Evening Reading - November 9, 2020

Published November 9, 2020 8:55 PM, by Sam Chandler

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.
