Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Or can you?... Of course we already know the answer, as you have already done one of them.
This cage match isn’t even a competition for me, The Neverhood wins hands down.
What with the crazy awesome music, the unique graphics, the great story, and those cut scenes that are so memorable.
Machinarium is a good game, one of Amanita’s best, but it doesn’t have anything on The Neverhood.
FYI The Neverhood does have dialogue in some of the cut scenes, and the the disks you pick up (if you count that). (also the tv guy)

its a competion even if your avatar say differently Speedbo , i thought you could at leasy be objective, or the least say something like; it just might be an unfair one.
but i had been surprised enough through my time my here, seeing matters (unjustefied) overpowering another, so i become like that saying inquire ‘Jacks complete lack surprise’
well this sounds like saying, i havent watched ‘Angel Heart’ or ‘The Devil Advocate’ to me ears, esp* coming from you,Tim.
They’re on my “to play” list. Pretty high, even.
And I own Machinarium already.
Give me some time.
About a decade at the rate I’m going…

I loved Machinarium - a wonderful adventure game - easily got my vote!
I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.
I love Machinarium and I find it is greatly superior to The Neverhood (an overrated game in my books).
My vote goes to robots fo sure!!

Let’s have some truth here. If you spend half as much time on adventures as you do on casuals, you would have to write a new sig. It’s not lack of time, it’s your preferences. Nothing wrong with that of course, if casuals are your thing more power to you. Just stop pretending you would be playing classics like TLE or The Neverhood or GK if you had more time.
PS: I voted Neverhood. They’re both great games with great music, but the Neverhood will always be the better one for me. Deeper too, or should I say more ambitious.

ALL of those casuals are Community Playthroughs. And about one a month is actually not that much. The regular AG CPTs are about one every two months. Given their length, that means I spend AS MUCH TIME on adventures as on casuals. I get more enjoyment out of a game as a community playthrough than going through it alone, so if you want to blame my preferences, blame my preference for CPTs, not casuals.
However, given that I spend about 20 hours per month on CPTs, and simply lack the time to play anything MORE than that, then yeah, lack of time IS the problem.
More proof? In 2005 I saw 108 movies in cinema and about 500 total. This year, I’ve seen 2 in cinema and about 10 total. My nick is TiMOVIEMan…
A preference for CPTs is part of the reason, but lack of time is the main issue…

Well, when you do find time for Machinearium - you have a real treat in store. I’d love to see this game be a CPT - that would be fun.

Okay, I’ll blame your preference for CPTs.
I see 10 casuals among the recently finished games in your sig. So that’s 10 months of casual CPs = 100 hours. In those 100 hours you could have played 5, 6, 7 adventures. Or watched 50 movies. Again, I’m not saying you should. But the next-in-line part of you sig hasn’t changed in four or five years.

You think I usually spend more than 20 hours a month on playing adventures? Well, to be fair, I did during my AGSotD year. Played a load of recent ones. But in the three months since then I have played Sunset (short), the new King’s Quest (long for me), Her Story (very short), Shades of Black (short), TimeQuest (replay) and Spellcasting 201 (long). That doesn’t add up to 60 hours.

Yeah, you got married and now you have kids. Life has changed forever. Free time was a commodity and now it’s precious. I bet you wouldn’t have it any other way.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa
An escaped convict?? Oh my god, how exciting! Where, where…?

i would say ‘look behind you, a…’ but then I’d sound too Clichéd to me ears

Well, Machinarium is higher on my list of games to play than The Neverhood, and it interests me more. Maybe I should vote for it anyway?
Okay, I’ll blame your preference for CPTs.
No disagreement there. It has made me play some classics too, though. Without the CPTs, I wouldn’t have (yet) played Callahan’s, Obsidian, The Cat Lady, Toonstruck, etc. so it’s not a bad thing.
But the next-in-line part of you sig hasn’t changed in four or five years.
In two years, actually. GK1 was two years ago. And then Zoë was born.

Well, I wouldn’t want to cut back on time with the family, no. So the only options left are cutting back on sleep or work.
