Hey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.

Your daily dose of sudoku

This looks like a tricky one.

Demon's Souls was a terrific game

I miss the World Tendency system.

You ever noticed ammo counters?

I mean, you definitely have. But have you really, really noticed them?

Nintendo must lean into the weird and eeriness of Ocarina of Time

The vibe of the game is so creepy.

N64 carts are great

Very cool piece of tech.

Creating 90s VFX

Surely these are possible in modern 3D programs?

More Dark Souls lore

I'd like to see more concept art, please.
