Evening Reading - August 20, 2024

It's nighttime in America, which means it's time for another edition of Evening Reading.

Welcome to the back end of August, Shackers. We hope you’ve had a good month so far and had a very enjoyable Gamescom Opening Night Live today if you tuned in! There’s been a lot of cool coverage going out on the site if you enjoy QuakeCon or Pokemon, and there’s plenty more on the way! We’re wrapping it up for today, though. So, allow us to close down this fine day of posting with another fun edition of Evening Reading.

In case you missed it at Shacknews…

And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

I’m obsessed with Preecha’s music in City of the Wolves

Preecha is really solidifying herself as the character I want to main in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Her music is fantastic. Has its own bouncy and infectiously happy vibes, but there’s an undertone of Joe Higashi’s previous themes to it too. Absolutely addictive song.

Lil Jon in the DNC

That chyron sent me, but really what more needs to be said?

Scrimp fact

Bugs or not, they sure are good with butter on the grill.

Bringing the best back in the Alien franchise

I hear Alien: Romulus is better than Alien 3 and Resurrection (not a hard bar to clear) but not as good as the rest. Wild. Anywho, Aliens and the original always did it best.

Peter Molyneaux? In this economy??

Maybe the biggest surprise of Gamescom ONL.

We now go live to Phil Spencer’s foot in his mouth

At least he didn’t lay off and close MachineGames after they announced Indiana Jones is going to the PS5.

Lookit his tiny booted beans

Capcom Palico design continues to be one of the cutest features in all of game design.

Speaking of delectable game design

Food in Monster Hunter is also top-tier graphics and it looks like that’s still going to be the case in Wilds. Huzzah!!!

There you have it. That covers your Evening Reading for this fine August 20. Don’t forget that if you want to support Shacknews, you can do so via Mercury, were you can help the site out for as little as a dollar a month. Don’t have a dollar to spare? Don’t need one to play Bubbletron! It’s a Shacknews online game where you can engage in trying to create your next trillion-dollar start-up using a daily rotating array of prompts! Will you find the greatest valuation and earn the Money Hat? If you do, post it on the Leaderboards!

Bubbletron values a start-up for THC-infused Hand Sanitizer For Those Hard to Reach Places at $16,119,936,000,000
I thought a little bit of THC with an infusion of cleanliness might just be a genius idea. Bubbletron agrees, although it wasn't today's Money Hat!
