As alluded to last week with the release of Amanita's hand-drawn opus Machinarium, the era of the point and click adventure -- which reached its pinnacle throughout the 90s thanks to genre-defining works by LucasArts, Sierra and Cyan -- seemed all but forever over in the decade following, as PC pr...

Wow, symmetry explorer is new to me! The most amazing set i've discovered so far is a search for 'beard,' strangely enough.

joy is not depletable and need not be rationed - spread the love
