Good evening, Shacknews, it's Monday evening, the start of another week. Last week felt like it was a month long but I must say, congratulations on finding a new President. It's going to be another busy week in gaming as we anticipate the release of the next generation of consoles (soon to be called the currnet-gen consoles, so prepare yourself for that change). Let us first take a moment to look over some of the stellar content posted on Shacknews today, including a review of Bugsnax! And then, perhaps there are some memes we can look at together.

Green OG Xbox
The only picture I have of the Halo edition Xbox that my dad got me for my birthday so many years ago. Probably the most happy I’ve ever been for a birthday gift, and a system that heavily influenced the trajectory for my love of games. Very excited for tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/brb0IzMFFW

Donovan coming in with the special Halo edition of the OG Xbox.

I really like video games.

How much further can we go?
Paradox
I think we need a supplement to the Tolerance Paradox called the Empathy Paradox: being expected to empathize with people who have no empathy. pic.twitter.com/QApzCrDCCg

Some important things to remember.
Math has done it again
a republican on tv just said “it’s important to remember there are just as many people disappointed as there are celebrating in the street” no there aren’t we literally counted
