Indie Game is a fantastic documentary. I highly recommend it.

This includes this video in its entirey. How annoying.

This video is a small portion of a much more interesting video about Phil Fish, the infamous indie dev of Fez.

The Nickleback thing is just an analogy; he's actually talking about why people love to hate Phil Fish and what it means. Recommend watching the whole video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTUW-owa2w

I must concur. Indie-pop, try-psyche, wannabe poser-rocker college drop-out masturbation....

Would be difficult to swing that because F1 didn't have the type of organized pit stops we see today until much much later. Refueling during a race was first done in a properly calculated way in 1982 by Brabham, before that they only did it in emergency situations (barring Fangio's German Grand Prix win in 1957, where he just decided to do it mid race, but would probably have won even without it). It was again outlawed by 1984, and came back in 1994, then went away in 2010 again, so the only times in history that proper pit stops with fueling etc. have been in common use in F1 are between 1982-1984 and 1994-2009. Likewise stopping for new tyres pretty much came in with the fuel stops in 1982, because naturally they realized they could run softer tyre compounds if they only had to last half a race.

In the 50s, 60s and 70s you'd basically only see the F1 drivers pitting in if there were problems with the car, for the most part they really really wanted to avoid coming into the pits if at all possible. Exception being races like the Indy 500 which was simply too long to complete in one go.

Also somewhat interesting because it's weird: The 1950's clip is from the Indianapolis 500. It's only tangentially related to Formula 1. At least during some part of the history of the race, Formula 1 championship points were awarded for the Indy 500, probably because many of the F1 drivers competed in the race. Slightly more interesting would have been seeing a pit stop of an actual F1 race from 1950 since they would have had a different governing body and probably different rules.

Who said anything about "thought provoking meaningful experience"? =)

You're doing what all classic internet "experts" (ie. arrogant twats who think their opinion is the last word on everything) do, creating a fallacious argument to launch your scathing invective at while missing the point entirely. If you tried to bolt depth on to a title like Wolfenstein, you'd be undermining the core of the game, which is Nazi destroying mayhem. Do you really need a complex story arc giving you motivation to kill a thousand mecha-SS riding T-Rexs? Of course not.

A game does not require depth to be fun. Certainly there are plenty of indie games that also indulge in the "no depth all action" genre (http://www.crimsonland.com/ as a classic example).

I do have to correct one error in my previous post however, it's not a stick up your ass. It's your head... ; )

Haha, OK when you aren't picking up a BFG and killing off *insert ridiculous nazi baddies* in the last act, then you can come back here and tell me how wrong I was and what a thought provoking meaningful experience the game is.

I'll be playing some indie games that are actually trying to do something more interesting than shooting anything that moves.

Exactly. It's why trailers nowadays reveal just about everything. It's why we're not getting off superhero movies anytime soon.

The movie industry in the last 10 years has seen a bifurcation into either cheap indie flicks or super expensive international blockbusters with the middle largely disappearing. Since major studios are increasingly relying on fewer and more expensive super blockbusters, any semblance of risk taking has gone out the window.

It's all remakes, adaptations, re-remakes. The plots are made as basic as possible with no particularly cultural inclination lest foreign cultures are confused. Movie posters are no different. If teal and orange signifies action thriller and fosters a positive association with previous flicks then like hell they're going to change it.

This music makes me wanna try heroin. Is that why indie music people dig this droning, annoying, sing-along stuff so much?

Look, after he's finished he's got that greasy, hipster look on his face..."Feel my pain and rage and, OH! Dole me out another warm gush of arm candy!"
