Evening Reading: Synergy
by Shack Staff, Dec 17, 2009 5:00pm PSTIn what may very well be the first Evening Reading of its kind, tonight's chatty stemmed out of a collaboration between two authors. Can you figure out who did what?
While you're mulling it over, check out today's highlights:
- Mass Effect 2 Preview: Hands On with Shepard
- Mega Man 10 Media Is Totally Mega
- Resident Evil 5's Second DLC Episode Brings More Wacky Costumes
- PlayStation Home Free-to-Play MMO 'Sodium One' Launched
- Borderlands Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
Meanwhile, things were also happening outside the realm of video games. For example, Ron Artest showed Tiger some love. Don't miss the comments.
They're getting ready for this year's NHL Winter Classic. Check out this time-lapse video of the rink being built in Boston's Fenway Park.
Domino's fans stock up or rejoice because on December 27 Domino's changes their pizza recipe.
Look, I knew the new Girl's Next Door weren't getting it done nearly as well but the bad news got a lot worse as Playboy faces collapse after the potential buyer that would have saved them has said no thanks.
Kids definitely do the darndest things. In Chattanooga that proved true when a four year-old boy stole Christmas presents from neighbors and was found by police at 1:45am on the streets drinking a beer and wearing a girl's dress.

It turnes out that it's actually a Blacke Butte Porter box he used. Never tried it, but the box makes it sound tasty. Here's the website:

And inside was this note:

Which reads:
"This WE is fairly standard. Books, Movies, Video Games and Board Games are what you'll find. Throw up some knick-knacks and there you go.
I hope at least 50% of the goodies are worthy of the greatness that is the Shack WE. I could go on, but I ahve a beer by me, a meatloaf in the oven and more Dragon Age on my computer.
