Sure, we didn't get a 3D Mario just yet for Nintendo Switch 2, but I'd argue this is even better. A Donkey Kong 3D platformer game that looks like it could rival Mario Odyssey. The game steps away from the 2.5D world of Donkey Kong

Apple's self-preferencing hardware treatment strikes again with the new rePebble Smart Watch: I want to set expectations accordingly. We will build a good app for iOS, but be prepared - there is no way for us to support all the functionality that Apple Watch has access to. It’
The PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old, and Channel 7 has the footage to prove it. In a time before smartphone video, it's a cool little time capsule of Australian retail and the hype around the launch of the Sony console.

2Day FM Sydney is ditching its crusty music format for a fresh new one, which is a shock in a market that almost entirely caters mainly to older millennials with "throwbacks" galore. It's gotten so bad that Triple J, a previously 'alternative' station, now

Not only is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 now official, there's also a pretty wild physical Collector's Edition that comes with a real skateboard deck. If we do the math, the physical Collector's Edition is $124 more expensive than the digital

Streaming
There's a a big shake up coming for Foxtel, specifically Foxtel's Binge. Another streaming platform is launching in Australia, with Warner Bros. Discovery today announcing the local launch date for Max. The service will start March 31, but other details are still a little unclear. Previously
TV
While the late-night talk show genre is still alive and well in the US, the format hasn't been very active in Australia in decades. The Late Show, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and others still grace US screens with timeslots as late as 11:35pm, and even

A gorgeous story from Marcin Wichary about the 150-year-old font that can still be seen everywhere. Even Australia, as the author notes. But there was one font I didn’t even notice, even though it was everywhere around me. Last year in New York, I walked over 100 miles and
Wrestling
The only way I can make this post relevant is to mention that ESPN is coming to Disney+. Not sure yet if that will include All Elite Wrestling content.

The YouTube algorithm fed me some good slop today in the form of US network CBS's 1997 fall campaign, weirdly pitched as "The Address Is CBS". How can an address be a TV channel? Who knows. But watching it back, it is weird to see this
Flashes, a new app powered by Bluesky, is surprisingly polished for a Testflight release. The app takes your Bluesky feed and gives it the appearance of classic Instagram - a reverse-chronological feed of images from people you follow. There are profile pages, search, notifications and even trending topics. If you
DeepSeek is apparently not being very ethical when it comes to AI! Not only has the company created its own model by allegedly using closed-source OpenAI outputs to create an open-source alternative, but it is also copying IP from the company. The horror! Both OpenAI and President Donald Trump'

"A small team and I are working on a new Pebble-like smartwatch that runs open source PebbleOS, has the same beloved features (plus some fun new stuff), and stays true to the core Pebble vision"

Deepseek R1 is AI's Sputnik moment. — Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 (@pmarca) January 26, 2025 Now the real fight in the broligarchy, of course, is around a bad chat bot that can write really long emails and lie confidently. The true technology of our time. Hmm I haven't tried
