Hello, everyone at Shacknews. I have returned from this year's Game Developers Conference, a little older, a little wiser, and a lot more tired. Let's jump into the weekend with a fresh round of news, memes, and entertainment. This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.


In case you missed it at Shacknews:

And, because it's the weekend, go find yourself something to play!

Let's hit the older folks in their nostalgia center. Fresh off yesterday's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice teaser, let's remember the kick-ass intro to the Saturday morning cartoon.


Nothing but the Hotfix

Randomizers, we love them! Let's look at the latest episode of Random Number Generation and enjoy this randomizer run for the original Legend of Zelda and Earthbound.

As the NCAA Tournament continues this weekend, look back at what a force Shaq used to be as a kid.


IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

I believe that's breaking and entering. YEAH!


Tonight in video game music

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
