Nothing but the Hotfix

We love randomizers here at Shacknews. We certainly didn't expect to see one for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account. But next week is a special one, as Awesome Games Done Quick officially kicks off this Sunday!

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, Sakurai talks about the difference between a 2D character model facing one direction and then flipping it around.

This week in Shaqnews (and Chucknews)

Chuck has some thoughts on Shaq's dashing (?) good looks.

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

Samoa Joe is ready to take on all comers.

Tonight in video game music

Spirit Tracks isn't often mentioned when remembering The Legend of Zelda's history. Here's GameChops with a synthwave cover of its main track.

That's it for the second Friday Evening Readings for January! 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. Join the conversation and dive into the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below. If you want to go new school and find different ways to leave your feedback or talk about whatever, join us in the Official Shacknews Community Discord. I'll see you all next week!

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
