Welcome, Shackers, to the end of the first week of October. It’s Friday, baby! You made it! I’m filling in today because Ozzie so graciously picked up my Tuesday, a day after I got home from Tokyo Game Show! You may have seen the coverage going up this week, but I promise plenty more is on the way. In the meantime, we have a day of posting to close down before we send you off to the weekend. Enjoy this latest edition of Evening Reading!

See that mountain there? You can go there 🤣⛰️
It's a hunting game with huge creatures, so it needs a lot of space. I tried something smaller and it felt awful🏹
