Evening Reading - May 6, 2025

It's Nighttime in America, which means time for another Evening Reading.

1

Welcome, Shackers, to May! We’re just on the cusp of summer, and with it comes the opening days of another intense season of video game coverage. We have a lot of fun things in store for the months ahead, but we have a lot of prep to do, too. As we get ready stay tuned for more right here at Shacknews, but for now, let’s bring another day of posting to a close. Here’s your latest Evening Reading.


In case you missed it at Shacknews…


And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!

Clair Obscur’s music is absolutely enchanting

I finally started Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 myself, and what beautiful and haunting music it has. I’m going to fall in love with this game.


Hey, it’s that guy

I don’t want to know more about him. Mr. Dingaling will do.


Doom’s getting new big bads

The Komodo looks positively mean. Excited to fight it in Dark Ages.


Speaking of big and bad

The true-to-game monster roars over lighthearted music slays me. Carve me or return to camp.


And now, in more Man vs. Creature news…

Big Poppa Pump himself has added Steiner Math™ to the 1 Gorilla vs. 100 Men argument.


Back from a trip, back on the grind!

Take care of your Ronaldo, or I will.
