“Somehow it just doesn’t fit in my brain”: The actor of Sheldon just can’t remember a children’s game from The Big Bang Theory

Jim Parsons played the role of Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory. There is a certain children’s game that he just couldn’t remember. Nevertheless, it is one of the most popular games of the sitcom.

Which game is it? In episode 8 of season 2, Sheldon and Raj can’t decide which sci-fi movie they want to watch. Raj wants to decide it with the classic rock-paper-scissors. But Sheldon points out that among acquaintances, there is up to an 80% chance that the duel will end in a tie. 

Therefore, he suggests playing the extended version rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock. The rules are a bit more complicated than in normal rock-paper-scissors:

  • The scissors cut the paper
  • The paper wraps the rock
  • The rock crushes the lizard
  • The lizard poisons Spock
  • Spock smashes the scissors
  • The scissors decapitate the lizard
  • The lizard eats the paper
  • The paper disproves Spock
  • Spock vaporizes the rock
  • The rock crushes the scissors

So, in addition to the classic rules, the lizard and Spock have crept in, each adding a new twist to the existing elements. This makes a tie even less likely. Ironically, there is still a tie in the episode because both Raj and Sheldon choose Spock.

You can watch the trailer for The Big Bang Theory here:

The actor of Sheldon couldn’t remember the rules

Why were the rules so difficult for Jim Parsons? The actor admitted that he would like to remember the rules of the game. However, explaining the rules of the game was one of the hardest monologues he ever had to memorize.

When asked if he was tired when fans asked him to play rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock with them, Parsons replied:

I am not tired at all! Mainly because I can’t do it. I think people are tired of me being such a disappointment when they hear about it or, God forbid, want to play it. Honestly, that was one of the hardest things I ever had to memorize. Somehow, it just doesn’t fit in my brain. I hate to say that means it doesn’t matter to me, but I’m afraid it really doesn’t mean much to me.

Therefore, he would like to know the rules, but they just wouldn’t “fit in his brain.” Since The Big Bang Theory ended with season 12, he at least doesn’t have to try to remember the rules anymore.

In addition to The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons also appeared in the spin-off series Young Sheldon. For the grand finale of season 7, he returned as the crazy genius. In an interview, he revealed how he felt stepping back into his role: This is how Sheldon felt about his return to The Big Bang Theory

A competitor of Hearthstone has hundreds of fans and really good reviews on Steam – After 7 years the game has to close now

Elder Scrolls has its own card game like Hearthstone on Steam, but after years without an update, the game must now close. A look at the player numbers reveals why.

What kind of game is this? The Elder Scrolls: Legends is an online card game for PC and mobile devices. The game is modeled after Hearthstone and relies on board effects and action to shed the dreary card game stigma.

In addition to playing against other players, gamers can also challenge the AI alone. Deck-building is also an important component of the game. However, the end of the card game has now come.

In the major competitor Hearthstone, the best WoW villain returned and died again immediately:

5 years without updates and now it’s over

How has the game performed lately? The Elder Scrolls: Legends has not been doing well lately. On Steam, the game reached only hundreds of fans at peak times.

Although the reviews on Steam were very good lately, there were probably too few players interested in the card game on Steam at the end. The interest on mobile devices also apparently wasn’t strong enough for The Elder Scrolls: Legends to keep the card game alive, even though many players might have liked the game here too, as evidenced by a rating of 3.8 stars in the Google Play Store.

When the game was released in 2017, there were still many updates and expansions for the card game. However, in 2019 it came to an end. The game went into maintenance mode and has not received any updates since.

Player numbers on Steam have since dropped to a few hundred per day and remained at this level until the news of the end of The Elder Scrolls: Legends appeared on players’ displays.

When is it over? The servers of The Elder Scrolls: Legends will be shut down on January 30, 2025. On January 25, the players will hold a tournament to celebrate the game one last time (via Reddit).

Players on Reddit have mixed reactions to the news. While many are saddened, others are still happy that the game was able to continue for so long without an update.

Even the model Hearthstone seems to be having difficulties. For the first time since the launch of the card game, the developers have not released a new game board, which has raised concerns among fans: Many thought Hearthstone was dead after the last update; now Blizzard comments on the concern

This year, brand-name shoes are on the wish lists of your little siblings, but for their characters in Fortnite

In Fortnite, the old map from back then also introduces a whole new kind of cosmetic items that could end up on many players’ wishlists this year.

What items are we talking about? Fortnite is bringing back not only the beloved old map with the new update “Remix Chapter 2”, but also introduces a new feature. Instead of just offering skins for your outfits, weapons, and more, starting November 12, 2024, you can also buy shoes in Fortnite called “Kicks.”

The shoes can be combined with numerous skins and give them a visual upgrade. To obtain them, you must unlock them through the Battlepass or purchase them individually.

The shoes are part of Fortnite Chapter 2: Remix, and you can watch the trailer here:

New Shoes, but in Fortnite

How does it work with the shoes? The so-called Kicks are set to be available as an upgrade for 500 skins right at launch. By spring, 95% of the skins are expected to follow. According to the developers’ statements (via fortnite.com), some skins are better suited than others to wear the Kicks, but the upgrade is designed to work on as many skins as possible.

However, the designs of the shoes are not only coming from Fortnite itself. At the launch of the new skins, there is a direct collaboration with Nike and Jordans, bringing real-life shoes into the game. The Jordans brand shoes will be available in the Remix Pass.

But there will also be skins that have been specifically designed for Fortnite. On their website (via fortnite.com), the developers showcase shark slippers that will only be available in the shop.

Are the shoes free? So far, no free shoes in Fortnite have been announced. However, the price for the shoes in the shop is also not yet known. Those who purchase the Battlepass and progress far enough will at least receive one pair of shoes there.

Especially since the shoes are likely not to be available for free at least initially, they may end up on many players’ Christmas wish lists. So if you spot a pair of Jordans or shark slippers with your younger siblings, you should ask whether it’s the Fortnite skin or a real pair of shoes.

The shoes are being introduced with the Remix Chapter 2 update. They are a new feature, while many contents will change to the familiar.

One of the most uncomfortable moments in Star Wars occurred because George Lucas had a big problem

The kiss between Luke and Leia in Star Wars feels quite uncomfortable in hindsight, knowing that they are actually siblings. However, George Lucas had a good reason for the decision to make them brother and sister later on.

What is the relationship between Luke and Leia in Star Wars? The two are siblings, which they discover in the third film of the series, Return of the Jedi. Prior to that, however, there had been a strong chemistry between them, all signs pointed to a love triangle where Luke and Han Solo were vying for the princess’s affection.

In Episode V, the infamous kiss between the siblings even occurs, with Leia trying to make Han Solo jealous. In retrospect, the scene feels extremely uncomfortable, but at that time, even George Lucas himself did not know that Luke and Leia were actually brother and sister.

Start video
Marco from Nerdkultur analyzes Darth Vader from Star Wars

“I had it right in front of my nose”

What was the reason? George Lucas made the two siblings when he got stuck at a certain point in the plot: Luke needed the necessary motivation to give everything in the battle against Darth Vader and to be tempted by the dark side of the Force.

Lucas explains this in the Annotated Screenplays from 1997:

Finally, I had a problem in the fight between Luke and his father, which is why [Luke] finally turns to the dark side and tries to kill his father. [Director Richard Marquand] tried to fade out the fight between Luke and Vader, and we got to this point below the throne room, and he said, “You know, the script says that Vader says something that angers Luke,” or something vague like that. […] And we didn’t have the actual moment we needed, where it feels like Luke is holding back. He will not fight him. […] He would rather die, but then something causes him to fight. […] And as we further developed the script and worked out Leia’s significance as sister, I had it right in front of my nose, and it became obvious that it would provoke Luke if she turned to the dark side.

During the fight beneath the throne room, Luke finally unleashed his anger and went after Vader, whom he actually wanted to save. The scene made it plausible that Luke could fall to the dark side, but ultimately shows his heroism by resisting his dark desires.

However, with their incestuous kiss, Luke and Leia are not alone in the “Star Wars” universe. The family tree of Rey and Kylo Ren from the newer films should also be looked at more closely – that’s exactly what Filmstarts has done.

Overall, the original Star Wars trilogy is known for some ideas developing over time and repeatedly throwing existing plans out the window: Star Wars: Master Yoda was almost not created – Another Jedi was supposed to take his place

Diablo 4: Player defeats Andariel 250 times, this is his loot at the end

How well can you really farm loot from the Uber bosses in Diablo 4? A player tried it out. The result is disappointing, but it doesn’t really surprise the community.

Why Andariel specifically?

  • Andariel and Duriel are the two endgame bosses where you can best farm the coveted Uber Uniques.
  • The possible loot includes the Crown of the Godslayer and Tibault’s Will, two sought-after items, but also some important Uniques for the Spiritborn: Sepazontec and the Staff of Kepeleke, both essential for certain builds.
  • To fight Andariel, you must have reached at least Torment 1 and need materials to summon her. In our guide, you will find everything about how to summon and defeat Andariel.
Start video
Diablo 4: Der Gameplay-Trailer zur 6. Season, der Saison des aufsteigenden Hasses

This is the result after 250 runs: A user on Reddit stated that he defeated Andariel “about 250 times.” This cost him 5 billion gold and a considerable amount of time. In the end, he received about 3,000 items, including:

All in all, it was a waste of gold and time, writes the user. In the over 570 comments, there are doubts about whether the numbers can be correct: “He didn’t really keep count and tries to make it sound worse than it is.” 3,000 items are unrealistic for the number of kills; it has to be significantly less.

Other users believe that the result could indeed be correct. They themselves have experienced something similar.

“The main problem is that the loot is completely useless”

Another player calculates: The result corresponds to a drop rate of about 2% for Ancestor items. This matches with personal observations. Season 6 is far from being as generous with strong items as previous seasons have been.

The problem, however, is not so much how much loot you actually get, but how good it is. Here the community is in agreement. Even if you get heaps of items, a good portion of them is still useless.

These are things like the unwanted stats such as poison resistance, which appear as Major Affixes. Players even discuss that the values have a “weighting” and refer to the order of possible values at the enchanter.

However, the problem does not affect the entire community. Some always chase the ultimate items and want only perfect results when crafting, while others are satisfied with the improvements they find and never encounter the problems of those up there. For this group, it is only important to be able to just play: Player farms the content that no one wanted to do last season – “Maybe enjoys it a little too much”

After 13 years, a European becomes world champion in LoL again – But many mock him as he raises the trophy

In 2011, Fnatic became the first world champion in League of Legends, with six Europeans, including two players from Germany. For 13 years, players from Asia won the world championship afterward. It took until 2024 for a European to become world champion again, and with Martin “Rekkles” Larsson, it is even a real star. But no one really takes the title seriously.

Who is Rekkles? The Swede Rekkles is one of the most popular and iconic players of League of Legends in Europe. He was the franchise player of Fnatic, the most popular team in Europe, as an ADC and won the championship in the LEC 4 times. Individually, Rekkles also grabbed the highest honors: He was named the Most Valuable Player 4 times.

However, since 2020, his career has been on a downward trend. After playing for more than 5 consecutive years at Fnatic, he became a “migrant bird”: He first moved to arch-rival G2, then to the 2nd league in France, and finally back to Fnatic. He did not seem happy at any of the stations.

In 2023, Rekkles had had enough in Europe. He complained about Fnatic and G2, switched from ADC to the supporter role, and joined the South Korean team T1 as a “content creator”. The Swede played there at the age of 28 in their youth team.

Start video
The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend

T1 brings Rekkles as a substitute player and mascot to the Worlds

This is how he became world champion now: Apparently because Rekkles can play both support and ADC and is the only European in the squad, T1 took him as a substitute player to the LoL Worlds 2024 in Berlin, Paris, and London.

Now in LoL, substitute players are not used as regularly as in football. Substitute players in LoL only come into play when a professional player gets injured, which almost never happens. Or when an equally valuable starting player goes into a crisis of form and the coach sees the need for action.

Therefore, Rekkles had no minutes of playtime during the 17 games that T1 played at the Worlds.

Nevertheless, Rekkles was part of the T1 team, was present at the victory ceremony on stage, and his name will now also be on the trophy.

G2 takes a passive-aggressive shot at Rekkles

This is how it is commented: His former team, G2, which Rekkles had previously strongly criticized, posted a picture of Rekkles on November 2, where he says: “I promised I would win the Worlds, and I will” – to which G2 added: “AND HE DID IT” (via X).

This is quite passive-aggressive because when Rekkles said that, he certainly meant that he would lead Fnatic to victory and not watch Faker win from the stage as “emotional support”.

The comments are also such that many fans are making fun of how Rekkles almost “accidentally” appeared at the victory ceremony.

Even his former teammate at G2, jungler Jankos, is amused that Rekkles suddenly shows up at the title win.

Fans rejoice: This is karma – others just smile tiredly

How is this being discussed? Many Europeans are making fun of Rekkles’ title. Comments like: “Rekkles didn’t even die at the Worlds – he is the greatest.” can be read.

Or: “Rekkles is the best player in the world. He didn’t even touch the keyboard and became world champion. Imagine what he can achieve when he finally plugs in the keyboard.”

However, Rekkles also has some fans who are happy for him to have the title now: “It’s karma. Rekkles was pushed around by his teams for years until T1 picked him up. That he is now holding the trophy was a highlight of the night for some of us.”

“(Coach) Kkoma and (Supporter) Keria forced him to lift the trophy. You can tell by the fact that Rekkles himself was surprised. He looks hesitant and as if it’s embarrassing for him […] That shows how much they value him.”

What’s behind this: The only European who realistically could win a world championship title in LoL is probably midlaner Caps. However, he says he doesn’t want to switch to a strong team in Asia because it would feel like cheating to win the title that way – he would rather become world champion with G2.

For Rekkles, the time at T1 is certainly an exciting experience and a kind of slow transition to becoming a full-time streamer. The Worlds was certainly a great thing for him. But the way he imagined winning the world championship title at 16 is probably very different from how he is experiencing it now at 28: Legendary player Rekkles could become world champion in LoL in 2024, but in a different way than he imagined

In Throne and Liberty, a player sold an item for the equivalent of 650 euros, but the community mocks him.

In Throne and Liberty, a player sold a rare item for 40,000 Luzent, which is equivalent to about 650 Euros, and asks what he should do with it. However, instead of advice, he receives quite a bit of mockery for the low price.

Sold too cheaply? In Throne and Liberty, there are many currencies, but the probably most sought-after is Luzent, the real-money currency of the game. Players can spend their hard-earned money to acquire Luzent with which they can purchase items in-game. Alternatively, it is also possible to farm Luzent free-to-play.

One player was particularly successful, as he obtained a rare item and subsequently sold it in the Throne and Liberty auction house for 40,000 Luzent, which is roughly around 650 Euros. On Reddit, he asked how he could use his newfound fortune to become stronger in the game. However, instead of receiving helpful tips, he ignited a discussion about whether he sold the item too cheaply.

Whether there is really that much pay-to-win in Throne and Liberty, you can see here:

Start video
Is the new MMORPG Throne and Liberty Pay2Win?

“40k Luzent? You could have sold it for 100k!”

Why is the item so expensive? In Throne and Liberty, you often have to rely heavily on your luck, as the items that enhance the character have only a very small chance of dropping. This means that you need to defeat many monsters, world bosses, and dungeons to acquire a rare item. Some items can also be crafted with essences; however, farming takes a long time.

Even rarer are the items that drop from weekly world bosses. This includes the world boss Queen Bellandir. She appears in the game only once a week and can drop very powerful items. The probability of receiving an item increases the more damage your group inflicts on the world boss. Thus, it is extremely difficult to acquire such an item.

A lucky player managed to snag the crossbow from Queen Bellandir and immediately put it up for sale in the Throne and Liberty auction house. According to the seller, it only took five seconds to get rid of the item and make him considerably richer.

He then sought advice on Reddit about what to do with his fortune to improve his character. 40,000 Luzent would be approximately 650 Euros, and thus a substantial amount. However, with his post, he inadvertently sparked a discussion about whether he sold the item too cheaply:

  • CryoSaucu can hardly believe it (via Reddit): “40k Luzent? My brother, you could have sold it for 100k.”
  • Lohkar_ thinks the item was almost a gift (via Reddit): “You should have doubled the price you got. Selling it for 40k is a bargain.”
  • Bulaba0 finds the price too low (via Reddit): “Thank you for being so generous and brightening someone’s day. Someone got a crossbow for only 40,000 Luzent!”
  • Vediici is upset about the comments (via Reddit): “You do realize that there are different servers, just because the item is at 200k on your server doesn’t mean every region or server has that price.”
  • FantasticCollar7026 seems to have clarity (via Reddit): “Anyone who berates the guy for selling it for 40k obviously has no idea how the auction house works.”

Some players may not have considered that prices can vary greatly between different regions, and ultimately, it is the sale price that counts. Just because some players demand exorbitant amounts does not mean that other players are willing to pay that much.

Survey shows: If you play at least 5 hours a week, your brain is 14 years younger

Being a gamer has its advantages, as a study from Canada now wants to demonstrate. Those who play at least 5 hours a week have a much younger brain than average.

What kind of study is this? Western University based in Canada examined 2,000 participants and gained interesting insights. Those who play video games perform better in tests, and those who spend a lot of time on video games perform even better.

Those who believed until now that video games make you stupid now receive the counter-evidence.

Older people are also exposed to toxic behavior on the internet:

What did the study find? The “Brain and Body” study (via Creyos.com) from the university surveyed 2,000 participants from around the world. It was also recorded whether people play video games and how many hours per week.

After the questionnaires, participants were asked to play brain games. The brain games were designed to test attention span, memory, logical thinking, and language skills. The researchers then compared the results with the questionnaires.

It turned out that people who play at least 5 hours a week of a single type of video game tend to have cognitive abilities that correspond to those of individuals 13.7 years younger.

Those who play video games but spend less than 5 hours a week on a single type still have an advantage. Their cognitive abilities are said to correspond to those of individuals 5.2 years younger.

Do video games also have an impact on mental health? Although video games are said to be good for brain performance, the study could not establish a connection with mental health. Video games seem to neither positively nor negatively affect mental health.

In contrast, the situation is different for sports. The study notes that sports are good for health, but do not improve cognitive health.

If you want to do something good for your body, you should play video games and exercise. According to the study, people who engage in 150 minutes of exercise per week already have an advantage. Even e-sports players often engage in sports outside of their computers as a balance: This is how hard a Counter-Strike 2 pro trains to become the best of all

Throne and Liberty: Leveling and Resetting Weapon Mastery

In Throne and Liberty you can level up and reset your Weapon Mastery. How to earn points and how to spend them is revealed by MeinMMO.

Weapon Mastery Points: In Throne and Liberty, there are active and passive skills with which you can equip yourself. Additionally, there is Weapon Mastery, which consists of further passive values and bonuses that work in the background to give you various status effects.

You level up Weapon Mastery best by defeating monsters in open-world dungeons. However, there are other ways to earn points for Weapon Mastery. Additionally, you can reset them at any time for a certain amount of Sollant. MeinMMO has all the details for you.

Dive into the world of the new MMORPG Throne and Liberty:

Throne and Liberty: Weapon Mastery

What is Weapon Mastery? Weapon Mastery is a hidden skill tree that allows you to unlock additional passive effects for your weapons. Each weapon has three paths that can be leveled up. Each path offers nine passive effects with different enhancements, such as more hit points, increased healing, or additional damage.

Currently, Weapon Mastery has a maximum level of 16, which means you cannot level all paths equally high. Therefore, you have to decide which path you want to complete and which one you only want to start. Depending on class and playstyle, this can vary greatly and differs with each build.

To access the overview of Weapon Mastery, you need to pay attention to the following:

  • Step 1: Open the menu
  • Step 2: Go to abilities
  • Step 3: Click on the bar of the respective Weapon Mastery located between the active and passive abilities
Weapon Mastery is located between the active and passive abilities
Weapon Mastery is located between the active and passive abilities

Leveling Weapon Mastery

In the Weapon Mastery menu, you can see in the upper right corner of the screen how many mastery points you currently have available for distribution. With these points, you can upgrade the individual effects.

There are various ways to collect points for Weapon Mastery in Throne and Liberty. We will introduce you to all methods and explain what to consider.

Open-World Dungeons

Open-world dungeons are an effective way to collect Weapon Mastery points. Equip the two weapons you want to level up and fight the monsters in the dungeon. You not only earn many useful items, but also level up your mastery.

However, at night, open-world dungeons turn into PvP zones, so be aware of the current time of day if you don’t want to be eliminated by other players. Conflict zones are indicated by two small crossed red swords on the dungeon symbol on the map. Additionally, you can read the current time of day in the game at the bottom right of the map.

Warning: The active weapon receives double the points compared to your passive weapon. So keep an eye on which weapon you have in the first slot.

Additionally, you only earn items and points if you have Abyssal Contract Marks. If these are empty, you will not receive rewards or experience points.

Daily Tasks

In the daily tasks that you can accept from “contract managers” in nearly every town, you can also receive training dew as a reward. After completing the missions, the loot is transferred to your inventory, including the training dew. Using this will increase the mastery of the currently equipped weapon.

If you have not equipped a weapon or have reached the maximum level of Weapon Mastery (currently level 16) for this weapon, you cannot use the training dew.

Warning: The training dew only lasts 24 hours in your bag and then disappears. So it’s best to use it right after receiving it.

Co-op Dungeons

In co-op dungeons, you also receive training dew as a reward after successfully opening the boss chest. However, to open it, you need to spend Dimensions Contract Marks. If you run out of these, you will have no chance of getting the contents of the chest.

Note: Currently, it is advisable to use the random co-op dungeon search, as you receive an extra reward when opening the boss chest there. However, in the random search, you can only take one friend with you.

Resetting Weapon Mastery

You can reset your Weapon Mastery at any time if you prefer to level a different path. To do this, hover over the last passive of the respective mastery path, and a small arrow will appear. If you click on it, you will then be asked if you want to deactivate the selected effect. This will cost you some Sollant.

You can reset the levels with the small arrow
You can reset the levels with the small arrow

If you want to undo an entire path, you need to deactivate each individual passive and pay Sollant each time for it. So it is possible at any time, but it will cost you a high sum of Sollant. Therefore, think carefully in advance about which effects you need and which path you want to improve accordingly.

In CoD Black Ops 6 there was a race to become the first Prestige Master – But the true winner was not invited

Just under a week after the release of Black Ops 6, the first players have reached Prestige Master, but Activision apparently did not crown the fastest team as the winner of the official race.

What kind of race was that? In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 there was the so-called “Race to Prestige”. This was a race that was streamed live on Twitch, in which the participating teams tried to be the first to reach the rank of Prestige Master. Thus, the race was tied to the level system of Black Ops 6.

To achieve this, players from the participating teams took turns for days, continuously playing the latest Call of Duty. However, when the winner was crowned, there was criticism from the community: Activision crowned a winner, but the fastest team was not invited to the race and consequently received no prize despite their success.

The fastest team, but not the winner

What is the story behind the “real winner”? On October 31, the race ended and Activision officially announced the winner: “Pits Team”. In second and third place were “Doom” and “Hard Stuck Iridescent”.

The Call of Duty community, however, was not satisfied with the winner, as there was apparently a team that was faster: the team of the French Twitch streamer Punkill. This team claimed to be two levels ahead of the winners “Pits Team” at the end of the race (via X.com).

However, Punkill’s team was not invited by Activision to the “Race to Prestige” and thus did not qualify for the official ranking.

The team of the esports organization OpTic, which included CoD legend Scump, also did not participate in the official race, but celebrated reaching Prestige Master shortly before the announcement of the winner (via X.com).

How do you become a Prestige Master? In Black Ops 6, you can climb 55 levels and unlock various weapons and equipment along the way. After these 55 levels, you can transition into the rank of “Prestige 1”. However, once you are Prestige 1, your level resets and you must unlock the weapons you earned again.

In Prestige 1, you can then complete another 55 levels and subsequently achieve “Prestige 2”. This resets your progress once again. This principle can be repeated multiple times. There are a total of 10 Prestige levels. After level 10, you reach the rank of Prestige Master. By that time, you must have earned over 500 levels.

Players believe that the moon tells them when new information about GTA 6 will be released

The community seems to know when new information about GTA 6 will be announced. The date in question is said to be provided by the moon.

There are probably few titles that millions of players are as eagerly anticipating as the latest installment of the GTA series. When exactly the game will be released is still unknown. Only the period of autumn 2025 has been announced so far.

A player in the community is now sharing his assumption about when new information about the game will be released. The clue to the date is said to come from the moon.

Rockstar Games shows GTA 6 for the first time in the trailer

Compare moon phases, recognize dates

What does the player suspect? Rockstar Games, the developer of GTA, recently published a new post on X. Although this is about information on GTA Online and not about GTA 6, the player suspects that there is a hidden hint using the moon in the picture.

As he shows in his post on Reddit, there was a similar post last year that featured a moon. By comparing this moon with the upcoming phases of the moon in real life, one could read the date December 1, 2023.

On this day, Rockstar Games ultimately released the announcement for the first trailer of GTA 6.

The player suspects that Rockstar Games is also taking this approach in the current post and wants to hint at when new information about GTA 6 will be available again. If the player is correct with his theory, it could be the case on November 22, 2024.

What does the community say about this? The theory presented by the player in the post is seen by many commentators as likely and realistic. However, there are also voices not completely convinced by the theory as presented. Some of the comments include:

  • The moon is prominently visible in both pictures. The theory is plausible., writes SomeChunkyMilk
  • Okay, I actually believe this, especially since the moon is unusually large in both pictures., also says iSvad
  • Wait a minute. So I’m supposed to believe that a post from the end of September 2023 points to a trailer release in December, just two months later… and this one will magically appear in the same month? Why shouldn’t it be the same moon phase, just in January?, notes SliceOfTy

By the way, the announcement of GTA 6 was already spoiled in advance by a journalist who got his information from a major data leak. This caused so much frustration for Rockstar that they considered delaying their own announcement: The head of Rockstar was so annoyed by insider reports and leaks that he wanted to throw all plans for GTA 6 out the window..

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, you are only allowed to have 60 cards in your deck because a German player went overboard

Since 2008, the card game of the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! has had a rule that a maximum of 60 cards may be included in one’s own deck. A German player had gone completely overboard in 2007, prompting Konami to adjust the rules.

What happened? At the official national Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament held in Hannover in 2007, Maik S. participated with his deck. However, it was not the usual deck size used at such a tournament: Maik came with a total of 2,222 cards in his deck.

A photo shows him and his buddy, Tobias H., carrying the cards in a gigantic acrylic box to the tournament:

Was that allowed? In 2007, there was only the rule that at least 40 cards must be shuffled into the deck. There was no maximum limit at that time. Therefore, Maik was allowed to participate with his deck of 2,222 cards.

Maik ruthlessly exploited a gap in the rules. And Konami learned from this: Since 2008, there has been a rule that a maximum of 60 cards may be included in the deck.

Yu-Gi-Oh! – Official trailer for The Dark Side of Dimensions (2017)

Maik reveals the reason why he participated with a gigantic deck at the Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament

Why did he do that? On YouTube, Maik explains that he found the idea funny. With the gigantic card set, he wanted to make others laugh.

To perfect the joke, Maik included numerous cards in his deck that required him to search for additional cards from his deck. You can imagine that it takes a perceived eternity to find a specific card in this gigantic deck.

However, cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! that allow other cards to be searched from the deck require the deck to be reshuffled afterward. So Maik invested even more time in reshuffling his deck.

Did he win the tournament? Maik played a card that required him to reshuffle the deck. The shuffling took too much time, causing him to lose the match. After the second game, he was disqualified.

This proved that the real rules are different from those in the anime. There, a deck of 2,222 cards would have been unthinkable. By the way, there was another change in the German version of the anime that differs from the original: Yu-Gi-Oh! is actually much more brutal than you saw in the German TV version

These 3 games wanted gamers to see them fail before release – Here’s how they are doing now

Gamers love to passionately discuss their hobby, often even before a game is released. It’s not uncommon for opinions to solidify prior to release regarding how good or bad something will be – and whether a new idea should even succeed. Recently, there was such a discussion about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but this is far from the only game.

In recent years, various studios have repeatedly attempted to try something new and to move away from the formula and the type of game that made the studio famous:

  • The role-playing giant BioWare, for instance, wanted to develop a multiplayer shooter with Anthem, which did not go particularly well.
  • Bethesda has attempted twice to transform well-known role-playing series into an MMO or MMORPG.
  • Other studios jump on trends that sound promising, sometimes without understanding where the success of a genre actually comes from – at least according to our author Schuhmann.

Such ideas of moving away from what made the studios great and trying something completely different are not always well received by gamers. Fans of the old games often look enviously at the new releases. Sometimes, the new games are even wished to fail outright. This has happened in the past before.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The latest example is the new Dragon Age. After a 10-year wait, fans finally received a new installment in the series. There were directly two major discussions prior to release:

Until shortly before release, the squabbling about the game continued to escalate. The lines have hardened. Some gamers wished for a game that is so “woke” not to succeed.

This is how The Veilguard is doing now: The new Dragon Age launched with strong reviews on Steam and has attracted over 80,000 players on the platform alone. This includes PS5 and Xbox.

There are certainly games that launched stronger, especially in the AAA area. However, The Veilguard cannot be labeled a total flop.

However, the discussion about the game continues: There is intense debate in the reviews.

Fallout 76

The latest Fallout is actually what fans of the series have been wishing for all along: a real Fallout with integrated multiplayer. Fallout 4 only managed this with mods.

Fallout 76 was still rejected by a large part of the community immediately upon announcement because it is not only “always online”, but also announced as a survival game.

The biggest criticism was that Fallout 76 was supposed to exist completely without NPCs and solo mode – exactly the things that were so important for the story in earlier installments of Fallout. A decision that fans could not understand.

This is how Fallout 76 is doing today: After a disastrous start, Fallout 76 has worked its way up to a stable position in recent years. The ratings have significantly increased and on Steam alone the game has consistently maintained between 7,000 and 8,000 players (via steamcharts).

Bethesda also continuously delivers new updates and expansions with content. The missing NPCs have been in the game for years, the story continues, and even popular factions like the Steel Brotherhood are included. The latest update delivers an endgame dungeon with the “biggest challenge” for players yet.

Diablo Immortal

Hardly any game has received as much hate upon its announcement as Diablo Immortal. While all fans of the series were expecting Diablo 4, Blizzard instead announced a mobile spin-off at BlizzCon 2018.

After the somewhat clumsy response: “Don’t you guys have smartphones?” from chief developer Wyatt Cheng, gamers had nothing good to say about Diablo Immortal until release. The biggest meme regarding the game: “Is this a late April Fools’ joke?”

This is how Diablo Immortal is doing today: Despite significant criticism of monetization, Diablo Immortal is a complete success. The game has numerous pay-to-win mechanics, yet it has generated a tremendous amount of revenue – a good portion of it from German players.

Generally, the game is quite well received among its fans. Aside from the greedy shop, Immortal is a solid Diablo and free for everyone who simply wants to play it. Diablo Immortal has already experienced 32 seasons.

Some other games have not fared as well as the three listed here. The shooter Concord, for example, was also criticized even before it was released. However, Concord was discontinued shortly after its release. And that had even harsher consequences: Sony dealt the maximum penalty, closing the studio that developed one of the biggest flops for PS5

Player takes a big risk: Orders RTX 4090 for 900 euros and hopes that eBay protects him from fraud

A player finds what seems to be a great deal for an RTX 4090 for only 900 euros. He claims he wants to take the risk, but everyone warns him against it. In the end, he at least hopes to get his money back through eBay.

Graphics cards are still generally very expensive. For an RTX 4090, the currently fastest graphics card on the market, you pay at least 1,800 euros or more.

It is not surprising that a player explained on reddit that he wants to take a high risk: He orders an RTX 4090 for only 900 euros. He himself writes about it: ‘I thought I’d take the risk and see if [the deal] is real. Hopefully, eBay protects me!’

The buyer hopes for the eBay buyer protection if something is wrong with the offer. eBay itself states: ‘If something goes wrong, eBay ensures that you get your money back, including shipping costs.’

The reactions from players come promptly: Many warn him against actually using the offer and paying the provider. There are numerous warnings indicating a scam:

  • The price is far too low compared to the market price.
  • The images do not come from the offer but were copied from another offer on eBay. This can be relatively easily found out with a reverse search.

However, the poster dismisses the first warnings and explains: One must take a little risk in life sometimes. But with so many warnings, the user did not expect that.

Player cancels purchase and hopes to get his money back

How did the matter end? The user eventually got cold feet and canceled the order. He reports this in another post. He writes:

I am a total fraud, I am not the risk-taker I thought I was. Reading all these comments and some of the horror stories that people shared about eBay buyer protection, I got cold feet. I requested a cancellation and shared my story with eBay customer service. I have the chat logs and received a case number to track the case.

I knew it was far-fetched and probably a scam, but I thought it was worth a try because eBay protects me. But now that my doubts about eBay buyer protection are growing, I have weakened and decided to try to protect myself by reporting/canceling the offer. Of course, there is no guarantee that I am safe and will get my money back, but I am doing what I can!

Whether the user has received his money back is not known. At least it would be an expensive lesson he would otherwise have to pay for. Because 900 euros is not a small amount of money, for that you could at least buy a PS5 Pro with accessories.

Another player had little luck on eBay: A player buys an Nvidia graphics card for as much as 1,500 euros. But after problems, he suspects the worst. And just in time before his money is gone: Player buys RTX 4090 on eBay with a big discount – realizes just in time that he made a big mistake

YouTube cut off DrDisrespect’s funding after his scandal – But he still earns over $20,000

Herschel “Guy” Beahm, better known as “DrDisrespect”, had a major scandal in 2024 that cost him friends, advertising partners, and revenue from YouTube. However, the former Twitch streamer seems to be able to rely on his viewers.

What is DrDisrespect’s relationship with YouTube? After his permanent ban from Twitch in June 2020, DrDisrespect started streaming on YouTube. Unlike streaming colleagues like Valkyrae and Ludwig, who had lucrative deals with the video platform, he ended up empty-handed: due to his ban, he was available “for free” instead of needing to be purchased at a high price.

As one of the biggest gaming streamers on YouTube, the Doc could at least monetize his channel. However, that also came to an end in 2024: As the reasons for his ban from Twitch became known, the video platform suspended the monetization of his channel: Thus, the streamer can no longer earn money from ads being aired on his channel.

In October, the streamer was able to request a re-examination of his case – but YouTube rejected him. In the meantime, the Doc is relying on the generosity of his fans.

The ban on DrDisrespect was long considered a great mystery.

How does the streamer earn money now? As a result of his scandal, DrDisrespect has lost a large part of his revenue sources: not only did YouTube turn off the money tap for him, but he also lost advertising partners and was kicked out by his own studio.

This leaves the Doc with donations, or “gifts” from his viewers. And it seems that the streamer has maintained his viewers’ loyalty in October. According to data from the site Streamlabs, DrDisrespect received more than $20,000 in donations last month. That’s about 18,000 euros.

The largest donation amounted to $5,000, followed by two donations of $4,000 each, which seem to come from the same user.

As of the current status on November 4, 2024, DrDisrespect has received over $500 in donations from the community this month.

On October 25, the streamer also announced a new merchandise collection (via X). He now has to get by with that until he can appeal again at YouTube in about two months.

DrDisrespect is in a difficult position due to his ban, as it seems that no platform wants to offer him a lucrative deal. After being demonetized on YouTube and a falling out with Kick, the only platform currently in discussion for the Doc is the website Rumble.

Rumble is considered an alternative to YouTube, but with a stronger right-wing political orientation. Similar to Kick, the platform could prove to be a refuge for content creators who are excluded from the “family-friendly” platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. According to the head of the site, Twitch is expected to come to an end soon: Are streaming millionaires about to lose their incomes? Rumble CEO predicts the end of Twitch

In One Piece, Luffy has never met his father, but he is actually a great dad

Ruffy’s father appears only a few times in One Piece. A fan of the anime wondered if Ruffy and his dad ever lived together. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the pirate adventure, has now answered this question.

Who is Ruffy’s father? Ruffy’s father is Monkey D. Dragon. He is the leader of the Revolutionary Army and has little time for Ruffy. His grandfather brought him to Curly Dadan, a female bandit, who raised Ruffy as her foster son.

One Piece Dragon
Monkey D. Dragon is rarely seen.

But even in the moments when Ruffy’s father could have had the chance to greet his son, he stayed in the background. Therefore, one might think that Dragon is a bad father. However, Eiichiro Oda clarifies why he left his son so early and severed the connection with him.

We learn more about the fans of the Straw Hats in the One Piece Fan Letter:

Ruffy and his father had no time together

Why does Ruffy know nothing about his father? A fan was able to ask Oda the question of whether Ruffy and Dragon ever lived together. According to the mangaka, they did not live together at a time that Ruffy can remember. Therefore, his father must have left him early.

As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he could not risk his relationship with Ruffy becoming known. He did not want to put Ruffy in danger and thus left the family. Oda wonders what it must have been like for Dragon to let go of his family and see Ruffy again in Logue Town.

Ruffy and Dragon encountered each other in Logue Town. Ruffy’s dad stayed in the background, probably not wanting his son to be in danger, even though he himself is now a feared pirate.

What do we know so far about Dragon? At this point, we don’t know much about Dragon. Ruffy’s father was once a Marine soldier. However, he could not cope with the ideals of the Marines, which is why he decided to become a member of the Liberty Army and to found the Revolutionary Army.

There are rumors that Dragon has eaten a Devil Fruit that allows him to control the wind. When Ruffy fled Logue Town from Captain Smoker, suddenly a storm arose that helped the Straw Hats escape. However, this information has not yet been confirmed.

Ruffy’s grandfather has quite a lot to offer, too. Despite his age, he is still able to keep up with the younger ones in battle: Ruffy’s grandfather uses one of the most powerful attacks in the One Piece anime, even though he is so old

A player from WoW achieves something that hasn’t happened in years, takes down the current raid boss solo on heroic

Rasha’nan is one of the bosses from the current raid Palace of Nerub’ar from World of Warcraft. Now, a WoW player has actually managed to defeat this villain solo – and on heroic difficulty!

How is this possible? Player Venn has made it his mission to defeat current raid bosses from WoW: The War Within solo with his Blood Death Knight. About two weeks ago, he had already conquered the normal version of Rasha’nan, and now he has tackled the considerably tougher heroic variant of the villain from the Palace of Nerub’ar.

On YouTube, the player explains how his starting situation and strategy for the fight were:

  • The Death Knight has an item level of 632, with 540,816 stamina and 62,095 armor.
  • Thanks to Flask and Rune, he could build almost 20,000 versatility. Additionally, there is 5 percent more damage and healing through the buff “Severed Threads”.
  • His talent and equipment setup focuses entirely on reducing incoming damage.
  • Especially dangerous on Heroic is the Web Breaker, as a solo player can quickly be pulled off the platform by the attack. Venn could only counter this by maintaining as much distance as possible from the boss in time. This way, he landed right next to the boss after being pulled in.
  • For the Web Breaker and other attacks from the boss, Venn urgently needed defensive cooldowns. Having these available at the right moment was crucial for survival.
  • As soon as the boss enters enrage, he uses his attacks more frequently, and dangerous debuffs last significantly longer. Without an Anti-Magic Shell at the right time, it would not have been possible to survive certain phases.

It took Venn about 50 attempts to successfully implement his strategy. The kill attempt lasted almost an hour and can also be found on YouTube.

Historic Success

What makes this success so special? According to icy-veins.com, it has been about seven years since a player managed to defeat a raid boss of the current tier level on heroic difficulty. During the Legion expansion, this feat was accomplished by the WoW legend Rextroy on several bosses.

Rextroy is one of the most well-known players from World of Warcraft:

How does the community react to this achievement? On Reddit, the related post received over 950 upvotes.

  • Starym praises on Reddit: “Some really impressive moves by Venn, as he explains everything in a video and also shows the entire kill. Of course, he plays a Blood DK.”
  • isospeedrix is excited (via Reddit): “I can’t even solo a boss from the previous expansion, and this guy manages it with current content.”
  • WoWSecretsYT writes on Reddit: “This is really impressive. Well done, Venn!”
  • Aedzy reminds of Rextroy (via Reddit): “Wait a couple of weeks and we’ll have Rextroy beating bosses with a never before seen use of toys and items.”

In response to the last post, Venn reveals that Rextroy had been his inspiration for his solo raid runs. By the way: Rextroy is also back in World of Warcraft after a long break. He made his comeback in August 2024 with a bang: Notorious WoW player returns after a year-long break, one-shots raid bosses with 300 million damage.

The head of Rockstar was so annoyed by insider reports and leaks that he wanted to scrap all plans for GTA 6

GTA 6 had to take a deep blow at the end of 2023: There was a huge data leak that revealed a lot about the game. An insider at Rockstar Games claims that the head nearly postponed the reveal out of frustration.

For years, Rockstar Games and Take Two remained silent about GTA 6. This has led to much speculation surrounding the highly anticipated video game.

On November 7, 2023, the planned announcement of GTA 6 was taken away from Rockstar Games. Journalist Jason Schreier from Bloomberg magazine revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that Rockstar plans to announce GTA 6 soon and wants to release a trailer in December.

You can watch the first trailer for GTA 6 here:

Delay to “annoy” a journalist

Sam Houser, co-founder of Grand Theft Auto, actually wanted to be the first to announce the game. He was so upset about the previous leak that he seriously considered postponing the announcement.

Data analyst Tez2 said: “I remember that [Sam Houser] wanted to postpone the announcement in November by a week just to annoy Schreier, but he was dissuaded from that.” (via Dexerto)

Whether Tez2 is telling the truth cannot be fully verified.

Shortly after, the trailer itself was also leaked, forcing Rockstar Games to bring forward the reveal of the trailer to avoid falling behind. Since that trailer in December 2023, there has been no new information, except that the game is set to be released in 2025.

How does the community react? On reddit, Tez2’s information was posted. The comments believe what is described and understand Sam Houser’s reaction:

  • RedAfroUchiha: “Sounds typical for Sam Houser lol.”
  • Onaip314: “Yeah, it must be annoying when everything is spoiled by people on the internet. I would bet this is true. Sam going completely crazy in his office, lmao”
  • gerhudire: “If I were Sam Houser and it was about the second trailer, I would intentionally leak false information to Jason Schreier just to see if he publishes it.”

What is the consequence of the leaks? Since players haven’t received news otherwise, such as in the form of screenshots, they are dissecting every frame of the trailer, and the pressure on Rockstar is increasing immeasurably. Earlier, a GTA launch seemed much more relaxed.

The anticipation for the sixth installment of the “Grand Theft Auto” series is immense. Fans are already thoroughly engaging with everything known about the game. The map has already been reconstructed and analyzed: GTA 6 fans are reconstructing the game’s map, discovering a location that would be perfect for the online mode
