With the recent release of the latest expansion for online roleplaying game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, we thought it interesting to see something which looks like a lightsaber in the expansion trailer for another online game, Destiny 2.

Then again in trailers for Netflix's upcoming film The Adam Project. Including an explicit lightsaber reference.

Ending a month of exclusive reveals, IGN have published their final preview for upcoming whacky looter shooter Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

Additionally the developers have released an official gameplay overview which is 24 minutes showing a quest from beginning to boss-stomping end. And also published class skill trees.

Today we stumbled upon a commercial from a few weeks ago for the four Star Trek series which will air or stream this year.

It's potentially slightly interesting to Star Trek fans just for tiny snippets of new footage but also includes a curious anomaly.

In this week’s edition, a blast from the past in more ways than one as Picard season 2 hits screens, Batman is back in cinemas with a new face and a new attitude, Disney’s immersive Star Wars experience takes off and Sydney Gaymers join us for Mardi Gras.

The deadline for first wave / earlybird submissions to this year's Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival is March 28.

Joining feature films and short works are two new categories this year - video game and advertising.

Sony have released what we would describe as a poorly described "lore vignette" for upcoming anti-hero vampire film, Morbius.

You'd expect that to reveal some information about the character of Morbius, but instead it's a very short commentary on the character's debut in a Spider-Man comic following the lifting of a supernatural characters ban.

Valve, owners of gaming digital storefront Steam, have released handheld gaming computer the Steam Deck.

Early reviews are mixed but the broad consensus might best be summed up by The Verge's take which is that this is effectively an Early Access launch.

Miju Games have announced an Early Access release date of March 24 for their unique survival and terraforming game, Planet Crafter. There's a short trailer.

We tried this one's demo during one of last year's Steam Next fests - FYI there's one running now, but only a few days left - and also the beta version. Enoyed it.

It's almost Batman time again and while we can't muster any enthusiasm for yet another reboot, our news show's ravenous hunger for content is unrelenting.

We must press on.
