as far as the eye can see

Just when I think I can get by without boingboing they throw another banana at the monkey on my back. Today I get Samorost, a pair of free Czech videogames from Amanita Design, and my whole afternoon evaporates. It's Myst without the o-so-serious new-age atmosphere of calcified nerdity. Or, if you're Dutch, it's a gezellig Myst.

Landscapes of magnificent scanned mossy objects, with J. Otto Siebold nouns scampering on top, and immaculate psilocybin logic to the problem-solving.

Spoiler: when the woodpecker eats all the grubs, the squirrel will take his fingers out of his ears and play the drum-and-bass track on the phonograph that wakes up the owl.

I am going to go play it again.
