Hello, Shacknews. The year's almost over and we're marching forward to 2025. It's time for another 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!

Here's some rapid-fire news to wrap up your week.

The Call of Duty League's latest season is underway.

You might have noticed that Escape Simulator is on sale on Steam this weekend. That appears to be because there's a new sequel on the way, just announced earlier today.

And Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake: 2 million served.

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

The Sears catalog always led to treasure, even if it wasn't always accurate in that treasure's description.

Nothing but the Hotfix

IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

There's only one segment worth discussing this week. We have to talk about the end of the New Day as we know them. It's the saddest thing you'll see this week.

Tonight in video game music

Marvel Rivals is out now, so let's start our journey with the official music video from Chrissy Costanza.

That's it for the first Friday Evening Reading for December!

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?
