Community: Season 6 Includes a Police Academy Reunion

Community's sixth season may be premiering on a whole new platform (Yahoo Screen on March 17th) with all new cast members (Paget Brewster and Keith David), but from the looks of the tweet below the show hasn't lost its love for retro movie references.

Police Academy star Steve Guttenberg tweeted a picture from the Community set yesterday, revealing that a cool three-person Police Academy reunion was underway on the show. Here you'll see Guttenberg posing with Community star Joel McHale, along with fellow Academy alums Bobcat Goldthwait (who played Zed) and former SNL cast member Tim Kazurinsky (who played Sweetchuck).

Gotham: Joker Set-Up Beginning Next Week?

With seven episodes left to go now in Gotham's first season, it seems like (the seeds of) The Joker are being sown in next week's episode "The Blind Fortune Teller." Check out the quick promo for the episode here...

Could this be a bit of misdirection? Well, Gotham creator Bruno Heller said that origins of Joker would be lightly touched upon before the season was up. It's also interesting to note that FOX's original order for the season was for 16 episodes, and next week's chapter is number 16. We don't know though if "The Blind Fortune Teller" was ever intended to be the season finale or if everything got reworked after FOX bumped up the order to 22 episodes back in October.

Valve Tells Devs to Stop Promising Keys for Greenlight Votes

Valve has asked developers to not give out Steam keys in exchange for Greenlight votes.

The message was sent to developers via an announcement page, which is locked, but a screencap of the message can be read on the Steam Database Twitter account.

“When you give away copies of your game in exchange for votes, you put us in a really uncomfortable position,” writes Valve. “We do not think these votes accurately reflect customer interest and it makes our job harder in deciding which games customers would actually buy and play on Steam.”

Valve goes on to mention that giving away copies of a game in exchange for votes could set a bad precedent whereby other developers see what’s happening, and then think that’s what they need to do to ensure votes. It’s a system which Valve doesn’t think is “healthy” or “what customers want.”
