Medieval Dynasty finally gets the long-awaited update on consoles – with co-op, new map, and more

The popular survival game Medieval Dynasty will soon offer a co-op mode for console players as well. Everything you need to know about it can be found here.

Medieval Dynasty is a survival game that you can play on PC (among others via Steam), the PS5, and the Xbox Series X/S. The game has become a hit, especially among fans of the genre, and it has already secured 90% very positive reviews on Steam.

  • Medieval Dynasty offers a mix of survival and life simulation.
  • You build and manage your own village in medieval Europe. You take care of all important matters concerning your community.
  • Interactions with NPCs are a major focus, and meeting their needs is an essential step to expanding your community.

In December 2023, Steam players could already dive into the co-op mode, which was very well received in the community at the time. Now, a trailer has finally announced the mode for consoles:

When does the co-op mode start on consoles? As proclaimed in the trailer by the town crier himself, the date for the launch of the co-op mode on consoles has now been announced. The mode will start on June 27, 2024, on the PS5 and Xbox.

It has also been announced that crossplay will be possible, allowing you to play with your friends at any time, regardless of which platform you play Medieval Dynasty on.

What else does the update offer? In addition to the expected co-op mode, console players can also look forward to a new map after the update and explore Piastovia, the heart and soul of the Oxbow. A thrilling new mission is also expected to begin there.

A new map and the character editor await you

The “Oxbow Map” promises you an unknown, new realm filled with interesting characters, impressive landmarks, and welcoming villages. You can then explore this with your friends while hunting, trading, and expanding your communities together.

Additionally, console players can look forward to the character editor. This allows you to customize your male or female character according to your preferences. You should be able to equip your character with even more personality tailored to yourself before diving into the co-op mode.

In the new hero shooter FragPunk, you let your opponents grow huge heads and unleash the grim reaper on them

During the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, a new hero shooter was presented, which relies on a fast-paced concept with card decks and will also be released on Steam. You can learn more about it here on MeinMMO.

What game is this about? During the last Xbox Games Showcase, the new hero shooter FragPunk was introduced for the first time. It is being developed by Bad Guitar Studio and is set to enter closed alpha on June 27, 2024, for which you can register on the official website (via fragpunk.com).

The 5v5 hero shooter is expected to be released on both Xbox and PC via Steam.

FragPunk uses card decks for powerful power-ups

What can you expect? The trailer provides a first glimpse into the concept revolving around the card decks, which seem to play a significant role in FragPunk and could give you a crucial advantage in battles.

Games are played in teams of 5 players each, and each round is supposed to last 2.5 minutes. Proper preparation and taking the best cards into the round could thus be a crucial aspect. Because there isn’t always enough time to strategize and think during the rounds.

10 Heroes, 15 Weapons, and over 70 Maps

In advance, you choose between 10 different heroes with unique abilities, customize your weapon combinations, and select which cards you will take into battle. In total, you are supposed to have 15 weapons and over 70 cards available.

The trailer already gives you a little taste of what is possible with the various cards:

  • Let tall grass grow where you can hide and herbs that dampen your sounds.
  • When an opponent’s HP falls below 50%, unleash a grim reaper on them who takes them out instantly.
  • Make your opponents grow huge heads and master every headshot.
  • Turn the game world upside down or cause a powerful chain reaction.
  • Simply change the roles of attackers and defenders during an ongoing round.

As the trailer suggests, you can only use the cards once per round, as they are destroyed upon use. Whether you have to choose three cards as a team that each member can then use once, or if each member has their own deck is not yet entirely clear.

However, it is promised that due to the use and combinations of the various cards, no round will be the same and the possibilities for your team will be diverse. Shooter fans seem to be well catered to this year already. In May, a first-person shooter was also released on Steam that has already received many good reviews: In a new first-person shooter, the developers send you into a colorful cartoon world

The fans are not afraid of a bad Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – the reason is quite simple

In autumn, a new installment of the Call of Duty series will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and in Game Pass. Fans of the series are not worried that it could be a bad installment.

When will Black Ops 6 be released? On October 25, the new installment of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released. In addition to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the first Microsoft CoD will also launch in Game Pass on day one. Whether the new installment will be good is still uncertain, after all, fans are getting back a mode they’ve wanted for a long time.

Even if the new installment could turn out not to be good, fans are not worried; on the contrary: anticipation for the new CoD is high.

Here you can watch the trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6:

Has no consequences for me if it fails

Why are fans excited about the new installment? Recently, a user’s post on Reddit attracted a lot of attention. In the post by YungFooz, he describes that he is looking forward to the new CoD installment because this time he doesn’t have to invest anything.

I am more excited about this game because there are no consequences for me if it fails. I skipped MW3 because it sounded like a terrible MW2 DLC for $70, but I actually feel like I can look forward to this CoD release simply because I don’t have to spend extra money to play it. Of course, I want the game to be a big success, but if it isn’t, it’s no big deal. Is anyone else in the same boat? It’s a great feeling for this franchise.

writes YungFooz on Reddit.

Simply looking forward to Call of Duty without the fear of wasting €79.99 sounds good at first, but not all users share the author’s opinion in the comments under the post.

What is the community’s opinion? The community is somewhat divided. Some share YungFooz’s opinion, while others say they will get hyped again, even though it’s the same game every year.

This opinion is also shared by Based_Jd on Reddit: “It’s hard not to get caught up in the hype … But remember this is all part of the annual CoD cycle.”

DarkLink457 is also looking forward to Reddit: “Yes, this year seems more promising than the last few years, plus it has the longest development time of all Call of Dutys.”

pennypacker89 finds this a bit silly on Reddit: “It’s crazy that we repeat this every year. And every year it’s the same thing.”

Thin-Connection-4082 doesn’t care about any of this on Reddit: “I won’t play it because it’s 300 GB. And still it streams textures, what? Ridiculous.”

The fact that the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is in Game Pass has delighted the regular player base before. Just a few days ago, many players were upset about the most expensive installment in the “Call of Duty” series ever, but they already have a solution: The new Call of Duty is more expensive than ever – fans suggest: Better buy the Game Pass

Pokémon GO starts today EM event with new routes – But only in 10 cities

In Pokémon GO, a new event has started today in line with the European Championship. However, a large part of the trainers will not be able to fully enjoy it.

What kind of event is this? In conjunction with the Football European Championship, Pokémon GO is bringing an event to Germany that accompanies the tournament. The event in Pokémon GO will take place from June 14, 2024, to July 14, 2024.

Alongside a limited-time research and a bonus, there will also be new official routes for the event. However, this is only if you live in the right cities.

Exclusive content for cities of the EM

What’s the deal with the routes? In addition to the option to create your own routes in Pokémon GO, Niantic can also create official routes. They are doing this now as part of the EM event in Germany. The problem: only the cities that are hosting EM matches will receive them.

This means that there are only official routes for the event in the following cities: Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt (Main), Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, and Stuttgart. All trainers living in other locations will be excluded.

What other content is available in the event? In addition to the limited official routes, there is also a bonus available in the event. This grants you three times the amount of experience points daily at the first spin of a PokéStop or a gym.

This bonus is available to all trainers in Germany and not just in the cities where the routes are activated.

Additionally, there is a free, limited-time research that is active in the event. Trainers will have the opportunity to catch a Voltorb and corresponding candies every week. The first part of this research is already active and will also reward you with 10,000 Stardust and Ultra Balls.

To successfully complete the research and receive all rewards, you need to cover a distance of 16 km.

The limited-time research is also available to all trainers in Germany.

It remains to be questioned why they decided to activate an event in this form only for a limited number of trainers.

What do you think about the event? What do you think about making the routes available only in a few cities? Will you participate to complete the limited-time research? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. You can also find an overview of all events in June 2024 in Pokémon GO with us.

WoW players abduct boss from dungeon, release him in the wilderness

A boss in World of Warcraft Classic is being abducted by players. He then goes on a rampage in the cities – and simply cannot be defeated.

In World of Warcraft, there are occasionally curious bugs and errors. The Classic version of Cataclysm also has some interesting glitches that make some heroes in Stormwind and Orgrimmar raise an eyebrow in surprise. Because on the Cataclysm realms, a boss is currently wandering around in the cities who does not actually belong there.

WoW Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer

What’s going on in WoW Classic? For several days, players in WoW Cataclysm have reported that curious things are happening in the capitals. For instance, you can see the boss Helix Gearbreaker, who actually belongs in the Deadmines. However, he is frequently found in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, fighting against several dozen guards at the same time – but never dying. A little bug and the resulting exploit are the reason.

How does it work? The trick or exploit is not that complicated. You only need to enter the Deadmines and advance to the second boss of the dungeon, Helix Gearbreaker. Then a mage conjures a portal to a capital city and the fight begins. As soon as Helix jumps on the back of a player, that character goes through a portal – and Helix is taken along into the big world.

Since he is considered hostile by all guards everywhere, he is immediately involved in a fight. However, Helix can never die, so he gathers more and more guards and causes some attention with his shouts.

What is so curious about it? Actually, bosses (and all mobs in general) cannot escape from dungeons. After all, they are in a separate instance, and if they wanted to chase a character, they would simply be reset.

There is only one exception in very few cases. For instance, when a debuff on a character causes the mobs to appear afterwards, or in the case of Helix Gearbreaker, when he jumps on the back of a character.

Is this a new bug? No, it has been around since the first release of Cataclysm. However, the bug was fixed after a few days, after some realms even crashed due to too many copies of Helix causing chaos in the capitals.

That this bug is now appearing again in WoW Cataclysm Classic seems to be something that was simply forgotten during development. But after more than a decade, such a small detail can definitely be overlooked, right? Elsewhere, dungeons bring joy – because they are already over in 21 seconds.

Bungie dares to introduce new mission types in Destiny 2, but certain players are not happy about it

Destiny 2 has caused a stir among fans with its new Exo mission “Destiny Duel.” Some love the new mission type for two players, while others condemn it. You can find out why the community is divided here.

What has Bungie developed? With the launch of the first episode: Echos, players were able to find a new secret mission in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler: the Destiny Duel. In this mission, two players are sent to solve puzzles and secure the exotic class item of their equipped class.

With these class items, players can create diverse builds along with the new ultimate “Prismatic.” Many guardians rave about the new mission type and the difficulty of Destiny Duel, but some solo players in the community express their dissatisfaction.

Start video
Bungie shows the future of Destiny 2 after The Final Shape in the new trailer

Group players love it, solo players hate it

What are players complaining about? It’s about the new Exo mission “Destiny Duel.” After enduring a lengthy process to permanently activate the mission, the mission can be accessed through your star map in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler. However, there is a catch: the mission is designed for two players – understandable, as it is a duel.

If that wasn’t bad enough for solo players, communication is especially important. The mission is challenging and tied to specific mechanics that require communication. For players who prefer to play without a headset or keyboard, this is annoying, especially when they want to secure the item.

Many fans are therefore voicing their grievances on Reddit and YouTube. The following opinions can be heard:

  • “The problem is what the problem has always been, Bungie listens to streamers and not to gamers, we don’t always want timers, mechanics, and high stress, we get that at work! Bungie, please respect our limited time.” – DragonGfunk
  • “My problem with it is that it’s not just a single Exo. It cuts off the entire ability to get exotic class items that were somewhat part of the marketing for Prismatic if you don’t succeed.” – CrunksUchiha
  • “Not solo-friendly” is an understatement; it’s actually anti-solo-friendly at this point.” – JesahsuKuristoh
  • “One of the main problems for solo players when it comes to a specific quest is that LFG is only in demand when something is new. So if you don’t jump on it right away, good luck finding someone to do it with in two weeks.” – Mebirduwine

Other players, on the other hand, celebrate the mission and are glad that Bungie has finally put something in place that reflects the character of Destiny 1:

  • “To be honest, this DLC as a whole feels much more like a return to Destiny 1’s gameplay model, where you REALLY want to have some endgame gear to get it.” – Gravy-0
  • “Exactly. I don’t want any more missions like ‘Dunk Ball’ or ‘Stand here and shoot the enemy.’ That was a really nice change of pace.” – Wide_Television747
  • “It’s like a raid for two. And I’m here for it.” – Humorhead
  • “It’s a fantastic mission. You’re missing out if you haven’t done it at least once.” – celestialnative

Do you always have to complete the mission? Actually, no. Every player who has completed Destiny Duel on their current character can easily farm the exotic class items in the “Nerf” activity in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler. You just have to walk around and open chests. Streamers like Aztecross talk about 15 minutes of effort to get one Exo. It’s worth it.

The head of a company explains why working from home is only good for individual employees and never for large teams

Home office or remote work only became truly popular during the Corona pandemic. To this day, home office is controversial in some areas. The CEO of a company now says: Working from home is not a good idea for teams.

Who is speaking? Jake Wood is the CEO of the company Groundswell. Groundswell is a corporate philanthropy firm. In a post on LinkedIn, he explained that home office is not a good idea in large companies. This is mainly because very high-performing individuals enhance the productivity of their surroundings. And if they stay away, performance decreases. This is reported by Spanish colleagues from Genbeta.com.

Good team players enhance the performance of colleagues, which is not possible in a home office

What exactly does he say? According to the CEO, a person may be able to work on time and to standard in a remote environment, but it is always necessary to consider colleagues:

High performers enhance the performance of those around them. This is severely hampered when top talents (who benefit most from remote work) work from home.

This leads to much of the rest of the company working inefficiently. New employees are integrated more slowly. And he agrees with studies that state that junior staff cannot develop professionally when high performers are absent. He also notes:

If you don’t care about improving others’ performance, that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. But maybe you prefer to be a freelancer who can work where and how they want rather than a full-time employee.

For this reason, he considers home office to be rather counterproductive and disadvantageous. He also adds that work is not about personal productivity or performance. It is more about being a good team player and “contributing to enhancing others’ performance. Even if a top employee would ultimately deliver more performance at home in the home office than if they were sitting in the office.

More on employees: An employee of a company regularly caused the system of their firm to crash to be able to make money. But when he took a vacation, it was discovered that he was behind the problems. He has now been convicted, but he got off lightly: Employee intentionally programmed errors into his software for years so that he always had work – Caught because he took a vacation

„How like a tech demo and costs 30 €“ – The most realistic bodycam shooter on Steam causes mixed feelings

For more than a week, the shooter Bodycam has been in Early Access on Steam. This gives players enough time to try out whether the game can meet their expectations.

What kind of game is this? Bodycam is a first-person shooter developed with Unreal Engine 5 and was released on Steam about a week ago. The multiplayer shooter, which focuses on PvP, has a unique feature: it allows you to experience the game from the perspective of a bodycam.

The immersive feeling of being right in the action is created by the shooter’s graphic style. The developers pay attention to making everything as realistic as possible and to incorporating many details. With this concept, the shooter garnered attention on social media early on.

Here you can watch the Bodycam trailer:

Just an expensive tech demo?

How is Bodycam received on Steam? For more than a week, the ultra-realistic shooter has been in Early Access on Steam. The shooter has received a “mostly positive” rating with 72% based on over 11,000 votes. Currently, over 8,000 players are playing the game during peak times.

Players have mixed reactions to the state of the game. For some, the shooter is just a tech demo, while for others, it’s a successful change of pace:

mystoboy writes on Steam: “The game currently feels like a tech demo and costs €30. I wouldn’t spend more than €10 on it right now. The peer-to-peer servers don’t work well, as the host often leaves the game after the first death. Of the 30 minutes I played, I spent 15 minutes trying to find a lobby where I could actually play. […]”

TryhardXD;) wishes for something on Steam: “Good game, but we need an offline mode with bots!” SoulofFlesh writes on Steam: “I’ll rate this as quite fun and unique, and I won’t give up on it just because they aren’t ‘experienced developers’. […]”

Ischke writes on Steam: “[…] Although the game is in Early Access and has some bugs, there are far fewer than one would expect from a game of this kind. The focus is on realism and extremely loud, very very loud weapons. One must get used to the movements and actually think about their actions. I have much more fun with this game than, for example, R6 [Rainbow Six: Siege]. […]”

What else is planned for Bodycam this year? The developers of Bodycam have already shared a roadmap with their plans for the rest of 2024. Initial priorities are bug fixes and various improvements to performance, anti-cheat, and other aspects. New maps are also set to be added soon.

Later in the year, the promised zombie mode is also expected to arrive. In addition to new weapons, further maps, and character skins, they are also working on Nvidia DLSS support.

Towards the end of the year, a new game mode, new maps, a photo mode, and additional languages are set to be introduced. Bodycam is not the only shooter that went viral with ultra-realism. The shooter Unrecord also garnered a lot of attention early on, with videos of its gameplay.

Destiny 2: How to find the new Exotic Class Items and farm them efficiently

In Destiny 2 there has been an exotic mission in “The Final Shape” since the launch of Episode: Echos, through which you can access the Exotic Class Items. This is how you can find the mission “Destiny Duel” and how to best farm the Exos.

What are the Exotic Class Items? Since the Traveler has been freed from the Witness and Episode: Echos has launched, Guardians can indulge in a new powerful item for their arsenal – the Exotic Class Items. These items fit into the class slot and are of exotic nature.

The special thing about these items: they grant your Guardian two additional effects from Exotic Armor. This means that if you equip such an item on your Guardian, it would be as if you were wearing two Exotic Armors – but in a weaker form.

Important Information about the Class Item
  • You can only equip the items if you have the Ultimate “Prismatic” equipped.
  • You can only wear one Exotic Armor or a Class Item – both do not work.

However, the problem is that these items are not easy to obtain. You need to make a small effort before you can wear such a unique item on your arm, shoulders, or hips. That’s why we will briefly and thoroughly show you how to quickly get these Exos and how to farm them quickly as well.

More about the future of Destiny 2 was revealed by Bungie in its last stream:

Start video

How to find the Exotic Class Items

How do I unlock the Exos? To earn the Exotic Class Items, you must unlock the Exotic mission “Destiny Duel.” To unlock the mission, you first need to complete the campaign of “The Final Shape” so that you have access to the patrol zones of the Blighted Heart.

Once you have done that, you need to complete the regional activity “Topple” in the areas: the Outskirt, the Bloom, and the Dead End.

After you have done that, the “Secret Keepers of the Witch Queen” will spawn when you complete a “Topple” activity in the three areas. You now need to find and defeat them. This means you will have to play “Topple” again in each of the three areas and eliminate the three Witches.

Nexxoss shows you from minute 1:24 where the individual Witches are located in their respective areas:

What you should keep in mind when defeating the Witches

Completing the “Topple” activity activates a timer that ticks down slowly. In these 5 minutes, you must find and eliminate the Witch in your area. If you do not do this, the Witch will despawn and you will have to complete Topple again in the respective area.

Once you have found and defeated the Witches, you need to return to the area “The Bloom.” When you spawn, you will see a green glowing pillar of light reaching into the sky towards the Traveler’s opening. You need to go there now. Follow the direction until you arrive at the cave “The Refraction of Light.”

Upon entering the cave, a 7-minute countdown will start. In this countdown, you must find your way outside and into the area where Ikora’s ship crashed. You will see two pyramids spawn. You now need to clear the areas beneath the pyramids of enemies until a Herald and an Omen spawn each. Defeat both and they will drop a Light Orb and a Darkness Orb respectively.

You must quickly bring these Orbs back to the cave “The Refraction of Light.” Depending on which Orb you are holding, you must deposit it onto a plate of Darkness or Light. Once you have done this, the mission “Destiny Duel” will be permanently activated. Now you must complete the mission, and afterward, you can claim a Class Item for your class.

Keep in mind that you can only complete the mission as a duo squad. So you need a buddy to help you. The mission cannot be started solo.

How can I best farm the Exos? There are two ways to farm the Exos:

  • You farm the mission “Destiny Duel.”
  • You collect normal chests in “Topple” after you have completed the Exo mission once.

Completing the mission grants you a Class Item per run (duration about 20-30 minutes) depending on your speed. The problem, however, is that you always have to be in pairs. This is especially a downside for solo players.

The variant with the chests in Topple is easier and faster. Players have found that after 15-20 minutes of farming, they were able to obtain an Exotic Class Item. Streamers like Aztecross also recommend farming chests in the areas where the Ergo-Sum can currently be farmed. This way, you maximize your farming rounds.

You need to farm these items because the perks in the Class Items are always random. So if you want a God Roll for your build, you will necessarily have to choose one of the options.

Have you managed to obtain an Exotic Class Item or are you still in the process of finding a second player? Let us know your opinion in the comments. Destiny 2 shows what to expect after The Final Shape, talking about vampire hunters and captains

Destiny 2: Exotic Class Items and Their Perks in German – Overview of All Combinations

Bungie has ensured that players can now indulge in new and powerful exotic class items in Destiny 2 with its latest exotic mission “Destiny Duel”. We will show you which perks are available for which classes.

Update, June 14, 2024: We have updated the article and added all important perks along with descriptions.

What are exotic class items? In Destiny 2, Guardians have the opportunity to equip exotic weapons and armor to benefit from powerful perks that are unique. These can change entire playstyles and thus allow for a variety of builds.

Exotic class items were also introduced with Destiny 1, but they were linked to political factions and were mostly cosmetic. With “The Final Shape“, exotic class items are finally set to return in Destiny 2. This time, however, they are not only cosmetic but also offer various exotic perks from exo armor that Guardians should know about.

Which perks those are and why Bungie still needs to tone down the items, you will find out here.

The names of the exotics have been included in the tables as a guideline so you know what functions the perks have. Bungie will adjust some of these effects at the release of “The Final Shape” to ensure that some combinations are not too powerful.

You should be powerful, but not too powerful

How is the system supposed to work? Unlike their older versions from Destiny 1, the exotic class items equip you with two exotic perks from known exo armors. The perks appear randomly, so you cannot choose them and must rely on your RNG luck.

You will receive the items from the exo mission “Destiny Duel”, which you must first activate. It is tied to prerequisites that you must complete before you can activate it. Unfortunately, the mission can only be played in pairs and is quite challenging. Find out how you can get it here.

This item feels like wearing two exos at the same time – but in a toned-down form. However, note that there is one annoying catch.

Is there a catch? Yes, because although the gear is powerful, you can only use the items if you are using the new subclass “Prismatic”. The Light and Darkness classes do not benefit from the exotic class items and cannot be equipped when you have these active.

What do you think about the exotic class items? Are you already busy crafting strong builds? Let us know your opinion in the comments!

WoW loses another chief – John Hight is stepping down

World of Warcraft has suffered another loss. A long-time developer is leaving Blizzard to start something new.

In recent months and years, there have been repeated reports that key figures in the World of Warcraft team have left one after another – or have been fired. Now another person, who has played a leading role in WoW in recent years, is disappearing.

The next expansion of World of Warcraft will be coming soon:

Start video
WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within

What did John Hight do? John Hight was at Blizzard for a total of 12 years and most recently served as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the entire Warcraft franchise – which includes not only World of Warcraft but also Hearthstone and Warcraft Rumble.

After joining Blizzard in 2011, he was a Senior Producer for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria and Production Director for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. After serving in the same role for WoW: Battle for Azeroth, he then became the Franchise General Manager of the game.

Why is Hight leaving? On X, Hight spoke up and announced that he is leaving Blizzard. He also thanks the community and praises them especially for their passion. He says:

After 12 incredible years at Blizzard, I have decided to step down and begin a new quest.

This was a tough decision, but I believe that now is a good time for it: Warcraft is in a fantastic position as the universe turns 30.

It has been an honor to serve all the heroes of Azeroth.

You are the most passionate, dedicated, and creative community in gaming. You are the reason I have poured my heart and soul into creating the best possible games. You have inspired me, challenged me, and made me a stronger developer.

Where is Hight going now? What Hight plans to do next is still not entirely clear. However, it seems he wants to remain anchored in video game development at least. He continues:

I can’t say exactly where my journey will take me now, but I look forward to exploring new opportunities and challenges in the industry and continuing to create great games with talented people.

In the future, Hight also wants to continue experiencing World of Warcraft – but only as a player and no longer in a leading position. We will surely hear in the coming months and years where he has landed. After all, many other Blizzard employees have gone on to found new studios or join other companies – such as Ghostcrawler, who is working on a new MMORPG.

“Here it is real” – LoL pro looks back on his switch to the team of HandOfBlood

League of Legends” professional PowerOfEvil talks in an entertaining YouTube video about the reasons for his switch to Eintracht Spandau, the LoL club of Twitch streamer HandOfBlood.

Who is it about? This is about the LoL professional Tristan PowerOfEvil Schrage, who was at times one of the strongest mid laners in the LCS. In a new video on YouTube, he speaks in a kind of “fun interview” about his switch to Eintracht Spandau – and why he prefers Eintracht Spandau to a major club.

In his usual exaggerated manner, we see an interview and a recap of how HandOfBlood, in his role as high-Elo consultant, tries to win over the player for Eintracht Spandau.

Recently, the team won the Prime League and the EMEA Masters:

Start video
HandOfBlood wanted to change e-sports with his LoL team, now he is finally the German champion

No more fake niceties

Even if the video probably didn’t happen exactly this way – HandOfBlood likely didn’t wave a fruit basket in front of the professional’s face – it still has a kernel of truth.

What does the video show? In the video, PowerOfEvil is stereotypically seen walking through a villa in a bathrobe. He is followed by HandOfBlood in his role as high-Elo consultant, who wants to convince him to switch to Eintracht Spandau. He promises him luxury and glamour. However, PowerOfEvil is not interested in that because he does not want luxury at all.

The high-Elo consultant makes various offers to the professional player in the video. If he comes to Spandau, he will be “the true superstar.” The consultant notes that his counterpart is “a pretty tough cookie” and tries to convince him with private cars including a chauffeur, catering, and fruit baskets.

However, he cannot impress PowerOfEvil because: He has already had all that – this “fake niceness.” Real sports are of “no interest” anymore. He wants something “real” for once.

According to the story in the video, PowerOfEvil returned from LA to Germany, after he was left without a team and was actually not planning to play as a professional anymore.

“Spandau is different, but real”

What convinced PowerOfEvil? Eventually, the high-Elo consultant convinces “Mr. Evil” of his club – because: Spandau is not all “glitz and glamour.” The consultant is just trying to sell it that way. There is a “real fan pub with ultras, but also a real fan culture.” They do not play LEC there, but “this Prime League.” Spandau is different, but “real.”

This way, the consultant ultimately impresses the professional player. The “new offer from the LEC,” which the interview partner mentions in one scene, does not matter to PowerOfEvil. A switch is out of the question for PowerOfEvil; after all, he did not go to Eintracht Spandau for fame or money. He doesn’t need any “special treatment.”

Reactions from the community: Although not everything happened exactly that way, the community is moved by the scenes – as is often the case with the elaborately produced videos from Eintracht Spandau.

Fans not only emphasize that the video is typically funny and totally exaggerated, but the recap of how PowerOfEvil came to Eintracht Spandau seems to excite them as well.

Some users write:

  • JustJisatsu writes: Imagine such an “origin story” would exist in the future for every new member that shows their way to Eintracht.
  • eliasgerber3528 notes: If the president had also talked about the strawberries in the fruit basket besides the bananas, then Mr. Evil would have thrown around the signature.
  • ybchimp3069 comments: I want this book from the president! Thanks, once again great content. I missed these scripted videos.

Around the club Eintracht Spandau, there is not only a pronounced fan culture including ultras, but also an elaborate lore. A central part of it is HandOfBlood in his role as President Knabe. What makes his role so special, you can read here: President Knabe – What makes HandOfBlood’s role so good

Horror legend Stephen King was persuaded to watch a movie that many find bad – and he is thrilled

Stephen King, known as the master of horror and author of numerous bestsellers (Pet Sematary, Carrie), has targeted a new movie on Netflix. The audience did not receive the film well – but King finds particularly the ending incredible.

Which film is it about? In the Water of the Seine is a French shark horror movie that premiered worldwide on June 5, 2024, on Netflix. It is about a mutated shark that disrupts the preparations for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The environmental activist Mika (played by Léa Léviant) informs marine biologist Sophia (played by Bérénice Bejo) about the mutated shark that has wandered into the Seine. To prevent an impending bloodbath, the two women team up with water police officer Adil (played by Nassim Lyes).

Here you can see the trailer for In the Water of the Seine:

Stephen King praises In the Water of the Seine

What does Stephen King say about the film? Actually, Stephen King reportedly did not even want to watch the film according to his X post. But the community there convinced him to give director Xavier Gens’ work (Hitman) a chance. He initially expected the film to be like Sharknado.

Stephen King writes the following on June 13 on X:

I thought In the Water of the Seine would be a fun movie like SHARKNADO, but Twitter convinced me to watch it, and it’s really quite good. The last 25 minutes were incredible.

Stephen King on X

Regularly, Stephen King shares recommendations for movies, series, books, and even music with his followers on X/Twitter. He has already recommended sci-fi series like 3 Body and films like Godzilla Minus One and The Coffee Table. MeinMMO author Niko Hernes is also excited about Godzilla Minus One and finally had goosebumps after a long time.

How is the film received? In the Water of the Seine climbed to the top of the Netflix charts. Nevertheless, the shark film also struggles with poor ratings. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film suffers from a score of 35% with audiences. The film has a rating of 5.3 stars on IMDb with over 12,000 ratings.

Despite everything, the film is currently one of the most popular on Netflix. Maybe even more now that the horror legend Stephen King praises the shark film. Have you seen the film already and what do you think of it? Are you team miserable or team grandiose? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Stephen King is particularly shocked by a series on Netflix: Netflix: The story of a man and his stalker even shocks Stephen King

What does the woman share with the community? This is the user Jasmynrose29, who reports about her severe illness in a post on Reddit and how The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has helped her.

In her post, she mentions that she has a severe genetic condition that ties her to her home or the hospital.

She is grateful to be able to escape to a world where she has a capable body, with which she can, for example, run, even if it’s just for a few minutes a day.

In summary, she tells the community in her post that she simply wanted to say “thank you,” as the game has significantly enhanced her quality of life.

How does the community respond? Users respond with many kind words for the creator on her post. For example, user Radiant_Relations writes under her post on Reddit: I just want to say something positive. Stay strong. Many more such comments follow under her post.

Other users also give her tips on how to make ESO more enjoyable, especially during times when she has to go to the hospital. User AssassinWolf72 suggests in a comment on Reddit that she could also play on a Steam Deck. This way, she can easily enjoy the game there despite her hospital stay.

The user responds to many comments under her post, which seem to touch her visibly. She writes under one comment on Reddit that it warmed her heart.

ESO is not the only MMORPG where players have had positive experiences with the community. A newcomer in WoW was surprised that he found the community to be so positive. You can read more about it here: “The community is not toxic at all” – WoW newcomer is amazed that everyone is so nice

Diablo 4: Season 4 has been exciting players for a month, now Season 5 is announced – And you can test it beforehand

Season 4 has been running in Diablo 4 for a month now and is doing many things right. Blizzard is already announcing Season 5 – and you can again test it in advance on a PTR.

On May 14, Season 4 started, so it has been exactly a month. The season is well received by a large part of the players. Some say: This is how Diablo 4 could have been from the start. Many praise especially the revamped Helltides and the adjustments to the endgame. This has been criticized since release; now players find: The endgame is finally fun.

In a post on the Diablo 4 forum, community manager Adam Fletcher announced on June 13 that the next update for Diablo 4 would be the Mid-Season Patch. However, this time there will not be the usual livestream for the patch. Instead, the team will talk about Season 5 in a stream. A PTR is also planned.

Start video

Season 5 will have a PTR

What do the developers announce? In the forum of Diablo 4, Adam Fletcher writes that there will be a stream on June 21, where the team will talk about Season 5. Fletcher specifically states that the upcoming livestream will be a “Season 5 PTR Campfire Chat.”

So we now know that there will again be a PTR (Public Test Realm) for Season 5, where you can test the new content in advance. However, according to Fletcher, the patch for the Mid-Season will come first, which will include “a lot of significant updates for the game, class balance, and more.”

When can I test Season 5? Nothing specific is known so far. Diablo expert and Twitch streamer wudijo suspects in his post on X that June 25 or July 2 could be possible start dates for the PTR for Season 5. In both cases, that would be a Tuesday. Also, the PTR for Season 4 started on a Tuesday, April 2, and ended a week later.

When will the Mid-Season Update come? The team initially planned to release the Mid-Season Update after the completion of the PTR. However, it is “better for all players” if it is released before that. Blizzard will publish the patch notes on June 14, and the update itself “sometime next week.”

As justification, Fletcher writes in the post:

Well, the PTR for Season 5 would contain some of these changes from the Mid-Season Update, and we didn’t want to put players in a “whiplash” situation when they switch back to Season 4 after the completion of the PTR. Therefore, we believe it’s best for everyone to deliver the Mid-Season Update earlier.

Adam Fletcher, us.forums.blizzard.com

In the world of Sanctuary, “a lot is happening,” Fletcher notes. Here’s what we already know:

  • On June 14, the patch notes for Patch 1.4.3 will be released
  • On June 21, the “Season 5 PTR Campfire Chat” livestream will take place
  • On July 18, a stream about the new class, the “Spiritborn” will take place, where players will get a “deeper insight” into the class according to Fletcher
  • Season 4 is expected to end on August 6 – at least that is what is shown in the character selection in Diablo 4. Season 5 will then follow.

In the coming weeks, the Diablo 4 team will provide more information about Season 5, the PTR, and the specific stream times. Recently, Patch 1.4.2 was released, which included not only adjustments to drops and bosses in the dungeon but also surprisingly brought companions into the game: Diablo 4: New patch brings companions just the way fans have wanted them since release

Twitch streamer Trymacs goes on a scooter tour and there is already an accident on the first day

Twitch-streamer Trymacs regularly plans larger projects, to which he invites other streamers. On June 8, he started a scooter tour from Milan to Munich, which he livestreams on Twitch. And already on the first day of the tour, there was an accident.

What kind of tour is this? Twitch streamer Trymacs continually plans larger projects, inviting other streamers to join. Most recently, he started a fitness challenge with his colleagues – his goal is to become more athletic again.

On June 8, Trymacs started a scooter tour that begins in Milan and leads back to Munich via Lake Constance, covering a total of 600 km. He captures the whole experience in his streams on his Twitch channel, allowing his viewers to participate in this experience. Also joining him are streamer colleagues such as Nooreax, noahzett28, and Zarbex.

“This shows how important a helmet is”

Who had an accident? Even though Trymacs is organizing the scooter tour from Milan to Munich, he is not the one who got injured right at the beginning of the tour. It was his Twitch colleague Nooreax who fell, as seen in the video on YouTube.

Trymacs seems to believe that Nooreax was quite lucky. Apparently, the group is watching a video of the accident together, and Trymacs comments that he could have broken his arm as well. “This shows how important a helmet is,” notes Trymacs. After the accident, Nooreax is still able to ride normally, as the helmet likely prevented worse injuries.

Below you can see the first day of the scooter tour in the YouTube video. The accident happens at 10:15 minutes:

How did the accident happen? The accident apparently occurred due to a sudden stop by one of the participants. Trymacs, who was riding close behind Nooreax, braked harder, according to Nooreax’s statement, which caused him to make a full stop. He then fell forward and hit the ground with his helmet.

In IRL streams, injuries can happen quickly. But it can also happen while playing video games. For instance, streamer Honeypuu suffered such a serious injury during a Valorant tournament that she ended up in the emergency room.

Doom impresses fans with brutal weapons, but the names are really silly

Recently, the new Doom: The Dark Ages was revealed at the XBOX Games Showcase. While the trailer consists almost entirely of gameplay, the players’ interest is almost more focused on the crazy weapons. Now, a developer has spoken about it.

What kind of weapons are they? The new “Doom: The Dark Ages” trailer thrilled fans of the series. ID Software showcased nearly two minutes of gameplay in the trailer. However, the viewers also focused on the three different weapons that were featured in the trailer.

On YouTube, the following comments can be found under the trailer:

  • @renehoidal: “A shotgun that crushes demon skulls as ammunition – brilliant!”
  • @ColorblindMonk: “A machine gun with skulls as ammunition is exactly what I want from Doom”
  • @ChristianHuye: “Doom with a chainsaw shield is what I needed to see today”

The weapons in the new installment of the Doom series not only look brutal, they also have equally fitting names.

Here you can watch the trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages.

Start video
DOOM: The Dark Ages – Announcement trailer of the new hell shooter

“We are very good at naming.”

What are the names of the weapons from the trailer? Three weapons stand out in the trailer, which Doom’s creative director Hugo Martin comments on.

He says that the studio has made it their mission to “design the weapons in a way that they feel like the most powerful ones you have ever held in a Doom game, like the Skull Crusher you saw in the teaser.”

The Skull Crusher crushes skulls to fire at enemies. A weapon that probably only exists in Doom. The studio was creative in naming the weapons. “It’s called Skull Crusher because it crushes skulls,” he chuckles in an interview with Gamesradar.

Even with the other weapons, the creative director stays true to himself. The shield with the built-in chainsaw is called Shield Saw. “Then we have the Shield Saw, because it’s a chainsaw and a shield,” says Martin in the interview.

The last weapon from the trailer is a kind of spear thrower that quickly shoots long bolts. “The Rail Spike Gun is also shown in the teaser – we call it that because it shoots massive spikes,” says Martin. He believes the team is “very good at naming things.”

When is Doom: The Dark Ages supposed to be released? The release of the new Doom title is scheduled for 2025. The game is set to appear on PS5, XBOX Series X, PC, and in the Gamepass. This will make the new Doom one of the first games from Microsoft that will also be released on the Playstation. As the name suggests, the game sends you to the Middle Ages.

Another Steam hit even outperformed Palworld in the survival genre and has now been released on the Playstation 5 after two years in early access on Steam. The vampire survival game thrilled PC players even before its release and was considered a hidden gem until it skyrocketed at launch: The survival game V Rising is available on PS5 today, after launching as a hidden gem on Steam two years ago

Helldivers 2 finally shows you in the game the information that can determine victory or defeat

A new update from Helldivers 2 has been released that is supposed to improve many things at once; you will finally receive the information you need to defeat your enemies.

What kind of update is this? The new update for Helldivers 2 was released even before the new Warbond “Viper Commandos,” but the Warbond was not delayed. The new patch should delight players because this time almost nothing was nerfed, and actually, everything that was previously not so strong received a fresh coat of paint.

A new feature for the world map will also help you work better with the General Orders.

You can see the new Warbond “Viper Commandos” here in the trailer:

Start video
Helldivers 2 sends you into the jungle with the new Warbond „Viper Commandos“

Map update makes coordination easier

What is this new feature? The world map of Helldivers 2 has received a new feature. You can now see the supply lines, or the reinforcement lines between the planets, in the game. This allows you to cut off the opponents from supplies and conquer the galaxy more easily.

Previously, one had to view the supply lines on external websites. A guide on how to best deal with the information you gain can be found here: Helldivers 2: Supply Lines Map – This is how you stop the hostile takeover of planets.

But not only was the hub on the spaceship modified, but also the balance and fairness were tweaked. The planet modifiers and hazards like fire tornadoes or the thorny plant have been revised to provide you with fairer rounds.

Who cares about yesterday’s balance?

What has changed regarding the balance? In Helldivers 2, the new update has practically changed everything. There were few nerfs and many buffs, especially for equipment, weapons, and stratagems that were previously rather weak.

In a detailed report on Steam, former CEO Johan Pilestedt took time to explain almost every change in detail. Regarding the patch’s goal, he writes: “With these balance changes, we wanted to enhance some of the weaker stratagems to make them more viable and bring more variety to the equipment.”

Weapons like the AR-61 Tenderizer, the PLAS-101 Purifier, or the R-36 Eruptor rifle have been buffed. Additionally, weapons that fire small calibers now deal a bit more damage to enemies.

As for the stratagems, the sentries received a buff; they can now withstand more. Furthermore, the “Machine Gun” sentry and the “Rocket” sentry received a buff to distinguish them a bit more from the “Autocannon” sentry and the “Gatling” sentry.

Those who prefer a more relaxed experience can also be pleased, as the rarest samples are now available starting from difficulty level 6. Today, the new Warbond Viper Commandos is also being released, which offers several new weapons, equipment, and skins for you for the first time: Helldivers 2 brings Rambo and changed mechs in the new update, but the community is eyeing another feature

Baldur’s Gate 3: Thousands have received the game ‘for free’ – Larian says: ‘Oh, that’s fine’

Many have unintentionally acquired Baldur’s Gate 3 – without knowing it. The developer doesn’t mind much and even gifts the game to them.

When gaming companies accidentally give something away, the mistake is usually rectified quite quickly. A free DLC, an incorrect unlock – a quick patch fixes such quirks. But Larian is different and says about Baldur’s Gate 3: It’s fine, you can keep it.

What was the problem? Those wanting to buy the physical version of the Collector’s Edition of Baldur’s Gate 3 had to wait quite a long time. In many cases, it has just been delivered and is reaching people now.

However, buyers had already received a key in advance to redeem, with which they could unlock the Collector’s Edition DLC – which includes some cosmetic goodies.

However, the code on Xbox actually unlocked the entire game.

Those who noticed this were able to use their DLC code to obtain Baldur’s Gate 3 or simply pass this code on to a friend or acquaintance.

What has Larian done now? In a message to the community, Larian has explained that they have now acknowledged the mistake. However, the people who wrongfully possess the game will not have it taken away. They are allowed to keep the full version, even if the code was not supposed to unlock it.

Additionally, those affected will receive another DLC code to finally unlock it.

This is how the community reacts: They celebrate Larian’s approach. They believe others should take a leaf out of this book. Because other companies, according to some fans, would have turned this into a huge PR disaster and either deactivated the versions or taken additional money from fans in other ways. Larian’s good handling of the community simply shows that they know how good their game actually is.

The fact that Larian does exactly that and instead says “It’s fine” makes them a hero in the eyes of many.
