Like I was saying on Twitter earlier, this has been a strange day. I've had this eerie feeling, like people are watching me brush my teeth or something. I'm sure it'll pass.

But that's not why I blogged. I have a question: this week, I'm running a column on an indie game, Blueberry Garden. And I'm still feeling out the audience here, so I wasn't sure how to present it. SG attracts a very alt.culture/indie/underground following. But I've gotten the feeling that indie games and indie gaming doesn't have the same reach as say, indie music or indie films. Also, while music fans might skip the Top 40, gamers generally play the big games. My hip, in-the-know game blogger pals still took a spin through Far Cry 2 and Halo 3. We can always talk about inFAMOUS, but freeware shmups are kind of a niche.

But forget about my assumptions. I'm curious: do you guys check out indie games? Where do you go to read about them? What do you look for? What are your faves? What are your recommendations? And have you ever gotten burned, shocked, or alarmed?

Actually I failed terribly, but I do have a couple days left to drop the class without further boning my GPA. :\

Glad you enjoyed Warning Forever. I'm a huge fan of hardcore shmup action!

No problem on that...I actually spend most of my time over there in YCS, acting like an idiot with a bunch of other people acting like idiots. It's sort of a subforum for people who think the regular Games forum on SA is a bit too serious. Just a warning, though, YCS isn't necessarily friendly...it's mostly just retarded. In a fun way, of course.
