## Weekly Game Rundown: Escaped from the Maw and Into New Adventures<\/p>\n

Last week, I found myself once again at the mercy of our resident novelty-guzzling elder god, the Maw. As Julian reported, this time the experience was a peculiar one, as I managed to escape through one of its mouths, rather than the more common routes of\u2026 well, other orifices. Drenched in rancid Call of Duty DLC, I boldly proclaimed, \u201cARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?” before leaping into the arms of my colleagues, ready to share the latest PC games.<\/p>\n

– **[Briar Flame](https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/4217930\/Briar_Flame\/)**: A 2D dark fantasy action-platformer that embraces the thwackiness of combat and exploration.<\/p>\n

### Closing Thoughts<\/p>\n

As the week concludes, we find ourselves experimenting with new titles such as **[Rubato](https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2244030\/RUBATO\/)**, a 2D platformer combining various experimental elements. Meanwhile, the team is wrapped up in various projects\u2014from playing **Crimson Desert** to tackling older classics. There\u2019s plenty to look forward to, and for the curious among us, I ponder the culinary lifespan of fried rice and the potential consequences of inappropriate disposal tactics. <\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more engaging adventures and insights in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Last week our resident novelty-guzzling elder god the Maw ate me, as Julian sorrowfully reported<\/a>. Well, I’m back in the waking world, and not as smelly as I could be, all things considered. I’ve been eaten by the Maw a few times now, but this is the first time I’ve managed to escape via one of its mouths, rather than by way of\u2026 other orifices.<\/p>\n

“ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED,” I bellow, straightening heroically with my shoulders braced against the cyclopean gums, as chunks of rancid Call Of Duty DLC sluice between my ankles. “MY OTHER CAR’S A MOTHRA”, I roar, as the other RPS hastily staff gather with a jump net. “HERE ARE SOME NEW PC GAMES,” I add, throwing myself into the waiting arms of my brethren.<\/p>\n
