Welcome to it, Shackers. I’m not going to sugar coat, I’m tired. I just came home from EVO 2024, where Shacknews once again pursued all the good coverage, and I even did better than I’ve ever done in competition. We’ve got a lot to sift through as we bring you that content from EVO, but we’re home now, and that’s what’s important. Stay tuned as we bring some awesome gameplay and interviews throughout the week. For now? Enjoy a wonderful Evening Reading as we close down another day of posting.
