The one PC game that I’ve been fapping about for the last couple of months, Machinarium, has finally got a demo release. I’m downloading it as I type. You can get your own from FilePlanet if you’re a fan of the PC adventure games of the past, or present like Monkey Island for that matter. It seems you get the first 3 stages to play through. I know for certain that it will not be enough to feed my appetite for point-and-click gaming.
The game comes out in earnest on the 16th of this month for just about every digital distribution outlet you can think of. For sure this is a game that deserves everyone’s support, it’s independent and looks to be a blast. I’ll let you know when I finish with the demo. In the meantime, go ahead and enjoy the extended trailer for the game.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
