You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.
Even though I am excited for new GOG features and releases, looking back on this thread makes me think that good balancing between newer and older title releases is quite important to the community.

dirtyharry50: I disagree. He was not trolling or overreacting. The guy was making his feelings and opinions known on an open forum where he has as much right as you do to have those feelings and opinions.
Ok, so I'm expressing my opinion that some people (including Merchito) in this thread were overreacting, because it's only 3 days after 'rebranding' and they were wondering if it's the end of 'old games' on GOG.com

IMO there is not even a tiny chance for it, but even if there was, it'd be too soon to tell.

And so, in my opinion, expressing such feelings while it's only 3 days since rebranding, that's what I call 'overreacting'.

keeveek: Two releases a week is not enought with current catalogue imho. 2 games a week when you're going to release old games, AAA titles, preorders and indie games? Damn to little...
That doesn't include any other releases we may be making next week as well.

keeveek: You may pull out the preorder on GOG and give your money back, all of that is in the TOS.
Ok. but this is something new in their TOS, as they changed it on 28th of March.

Before that, it was only "All sales are final".

And my opinion is that you are completely wrong. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. :-)

gameon: I've seen forums like giantbomb.com for example is modded more than here. You're better than the random youtube rubbish, but its nowhere near as professional as the likes of gamespot.
professional means : you may say what you want unless you say what's correct with company policy? lol, then i don't want professional...

TheEnigmaticT: Some of you guys are speculating about what this means for our release schedule and GOG.com in the future as a whole. Let me assure you: we are releasing two classic games--both from before 2006--next week.
Some of users already posted this but: so far we had:
Wednesday: gem promos
Friday: weekend promos
Tuesday and Thursday: releases of good old games

As Monday was normally "free from announcements" can we stick to something like this shedule?
Monday: release of new / indie game
Tuesday: release of good old game
Wednesday: gem promo
Thursday: release of good old game
Friday: weekend promo

Please do not replace times of release GOGs with new games :(

Thats just dangling the carrot in front of people that have just been paid at work, evil genius eat your heart out, donate your wages to GOG for the next month!!

That's a lovely schedule, and in a perfect world we might adopt something that's kind of like that.

In the messy truth of the real world, I can't commit to any kind of schedule at the moment, but do trust that we will continue to do our best to get you guys all of the classic PC greats we can each week.

gameon: I've seen people getting jailed for twitter/facebook comments (due to racism etc) so obviously i want these forums to moderate accordingly. No horrible comments etc.
What offends people is a very difficult scale to base moderation on. Me? I'm nearly impossible to offend; I know some people who get upset at words like "Darn." At the moment, it's best to moderate simply by the idea that "the moderator who moderates best, moderates least."

Also why I'm very leery of bringing in volunteer mods; it's easy for a community to be very damaged by one abusive mod.

People who want to be in a position of power (moderator, in this case) are seldom fit to be there.

Yes, I know a lot about missing the perfect world. But can you promise me to try to release at least one "real" GOG per week? I can understand this week: new site, a lot of things to do/plan, but I would not like such things as standard. There are so many games still missing on GOG's list. I can understand that new games can be also "classic" but they are often available elsewhere in many places if anyone is interested.

Great release.
Nice release. I never bought this during the Humble Bundle thing so I might purchase this game later after I verify the actual system requirements.
