In browsing old questions in this category I noticed quite a few questions related to that wonderful game "Machinarium", wanting to know if they have more.

The do not have an update, or Machinarium 2 yet, but they do have others. In particular I'd like to direct you to "Samorost" and "Samorost 2", both from Aminita design and very much like they're "big brother", Machinarium.

I own all three and have a standing order for their next production. They've told me to expect a "Samorost 3" to be out soon.

I have no question, but feel free to comment.

Good gaming!

I'm curious how many others of you who, like myself, give a goodly chunk of their time and thought...and many times...research, to answer a question in a thorough, accurate manner, only to discover when you return with this information, that the asker has chosen an answer before you can even post?

Then there are many others who will choose their "Best Answer" based on who answered first!

If the askers are sincere in wanting the best answer available, then why do they not avail themselves of all the days allotted, and all the answers in, before rendering their decisions?

This has me so disgusted...(not for myself, as I answer because I want to help, but time and again I see others who have given solid, clearly straight-forward accurate answers who were passed over for someone with a cutesy answer, or because they chose too quickly)...I am seriously considering withdrawing entirely from this 'community'.

Any others of you who feel this way...or is it just me?
