I think I figured out the Mario series.
The Mario Brothers' parents are the protagonist and damsel-in-distress from Donkey Kong, Jumpman and Pauline. The family's collective last name is Jumpman. Mario and Luigi Jumpman.
Luigi has self-image problems in part because his older brother has always resembled their father more, which has strained Luigi and Jumpman Sr.'s relationship.

But their last name is canonically "Mario". :p

Nintendo has never revealed Mario's full name, stating only that it was not "Mario Mario" despite the implication of the Mario Bros. series' title, its use in the live-action film adaptation, and information given in the Prima official Guidebook to Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.[16]

So Pauline had children with a hero that would later on go on to save more maidens? History repeating, my friends.

If so, I hope Mario doesn't have to save Peach again. If he managed to lose her up until his old age....
On the other hand, this could be a good idea for a realistic platformer. Mario can only jump three pixels high. Luigi needs a crutch.

So until some time on Tuesday, Machinarium is on sale for 7 USD on PSN for Playstation Plus members (of which I am one) and I wanted to know if there were any issues that would mean I shouldn't get it on there (aside from the obvious part where I could probably get it for nearly free off an HIB sale).
Things like being a bad port or having control issues or the developers losing a significant chunk of potential money if I buy it there instead of online.

so, guys, is the game "towns" good if you're generally partial to city builders? from what im gathering its kinda similar to dwarf fortress i guess? http://www.townsgame.com/It's somewhere between Majesty and Dwarf Fortress. It's also quite a bit unfinished, with pretty bad balance issues and a fairly bad UI. |

Might not be a bad thing in terms of health concerns... But that sucks for people who like Twinkies |

Unfortunately that hasn't stopped dozens, if not hundreds of games on greenlight.  |
