There's always next time, Waluigi.
Before Sora and Sephiroth meet again...
Sephiroth KH1 was pretty easy, but Sephiroth KH2 ended up being a Boss Rage. Critical mode, lv 1, mechanically blind run, died to every sword hit practically. Dead after 6 ish hrs. Bash your head against the wall kinda Boss Rage. Nowhere close to the 16 hour solo Fatalis tho. pic.twitter.com/TUFW70QWy1

Ahem...
Who remembers this fight and who remembers staring slack-jawed at the screen when this happened? *raises hand*
Fuhgeddaboudit!

We'll probably see more of her at DC FanDome on Saturday, as well as the full trailer for The Batman. Shacknews will be watching DC FanDome, too, for all of the latest updates on the various DC games coming in the next year, so be sure to visit our site tomorrow!

That last one looks like the most wholesome sequel to Untitled Goose Game ever.
It's Jackbox Night!
The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is out now! Grab the family, grab some friends, and go play a few rounds! I reviewed this earlier this week, so go check that out!
Checking on America's "It" couple

I'll be honest, I haven't followed the day-to-day goings-on with this couple. And lord knows, I'm really not interested in doing so. Hell, this is what I mainly know Machine Gun Kelly for:
Heh heh heh... Kevin Owens is a Canadian treasure.
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!
This has been a weird week, because there hasn't been any AEW Dynamite for me to get excited about. No, the NHL has bumped it to Saturday. HOWEVAH, we do have this free, LIVE YouTube pre-show for tonight's AEW Rampage, featuring Bryan Danielson (the former Daniel Bryan) vs. everyone's favorite Murder Grampa from Japan, Minoru Suzuki!
Not everyday you get to see this, so enjoy it!
Tonight in video game music
After spending a few weeks with some good tracks from some "meh" games, let's go back to the classics. Here's an epic take on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past's Hyrule Castle theme, featuring strong orchestral melodies and some powerful choir work. A wonderful mix that you should add to your regular rotation.
That is your Evening Reading to send you off into an exciting weekend. We're back here tomorrow to cover the big news from Minecraft Live and DC FanDome.
