Hello, Shacknews. We're back for another year of news, memes, and entertainment! This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.
And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!
Here's some rapid-fire news to wrap up your week.
Those looking for something along the lines of Fallout or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. may want to keep an eye on Atomfall from Sniper Elite publisher Rebellion.
Somebody heard that poker is the new hotness. Candy Crush Solitaire isn't exactly that, leaning much more into solitaire than anything poker, but it is funny to see this announced in the wake of Balatro's unprecedented success.
Another world has been revealed for the upcoming Revenge of the Savage Planet.
And, boy, I sure hope you didn't make plans for Valentine's Day.
Today in Bubbletron
Be sure to play Bubbletron today!
ORB!

More on Awesome Games Done Quick in a moment.
Still not gambling
But yes, how about that PEGI rating for EA FC, eh?
Nothing but the Hotfix
No Hotfix, because it's time for Awesome Games Done Quick! We've embedded just a sample of the best runs above! Go check them out and keep watching through Saturday. We'll be back on Saturday night with the final total raised for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account.
This week in Shaqnews (and Chucknews)
Zion Williamson's return hasn't gone unnoticed, especially by someone who can relate to his... culinary tastes.
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!
Man, hard to decide on who to give this spot to, so let's split it three ways and go with The Rock, John Cena, and the returning Kenny Omega.
Tonight in video game music
Time to get this party started. Let's go to MAGFest and hear from Geekswag.
