Evening Reading - March 22, 2024

Published , by Ozzie Mejia

Hello, everyone at Shacknews. I have returned from this year's Game Developers Conference, a little older, a little wiser, and a lot more tired. Let's jump into the weekend with 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.

Colin Ferrell is ready to make you sleep with the fishes if you cross him in this new Gotham.


Greetings, traveler

Otherworldly visitors take all sorts of different forms.


Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

Let's hit the older folks in their nostalgia center. Fresh off yesterday's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice teaser, let's remember the kick-ass intro to the Saturday morning cartoon.


Nothing but the Hotfix

Randomizers, we love them! Let's look at the latest episode of Random Number Generation and enjoy this randomizer run for the original Legend of Zelda and Earthbound.

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 discusses creating effects and making them the right size in proportion with your characters.


This week in Shaqnews

As the NCAA Tournament continues this weekend, look back at what a force Shaq used to be as a kid.


IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

I believe that's breaking and entering. YEAH!


Tonight in video game music

Enjoy this metal medley of the Nintendo DS' greatest tracks.
