  1. One has to wonder whether Radio New Zealand #RNZ is behaving like the #NZPol Act Party’s PR department due to David Seymour being in a ministerial position where he can increase or cut RNZ’s funding, he’s made threats to cut RNZ’s funding in the past, or whether it is due to #Aotearoa #NewZealand state funded radio station being overtaken by ex #MediaWorks neoliberals. Perhaps it’s a bit of both. 🥲

  6. CW: Aussies buy Mediaworks

    Once upon a time, this would've been big news in NZ. Australian media company Sports Entertainment Group has bought what's left of Mediaworks for a mere $130 million.

    On the bright side, at least Murdoch didn't get it.

    Mediaworks Data Extortion Attack

    Hungarian media company #Mediaworks, which operates dozens of newspapers and online outlets, was hit by a data-theft extortion attack. The company confirmed an intrusion after World Leaks posted 8.5TB of internal files online, reportedly including payroll records, contracts, financial documents, and internal communications.

  18. Mobile Suite Gundam Federation vs Zeon with Derek Van Dyke (Super Deluxe GamesCast, Castle Bravo)

    Prepare your beam sabers and polish your Zaku helmets-this episode of Play Comics is about to launch straight into the Universal Century! We’re diving headfirst into the PS2 classic Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon, where the only thing more intense than the space battles is trying to pronounce “RX-78-2” three times fast.

    Joining the fray is none other than Derek Van Dyke from Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo, who’s here to help us decide once and for all: Is it better to fight for the Federation, or is life just more fun in a mono-eyed mobile suit? Expect hot takes, cooler mobile suits, and at least one attempt to dodge a colony drop with nothing but sheer podcasting bravado.

    So grab your joystick, pick a side, and get ready for a barrage of wit, wisdom, and way too many references to Newtypes. The One Year War has never sounded this entertaining.

    Learn such things as:

    • How real is the science of Gundam?
    • Do you really have to play as one of the characters to have a game that feels right?
    • If I thought of a story arc that already existed, does that make me a genius or just guilty of pre-plagarism?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Derek on BlueSky and of course as part of the Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo.

  19. Mobile Suit Gundam Encounters in Space with George (Shortbox Summary)

    This week on Play Comics, we’re taking you on a high-speed tour through Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space, a PS2 classic that’s equal parts thrilling dogfight simulator and love letter to Universal Century lore. From piloting iconic mobile suits to reenacting pivotal battles from the One Year War, this game has everything a Gundam fan could ask for—except ground-based combat (but hey, who needs dirt when you’ve got asteroids?).

    Joining us for this cosmic adventure is George from Shortbox Summary, who brings his signature wit and deep knowledge of pop culture to the discussion. Together, we’ll explore what makes Encounters in Space stand out among Gundam games, share our favorite moments from its sprawling story modes, and maybe even speculate about Zeon’s questionable interior design choices. Strap in—it’s going to be a bumpy ride through the stars!

    Learn such things as:

    • Did George really say starting with SD Gundam is a viable option for me?
    • If you can’t find a character you like here, are you even trying?
    • Zoomy zoomy, shooty shooty giant robots got big booties.
    • And so much more!

    You can find George on Bluesky @shortboxsummary.bsky.social and of course over at Shortbox Summary.

  23. Welcome back, fellow mecha maniacs, to another electrifying episode of Play Comics! This week, we’re strapping into our mobile suits and diving headfirst into the pixelated battlefield of Gundam Wing: Endless Duel on the Super Famicom. Prepare for a high-octane journey through the cosmos as we dissect this classic fighting game based on the legendary Mobile Suit Gundam franchise.

    But wait, there’s more! We’re thrilled to announce the return of our dynamic duo of guests, the incomparable Billy and the ever-enthusiastic Erinn! These two are back by popular demand, ready to share their insights, banter, and perhaps a few heated debates about their favorite Gundam pilots and mobile suits.

    Billy is a seasoned fighting game player who has mastered the intricacies of Endless Duel’s combat system, while Erinn is a die-hard Gundam fan with an encyclopedic understanding of the series’ lore and mecha designs. Together, they bring a unique perspective to the discussion, blending gameplay analysis with a genuine appreciation for the source material. Their chemistry and friendly banter are sure to keep the conversation engaging and entertaining throughout the episode.

    Learn such things as:

    • Does anything good come along with giant robots?
    • Is this finally the game where having a plot of “Everyone fights” actually works?
    • How does Papa Roach play into any of this?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Billy nowhere online because he’s a hermit who hides out in those secret places of the internet that only we know about.

    You can find Erinn inside the laser that your cat is chasing, manically laughing because she’ll never get caught.
