Australia v RimWorld
Posted By:

A few days ago Kotaku reported that the Australian Classification Board had done that thing again which they're absolutely bloody notorious for. Inexplicably banning some game.

This time an indie PC sci-fi construction and simulation game called Rimworld which they had previously approved and which had been available and played here for four years in full release. Another five before that in early access.

In our recently posted summary of the entertainment industry's reaction to Russia's invasion of Ukraine we mention but don't fully detail CD Projekt Red's response.

Free Guy 2 Script
Posted By:

In an interview with The Holywood Reporter, President of 20th Century Studios Steve Asbell has claimed that the script for Free Guy 2 is "days away".

Just a few weeks ago Free Guy director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds indicated that they're receptive to making a sequel but won't be rushed into making an unworthy followup.

Q Old and Out of Tights
Posted By:

Earlier in the week we remarked on a recent Star Trek commercial which included stars from current or upcoming series who have or had played captains.

Patrick Stewart, Anson Mount and Sonequa Martin-Green appear out of uniform and Patrick talks about Star Trek, i.e. he's speaking as Patrick rather than Picard.

After yesterday sitting through a nine minute commercial masquerading as a short film we were amused to find ourselves staring at another piece of misleading content today.

Netflix have released a trailer and poster for Cliff Beasts 6: The Battle for Everest.
