@front page image: Porco Rosso most certainly fits the "machine for pigs" idea.
More seriously: Can't wait. Also can't wait for Spoiler Warning to stand on the heads of all the zombies.

Can we still throw chairs? It was the best part of The Dark Descent. They tell you not to attack, so that's when you throw the chair. It's fun. So much fun.
Oh god I'm still too chicken to finish Amnesia. ;_;
On a lighter note, does anyone else think Frictional's games would work well with Kinect?

Well it depends on what you mean by really shit. As a coherent work art and as a video game, it failed in both regards. As an intriguing and atmospheric experience that made use of no game mechanics whatsoever to provide a flawed, unique and unforgettable experience, it succeeded.
I think of Dear Esther as an interesting experiment in what games can be, not a game in itself, and the product of that experiment stands to work extremely well when combined with the Amnesia formula.

for Allistair here it was mediocre, apparently. For a lot of other people http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dear-esther it was something incredible.
it was really polarizing and really truly not for everyone

Spot on. Everything you said. I really do think it's worth the 10 bucks not just to experience something so unique, but to vote with your wallet and tell the industry that this is the kind of daring, experimental forward thinking we expect as gamers.
That having been said, I fucking adored Dear Esther. Far and away the most unique, exciting gaming experience I've had so far this year.

I agree completely with Tristix.
But I'd like to throw the hipster card, and say I wrote about Dear Esther when it was just a mod and before their next mod Korsakovia came out.

So what are we calling the art-style? Slaughterhouse steam-punk? Having a steampunk game named "a machine for pigs" is really a stroke of genius. It strikes a chord that's difficult to pinpoint, but the image is so vivid that you feel like it was already deeply ingrained in your psyche.
As a child I used to have horrific nightmares about colossal industrial machinery, stretching out in all direction towards infinity. I have feeling this game is going to be particularly disturbing for me.

I absolutely can't wait. Amnesia is my absolute favourite PC game, and probably one of my fav games of all time. Frictional, I love you
