Hey, everyone! I'm finally home from a few weeks of traveling and now it's time to settle in with a fresh round of news, memes, and entertainment. It's the Friday edition of Evening Reading.

No word on whether it thanks you for your trash.
Lapras made the trip!
One would think Snorlax would rather crash through walls like the Kool-Aid Man.
Scenes from QuakeCon
In case you missed the first day of QuakeCon goodness.
If you're at the show, support the doggos, watch the stream, and buy a shirt.
If you're more of a cat person, stop by the AFK Kitten Room.
Face-melting guitar is a big part of the QuakeCon spirit.
Of course, QuakeCon being a Bethesda show now, a part of it is naturally dedicated to what's next.
Looks like he's gonna have to jump!
It's always fun to see Strong Bad's fake game trailers. This almost looks like something I'd play if it were an actual game.
Nothing but the Hotfix
The speedrunning community continues to try and figure out The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Along the way, a lot of glitches have been discovered. So check out this showcase to see a few of them.
GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account. Next week, the ladies of Frame Fatales take center stage with Flame Fatales. We'll spotlight the best of their runs right here next Friday!
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, not too long after making news with his look into Brawl, Sakurai now looks back at the making of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U.
This week in Shaqnews
You didn't forget that Shaq is still an esports owner, did you?
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!
Now that Summerslam is in the rear view, here's a look back at the hours leading up to the show from the perspective of Rhea Ripley.
Tonight in video game music
Let's get acoustic with Shea's Violin and this arrangement from Final Fantasy 6.
