Greetings, all, and a Happy November to you all! There's no trick-or-treating this weekend, but hopefully you all have a lot of leftover candy to feast on. If not, run to Target, I'm sure they have some fun sized Reese's left. Let's jump into this Friday edition of Evening Reading!
And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!
Time to play the game!
Did I mention that the Weekend PC Download Deals feature is up and features a nice pre-order deal on Elden Ring?
Who dies in a pineapple under the sea?
Come back in January, where we'll determine where Elden Ring fits?
He's mad about the birthday party
If this dynamic is odd to the SMT/Persona fanbase, imagine being an outsider. We need a whole primer on this thing.
How I Met Your Nintendo
Truly, this is "A Christmas Story" for aging millennials!
Cat content
You can't kill that which is not alive... or dead... or both.
Please observe the championship parade speed limit
To be fair, if the bus drops below 30 MPH, it explodes.
Fun with game dev
We really need more games with disembodied heads just randomly breaking out into song.
The sounds of the underworld
There was a lot (and I mean A LOT) that was great about Hades. The music was certainly one of its better qualities. That's why we're dropping in on the latest Nintendo Minute, where Kit and Krysta chat with composer (and also voice of Zagreus) Darren Korb about the making of Hades' soundtrack and also take a virtual tour of his music studio. You even get to meet the voices of Cerberus!
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!
If you need it, ask for it.
Get well soon, Mox!
And a late addition, because over on Rampage, "PLATINUM" MAX F'N CASTER has left me deceased!
Oh, and one more late addition, because about an hour before this ER's post, CM Punk and Eddie Kingston reminded me of why I still love and watch this chereographed pseudo sport at 38 years old!
Take my money! Take it!
Tonight in video game music
We're blasting off into Super Mario Galaxy with tonight's track. This is "Gusty Garden Galaxy," a collaboration of The Icarus Kid's production with the piano prowess of 88bit. Enjoy!
There's your Evening Reading to send you into this first Saturday of November. Remember that in certain parts of the United States, it's time to turn the clocks back an hour. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep.
What are you planning to do with that extra hour, readers? Join the conversation and let us know in the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below.
