In Europe, banknotes are issued that carry a value of 0 Euro. What kind of banknotes are these, and what can you do with them?
What kind of banknotes are these? 0-Euro banknotes are regularly issued in the EU by various organizations. Since 2015, more than 2,500 different models have been issued in 30 European countries. These are commemorative notes that are released on certain occasions.
The latest zero-euro note, which is set to be circulated in July 2024, depicts the landing in Normandy on June 6, 1944, whose 80th anniversary was recently celebrated. However, the special edition is limited to 3,000 pieces.
Commemorative notes are not legal tender
What can you do with them? Nothing. These banknotes serve only a commemorative function and are not legal tender. Therefore, you cannot use the notes for shopping; instead, you can hang them on your wall or display them in a showcase.
Like thematic coins from tourist attractions, the note is a collector’s item made with the same techniques as any other euro. The banknotes are produced by the bank in the same way as any other euro.
You can purchase these banknotes either directly from the manufacturers or at various museums. Depending on the note and rarity, usually between 3 and 12 euros are charged.
Who is allowed to issue coins and notes in Germany? The Deutsche Bundesbank issues German euro and commemorative coins. The federal government, represented by the Federal Ministry of Finance, is responsible for special commemorative coins and so-called gold collector coins.
The official banknotes are produced in eleven high-security printing works in Europe. They are then delivered to the various national central banks. The volume is controlled and regulated by the European Central Bank.
In Destiny 2, there has been a problem with a class for a month now. When receiving the weekly bonus, it does not gain as much reputation as others.
What is the problem? In Destiny, there has been a bug affecting the Warlock class for a month now. Unlike other classes, the Warlock does not receive the correct amount of reputation points from the vendor for the weekly bonus.
Actually, the class should receive double rewards like all others, but this has not been the case for the Warlock for a while.
Here you can watch the trailer for the future after The Final Shape:

The problem remains unsolved, despite the developers’ awareness
Have the developers commented on the issue? The developers list the bug among the known issues on their website. It is categorized under “Major issues to investigate.” Therefore, the bug is high on the developers’ priority list and could possibly be fixed soon.
However, for Warlock players, the bug is quite annoying. A post on Reddit recently received a lot of attention.
How is the community reacting? The community is not happy about the issue. Some Warlock players were completely unaware until now and are understandably upset.
vincentofearth writes on Reddit: “For someone who only plays Warlock, this is frustrating. Why hasn’t this been fixed yet? Surely it’s literally a value in a database somewhere or a feature flag!?”
Also, fluffyspaceshark expresses his discontent: “This is nonsense, I don’t play an inferior class that doesn’t make it fun for me to win. This is crap.”
Some users on Reddit point out that the issue is not with the Warlock, but that the other classes are receiving triple rewards instead. However, Bungie itself refutes this and describes the problem as follows: “Warlocks gain less reputation with vendors than Titans and Hunters.”
How long has the problem been occurring? It is hard to say for sure how long the issue has existed. Some users claim that the problem has existed since the start of the “Guardian Games.”
The problem has likely been around at least since the release of the new expansion “The Final Shape” a month ago. Since that time, various users on Reddit have noticed it. Even though the bug is frustrating, players can look forward to something: Year 11 could finally free Destiny 2 players from the solar system

In South Korea, parents voluntarily isolate themselves in cells. They try to understand their children who have retreated into loneliness.
In South Korea, there is a trend: people voluntarily go into isolation to be alone. They wear plain, uniform clothing and spend days alone in a tiny, sparse cell that is not much larger than a wardrobe, foregoing company, phones, and other electronic devices.
The BBC has now spoken with female and male inmates who have retreated into this isolation.
And all have one thing in common: they are parents of young people who are either teenagers or in their thirties, who have turned away from society. In Korea, this is referred to as “Hikikomori.”
If dark thoughts plague you, you can reach out to the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 and 0800/11 0 22 – this is nationwide and free of charge.
Parents try to understand children who withdraw
Young people living in withdrawal, like the children of these parents, are referred to as “Hikikomori,” a term that was coined in the 1990s in Japan to describe the severe social withdrawal of adolescents and young adults.
Why are the youths doing this? One theory suggests that youths withdraw from society because the pressure in the working world is too high, and they do not want to arrive in this life because too many obstacles stand in their way before they can fulfill the tasks that society expects of them.
Other theories believe it may also be due to middle-class families being financially able to support an adult child – or it may relate to overly close bonds between mothers and children.
But why do these parents do this? The BBC spoke with two individuals who consciously entered this isolation. Both shared under the protection of anonymity that there are family reasons for what they do:
A mother has a son who lives withdrawn in his room and neglects his personal hygiene and nutrition.
A father has a son who decided seven years ago to cut off all contact with society. He rarely leaves his room and refuses to take the medication prescribed by his doctors.
The parents go into isolation to better empathize with the situation of their children and understand why they want to live so lonely and isolated.
Certain companies offer special programs where people are given the opportunity to isolate themselves. This also includes a special educational program funded by organizations such as the Korea Youth Foundation and the Blue Whale Recovery Centre.
The program has a clear goal: to show parents how they can better communicate with their children. It includes a unique experience, namely three days in which the participants stay in rooms modeled after an isolation cell.
Parents believe they understand their children better after isolation
Does it work? The interviewed individuals explained to the BBC that they can at least somewhat empathize with their children’s situation.
As the father questioned explained: “I asked myself what I did wrong… that is painful.” But now, after his time in the cell, he says he has gained “some clarity.”
The other person interviewed admitted that the solitary confinement helped her understand her son’s feelings: “I realized that it is important to accept his life without forcing him to fit into a certain mold,” she says.
In Elden Ring, you have to earn your way to the DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”. One of the bosses is called Mohg. Here you will find out where his location is and how to defeat him easily.
Where do I find Mohg? To find Mohg, the Bloodlord, and gain access to the DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”, you need to visit the mausoleum of the Mohgwyn dynasty in the underground Siofra. There are two ways to get to this location:
You complete the quest from Varré the Field Surgeon until he hands you the item “Medallion of the Pureblood Knight”.
Use the item to teleport to the area of the Bloodlord.
Search in the Sacred Snow Field northeast of the ruins of Yelough Anix for a bloody portal.
Defeat the bloodlord who haunts you as an intruder to activate the portal.
Now you must get through the bloody lake to reach the mausoleum. Many enemies, including bloodlords and corpses, are waiting to tear you apart.
If you have survived and made it to the top, you just need to take the last elevator to reach the fog wall that separates you from Mohg.

Mohg is not an easy boss, but now we will show you two strategies on how to defeat him comfortably.
Bleeding with the Halberd of the Dark Cavalry
How does the tactic work? Although Mohg goes into ecstasy when he causes living beings to bleed, he is very susceptible to bleeding himself. For the battle, you will need the following items:
Halberd of the Dark Cavalry
Location: You can find it near the “Church of Bellum” northeast of the Academy of Raya Lucaria
War Ash: Whirlwind Strikes
Location: Defeat Edgar in Castle Morne or at the Hut of the Avenger southwest of Raya Lucaria. Extract the War Ash from the Halberd you received from Edgar.
Blood Grease
Location: Can be crafted if you pick up the [6] manual of the nomadic warrior. The book is located on a corpse at Fort Haight, on the eastern edge of Limgrave.
Shard of Alexander (Talisman)
Location: Complete the quest of Alexander.
Carian Filigree Crest (Talisman)
Location: Can be purchased from Iji the Blacksmith.
Mohg’s Chain (Consumable)
Location: Guarded in Leyndell in the sewers by two giant lobsters. Use the site of grace “Underground Road” for this.
Also useful are the following items:
Flame, grant me strength! (Incantation)
Cooked Crab (Consumable)
It is best to find two more players to help you and distract Mohg or use the spirit ashes “Imitator’s Tear”. Now go to Mohg and use his chain. This item will temporarily nail him to the ground.
Now use your halberd smeared with blood grease and activate your whirlwind strikes. Mohg should then lose health so quickly that he performs his blood ritual and is occupied with it for a while. You continue to whirl around him until he dies from the damage of the weapon and your bleeding effects. This tactic requires several attempts but is a reliable method to defeat Mohg.
How does the tactic work? Another easy variant is to use a strong sorcerer build that utilizes Azur’s Comet. You will need the following items:
Azur’s Shimmerstone Crown
Location: Found southeast of the House of Volcano near the Hermit’s Village. Follow the quest of Sellen and collect the helm along with the armor at the remnants of Azur.
Azur’s Comet (Spell)
Location: Found southeast of the House of Volcano near the Hermit’s Village. Follow the quest of Sellen and collect the helm along with the armor at the remnants of Azur.
Terra Magica (Spell)
Location: You find the spell after completing the dungeon “Crystal Cave of the Academy”, which is located below the Academy at the western rock wall. Defeat the bosses, take an elevator, and open the chest with the spell in a tower.
Idol Mass Talisman
Location: You find it in the chest on the tower “Albinaurian Tower” eastward in the secret snowfield leading to Haligbaum.
Magical Scorpion Talisman
Location: Can be obtained if you help Seluvis with his quest.
Godfrey’s Icon
Location: Defeat the boss in the Seal Prison of the Golden Lineage.
Jellyfish Shield
Location: You find it north at the site of grace “Foot of the Four Bell Towers” on a broken cart.
Lusat’s Shimmerstone Staff
Location: Found north of the site of grace “Sellia’s Rise” after defeating two Nox Fighters. After the battle, open a chest nearby.
Sky-blue Secret Tears
Location: Defeat the Avatar of the Erdtree near the Village of the Frenzied Flame south of the site of grace “Great Lift of Dectus”.
Shattered Magic Veil Tears
Location: You find it at the Lower Erdtree on Mt. Gelmir when you defeat the boss nearby. The tree is located east of the House of Volcano.
Once you have everything gathered, you just need to cross the fog wall. Activate the spell “Terra Magica” and your Jellyfish Shield, and then drink your Flask of Wondrous Physick. Now use Azur’s Comet and keep firing at Mohg while he approaches you. You’ll see how quickly his health burns down.
These were the locations and our easy options on how to deal with Mohg, the Lord of Blood. The boss is tough, but there are always tactics and tips on how to bring Mohg to his knees. Do you have further tips or tricks for the tarnished in distress? Then feel free to leave a comment. Our colleagues at GameStar have created a useful booklet with 164 pages to optimally inform you about Elden Ring.

Not all secrets of Elden Ring have been uncovered for a long time. But new ones keep coming to light. A modder has now discovered a dungeon in the DLC that is missing from the finished game.
Which dungeon is it? Even in the DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, there are numerous larger and smaller dungeons again. Besides the imposing legacy dungeons, where bosses like Rellana or Messmer await at the end, there are also smaller ones.
These include catacombs or the new forges, of which there are three in the DLC. The first one that players will encounter on their journey of discovery is probably the “lavazulauf der ruinierten Schmiede” (lava flow of the ruined forge).
These dungeons are designed quite clearly and contain not only some enemies but also valuable rewards in the form of forging materials. Even the highest level stones can be found there. By the way, you can find a guide on forging in Elden Ring on MeinMMO.
As a modder and a YouTuber now show, FromSoftware has designed and implemented at least one more of these forge dungeons for the DLC.

The dungeon did not make it into the game
How was the dungeon found? The modder Grimrukh examined the game files of Elden Ring and found clues about the unused dungeon. This piqued the curiosity of YouTuber SekiroDubi, who loaded the level to take a closer look.
In a video on YouTube, you can see him traversing the entire dungeon. Level structures and enemies are present and remind of the other forges in the DLC. Only items are missing – even the valuable forging stones at the end of the dungeon.

The YouTuber shows the way through the forge in the video.
Overall, however, it feels more linear than its relatives. There are hardly any branches, and the path leads almost directly to the goal. There are some jumping passages where the player must jump over broken columns and rubble, but all in all, the dungeon seems rather unremarkable.
Why is the dungeon not in the game? YouTuber SekiroDubi explains in his video that he does not know where on the map the dungeon should have been located. It is smaller and simpler than the rest, and has less to offer. This is probably the reason why FromSoftware cut it.
In a long development process like that of Elden Ring and also the DLC, it is not unusual for content to be cut. But it is rare for them to come to light through crafty modders. What do you think about it? Feel free to let us know in the comments. The community has also discovered that a new weapon is incredibly strong – but it could soon be nerfed.

Scrubs was an incredibly popular show at its premiere, and it is still relevant in pop culture today. One of the most popular characters was originally just imaginary and a figment of J.D.’s mind. But the show was too good and continued.
What is Scrubs? In Scrubs, we follow the medical career of J.D., who is mainly known for his daydreams. The focus is on the everyday life in the hospital and the interaction of the many characters, such as Dr. Cox, Turk, Elliot, or Carla.
Scrubs is especially popular due to the mix of believable hospital life and incredibly absurd situations. The absurd situations often involve the janitor, played by Neil Flynn. However, he was originally just a figment of J.D.’s imagination.
Finally, you could see the Scrubs stars in a Super Bowl clip with Aquaman:

What was the original plan? Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs, originally planned only one season for Scrubs, as he did not know if the show would be well-received. Thus, the season finale was also meant to be the series finale. A clever thought, as even today shows are regularly canceled.
As Screen Rant reports, the big twist in the finale was supposed to be that J.D. was only imagining his greatest adversary, the janitor. You can still sense that plan within the first episodes, as the janitor only interacts with J.D.
Surprisingly, the show was popular and NBC extended the series. The actor playing the janitor then asked if he could also interact with the other actors. This happened, and the janitor became an important figure who had stories not just with J.D. He also formed a band or got married. One thing remained until the end: he was J.D.’s nemesis.
Scrubs was extremely successful and ended the series with 8 seasons. There is also a 9th season, but it is rather unpopular among fans and is actually a soft reboot with new characters and a university setting. Also, The Big Bang Theory is among the most well-known series of its time, but something else was planned: The Big Bang Theory: Before Penny, there was actually another female lead, but everyone found her terrible

At the CEO 2024 Fighting Game Championships, a tournament was held where players had to compete in Mortal Kombat 1. The lucky winner was awarded a small prize. However, he now probably has to pay it back to the tournament organizer – and dig deep into his piggy bank again.
What kind of tournament was it? Dyloch is the lucky winner of the Mortal Kombat 1 tournament. The opponents sat in a fighting ring, which had two chairs and the suitable hardware for gaming. The player was able to assert himself against his opponents and therefore won a prize of around 525 Euros.
Shortly after the victory, Dyloch was delighted and wanted to show it, but he made a fateful mistake. He threw his chair over the edge of the fighting ring and unfortunately hit a lamp belonging to the organizer. You can watch the scene in the following tweet:

Initially, it was said that the lamp was still intact. However, it would need some repairs, according to user UltraProductionGroup in the comments. Later, the tournament organizer himself spoke up and he had no good news for Dyloch.

What did the organizer demand? Alex Jebailey, the organizer of the tournament, inquired on X about Dyloch’s Paypal address. As he wrote, someone should be responsible for the damage to the lamp and it shouldn’t be him.

In a further tweet, he revealed that the lamp is worth about 2790 Euros. Accordingly, repairing the lamp that Dyloch destroyed with his chair throw is likely to be expensive.
Additionally, Jebailey issued a warning to all those who might dare to throw objects again in the future:
If one more person throws anything, you will be banned from all events that I ever conduct. This is a final warning to everyone in the future. Do not throw things.
What did Dyloch respond? Meanwhile, the affected Dyloch has reacted to the situation with a funny GIF. He posted a short clip of Donald Duck washing dishes furiously and added: “Me, after CEO was over.”

This likely refers to repairing the expensive lamp, for which he actually has no money and would therefore choose to wash dishes for the organizer instead. Either way, he shows with his reaction that he stands by his hasty action and will probably cover the damage.
Since May, players have been able to play the Ubisoft shooter XDefiant. Now, the CoD competitor is entering its first season and has a major update with it.
What kind of game is it? XDefiant is a shooter from Ubisoft that heavily borrows from Call of Duty. One unique aspect, particularly appreciated by fans of the older CoD titles, is the absence of SBMM (Skill Based Matchmaking), which has been deliberately omitted. In normal rounds, beginners and pros compete against each other.
Here you can watch the trailer for Season 1 of XDefiant:
Start video
XDefiant shows all the important things from Season 1 in a new trailer
The German police is also in the game now
What new features are there? For the first season, the developers of XDefiant have come up with a variety of changes for the game. The most significant addition is likely the new faction called GSK. This stands for Border Protection Command and is a unit from Rainbow Six, inspired by the German police.
The faction has two different classes with different tools.
One class has a shock barbed wire to block opponents’ paths.
The other class has an active defense system that intercepts grenades and other explosive items from opponents.
Both classes of the faction wear a ballistic helmet that reduces headshot damage. Additionally, both classes have a ballistic shield as their ultimate ability. The shield can not only block bullets from opponents, but it can also blind enemies if they get too close.
The first season also brings new skins.
What other new features does the season offer? The first season of XDefiant also brings three new maps. At the start of the season, only the map Clubhouse is new. However, two more maps are set to follow during the season:
Daytona – a map set on a racetrack.
Rockefeller – a map set in the famous Rockefeller Plaza and even features the well-known decorated Christmas tree.
In addition to the new maps, there is a new battle pass with free weapons like the assault rifle LVOA-C or a sawed-off shotgun as a secondary weapon.
Additionally, weapons can now be leveled up higher and there is a new ranked mode that also offers rewards for players.
What is this new game mode? Since the first public test of XDefiant, fans have been longing for the cult game mode Capture The Flag. Over a year ago, the first user asked about the mode on Reddit. With the first season of the shooter, fan wishes have been heard and the mode is coming as a new feature in the game.
In this game mode, your team must steal the enemy flag and defend your own flag. The first team to steal four enemy flags and securely deliver them to the drop-off point wins the game. The major update will also bring new players to the game. Whether they will stay long is unclear; recently, the XDefiant community discussed whether the game might be too “sweaty”: Players fear XDefiant is too sweaty for casual players, but part of the community appreciates it

340 hours. That’s how much time MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has already invested in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous on Steam. And there will be a lot more, as the second playthrough has just begun and a third is already in planning. Why would one subject themselves to such painfully massive games?
Actually, I don’t play games more than once, mainly because most of my favorite games take a long time. And the pile of shame keeps growing. I still haven’t finished Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3 …
Upon finishing my first playthrough, I had nearly 250 hours logged. Now, 2 weeks later, I’m over 350 hours. And I’m far from done: While I already know the story and the secret ending, several things totally captivate me.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous celebrates its final DLC in June
The second playthrough is even better than the first – even though I know the story
Of course, the main story of Wrath of the Righteous doesn’t change. The same enemies, the same threats, the same plot twists. So why is the game pulling me in for a second time?
Spoiler warning, even though the game is a few years old: I will talk about some content that isn’t available to everyone and that is partially hidden. While these aren’t major story spoilers, the content isn’t entirely obvious either.
In Wrath of the Righteous, there are legend paths. You play something akin to demigods on the path to omnipotence and manifest your legendary powers as angels, demons, tricksters, or whatever else.
My first character was a lich, inherently inclined towards evil. Accordingly, the game developed:
Some of the “good” companions left me or didn’t even join me to begin with.
Others I completely corrupted, turning them into the worst versions of themselves.
Still others cannot be recruited as a non-lich because… well, the people should actually be dead.
The entire story and my crusade were focused on undead and the power of death. Even my armies ended up being replaced by cyborgs, skeletons, and zombies.
Now I am playing a lawful-neutral Aion, a kind of completely neutral judge who honors only the law and nothing else. So when I have to execute a drug dealer because the law says so – he just shouldn’t have messed up.
That now opens entirely different paths for me than when I was a lich. Other companions follow me, shedding new light on circumstances I already knew and my people look up to me very differently. It feels like a different story.
This is how my first character looked at the end of her journey.This is my current go-to troop.Don’t ask why a 5-meter tall devil is standing in my consulting room…
DLCs are great, but the patches are the star
Over the years, many DLCs were added, such as “The Last Sarkosians” and with it a new companion: Ulbrig, one of the legendary barbarians from a fallen empire. I didn’t have Ulbrig back then either, he brings with his class a new playstyle and some new comments on content that previously seemed somewhat empty.
While I have some new content to explore with the DLCs over time, they are not even the highlight for me. More important are the free patches that were released in the same timeframe.
Since release, heaps of bugs have been fixed, balance adjusted, and the quality of many contents improved. Still, not everything runs smoothly, but compared to before, Pathfinder is now playing really well.
Still, I occasionally help out with the Toybox, basically using “cheats,” because some bugs simply detract from the fun of the game or make battles unnecessarily difficult …
I now enjoy my second playthrough much more than my first. Not only do I have an eye for the details that I missed before, but I also understand the terribly complex Pathfinder much better now.
Some rules and mechanics like combat maneuvers, group talents, and stackable buffs I had either neglected before or built around, because as a beginner, there was hardly any other way – except on very easy difficulty. And honestly: I don’t laugh at anyone who plays for the “story,” Pathfinder is really complicated.
Now I am creating my own builds and I am looking forward to everything that is to come. I know I still have easily another 100, maybe even 200 hours ahead of me. After all, I already know the end and can estimate what I still need to accomplish. Almost like a good book, where I can see exactly how many pages are still ahead of me. But I will also need that time because it will take a while until the next blockbuster arrives: For 10 years, I was worried about the next part of my favorite RPG – now it looks better than hoped

Helldivers 2 is currently experiencing a slump. Player numbers on Steam have reached a low point, and fans of the shooter can easily relate to this.
What kind of slump is this? Helldivers 2 was one of the hype games at the beginning of the year alongside the survival game Palworld, delighting hundreds of thousands of players. The co-op shooter reached a peak of just over 458,000 on Steam in February, but it has been steadily declining since then.
By June 2024, Helldivers had only a peak of about 91,700 players on Steam, with an average of 40,400 people on the servers. In February, an average of 274,000 players plunged into the galactic war (via SteamCharts).
Looking at the average player numbers, Helldivers 2 has thus lost around 85% of its players since February – and currently, there are no signs that the downward trend could stop.

Fans can understand the drop in player numbers
What do fans say about the slump? Many players can relate to the current slump. However, for many it is not due to any issues, such as the fiasco with the PlayStation accounts, but rather the lack of new content.
For example, the user “SilicaBags” writes on Reddit: “I haven’t avoided the game in protest against anything. I’m just bored and have no reason to start it other than to spend MO medals [Note: MO= Major Order].”
The player “Dyyrin” takes a similar stance in his comment and says: “I plan to return when new factions come. I’m tired of defending the same planets and fighting the same two factions.” Over 2,200 users show their agreement with an upvote.
Another user writes on Reddit: “Unfortunately, it became boring for me way too quickly. I haven’t even reached max level, but I lost interest in the grind.”
How could Helldivers turn things around? Palworld currently shows that a larger update can at least partially bring players back. While the survival game had a peak of just under 45,000 players in May, the “Sakurajima Update” released at the end of June boosted those numbers to 143,000 players.
In Call of Duty and other shooters, there are tons of crazy skins these days. A player claims that Fortnite is to blame.
What kind of discussion is this? Shooters like Call of Duty, PUBG, and The Finals offer numerous skins today that players can buy or unlock for their characters and weapons. Many of these skins are… extraordinary.
Shooters have long since abandoned a purely realistic, grim, or even tactical aesthetic. Many players not only have colorful skins but also completely bizarre costumes.
A new bundle for Call of Duty could take the absurdity of today’s skins to the next level. A player criticizes this development on X.com and blames Fortnite: “The damage that Fortnite has unintentionally done to the aesthetics of multiplayer games is irreversible.”
The post has already received over “44,000 likes” and thus finds much approval among shooter players on X.com.
The next CoD will be Black Ops 6, here you can see a trailer:

Chicken skin annoys players
What kind of damage does the player mean? Fortnite has been characterized for years by collaborations and more or less crazy skins. For users, Epic Games’ battle royale shooter has set the stage for absurd skins in other games as well.
In the comments under his post, he clarifies that he has nothing against Fortnite. He is merely talking about the influence that Fortnite has had on the aesthetics of other games through its skins. He describes this influence as: “Ahh yes, let’s equip every game with such strange and bizarre cosmetics until everything is just a big blob of indistinguishable mush.”
The criticism is therefore: Fortnite has successfully sold quirky skins and other games have adopted this, thus exchanging their own style for the Fortnite aesthetic.
Which skin is it specifically about? The X.com user and dataminer “realityuk” posted a video on the social network on June 29, 2024, showing a new skin and weapon inspection – including an elaborate animation.
The skin is reportedly called “Extra Crispy”. In the inspection animation, the player sticks a chicken onto the barrel of the “HCR 56” and cooks it by firing the weapon. Subsequently, the finished roasted chicken is eaten by the character.
You can see the absurd animation on X.com:

If you play Call of Duty on a PC or console, however, according to the dataminer, you have nothing to fear: Extra Crispy is only supposed to appear for the mobile version of the shooter. If the leaker is to be believed, the crazy skin will be released on July 18, 2024.
How do you get the skin? According to “realityuk,” you cannot simply buy the bundle in the shop; it is only available through a so-called Lucky Draw. A “Lucky Draw” is the random drawing of an item in Call of Duty: Mobile. The system is similar to a wheel-of-fortune mechanic. You spin the wheel and the game randomly determines which item you receive.
You must purchase a spin of the “Lucky Draw.” The price doubles after each spin. After a maximum of ten spins, you will receive all items. The converted price of a content can be over a hundred euros depending on the package if a player needs all ten spins for the desired item.
In the meantime, you can also play the battle royale shooter Call of Duty: Warzone on mobile devices; Warzone Mobile was released in March 2024. In the Android and iOS version, you can even level up the weapons from the PC and console version: CoD Warzone: You can now level your weapons even if you’re not at home

At the end of June, the disgraced influencer Anissa “Anni The Duck” Baddour surprised everyone with a last-minute stream on Twitch. It was received poorly and could now lead to further difficulties for her.
What is the current situation surrounding Anni The Duck? In early May, allegations were made against the Twitch streamer by her former best friend Mowky. More and more online personalities joined in. This developed into a huge scandal that cost Anni The Duck sponsors and ultimately led to the end of her career.
However, on the evening of June 28, 2024, the streamer unexpectedly returned to Twitch. In the stream, she denied allegations of mistreating her cats, spoke about death threats against her, and announced that she would be moving back to Germany.
Additionally, Anni The Duck reported that she was working on herself in therapy. The stream received mixed reviews: while the streamer’s community was happy and welcomed her with subs, users on social media viewed the comeback more critically.
After Mowky, the Twitch streamer Reved, who had been in a relationship with Anni The Duck, spoke up:

Reved explains on Twitch how much she suffered in the relationship with Anni The Duck
Harsh judgment from Mowky: “Spoke crap for 2.5 hours”
What does Mowky have to say? The streamer is apparently really angry. She accuses her former friend of having “talked crap for 2.5 hours.” The problem is apparently not that Anni The Duck tried for a comeback.
Mowky compares her to the American streamer SSSniperwolf, who gets “canceled every two weeks” – comebacks are perfectly fine since somehow one has to earn money. The Twitch streamer explains that Anni The Duck could have just talked about football, as she did later in the stream.
However, Mowky is displeased that she denied and downplayed the allegations against her instead. In her eyes, this behavior nullifies Anni The Duck’s final statement. In that statement, the streamer had apologized for her actions and seemed to admit mistakes. “I slowly feel completely taken for a fool,” Mowky said.
You can still find the entire stream on the Twitch channel of Mowky. A compilation can be found in the video of opinion blogger AlphaKevin:

These consequences Mowky draws: As the Twitch streamer explains, she wants to produce an elaborate video in which she apparently intends to provide evidence for alleged dishonesty from Anni The Duck. What she has said so far is supposedly just “the tip of the iceberg.”
Mowky emphasizes that it is not about revenge for her, but about justice: after all, an attempt was made to destroy her life. The Twitch streamer has not yet revealed what exactly in Anni The Duck’s stream was “bullshit.” However, she promises that after her video, it will be understandable why she is so angry.
A hunter in World of Warcraft defeats one of the toughest raid bosses from the current content. Many guilds and raid groups have long struggled with this.
The last raid of World of Warcraft Dragonflight was Amirdrassil, Hope of the Dream. The raid was considered one of the hardest ever in WoW by professional guilds as well as many less ambitious groups. This was mainly due to the last two bosses – Tindral Raschweise and Fyrakk.
Particularly Tindral was seen as an insurmountable wall for many raids, where there simply was no way to progress. It is all the more astonishing that a hunter has now soloed the boss.
The latest story video from WoW:

WoW: Dark Heart – The Search for the Harbinger
What an achievement! Defeating Tindral Raschweise has not been easy for many raids – at all difficulty levels. The boss is considered mechanically quite challenging. There are numerous effects that must be avoided, as well as multiple DPS checks and fast reactions, where the entire group must act quickly, for example, to prevent the sprouting of burning seed pods.
An achievement that should seem nearly impossible for a single hero. Yet the hunter Durendil has succeeded. He has defeated Tindral Raschweise on normal difficulty all by himself (with the help of his animal companions).

How did Durendil manage this? With a lot, a lot of time. Most of it went into planning. Because Tindral regularly deals an immense amount of damage that makes the correct use of defensive cooldowns necessary. Beast Mastery hunters have relatively low self-healing and also scale poorly with life steal, as most of the damage is dealt by their companions.
Durendil had to perfectly synchronize his cooldowns with the boss’s abilities to just barely survive the various mechanics.
Interestingly: Durendil is, as the video proves, a “clicker”. He selects abilities individually with the mouse rather than binding them to hotkeys. This is generally frowned upon in the MMO community, and often the first tip given to players who want to improve is: “Use hotkeys!” That Durendil has succeeded despite being a clicker may encourage some. Because this achievement is not something someone will replicate easily.
Records are currently falling in WoW anyway, especially due to WoW: Remix. Some people manage to complete dungeons in record time. A particularly impressive feat: Scholomance in under 12 seconds.

The Thing from Another World is regarded as a great film classic in the realm of science fiction and horror. The film primarily revolves around deception and isolation. If the main character had been able to speak Norwegian, the movie would have been over much quicker.
Attention Spoiler: The following article discusses the twist of The Thing from Another World.
What is The Thing from Another World about?
A team of scientists is researching in Antarctica
An alien that has escaped from the ice threatens the scientists at the research station
The isolation and the alien’s ability to transform into living beings create the horror
John Carpenter directed the film, and it ranks among his best works alongside films like Halloween, Escape from New York, and Big Trouble in Little China. Especially in the areas of body horror and cosmic horror, The Thing from Another World is an important representative.
The main role in the film is played by Kurt Russell, who portrays the scientist MacReady. If MacReady had been able to understand Norwegian, The Thing from Another World would have been over in just a few minutes.
The Thing from Another World – Trailer for the Sci-Fi Classic by John Carpenter
The Dog is Not a Dog
Why Norwegian? At the beginning of the film, the group encounters two Norwegian pilots who have crashed, of whom only one has survived. Instead of seeking help for his injuries, the Norwegian pilot attempts to shoot a dog with his weapon.
He screams at the group in Norwegian while trying to kill the dog. However, the scientists do not understand and kill the Norwegian. This happens around 8:20 minutes into the film. After that, the great horror begins at the research station.
If the scientists had been proficient in Norwegian, they would have understood that the Norwegian was screaming: The thing is not a dog! It is a thing that imitates a dog! The words are also not translated for the audience, leaving them in the dark too.
The great horror in the film arises mainly from the aspect that the monster can truly be any living being or person, and that the characters are isolated in the cold at the research station. This creates a pervasive paranoia among the researchers.
The Pit is a new endgame activity in Diablo 4 that can be quite challenging. It’s not necessarily the bosses that stress some players the most, but apparently the spiders.
With Patch 1.4.2, affixes and the damage of the bosses were adjusted to match the difficulty level of the dungeon corresponding to the pit level. However, players are now complaining about completely different enemies on Reddit.

Diablo 4 Season 4 “Loot Reborn” in the gameplay trailer
What enemies are the players complaining about?On Reddit, “Darth-Jaybles” asked the Diablo 4 community on July 1 if he was the only one who wanted to quit a pit run as soon as he sees spiders in the first room. He is not “arachnophobic or anything,” but the constant slowdowns and poison are just unpleasant.
In the comments, various users discuss the most annoying enemies in the Pit. “TheGantrithor” agrees with the post’s creator:
I feel the same way. But there are two types of spiders. The first type isn’t so bad because they throw a web that kind of spreads out. But the second type is a disaster. They throw TRIPLE webs like artillery with precision and in an arc that can hit you from across the room and even off-screen. […] Dodging is almost impossible.
And even WORSE is that every map that has spiders also has the corpse archers. It’s just a mess of getting sniped and consuming potions.
I immediately log out and reset when I see those spiders. Waste of time. It’s not a question of whether they will kill me, but when.
What enemies annoy other players? In the comments, some people agree with “Darth-Jaybles”. Others mention snakes, especially because of the poison – similar to the spiders. Despite maximum resistance, the damage can be significant and take away a lot of health. If attacks, such as nets that slow down or immobilize the character, are added, it can become dangerous. Snakes could also play a role in “Vessel of Hatred,” the first expansion for Diablo 4.
“bitemejackass” writes: “Seriously, these snakes are really annoying. I hate the poisonous ones, but the ones with lightning damage are even worse. I just walk away when I see lightning snakes. No one has time for this lightning snake nonsense.” And “bigmanorm” replies that he is convinced that resistance against lightning does not work.
For “Korghal,” there is nothing worse than a snake oracle with lightning damage: “You get distracted for a moment, and suddenly you’re dead because three beams turn you to ash.” And “bitemejackass” responds: “Ugh, yes, they are the worst. I see them and know that I’ll be dead in a second, no matter what I do.”
The Straw Hat Pirates have now appeared in a total of 15 movies. The latest parts of the One Piece movies have even made it into German cinemas. On IMDb, fans have been able to rate all the films. MeinMMO presents to you which films performed particularly well and which films are at the bottom of the ranking.
The One Piece movies have ventured various experiments over the years. Some had a unique art style, others are simple repetitions of certain arcs, and the newest one is even half a musical.
Some of the experiments were better received, while others were worse. MeinMMO reveals how the community rates the films on IMDb and who lands on the winner’s podium.
By the way: There is currently only one film that is offered for streaming:
One Piece Film: Red – Available for streaming on Netflix
For the other films, you currently have no choice but to get the DVDs or Blu-rays. If you are generally looking for good anime films, you must not miss these five blockbusters.

The action RPG Last Epoch has had a tough time: Over 250,000 players have turned their backs on the game. But now the developers are announcing fresh content with a new update that brings one of the best features from Diablo 4.
What does the new update bring? Last Epoch will receive the new content update 1.1 Harbingers of Ruin on July 9, 2024. This follows the game’s own roadmap and brings a lot of fresh content.
Among other things, you can look forward to the following:
Harbingers
New boss enemies within the Monolith of Fate
Forgotten Knights Faction
The more Harbingers you defeat, the higher your reputation will be in this new faction
Pinnacle Boss: Aberroth
Once you have defeated all Harbingers, you will unlock this new boss
Evade – in English Dodge

A new item that gives you more Gaze of Orobyss when used
Especially the new maneuver Dodge is likely to please players. According to the developers’ blog post, it is one of the most requested skills and has long been an essential part of the big competitor Diablo 4.
Here is the trailer for the update:

With patch 1.1, Last Epoch brings new bosses, factions, and more
Fallen Hard: Last Epoch has recently lost a massive number of players
What are the current player numbers? At launch in February 2024, Last Epoch started with over 258,000 players. In March, the numbers still held steady, before dropping to 28,000 in April.
Since then, the player numbers have steadily decreased. The current 24-hour peak stands at 4,030 concurrent players, according to SteamCharts:
Last Epoch Steam Charts 02.07.2024
Update 1.1 is the first patch since the release. Experience shows that player numbers usually increase significantly afterward. Recently, the survival game Palworld experienced this: With the release of the new update around Sakurajima, the numbers jumped from about 20,000 daily players to a new 24-hour peak of over 124,000 according to Steam Charts.
The developers of Last Epoch will also hope for many returning players.
What’s next for Last Epoch? The official roadmap of the game shows patches 1.1 to 1.4. With 1.2, Primal Hunt endgame content will go live, 1.3 will bring a Monolith of Fate expansion, and 1.4 will shine with a transmog system, new bosses, and new skill sigils.
Five months have now passed since the initial release and the first patch. If the developers maintain the update cycle, you can expect the next patches in December 2024, May 2025, and October 2025.

A new week begins in Destiny 2, which also means a new patch. Bungie is taking its servers down for update 8.0.0.6 to refresh its loot shooter a little bit. Here’s what you should know about the downtime.
Update, 7:12 PM: The patch notes for patch 8.0.0.6 have now been released, and the update is also here. You need to download 344.6 MB on the PS5. We’ve added the patch notes for you at the bottom of the post. After the download, you can log back in. Have a nice evening!
Here’s what you need to know today: Bungie is once again taking its servers down for standard maintenance. This time, the Iron Banner is set to start again and draw its players into PvP. However, before you can wave the banner, a downtime must first be endured. You can find out how long this will last and what changes are occurring here.
Start video
Destiny 2 shows the launch trailer for The Final Shape
Maintenance on 07/02 – All times for server downtime
These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact downtime. It is planned that the servers will be unreachable today for 3 hours and 15 minutes.
This is the schedule for maintenance:
At 3:00 PM, background maintenance starts on all platforms.
At around 3:45 PM, the servers go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
At 7:00 PM, the shooter should be back online, and you can log back in.
The maintenance will continue in the background until 9:00 PM.
Things to consider during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance is ongoing, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, there can occasionally be queues during login because Bungie only gradually releases access to the servers to avoid problems caused by too much server load. Therefore, it may take longer for you to get back into the game.
What changes with the new update in Episode: Echos
The following problems are known: There are also many issues in The Final Shape that players are complaining about. Bungie is aware of some of them, but it is not known which ones will be fixed (via bungie.net). However, the following bugs could be addressed:
PC players who have 3D audio enabled cannot hear any sound
The pop-up “Leaving for The Final Shape” has the wrong key art
When prism hunters activate their new ultimate while swinging, they fall
The hunter aspect that increases your Blade Barrage ultimate does not work
The description of the Arc Staff ultimate of the hunter does not mention a blinding effect after a three-combo or slam attack
What’s in the patch notes? A complete overview of all fixed issues and improvements will only be available later today or this afternoon, after the update has gone live.
We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. Because it’s possible that the patch notes will change or be corrected by Bungie afterwards.
That’s all the information about today’s update for now. If there are any unforeseen changes, we will, of course, keep you updated. So feel free to check back. Until then, we recommend this article about Destiny 2 on MeinMMO: Bungie promises: Destiny 2 will continue with 9 content drops per year

The movie Titanic is now 27 years old and continues to generate good money for its cast and crew even today. A child actor revealed how much money he still earns for just one single line.
Which actor is it about? The actor who has now talked about his earnings from Titanic is Reece Thompson. The actor, born in 1988 in Vancouver, was 9 years old in the 1997 released film.
Thompson speaks in exactly one scene: While the ship is already sinking, he asks his mother, What are we doing, Mom? She then explains to him that the first-class passengers are boarding the lifeboats and they want to be ready when it’s time for them from the third class.
Unfortunately, the little family does not survive the disaster.
The movie is now over 27 years old. This trailer was released for the 25th anniversary:
Start video
English trailer for the 25th anniversary of Titanic
How much did the film bring him? During production, no one suspected what a blockbuster the film would become. According to Statista.com, the earnings are now over 2.2 million US dollars. For Reece Thompson, that meant a hefty salary at the time:
In addition to his pay for his hours on set, he received an additional 30,000 dollars because the film grossed so much at the box office. Over the following years, he continued to receive checks in the four-digit range repeatedly.
By now, the checks have dropped to the hundred-dollar range. He says about it: It’s strange, because I don’t think about it anymore. I don’t wonder: ‘Oh, when will I get the next Titanic check?’ Rather, it’s more like: ‘Oh, cool, another 100 dollars.’
Specifically, he now receives between 100 and 250 dollars a year.
How is the film still generating money? Movies generate income through their release from various sources. This often starts with the cinema release, followed by the release on VHS, DVD, and later Blu-ray. Sometimes there are also theatrical re-releases.
Depending on the contractual situation, individuals involved in the film receive a bonus based on a share of the earnings. As a film like Titanic ends up generating revenue over the years through various formats and eventually streaming, this continually creates earnings that are eligible for bonuses.
This way, even actors in supporting roles like Thompson still receive small amounts for their performances in the film years later.

In Tarisland, a new in-game event has started with the Food Festival. MeinMMO tells you how to cook, share dishes, and find the Gourmet Chests.
Update: We updated this guide on July 2 at 5:00 PM.
The first in-game event, the Food Festival, has started in Tarisland. Until July 3, 2024, you can try your hand at cooking and earn exclusive rewards. The Food Festival is the first seasonal event in Tarisland. MeinMMO summarizes all the important details about the world event.
How does the Food Festival work? You can access the “Food Festival” tab through the event icon (the cornucopia). A glance is enough to see that the different activities of the event will unlock gradually.
Through the event, you will gain access to new buff food recipes that will provide you with more health, attack power, or other value increases. Additionally, there are rainbow candies that you can exchange for rewards at the food vendor, as well as a carrot pendant.

The cinematic trailer for the launch of Tarisland:

Tarisland: Trailer for the global launch shows cinematic class action
Task 1: Cook Dishes
In every town, food trucks have appeared where you can cook special dishes. Travel to the central square of Silver City and then head up the northern stairs to complete the first task at the food truck located there: Cook a dish.
However, you first need to find the appropriate ingredients, and you can buy barbecue sauce from nearby Manny Dodo for a few silver coins, Manny Max at the Ancash tribe provides the soup pot, and you can get rosemary from Manny Biggs in the Misty Forest.
You will find out what you need exactly from the cookbook on the event page or if you select “Cook Delicacies” at the food truck.
You can find nuts and honey near Tara’s farm.
Hover over an ingredient, and you will find out where to get the item. Click on Source to teleport yourself near the farming area. You can find nuts and honey near Tara’s farm on the outskirts of Silver City. For eagle meat, you need to defeat Parker enemies on the small island east of Quellkamm City (also on the outskirts).
With the ingredients, head back to the food truck. Select “Cook Delicacies,” start the cooking process via “Cook,” and click the mouse to maintain the temperature at the desired level. In between, you’ll also have to pass a small reaction test. If you succeed, this task will be completed.
Task 2: Share Dishes
In the next step, you should share a festival meal with a special person. Go to Maeve Iron Elbow, who is standing to the left of the food truck. She will tell you which dish to bring her. Once you’ve done that, a timer will start. Two new interface displays will open simultaneously.
While cooking, you must successfully complete a small mini-game.
One of the displays tells you which player character to bring the food to, and you can whisper to that character directly in the chat through the element. The other display gives you access to a skill that you need to use near the character to share the food.
Since the character could be anywhere in the vicinity, it’s a good idea to send them a friendly whisper and invite them to a group after a short chat. This way you should find each other quickly. If the timer runs out before you complete the task, you can start another attempt with Maeve.
Task 3: Collect a Gourmet Chest
Participate in an elite dungeon or the “Arcane Realms” content to be rewarded with a Gourmet Chest. Once you’ve collected it, you can claim the next 20 rainbow candies on the event page.
The Food Festival unlocks gradually.
Task 4: Find a Gourmet Chest
The God of Cooking has placed Gourmet Chests in certain areas around the city’s outskirts. Find one and retrieve its contents. There are a total of twelve chests, four in each explorable region. What the event page doesn’t tell you: You need the corresponding dish in pure quality in your inventory to be able to open the respective Gourmet Chest.
The easiest way is to get the chest at the Ancash tribe. Teleport to the village center and then head northwest up the road towards the chief’s house. To the left behind the house is a watchtower with the chest on it. You should be able to reach it with a magical staircase or a daring jump with your mount. But make sure to pack Sour Wild Wolf Soup (pure) beforehand!
The red circle shows you the location of perhaps the easiest-to-find Gourmet Chest.
Task 5: Join the Gourmet Party
The Gourmet Party is a mini-game in Tarisland where you take on the role of a small creature and must eat lots of cake. The more cake you eat, the heavier you become. Once you have eaten some cake, you can get weighed. Depending on your weight, you will receive rainbow candies as rewards.
Be cautious of other players, as heavier beings can eat you, making them even larger. So watch out for who is following you and get weighed in time, or you might lose all of your weight.
The event is only active at 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM. There can often be issues with the game time, so it’s also possible that the event starts at 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
Gourmet Chest, where the Gourmet Party starts.
Task 6: Defend the Gourmet Feast
The Gourmet Feast has also started now. As long as the event is still running, thieves will come every day at 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM that need to be stopped. It can also happen that the event starts at 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM, even if the display in the game shows otherwise.
What can you get for rainbow candies?
From Manny Max at the Ancash tribe, you can get:
Superior Soup Stew for 1x Rainbow Candy
Title Soup Master for 20x Rainbow Candies
At Manny Dodo in Silver City, you can purchase the following items:
Best Barbecue Sauce for 1x Rainbow Candy
Food Container of the Divine Chef for 10x Rainbow Candies
That sounds cool, what do I need to know about Tarisland? Tarisland is a theme park MMORPG that focuses heavily on dungeons and raids and has been released with a free-to-play model for PC as well as mobile. There is no console version or controller support.
