Company Of Heroes 3 review: a glorious comeback for this WW2 RTS
After the mud and forests of Normandy, and the grim, snowy climes of the Eastern Front, Company Of Heroes 3 feels like World War II on its summer holiday. With two campaigns spanning each side of the sunny Mediterranean, this is arguably Relic’s breeziest and most colourful theatre of war yet, evoking the same kind of swagger and gung ho optimism as a Hollywood action flick. It’s a feeling that might seem out of place given the current climate, especially now, just days away from the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But while your main objective is always one of domination, gradually turning the map from red to blue on both a micro and macro scale, this is ultimately a game about searing comebacks – of beating back seemingly impossible aggressors, and finding hope where previously there was only despair. I think we could all do with a bit of that in this day and age, even if the battles before you end up feeling like nothing more than the digital equivalent of plonking down a big box of toy soldiers on your living room floor and going daka-daka-daka as they all fall over.

Walter White’s Glorious Underwear From Breaking Bad Is Up For Auction, Expected To Go For $1,000+
Walter White’s iconic underwear from Breaking Bad is now up for auction, but there are some important things to consider if you’re thinking about plopping down major cash.
First and foremost, this is not the exact underwear worn by actor Bryan Cranston. This is a “decoration” pair of the tighty-whities. That’s probably for the best, because, uhh, yeah.
The underwear is made of cotton and polyester, and has a waist measurement of 40 inches. The underwear includes the trademark white elastic waistband with blue and goldenrod accents. The listing on the Propstore Auction website (via NME) states that the elasticity from the waistband is “largely lost” due to the passing of time.

Hulu’s completely unhinged ‘Koala Man’ trailer promises glorious chaos
There’s Marvel and DC superheroes. And then, there’s Koala Man.
Hulu dropped the trailer for its upcoming animated series on Tuesday, and folks: It’s truly, madly, deeply unhinged.
Created by Australian animator and voice of the titular hero Michael Cusack, Koala Man follows the exploits of Kevin, a man determined to wipe out petty crime in his hometown of Dapto. That means rescuing cats from trees, cracking down on people not picking up their dog’s poop, and measuring people’s overgrown lawns. And like it or not, his family’s along for the ride, with Succession‘s Sarah Snook as his wife Vicky and comedian Demi Lardner as their daughter Alison. (Cusack also voices Alison’s twin brother Liam.)
Detective Pikachu writers Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez are at the helm as showrunners, and Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland is executive producing the project, which came about following Cusack’s completely batshit 2018 Rick and Morty parody Bushworld Adventures.
Cusack’s joined by a stellar cast with guest appearances from national treasures of Australia and New Zealand, including Hugh Jackman as Kevin’s boss Big Greg, alongside Jemaine Clement, Rachel House, Hugo Weaving, and Jarrad Wright.
