Mark Gatiss, one of the creators of the BBC series Sherlock, recently gave an update on the status of a sequel featuring the famous detective.
Who is Mark Gatiss? Mark Gatiss is, alongside Steven Moffat, the creator of the well-known series Sherlock, in which Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman solve thrilling cases as the famous investigative duo in modern-day London.
In an interview with Deadline, Mark Gatiss spoke about the continuation of the series and explained what complicates the realization of the project.
Here you can see a trailer for the first episode of the BBC series Sherlock:

Busy schedules seem to be the problem
According to the series creator, the production team still plans to produce a film as a sequel to the series instead of a 5th season.
However, one thing complicates the implementation:
We would love to make a film, but it is very difficult to get everyone together.
Mark Gatiss further explained that if you want concrete answers about the film, you have to “ask Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Martin [Freeman].”
Especially since two sought-after Hollywood actors play the lead roles in Sherlock, it currently seems difficult to fit the project into their busy schedules.
As early as July last year, Mark Gatiss announced that instead of another season, a film would be made.
He stated that it is “the logical consequence” to continue the series with a film after its end.
If you want to watch the entire Sherlock series with all four seasons again, you can currently stream it with a subscription on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

In two days, the first ARPG from the Ori developers will launch on Steam. It has already made a mark with its beautiful and unique graphics and the new trailer only adds to the excitement.
What game is this about?No Rest For The Wicked is the first ARPG from Moon Studios, the developers behind the popular Ori games. With this game, they want to venture into a whole new genre, and just based on graphics, they could very well achieve a complete success again.
While many might initially think of a new competitor for Diablo, No Rest For The Wicked, with its tactical and challenging combat, is supposed to remind more of Dark Souls. As a ruthless and precise action RPG, the developers want to reinvent the genre, as stated on the official Steam page.
On April 18, 2024, the game will launch on Steam in Early Access. A release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will follow later.
Just before the release, a beautifully picturesque trailer is once again generating excitement among players:

No Rest For The Wicked startet endlich auf Steam
What does the trailer show? The trailer once again focuses on the hand-drawn world of No Rest For The Wicked and also showcases some gameplay scenes.
In previous trailers, players praised the unique art style. Each scene of the game feels like a painting, and the gameplay appears as if you are guiding the character over such a canvas.
The new trailer especially highlights how detailed and lovingly crafted the world is. Every corner seems well thought-out and contributes to the dark, mysterious atmosphere of the game. You also get a glimpse into the story and the individual characters.
What does the community say? The comments under the trailer (via YouTube) once again clearly show that players are especially excited about the art style and are also looking forward to the upcoming RPG.
One user writes that the artists behind the graphics definitely deserve a raise. Another user even states that developers like Moon Studios are bringing hope back to the gaming industry with such games.
In his comment, another user expresses his excitement: “I’m as excited as a child, just release it already.”
The user Haken00 writes in his comment: “This is the game we never thought we wanted, but when it was finally shown to us, we realized that the ARPG genre was always meant to evolve in this direction.”
The Russian Erkhan “gokushima” Bagynanov (23) is considered a great talent in Counter-Strike 2 (Steam). In October 2023, he turned professional: But now, his career takes a brutal turn. He has been caught cheating and banned for 2 years. However, many believe this punishment might still be too lenient.
This is the official announcement: The Russian shooter pro gokushima has been banned from Counter-Strike 2 for 2 years. He may participate in tournaments again starting March 26, 2026. This decision was made by ESIC, the commission for integrity in esports (via esic).
It states:
The player violated the Code of Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Code
Especially in the points dealing with corruption and betting
The report states: “This investigation was initiated following the receipt of a detailed interrogation protocol and supporting evidence, including confessions indicating match manipulations.”

Russian considered a great talent
This is the situation: The 23-year-old Russian secured a contract with the Tier-2 team FORZE after years in lower-tier tournaments and offline events in October 2023.
He demonstrated amazing talent in the professional scene and had a rating of 1.12 according to HLTX; which speaks for a very good player.
After the ban, he was removed from his team’s roster.
What is he accused of? He is accused of match-fixing. This refers to when a player intentionally loses games to influence the outcome of a sports bet.
Why is the case being discussed so excitedly? The case has caused quite a stir in the Counter-Strike 2 community in recent days. There is no official confirmation, but the community discusses that gokushima’s betting involved large sums. This has been reported by high-Elo players.
Allegedly, he defrauded about $300,000 through “match-fixing and selling cheats” (via twitter).
Therefore, the community is discussing that the punishment was too lenient (via reddit) – especially considering the low cost of living in Russia.
The player could simply start playing Counter-Strike 2 again in two years, as he has the talent for it. And if he invests the money wisely, he could come out of this situation with a considerable profit, is the general sentiment.
One person says (via twitter): If gokushima is clever, he takes 10% of his earnings and gives it to his lawyers and the league, then they will allow him to play again, after all he is one of their greatest talents.
Whether gokushima was really able to scam that much money is unknown. However, Counter-Strike 2 is currently one of the games where the most money is being exchanged. The volumes in the game are enormous:
That game developers often collaborate with providers of other products to create a marketing campaign is nothing new. However, the new partnership of Guild Wars 2 shines with a green thumb and a beautiful idea.
What kind of partnership is this? The responsible parties from Agency for Nature, Wieden+Kennedy, and Arenanet have jointly launched the SeedSaga initiative. The slogan: “Play. Grow. Touch Grass.”
Fans of Guild Wars 2 and/or interested garden owners can bring home some plants from Tyria for free. Specifically, it’s about seeds for the following plants:
Blooming Passionflower: A valuable resource that embodies the essence of Tyrian nature with its detailed and exotic petals. A harvest offers valuable materials and hidden treasures.
Flax: A slender beauty crowned with delicate blue flowers. This plant opens up a world of versatility and provides players with the materials to craft rare items and powerful elixirs.
Red Sunflower: This extraordinary bloom enchants not only with its bright petals and golden center but also with its unparalleled value. This rare plant is essential for the most coveted weapons in Tyria.
Guild Wars 2 takes you into the fantastic world of Tyria:

Each pack of seeds comes with a reusable guide and a shiny collector’s card, which can also be used as a plant card for the garden. You can find more details about the three plants from Tyria in this overview.
Nice idea with a twist
What requirements do I need to meet in order to participate in the campaign? Unfortunately, participation is currently limited to seed enthusiasts from the United Kingdom. Additionally, one must provide a name and email address on the official Seed Saga website and explain why they should receive a portion of the limited seeds.
One underlying thought of the campaign is likely to obtain contact details from all participants in a simple way. It remains unclear how these details will be used afterwards. Nevertheless, the campaign stands out positively from comparable partnerships.
Thematically, it just fits perfectly to bring the plants of a beautiful fantasy world like Tyria into the gardens of fans. Plus, it’s never a bad idea to make the world a little greener and more natural. It’s just unfortunate that the campaign is limited to the UK.
The campaign does mention that this is just the first edition. What we can expect for future editions is unknown. Perhaps the upcoming campaigns will focus on other fantasy worlds, or they might also take place in other countries.
The series finale of the HBO hit Game of Thrones was not well received by many fans at all. In an interview, the creators of the series, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, commented on the negative viewer reactions.
In the podcast Happy Sad Confused with Josh Horowitz, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, together with Alexander Woo, spoke about their new series 3 Body Problem.
They also discussed Game of Thrones, and the interviewer addressed the numerous negative reactions to the series finale.
Many viewers at the time heavily criticized certain character developments, such as those of Daenerys, and also the way the story was continued – there was even a petition demanding a reshoot. You can read more about it here with our colleagues at Moviepilot.

“We definitely didn’t want there to be so much hate”
Josh Horowitz asked in the interview whether the two creators had anticipated the viewer reactions and discussions surrounding the series finale.
Benioff explained that while they were aware that it would divide opinions, they had expected more balanced, positive reactions:
“I think we knew it would be controversial. I think we had hoped it would be a little more 50:50 divided. I think you hope for a better ratio of … we definitely didn’t want there to be so much hate […]”

Weiss added that they had underestimated the effect of social media, where negative opinions were spread and amplified:
“I guess I didn’t really consider the network effects. You know. The network effects that can help a show when they work in its favor are a positive feedback loop. […]”
But instead of positive feedback, in his view, the negative reactions were amplified. Even if one liked the finale of Game of Thrones, the backlash on social media would have made it impossible to celebrate it properly:
“[…] It’s hypocritical to love it [the finale of Game of Thrones] when the wind is blowing in your favor and to decide that it’s the end of the world when it’s blowing the other way […] I think that might have been the part we didn’t really consider because we knew some people would like it and others wouldn’t.”
More and more players are sharing their experiences with Throne and Liberty, which is set to be released in the West sometime in 2024. In one area, this MMORPG hope could surpass all competitors. However, an age-old problem plaguing online role-playing games with a Free2Play model is causing frustration.
What does Throne and Liberty do particularly well? In the new MMORPG from NCSoft, you can expect battles where more than 1,000 players can clash. As reported by MeinMMO, a closed test of Throne and Liberty on West servers is currently taking place, and players are excited about the epic mass brawls.
Coconutham says on Reddit that the game’s performance during a siege with more than 1,000 participants didn’t drop below 60 frames per second. i_am_Misha also reports on Reddit: Whether it’s 10 vs. 10, 100 vs. 100, or 1,000 vs. 1,000, there was apparently zero lag, no issues, and only minor impacts on the frame rate.
The beta of Throne and Liberty is running, here you can see the corresponding trailer:
Start video
Throne and Liberty showcases itself in the German trailer for the closed beta
Why is this so noteworthy? Despite modern servers and fast computers, online role-playing games still regularly struggle in 2024 when too many players gather on the screen or in an area.
Especially in genre representatives with fancy graphics and impressive spell effects, the frames per second tend to drop significantly when too much is happening. This leads to lags, connection breakdowns, and annoying rubber band effects. A fun gaming experience looks different. Throne and Liberty might positively differentiate itself from the competition.
Great Technology, but Still No Fun?
What is the biggest issue with T&L? As smoothly as the beta of Throne and Liberty seems to be running, the criticism from players who have already played the final released Korean version of the MMORPG is harsh. The report by Coolboyman on Reddit revolves around a joy-killer that unfortunately affects many other Free2Play titles.
The frustrated player complains about cheaters and hackers who flood the game world due to the free entry. The cheaters are apparently also using tools to adjust their stats, making it possible to take down powerful world bosses or other players with a single blow. Wall hacks are also said to be in use.
According to Coolboyman, these cheats are possible because Throne and Liberty stores many important data on the client side. It seems that the experienced NCSoft team is repeating a mistake that Blizzard made with Diablo and the introduction of Battle.net back in 1997.
One can only hope that NCSoft and Amazon Games (responsible for the Western porting) will tackle this issue before the launch in the West, making it as difficult as possible for cheaters.
In the Plunderstorm mode of World of Warcraft, there are curious statistics. A persistent pirate won more than 300 matches.
In World of Warcraft, the Plunderstorm mode is still active. In this battle royale mode, only one out of 60 players can actually win and leave the battlefield as the victor. Considering that 59 others are trying to do the same and ambushes are the norm, a victory is quite unlikely.
A player, however, appeared to be completely unfazed by such statistics: He won 321 times and is thus the absolute champion of Plunderstorm.
Start video
WoW: Plunderstorm – this is how the battle royale mode works
Where do the numbers come from? They were published by Blizzard itself. In a small statistics video, the developers summarized the current success of the game mode and released some interesting key data.
The most impressive is probably the player who managed to achieve an impressive 321 victories. This means that this person has been the last survivor on the looting battlefield of the Arathi Highlands either alone or in a team 321 times. Thus, this person must have won around 13-14 games every day since the mode was released.
While most people are just happy if they can record a single victory for success, several hundred victories seem almost impossible for the vast majority.
Another record value is the maximum collected loot. One player has proudly collected 1,400,000 loot – and this, even though there are no rewards after the million threshold. Someone must really love the Plunderstorm mode.

What other interesting values are there? Also interesting are some other values related to Plunderstorm, such as the most successful weapons or the most popular landing point.
Most pirates land in the Horde fortress Ar’gorok. Here there are several elite opponents that promise good abilities. However, since this place is very popular, PvP skirmishes also occur early, especially at the beginning, often being time-consuming and unproductive.
The best loadout of the winning players consisted of these abilities:
Are the numbers reliable? Even though the numbers are official, one should take them with caution. Especially regarding the values of the deadliest spells and most useful utility skills, it should also be considered that at the beginning of the mode, some spells were massively overpowering. The Fire Whirl was considered an absolute killer, dealing massive damage and requiring several nerfs.
The Fae Form was also extremely strong, as it not only removed stuns and increased movement speed but also reduced the damage taken by a whopping 90% – basically a perfect “get out of everything” ability. There is no longer any damage reduction left.
By the end of the game mode, all values are expected to rise a little more. Anyone who has not yet claimed the rewards should hurry now – although it is still possible to earn all 40 glory levels.
EverQuest 2 aimed to defeat World of Warcraft. The idea was simple yet genius. The emote /pizza caused global attention – and stress with Pizza Hut.
Since the worldwide success of World of Warcraft in 2004, many MMORPGs have tried to capture the attention of potential players. Especially the spiritual predecessor of WoW, EverQuest, wanted a big piece of the MMO pie with its successor EverQuest II – or rather, in this case, the MMO-pizza.
As WoW exploded with success and EverQuest II struggled, the developers came up with various promotions to draw more attention to their game. One of them was the simple method of a chat command, namely /pizza.
This not only led to a tremendous amount of media attention but also to conflict with their partner Pizza Hut.
The biggest MMORPGs of last year are here for you:

What was going on with EverQuest II?PCGamer conducted an interview with the people responsible for EverQuest II at the time and uncovered a curious story.
Chris Kramer, the former PR chief of Sony Online Entertainment, viewed the conflict between Warcraft and EverQuest this way:
The constant pressure was that Warcraft was kicking our butt. The games were released just a few days apart, and Warcraft exploded. Obviously. WoW was just a really, really clever version of EverQuest. The original WoW team consisted of hardcore EverQuest players.
Furthermore, Warcraft was already established in gaming.
They created a significantly better version and already had this incredible world that they developed over three Warcraft games. So, they absolutely kicked our butt.
As EverQuest II remained in the shadow of Warcraft, they not only wanted to poach players from World of Warcraft but also needed to convince the community from the original EverQuest to switch games. To achieve this, they sought various collaborations and PR measures to raise more attention to the game.
During a lunch break, they joked about the different slash commands of EverQuest, such as /sit, /run, or /attack. These were used for macros in the game. More in jest, they talked about the idea of adding their own commands like /beer, /doinglaundry, or /pizza.
And precisely this last idea would ultimately be the stroke of genius.
The original idea was a somewhat self-deprecating joke. They saw gamers – and themselves – as the lazy guys sitting in front of the PC who surely wouldn’t get up to make themselves something to eat. Intended as a joke, which was later referenced multiple times in the South Park Warcraft episode, it evolved into a PR idea.
EverQuest was the spiritual predecessor of WoW – many WoW developers played it.
This collaboration went as follows: EverQuest II entered into a cooperation with Pizza Hut quite shortly. The idea was simple: When entering the command “/pizza” in EverQuest II, a browser window opened, and one could place a pizza order. Essentially, the /pizza command was nothing more than a link executed in the game. There wasn’t even a character emote associated with it.
This PR coup is likely to go down in history as one of the most brilliant for EverQuest II. Within a few hours, the news was picked up by various American media. Ultimately, even major outlets like Fox News, CNN, or the Wall Street Journal reported on the in-game command.
However, there was one party that was very upset about the /pizza command just a few days later. No, it wasn’t the players and not even the competitor Warcraft.
Pizza Hut was upset.
Why was Pizza Hut mad? The whole attention led to the fact that when Googling the term “Pizza Hut,” they no longer got the official Pizza Hut page as the top result, but instead, news around EverQuest II. The game and the coverage around it completely overshadowed the pizza chain in the SEO search results.
Pizza Hut wanted to end the collaboration as quickly as possible and even had to buy placements in search to regain the top spot (via pcgamer).
Did all of this lead to great success? Even though the whole action was one of the most successful advertising measures for EverQuest II, it ultimately did not lead to pushing the MMORPG titan World of Warcraft off its throne. But at least: even nearly 20 years later, both games still exist – peacefully side by side.
Kramer, who now works for Tencent, explained that back then it was about player numbers that today have little significance:
Right now, probably more people are playing League of Legends than EverQuest ever had in subscribers. But at that time, it seemed enormous, yes incredible. It fueled a very profitable business for a long time.
Funny what a small command in an MMORPG can cause.

In the anime of Dragon Ball Z, there are only two characters who use the Super Saiyan 3. Son Goku and Gotenks receive a power boost and a long, blonde mane during the transformation. However, Vegeta, the proud prince of the Saiyans, never achieves SSJ3 in the anime. The mangaka Akira Toriyama explained in an interview why this is the case.
Why has Vegeta never achieved SSJ3?Son Goku has already explained that the Super Saiyan 3 costs too much energy and should only be used in worlds where time stands still. In the worst case, the fighter could become exhausted and have a disadvantage in longer battles.
That’s why hardly any Saiyan uses SSJ3 in battle on Earth. It would exhaust the fighters before they could defeat their opponent.
But there is another reason, which goes beyond the manga and is more of an economic nature. The production team of the anime, Toei Animation, had asked Toriyama not to use the Super Saiyan 3 a third time (via Jeux Video).
Drawing the voluminous hairstyle would take too much time and money. Toriyama’s time was also limited due to the tough deadlines of his manga, which is why he even omitted detailing the blonde Super Saiyan hairstyle. The lack of time and money meant that Vegeta was never able to reach SSJ3 in the anime.
The Dragon Ball anime continues with Dragon Ball Daima:
Start video
In Dragon Ball DAIMA, Son Goku and his friends shrink
Vegeta skipped Super Saiyan 3
Could Vegeta theoretically use SSJ3? In the anime itself, Vegeta only used SSJ2, which is the precursor to SSJ3. Whether he would have been able to utilize that form was never clarified in the manga.
Perhaps Vegeta already knew that the Super Saiyan 3 costs too much energy and therefore decided never to use it. Alternatively, it could be that Vegeta simply wasn’t strong enough to use it at that time.
In Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta would definitely be able to use SSJ3. There, he can transform into far more energy-efficient forms like Super Saiyan Blue. This form costs less Ki than SSJ3, which is why Vegeta tends to favor Super Saiyan Blue over Super Saiyan 3 in Dragon Ball Super.
SSJ3 can only be achieved by those who have previously reached SSJ and SSJ2. They must also undergo years of training.
SSJ3 was rarely seen, even rarer was the Saiyan power to appear. Besides Son Goku, there were only Gotenks, the fusion of Son Goten and Trunks, who have used this form. Son Goku himself explains in manga chapter 476 the reason for its rare use.
Currently, the Festival of First-Person Shooters is taking place on Steam. Players can grab many offers and test demos. Among other things, you can get the demo of a one-man project that lets you fight at the Finnish-Russian border.
What game is this about? Road to Vostok is a first-person shooter that is still in development, but has a demo on Steam already.
Inspired by games like Escape from Tarkov and the actual border between Finland and Russia, where the solo developer lived for 20 years, he aims to create a sandbox shooter that motivates players to experience their own stories.
A video gives you a good impression of the post-apocalyptic setting and a brief introduction to the demo from the developer himself:
Start video
Road to Vostok shows its demo with new engine
Demo of Road to Vostok available on Steam
The demo was released two weeks ago on Steam and therefore does not seem to be specifically tied to the action on Steam. However, it is also not known how long the demo will be available for download afterward.
When will it be released? An exact release date for the game is not known. Since a change of engine recently took place, the release might take a little longer. On the official website (via roadtovostok.com), the developer has already indicated that the full version should cost between 20 and 25 euros.
What can you expect? Road to Vostok is a single-player first-person shooter that promises not only an intense survival sandbox experience but also aims to score with some features:
Realistic weapon mechanics with tactical weapons
Advanced survival systems
Hostile NPCs and “permadeath” elements
Various medical conditions
In addition to realistic weapons, the maps are also supposed to be based on real locations. The game world consists of several individual maps that are connected and each have their own level of difficulty. The idea behind it: The closer you get to Vostok, the harder the maps become, but the better the loot.
Ultimately, you will cross the border to reach Vostok. You reach this city through various points that allow you to cross the border. In Vostok itself, caution is advised, as it is a dangerous and mysterious place and a “permadeath” zone. In this case, your death would mean the loss of everything, including your save data.
The developer also answered the question of whether there will be a co-op mode on the official website. There he writes that he specifically decided on a single-player experience because it offers the game more freedom. However, he does not rule out adding a co-op mode, depending on the success of the single-player version.

At the same time, a Kanto event will apparently be starting. It is said that monsters from the first generation can be found that spawn in corresponding biomes. Which exactly those are is still open.
What’s included? That’s still somewhat unclear. It’s currently known that it concerns the snapshot feature, with which you can photograph your Pokémon. In a teaser on the official blog about this (via pokemongolive.com), three monsters can be seen in one image, which might indicate a reintroduction of multiple buddy monsters in a snapshot.
The announcement states that some trainers in Australia are expected to receive the update in the coming weeks, which indicates that more tests are likely to happen. As soon as new information becomes available, we will keep you updated.
Additionally, there have already been several quality-of-life updates in recent weeks that improved the game, such as the shortened raid timer, when you’re ready, the “heal all button,” and more.

In Pokémon GO today, on April 16, 2024, there will be another Spotlight Hour, where you can look forward to three different monsters. What they are, when the event starts, and what bonus you can expect is summarized here on MeinMMO.
What is a Spotlight Hour? Every Tuesday, a so-called Spotlight Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. During this hour, a previously selected Pokémon is highlighted for 60 minutes and spawns seemingly at every corner of the game. With an additional bonus, this short event is also further enhanced.
Today is no different, but with a special feature. Instead of one Pokémon, you can encounter three different monsters during today’s Spotlight Hour: Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple. All belong to the Bug type and are currently part of the event Bugging Out. We will show you what bonus they are accompanied by today and whether the event is worth it.

Spotlight Hour on April 16 – Start, Bonuses and Shinies
When does the Spotlight Hour start? The Spotlight Hour starts today, on April 16, 2024, as usual at 6:00 PM local time and will be active for 60 minutes. It will end at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are active? During the short event, you will primarily encounter a lot of spawns of Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple. These can be found everywhere in the wild. If that’s not enough, you can use incense to attract more specimens.
Additionally, they will be accompanied by a Stardust bonus. For every Pokémon you catch, you will receive double the amount of Stardust.
Can you catch Shinys? Yes, Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple are already active as Shinies in Pokémon GO. With a little luck, you can encounter a shiny specimen during the Spotlight Hour. However, note that the shiny rate is not increased compared to Community Day.
Is the Spotlight Hour with Caterpie, Weedle & Wurmple worth it?
How strong are the monsters? The three Bug Pokémon and their evolutions are not particularly strong. Weedle, which is not only Bug type but also Poison type, has a Mega Evolution with Mega Beedrill, which can be quite helpful in raids, gym battles, and against Team GO Rocket. But there are also several other Mega Evolutions that are even better.
Who should take advantage of the event? The event is especially worthwhile for shiny hunters who still need a shiny specimen for their collection. And the Stardust bonus is a good opportunity to replenish your stock. It’s best to combine this bonus with the three strong field research tasks that are currently active.
In these, you can encounter Paras, Sableye, and Trubbish with a bit of luck. These belong to the 22 Pokémon that generally provide more Stardust when caught, which can make this really worthwhile in combination with the Spotlight Hour bonus.
What do you think of today’s Spotlight Hour? Will you take part in the short event? Let us know in the comments.
The eagerly anticipated series based on Fallout is now available on Amazon Prime. MeinMMO shows you the trailer and reveals all the important information about the cast, the ratings, and what it’s about.
[toc]
The most important information about the Fallout series on Amazon Prime
The age rating for the Fallout series is FSK 16. It is aimed at adults and teenagers. It is not suitable for children.
How many episodes does the series have?
Season 1 will have 8 episodes, each lasting about an hour. All episodes are expected to be released at the same time. A second season is in discussions and almost certain (via GameStar).
Will the series be released on DVD or BluRay?
So far, there is no information on whether the Fallout series will be available outside of Amazon’s streaming service.
Reviews: How well is the Fallout series received?
Directly after release, the series is being received exceptionally well almost everywhere:
on IMDB all episodes have a rating between 8-9 out of 10 stars
on Rotten Tomatoes the series has a rating of 93%, although there are only 59 reviews here
IGN gives 9 points – almost the highest rating, just shy of masterpiece
even the Guardian praises the Fallout series and calls it brilliant
Our colleagues at GameStar are completely thrilled with the Fallout series and provide a more detailed review. The conclusion states:
Yes, they really exist: video game adaptations where the creators have knowledge of the subject matter and respect the source material and its fans […] Not only is a well-known story revived, but the universe of Fallout is expanded with completely new facets and perspectives. The Amazon series plays not only in the world of my favorite role-playing games, but also enriches it! A film adaptation of Fallout could hardly be better, and now I feel like my colleagues: the (long) wait for Fallout 5 is now only going to become unbearable.
Since the announcement, Amazon has teased the Fallout series to fans with some teasers and images from the set. The latest trailer was released in March 2024. Here you can see it:

Plot: How close is the series to the games and what is it about?
How close is the Fallout series to the games? The Fallout series is set in the year 2296, which is after all the games. Accordingly, the things you experienced in the games have already happened.
This is the timeline of the Fallout games:
Fallout 76 – year 2102
Fallout 1 – year 2161
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel – year 2197-2198
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel – year 2208
Fallout 2 – year 2241
Fallout 3 – year 2277
Fallout: New Vegas – year 2281
Fallout 4 – year 2287
Fallout series – year 2296
However, the series has nothing else to do with the games. According to Todd Howard, the series is not just a retelling of the games, but has its own storyline. Accordingly, you will experience a new story.
What is the Fallout series about? Lucy, a resident of Vault 33, must leave her safe bunker to rescue her father. In doing so, she learns about post-apocalyptic America around Los Angeles and encounters the inhabitants of the new world: factions like the Steel Brotherhood, ghouls, and mutated creatures like RAD cockroaches and more.
In terms of atmosphere, the series is supposed to be very close to the feel of the games, offering some biting commentary on social and political issues and filled with dark humor.
With Season 4, numerous new changes are coming to Diablo 4. In an interview, the Diablo head explains why it felt like an entirely new game for many players during the PTR.
From April 2 to April 9, the PTR (Public Test Realm) took place in Diablo 4. There, players tested the new features coming in Season 4. And most of them were very well received. An expert mentioned, Diablo 4 is now “effectively out of beta.”
For other players, the preview of Season 4 felt so good and different that it was hard to return to Season 3. However, the community will have to wait until May 14, as that is when the new season starts.
In an interview with IGN, published on April 10, 2024, Diablo head Rod Fergusson reports why Season 4 felt so different on the PTR for many players. In some aspects, the season is a complete redesign.
Diablo 4 has also recently received a graphical update. Here you can see a video on ray tracing:

“The function of loot has fundamentally changed”
Why does Diablo 4 feel like a new game with Season 4? In the interview, Diablo head Rod Fergusson notes that he has noticed people referring to Diablo 4 with the changes as Diablo 5. He believes this is due to the extensive changes. He specifically mentions:
I believe what they’re pointing out is the scope. It’s a fundamental change. Diablo is a game that revolves around loot. It’s part of the core loop: kill monsters, get loot, become stronger, kill bigger monsters, get better loot, become more powerful. It’s an intrinsic part of our gameplay mechanics.
So if we fundamentally change one of these elements, I can understand why it feels entirely different. And that’s what we wanted.
Fergusson notes that this is a fundamental change: “Season 4 represents a complete redesign of how loot works, and what we call itemization. The understanding of how loot actually functions in the game has fundamentally changed, starting with Season 4 on May 14.”
Part of the changes also involves making the game more accessible. That is exactly what Season 4 is about, “to make things clearer, and that you immediately know what you are looking for,” says Fergusson. With the new crafting, players can determine how the loot evolves throughout the game.
There will be less “useless loot” and the number of affixes will also be reduced. The aspects are also incorporated into the Codex of Power, so they will no longer clutter your chests.
The main new features coming in Season 4 are summarized here:
Why did it take so long? When pointed out that the overhaul comes almost a year after the release of Diablo 4 and after feedback from the seasons, Fergusson says: “We wanted to ensure that what we delivered from the start was phenomenal. With a Metacritic score of 90, we wanted to tell the best story we’ve ever told in a Diablo game.”
That’s the good thing about the seasons, says Fergusson. The seasons serve as a “testing ground” where they try something out for about three months. And if the mechanics work well, they incorporate them into other content – like the aspect of the Blood Harvest from Season 2, which you will then find similarly in the Hell Floods.
The PTR has been helpful for the process. The developers of Diablo 4 felt that “Season 4 will be fundamentally different and so profound in its changes.” That’s why they preferred to get feedback early and integrated the test server.
In an interview, director James Cameron discussed why his film Titanic had to end tragically and why Jack had to die.
Why did Jack have to die? The question of why the love story in the film Titanic must end with Rose surviving alone while Jack perishes in the water has surely been raised by many fans.
In an interview with Le Parisien, James Cameron provided an answer and made it clear why a happy ending would simply have been inappropriate (via jeuxvideo.com).
Here you can see a trailer for Titanic:

English trailer for the 25th anniversary of Titanic
That’s why Jack had to die
As the director explained, he wanted to incorporate as much realism as possible into the film. Especially the scene where the ship sinks was meant to come as close to reality as possible.
The question of why Jack had to die at the end has often been posed to the director. He then answered in the interview: “Because in my opinion, a happy ending would have disregarded the tragedy of the event.” (Source: jeuxvideo.com).
This especially plays into the respect for the victims of the disaster, which is why the film ended tragically.
However, there is a small happy moment at the end of the film that was consciously left open to interpretation:
“However, at the end when Rose dreams or dies, they [Jack and Rose] are reunited. When we were filming the last sequence, Gloria Stuart, who played the older Rose, asked me, ‘So, Mr. Director, should I play her dead or alive?’ I replied, ‘Hold your breath!'”
Is there an alternative ending to Titanic? There is a final scene that did not make it into the finished film. But even this does not change Jack’s fate. You can watch it yourself on YouTube.
It takes place after the conversation between treasure hunter Brock and Lizzy, Rose’s granddaughter, on the research vessel. After Rose has told her story, she walks to the railing and looks out over the ocean.
In the cut scene, Lizzy notices her grandmother climbing over the railing and runs together with Brock to her.
Rose warns the two not to come closer and expresses her intention to throw the necklace into the water, to “bring it where it belongs.” Brock is allowed to hold the necklace again at her request – before Rose throws the piece of jewelry into the sea.
He and Rose laugh, then there seems to be some spark between him and Lizzy. The scene then transitions into the same ending scene we know, where Jack and Rose come together again.
Now the first major update has been released, introducing the first raid boss, the management system, powerful new items, and an improvement for building.
When is the update coming? The update is already available on all platforms and can be downloaded.
How large is the download? The download is 2.3 GB on Steam.
Here you can see the trailer for the new raid boss Bellanboir, which was also released with update v0.2.0.6:

This is how the raid bosses work in Palworld
What is the new raid boss about? With the new update, Palworld introduces raid bosses. These are particularly strong Pals that you can challenge. The first raid boss of the survival game is Bellanoir, whose element and strength are still unknown.
You can challenge raid bosses by crafting specific slabs and using them at the new summoning altar to summon the respective raid boss.
In addition to the normal difficulty level, you can also challenge raid bosses on “extreme”, which of course makes them even stronger and harder to defeat.
Can raid bosses be captured? No, raid boss Pals cannot be captured. However, after defeating the raid boss, it can drop Pal eggs. Whether Bellanoir will actually hatch from these eggs is currently unknown.
Palworld has lost a significant portion of players in recent weeks who avidly played the survival game in January. The update could slow down the decline in player numbers a bit.
The decline in players, however, does not mean that the developers have lost their humor, and Palworld has also participated in April Fools’ jokes:
The beta for The War Within will begin soon. We will tell you how to participate in the test of the next expansion of World of Warcraft.
Time is running out, and considering that the next expansion of World of Warcraft is expected to launch in 4 to 5 months, some fans are rightly asking where the alpha or beta of “The War Within” is. Now Blizzard has unlocked the option to register for the beta of the new add-on.
Start video
World of Warcraft: The War Within – Cinematic Trailer
How can you sign up? To register for the beta of “The War Within”, you need to follow a few steps:
On the following page, click on “Request Beta Access”.
If everything worked, you will receive a green message with a checkmark informing you that the registration was successful.
The message indicates that the registration was successful.
Can you participate in another way? Yes, that is possible. If you pre-order the most expensive version of “The War Within”, the “Epic Edition”, it includes guaranteed access to the beta, along with some other bonuses, such as a 3-day early access.
However, this does not mean that you will gain access to the beta immediately at its launch. It is quite possible that pre-order customers will be invited to the beta at a later time when the tests aim for a larger player count to test areas with a high number of characters or to gather broader feedback.
How do you find out if you are in? If you receive beta access, you can check this directly in the Battle.net app. In that case, you could select “In Development” under the version selection menu for World of Warcraft and choose the beta for The War Within. At the same time, you will also be informed by an email from Blizzard.
Be cautious if you receive emails promising access that require you to click on any link or provide any data – these are scams. In recent years, scammers have repeatedly attempted to steal account data from careless WoW enthusiasts.
When does the beta start? There is currently no specific date for the beta. However, clues from data mining and the roadmap suggest that at least the alpha will start either this week or next week. Typically, the beta test occurs a few weeks later.
Have you already signed up for the beta? Or did you buy the Epic Edition and trust that it will be enough?
A player named Alisa loves Alan Wake. For this reason, she bought the game a total of 4,000 times. However, there’s a catch, as none of the copies work.
Alan Wake is now considered a horror classic that originated in 2010. The game was first released in May 2010 in Europe for the Xbox 360 and, two years later, on February 16, 2012, for Windows PC.
But one player is so enthusiastic about the game that she bought 4,000 copies of it. This is quite strange, as they are not even special editions.
Gamer buys 2 boxes with 4,000 codes for Alan Wake
How did the player come up with the idea? Alisa, who exclusively spoke with colleagues from PCGamesN, is an AV technician and an absolute “Alan Wake” fan. AV technology and media include cameras, projectors, recorders, sound systems, and displays.
Recently, she found a special offer on eBay: two boxes filled with download codes for Alan Wake. She decided to purchase the boxes. Now she is the owner of 4,000 printed promotional cards, each containing a separate download for the original game “Alan Wake” from 2010. Both boxes weigh about 25 kilograms each, totaling 50 kg.
I suspect these download cards come from a game store that was closed at some point and, for some reason, had way too many Alan Wake download cards on its shelves.
What happened next? After trying about 20 of the cards herself, she found that none of them worked. In her surprise, she contacted Microsoft customer support, hoping to activate her games after all. Unfortunately, customer support could not help her for a reason:
Apparently, the 4,000 download codes from the store were never activated. Moreover, the codes were already over 10 years old and thus had become invalid at some point.
So what is she doing now with the “worthless stuff”? She explained that she found it funny to buy two boxes of Alan Wake. And she is not disappointed, as she has other plans for them:
The long answer is that I am currently making an Alan Wake 2 fan video inspired by the live-action film sequences of Alan Wake 2, and when I saw the eBay listing for 4,000 Alan Wake download cards, I had a vision for a scene in which an absurd number of these cards would be used. Once it’s finished, I will probably cover a wall in my room with the cards because that sounds fun. Besides, I just love Alan Wake.
More about old games: Another woman bought a game a dozen times. But that wasn’t due to her love for the game, but rather a different “problem.” The granddaughter suspects that the grandmother didn’t know how to delete the save file:
In Headquarters: World War II on Steam, we command our units in World War II on a very small scale.
What kind of game is this? In Headquarters: World War II, we command a platoon, meaning not the means of transport, but a military task force with tanks, infantry, and vehicles.
The game takes place, as the title suggests, in World War II and features 3 factions: the Germans, the British, and the Americans. In 3 campaigns with 9 operations each, we experience the different phases of the landing in Normandy.
Unlike other games where it’s about the big picture, in Headquarters: World War II we fight for every little hedge. The game focuses on realism and offers both a morale system for units as well as aspects like weak points in armor and troop cover.
Although the game is from an indie developer, there are co-op and multiplayer battles with up to four players.
Here you can watch the trailer:

Headquarters: World War II shows its launch trailer
Tactics and strategic action are necessary
How does Headquarters: World War II play? The game is turn-based. Similar to XCOM, the area is divided into small squares. Each unit can move a certain distance and can only perform a limited number of actions.
Players must engage the enemy as tactically as possible, because due to the weak points in the armor of enemy tanks, it’s better not to charge straight in with all troops.
Your infantry can, for example, take cover behind tanks to cross fields. Units can hide in buildings, but these can also be destroyed. Shooting at enemies lowers their morale, which is almost as good as eliminating the enemies.
How realistic is the game? While the game aims to be realistic, there are also a few things that are simply unrealistic. On Steam, several points have been raised in the reviews, such as:
There is no ammunition and therefore no ammunition shortage
Units can freely seek cover in buildings and leave them without using extra action points
The AI sometimes behaves very stupidly – for example, infantry stands openly in front of a machine gun
While a good dose of realism is certainly beneficial for a World War II game, a game doesn’t have to simulate all aspects. Things like ammunition shortages wouldn’t really come into play in small skirmishes anyway.
The developers of The Elder Scrolls Online are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the MMORPG and distributing gifts. Since April 15, 2024, you can secure a DLC and a mount for free if you meet certain requirements.
Which DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online is currently free? From April 15 to April 29, 2024, you can secure the Thieves Guild DLC released in March 2016. This content pack grants you access to the area of Hew’s Bane as well as the quests and skill line of the namesake Thieves Guild.
If you have always wanted to explore Tamriel as a pickpocket, this DLC is a must-have. It expands the legal system of the MMORPG with heists and burglaries and provides your hero with exclusive skills that are essential for efficient stealing and sneaking.
The Thieves Guild is a great way to shorten the wait for Gold Road – here is the trailer for the upcoming chapter of Elder Scrolls Online:

What do I need to do to receive the DLC? You must have or complete the achievement “Pickpocket” in TESO. It’s quite simple! Just pickpocket any resident of Tamriel.
With the DLC in hand, you can even secure a second anniversary gift. If you explore the two caves in the Hew’s Bane region and defeat the respective leaders there, you will earn the achievement “Cave Explorer of Hew’s Bane” for females or “Cave Explorer of Hew’s Bane” for males.
Those who master this achievement can look forward to the mount “Treasure Hunter Horse” in celebration of the 10th anniversary.
You can currently secure the Treasure Hunter Horse for free in TESO.
Special content and discounts until April 29
If the Thieves Guild is not enough for you, from April 15 to April 29, you can secure another DLC at a discounted price. The Dark Brotherhood from May 2016 is available at a 20% discount during this period in the Crown Store of the online role-playing game.
What is included in the Dark Brotherhood DLC? Owners of the content pack can join the namesake Brotherhood and pursue the career of an assassin – including a new skill line. The DLC also includes the Gold Coast region and content such as bounty quests, assassinations, and bloody contracts.
During the promotional period, some of the daily and weekly Endeavors will focus on the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild DLCs. If you complete these, you can look forward to particularly lucrative rewards. At least in Tamriel, crime pays off.
