Hello again, Shacknews. After a draining week, it's time to end with a little levity. Let's dive into a fresh round of news, memes, and entertainment. This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.

In case you missed it at Shacknews:

And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!

Around the Gaming Horn

Here's some rapid-fire news to wrap up your week.

Let's do this one more time. Here's the story of Final Fantasy 7 Remake leading up to next month's Rebirth.

For those who missed the premiere on Inside the NBA last night, here's the live action ad for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It doesn't do a lot to tell you what kind of game it is, which is kind of par for the course when it comes to the marketing for this title.

Warframe outlines its first big update of the year, coming in March.

And the Lunar New Year update is coming to Forza Horizon 5.

And now... Other Stuff From The Internet!!!

Today in Bubbletron

Be sure to play Bubbletron today!

Choosing a Starter

Stephen A.'s picked himself a winner, even if he can't necessarily pronounce its name.

Mega Busting

Mega Ran rolling up to the next tournament in style.

Don't gotta ask twice

Everyone getting their chores done on this Friday?

Nothing but the Hotfix

Awesome Games Done Quick 2024 is in the books. With that event behind us, it's time for the Hotfix to resume its regular schedule.

Shortly before the start of AGDQ 2024, GDQ got around to spotlighting this awesome Kingdom Hearts 2 Randomizer run.

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, Sakurai touches on the topic of sound effects and the feedback process.

This week in Shaqnews (and Chucknews)

This explains so much about Shaq's playing career.

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

Well, holy crap.

And don't come back!

Tonight in video game music

Oh, this mix from B-laze is awesome. Check out this contribution to OC ReMix and return to the days of Super Mario World.

That's it for the fourth 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?
