But nowadays, we call itthe Maw.

These extra-dimensional invasions follow a sinister cadence, synchronised to the contours of the modern working week.

Every Monday morning, it threatens to swallow up the pitiful circle of firelight we call normality.

An etching by David Cambell from 1840 of a Biblical monster with a massive mouth full of teeth and four legs.

But I recognise that the mysteries of the Videogame News Writers trade can seem impenetrable to non-initiates.

So let me have a go at frame all this in everyday terms.

(Actual announcement post follows)

The Mawis a weekly series of liveblogs for PC gaming news.

Or, you’ve got the option to just read our regular news articles as usual.

The thinking behind it is essentially that wonderful Terminally Capitalist mantra of doing more with less.

As such, I’m conscious that we aren’t equipped to cover everything that comes down the pipe.

The Maw addresses that by, essentially, turning all the planning we do into #Content.

It’s harrowing to think of the ravenous and unforgiving Powers that haunt the shadows of the Known.

But do not despair.

Our wards are thick, our boilers and arsenals well-stocked, our watch unsleeping.

But I have tarried too long.

To arms, colleagues!FEED THE MAW.
