by · Shacknews

Good evening, Shacknews, it's nighttime, which means it's time for Evening Reading. Let's officially close out our day of posting. Please take a look.

In case you missed it at Shacknews:

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

Your daily dose of sudoku

The cleverest puzzle this year? That's a mighty claim.

Game Maker's Toolkit had a Game Jam

I wonder how many of these will become full games we review in a year or two?

Do you like trains?

Australia needs a big train network.

The Library was harrowing on LASO in Combat Evolved

I wonder how much easier it will be in Campaign Evolved?

MRE time!

Nice.

Naughty Dog's attention to detail

Reckon they'll do another Last of Us game?

Genetics are pretty important

Specifically for performing at the top of your class. For regular exercise, doesn't matter.

Xbox 360 was the GOAT

Golden Era of games, and that's not just because of the "filter."

There are a lot of AI games on Steam

I'm glad Valve has taken such a strong stance.
