Hello, everyone at Shacknews. Another week is in the books, so let's leave you with a fresh round of news, memes, and entertainment. This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.


In case you missed it at Shacknews:

I am writing to you from early Friday, as I have made the trek to the D23 Expo. By the time this goes up, Disney's entertainment agenda will be announced from the Honda Center in Anaheim, where I'll be in the cheap seats. We'll be back for a fuller round of fun next week.

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


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

Today Yesterday in Bubbletron

Be sure to play Bubbletron today!


Forever Duke

Coming soon to Shacknews!


Thank you for riding Star Tours

I'll be on the lookout for this thing at D23.


20 years of Team Venture

Look, man, I'm just happy we got the movie to at least provide a semblance of closure. Granted, there are still a lot of questions and plenty of reasons to keep everyone coming back, but the ending was... good enough for me.


Nothing but the Hotfix

It's all the Metroid you can handle!

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 talks about the importance of visual imagery.


This week in Shaqnews

This is the worst attempt at going incognito since Superman put on a pair of glasses.


IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

He's back!


Tonight in video game music

Revisit Undertale with OC ReMix.

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?
