Evening Reading - March 27, 2026

Coming to you live from my hotel near PAX East.

Hello, Shacknews. I am away at PAX East and not feeling my best, so we're going to keep things short and sweet tonight. This is an abbreviated round of news, memes, and entertainment. This is the Friday edition of Evening Reading.

Nothing but the Hotfix

Ahead of next week's The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the Hotfix is doing all the things with Super Mario World.

GDQ's Hotfix shows air every week and you can catch them all at the Games Done Quick Twitch account.

Tonight in video game music

Talking about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie earlier, here's Jonny Atma with a cover from the original game.
