    Why it seems all indie developers look like artsy fags & all their games are about kissing flowers & feeding ponies?

    1. It’s because all of the semen they swallow.


    2. It’s a dangerous side effect of releasing games. But seriously, you use Twitter, you’re no better than them.

      They’re just nerds, fags probably wouldn’t know how to program…
      most of those games look like art experiments, different target audience than yours.

      Why are you such a power fantasy fixated man child?

      I kid. I love your work, but I also love the work of those guys. Erik Svedang not wanting to make a violent shooter doesn’t make him a weak-minded hippy, and you not wanting to make a game about managing an ecosystem doesn’t make you a drooling plebian.

      Has them making games somehow affected you making games negatively at all?

      @FishyBoy: Or couse it has, MM is discusted by the lack of manliness and the constant thought is negativly impacting he’s workflow.

      MM makes those games too, you know. R anyone?


    7. FishyBoy

      R still has kind of a manly vibe to it, what with the Predators being your enemies and such.

      I do agree with you, but the fact is most game are known by their presentation. You must attract the eye before you attract the hand.

      Once you have people looking at the game, that were good advertising comes from.

      Halo 3, Gears of War 2, & Modern Warfare 2 are known for their visuals, but also provide addicting and fun gameplay.

      i dont mind cortex command its a good game for when i dont just want to go all out and kill randomly i like having a defended base trying to kill out all the oncoming hordes whilst trying to keep rich and well alive its fun apart from that the rest look too artsy and boring


    10. “all their games are about kissing flowers & feeding ponies” I think more and more gamers are tired of constant killing, flying squished brains, dumb big titted blondes sucking off super tough heroes, drug dealers and ruling (or saving) the world in every game or movie.


    11. @Rook_PL wow, you just described the best game/movie in the world.


    12. Unicorns and soul devouring demons go hand in hand.


    13. Russian bear

      Realese game today, MM!???


    14. Or at least post a video with the smart bot and the grenades?


    15. Or post a video where you tear apart a living sheep and you offer it to Satan.


    16. Because there are lots of indie fags everywhere. If there’s any underground independent project going on be prepared for a large fag-squad arrival.


    17. SplinterSnake

      This entry and the comments make me sick.


    18. Too many ponies, right?


    19. Awesomeman

      it is because they actually release games!


    20. Makron666

      OFF TOPIC: Can we have support for a foreground, so we can have stuff like railing on stairs and broken walls. Just make sure it supports the PNG alpha channel.


    21. Has them making games somehow affected you making games negatively at all?

      I just feel more motivated to finish Link-Dead. It seems that every indie game is somekind of non-violent-art-experiment. Shouldn’t experiments be like 1 in a 100 not all of them!?

      MM makes those games too, you know. R anyone?
      You need to get past the first few levels to notice that the flower collecting part is a cover-up. It is a psychadelic/philosophical experience which are manly subjects.

      I think more and more gamers are tired of constant killing, flying squished brains, dumb big titted blondes sucking off super tough heroes, drug dealers and ruling (or saving) the world in every game or movie.
      How can you be tired by that?? I laugh every time a gostek blows up in Soldat after more than 7 years of this game!


    22. Just watched the movie again – I didn’t notice there was Cortex Command in it. I have nothing against CC.


    23. Rook_PL

      You blind? 10:15


    24. Gnoblar

      Go play “Dark”


    25. Tbh I think you are taking a very extreme narrow view of indie games.

      I dont think you have any right to plainly slander these guys work without a decent arguement.

      And no, calling them “artsy fags” is not a decent arguement.


    26. Maybe it’s because no one wants to sponser, fund, or otherwise help people make non-violent-art-experiment-madness. So maybe it’s not that indie game devs are leaning toward art-koombayah-experiments, but that artsy experimenters can’t help but be independent.

      Just a thought.
