SEXY MACHINES!

Since PC games don’t get much love in this corner of the internet, let me bestow upon you these screens and video of Machinarium. Please continue reading this post after you’ve picked your jaw off the Berber office-carpet.

Done? Good. Let’s continue.


I don’t know how many of you are familiar with this game, but I’ve been watching it’s progress for a little under a year now. The plot is summed up with a single sentence on the game’s site:

A little robot who’s been thrown out to the scrap yard behind the city must return and confront the Black Cap Brotherhood and save his robot-girl friend.

Well, that’s enough for me. I’m in.

With every new screen or video that gets released, I get a little more — let’s say — hmmm, how to put this on a family friendly site? FUCKING HORNY! I mean, are you seeing that screen shot up there? Look at it again. How about this one?

machinarium-02

Seriously. This post could have consisted of three words: LOOK AT IT!

Also, it’s a point and click adventure game, the likes of throwbacks Quest for Glory, King’s Quest, Loom and even Darkseed. All games of my youth, all games I put countless hours into and got equal to that back in enjoyment and virginity. It’s like the developers ripped open a window to my heart and peered inside, whispered to each other, then proclaimed loudly: YEAH, WE CAN DO THIS!

Check out the game play video below.

Machinarium releases in the Fall of 09 for the PC platform. Please do not call me or expect me to come out and play. I’m going to be busy saving my robot-girl friend. Ah, it’s like I just ripped a page from my middle-school journal.

Hit the developers site for more screens and links. As well as a link to the design team’s previous works. Specifically Samorost 2 if you fancy some point and click adventure flash.

    Visually, probably the most unique game in a very long time… too bad it’s PC, ’cause I don’t own PCs and never will.

    Choosing Evil Corporation Number 1 over Evil Corporation Number 2 still means the terrorists win. Unless you’re using Linux. :) I’d own a PC just to play this game, also, it’s a good thing I do.

    “how does someone not own a personal computer in 2009?”

    Got me on that one. Even the farmers out in the deep south have PCs and sum’ “dig’tal camers”

    This game looks awesome, so beautiful. Reminds me of some old school adventure gaming when everything was hand drawn.

    Oh I stand corrected… did you see the article on PAPER MOON… that came also looks visually cool. Looks like the ending to Lemony Snicket.

    I did, i was going to write a post about all the Blurst games actually. I had a very hot, very brief relationship with Off-Road Velociraptor Safari. And I LOVE Blush. But let me stop talking before I run out of shit for a post.
