Hello, everyone! It's almost the end of the year and we're marching to the holidays here at Shacknews. Let's dive into a fresh round of news, memes, and entertainment. This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.
And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!
We have some new animals that are joining the fun in Planet Zoo.
Disney has already attempted to take on Animal Crossing. In 2023, they'll look to take on Mario Kart.
If you missed the announcement yesterday, Lost Ark is about to cross over with The Witcher.
Finally, Season 3 for NBA 2K23 has begun.
Smash fallout continues
The story between Nintendo, Panda Global, and the Smash community isn't going away anytime soon and only promises to get uglier in the weeks ahead.

Why break the news to your kids yourself when you can have an AI do it for you?
MORTA-- NOPE!
At this point, Ed Boon should just say, "It'll be ready when it's ready."
ONE HIT me, baby, one more time!
I like to visit Todd in the Shadows for his year-end stuff, but before we get there, here's an analysis of a track I couldn't escape back in the 90s.
Do a barrel roll!
I always appreciate it when Star Fox turns up anywhere these days.
Nothing but the Hotfix
MOAR RANDOMIZERS! I've seen plenty of Legend of Zelda randomizers, but this is the first time I'm seeing one for Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. This isn't something you see everyda, so enjoy.
GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account.
Under the learning tree with Masahiro Sakurai
Masahiro Sakurai started a YouTube channel! Let's learn from his decades of experience together by looking at one of his latest videos. This week, we're taking a break from the heavier stuff as Sakurai looks at the way things were done back in the day versus the way things are done now.
This week in Shaqnews
I wanted to use a clip from the Shaq series on HBO Max. Then Shaq had to go around riding bicycles and nearly eating s**t on a unicycle. How can I not use that this week?
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!
Welcome back, Hangman!
Tonight in video game music
We really do need more Star Fox. Let's listen to some Star Fox.

Be sure to keep the spirit of the classic Evening Reading alive by jumping into the comments about whatever you see here or whatever randomness you'd like to discuss.
