars Episode IV – Trailer for the download version
Over 4600 years earlier, the virus raged once before
What does Legends say? The origin also lies here in a failed experiment. 4645 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Sith Lord Darth Drear also attempted to achieve immortality.
He developed an elixir that actually extended his life. The side effect: he became infected and died despite some efforts to stop the decay. However, the Sith Lord’s records documented his findings, and over time the Sith repeatedly researched it.
In Legends, it was none other than Darth Vader who discovered the story of the virus thousands of years later. He wanted to reproduce it to create a biological weapon. With it, opponents could be easily eliminated and chaos could be spread across the galaxy.
If research could also uncover the secret to eternal life, that would have been a pleasant side effect for a Sith like Vader. After all, the death of his beloved Padmé had deeply affected him.
Thus, in this version of the story, Project Blackwing was also born. On the Star Destroyer Vector, scientists were researching it when the virus broke out on board. Almost everyone on the Star Destroyer died and returned as undead. Although an attempt was made to study the virus at another research station on Dathomir, it broke out again and spread.
Will we see the virus in a movie or series? The topic is essentially perfect for a real horror movie in the Star Wars universe. However, the story of the virus in canon is just a footnote.
Since Disney largely ignores Legends and wants to appeal to a broad audience, it is currently unlikely that Project Blackwing will be realized as its own movie or series. Would you be interested in that? Feel free to let us know in the comments. The undead are far from the only danger in the galaxy: 5 dangerous creatures from Star Wars that would make even Darth Vader suit up

When it comes to winning, MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes likes to use cowardly or devious tactics in the games of Pokémon. His fiancée felt this during their first date.
In doing so, I also resort to sneaky strategies – after all, I want to be the very best. My fiancée also experienced this during our first date.

An Annoying Attack and a Lot of Luck
How did the battle go on the first date? Since we had already talked about Pokémon (and the best Korean movies), we decided to play some Pokémon against each other on our first date. We decided to use Sun and Moon on the 3DS.
While she put thought into her moveset beforehand, I took it a bit more relaxed and just chose the Pokémon I had on hand. I particularly remember the last starter evolution Primarina.
The battle began and she used Stealth Rocks – on a date. I took it personally and even though I actually had the worse cards, I just had to win. So I resorted to the tactics of a coward and the annoying move: Sing from Primarina.
The move is quite simple; it puts the opposing Pokémon to sleep. So my tactic was pretty straightforward: her Pokémon fell asleep and I attacked. But I needed a lot of luck because Sing only has an accuracy of 55%.
Moreover, the sleep factor only lasts 1 to 3 turns since the 5th generation. So I usually had to endure a hit because Primarina’s speed stat is not particularly high (base stat only 60). On the other hand, Primarina has a good special defense and special attack, which helped me a lot. It was also lucky that my date didn’t have any Pokémon that were effective against Primarina (Water/Fairy).
Somehow, I managed to win this duel with my cowardly tactics. Of course, I didn’t just take the victory silently – just imagine the victory dance of Crash Bandicoot at this point. Although I was quite a fool back then, we will soon get married. So the duel didn’t harm me, except that my fiancée still accuses me of the singing to this day – but what wouldn’t you do for a victory.
The duel in Sun and Moon was just the beginning of a competitive streak in my relationship. In games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Street Fighter, we also enjoyed virtually fighting against each other, and I don’t even want to start mentioning board games, because in those we both often forget that we are actually together. MeinMMO editor Karsten even met his wife thanks to an MMO: “My wife won me in a giveaway for Guild Wars 2” – as a consolation prize, so to speak

World of Warcraft is confusing. One of the Rocket Beans shows how confusing a single class can be at its core.
For some, World of Warcraft has become way too easy, for others way too complex to even get started. The truth seems to lie somewhere in the middle. Newcomers struggle with the complexity, while veterans use systems that have grown over 20 years and that they know by heart. A streamer illustrated the underlying problem with a quick drawing.

WoW Cinematic shows the journey of the Paladin Arator – Son of two worlds shows
Who is that? Florentin Will is part of the Rocket Beans and also known from other formats. For example, he has appeared on the Neo Magazin Royale or worked for Funk on the YouTube channel “Gute Arbeit Originals”. What is widely known about him is that he is quite a Warcraft fan and has been playing WoW for many years, always checking in at the start of a new expansion. He is known for such lovely quotes as:
We don’t play World of Warcraft to celebrate achievements, but to avoid some unpleasant social occasions.
And every WoW fan would probably say: That’s somewhat true. Sometimes even more.
The priority system in WoW is extremely complex
What does Florentin describe? In a stream a few days ago, he took a look at the new expansion Midnight and dealt with the Mistweaver Monk – a healer that he has played for years and with whom he wanted to revisit dungeons.
To accommodate all viewers, he explained the progression of the ability system in World of Warcraft and how it has changed over time.
The Early Days: At the beginning, there was basically only one ability per class that had to be repeated in combat, like Frostbolt for mages. It got monotonous.
Rotation: Later on, there were rotations. Fixed sequences of 2 or more abilities with different cooldowns that could be somewhat worked through in a fixed order.
Priority System: Currently (and for quite a while) there is the priority system, where you use abilities not just based on cooldowns, but based on complex interactions, temporary buffs, and intertwined effects.
What is part of everyday life for long-time WoW fans and often seen as “not that complex” appears completely overloaded and confusing to newcomers. Florentin impressively demonstrates this by explaining the various systems with a quick Paint drawing – anyone who doesn’t lose track while doing so has been playing WoW for at least 10 years. You can see the corresponding passage starting at 06:46 and for the following 6 minutes:

Cortyn says: Even though Florentin Will’s presentation is somewhat abstract, it describes quite well, at its core, how complex and intertwined the various abilities of World of Warcraft are. Newcomers may quickly lose track and wonder if the intensive study of a class is even worth the effort.
Exactly these considerations may also have led to the introduction of the “1-Button-Assistant”, where you don’t have to think so much about these complex interactions and can just focus on the rest of the game – that is, positioning in combat or boss mechanics. However, the feature is only partially suitable for healers and tanks, so especially these roles cannot avoid digging deep into the details or relying on guides.
What do you think of the ability system in World of Warcraft? Do you wish for a simpler time, like in “Vanilla”, where you often only used one or two abilities? Did you like the system with fixed rotations? Or is the complexity of the current system just right for you? In some places WoW also becomes significantly easier. For example, tanks now get help when they want to start with Mythic+.

One of the voices from the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has finally played the RPG after having false assumptions about it.
Who feels like a fraud and why? The voice of Gustave from Expedition 33 is the actor Charlie Cox. Many of you might know him from the Marvel series Daredevil.
Especially since he isn’t a gamer and hasn’t played the game at all. This also led him to think for a long time that he voiced the final boss in Clair Obscur. What kept him from gaming was mainly that he doesn’t own a console.
But now, Charlie Cox finally dared to approach the game not only as a voice actor but also as a gamer, at least a little bit.

Charlie Cox is not really good at Clair Obscur
In an interview with GamesRader+, Charlie Cox talked about his recent experience with Clair Obscur. He has played a little, walked around the initial sections, and found that he is not really good at it.
Perhaps that’s partly because his last gaming experiences were almost 30 years ago. The actor lists FIFA 98 and Goldeneye 007 in the interview among others. Those are clearly very different types of video games from what Clair Obscur is. Charlie Cox himself describes the game as a movie in which you participate.
Regarding the fact that Charlie Cox essentially plays himself in the RPG, he said: “It didn’t really feel like me… I didn’t really see it as myself, but as Gustave.”
