The Joker’s bank robbery in The Dark Knight has a big mistake that every criminal should recognize

Niko Hernes 7. December 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The Dark Knight is one of the best superhero movies of all time, and that is largely due to the portrayal of the Joker. The film starts with a spectacular sequence in which the Joker carries out a bank robbery. However, a YouTuber is sure: that was quite unlikely.

What happens at the beginning of The Dark Knight? At the beginning of the film, we see a group of criminals wearing clown masks attempting a spectacular bank robbery. The twist at the end reveals that the Joker has tricked everyone and made off with the money.

Everything seems ingeniously planned. The members of the gang eliminate each other, the bus arrives on time, and the Joker escapes without being caught. However, a YouTuber explains in a video that the plan isn’t all that brilliant and that it’s quite likely such a plan would fail.

Another film shows a significantly better heist

What does a good heist look like? The YouTuber Despot of Antrim explains in his YouTube video The Joker’s Bank Heist Plan is Terrible that it is highly unlikely that the Joker’s plan would have worked. He starts the video by showing a good bank robbery from the film The Place Beyond the Pines.

There, he explains what is probably the most important aspect of a bank robbery: the probabilities. In the scene from The Place Beyond the Pines, you see many factors that ensure the security of the plan:

Small bank
Reliable route
Quick actions with few variables
Control

You can see how Ryan Gosling’s character takes control, grabs the bank employee, snatches the money, and escapes on his motorcycle. His partner waits with a van, into which Gosling rides on the motorcycle and then leisurely flees.

The most important thing about this robbery is that nothing can go wrong. There are no actions that require perfect timing. The most dangerous factor in the video is Gosling’s motorcycle ride, as he could easily fall or crash there.

The Joker’s plan has many risky points, one is even quite serious

What makes the Joker’s bank robbery so risky? The Joker’s bank robbery has many contingencies. Among other things, the bus cannot crash into the wall either too early or too late. However, the biggest factor that shouldn’t work is the composition of the crew and the mutual eliminations.

The YouTuber posits that no criminal would take the job if they know they have to eliminate someone from the crew, as one would assume they would be eliminated themselves. One member of the crew even mentions this himself at the end of the robbery, but one might ask why he came along in the first place.

Sure, one could argue that the desire for money was greater than the concern for one’s own safety. Seasoned criminals, like those at the beginning of the film, likely would not have taken that risk.

By tasking team members with eliminating each other, the overall trust in the operation would likely decrease. That would also be a factor to consider. The number of members is also a significant risk. Unlike in The Place Beyond The Pines, with too many partners, it is more likely that someone might slip up.

An expert also criticizes the bank robbery. In a YouTube video, the channel Insider had a former thief rate various film scenes based on how authentic the scenes shown are. He also praises the film The Place Beyond the Pines and gives it a 9 out of 10.

However, for the bank robbery in The Dark Knight, he gives a 1 out of 10. This is mainly due to unrealistic aspects, such as the school bus that suffers no damage despite crashing through a massive wall. Of course, these are all aspects that do not diminish the enjoyment of watching. And even if his bank robbery isn’t fully brilliant, Heath Ledger remains the most legendary Joker of all time. This is also due to his trademark: The Joker licking his lips in The Dark Knight has nothing to do with his past – it’s due to his costume

Overwatch 2 finally brings a feature that fans have been waiting for since the first game

Cortyn 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

For a long time, Overwatch fans have been waiting for this; now, a feature is finally coming that will provide better clarity – and is standard in other games.

Overwatch 2 has a wild and tumultuous history. Alongside several scandals surrounding the discarded PvE mode, questionable monetization, and the possibly impending return to “6vs6,” there is continual criticism and requests for change. However, Blizzard has now “sneaked in” a new feature that will hopefully soon become standard.

In Overwatch 2, there was “Overwatch Classic” a few weeks ago:

Autoplay

What kind of feature is this? We’re talking about a new, optional element in the interface. So far, you could only see your own health points at the bottom left corner of the screen, but that could soon change. In the latest version of “Quick Play: Hacked,” you have the option to additionally display the health bars and status of all team members. This way, you can always see how your team’s health is doing and how long it will take for a teammate to respawn.

Where does the feature come from? Originally, this small interface upgrade was developed for the PvE mode; however, it was only used in the few published missions before the game mode was completely removed, leading to the biggest outcry from the Overwatch community ever.

Even though the PvE missions were unpopular and far behind Blizzard’s expectations, the representation of the team status was extremely popular. It was otherwise impossible to check the HP or status of team members. This could only be done by frantically sweeping the camera around to see where each allied character is – which usually means there is little time for that.

This is how the community reacts: The feature is actively discussed in the Overwatch 2 subreddit and receives a lot of support. The biggest current post on this has an impressive 96% approval rating – a resounding majority that wishes for the feature to be permanent.

Currently, everything also indicates that this was just a test run by Blizzard to see how the feature works and if it is well-received by the community. At least this test seems to have been quite successful: If you are more interested in shooters – we have presented the 10 best of the year 2024 here.

I wanted an evening distraction, then 100 hours were gone

Cortyn 7. December 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

MyMMO demon Cortyn just wanted to kill a few hours – suddenly two weeks were gone and filled with lots of fun.

Sometimes it just doesn’t go well in the current “main game.” The raid in World of Warcraft didn’t go satisfactorily, the role-playing appointment was spontaneously canceled, or in the favorite MOBA, one is facing defeat after defeat.

I had just such a day when I thought: Cortyn, you need something new. Look what Steam suggests to you and just risk it.

I did that to distract myself for a few hours one evening. That was at least my original plan. But after two weeks, I have sunk over 100 hours into this game and must say: I regret nothing. It was pure fun.

We are talking about Hades. The game originally came out in 2020, so it’s already a few years old. I was repeatedly suggested this game on Steam, but somehow, I couldn’t bring myself to it. Something I now regret – because I would have liked to play this masterpiece earlier.

Start video

Hades Trailer

Autoplay

What is Hades? Those who (like me) have lived behind the moon for a long time and have not looked properly at Hades get a little summary here: In Hades, you play as Zagreus, the son of the Greek god Hades. Zagreus wants to escape from the underworld to meet the Olympian gods while fulfilling some personal goals.

But escaping from the underworld is not that easy. There are several levels and plenty of Hades’ henchmen ensuring that no soul ever escapes the underworld.

With every conquered level, you become stronger and receive blessings from the Olympian gods. For instance, Zeus can make your attacks also cast lightning bolts, Aphrodite makes your enemies lovesick and dazed, or Athena ensures that when you dodge, you can even reflect projectiles and fling them back with increased damage.

Finding the “perfect” combination here is the great appeal of the game.

As in most rogue-like games, failure and dying are an integral part of the player experience. Every once in a while, your ascent is abruptly interrupted, and you start over. However, some of the resources can be secured each time, allowing you to start a little stronger, have more options, or even wield a new weapon next time.

A spiral with no escape

This loop is incredibly addictive. For a good half-hour, you hack and fight your way through the underworld, then spend about 10 minutes talking, buying upgrades, or uncovering small secrets. And every time you think to yourself: “Oh, just one more run. Then that’s really enough for tonight.”

And before you know it, you find yourself wondering why the sun is just rising and your colleagues from the editorial office mention appreciatively how you’ve actually come to work quite early today. *Cough.*

Meanwhile, I find that most trailers or gameplay videos actually do more harm to the game. Because when you watch the trailers, Hades looks incredibly frantic. Colorful colors are flying everywhere, dozens of enemies are hopping over the screen at the same time, and everything just seems chaotic.

But that’s not the case. This apparent chaos is largely controlled. As a player, you have a massive influence on how everything behaves in the game. After playing two or three rounds, the behavior of all enemies is absolutely logical and (in most cases) predictable. While it still looks colorful on the screen, you are riding more of a wave of cool abilities rather than fighting against a stream of enemies and losing track.

Those who think, “This is all too wild for me. It’s too frantic. I’m too old for this.” should just take the risk. Because the trailers simply do not convey a good impression of what the actual game feeling is.

So much story, so much to unlock

What surprised me the most was the sheer extent of the game. Again and again, I thought: “Ah, now surely the ‘end’ of the game is coming and then the story is through.” But that was never the case. There were always new dialogues to unlock, new bonuses to earn, and many of the most interesting details of the story are revealed long after the official credits.

In addition, the characters in the game are simply entertaining and wonderful. The somewhat shy, yet extremely diligent Dusa captivated me from the start, and even enemies like Megaera are just great, making you want to hear more from them.

Sure – the story isn’t exactly brand new. After all, all the characters are taken from Greek mythology, so their personalities are generally known. Nevertheless, I felt that their portrayals in Hades were so fresh and entertaining that you looked forward to every little conversation.

Even now, after over 120 hours of playtime, I am still not “finished.” I still have a number of achievements and dialogues that I want to see.

A player discovers that you can wipe out the entire enemy team in seconds with a shark in Marvel Rivals

Benedikt Schlotmann 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Marvel Rivals is a new third-person shooter on Steam and PS5. A player has now discovered that with a trick, they can eliminate the entire enemy team in just a few moments.

Which hero is it about? In Marvel Rivals, you can play as a strange shark, Jeff the Land Shark or simply Jeffrey. This is a shark that can walk on land. He appears a bit like a dog in shark form.

In the game Marvel Rivals, he is officially a type of supporter who relies on various healing skills primarily, alongside some attacks. However, with his ultimate ability, you can cause a lot of chaos.

With the ultimate ability “It’s Jeff!” you can briefly consume all players (both allies and enemies) within a certain radius before you have to spit them out again.

Start video

Player jumps to their death with shark, eliminating the enemy team

What is the trick? One player has discovered on Reddit that the ultimate ability “It’s Jeff!” of the character can also be used to eliminate the entire team. Because once you’ve consumed the enemies with the ability, you can jump to your death from the next cliff.

The special thing is: The enemy players who are currently inside your belly die together with the player who jumps off the cliff. The Reddit user calls it
“Jeff’s Sacrifice”: He sacrifices his own life to also destroy the entire enemy team.

Does it always work? No, you need to be lucky that the entire situation aligns, as you only have a few moments before you must spit the enemies out again. This means you need to be within reach of an abyss during the consumption action for it to work. Otherwise, you will have to spit the enemies back onto the playing field.

At least you should keep the trick in mind when you’re fighting with “Jeffrey” at an edge in the next match.

Whether the trick works permanently is another question: It is quite possible that NetEase, the game’s developer, will adjust the shark’s ability again. The game is still very fresh, and the developers are likely to add some bug fixes, buffs, and nerfs in the coming days and weeks.

A Pokémon speaks gibberish in the anime, the true message can only be understood when playing the ‘call’ backwards

Jasmin Beverungen 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Every Pokémon calls its own name or at least makes another sound. Some of them sound strange, but there is also one Pokémon that says more in the anime than it initially appears.

Which Pokémon is it? Katagami is also known as UB-04 Schwerthieb and is one of the Ultra Beasts from Pokémon. These are mysterious beasts that first appear in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

The Pokémon is of the Grass/Steel type and looks like a mix between origami paper and a katana. Accordingly, it can perform several attacks related to cutting and swords. When it speaks, it actually calls its own name.

Normally, Pokémon do not speak the language of humans. Only a few exceptions like Meowth have learned to speak like humans. But Katagami can speak human language, at least when a trick is applied.

How Meowth learned to speak can be found here:

How does the trick work? Sometimes it seems like Katagami makes strange noises. But those who listen closely might notice that Katagami makes some sounds that are similar to human language.

The trick: The sound of the Pokémon must be played backwards. Then it becomes clear that Katagami often repeats the same sentence. What it says can be heard in the following video by YouTuber Poipole Entertainment:

What does the Pokémon say? The Pokémon is just as brutal as its cutting art. It repeatedly says that it has cut a worthless object again. It often rearranges the words in the sentence, but the meaning remains the same.

Are there other Pokémon that can speak? The most famous example is probably Meowth. It has learned human language and can therefore come up with devious plans with Jessie and James to steal Pikachu.

Chatot, on the other hand, is a Pokémon where every specimen speaks human language. However, Chatot can only repeat the sentences they have heard before.

WoW player finds creepy face in his mount and asks: “Who is that?”

Cortyn 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In some mount, a scary face is hidden. A queen from another game is watching you while riding in World of Warcraft.

Even though many of our readers have been playing World of Warcraft for nearly two decades now, there are still small details that not everyone knows. In the game’s subreddit, a user made a rather eerie discovery, as one of his mounts has a hidden face that grins at the character. What lies behind this, we will reveal to you here.

What was discovered? In the WoW subreddit, the user Thraybu shared a small screenshot. It shows his elf in the cockpit of a mechanical mount. Behind the joystick, a face is clearly visible that is looking at the character. Thraybu asks: “Who is the face in my sky golem?”

The community’s response comes quickly, as it is a rather well-known face – at least among gaming veterans. The character is Sarah Kerrigan from the StarCraft franchise.

This is how the community reacts: In the WoW subreddit, they are having fun, as most of them apparently still remember Sarah Kerrigan. After all, she was a protagonist in both the original StarCraft and the expansion Broodwar, as well as in the StarCraft II cycle. For some, she is fondly referred to as: “Sylvanas, but with bugs.”

Some of the comments:

“Damn, StarCraft is so dead now that people don’t even recognize Kerrigan?” – 4Khazmodan
“Oh man, is this the gaming equivalent of finding out you’ve gotten old…when people don’t remember or don’t even know what StarCraft is?” – N0x1mus

Is this a new Easter egg? No. The “face in the mount” has been there since the vanilla version of World of Warcraft. Even back then, some goblins used shredders, for example in the Stranglethorn Vale, to chop wood. These shredders had already incorporated the face of the Queen of Blades into their cockpit.

Such references to other Blizzard games are actually quite common in World of Warcraft. You can not only encounter heroes from Hearthstone, like Elise Starseeker or Sir Finley Mrrgglton (in “Legion”, “Dragonflight”, and “The War Within”), but you can also find the tomb for a game that was never released – the StarCraft shooter codenamed “Nova” (The Burning Crusade).
However, there are also a lot of Easter eggs that remind you of other games or franchises that do not belong to Blizzard, such as Zelda or energy drinks.

Just before Christmas: ‘Life is Strange’ fires developers

Cortyn 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Bad news for all “Life is Strange” fans. Developers have been laid off just before Christmas.

Just a few weeks ago, the latest installment of the “Life is Strange” series was released. But no less than six weeks after the release of “Double Exposure,” the developer has issued a sad announcement: some developers must leave and have been fired.

What happened? Via X, the developer Deck Nine Games announced that they are “sharing the sad news” that they “have to say goodbye to some of our talented team members.”

They want to help those affected find new work and are proud of what they created together.

This dismissal is particularly bitter because it happens just before Christmas, and many fans see it in the comments as heartless. Because now the affected employees have to struggle with job loss and existential fears during the reflective holiday season.

Is this due to the failure of the new Life is Strange? Many suspect that the layoffs are related to the performance of the latest “Life is Strange” installment. The newest release “Double Exposure” received very mixed reviews. While the first episodes are praised, many seem particularly dissatisfied with the last third of the game. Also, the fact that one of the most popular characters from part 1 does not appear has caused a lot of discontent in the community.

On Metacritic, this has led to rather mixed results. While the press gives the game a score of 73 / 100, users rate it only 4.1 / 10. Even if some obvious “review bombing” posts were to be excluded, the newest installment still performs relatively poorly.

Especially on the platform X, there are increasingly snarky comments in the style of “Go Woke, Go Broke,” referring to the fact that Life is Strange: Double Exposure places a great emphasis on inclusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and emotional storytelling. However, this argument seems a bit strange – after all, that has been a hallmark of the “Life is Strange” games since the first part.

Ultimately, Deck Nine Games is just the latest case of the crisis currently facing gaming companies worldwide. Almost all major game developers have had to lay off many employees in recent months. A trend that has been ongoing for almost two years and apparently shows no signs of ending.

A few months ago, there was also an unpleasant incident at Deck Nine Games. At that time, it was discovered that employees had attempted to smuggle clearly far-right symbolism into one of the games – which, however, was uncovered.

He has been driving the same Volvo for 25 years, although he has a fortune of 11.2 billion euros and does not want his children to inherit everything

Benedikt Schlotmann 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Ken Fisher has a billion-dollar fortune. However, for 25 years, he has been driving the same car. He states himself that he doesn’t care much for money and material things. Therefore, he also does not want his children to inherit his fortune. He has other plans for his wealth.

Ken Fisher is a billionaire with a net worth of 11.2 billion US dollars. At least that’s according to the English-language magazine Forbes.com.

Ken Fisher founded a wealth management company called “Fisher Investments”. Today, the firm is one of the leading companies in financial consulting and asset management worldwide, overseeing more than 45 billion euros.

But instead of spending money to buy an expensive car, he has been driving the same vehicle, a Volvo, for 25 years. Additionally, he refuses to pass on his fortune to his children. He gives several reasons why he doesn’t want to: independence and personal development.

Billionaire believes: Work is an important part of life

Fisher explained to the British Telegraph that he does not want to pass on his vast wealth to his children. He believes it is important for his children to remain independent and to work. He considers work to be an important part of life. He says:

I will not let any of them go hungry. But I don’t think they should have so much that they never have to work again, take drugs, be wasteful, and get divorced 15 times. I believe that work is therapeutic.

Many people do not understand this because they do not like what they do, but I believe that work is good for you.

This form of upbringing he learned from his own father: he was a pragmatist, financed his older sons’ education, but Ken had to fend for himself. This experience shaped his determination and his life philosophy: work as a driver of personal development and not as a compulsion. Thus he built his empire with an initial capital of only 250 dollars.

What will happen to all the money? Fisher explained that he plans to donate his fortune over the next 20 years. Recently, he founded a foundation to distribute the money to the people.

He does not want to leave the money to his own children, as he does not consider it sensible. He stated in a conversation with the British magazine:

Most of my money will go in a way that I do not understand before my wife and I are dead. I do not believe in things like the Giving Pledge – the campaign by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett that aims to encourage wealthy individuals to donate most of their money to charitable causes – that feels too formalized to me.

But I also do not believe that it’s particularly good for anyone to leave huge sums of money in an empire for future descendants. My wife and I are currently figuring out how we can do this. We just established a foundation – and everything must be distributed within 20 years.

In another story, the company Volvo played an important role. The state of Sweden sold Volvos to North Korea at that time. In Sweden, they have been waiting since 1974 for North Korea to pay its bills. They are currently waiting for 300 million euros. This is due to 1,000 cars that were sold to the state: 50 years ago, Sweden sold 1,000 cars to North Korea – To this day, they are waiting for 300 million euros

Path of Exile 2 launched in Early Access on December 6, 2024. However, due to issues, no one was able to access the server. Nevertheless, the game had hundreds of thousands of viewers on Twitch.

The action RPG Path of Exile has launched on Steam. However, there are many issues at the start, and the developers are postponing the release by several hours. This did not prevent around a million viewers from watching on Twitch, even though the game was not working at all. You can read more about the issues in our ticker for Path of Exile 2.

Why are so many people watching? Path of Exile 2 offers what are called Twitch Drops: This means you need to watch a selected person stream Path of Exile 2. However, you do not need to interact with the streamer; you can simply let the stream run in the background while you do something completely different.

How many viewers does Path of Exile 2 currently have? At the current moment (as of 07.12.24, around 10:00 AM), Path of Exile 2 on Twitch has about 320,000 viewers. That is only about a third of the high numbers at the game’s release night. However, player numbers are currently trending slightly upwards.

How many viewers did Diablo 4 have? According to Twitchtracker.com, Diablo 4 had a peak of 941,488 viewers. This was on June 1, 2023.

Path of Exile 2 can now be played without issues

You can now log in to Path of Exile 2 without any issues. The developers have resolved the problems, and many streamers are actually showcasing Path of Exile 2. If you still want the Twitch Drops or just want to watch someone play, you still have a chance. The whole event runs in the first two weeks after the game’s EA launch.

The Twitch Drops will remain exclusive throughout the entire Early Access phase. So if you miss them, you will only be able to obtain them again for real money afterwards.

Tip Number 1: Spend your gold wisely

In Path of Exile 2, you can spend your gold on many different things. However, it’s best if you buy the random items from the vendor with it.

But beware: Not only is your gold there limited, but also the maximum pulls. These are only increased when you eliminate elite enemies.

It’s best to buy the random items for which you currently don’t have a good one yet. The chance for unique items is not incredibly low. In the test, I was able to pull two items of this rarity up to Act 3.

Once you have a rare and good item, don’t waste your gold further to get an even better one. Most rares and uniques can get you through the acts without upgrades.

Tip Number 2: Check the vendors more often

Since you are trading with gold instead of items with NPCs in Path of Exile 2, you should return to the city more often and browse. For little gold, you can get rare items with good stats that you can use over many gaming hours.

If you want, you can even buy cheap blue and yellow items from the vendors and have them enchanted with another vendor to receive upgrade materials. This is rarely worth it, but it’s a method to quickly obtain a certain currency.

In PoE2, the portal scrolls you used for a portal back and forth to the city have been abolished. Instead, you can simply return for free at any time. So if you lack gold, you can collect everything and sell it. I realized this late but could then shop constantly from the regular vendors, especially since I had already exhausted all my attempts with the random vendor.

In this video, you can learn how the bosses in Path of Exile 2 are created:

Tip Number 3: Reskill as often as you want

As a player who always played with a build guide in the predecessor of Path of Exile 2, since reskilling early in the game was practically impossible, I quickly learned to switch my skills in Path of Exile 2.

Especially when there are still several stations on the skill highway before the next node, you can well and truly use other, better abilities in the meantime.

For a little gold, you can change your passive abilities at the corresponding NPC at any time. The same goes for the skills in your weapons. The game gives you quite a few skill gems, so keep them and feel free to adjust your character a bit at the beginning of the game when you find suitable items.

In the test, for example, I found a staff that upgraded all my frost abilities by 2 levels. For a little gold, I discarded my previous lightning build and was able to benefit from the good stats of the staff for a long time.

Tip Number 4: Pay attention to your resistances

In Path of Exile 2, you lose 10% of your resistances against elements per act. This means that it can quickly happen that you are extremely vulnerable to a certain type of attacks.

Therefore, you should regularly check where improvements are needed. You can find an overview of all your stats by pressing the C key or opening the character window.

To increase your resistances, you can either choose a corresponding gem or improve your equipped items with runes. But be careful: Once socketed, you can never remove a rune from the item.

It’s best to ensure balanced resistances with your runes. Simply keep important charms in your inventory and swap them out depending on which elements your next boss uses against you.

Tip Number 5: Play more cautiously; otherwise, everything takes longer

Path of Exile 2 is harder than its predecessor. One fact I felt with every death of my character is the respawn of enemies. Every time I had to walk from the checkpoint, all enemies were alive again.

Defeating them without getting killed again took extra time. The longer I played Path of Exile 2, the more cautious I became, especially as a glass cannon character.

If you want to play Path of Exile 2 like its predecessor, you will quickly be jolted awake. And if you always have to fight your way through the enemies from the checkpoint, you are ultimately slower than cautious players.

An actress earned millions annually from The Simpsons, although she appeared in only one episode

Niko Hernes 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The Simpsons is one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, and this is evident in its history. The series has been on air since 1989 and continues to release new episodes to this day. Over the years, there have been many cameos from stars. One of them received several million dollars annually, even though she appeared in only one episode.

Which actress is it? In episode 4 of season 24, Grampa on the Lam, actress Jennifer Tilly appears as herself. She appears in a poker tutorial video that Lisa watches in the episode.

Most people probably know Jennifer Tilly from the Chucky series, in which she also last appeared in season 3 of the show. She has been working as an actress since 1983 and was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film Bullets Over Broadway in 1995.

With the Simpsons, she earned several million US dollars each year, and this had nothing to do with her guest role. It was about a divorce and the untapped potential of the series.

No one knew that ‘The Simpsons’ would continue for trillions of years

What led her to earn several million US dollars? Between 1984 and 1991, she was married to Sam Simon. The television producer co-created the famous series with Matt Groening and James L. Brooks. As a team, they produced the early episodes of the series.

In 1993, he left the show but negotiated royalties from which he received a percentage. Initially, he thought it was a bad deal, but during an appearance on the show 60 Minutes (via CBS News), he revised that thought in 2007:

When I was there, I thought I was underpaid. I thought I wasn’t getting enough recognition for my work. Now I think it’s exactly the opposite. I’m getting too much recognition for my work. And the money is ridiculous.

One of the original voice actors leaves The Simpsons after 35 years, but not without one last tradition

In that format, he also explains that since his departure in 1993, he has made well over 10 million dollars a year, solely from royalties. Jennifer Tilly also benefited from this, receiving parts of his Simpsons contracts during their divorce in 1991. She also stated, No one knew that ‘The Simpsons’ would continue for trillions of years. (via Business Insider).

She was very grateful for that. In the podcast The Originals, she explained in 2021 that she made many films just to earn money for things like plumbing or leaking roofs. Thanks to the royalties, she no longer needed to do that.

In 2015, Sam Simon passed away from cancer and donated all of his fortune. It is unclear whether Tilly still receives her licensing revenue today. However, since the Simpsons are still running and continue to sell merchandise, one can assume she does. Years later, she still spoke positively about her ex-husband.

Kingdom Come 2 shows in the new story trailer that you can be quite evil

Ody 7. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is drawing closer. A new story trailer sets a dark tone, even for Heinrich personally.

What kind of game is this? Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an open-world role-playing game from the Czech developer Warhorse Studios. It is a direct sequel to the first part, which was celebrated by fans for its realism and atmospheric portrayal of late medieval Bohemia.

In a new story trailer, the developers provide a closer look at the main story.

You can watch the story trailer here:

Start video

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 presents dark prospects for Heinrich in the new story trailer

Autoplay

Desire for revenge and moral choices

What does the trailer show? Right at the beginning, it becomes clear that Heinrich is struggling with inner demons. His already deceased adoptive father asks him if this is really what he wants: to kill other people to avenge his killed family.

While the predecessor told a fairly classic hero’s story, the question of morality is likely to become more important in Kingdom Come 2: Is revenge really the only way? And how far would one go for revenge?

The trailer definitely suggests that Heinrich can go quite far in dire situations – provided you want him to. Fans on YouTube appreciate the dark approach to a revenge story. In the comments below the trailer, they write:

markmitin7397: “Honestly, it looks like this game will be much darker than the previous one. The theme of how far you are willing to go for revenge. And I’m all for it, it’s dark and will make Henry more human when he does some questionable things to achieve his goals.”
drakuro6618: “‘Are you sure you didn’t kill someone’s father or mother?’ That is such a great line for this game, as that was the beginning of Heinrich’s story in the previous game, and he could have done the same to someone else. ‘War is a nasty business’, indeed.”

The start in Path of Exile 2 is much easier than its predecessor, but professionals need not worry

Cedric Holmeier 6. December 2024 Reading time 6 minutes

While the players are just starting in Path of Exile 2, MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier was able to try out the action RPG through a preview access. What makes Path of Exile 2 better and why it’s worth it for newcomers and returnees, you can find out here.

Path of Exile 2 is the successor to one of the most successful free-to-play games of the last 10 years. The action RPG offers many improvements that welcome newcomers, while veterans continue to be challenged.

I tested the action RPG for about two weeks, looking at how the new title feels for players who are not yet veterans. I played Path of Exile 1 back in the closed beta over 10 years ago and spent over 300 hours there in total. I have regularly checked in periodically.

Here you can see the cinematic intro of the game:

Start video

Path of Exile 2: The Cinematic Intro of the Greatest Diablo Competitor

Autoplay

User-friendly for professionals and beginners

Those who have never played Path of Exile 2 and its predecessor will hardly be able to tell the games apart at first glance, but that is clearly intentional. With the second part of PoE, the developers want to consciously continue what has worked well so far.

The innovations, on the other hand, are meant to please both sides:

The fans of the first game, who have thousands of hours of playtime, and new players who are fresh to the game, with experience from competing games or with no experience at all.

Gold is less complex

Gold is a major new feature in the game. While you traded with a complex system of various currencies in Path of Exile, there is a gold system for trading with NPCs in Path of Exile 2.

This is comfortable for beginners, as they do not have to learn how currencies work at the beginning of the game. Gold will be used for various functions right away. All of these are more convenient than similar systems from the predecessor.

The easy trading with NPCs and also the random trader, who can bless you with the luck of rare items early in the game, are great innovations to quickly get into the game without even an explanation.

Skill tree remains complex, but respeccing will be easier

The massive passive skill tree of Path of Exile overwhelms every new player again in the second part. Countless skills are available. However, a crucial change affects both beginners and veterans alike.

In PoE 2, it’s much easier to respecc. If you want to change your character, you only need to go to the respective NPC, and for a bit of gold, you can redistribute the skill points.

In a preliminary conversation with Game Director Jonathan Roggers, he explained that the developers did not like the system from the predecessor. At the beginning, it should be inexpensive to change your skills, not later at the end of the game. This has now been put into practice as well.

Here you can see some impressions of the game:

But the active skills have also changed. In Path of Exile 2, you continuously receive new skill gems as drops from monsters. By right-clicking on them, you can easily select a skill. If you receive a higher skill gem, you can upgrade your ability or unlock a new one at that level.

Gradually, more abilities from all classes become available to you, which you can combine freely. The system works similarly for supporting skills. Here, you only get the skills that truly make your character strong later on, while at the beginning you are still somewhat rudimentary.

Thanks to these changes, I was able to fundamentally change my character three times in the early game without having to start over. In the predecessor, this would have been absolutely necessary. Especially when guides and builds are not available at the beginning, this innovation will likely save many players’ characters.

Flasks, Charms, and Resistances are greatly simplified

There are again resistances to various elements in Path of Exile 2. These are an essential part of the game to avoid enemies dealing too much damage.

While it was difficult for me as a beginner in the predecessor to always reach the necessary resistance values without trading with other players, the developers simplify this system at the beginning of the game.

Items in Path of Exile 2 can offer slots for runes. In our test, there were plenty of runes, and each of them had its own values, including resistances. By upgrading items with runes, it’s much easier to reach the necessary values for the next boss.

Another innovation is the so-called charms. These new equipment items are worn on the belt and activate automatically in the right situation. They replace part of the utility flasks by freeing you from one type of movement-restricting effects automatically or granting you resistances. For example, the charm that helps against cold damage offers a temporary bonus to cold resistance.

The flasks in Path of Exile 2 have been significantly simplified: Instead of five, there are now only two flasks, which improves the flow of the game and overwhelms beginners less. The flask piano has come to an end.

The developers have indeed decided to only offer two flasks: The life flask and the mana flask. Both flasks do what their name says and can provide better effects with a higher rarity of the item as usual.

In the test, I never had to rack my brain to come up with resistances for the next boss fight. A quick exchange of charms, and the character is adjusted. The panic of pressing the right flask never occurred.

Powerful character despite harder gameplay

Path of Exile 2 is generally a bit slower and tougher than its predecessor. Even at the beginning of the game, opponents can be a challenge, and the developers announced before the release: The goal is to make the fights more exciting (via www.sportskeeda.com).

The new dodge is probably the point that changes the game the most.

The dodge roll is essential for all battles in the game and expresses that it’s no longer about defeating as many enemies as possible in the shortest time, but rather overcoming challenges in more difficult battles.

Boss fights last longer in general, and it’s more about striking at the right moment and knowing when to dodge a skill. Needing a second or third attempt for a boss feels intentional.

The character becomes noticeably stronger

With everything that makes Path of Exile 2 easier for beginners, the progression of your character is something that will also please veterans. With each new item, new milestone on the passive skill tree, and each skill, the character feels stronger.

This fades slowly over the levels without real bosses until you receive another upgrade after defeating the next powerful enemy.

Changes have also been made to the progression. Trials, which hold important upgrades for the character, serve as an example. While they were quite boring in the predecessor, they have received a facelift in PoE 2 and now offer more variety and challenge, while the actual character progression behind it remains almost identical.

There are no real cuts in loot either. Since you now receive gold, enemies drop fewer of the items you use to upgrade items themselves, which were used as currency in the predecessor.

The progression systems in the game are gradually unlocked, allowing all players to learn simply through playing how to upgrade their character.

Path of Exile 2 starts at exactly the right point

The game is easier for beginners and just as complex for veterans as its predecessor. As a player, you spend less time in menus and more time fighting difficult opponents or learning boss mechanics.

The comfortable new features do not take away from what made the predecessor good. On the contrary: The progression in Path of Exile 2 is simply more pleasant without being less complex.

PoE 2 plays differently than its predecessor. The game places more emphasis on cool fights and interesting challenges while removing points where players constantly stumbled in the previous game.

For newcomers, returnees, or even players from competing games like Diablo 4, entering Path of Exile 2 will be much easier. Veterans, on the other hand, will also be able to focus more on the actual game due to the new comfort.

PoE2 has mastered the balancing act between an easier entry for new players and better fights for veterans by providing both sides with more comfort without sacrificing quality.

“Maybe they are right” – Author of Game of Thrones is unsure whether he will ever finish it

Niko Hernes 6. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

No book sequel is probably more eagerly awaited than The Winds of Winter by George R.R. Martin. Fans have been waiting for over 13 years for the continuation of Game of Thrones. Many have lost hope. In an interview, the author once again spoke about the book and whether he believes he will finish it.

What is The Winds of Winter? In 1996, George R.R. Martin started a fantasy series with A Game of Thrones, which has turned into a very successful series. Unlike the series, however, the book series has not been completed yet.

The last part, A Dance with Dragons, was published over 13 years ago, and the upcoming book is supposed to be The Winds of Winter. But it still hasn’t been released, and it doesn’t seem like it will be anytime soon. Some fans believe it will never be published. In a recent interview, Martin spoke about his next book.

What does George R.R. Martin say about The Winds of Winter? Many fans are eager for The Winds of Winter, especially because the ending of the series was disappointing for many viewers. Even George R.R. Martin is not satisfied with all aspects.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the author also spoke about The Winds of Winter, and he admitted that he is probably 13 years too late. He wonders how that could even happen. However, he continues that he is still quite vital:

But that is still a priority. Many people are already writing obituaries for me. [They say] ‘Oh, he will never finish.’ Maybe they are right. But I don’t know. I live in the moment! I seem to be pretty vital!
George R.R. Martin in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter

He also mentioned that he would never retire, as he is not a golfer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he is currently focusing on adapting the short stories of his old friend Howard Waldrop. The two authors were friends for over 60 years until Waldrop passed away in early 2024.

The probably most relaxed Twitch streamer for LoL unexpectedly wins the award for the best meltdown

Niko Hernes 6. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In 2024, the Streamer Awards took place again in Germany. There, awards are given in various categories based on community votes. There was once again the Best Rage Moment and it was won by someone who is known as a relaxed guy.

What are the Streamer Awards? On December 5, 2024, the Streamer Awards took place again. This is an award ceremony for the German-speaking Twitch community, where the community can vote in various categories for different nominees.

Once again, the popular Best Rage Moment was included. Well-known streamers were nominated again, but one stood out a bit:

NiklasWilson, SidneyEweka – Eli is thinking of us
EloTRiX – The Mates again
NoWay4u-Sir – Then just piss off
Trymacs, Chefstrobel – The Ten One Olaf
xRohat – Controller Crash Test

In the category, NoWay wins, who is actually known as a relaxed guy and does not fit the stereotype of the angry LoL player at all. When he receives the award, he even apologizes once again.

This doesn’t quite fit NoWay’s character, as he is known as a rather relaxed streamer who remains calm even in annoying situations while playing. Unlike the popular Tyler1, he is also watched for his game explanations and calm demeanor.

Throne and Liberty: Shakarux – How to defeat the T2 co-op dungeon boss

Nathalie Schnee 6. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Throne and Liberty there are the new T2 Dungeons. How to defeat the new boss Shakarux is revealed by MeinMMO.

What can the new boss do? Shakarux has seven different mechanics to watch out for. Since this is a T2 Dungeon, defeating the boss is not easy. You are allowed to enter the dungeon Empty Wastelands at level 50 and with a combat power of 2,500.

To collect the rewards, you must spend Dimension Contract Marks II to open the boss chest at the end of the dungeon. It would be advantageous to enter the dungeon with friends or guild members, as it is not easy to conquer with random players. MeinMMO tells you what to look out for.

Purple Pillars

In the arena, there are six pillars, three of which have a purple marking. These special pillars shoot lasers at the boss and stack an effect on him. When 30 stacks are reached, your entire group will be destroyed. You can prevent this by splitting into teams of three. Each team will then have two group members who take turns standing in front of the beam to interrupt it.

If you are exposed to the beam for too long, you will also die after 30 stacks. So, make sure to alternate in time.

Purple Circles

During the fight, purple circles appear under the players. You should ensure that these do not overlap, or else significant damage will occur.

Yellow Mist

This attack is a front attack and can therefore be blocked. As soon as a purple diamond appears on the boss, it is your cue to dodge with the block ability and the direction key.

Yellow Breath

This attack is initiated by certain indicators. The purple pillars stop shooting lasers, glowing fields appear on the ground that must be avoided, one player receives a yellow marking, and three pillars in the arena start glowing yellow.

Subsequently, Shakarux breathes his yellow breath towards the marked player and chases them. The marked player must then run past the yellow glowing pillars in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction, making sure all three are hit by the breath.

Yellow Zones

The boss creates two large dark yellow circles on the ground, from which you should escape quickly to avoid taking damage.

Red Whirlpool

If you are marked by Shakarux with a red orb, immediately move away from your group members. Two players will always be marked, after a short time a large red whirlpool will be placed on the ground underneath them. Try to get out of the whirlpool and when you no longer have a mark, you may approach your group members again.

Yellow Eyes

When the boss has only 50 percent and 30 percent of his hit points left, he marks all players with a yellow eye and then strikes the entire group with his tentacles. This attack cannot be parried, but you can withstand it a bit with shield abilities.

Now you should be prepared for the fight against Shakarux to take him down. If you have any other problems with other bosses or general questions about Throne and Liberty, please check our overview.

Players from Throne and Liberty celebrate a new feature from Patch 1.10, sold through the in-game shop

Karsten Scholz 6. December 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

With patch 1.10.0, not only the spear weapon, dimension checks, the torture chamber of screams, or the war games for Throne and Liberty have been released. A new feature that is not mentioned in the patch notes is currently being particularly celebrated by the community.

What is this new feature? Anyone playing Throne and Liberty with a certain ambition needs the appropriate setups of equipment and skills for different situations. For a long time, the number of sets you were allowed to save was limited to three each for skills and equipment.

What has changed with patch 1.10.0? On one hand, you can now earn an additional set slot for skills and equipment through the free path of the battle pass. On the other hand, there are now six more set slots for skills and equipment in the in-game shop. Cost: 125 Lucent per unlocking. So a total of 1,500 Lucent.

Players who sufficiently unlock the battle pass and invest the Lucent can now save up to ten sets each for skills and equipment and switch between them at the push of a button.

Can patch 1.10.0 of Throne and Liberty lead to a sustainable increase in player numbers?
