Evening Reading - December 8, 2020

Good evening, Shacknews, it's Tuesday night. This week feels like it's about three weeks long at this point. How is it only Tuesday? Not long now until everyone all around the globe will have their hands on Cyberpunk 2077, at which point the discourse can really kick off. There's still plenty to read before then, so how about we look over some of the things posted on Shacknews today and then some funny things from around the internet?

In case you missed it at Shacknews:

• Cyberpunk 2077 has a moment seemingly designed to trigger epilepsy & no PSAs in-game
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake delayed to March 2021
• Halo Infinite gets new Fall 2021 release window
• Demeo is a VR turn-based RPG dungeon crawler coming from Resolution Games in 2021
• Apple reveals AirPods Max over-ear headphones
• New Hitman 3 gameplay trailer showcases new abilities and locations
• Persona 5 Strikers officially confirmed for Nintendo Switch, PS4, & Steam in 2021
• Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto celebrates mobile game's 5th anniversary

And now... Other Stuff From The Internet!!!

Stefanovic fell out of the limelight for a while there. Glad to see we can still laugh at his contagious laughter.

It's hard enough preparing for an interview as a single entity, imagine doing it on a global scale?
