This week in PC video games: a skating demon tries to eat the moon and Terminator recreation appropriately rewrites historical past


The Maw has as soon as once more eaten Edwin. After spending just a few days within the information beast’s digestive tract again in October, Edwin did implement recent security protocols. No petting The Maw. Solely feed The Maw utilizing a regular concern six foot information pole. All tooth cleansing have to be carried out by a certified animal dentist with a certificates in eldritch care. Sadly, the CCTV digital camera exhibits Edwin was fooled by The Maw’s gurgles, which sounded suspiciously like ‘Can I let you know a secret?’. Edwin proffered his ear, and the price of his curiosity was to be swallowed complete. We imagine he’ll climb out of the creature’s gullet in time to cowl The Recreation Awards on Thursday.

Don’t be concerned, the correct traditions have been noticed. Mark performed The Final Submit on his kazoo, James worn out the ’56’ on the ‘Days since final accident’ whiteboard within the espresso room, and wrote in a ‘0’. There was a respectful silence, solely interrupted by the microwave ping when my porridge was achieved.
