It is, quite literally, amazing to behold." http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showpost.php?p=11492016&postcount=15 (http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showpost.php?p=11492016&postcount=15) One blogger's view of Machinarium @ PAX: http://pax09.posterous.com/cwknight-at-the-pax-10-machinarium-booth (http://pax09.posterous.com/cwknight-at-the-pax-10-machinarium-booth) And, on the down-side, it appears that the recent outbreak of the H1N1 virus (a.k.a.
