The Twitch streamer Dantes primarily showcases League of Legends and has fully committed to the grind. He even sacrificed his relationship for it.
What kind of streamer is he? Dantes, also known as Doaenel, is one of the larger League of Legends streamers on Twitch. His channel regularly ranks among the 20 most-watched for the game, with an average of 2,000 to 3,000 viewers (via SullyGnome).
Dantes is known for his dedication to the grind: he streams an average of 6 times a week for about 8.5 hours each time (via TwitchTracker). In August 2023, he drew attention when he streamed for 194 hours in just 10 days and reached the Challenger rank on the notoriously tough South Korean servers.
Now, this dedication has apparently cost him his relationship.

Streamer says he is not ready for a relationship
What is behind the breakup? In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Dantes announced the end of his relationship with Twitch streamer Laura “Laurinchhhe”. The streamer explained that he is simply not ready for a relationship.
He told his partner from the beginning that his career was his top priority, Dantes said. She also supported him in everything and was “everything [he] ever wanted.” However, relationships are about compromises.
The streamer explains that it was mentally taxing for him to see his girlfriend putting her own life and career on hold to support him while he couldn’t do the same for her.
“I have come to the realization that the foundation of what relationships are was nothing that I could/wanted to do, and that is why I made the decision to end things.”
The post was seen by more than 73 million users. In the comments, many cannot understand why he would give up his relationship for a video game.
Ex-girlfriend cries on stream
On the same day, Laurinchhhe appeared distraught in a stream on her Twitch channel. In tears, she shared how she experienced the breakup. Fortunately, the streamer said, they were currently visiting Berlin, where her family lives. However, her belongings are still with Dantes in Canada.
She is currently trying to organize her move. Since then, Laurinchhhe has not been live. Dantes, on the other hand, is already back on Twitch and grinding in LoL.
Even though this case might be extreme, many gamers have probably experienced that excessive gaming can negatively impact romantic relationships. In other cases, however, League of Legends can also bring people together and playing together can strengthen the relationship.

With Season 5, some changes are coming to Diablo 4, including “Quality of Life” improvements. One of them seems to excite many players the most at the moment.
Some changes affect the bosses in the endgame of Diablo 4, and players already see this as a “big win.” The community shares their joy in a post on Reddit, with some players stating: This has been long overdue.
Season 5 will run until the release of “Vessel of Hatred,” the first expansion for Diablo 4, which starts on October 8. Here you can see the bloody cinematic trailer:

“Quality of Life” Changes to the Bosses
What is Blizzard changing? The developers of Diablo 4 are changing a few mechanics related to bosses in the endgame in Season 5:
Currently, it is necessary to leave the dungeon and reset after the boss fight. This costs time and is cumbersome, especially in group play. With Season 5, this will change, and you can summon the boss again immediately. The altar is supposed to spawn after you defeat the boss.
To summon “The Beast in Ice,” you currently need to craft and activate a Nightmare Seal for the “Glacier Chasm.” Due to the setting of the Nightmare Dungeon, you can respawn a maximum of four times, which can be particularly tight in the “Tormented” version at level 200. However, starting with Season 5, you should be able to summon the beast with mats like the other bosses.
Currently, you need four body parts to summon Varshan in his Malignant form. From Season 5, you will only need one.
Specifically, the fundamental change to boss fights and leaving the dungeons seems to please players. During a YouTube livestream on June 21, the developers noted that they had often been asked about this feature.
“It didn’t respect my time”
What does the community say about it? On Reddit, “vagrantwade” writes on June 21: “Bosses can be resummoned after being killed in Season 5! We have won!” The post has already gathered over 1,000 upvotes (as of June 22, 5 PM). Various users express their thoughts on the topic in the comments.
The top comment, with over 360 upvotes, comes from “InfectiousPineapple.” He writes: “This is a damn big win and probably what I’m most looking forward to in the next season.” And “Cranked78” believes it is “long overdue; the old system was pointless.
“This and the fact that the beast in ice will then function like the other bosses is so satisfying,” writes “N8CCRG.” And “SerWulf” adds: “It should have been added mid-season, but better late than never.”
User “Nelwyn420” notes that he will grind the bosses next season. He never manages more than 20 runs because his time is not respected here. “Amelaclya1” agrees, writing: “This is such a big ‘Quality of Life’ change […]. Right now, I’m bored after 5 runs.”
The changes to the bosses are expected to be available on the PTR (Public Test Realm). In the last “Campfire Chat” livestream on June 21, the developers already provided important information about the features coming with Season 5 in Diablo 4. Many of them can be tested on the test server. The patch notes for the PTR are also already available. We have summarized the highlights for you: Diablo 4: With patch 1.5.0, many of you will be able to test Season 5 on the PTR in a few days

Raph Koster (Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies) has been working with other veterans on a sandbox-MMO for years. Now, there’s a sign of life in the form of a countdown and a teaser for an upcoming community Q&A.
What kind of sandbox MMO is this?Playable Worlds was first introduced in 2019. The studio of the same name has been around since 2018. With this project, the team aims to create a digital, dynamic world that feels alive and where the community is at the center of everything.
Imagine Ultima Online, just significantly more challenging, modern, and engaging – that’s the promise. Powered by complex simulations and AI tools. Sounds rather cryptic, right? Well, that’s because nothing tangible has been shown to the public over the years.
However, various investors who have poured millions of US dollars into the project during the development process probably know more. In April 2022, a whopping 25 million US dollars was raised in one shot. Additionally, there were scattered quotes such as the one from Mark Laursen, founder and CEO of Bright Star Studios (via X): “Epic presentation. This is truly next-level material.”

Playable Worlds remains cryptic
What news is there? For a few days now, a kind of countdown has been ticking down on the studio’s social channels (e.g., via X) in the form of questions meant to illustrate how the world of Playable Worlds could function:
What if … you could actually invent new things in an MMO?
What if … there were a way to discover secrets in an MMO – and no simple wiki provides you with all the answers?
What if … it rained and puddles formed that freeze overnight?
What if … the game would reward you for peaceful gameplay?
What if … you could be admired and become famous in an MMO for more than just your character level or raid skills?
What if … you could simply change your opinion about who your character is?
What if … you could walk through grass to leave a trace if you did it often enough?
What if … exploring in an MMO actually mattered (for you and others)?
What if … MMOs actually fulfilled the dreams we once had for them?
What if … an MMO actually allowed you to reshape the landscape?

What’s behind the countdown? On June 21, 2024, there was an announcement on the studio’s official website (via playableworlds.com) that an Ask-Me-Anything session in the MMORPG section of Reddit is planned for June 28, 2024.
Who’s behind Playable Worlds? None other than studio founder and CEO Raph Koster is expected to provide the answers during the AMA session. You might already know Koster; after all, he was the lead designer of Ultima Online (1997) and the creative director of Star Wars Galaxies (2003).
The team also includes Executive Producer and Chief Product Officer Gordon Walton, who previously worked at Maxis (The Sims), BioWare (Star Wars), and Sony Online Entertainment.

The life simulation “Growing Up” is currently on sale on Steam for €8.87. MeinMMO author Schuhmann spent six hours with the game yesterday, on June 20, 2024, and was fascinated. He says: If life were really as hard as in that damn game, we would all be total losers.
This is Growing Up:
In Growing Up, you steer the fate of a newborn until graduation. It is a life simulation.
You decide which skills you learn and the direction your life takes.
You encounter classmates in classic RPG scenes and can experience their story.
Start video
In Growing Up, you control the story of a newborn until their graduation – Trailer
Cool life simulation with exciting gameplay loop
What fascinates me about the game? I am a fan of life simulations, but there are few offers besides the overwhelming The Sims. I always fondly remember Kudos, where you start as a young adult with your own apartment and where a visit to the dentist is the worst thing that can happen to you.
Growing Up is essentially a kind of thinking game that follows a fixed sequence:
On a “Brain Map,” you have to see in which order to press icons to collect the maximum number of skill points. With that, you unlock skills in different areas that correspond to the skills:
This Brain Map becomes increasingly complex from round to round, with numerous bonus icons that you definitely want to collect. There are ways to earn bonus turns and even move to the “next round,” so you collect more skill points and become more successful in life the better you get at this brain map game. It’s like a puzzle to solve.
The Brain Map becomes more complicated as you get older.
In addition, there are other systems through which you acquire skills, shop in the city, work, or engage in leisure activities.
It is a great feeling of constant guided progress. It has something of “The Sims,” as you advance so clearly in life. First, you learn to spell, then to write, and eventually engage with literature. Or you buy a skateboard with your first money to spend your free time and get a bit fitter. You then want to collect enough points to become better at football.
Here’s the catch: “Growing Up” is truly ruthless. Because there are 2 parameters: your own mental health and your parents’ reputation.
If you only work and play too little, you become “Overworked” and nothing works anymore.
But the parents totally hate it when you do anything that even remotely looks like fun. With every time watching TV or even riding a bike, your parents’ reputation decreases.
They then make sometimes absurd demands, like I should perform a completely stupid skill 10 times that brings me nothing – out of sheer whim, because I supposedly “needed to spend more time with my parents.”
When I disappointed my parents twice, they just kicked me out and sent me to military school, even though I was so close to becoming a celebrated sports star.
After playing, you can really understand why teenagers go crazy during puberty. It’s clearly because of the parents.
Reviews on Steam are 88% positive, rave about the game
What do the Steam reviews say? The reviews are 88% positive. Growing Up is seen as a refreshing life simulation that has a lot of originality and is fun to play. Many reviews emphasize that they simply enjoy the game and feel good while playing it. Many also praise the music and the satisfying feeling of understanding the game.
The RPG scenes are criticized – they repeat too much and the dialogues are long.
How is the game doing on Steam? Growing Up was released in October 2021 and for almost 3 years after the launch hardly anyone was interested. Only now in June 2024 do more players seem to be discovering the game. The game is currently experiencing a small renaissance (via steam). This may be due to the sale, which runs until June 27. During this time, Growing Up is 40% cheaper and hopefully finds many more players. The game deserves it, even though the parents are truly cruel tyrants.
During the filming of a scene in The Return of the King, an actor was injured so severely by a prop that he even had to go to the hospital. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.
Who is it about? Almost everyone has heard about Viggo Mortensen’s (Aragorn) injury during the filming of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The story has practically become legendary. In a scene, Aragorn believes that Merry and Pippin have been brutally killed by Orcs. In his rage, he kicks the helmet of an Uruk-hai and breaks two toes. Orlando Bloom also got injured when he fell off a horse and broke several ribs.
But these two were far from the only ones on the set of The Lord of the Rings who got injured. During the filming of The Return of the King, Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins) was also not spared.

Elijah Wood was injured during the spider scene
How did Elijah Wood get injured? In the third part, Frodo is hit by Shelob’s sting (the creepy giant spider), which severely wounds him and brings him close to death. However, during the filming of this key scene, Elijah Wood suffered a real injury from a prop object that represented the sting. This information was later revealed in the Extended Edition DVD. There, Wood and his colleague Sean Astin (who plays Sam) discuss the background of this scene.
How serious was it? Wood describes how the sting from the prop object was not only extremely painful but actually led to a serious injury that required medical treatment. The injury was so serious that Wood had to spend several days in the hospital recovering before he could return to the set.
Wood and Astin even joked during this time about using an appendicitis as an excuse for the hospital stay. The irony was that they speculated whether this incident might have actually led to Elijah Wood’s real appendicitis in 2003. Sean Astin was also not spared from injuries on set. At the end of the first film, he ran into a river and stepped on a glass shard. Ouch! Did you know? One of the most epic images in the Lord of the Rings film was not makeup, but a real injury.

On June 21, the developers of Diablo 4 announced that there will be a test server for Season 5 next week. MeinMMO summarizes the highlights of the patch notes for 1.5.0 for the PTR.
The highlights from the stream:
Next week, there will be a PTR (Public Test Realm) for the new features in Season 5.
Season 5 starts on August 6 and will last until the release of the expansion “Vessel of Hatred” – specifically until October 8. Season 6 will start simultaneously.
There will be a new endgame activity at World Tier 3 and 4 – the “Infernal Hordes”. At the end of the activity, you can even choose the type of your reward. The summoning of bosses in Diablo 4 will also be adjusted.
Items will be revised again, with many new Legendaries and Uniques added. There will also be some “Quality of Life” changes.
In the “Campfire Chat” livestream on YouTube, the developers of Diablo 4 announced on June 21 that there will be a PTR for Season 5 next week. All players with a Battle.net account on PC can participate.
The detailed patch notes for the PTR can be found on page two. A little warning: They are VERY long.
Season 5 will run until the launch of the expansion. Here you can see the cinematic trailer for Vessel of Hatred:

New Features from Season 5 on the PTR
What can I test on the PTR? In the livestream, the developers of Diablo 4 stated that you can test most features coming in Season 5. These include:
New Activity “Infernal Hordes“: Here you activate a “Hell Compass” and then fight against waves of monsters and a boss. This allows you to earn various rewards. You obtain Hell Compasses through various endgame activities.
After completing it, you can choose a reward chest that contains either gear, gold, or materials.
Items: According to the developers, the items will be revised again. There will also be 50 new Uniques and Legendaries. Uniques and Uber Uniques can also be farmed at the Curiosity Vendor, in Hellfire Chests, and at the Tree of Whispers.
Mythical Uniques: Uber Uniques will become Mythical Uniques – they will be purple and have a new sound when dropping. The drop chance for Mythical Uniques in areas outside of bosses will be increased.
Class Updates: There will be further buffs for the classes. Furthermore, classes will have more options for equipping weapons. For example, Necromancers will be able to wield axes.
Bosses: The Beast in Ice can now be summoned like other bosses using materials instead of a Nightmare Sigil. Varshan now requires only one body part to summon instead of four. And you no longer need to leave and reset dungeons, you can resummon the bosses immediately after the fight.
“Quality of Life” Updates: The time needed to complete Whisper tasks will be reduced. The number of tasks in Hellfire will be increased. The loot drops from the Treasure Goblin will be improved.
PTR – Boost or Transfer Character
There will be three options for how you play your character on the PTR:
You take one of your current characters and play with it on the PTR
You level a completely new character
You boost yourself in Zarbinzet at the “PTR Boost” NPC directly to Level 100
After the boost, you receive: all new Legendaries, 1 new Unique, 100 million Gold, 1,000 Obolusses, potions, two equipment sets, all Paragon Glyphs, up to 10 Hardening recipes, a few mats
When does the PTR start? The PTR starts on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. We suspect it will go live again in the evening and be available for a week.
How do I participate in the PTR? You can install the PTR directly through your Battle.net launcher, just like the PTR for Season 4. If you play Diablo 4 through the “PC Game Pass” or “Game Pass Ultimate”, you can access it that way as well. You open the Battle.net launcher in the Xbox app and install the PTR.
The developers emphasized at the end of the stream that they are very satisfied with the current Season 4. The PTR has helped them a lot, especially for the balance in Diablo 4. They are particularly satisfied with how the item system has developed. Many players are also thrilled with the current season. And some are even so much that they let other things go.

On your journey through the shadowland of Elden Ring, you will repeatedly encounter the large, wandering oven golems. We will show you where to find them and how to defeat them.
What are Oven Golems? Shortly after entering the DLC, you will discover the first of the eight oven golems in the distance. They walk on two legs, have arms, and a “oven face”. A fire burns in their core, which the opponent can also make quite effective use of in battle.
Upon closer inspection, you will notice that there are human-like bodies trapped inside the oven – pretty disturbing when you think about it. We will show you all locations of the giants and how to best combat them. With the directory, you can quickly jump to the individual points of the guide.

Finding Oven Golems – All Locations
The oven golems wander in the open world and are all optional. Especially at the beginning, the fight against them can be difficult, especially if you haven’t collected any of the findable Scadubloom fragments yet. You can find a guide about this on MeinMMO.
You can find them at the following locations on the map:
You will find the oven golems at these locations on the map.
If you defeat a golem, you will receive different equipment. Each of them drops an oven face that can be used as material for crafting items. Additionally, the ovens drop new crystal tears for your potion mix.
However, before that can happen, you first need to overcome the giant opponents. In the next section, we will reveal some tips for that.
How the Oven Golem Fights
What abilities does the opponent have? When you face the battle, you should best be mounted on your horse Stormwind. This allows you to avoid some of the golem’s attacks. It’s best to equip a talisman that gives you a lot of fire resistance, such as the Flame Dragon Talisman +3.
The fire is intense. If you get too close to the golem’s feet, it will stomp and create a large wave of fire. You can avoid this by executing a double jump on Stormwind at the right moment. But be careful: Watch out not to jump into the burning foot.
On the other hand, if you keep your distance, the golem will throw fire at you. You can evade this attack by dodging sideways.
If you have already significantly reduced the opponent’s health bar, it will jump high into the air and land with a crash on the ground. This will also create a large, dangerous wave of fire, which you can once again avoid with Stormwind and a double jump.
The opponent has one last nasty trick up his sleeve: He can lean forward and grab at you. If he catches you, he will throw you into the blazing fire of his oven, and you will die. You can avoid this attack by staying behind him.
How do you defeat the golem? The opponent is especially vulnerable at the legs. So aim your attacks at them and try to break the stance as quickly as possible. Then the golem will fall to the ground and the sensitive spot on its head will come within your reach. At the glowing spot of the mask, you can land a critical hit and deal massive damage.
Depending on the strength of your weapon and character, the golem can withstand between one and three such critical hits. If you use spells, you can attack comfortably from a distance and directly hit the face. Just watch out for the powerful counters the golem fires at you.
If you are slightly elevated above a golem, you can also throw a “Heavy Fire Pot” directly into the oven, which also deals a lot of damage.
The ban of DrDisrespect from Twitch happened four years ago, and to this day, the true reason for the ban remains unclear. A former Twitch employee has made serious allegations against the streamer on X: Allegedly, DrDisrespect was banned for sending inappropriate messages to a minor. DrDisrespect has already responded to the reports on this.
What happened? In 2020, the prominent streamer DrDisrespect was permanently banned from Twitch. The curious thing about the situation was that the reasons for the ban were never discussed. Shortly before the ban, DrDisrespect had signed an exclusive contract with Twitch.
Even in April of this year 2024, he commented on his ban and explained how much he has lost. He speaks about a collapsed deal with Nike. While DrDisrespect and Amazon reached a legal agreement regarding the ban, there was also no public discussion about what exactly had happened. According to DrDisrespect, both parties agreed not to admit to any wrongdoing.
Cody Conners, a former Twitch employee, has now commented on X about the issue and raises serious allegations against the streamer.

He further claims that the streamer allegedly wanted to meet the minor person at TwitchCon.
He was banned because he was caught sexting with a minor in the then-existing Twitch Whispers product. He tried to meet the person at TwitchCon.

In a new video, Marco from Nerdkultur analyzes the first episode of Season 2 of House of the Dragon and explains what Blood and Cheese is all about.
Spoiler Warning: The following article contains spoilers for the first episode of Season 2 of House of the Dragon. Anyone who hasn’t seen it should catch up.
Who is Marco Risch? Since 2015, Marco Risch has been focusing on news, analyses, reviews, and interviews about current movies, series, or games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur.
In addition, he meets weekly with his colleague Yves Arievich to chat in the Podcast Nerd & Kultur about pop culture topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. Both the YouTube channel and the podcast are part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.
In a new video, he analyzes the latest episode of House of the Dragon and explains to you what Blood and Cheese is all about:
Start video
Nerd culture: House of the Dragon Analysis: Season 2, Episode 1
The Starting Situation in Season 2
What are the many actors doing in Season 2? Marco begins by talking about the new intro of the season. While the first intro symbolized the bloodlines of the Targaryens, the new intro shows a bloody embroidery from Helaena Targaryen’s perspective. It tells the story of her family and ends with the events of the first season.
Alan Taylor, who directed 9 episodes of The Sopranos, returns to the franchise and is now even the showrunner, working alongside composer Ramin Djawadi, orchestrating a return to the Starks and the original series, particularly through the two characters Jacaerys Velaryon and Cregan Stark.
On the other hand, there is the faction of the Blacks from House Targaryen, discussing their next steps. This finally shows the perspective that was also addressed in Game of Thrones: the impact on ordinary people. Instead of just seeing the powerful act, we now also see the role of the ordinary characters.
The other faction from House Targaryen is the Greens. Alicent Hightower and Ser Criston Cole must deal with the currently uncomfortable situation, as the obligations have changed. This is also true for Helaena Targaryan, who now moves into her mother’s old chambers as queen. There, she changes everything as a symbol of new leadership. On the other hand, there is Aegon II, who changes nothing.
What’s the deal with Blood and Cheese? In his video, Marco explains the parallels between Daemon and Aemond, both of whom know the significance of Harrenhal and the leadership needed for the civil war. This is also the reason why they want to kill each other. Therefore, Daemon wants to ensure it. In this scene, according to Marco, there’s a reference back to the dispute between Daemon and Viserys.
We do not know what Daemon said about what they should do if they cannot find Aemond, and that fits with the books. We can only know what we have experienced. True to the Middle Ages, there are no reliable reports, only those from third parties that must be interpreted.
Similarly to what is known about Blood and Cheese. Just as Fire and Blood consists only of traditions, the names of the two are also unknown. Blood is the former butcher who belongs to the Gold Cloaks, and Cheese is referred to as the rat catcher.
The scene through the sewers is particularly emphasized by Marco since it was crafted elaborate and thus shot in detail. Combined with the natural light and minimalism, it creates a scene that perfectly visualizes the two intruders and their approach.

From time to time, there are new game modes in League of Legends that try to provide variety alongside the familiar MOBA gameplay. Last year, there was Arena and this year there is Swarm, a mode inspired by a Steam hit.
What do you do in Swarm?
Swarm is the new PvE mode that will be available on the live servers on July 17.
You will fight against hordes of monsters, sometimes against bosses, with up to four friends.
The game is reminiscent of Steam hits like Vampire Survivors or Brotato with its upgrade system and gameplay.
The champions and the visual design are based on the Anima Squad skin series, for which new champions will receive skins as part of the event, including Aurora.
Previous Anima Squad champions are also expected to be in the playable champion pool.
After the Arena mode, Swarm is the next new mode that brings back PvE after a long time. The last PvE mode was released in 2018 in the form of Odyssey: Extraction. The unique thing about the movement in this mode is that you can only move with WASD instead of using the mouse.
You can watch the trailer for the event here:

In a Reddit post, players are reacting to the new mode and most are positive about it. In the comments, we even get more insights into the mode itself. When the user FreezingVenezuelan says the mode is a sort of side-game alongside classic LoL, a staff member from Riot actually responds to him.
From a technical standpoint, that’s more true than you can imagine 😀 We have essentially developed a brand new game in the League engine, new controls, new design, new basic AI, etc. This is definitely a bold bet!

Many players are looking forward to the new mode, precisely because it differs so much from classic LoL.
Piliro: That’s probably it for my free time.
dangledoodles: Didn’t expect it to be shown this early, really looking forward to it
Top-warrior: I love games in the style of Vampire Survivors/Holocure, so I’m very excited about this game.
In the comments on the Reddit post, there is additional information from Riot employees. They implemented the controls on WASD because the mode would not work properly otherwise. Additionally, Swarm is supposed to be playable only as a limited mode initially, not permanently. What do you think of the new mode? Are you excited about it or not interested in such things? Write it in the comments. As part of the event, many new skins are expected: “Yuumi and Seraphine?” – LoL fans find the choice of the new Anima Squad “legendary”

The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are among the most successful and well-known film franchises in the world. For Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood, these franchises were the big break into the film industry. But what happened next and who of the two had the more successful career?
Just because you play in a large franchise doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll become the ultimate superstar, whether you want to or not. Both Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood show that you don’t necessarily need the next massive franchise success after the first one.
Both major roles started in 2001 and evolved in interesting directions. But who of the two had the better career? We’ll take a look at this in this article, based on the box office results of the films both starred in. Additionally, there will be a brief overview of individual roles for both actors after their major franchises.

Daniel Radcliffe’s career began here:

From Harry Potter to the Useful Corpse
Before The Philosopher’s Stone, Daniel Radcliffe only appeared in 2 insignificant roles. In 2001, it started with Harry Potter. Until 2005, he only filmed the first four parts of the series. In between, he only starred in one television film and the forgotten December Boys.
After Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Radcliffe attempted to take on darker roles. In 2012, he played the lead role in the horror thriller The Woman in Black and in 2015 in the horror film Victor Frankenstein.
His biggest role afterwards was probably in Now You See Me 2. According to The Richest, this is also the most successful film he starred in after the Harry Potter series. The Woman in Black and Trainwreck also grossed over 120 million dollars.
Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse in Swiss Army Man
The experimental phase of his career began in 2016 with the film Swiss Army Man. In the film, Radcliffe plays a corpse used by Paul Dano for various things, for example, to crack coconuts.
He continued to have exciting and experimental roles afterward. In the comedy Guns Akimbo, he plays a programmer who finds himself in an internet show where guns are screwed onto his hands. In the semi-biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, he plays the titular musician, who tells a fictional version of his life.
Radcliffe’s last major success was in 2022 with The Lost City. The film is a comedy featuring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. Radcliffe played a wealthy villain there.
Elijah Wood’s career started even before The Lord of the Rings. He appeared in a total of 21 films in varying degrees of prominence. The massive success came in 2001 with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Between the three parts, he also appeared in four films, such as Spy Kids 3-D.
But not only The Lord of the Rings was a major success for Wood. Right after the trilogy, Wood also tried his hand at genre films, like Sin City (2004) and Hooligans (2005). In the latter, he played an American who dives deeper into the English hooligan scene.
He starred in the cult film Sin City in 2005, which grossed over 150 million dollars. Another huge success was his lead role in the two Happy Feet films. The two animated films by Mad Max director George Miller grossed over 500 million dollars together.
Elijah Wood voices Mumble in Happy Feet
He has generally appeared in a lot of films. Notable would be the trashy The Last Witch Hunter (2015) with Vin Diesel or a voice role in Star Wars Resistance. Generally, Elijah Wood has voiced many films, but also games. Examples include the Legend of Spyro series or God of War: Ghost of Sparta. In addition, he has produced unusual films like Mandy and The Color Out of Space.
Apart from that, he drew attention during the pandemic in 2020 when he interacted with many fans in Animal Crossing. He could also be seen in a promo clip for Baldur’s Gate 3 alongside Sean Astin.
Looking only at the number and earnings of their films, Radcliffe is ahead. According to The Numbers, the films in which Radcliffe starred as a lead and supporting actor grossed over 8.4 billion dollars. Elijah Wood has a value of about 6 billion dollars according to The Numbers. It should be noted here that for both values, the major franchises make up the bulk and Harry Potter has four more films.
When looking at the number of films and series, Elijah Wood has the edge. One thing that should be commendably mentioned for both is the diversity of their roles. Both tried out different roles and genres and didn’t remain trapped in their franchise direction. Radcliffe has already addressed the comparison between the two actors: Daniel Radcliffe discusses comparisons to Elijah Wood: “Conceptually, we are the same person”

It won’t be long now. The new expansion Dawntrail for Final Fantasy XIV will be released on June 28 (for pre-order customers). The official release will be on July 2. We will tell you what you can do in Eorzea before the release to get a decent XP boost at the start.
This guide shows you how to efficiently prepare for the release of Dawntrail to gain a chunk of XP at the start. Additionally, we will show you how to quickly level up the two new jobs. As Viper and Piktomant, you start at level 80. However, you need level 90 for the new story arc.
Spoiler: Attention! Minor spoilers for the Endwalker expansion. Quest and area names will be mentioned.

Start video
Final Fantasy XIV: Launch trailer for Dawntrail prepares for the adventure in Tural
These 4 things you can prepare before the release
Side quests from Endwalker
You have a total of 30 slots in your quest log. You can, for example, travel to the Endwalker area Elpis and accept and complete 29 side quests there. Important: Do not hand them in yet!
This is what it looks like.
Because these quests are not bound to your job. You can do these quests with your Ninja, for example, and then hand in the quests with the Piktomant or Viper at the start of Dawntrail. This way, you will get a significant chunk of experience points (XP) right at the beginning starting from level 80.
Make sure to only complete 29 quests if you want to play one of the two new jobs – because you still need one free slot for your job quest
With any other character that is already level 90, you can even prepare 30 quests
At level 90, you will receive about 190,000 experience points per quest, totaling almost 6 million!
Khloe’s Adventure Album (Wondrous Tails)
With Khloe’s Adventure Album, you can gain half a level per week. To do this, you need to travel to Frohehalde and speak to the little Miquo’te Khloe Aliapoh. She will give you an album.
The album shows you 16 contents, which differ from player to player. If you complete the individual tasks, you will receive a stamp for your book. You can collect a maximum of 9 stamps.
A look at Khloe’s Adventure Album (Wondrous Tails).
Every Tuesday at 10 AM, there is a reset, and you can get a new album and collect 9 stamps again
This way, you can prepare one more album before Dawntrail, which you can hand in until July 2
In total, you can then gain half a level right at the release
Current Agenda (Challenge Log)
The Current Agenda gives you weekly tasks with which you can earn rewards in the form of experience points and Gil. Every Tuesday at 10 AM, the tasks are reset, and you then have a week to fulfill the entries in the agenda.
Challenge Log in Final Fantasy XIV.
The last weekly reset before Dawntrail (for pre-order customers) will be on Tuesday, June 25 (10 AM). On that day (after the reset), you can still complete the following tasks in the Battles tab:
Run Duty Roulette 2 times
Run Dungeons 2 times (not via Duty Roulette)
Keep in mind: On Wednesday morning, the servers will be down – from June 26 at 11 AM until approximately June 28 at 11 AM
So, you will only need to run one dungeon via Duty Roulette on the release day to complete your Challenge Log and receive the XP.
From level 80 to level 90, you can do the beast tribe quests of the elephant-like Arkasodara, which you can find in Thavnair (Yedlihmad). There, you will receive 3 daily quests that grant substantial XP.
You can already do these quests and hand them in directly on release day. After the daily reset on release day (5 PM), you can take them back and complete them.
You can accept the daily quests of the Arkasodara from Maru.
Warning: These quests are not transferable to other jobs. You can only hand them in with the job you accepted the quests with.
For the Piktomant and Viper, you cannot prepare the quests, but can only accept and complete them on the release of Dawntrail.
At level 80, you can also do the beast tribe quests of the Pixies in Il Mheg. You can therefore complete the daily quests of the Pixies and the Arkasodara with the Viper or Piktomant on release day.
How to quickly level the Piktomant and Viper to level 90
With the two new jobs, you start at level 80. To quickly reach level 90 for the story, we recommend the following options in addition to your job quest:
Spam dungeons
Together with the side quests from Endwalker (e.g., Elpis) and the beast tribe quests (Pixies and Arkasodara), you will reach level 81, making you ready for the first dungeon of Endwalker.
If you know a healer or tank, kindly ask them to run dungeons with you. Experience shows that the dungeon wait time for DPS could be high, as 2 new damage dealers are starting with Dawntrail. However, this method will get you to level 90 the fastest.
With this method, you can use your Khloe albums to skip levels in between
Because running dungeons is most efficient at levels 81, 83, 85, 87, and 89
Are you Team Viper or Team Piktomant?
Bozjan Southern Front
You can also go to Bozja and do FATEs, which many players did on the launch day of Endwalker to level their Sage or Reaper. To do this, you must go to the Doman Enclave and from there take the Aetheryte to Gangos.
Duty Support System
Would you prefer to do everything completely solo? Then you can also complete dungeons with NPCs. However, the dungeons will take significantly longer as NPCs cannot deal area damage (AoE) – except for Urianger as an Astrologian. However, you won’t have annoying wait times.
In Final Fantasy XIV, there are also certain items that give you more experience points. As a pre-order customer, you will receive earrings that provide a 30% bonus to combat experience until level 90.
Always carry something to eat with you, as even a cooked egg will suffice, which you can already buy for little Gil from vendors in town. Eating grants you a 3% experience bonus. Are you still looking for more guides? Then feel free to check here: Final Fantasy XIV – All guides for the MMORPG

Since the 2nd generation of Pokémon, there has been a lottery where you can win prizes daily. Most of the time, you don’t get anything useful, but one player on Reddit hit the jackpot, and the community is celebrating him.
What happened? On Reddit, a player posted about his big success in the 2nd Pokémon generation. He simply posted a picture with the title: I won the lottery in Pokémon Silver. The picture shows only the text from the game: You have won a Master Ball!
How does the lottery work in the Pokémon games? The lottery first appeared in the 2nd generation of Pokémon, namely Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Daily, or in the 2nd generation weekly, a new ID is generated, which offers a chance for various prizes based on the trainer ID of your Pokémon. In Pokémon Silver, the following prizes are available:
The new Pokémon: Legends A-Z brings you back to the Kalos region
The community celebrates the success
On Reddit, the user’s success is celebrated as apparently many thought the grand prize was impossible. One user cannot believe it and writes: So it can really happen!
Another user ironically considers it a scam and says of the lottery: No, I’m pretty sure this lottery was a scam to teach children that lotteries and other forms of gambling are bad.
How difficult is it really? Many users are happy for the player, but as you can see, very few have managed to achieve such success in their Pokémon careers. As bisafans.de explains, the odds of such a win are also quite low.
If you have not traded Pokémon with others, then the chance of winning the grand prize is 1 in 65536. This is significantly less likely than most shiny odds.
You can improve your chances if you have many traded Pokémon since the lottery pulls the trainer IDs from all Pokémon in your boxes and the 6 you can have with you. If you have many traded Pokémon, you also have more available IDs. Even if you think you know everything about Pokémon, you can always learn something new: Player knows almost everything about Pokémon, realizes after 14 years that he has always played it wrong

One of the biggest mysteries in the world of One Piece is Joy Boy. Who was he and what did he do in his time? So far, there is no answer to this question in both the manga and the anime. However, a user on X has a theory suggesting that we have long known which tribe Joy Boy came from.
Warning Spoilers: The following article may contain spoilers for the One Piece anime and manga, anyone who absolutely does not want to be spoiled should be up to date with the manga.
What do we know about Joy Boy? Joy Boy is an important historical figure in One Piece, but not much is known about him yet. According to the One Piece Wiki, the name was first mentioned on the Poneglyph on Fish-Man Island. He is said to have been born 900 years ago and is prophesied to return 800 years after the Lost Century according to legend.
When Luffy first activates Gear 5, Zunesha implies that Luffy is Joy Boy. According to a theory on X, Joy Boy’s people have already been shown by Oda.
You can watch the trailer for the current One Piece arc here:

Joy Boy and Thriller Bark
Who was Joy Boy? As X user @Jabulkheir believes, Eiichiro Oda has already revealed what Joy Boy was: a giant like Oz. Oz is a giant zombie that Gecko Moria resurrected using Luffy’s shadow to strengthen his crew.
Typical of One Piece theories, fans see clues in possible numbers. Luffy’s fruit is called Gomu Gomu no Mi. Gomu can also be interpreted as 56. If you calculate 5x6x5x6, you get 900.
Oz was the zombie 900 of Gecko Moria. Joy Boy lived 900 years ago and is also said to have possessed the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which fits with the abilities and behavior of Oz.
The Twitter thread further explains the parallels using manga panels:

Another connection between Oz and Joy Boy is supposed to be his descendant Oz Junior, who received a straw hat from Ace, the son of Roger. The straw hat is also considered an important symbol for Joy Boy and the mysteries of the world; just look at the giant hat on Imu.
How valid is the theory? That Oz has connections to Joy Boy is not temporally possible, as Oz lived 400 years after Joy Boy. His behavior and parallels can also be explained by Luffy’s shadow, as Ryuma also behaved like Brook, and the two had no connection to each other. Often symbols like numbers or patterns are more of a theme that runs through than an active connection.
Although it is possible that Joy Boy was a giant, especially since giants are now playing an important role in One Piece again, many fans rather suspect that Joy Boy was a Buccaneer, i.e., from the same tribe as Kuma.
Even if such theories have a lot to do with imagination, they are entertaining. What do you think of such theories, do you like to read them or do you think they are complete nonsense? Let us know in the comments. Many pirate crews in One Piece know more than one might initially think: One Piece: A pirate crew already knew what was threatening the world, they just laughed

The new MMORPG Pax Dei has started Early Access on Steam and has received “mixed reviews” after three days: 56 percent are positive. One of the reviews for the 40-euro game is now causing a lot of discussion.
Pax Dei: Trailer for the Early Access launch shows beautiful medieval world
Steam user writes review after 12 minutes in the game – It goes viral
This is the review: A review by the user “gisk” appeared on June 18 (via Steam), after the user spent only about twelve minutes in the game. The user acts in his assessment as if he is writing an email from the boss to the developers.
The review reads nastily, stating that the developers should only use free standard development tools and quickly throw something together, without story, dialogues, a class system, or NPCs. After all, they are creating a completely player-driven sandbox.
Everything should actually be standard, but a few streamers need to be paid to say that Pax Dei is the “best survival sandbox MMO” ever made. Except Lirik, who left the game after 20 minutes – he shouldn’t be paid. On the other hand, maybe he should be, to force him to say good things about the game.
Then the team should bring the game into Early Access and introduce a subscription model for 100 US dollars per month three months later. Those who do not pay would lose characters, items, and bases. This way, they could make double profit; if that doesn’t work, they could simply develop another Early Access game.
Developers respond initially defensively, then want to use review for marketing
How do the developers respond? The initial reaction was quite defensive (via archive.org). It was stated that the player probably hadn’t checked the Discord, where information about the game has been published for the past one and a half years. They take game development very seriously and love to receive feedback on how the game can be improved.
However, when the review went viral, the developers changed the text: They now congratulate the reviewer on his excellent writing style and say they hope that everyone who finds the text funny will check out Pax Dei. They now describe the advantages of the MMO.
This is how it’s being discussed: The streamer Lirik has found it hilarious, as have many other people on Steam.

Diligence must be rewarded – That was also the thought of the mother of a fan of Elden Ring. She wanted to buy him the DLC, even though she has to save money herself. On Reddit, her story received a lot of positive feedback.
What was the mother planning? As Reddit user SabrinaSpellman1 writes in a post in the Elden Ring subreddit, she has a son who loves the game very much.
The main game brought him a lot of joy and made his daily life better. Because he doesn’t have it easy. In school, he doesn’t receive the support he needs as an autistic student. Nevertheless, he bravely gets through and “rocks” everyday life.
This must be rewarded, which is why the mother wants to buy her son the DLC Shadow of the Erdtree. However, she writes that they are currently going through a financially difficult time. That is why she has recently been saving to afford the purchase.
Even though money is tight, the mother wants to bring joy to her son. She writes:
“I can’t wait to see his face! I hope it lives up to the hype because he enjoyed Elden Ring so much.”
She is the proudest mom of all time. But the story doesn’t end there. The Reddit community wanted to help, especially in one regard.
What happened next? In an edit to her original post, the mother shares that two users reached out to her. They offered to cover the costs of the DLC.
The post had made her smile and given her a good feeling – and they wanted to give back for that. Considering the mother’s financial situation, that would have certainly been a help, but she declined the offer.
She saved the money and is happy to now use it for a gift for her son. Nevertheless, she expresses her heartfelt gratitude to the community and says that all the kind messages have made her very happy.
What do the users say? Under the post, over 200 comments from users have gathered. While many simply find the story beautiful and thank her for sharing, others praise the good deed of the mother.
“As an adult autistic person who did not receive the support I needed, it makes me very happy to see that parents do not shy away from their child for this reason,” writes the user Difficult-Most-4159.
“Forget Game of the Year. We have MOTHER OF THE YEAR right here!,” says Janostar213.
“When he’s old enough to use Reddit and enjoys chatting online, tell him he can share his thoughts and character here and discuss the game with us,” suggests pororoca_surfer.
Meanwhile, the DLC has been released and the gifted son is probably already exploring the shadow land himself. All this because of his mother, who has an open ear for his passion and rewarded his struggles in life at the right moment. We can only hope that he will be just as excited about the DLC as the numerous positive reviews from players on Steam.

Today, the Community Day Classic with Cyndaquil is happening in Pokémon GO. We will show you everything about bonuses, shiny, content, and tips.
When does the Community Day Classic start? The event takes place on June 22, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. So you can spend three hours collecting Cyndaquil.
What kind of event is this? The Community Day Classic works similarly to a regular C-Day, only that it brings back a Pokémon that had such an event in the past.
This time you will encounter Cyndaquil everywhere in the wild. As usual, you can expect a significantly increased shiny rate. Additionally, there are a few bonuses that we will list here.

Community Day Classic in June 2024 with Cyndaquil – Start, Bonuses, Shiny, Event Tips
What? Community Day Classic with Cyndaquil When? Saturday, June 22, 2024 – From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Exclusive Attack: Flamethrower for Typhlosion if you evolve it by 7:00 PM Bonuses: – Significantly increased shiny chance for Cyndaquil – Double catch XP – Double catch stardust – Lure modules and incense last for 3 hours (not the daily adventure incense) – Snapshot surprises with Cyndaquil – Field research with Cyndaquil – PokéStop showcases with Cyndaquil – A special research in the shop for around €1, focusing on Cyndaquil
Can Cyndaquil be shiny? Yes, you can catch Cyndaquil in its shiny variant. Here’s what it and its evolutions look like as shiny:
Cyndaquil, Quilava, and Typhlosion as shiny
Who should consider Cyndaquil in Pokémon GO?
For fighters? If you are looking for a strong attacker in Pokémon GO, neither Cyndaquil, Quilava, nor Typhlosion are really powerful options. Typhlosion with Flamethrower is okay as a fire attacker in raids or gyms, but there are stronger alternatives. Also, in PvP, the three Pokémon are not particularly impressive. You can find the list of best attackers in Pokémon GO of the fire type here.
For collectors? Cyndaquil has been in the game for a long time, so most of you probably already have it. But for those who don’t have the shiny variant yet, this is a great opportunity to catch the shiny version.
Additionally, you can also use the candies from the Community Day for your Hisui Typhlosion, if you have that.
Attention! Egg bonus is also active
What you should note: Since the event “Smoldering Steps” is currently happening, you also have the chance to benefit from a shortened hatch distance for your eggs. Therefore, it can be worthwhile to combine both events and plan some walks.
How do I prepare for the Community Day Classic with Cyndaquil?
Make space: As always, you want to bring a well-organized Pokémon collection to such an event. It’s annoying to constantly check which Pokémon you need to transfer because your box is full when you actually want to catch a lot of Cyndaquil.
Which Mega Pokémon do I need? If you activate a Mega Pokémon, then one that also has the fire type or one that brings bonuses to fire types in other ways. This way you get more candies and XP when catching. Use:
Mega Charizard X
Mega Charizard Y
Mega Houndoom
Mega Blaziken
Primal Groudon
What items do I need? Depending on the bonuses, several are recommended.
Incense and lure module: Both last for three hours during the event. Use incense if you are on the move and the lure module if you are staying in one place to attract Pokémon.
Razz Berries: Always good if you need more candies.
Lucky Egg and Star Piece: Both are useful if you want to further increase the XP and stardust bonuses.
So use Saturday especially if you are missing shiny Cyndaquil (or the regular variant), need candies, or are trying to find a four-star version as a collector. Also, keep in mind to hatch eggs during the Smoldering Steps event. A lot is happening this weekend. And if you want to know what else is coming up: Here are all events in Pokémon GO in June 2024.

The self-confessed MMORPG nerd Zack, also known as “Asmongold,” enjoys sharing his opinions on Twitch. When a report about an absurd job listing came out, he thought the case was clear, but he had to quickly backtrack.
What was the situation? We at MeinMMO reported on the job listing of a development studio, which is currently causing an uproar. It includes mandatory sauna visits as a condition. The studio head justified this unusual requirement by saying that they are working on a game about saunas and employees must be familiar with the subject.
The Twitch streamer Asmongold sided with the developer but gave up after just a few minutes.
Start video
Twitch streamer Asmongold says: “Stop watching streams at 3 AM if you don’t have money!”
Twitch streamer demands evidence – and gets it
Why did Asmongold defend the developer? The rather media-critical streamer learned about the incident through an article from the website Dexerto, which had been shared in his subreddit. However, Asmongold quickly believed he had found inconsistencies in the article.
The article claims that the studio head “allegedly demanded that employees participate in naked sauna visits.” Asmongold took issue with the word “allegedly,” saying: “What, are we supposed to just believe that?” He wanted to take a “more analytical look at the whole thing.”
He promptly searched for a screenshot of the job listing and discovered: Aha! There is no mention of “naked!” It also does not state that the boss would be present during the sauna visits.
For the Twitch streamer, this was “the best example” of how people on the internet twist things again.
Asmongold gives up: ‘Didn’t think anyone could be such a freak’
Why did he change his mind? Asmongold changed his opinion quite quickly when he found further screenshots of messages between the studio head and a potential employee. The sentence “My narrative girls had to go to the sauna with me to create a fantastic script” broke the streamer.
“Okay, yup. Forget it. I really tried. I really thought it can’t be that someone is such a big freak,” explained the streamer while he clasped his hands over his face.
In the stream, about 4 minutes passed between the start of Asmongold’s “analysis” and the fateful sentence. However, for the re-upload on YouTube, it was even shortened to under 3 minutes. You can watch the excerpt here in the original English version.
