In Once Human, a free survival game, players fight for survival. A special aspect is the creative building of bases, which allows players to unleash their imagination. One user stands out with his home.
What is Once Human about? Once Human is a free survival game set in a dystopian world shaped by monsters and destruction. You fight for survival, explore a post-apocalyptic environment, and develop your characters further.
An important aspect for many players is building bases, where they can unleash their creativity. Whether castles, small huts, or houseboats – there are no limits to imagination. The user WhiskerTriscuit shares his impressive building skills on Reddit and delights the community.

18,000 Stones for a Yacht
What has the player built? The player wanted to unleash his creativity and decided to build a huge, luxurious yacht. For this, he needed 18,000 stones. The result is impressive, and not only he is thrilled with his construction.
He emphasizes that he is impressed by the possibilities of the building system and the endless options the game offers. However, he was occasionally frustrated as the building menu in Once Human functioned somewhat sluggishly at times, according to the user.

How does the community respond to his construction? Most users are also overwhelmed by the player’s construction. Even if there are few restrictions when building – aside from the property limit – many players are excited about the community’s constructions.
bart9611 writes on Reddit: Look at Jeff Bezos over there. That’s not a boat, that’s a yacht.
Also, tomometer shows enthusiasm on Reddit: I thought I built a decent base. Now I’m convinced I just built a storage room.
Former-Marketing-251 says on Reddit: I can’t believe I never thought of that.
It won’t be long until the first server reset in Once Human. Besides a new scenario, you will have to level up your character again, even if your story progress remains intact. What this means for your base and whether it is worth it for new players to join at the reset can be read here: Is it worth starting with Once Human when the reset is coming soon?

HandOfBlood, one of the most well-known German Twitch streamers, took on the challenge of the new DLC in Elden Ring. In particular, the final boss caused some difficulties and a burial.
Which boss is it about? With the release of the new Elden Ring DLC, HandOfBlood wanted to play through the entire DLC in one go over several days. The streamer managed quite well, but one boss made him fail: the final boss Radahn.
After over 14 hours and an almost continuous three-day stream, HandOfBlood admitted defeat for the time being. Radahn is considered one of the toughest bosses in the DLC among players. In one of his last streams, however, the streamer wanted to finally defeat him.

I let myself be humiliated for 14 hours
How did his second attempt go? In his second stream with the final boss Radahn, the streamer fortunately did not need 14 hours. To get in the right mood, a coffin was carried into the room, symbolically representing the boss.
His streaming colleague Sterzik even held a highly professional eulogy for this – complete with singing. HandOfBlood issued another challenge to the final boss, stating that he had previously let Radahn humiliate him for 14 hours. This time it would be different.
The burial of Radahn seemed to have had its effect on the streamer, as this time he needed considerably less than 14 hours to finally defeat the boss. After a total of three attempts, HandOfBlood succeeded and completed the DLC.
How did he celebrate his victory? HandOfBlood celebrated his victory over the final boss Radahn in a rather unusual way. As he hinted at the beginning of the stream, he wanted to literally bury Radahn.
When he finally defeats the boss in his third attempt during the stream, he turns to the open coffin, which contains a mummy with a printed image of Radahn. A clip on TikTok shows how HandOfBlood then slams the lid on the coffin and says: You will now be buried.
Previously, HandOfBlood had tried to play through the Elden Ring DLC in one go during a three-day stream. However, the final boss Radahn threw a wrench in his plans, even though he was perfectly prepared. You can read about how the stream went and what laugh yoga has to do with it here: 20,000 people watch on Twitch as HandOfBlood fails at the Elden Ring DLC for 3 days

At the launch of Diablo 4, actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg was angry with Blizzard. Now, at a cannabis event, there was a chilled peace summit between Goldberg, some demonic beings from the underworld, and the head of the Diablo franchise.
At that time, she demanded a refund for the purchase of the game, which she received a few days later. To this day, there is no official support for the Mac. Anyone who wants to play Diablo 4 on the Apple platform is reliant on third-party tools like CrossOver.
The new class from Diablo 4 in the trailer:

Diablo 4: The trailer for the first new class, the Spiritborn from Vessel of Hatred
What has happened now? Over the weekend, the “A Night with Whoopi” event was held to celebrate the cannabis brand Emma & Clyde in Venice Beach, California. There, in addition to cannabis connoisseurs, were the head of the Diablo franchise, Rod Fergusson, as well as some demonic hellish beings.
They presented the popular comedian with the “key to hell” at the peace summit and let her loot and level up in Diablo 4 (at least that’s visible in a picture from the report by Entertainment Weekly). This likely boosts the mood comparably, similar to the cannabis promoted at the event – however, it is unclear if there were tasting stations for this as well.

If you are wondering how successful Diablo 4 can be without official Mac support: By August 2023, the fourth main installment of the diabolical franchise had reached twelve million players – at that time, the game was not yet available on Xbox Game Pass. In total, all parts are said to have been played by more than 100 million different monster hunters.
The next highlight is scheduled for October 8, 2024. Then the first expansion for Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred, will be released. Included: a continuation of the story, the new class Spiritborn, the area Torajan, and more.

What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

In Once Human, you can carry all kinds of materials with your backpack. We have summarized what the number on the backpack display means for you.
The number on the backpack explains: The number displayed on your backpack indicates how far you are from star dust pollution. If the number is low, there is no active danger yet. When you reach a heavily polluted area, you will also receive a warning: “The star dust pollution is getting worse.”
It is not for nothing that the backpack warns you about star dust pollution. After all, this is the reason why so many monsters roam the world. In the game, the pollution attacks your sanity, which negatively affects your health points (HP) when it decreases.
In Once Human, you can be glad to have such a practical backpack, as there are many dangers lurking in this world:

Two more features with your backpack
What other functions does the backpack have? Your backpack is your best friend in Once Human. Not only does it carry all your items, but its display can also be an important indicator for you and your health:
Green display: Your mental and physical health is good.
Orange/Yellow display: Your mental and physical health is okay.
Red display: Your mental and physical health is low.
Additionally, the small yellow dot at the top right of your backpack indicates whether you are near Morphic boxes. These are hidden boxes with precious contents. If the display blinks quickly, you need to press Q to make the box visible.
Then shoot at the box, and the contents are yours. For quicker locating of the boxes, you can also use the interactive map. If the collected items no longer fit in your backpack, you can also increase the carrying capacity.
How can I carry more in the backpack? The most important function of your backpack is, of course, carrying your resources. However, if your inventory fills up too quickly, you can increase the carrying capacity.
For this, you need to have reached level 15 and then unlock the backpack expansion Master Craftsman Meme specialization. In the meme menu, you need to navigate through specializations to the backpack expansions.
After unlocking, you need to craft the backpack expansion at a workbench. This will give you 40 kilograms more carrying capacity.
If you want to have the absolutely best gear in Diablo 4, you have to grind for many hours and days. Especially towards the end, the improvement is hardly noticeable. One player, however, is ambitious to improve everything possible – and thought he was finally at the end. But even after over 2,000 Pit runs, there’s still more to go.
On Reddit, a user shows his results after over 2,000 pits and 120,000 units of low iron. His Barbarian looks perfectly equipped – almost.
Here’s how the player can still improve: With his build, the player can easily master all the content of Diablo 4 – except for the highest pit levels that no one has achieved yet or Lilith, if he plays foolishly.
Nonetheless, the top comment already points out what can still be improved: “Get rid of the crit on maximum life on the chest and go for imposing appearance.”
For that, the user is missing some items with multiple great affixes, i.e. stats that are 1.5 times stronger than usual. However, these are in some cases rarer than the coveted Uber Uniques.
In the end, the improvements the player can still achieve probably only make up a few percentage points. Not significant given the damage he could already deal. And for his persistence, there is plenty of admiration.
With the Spiritborn, you can farm loot for a new class in Vessel of Hatred and receive 2 new weapon types. Here’s how the Spiritborn works:

“I wish I could enjoy a game this much”
In the comments, other users congratulate the player on completing the game. Others say they wish they could have that much fun in a game. But especially with the Pit, the excitement was already gone after 50 runs.
One user even wonders whether farming with such an amount is still fun or has become unhealthy, like an escape from reality.
The monotonous grinding in the Pit and maximizing loot is not necessarily the epitome of joy for many players. Many simply prefer the Hell Tides, even if there’s nothing left to collect there. But at least they have fun doing it.
In the upcoming Season 5, there will be a new mode, the Infernal Hordes, which is supposed to be an alternative to the Pit. In the first test, however, the mode did not go well because the rewards simply weren’t good enough. Meanwhile, Blizzard has improved this, and the fans are looking forward to the season: “The game is getting better and better” – Season 5 looked lame at first, but is now exciting the players

In Once Human, you need to survive and what would a survival game be without a bit of PvP? Here too, you can compete against other players, but it’s not that easy. Therefore, we will show you how PvP works.
How does PvP work in Once Human? To engage in PvP in Once Human, you only need to hold the “P” key long enough. Once you have made the input, the chaos mode is activated. In this mode, you can deal damage to other players who are also in chaos mode. Players who are not in this mode can only observe you neutrally and do not take damage.
The PvP mode is thus present in every type of server. This means you do not necessarily have to join a PvP server to fight against other survivors. We show you here which server type suits you.
The chaos mode throws you into a temporary PvP state at your current location. Temporarily, because a timer is constantly counting down until you automatically leave chaos mode after the time runs out. However, if you are actively fighting, the timer will be slightly extended.
Do I lose items if I die in PvP? It depends on which instance you are competing against other players. There is either chaos mode or PvP zones in the form of the new delivery truck that you can find on the streets of Red Sands and loot daily between 9 PM and 10 PM German time.
In chaos mode, you lose a small amount of equipment upon death. So be careful with whom and where you fight against other players.
In the PvP zones, however, the loss of items and the wear of equipment are disabled. Here you can duel without having to worry about losing any of your equipment. So if you want to try PvP, then the PvP zones are just the right place for that.
Fnatic and G2, two of the leading teams in the LEC in League of Legends, faced each other on July 22 in the Summer Split. Fnatic secured a victory against G2 in a Best-of-5 for the first time in over 2 years.
Which teams are involved? These are the two teams Fnatic and G2. As part of the LEC Summer Split, both teams faced each other on July 22 to secure the first guaranteed spot in the LEC Summer Split finals.
In a Best-of-5, Fnatic was able to achieve a victory against G2 after more than 2 years and secure a direct place in the finals of the Summer Split, as a post from LEC on X shows.

Fnatic wins a Best-of-5 against G2 after 849 days
How did the match go? Overall, the match ended 3:2 in favor of Fnatic. After the first game, which G2 won, things looked bad for Fnatic, but they quickly caught up and won the next two games.
G2 seemed to want to keep it exciting and won the fourth game, so everything was open for both sides in the last, fifth game. Ultimately, Fnatic was able to win the final game and defeat G2 in a Best-of-5 after 849 days.
Fnatic thus secured a direct place in the finals of the Summer Split on July 28, which will also be broadcast on the YouTube channel of LEC.
Why is G2 at risk of missing the finals? Due to the loss against Fnatic, they might fail to make it to the finals of the LEC Summer Split. First, they need to face either KCorp or BDS again on July 27, also in a Best-of-5. The winner of this match will then face Fnatic in the finals.
However, the odds for G2 are not too bad, as they have already won against both KCorp and BDS in this split, with a score of 2:0 in each case.
The year 2024 is not one of G2’s strongest years. Even at this year’s MSI, the European team could not prevail and was almost completely overwhelmed by the world champion T1. You can read about how MSI went for G2 here: LoL: The big match between T1 and G2 was even sadder than expected

It seemed that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 finally had a fixed release date. But players on Steam will have to wait longer, as the development team from GSC Game World has to postpone the launch again. This time, however, not as long as it was before.
When will S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 be released? Originally, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was supposed to be released on September 5, 2024. The development team now announces that the release will take place on November 20, 2024. So players will have to wait two and a half months longer.

What is the reason? The development team wants to focus more on bug fixing. They explain on X that they have to fix “unexpected anomalies” that are known as bugs in our world.
The fact that this time only a few bugs are being resolved gives hope that the survival title will not be postponed again. Moreover, this time it is only eight weeks that players have to wait longer.
As compensation for the delay, the development team wants to release a new video that will give us fresh insights into the game. The video will be available on the Xbox channels on August 12. It is said to feature exclusive interviews, new footage, and a complete quest from the game.
In the following trailer, you can see what to expect in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2:

Fans have been waiting for 14 years for the successor to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
What is S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? It has now been 14 years since the first part of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series was released. Since March 20, 2007, players have been able to fight strange anomalies in Chernobyl, which were created by a nuclear disaster.
Since the accident, the environment has mutated, and the city of Pripyat is a military exclusion zone. Bandits and other nasty figures roam the area.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a mix of shooter and survival. We not only have to deal with enemies but also pay attention to our hunger and sleep. Additionally, we must tend to our wounds and avoid radioactive radiation.
Even though the release has been pushed further away, there are some shooter players who are looking forward to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. For MeinMMO, the survival title is therefore among the 10 most promising shooters that are set to be released in 2024. You can see the full list here: The 10 most promising shooters set to be released in 2024

In Once Human, you can explore the world either alone or with other players. We from MeinMMO will explain how you can play together with friends and what to consider.

Connecting with your friends
How do you invite friends? You can easily add your friends via the Friends tab. Once you are in the game, you just need to press ESC and you will find it in the upper right corner of the screen. To find your friends, you can either enter the player name or the UID, which you can find in the bottom left corner of the screen.
You can add your contacts via the “Friends” tab.
Your contacts are divided into a total of 4 categories:
Hive
Friends
Cross-server friends
Blacklist
Contacts you are in a Hive with will consequently no longer be listed under Friends. If you leave a Hive, these contacts will again be shown under Friends. Particularly when playing with friends, it makes sense to form a Hive with them as it brings some advantages for playing together.
Why should you be in a Hive with friends? A Hive offers several advantages, especially when you play together: Firstly, you will no longer only see your own base on the map, but also those of your Hive members – regardless of whether they are online or not.
Another advantage is that you can teleport to the homes of your members, making your travels easier. Be careful – after use, there is a cooldown.
A Hive shows you the locations of all members’ bases.
Can you play the story together? In theory, you can complete quests together with your friends, although everyone must have their own conversations with the NPCs. There is one small exception: with bosses from the quest, you usually have to fight alone. However, if you are in a team, you can defeat the security silos at T-Man and the Monolith bosses together.
How to create a team: There are two options for this: either you go to your Friends tab and right-click on the person you want to invite to your team, and select the function invite to team.
As a second option, you can open the team menu using the key U. There you can either invite friends to your team or join other teams. The practical thing about this is that you can also specifically look for teams for boss battles when you are alone.
To play together, you must be on the same server
Can you play together if you are not on the same servers? In short: no. To play together with friends, you must necessarily be on the same server. If that is not the case, you can of course switch to your friends’ server, but then you would have to start completely from scratch with your character.
Now that you know how to play together with friends, you might still be wondering whether you want to play on PvE or rather on PvP servers. What the differences between the two server types are and which one is right for you, you can read here: Once Human: What types of servers are there and which should I play?

Last year, a new Soulslike was released on Steam, developed by a small team. Now, the release on the PS5 is coming.
What game is this about? Bleak Faith Forsaken is an action role-playing game that could also be classified as a Soulslike. At first glance, the game stands proud alongside well-known and larger titles. The interesting part is, however, that it was developed by a very small team of only 3 people.
It was already released in March 2023 on Steam and received a total of 71% mostly positive ratings there. Now, a PS5 release is set for August 6, 2024.

Bleak Faith Forsaken will be released in August on PS5
After last year’s release, the developers had to deal with accusations of having copied from Elden Ring. However, in an official statement, they assured that this was not done intentionally and that they would modify the affected animations.
In Bleak Faith Forsaken, you explore an open world set in a dark, post-apocalyptic environment. You fight through the ruins of various civilizations, which seem to reference different eras.
You can choose between different classes and then customize your character according to your play style.
Players hope for improvements with the console release
What is the status of the game now? Next month, Bleak Faith Forsaken is also scheduled to release on the PS5. Over the past year, the developers have likely worked hard on their RPG to improve various aspects.
Players hope that the console version runs smoother in many respects and that the developers have also refined the gameplay.
Fans of the career mode are calling for an improvement for FC 25 online. In fact, their wish could be fulfilled, as EA has a fitting update in response.
On reddit.com, many fans of the career mode participated in a survey in the subreddit “FifaCareers”. The user DimDim17 asked what 3 changes the community wishes for the career mode.

What are the fans demanding? Among 430 posts, one of the top comments came from user myekke_85. He wishes for: “Youth players with game faces, names, and nationalities.” He demands more diversity and does not want to see the same 15-year-olds from the same regions with the same names (via reddit.com).
The comment received a lot of support. It reached over 640 upvotes so far (as of July 25). The topic seems to be occupying a wider audience.

EA promises comprehensive scouting of youth for the career mode
In the first Pitch Notes for FC 25, EA has published current information for the successor on their official website. This includes some information for the career mode in FC 25.
And for all fans who want a more developed youth academy system, there is good news.
What are EA’s plans for the career mode in FC 25? In the subsection “Youth Academy” for the “Career Mode,” EA promises a new update. Players will now have access to over 160 countries to allow for a broader search for the stars of the future. (via ea.com)
This would fulfill the requested diversity in terms of nations. Whether EA will also put more effort into the names is not known yet.
Furthermore, you will now be allowed to scout up to 4 positions at the same time to search effectively for players that fit your tactics.
Realistic game faces thanks to new technology – also for the career mode?
EA has at least responded to the request for better game faces. Thanks to new Cranium technology, EA is now able to capture and recreate players’ faces more realistically using various photos. Generic game faces, especially from lower leagues, are expected to be less common.
Whether this can also be applied to the talents of the career mode remains to be seen. However, it is quite conceivable that EA will offer a larger variety of game faces for youth players with the help of the new technology.
These are just a few points that will change in FC 25. The deep-dive trailer for the career mode, which is set to be released in August, will provide further information. EA has already confirmed this on their website.

Niantic has a new feature for Monster Hunter Now. And this should please everyone who doesn’t have players nearby.
What is Monster Hunter Now? This game comes from Niantic, just like Pokémon GO. It follows a similar approach: You are out in the real world with your smartphone looking for monsters.
But you don’t catch them; you fight against them – by using an action-oriented combat system. Then you improve your equipment with the resources you gain to be able to defeat stronger monsters.
Some monsters, however, are too strong to fight alone. You will need help from other players, similar to how it is with Pokémon GO raids.
This is difficult, however, when no other players are nearby. But this is exactly where Monster Hunter has introduced a new option that would probably also appeal to Pokémon GO players: The Dimensional Links.
Start video
Monster Hunter Now: New Trailer Shows Dimensional Links
Fight powerful monsters with random players from all over the world
These are Dimensional Links: In a press conference, Niantic introduced the feature. In the story of Monster Hunter Now, the monsters come into our world through portals. Some of them now seem to be stuck between worlds and are therefore at multiple locations at the same time – they are called “Dimensional Link” monsters, which can now be attacked from all over the world.
These monsters are represented directly on the map as such. When you attack, a preparation screen opens. Players from all over the world who are fighting the same monster or are nearby can join there. If you are close to such a monster, a join button will appear automatically.
This feature, Carl Damerow from Niantic explained to us, is especially for players who don’t live in Downtown Manhattan or Tokyo. Because how else do you play with other players when no one lives nearby?
Are there restrictions? Currently, there are none. It does not cost additional resources to challenge Dimensional Links, and there is no cooldown either. The only limitation is that you have to find these monsters first by going out.
How is this handled in Pokémon GO? Also in Pokémon GO, players occasionally report having too few teammates for the most difficult raids. Especially if you live in rural areas, it is hard to find enough players.
And you can only invite friends from a distance, or be invited. There is currently no global matchmaking with unknown trainers, like with the Dimensional Links.
This kind of feature would certainly also be useful for players in Pokémon GO. But nothing has been announced in that direction. Archit Bhargava from Niantic also explained in the press conference: “Different teams are working on Pokémon GO and Monster Hunter Now.” He also stated that learnings are shared between them.
In addition to the new feature, Niantic also introduced a collaboration with YouTuber MrBeast. They want to bring more players into the game this summer, and the MrBeast collaboration is meant to help with that.
The YouTuber will be represented with:
A unique quest
Various cosmetics
There is an exclusive MrBeast weapon and shield that can be unlocked in the quest. They are said to be quite powerful, especially for new players.
To use the quest, you need to play between July 27 and September 2. So make sure to plan for that if you want to get the new weapons.
Have you ever tried Monster Hunter Now, or is it not for you? Let us know in the comments. And if you are just starting with the game: At the beginning of the game, you can use referral codes to get some bonuses. We will show you everything about that here: Monster Hunter Now: Find and enter referral code.

Shinichi Kudo is shrunk to a small boy in the anime by the side effect of a poison, becoming Detective Conan. To keep his identity secret, he had to quickly come up with a new name. In the anime, two well-known authors help him with this – actually, there are three authors from whom Conan takes his name.
Which authors are they? In the anime, Conan can be seen looking at the bookshelf when asked questions by Ran. There, he notices two famous authors:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Edogawa Rampo
From these two names, he created his identity as Conan Edogawa. This way, the “Men in Black” cannot find him, the ones who administered the poison to the boy. Additionally, he protects his girlfriend Ran Mouri from becoming the target of the villains.
However, there is yet another author from whom Conan Edogawa’s name was inspired. Edogawa Rampo is actually just a pseudonym that refers to one of the first authors who dealt with detective stories.
The name is derived from Edgar Allan Poe. He is considered one of the founders of detective stories.
Detective Conan is not only available as an anime but also as a movie:
Start video
Detective Conan Movie 27: The 1-Million-Dollar Pentagram – The 2nd Teaser in German
How is the name derived? Edogawa Rampo is Japanese and was born with the name Hirai Taro. He was probably looking for an artist’s name under which he could publish his works. He came up with the detective author Edgar Allan Poe, who is pronounced in Japanese as “Edogaa aran poo”.
Taro wanted to come up with a pseudonym that sounds similar, so he chose “Edogawa ranpo”. If you say both names aloud, you’ll notice that they sound alike.
The next gaming blockbuster from Capcom is likely Monster Hunter Wilds. When it will be released is still unclear, but in a recent shareholder Q&A, Capcom had to answer questions from the investors. Among them were questions about the release, mods, and a Switch version.
What did the shareholders want to know? Regularly, companies have to answer questions from their shareholders. This includes discussions about the future as well as the past. Capcom also has to undergo this.
In a recent Q&A session, questions were mainly asked about Monster Hunter Wilds. It is noticeable that the shareholders are not necessarily gaming experts based on their questions. After all, there’s new information primarily regarding technical topics.

Questions about the Switch and the release
In the FAQ, shareholders asked some questions to Capcom. Mainly, these pertain to financial matters, but Monster Hunter Wilds is also an important topic. However, the questions reveal that the shareholders do not necessarily have the greatest expertise in gaming.
One of the first questions regarding Monster Hunter Wilds concerns the release date. So far, only the year 2025 is known. The shareholder wants to know why the game isn’t being released in December 2024, as that would yield more profit.
Capcom wants to announce a specific date only when the preparations are complete. However, they still believe they will be able to meet the goal for the fiscal year.
Another question related to the platforms. The game was announced for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. The shareholder asks why no portable console like the Switch is mentioned.
Capcom gives the obvious answer: The technology. Monster Hunter Wilds is supposed to push current technology to its limits, which is only possible with the PS5, Xbox, and PC.
Fallout: London is set to be a large mod that massively expands the game of Fallout 4. However, you will not start in America, but in British London. This city too has been caught in the nuclear inferno. What you should know about the release and the download is summarized here.
What is Fallout: London? Fallout: London is a major mod from “Team FOLON”. This brings you to Great Britain with a new character, where you must survive in a British way. It is clear: Not only America was devastated by atomic bombs. London has also taken a hit, and now you must navigate through the rubble of the great city and try not to perish.
Start video
Fallout: London shows its gloomy location in the trailer
Does the mod have a price? No. The mod is completely free. However, you need the base game of Fallout 4 with all expansions to download and play the mod.
Which platforms will receive the mod? Only PC players will benefit from the mod. Consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One are currently left out.
How to download Fallout: London
How does the download work? Before you can download the mod, you must own Fallout 4 with all expansions on Steam or gog.com. Once this requirement is met, you can download the mod from gog.com at times. Here is the link to the mod on gog.com.
What can I expect in Fallout: London? Parallels to the original can be seen in Fallout: London. You are once again a test subject of a mysterious company, but you can escape. There is no Pip-Boy, but a small rustic tablet with which you can manage your stats and items.
However, the trailers from Team FOLON make it clear that you are not wandering in an idyllic black forest. London has also been hit hard, and in addition to new enemies and items, you will encounter even darker places than those known from Fallout 4.
Fallout: London is handcrafted and thus you will hardly recognize things from the original. The mysterious organization, for example, has its own logo, and many elements, such as the symbols of the “Underground”, have been appropriately implemented for the location.
From the trailer, the mod appears to be an independent title that invites you with new quests to explore the story behind the British nuclear inferno. However, please note that Fallout: London is entirely in English.
What do you think of Fallout: London? Will you indulge in the mod or would you rather stick to the original? Feel free to let us know your first impressions of the mod in the comments!

The streamers Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter are among the biggest in their class on Twitch. As part of a fundraising campaign, someone asked for over 60,000 US dollars to spend time with, among others, them.
What fundraising campaign is it about? Twitch streamer Connor “CDawgVA” Colquhoun also launched a fundraising campaign this year to support the Immune Deficiency Foundation. In this context, various auctions could be bid on. Among other things, a gaming experience with Pokimane, Valkyrae, Ironmouse, and host CDawgVA himself was auctioned off.
Participation in the auctions was possible until Friday, July 19, 2024. Initially, it seemed that fans were bidding half a million US dollars to game with Pokimane. However, these offers turned out to be fake, and the VTuber Claudia Moneta was able to claim a total of three gaming sessions for herself.
In the German-speaking area, Trymacs is one of the largest on the streaming platform. In our video, you can learn more about his career:

“68,200 US dollars go to charity”
What exactly did Claudia Moneta win? The VTuber needed a low 68,200 US dollars to win the dream of gaming sessions with big Twitch stars. She won a gaming session with Pokimane, a hangout/gaming session with Ironmouse and CDawgVA, and additionally a collaboration with Valkyrae.
Pokimane and Valkyrae are among the biggest female streamers on Twitch, with a following in the millions. Ironmouse and CDawgVA also have communities of several million people. All four are among the biggest personalities on the internet, which benefits the reach of the fundraising campaign.
For gaming with Pokimane, she paid 30,700 dollars, for Ironmouse and CDawgVA 23,500 dollars, and for Valkyrae 14,000 dollars. In a post on X, the VTuber now showed her final bids with which she was able to win the three prizes and wrote: “68,200 dollars go to charity”. The 30,700 dollars that Claudia Moneta paid for Pokimane’s time was the highest bid in the fundraising campaign.
Numerous auctions for a good cause
What else was auctioned? Other items were also part of the auctions. For example, Twitch streamer Ludwig won an “Elden Ring” poster signed by Miyazaki for 21,000 dollars. YouTuber JaidenAnimations auctioned off her diamond play button and parted with it for 20,200 dollars.
How much did the fundraising campaign raise? Additionally, Connor held a live event that was streamed on his Twitch channel. Unfortunately, the goal of 1.5 million US dollars was not reached. However, a respectable sum of 528,131 dollars was collected.
The open beta of Throne and Liberty has just come to an end, but now you can continue playing right away. Thanks to a new update, that’s possible with a little trick.
Why is this possible now? Throne and Liberty has just released the new “Leap Update” in Korea. The update overhauls the game comprehensively and will be further expanded with an update in August. Alongside many new gameplay features, such as multi-level dungeons, new lifeskills, and a completely new skill system, the update also expanded the game to 18 additional countries outside of Korea.
Included are many Asian countries and countries in Eastern Europe. They can now also play Throne and Liberty directly with the new update. But there is an option for everyone else as well.
Here you can watch the trailer:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: Trailer for the start of the open beta shows early access packages
With a trick, you can join the game too
How do you get into the game? To allow new players outside of Korea to join the game without a Korean account, Throne and Liberty is now available in the “Purple Launcher,” where you can also get other games like Lineage. A tutorial on how to install the MMORPG can be found on the developers’ website.
To play Throne and Liberty, you simply need to select a country where the game has launched instead of Germany when creating your account, such as Ukraine. Now you can easily download the game.
Some users on Reddit report, however, that they could not connect to the servers without a VPN. So it’s possible that you’ll need a VPN to get around this hurdle. Other users report that they only needed the VPN once for character creation and could play without it afterward.
The servers are already waiting for you with the new update that you could not try out in the open beta. However, there is a big catch if you start playing there.
Here’s the catch: If you sneak into the game this way, you will not be able to transfer your progress to the Amazon servers that will launch in the fall. So, you will either have to stay on the Asian servers or start completely fresh on the western servers.
They either free a planet that provides resources to manufacture anti-tank mines
or they free a planet with a hospital for very sick children
Only the first planet that players could free from their enemies would be saved.
Ultimately, the brave Helldivers listened to their hearts instead of their greed for new, explosive toys and saved the sick children. They still do not have the anti-tank mines.
However, a new update for Helldivers 2 is set to be released in August, bringing a new feature that has some players reconsidering their decision.
You can watch the trailer for the upcoming update “Escalation of Freedom” here:
Start video
Announcement for Helldivers 2: Escalation of Freedom shows extreme battles
Players fear that saving the children could backfire
What is the community saying now? With the Helldivers update “Escalation of Freedom”, there will be some new enemies, including the “Rocket Tank”. A name that describes the steel monster very well. Some players wish they had the anti-tank mines in their repertoire when seeing the new enemy.
The Reddit user ConstructionWhich622 believes they should take the mines in the future and writes: “Screw the children, next time.” Over 3,900 users show their agreement with an upvote on Reddit.
However, some players suspect that the mines wouldn’t do much against the tank. It seems very stationary and likely fights at long distances. Other users counter that they could request the drop of the mines at the position of the tank. This would also prevent more tanks from coming from that direction.
What makes the new enemy so frightening? The Rocket Tank fights on the side of the robots and is – broadly speaking – just a big tank with 33 barrels from which it fires rockets. The tank can fire directly at you or fire like an artillery strike into the air, so the rockets find their way to you from above.
Rockets are really annoying in Helldivers. If they don’t eliminate you in fractions of a second, they throw you through the air with the explosion of the rocket – and when you land, the next rocket is already hitting. The Rocket Annihilator often reminded us of that.
In August 2024, the new expansion Janthir Wilds for Guild Wars 2 will be released. Now the developers from ArenaNet have revealed details about the comeback of raids and convergences.
What information is available about the new raid for Guild Wars 2? The Janthir Wilds expansion will bring a lot of fresh content to Tyria on August 20, including the first new raid in five years. Here’s what you need to know:
In a new challenge from Janthir Wilds, you will fight your way up a mountain. You have the choice of tackling this content as a convergence event for 50 players or as a raid for ten players.
The trip to the mountain region is set to be firmly integrated into the main story of Janthir Wilds, unlike the stories of previous raids.
The raid variant is set to offer a heroic experience and focus on the dangerous adversaries.
The 50-participant convergence is meant to provide a story-focused alternative for those who are reluctant to engage in raids. It is expected to resemble structurally comparable convergences from Secrets of the Obscure, but with a slightly higher difficulty level.
The raid will not be available directly at the launch of the expansion, but will instead be available in November. A challenge mode and a legendary mode will follow shortly thereafter.
In the convergence version of the raid, the war claw mount will provide support. You will earn essences through the content, which can be used to craft legendary equipment – including the legendary spear and the legendary backpack that are set to follow with the quarterly updates for Janthir Wilds.
The announcement trailer for the new expansion Guild Wars 2 – Janthir Wilds:
Start video
Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds – Announcement trailer introduces you to new expansion
Are more raids planned for Guild Wars 2? The developers answer this question with a “maybe.” Raid content takes a “significant amount of development resources,” but is only played by a few heroes of Tyria. The new alternative is an attempt to make raid content attractive to a larger part of the community.
Furthermore, it should be easier to integrate raid content into the annual release schedule if it is part of the campaign. The plan is to expand certain story elements so that they can also support raids going forward.
Guild Wars 2 is one of the best MMORPGs of all time
What do I need to know about Janthir Wilds? The new expansion for Guild Wars 2 will be released on August 20, 2024. The expansion is expected to cost €24.99 in its standard version and, like its predecessor Secrets of the Obscure, will receive three major content updates that will be released between August 2024 and summer 2025.
At the launch of Janthir Wilds, you can look forward to the following key features:
New zone named Lowland Coast (home of the Lowland Kodan).
New zone Janthir Syntri (known for dangerous rocky coasts, mystical storms, and wandering titans).
The homesteads will bring what is said to be the “most player-friendly housing system of all MMORPGs” to Tyria – through a customization and decoration interface, you will be able to create and decorate your personal dwelling.
You will be able to tame wild war claws (already known from the “World vs. World” game mode) and use them as mounts to explore Janthir – the war claw possesses a unique double jump ability.
A new weapon type, the two-handed spear, will come for combat on land, with each class using the spear in its own way.
