New World: The ‘PC Elite’ Misbehaves, Welcomes Console Newcomers with Toxic Behavior

Recently, you can experience New World not only on PC but also on PS5 and Xbox Series. Some veterans seem to take this as a reason to bash console players in the chat.

What is the current mood in New World? Basically, it’s quite good. Many players are currently having fun with the new Aeternum version. The well-visited crossplay servers also promote the MMO feeling. You encounter other player characters everywhere. The proverbial bear is dancing in the chat.

However, this also leads to bad moods at the moment. The tone is quite rough at times. I myself have already

  • witnessed arguments filled with insults between fans of New World on one side and Throne and Liberty on the other
  • read about a seemingly Italian guild looking for female reinforcements to “abuse”
  • endured inappropriate comments about the latest Asmongold incident
  • and heard all kinds of jabs from the “PC elite” against the new console players

Despite this report, there are good reasons to play New World Aeternum:

Toxic Behavior Towards the Newcomers

What about the console players? Well, they are the “newbies” to whom many of the adjustments of the Aeternum version are owed. Adjustments for areas like the user interface or the settings, which are heavily criticized in the PC community.

Time and again, players read on Steam or Reddit that Amazon Games has forgotten the PC community in Aeternum and is only looking at the consoles, where there is much more money to be made. This seems to motivate part of the PC community to constantly bash console players in the in-game chat of New World.

How does the bashing manifest? In several Reddit threads, players of New World are currently discussing the hatred that console players sometimes face in the chat.

  • MikeBizzleVT writes in his post on Reddit: “90 percent in the global chat is console hate and attempts to troll console players. I have played every major MMO, and this is worse than gold bots. I understand why some of us just want to play on consoles.”
  • Fred_C_1993 explains in his post on Reddit: “I myself am a PC player and have started to report the harassment towards console players or the harassment towards anyone who ‘dares’ to enjoy New World.”
  • AtlasJQ describes his experience on Reddit: “Me and my PS5 buddies switched to Cimmeria last night, after I realized that the only way to find the PS5 server is five menus deep – most people won’t do that. […] We had to turn off the entire chat because the Edgelords were just spamming nonsense and disrupting the mood significantly.”
  • TheCoJoeMan also found the chat unbearable (via Reddit): “I had to mute Global. The sheer brain rot was astounding.”

This was just a small excerpt from hundreds of comments with similar reports and statements.

How can I play on pure console servers? Here’s a reminder for all console players who don’t like crossplay: If you want to play on the servers Mardi (PlayStation only) or Iroko (Xbox only), you must first disable crossplay in the settings. Otherwise, the pure console servers in Europe will not be displayed.

Kevin Costner was replaced in a scene in A Perfect World because the director was impatient

Clint Eastwood can look back on a successful career. The director has not always been considered an easy colleague. Kevin Costner also had to experience this when he worked with him on the set of A Perfect World.

What was the problem? Eastwood expects the actors and crew to be prepared and act exactly when he wants it. He dislikes wasting time and wants to finish film productions as quickly as possible.

Costner also felt Eastwood’s impatience. When the actor was just taking a break in his trailer, Eastwood wanted to shoot a scene. Costner replied that he was not ready yet and the director would have to wait.

That did not suit Eastwood at all, which is why he called Costner’s counterpart, another extra, to him. He put on the shirt from Costner’s role and shot the scene. To make it less noticeable that it was not Costner, the camera was directed so closely at him that he became blurry.

An excellent film for which Eastwood was responsible is Unforgiven:

Costner and Eastwood had a dispute

How did the situation end? Costner found out about the exchange and there was a verbal fight between the actor and the director. When Eastwood replied that he was being paid to make movies, the conversation was over. 

After A Perfect World, by the way, there was no film where the two stars and multiple Oscar winners worked together again. Whether this has to do with their exchange of words is unclear.

What other quirks does Eastwood have? Eastwood is an impatient director. He is also known for his first takes. The director tries to get the best out of the first take and often settles for that one take, as he revealed in an interview with Esquire:

I try to do whatever is necessary. If a take is great, great. If it’s ten takes, then it must be. But from an artistic point of view, I want to see the person when the situation goes through their brain for the first time, when it goes through their eyes for the first time, and when the words come out of their mouth for the first time. I have seen great actors do amazing things in the first take.

He lets the camera run for as long as the actor is out of character and not until the take is finished. Instead, he lives by the philosophy of just keeping going.

Before his career as a director, Eastwood worked as an actor. Even then, he was picky and turned down some roles: Legendary actor refused to appear in a masterpiece, which proved to be the right decision

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 brings the largest enemy of the game in the next update

The cooperative shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is set to receive a full year of free updates bringing new content. Now, the game’s developers have showcased what these updates will bring in a video.

What kind of content is coming? Saber Interactive has announced a range of new content for Space Marine 2 for the coming year, including a Season Pass that lets you don the armor of a legendary Space Marine legion.

In the next update, the cooperative shooter is also set to receive a new PvE operation where you must fight the largest and most terrifying Tyranid yet: the Hierophant Bio-Titan. Additionally, a new difficulty level will present an even greater challenge.

Overall, various new weapons, missions, enemies, PvP expansions, and a horde mode are expected in the coming months. One of the new weapons will be the “Neo-Volkite Pistol,” described as a thermal pistol.

Here you can see the trailer for the new content:

The First Legion of Space Marines

What is this legendary legion? The Season Pass brings various content themed around the “Dark Angels” – including armor pieces, weapon styles, and color schemes.

The Dark Angels are legendary in the Warhammer 40,000 universe because they were the first legion of Space Marines created by the Emperor. They include well-known figures such as Primarch Lion El’Jonson and Commander Azrael.

Unlike the Ultramarines, the armor of the Dark Angels is not characterized by a blue hue, but is primarily depicted in a dark green in Space Marine 2.

In the lore of Warhammer 40,000, there are numerous legendary units and individuals, not just the Dark Angels. The so-called Deathwatch, to which Lieutenant Demetrian Titus also belonged, holds a special status as it is not a normal chapter of Space Marines. You can learn more about it on MeinMMO: Warhammer 40,000: Everyone respects the “Deathwatch” in Space Marine 2 – and there’s a good reason for that

An anime adaptation by the creators of The Matrix cost 120 million dollars – The film flopped but became a cult movie

The Matrix trilogy is one of the most well-known science fiction series in film history. Directed and written by the Wachowski siblings, they even adapted an anime in 2008, but it was a big flop. Nowadays, fans see the film as an underrated gem.

Which film is it about? After the Matrix trilogy, Speed Racer was released in 2008. It is an anime adaptation of the eponymous anime and manga. The anime aired from 1967 to 1968. At its core, it revolves around futuristic car races. Besides the races, the protagonists fight villains.

The film by the Matrix creators was thus a live-action adaptation of the anime and manga. Despite a fairly high budget of 120 million dollars, the film flopped. Looking at the numbers on Box Office Mojo, the film only grossed just under 94 million dollars worldwide.

Variety even estimates the budget at 200 million dollars, due to extremely high marketing costs with brands like McDonald’s.

But all that marketing didn’t help the film, and critics were not convinced either. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film only has a critic score of 42 %, based on 218 reviews.

You can see a trailer here:

Start video
Speed Racer – Trailer for the Sci-Fi Film by the Creators of The Matrix

Bad timing and too much money

Why did the film flop? As Variety wrote, the film was really expensive. Accordingly, the fall height is also high. At the same time, Speed Racer is not a huge franchise. It is not at the level of a Dragon Ball.

The target audience was also a problem for the budget. It was a film for children. Speed Racer is colorful, loud, and has an unusual look that mixes animation elements with live action. It was too niche.

In the same month, major franchise films were released that stole the show. Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian are bigger names with established worlds and characters that also premiered in May of the same year (via movieinsider.com).

Then in early June, Kung Fu Panda was released. A film that was interesting for a broader child and family audience.

The name Wachowski was previously associated only with films like Matrix and V for Vendetta. These are names that do not work for a children’s film like Speed Racer.

Speed Racer became a cult film among fans

Speed Racer still has many fans. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has over 250,000 user reviews and holds a score of 60%. Also on reddit, the film is loved by many, as a thread in the /movies subreddit shows.

Fans of the film praise on both platforms that it is simply visually fun. Although the film may be childish at times, for many that contributes to the positive experience. The action and dynamic editing are also positive aspects for many fans.

Another science fiction film was supposed to become a big franchise, but that didn’t work out: A sci-fi film with huge monsters grossed 290 million US dollars, yet there will never be a sequel

Dead by Daylight: Some Killers Never Make it to the Best Mode – The Reason is Ridiculous

The popular game mode 2vs8 in Dead by Daylight will return soon. But some killers will probably never be there. The reason seems quite silly.

A few weeks ago, when Dead by Daylight launched the “2vs8” game mode, it opened up entirely new possibilities for many players. Finally, you could go out as a killer duo and devise plans together while ambushing the survivors.

However, only a handful of killers were playable, with the prospect of more to follow. Now, one of the game’s directors has commented and clarified: Some of the licensed killers will probably not make it into the game mode.

This was the trailer for the first version of the game mode:

Start video
Dead by Daylight: 2v8 – The new game mode causes chaos

This is the current status: In Dead by Daylight, the second round of the “2vs8” game mode is coming in early November. There are significant changes; the killers will also have classes – just like the survivors. In addition, three more killers will be added to the game mode:

  • Spirit
  • Blight
  • Gunslinger

As with last time, this version is rather a test run and should serve as the basis for what is planned for the mode in the future.

Licensed killers are a problem for a DbD mode

What was said about licensed killers? In an interview with the YouTube channel Slasher Radio, Game Director Mathieu Cote spoke about why licensed killers pose difficulties for the new game mode. Apparently, the developers cannot simply transfer the characters to other game modes. He said:

You can play as the Xenomorph and chase Ash Williams in the house where Michael Myers grew up, but letting Nemesis and Chucky walk around on the same map is a bigger leap. For us, it doesn’t matter if we have Spirit next to the Trapper, but for the license holders, that’s a conversation we have to have.

Since the license holders determine how their characters – and especially in what context – are portrayed, this needs to be checked for a new game mode. For example, someone who wants their killer to be portrayed as a lone wolf in every medium may have a problem if that character suddenly teams up with someone.

Therefore, from Cote’s perspective, it makes sense that the license holders have the right to say: “No, that’s too much, and I’m not interested in having my intellectual property represented in this way.”

Dead by Daylight Pig Amanda SAW Killer title
Whether killers like Pig will ever be playable in 2vs8 is still up in the air.

Which killers are licensed? All killers not created by Dead by Daylight but previously known from other franchises are considered “licensed.” Currently, this includes the following killers:

  • Shape (Michael Myers – Halloween)
  • Cannibal (Leatherface – Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
  • Nightmare (Freddy Krueger – A Nightmare on Elm Street)
  • Pig (Amanda Young – SAW)
  • Ghost Face
  • Demogorgon (Stranger Things)
  • Executioner (Pyramid Head – Silent Hill)
  • Nemesis (Resident Evil)
  • Cenobite (Hellraiser)
  • Mastermind (Albert Wesker – Resident Evil)
  • Xenomorph (Alien)
  • The Good Guy (Chucky)
  • Lich (Vecna – Dungeons & Dragons)
  • Dark Lord (Dracula – Castlevania)
  • Onryo (Ringu)

So don’t expect these killers to be playable in the “2vs8” mode anytime soon.

Is that completely excluded? No, it is not. Cote explained that “some are fine with it and are even looking forward to their characters being integrated into something we think is one of the biggest things in Dead by Daylight that we’ve ever done.”

However, Cote could not yet answer which killers are potential candidates for that. Typically, such discussions only happen after negotiations with the license holders have already taken place. If you still do not know which killer you should learn for the game mode, we have here all killers and who is the best for you.

Steam: In the survival shooter DayZ, the cold is now your deadliest enemy

With a new expansion, the survival shooter DayZ on Steam aims to make survival even harder for you. You will no longer have to contend only with other humans and zombies, but also with the weather.

What is it about? It is about Frostline, a new expansion for the survival shooter DayZ on Steam. This includes a fresh map that brings new wildlife as well as some new and revised mechanics to the game. 

Some of the contents are shown by the developers in an atmospheric trailer:

Start video
DayZ Frostline: Release trailer for the new expansion of the survival shooter on Steam

What does the trailer show? The new map is a volcanic archipelago, which you can now also navigate with a rubber boat. The land is characterized by snowy pine forests and barren tundra. Here you will also find old settlements, research stations, and airfields.

The eternal winter looks nice, but it also means that you have to survive under difficult conditions. The cold climate of the region is as dangerous for unprepared players as roaming wolves and zombies.

Fighting against the cold and other innovations

What are the new mechanics? To survive on Sakhal, the new map, you need to dress warmly – and not just in a figurative sense. How exposed you are to the cold depends on your clothing. A fireplace in your shelter is also good to thaw out after a trip.

What goes on your plate, you will mostly have to hunt or fish yourself. To this end, the developers at Bohemia Interactive have revised the existing fishing mechanics. Additionally, three new animals are being added to the archipelago: rabbits, reindeer, and foxes. However, beware of the diseases that Frostline has in store for you.

When is the expansion coming out? DayZ Frostline was already released on October 15, 2024, on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The expansion is priced at €26.99, but on Steam, it is available for just €24.29 until October 29.

As one of the best survival games worth playing in 2024, DayZ has made it onto the top list of MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus. You can find out what other games appear there here: The 28 best survival games 2024 for PS5, Steam, and Xbox

Henry Cavill auditioned for James Bond 19 years ago, but there was a crucial problem

Henry Cavill has already starred in many successful movies and portrayed well-known characters. However, one has been denied to him.

Henry Cavill has landed some big and significant roles. Throughout his career so far, he has portrayed Superman, been part of Mission Impossible, and won the hearts of gaming fans as Geralt of Rivia.

However, there is still a role that Cavill has not yet been allowed to play, and he remains interested in it after many years.

Henry Cavill has now given up the role of the Witcher – see here the trailer for the fourth season with Liam Hemsworth, which received a lukewarm reception from fans:

Start video
The Witcher: New teaser for season 4 shows Liam Hemsworth as Geralt for the first time

In the service of Her Majesty

Which character is it about? Cavill is British and interested in action-packed films, and at the same time, he can appear elegantly and charmingly. Wouldn’t he be perfect for James Bond because of that?

That’s pretty much what the actor thought about 19 years ago when a new actor was being sought for the legendary agent. Cavill wanted to play the role desperately and went to an audition.

There he met director Martin Campbell, who was to direct Casino Royale. The actor was to play a scene from one of the old movies with Sean Connery. Only dressed in a towel, he was to step out of the bathroom. Cavill recounts this casting to MensHealth:

I remember how the director, Martin Campbell, said: “Looks a bit chubby there, Henry.” I didn’t know how to train or diet. And I’m glad Martin said something because I respond well to the truth. It helps me get better.

Henry Cavill via MensHealth

Cavill was rejected, among other reasons, due to his physical condition. Instead, Daniel Craig got the role and initially caused quite a stir. After all, he was blonde and did not fit the classic image of Bond.

Cavill fits that description more closely, and to this day he dreams of playing the role after all. He has since shown his physical fitness. If he were given the chance to embody 007, the actor would not have to think twice.

Will Cavill get the role? Daniel Craig has finished as Bond, and it is still unknown who will play the character next. However, it is rather unlikely that Henry Cavill will receive the offer. On one hand, at 41 years old he is a bit too old – he would have to play the role for several years, maybe even decades.

On the other hand, he is a very popular actor and has already portrayed cinema icons such as Superman. Traditionally, those responsible for the Bond films do not go for actors that everyone already knows and loves. Currently, the actor is very busy again: Henry Cavill is not only doing Warhammer 40k – he is now also shooting a film for another nerd project

A developer from Bethesda says: A release without bugs is impossible

The games from Bethesda, such as parts of The Elder Scrolls series or more recently Starfield, are known for not being fully optimized when they are released. An employee of the studio now explains why this is the case.

Which developer are we talking about? Bruce Nesmith has been involved in key positions with some of Bethesda’s biggest titles. He made significant contributions, especially to The Elder Scrolls. He worked as a designer on Daggerfall and created quests for Oblivion, and even took on the role of lead designer for Skyrim.

Nesmith is well-versed in the processes during the development of such a large and complex game. Therefore, he knows what pitfalls can occur before release. According to him, even the games he was involved in are far from perfect—especially at their launch.

On September 30, 2024, the “Shattered Space” expansion for Starfield was released and is considered by some to be the best DLC from Bethesda. Here is the trailer.

Start video
Starfield Reveals Its First Story Expansion Shattered Space in Launch Trailer

More refinement would be possible

What does Bruce Nesmith say? In an interview with Videogamer, he talks about the final phase of development when the actual game is complete, but quality tests are still being conducted. These are supposed to ensure that a title like Starfield is as bug-free as possible upon release – even though the studio’s history suggested otherwise.

“I am the first to say that Bethesda’s games could be more polished,” Nesmith says in the interview. Even at launch, there are still bugs that trigger frustration in the community. However, Nesmith also explains that Bethesda’s games are so extensive that one could “forgive a certain lack of refinement.”

Why are the games not perfect? While more time and money could be invested to fix existing issues, complete perfection does not exist, according to Nesmith. The games would only become “better,” but not flawless. Furthermore, a release would have to be postponed by months. Whether that would be worth it is questionable.

According to the developer, fan expectations are anyway impossible to meet:

Players expect the game to be flawless and not have any bugs. That is their expectation. You don’t have to like it, but it’s there. And you won’t achieve it. So what marketing has to do is say how we can get as close to that expectation as possible. How can we ensure that these people don’t hate us for what is wrong, but love us for what is right?

Bruce Nesmith via Videogamer

For these reasons, a game ultimately appears with some bugs. Whether players truly forgive developers varies from case to case. While some bugs create funny moments in the game, others can lead to bigger problems. The former marketing chief of Bethesda, Pete Hines, has his own opinion on this topic: he explains why bugs are part of Starfield: one “accepts the chaos”

11. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Start video
Englischer Trailer zu „Phantastische Tierwesen 3: Dumbledores Geheimnisse“

Release: 2022

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore has a significant problem: it tries to tell too much, which makes the fundamental idea from the first part fade away. Many of the personal stories feel inorganic, and overall the film feels like a prequel to Dumbledore, who is not the protagonist.

The film also has good aspects: Mads Mikkelsen as the calm Grindelwald with a threatening presence was very pleasing to me, and his relationship with Dumbledore could have made for an interesting story. Nevertheless, it is the worst film in the Harry Potter universe.

10. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Start video
The fight against Grindelwald begins in ‘Fantastic Beasts 2’

Release: 2018

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald falls into similar traps as the third part, but the ideas work better here. The threat from Grindelwald’s people to ordinary people feels more tangible, and Newt appears here less like a side character with too much screen time.

Unlike in the third part, Queenie’s development seems more credible here.

9. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Start video

The first part of the Fantastic Beasts series is also the best, as the titular creatures get ample screen time here. The first film is the only one in the trilogy that manages to exude a certain magic.

Getting to know the beasts is the highlight of the film and works best. The jokes are fun, Newt is sympathetic in his unusual way, and especially with Jacob, he makes a refreshing combination.

“Did you use a Fortnite hack?” – Player receives dozens of emails claiming he is selling stuff on Steam, although he has never used the feature

A player complains on Steam that he is receiving strange emails because he sells stuff on the platform. He already suspects the worst, and the community confirms: His account has been hacked.

What is the problem of the player? A player reached out to the community on Reddit explaining that his Steam account is doing weird things: His account is creating listings on the community market and selling items.

He himself asks, slightly surprised, on Reddit:

Was I hacked? I have never created a listing on Steam in my life. Suddenly, I receive a bunch of emails saying that I’ve sold stuff.

A user asks Valve if he can bequeath his many games on Steam – they reply

Cheats and hacks are often gateways for fraudsters

How was the player hacked? It is not clear how exactly the user got the malware. Some users speculate that he downloaded a “Fortnite hack” from GitHub. Someone asks:

That’s a pretty good sign [for a hack]. Have you tried any Fortnite hacks from GitHub recently?

These would typically not work, but would effectively contaminate his PC with malware and harvest his data. That would then be his own bad luck, some players explain amusedly. Whether the user Camelgamer is really a cheater is not known. The affected gamer adds that he does not use Steam very often and has also not used the market so far. Therefore, he does not really care about the trading cards, just that there might be malware on his computer:

I don’t use Steam often and have no idea how the Steam market works. I wanted to make sure it’s a hack or that items are automatically listed for sale when they just sit there collecting dust. I don’t care about the trading cards; I just worry about what the malware could do.

Can one protect against this? Yes, Steam already offers some security features. The 2-factor authentication is strongly recommended by Steam. Valve believes it’s so safe that Steam boss Newell revealed his login credentials to show how well it works. Some players also point out that 2FA should be mandatory for all online services. Someone says:

Honestly, I don’t understand how we’re in 2024 and 2FA/MFA isn’t a requirement for every type of online account or at least enabled by default. Passwords are not nearly as secure as the general public thinks. There are thousands, if not more, publicly available databases with legitimate passwords all over the web. (…) 2FA and MFA are essential.

Hackers are targeting fraudsters: The scheme of supplying cheaters and fraudsters with malware is known. Viruses have been deliberately distributed to hackers in Call of Duty. The willing fraudsters then unknowingly and voluntarily install the viruses on their machines because they hope to cheat with the software.

Other players have little to no sympathy towards those who cheat. Many explain that in the end, justice prevails when fraudsters are infected with viruses.

Just recently, a cheat manufacturer received a wake-up call. One of the biggest providers, “AimJunkies,” was sued by Bungie, the studio behind the Destiny series, and tried to fight against a million-dollar judgment. However, the cheat provider has now failed: Bungie wins in court against cheat manufacturers – receives as much money as if they had sold Destiny 2 79,621 times

Players criticize the only new mechanic in Diablo 4 Season 6, Blizzard responds with improvements

Season 6 has Diablo 4 greatly revised and made changes to the base game. As a seasonal mechanic, there is a new event, but players find: It looks cool, but it’s boring. Blizzard offers improvements in the new patch.

Update, October 17, 2024: Blizzard has registered player feedback and will implement it with the upcoming patch on October 17. You can now expect the following improvements (via blizzard.com):

– The Realmwalker no longer reduces summons when only one person is following him.
– The maximum allowed simultaneous summons has been increased from 15 to 20.
– The base movement speed of the Realmwalker has been increased by approximately 15%.
– Each time you kill a wave of Bloodbound Guardians, the movement speed of the Realmwalker increases by 10%. Example: If you kill all 3 waves of Bloodbound Guardians, the Realmwalker moves 30% faster (in addition to the base increase of 15%).
– The Realmwalker now has a small chance to summon a treasure goblin.
– The symbol of the Ascending Wrath has been removed from the map. Players now find the Realmwalker via the event symbol.

Generally, the Realmwalker is now supposed to wander the map faster and provide more loot.

On October 8, Season 6 started in Diablo 4. The base game has undergone numerous changes and received new content:

  • A new difficulty system has replaced the often criticized world tiers. The monster levels are now oriented towards this and are no longer displayed.
  • The new max level is level 60, the Paragon points are separate from it, and there are a total of 300.
  • Season 6 introduced a new mechanic to the game, which, however, is not well received by players.

What is this mechanic? The only new seasonal mechanic is the Realmwalker. These are large enemies that spawn on the map every 15 minutes and then wander through the area. Meanwhile, smaller monsters and elite enemies appear.

Lastly, three towers spawn that must be destroyed to make the Realmwalker vulnerable to attack. Upon defeating him, a portal to the “Boiling Realm” opens, where players can choose a reward that they receive at the end of the dungeon. However, many players find this taking too long.

Start video
Diablo 4: Der Gameplay-Trailer zur 6. Season, der Saison des aufsteigenden Hasses

Too slow, too few enemies

What is being criticized? Players are currently discussing the new mechanic and find more criticism than praise. Some are sure: The event needs a rework. The following aspects are criticized:

  • First, you wait for the Realmwalker to come up from the ground – there is a timer for this, so in the meantime, you can at least slash monsters nearby. Or do other, smaller events.
  • After he has spawned, you follow the Realmwalker. This takes a while. He is not attackable during this time; you are just following.
  • Meanwhile, other monsters spawn, but not particularly many. Most of the time, you spend just walking behind or alongside the Realmwalker.

This all takes too long for many players and is not particularly rewarding. While other activities in Diablo 4 are geared towards fast gameplay, the Realmwalker event feels boring, writes Dr0pAdd1ct on Reddit.

Additionally, the “Boiling Ores” that drop as rewards apparently do not work. They are supposed to give a bonus on special loot drops, such as mats, runes, items, or gold. On Reddit, Adventurous-Fly-1669 notes in the comments that they are apparently bugged.

What should be changed? Players have different ideas on how Blizzard could make the event more interesting. The dungeon, or the “Boiling Realm”, is praised by some players, but the path there is annoying. Many want a higher monster density while following the Realmwalker. Correct_Sometimes suggests on Reddit that the Realmwalker should rather be designed like a boss fight, only that a portal spawns after his death.

What does Blizzard say about it? Patch 2.0.3, which is set to be released on October 17, will adjust the Realmwalker. Feedback has reached Blizzard, and the developers will improve the Realmwalker so that he wanders the map faster and sporadically spawns treasure goblins. Additional adjustments will also be made, which we have listed for you in the gray box.
Recently, Blizzard released a hotfix for an important resource in Diablo 4 – the changes brought joy to fans but also criticism.

These 5 Bond Movies You Must Stream Right Now While You Can

In a new video, Marco from Nerdkultur talks about 5 movies that every fan of James Bond and especially film nerds should see. MeinMMO reveals what makes these films special and why now is the best time to catch up on them.

Who is Marco Risch? Marco Risch has been uploading videos with news, reviews, analyses, and interviews about current films, series, and video games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur since 2015. 

In his Podcast Nerd & Kultur, he chats every Sunday with his colleague Yves Arievich about topics such as Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. Together, they are part of the Webedia network, which MeinMMO is also a part of.

In a new video, Marco talks about 5 Bond films that you definitely should see:

These 5 Bond Movies You Must Stream Right Now While You Still Can

Why now? For an entire month, Amazon Prime is offering all films from the main series in the subscription service and in 4K quality. This decision was prompted by the annual James Bond Day, which this year fell exactly 62 years after the release of the first Bond film on October 5, 1962.

62 years of James Bond, 25 films

Here are the 5 Bond films that Marco says you absolutely should not miss:

  • GoldenEye (1995)
  • The Living Daylights (1987)
  • For Your Eyes Only (1981)
  • Thunderball (1965)
  • On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)

Why these films? The main series alone now includes 25 films, in which the secret agent has been portrayed by six different actors. You would therefore be busy for quite some time if you wanted to watch all the films.

So that you don’t miss the best that James Bond has to offer, Marco names five films that you definitely should see. These films represent over 62 years of 007 like few others and are among the most influential Bond films of all time.

These films have not only shaped our current image of James Bond but have also inspired directors beyond this series. For example, Christopher Nolan is a big Bond fan, which is reflected in some of his films. In another video, Marco talks about a Bond film that we must never see.

Many consider a German to be the best SoloQ player in LoL – How does Agurin play?

Who wants to test their skills as a normal player in League of Legends, faces the leaderboard in solo/duo mode, also known as SoloQ. This leads to recognition, even outside the professional field. One of the most well-known is the German streamer Agurin.

Who is Agurin? Muhammed “Agurin” Kocak is a German LoL streamer who primarily streams his SoloQ matches. Many people will also know him from the team NNO, which consisted of well-known German streamers. This included Tolkin, NoWay, Karni, and Broeki.

He is known in the scene for his skills within SoloQ. He regularly reaches rank 1 on the leaderboard. A few weeks ago, he managed to achieve rank 1 and 2 in EUW (via YouTube) and a year ago he reached rank 1 in Solo queue in South Korea (via reddit).

For many LoL players, the jungler is one of the best SoloQ players in the world. And that’s despite live streaming without hiding his map. It’s easy to stream snipe him, yet he is so successful. He has his own playstyle that leads him to success.

The HandofBlood team also regularly causes a stir:

Start video
Everything you need to know about the LoL team Eintracht Spandau – in 4 minutes

Agurin’s playstyle revolves around maximum efficiency

What is Agurin’s playstyle? As a jungler, one must try to utilize the time between camps efficiently, and hardly anyone does this as well as Agurin. The channel Myth explains this in a YouTube video.

Many players think that the jungler must gank often. However, while watching Agurin, you realize that he doesn’t gank as often as one might think. Most of the time, he does a full clear of the camps and then focuses on potential ganks afterwards.

He always makes the decision about what is the most efficient at that moment. Just because one ganks, it doesn’t mean it yields more experience and gold than farming during that time. Agurin has such extensive experience that he can usually say what the safest and most efficient next step is. It’s not about a single match but about how to behave best in hundreds of matches.

For a team game, this might sound quite strange at first, but SoloQ is the mode where one doesn’t know how good one’s teammates are. He is a master of macro play, focusing on the bigger picture of a match rather than individual mechanics.

Sometimes, it’s simply better not to make a play and farm bluntly.

Agurin knows exactly what he’s doing with his champions

Agurin uses the resources he has very well. Looking at how he approaches the camps, you can see that he also wants to utilize the time perfectly there. He tries to do the different camps as soon as possible, so the respawn of the different camps happens at the same time. He aims to farm efficiently.

An important factor is also his main champions. He has a fixed pool of champions from which he chooses, usually Elise, Jarvan, and Kha’Zix. But he has also shown with champions like Brand or Neeko that he is not dependent on a specific meta.

In summary, Agurin does many things very well:

  • He always tries to do the most efficient and probably the best thing
  • Doesn’t rely on his team
  • He tries to be the one who carries the team
  • Fixed champion pool, which he adjusts based on the meta

Does this work in the professional realm as well? No, in the professional realm, one can rely on their team, communicate, and knows what their teammates are capable of. In SoloQ, randomness is an important factor that Agurin tries to counter with his playstyle.

What is the current status of Agurin? This season, he had some problems getting out of Diamond. However, as he wrote on x.com on October 15, 2024, he has reached Challenger again. Besides this, he recently attracted attention for toxic behavior. An outburst this year also caused his NNO colleagues to be called out: LoL: A nasty outburst from their friend puts leading German streamers on Twitch in a position of having to explain themselves

Designer is responsible for 23 skins in LoL, but Riot fires her and this puts her in a precarious situation

A Czech designer for video game characters was fired by Riot Games. She was responsible for 23 skins for League of Legends. Her residence permit is also tied to her job in LoL, which is why she now has to quickly look for another job.

Who is the designer? It is Tereza “Teya” Rozumkova, who worked for Riot Games as a character designer for over four years. During her time with the publisher, she was responsible for 23 skins in the game League of Legends. She has been involved with a total of 40 additional skins and their integration.

One of the most popular games from Riot Games is Valorant. In the video, the publisher introduces the new console version of the game:

Designer looking for a new job via X

Why does she have to leave the USA? Currently, Tereza Rozumkova resides in Los Angeles, California, according to her X profile. However, she was apparently born in the Czech Republic and trained there.

This means that with the loss of her job, her residence permit in the USA is now also at risk. She is likely on a work visa and therefore only has 60 days to find something new.

On X, Tereza Rozumkova is now looking for a new job and states that she wants either a position in Europe or in the USA.

What are the reactions? Under the post of Tereza Rozumkova, there are many former colleagues expressing their sympathy and mourning that she will no longer be part of the team:

  • “Your work is incredible, I wish you only the best for the future” (Wanda on X)
  • “I’m so sorry, Tereza. It’s their loss, any team would be happy to have you (…)” (James Marsano on X)
  • “I’m sorry, Teya, I hope you find something quickly” (Spideraxe on X)

Why was the designer fired? The designer did not disclose the reason for her dismissal. However, she is not the only one who has been fired by Riot Games.

Riot Games states that this is not about saving money, but they want to ensure that they have the right people for the positions. They want to ensure that League of Legends remains “great” in the coming years.

Strong candidates for TOTW 5 in EA FC 25

  • Alexia Putellas contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in Barcelona’s 7-1 win over Espanyol. Reason enough to land in the new TOTW 5 and claim a strong 91-rated card.
  • Serhou Guirassy was away with the national team and scored 3 goals in Guinea’s 4-1 win over Ethiopia. An Inform card is therefore likely, giving the Bundesliga top scorer his first upgrade in FC 25.
  • Deniz Undav was allowed to play for the German national team against Bosnia and Herzegovina and scored 2 goals right away. Whether that is enough for a spot in TOTW 5, we will find out on Wednesday.

19-year-old is frustrated that Twitch streamer MontanaBlack remains silent about the rumors

Since Spring 2023, a rumor has been brewing under the surface of Twitch-Germany about a potential relationship between the well-known streamer MontanaBlack (36) and the streamer snipsska (19). While MontanaBlack seems to be riding out the rumor, the 19-year-old is now speaking out on Twitter about the matter. She sounds frustrated.

What is this rumor all about? In May 2023, the then 18-year-old streamer snipsska was seen more frequently on streams with MontanaBlack, which gave the streamer’s career on Twitch a boost. The two played the co-op game It Takes Two together, and snipsska apparently was also allowed to use MontanaBlack’s house and gaming setup.

Due to the significant age difference (17 years) between snipsska and MontanaBlack, there was some whispering in the community, but nothing concrete.

An ex-boyfriend of streamer snipsska later claimed that MontanaBlack made advances on the then 17-year-old streamer while he was still together with her.

The streamer contradicted this in August 2024. She did not comment on a romantic relationship with MontanaBlack, but only mentioned having had contact with “the person” (MontanaBlack), but that was 8 months later after she had broken contact with her ex-boyfriend. At the time of the contact with MontanaBlack, she was also no longer 17.

MontanaBlack did not speak much about the matter. He only referred to “lies that are going around.” Snipsska also only hinted at what might have happened between her and MontanaBlack. These sparse pieces of information and hints only fueled the rumors further.

MontanaBlack is often criticized for calling the 17-year-old streamer Fibii a child, but then getting involved with a similarly aged streamer:

Streamer seems frustrated with MontanaBlack’s silence

This is what the streamer says now: Snipsska apparently lost her temper on X (formerly Twitter) on the night of October 15 to 16. She tagged MontanaBlack directly and was upset with him:

  • MontanaBlack has completely left her alone on the topic.
  • However, MontanaBlack has invited people to an event who “spread rumors on the internet” that snipsska had to clarify alone.
  • In response to inquiries from X users, snipsska was evasive and did not want to specify her frustration.
ssnipska

Who is this about? On reddit, it is speculated that snipsska might mean the content creator “Bachelorbby”.

Apparently, MontanaBlack donated €500 to the streamer with the message of whether he could “meet a woman” who was seen with Bachelorbby.

Bachelorbby has commented on the rumors about MontanaBlack and snipsska in a YouTube video (via YouTube).

One reason for the rumors: snipsska streamed from MontanaBlack’s well-known gaming room, but provided plausible reasons for it:

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Twitch content

This is what it’s about: The topic of what exactly happened between MontanaBlack and the streamer has kept many users occupied since snipsska appeared in MontanaBlack’s streams.

There are many rumors that the two had been together at events, but MontanaBlack allegedly wanted to prevent anyone from taking photos of them.

The topic is also sensitive because streamer DrDisrespect in the USA lost many partners and sponsors when it became known that he exchanged apparently scandalous messages with a 17-year-old in 2017.

The streamer snipsska originally benefited in May 2023 from being seen with the streamer MontanaBlack in videos. She received a “push,” as it is said in the scene: Snipsska is currently on the rise on Twitch – Who is the streamer playing with MontanaBlack?

The fourth season was filmed in New Zealand

In a new video about the series, Fritz Meinecke announced where it will take place this year. The new season will be held in New Zealand. This time, the season will not be filmed by the sea or a lake; instead, the participants will be dropped in a valley through which a river flows. Geographically, the participants can expect various areas such as plains, hills, and wooded areas.

The new season will be filmed on private property. This means that the participants are allowed to make fires, hunt, and there are no restrictions on cutting down trees this time.

These changes exist in the fourth season

The new season of 7 vs. Wild runs under the motto “Crashed”. The 7 participants received little information about the changes this year before the start of the series, as contestant Joe Vogel revealed. Upon arrival in New Zealand, the drop-off went quite quickly, reflecting the scenario of a plane crash.

This time, the participants will be dropped as a group at a plane wreck and can stay together throughout the season if they wish. The items were selected by the organization and placed in the plane.

However, the participants were allowed to choose their own clothing. The organization provided recommendations and information about the temperatures. The season was filmed at the end of autumn, and it has now been revealed that it also snowed during this year’s season and there were times when temperatures were below zero.

What do the contestants need to consider this year?

This year’s focus is more on survival and less on just passing the time, as the participants could do in seasons 2 and 3 due to favorable climatic conditions. Building a shelter that ensures survival will likely become more important this year. As in season 3, the series will again be filmed for 14 days this year.

What items the participants ultimately receive is still uncertain. Last year, the preparation centered around the bottle, into which everything needed to be packed. In the end, however, that turned out not to be so important: 7 vs. Wild reveals the secret of Season 3 that caused a lot of fuss: The viewers are disappointed
