Hello, everyone at Shacknews. We've reached the end of another long week, so it's time to ring in 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.

Dota 2's newest update was revealed and it's a little different. Valve is moving forward on an ongoing story arc, starting with Crownfall. Look for the story to unfold over the course of the year.

History on hold

Norman Caruso has been at this for a long while, so he's definitely earned himself a rest. Cheers!

HI! I'M BRAK!

Andy Merrill has been a particularly fun follow this week. Can't put my finger on why...

Going 'Coast to Coast' for 30 years

Adult Swim gave us a big treat this week with a fun round-the-clock Space Ghost: Coast to Coast marathon to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.

But also...

Enjoy it while observing that Adult Swim treated this show's talent like trash. They deserved better than what they got.

If anything, this week has brought some special attention onto show writer (and voice of Brak) Andy Merrill. I hope his career finds some new life after this.

After all, he's one of the minds behind this amazing moment in television history:

Nothing but the Hotfix

There are 30th anniversaries all over the place! Celebrate 30 years of Final Fantasy with this special speedrunning marathon edition of the Hotfix.

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 explains to us why 1986 was the single greatest year for gaming ever. Don't look at me, it's science.

This week in Shaqnews

The NBA postseason is underway.

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

Sami Zayn returns as a hometown hero to fend off the challenge of Chad Gable, only Chad's not going down quietly.

Tonight in video game music

Hello again, Lacey Johnson, and thanks again for the new music.

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?
