Personally, I think Danny's revelation in the lastest MM3 that A-hole and the B-hole are the same may be a true landmark in not just Grumpology, but Anatomy, Philosophy and Taxadermy.

Finally catching up on grumping and this Dreadout play-through has been amazing so far. I'm impressed the game just lets you piss off in the opposite direction and entirely ignore whatever is going on.
If they had trolled you by getting you run over by a car for doing that it would have been incredible.
There was one indie game I recall where I think Patrick Klepek was doing a Worth Playing of, and it was a Ludum Dare entry. They said it had a pretty "indie ending" as far as indie games go. Can't remember the name of it but there were 4 paths, (north path was locked) leading to 4 bosses, each boss had a simple one-hit-to-kill weakpoint, and your only weapon was an arrow that you could charge up and recall back to you. The last boss...
The last boss was you. You had to shoot yourself, because you were the last living thing in the world.
My question is why must indie games be so pretentious, and covet the "indie" title like it's some kind of honoured achievement? To be thought-provoking? To earn those accolades that dozens of online websites bestow to games and in a sea of FPS and action games, it's easier to win in the indie category if you just go abstract enough?
the Graveyard. - lowercase "t", uppercase "G" and a period. It's like that band fun. in that I want to find the person(s) responsible and tell them to get over themselves.
Because it's easier to sell a crappy game on a cool premise (see: slender, Goat Simulator, They Breathe)
Goat Simulator didn't sell itself as an indie, or an any possible conceivable way as pretentious. It was a joke, the devs made it as a joke, and everything about it is a joke. They made a point to only fix game breaking bugs and leave anything else for shits.
It's also stupidly fun, despite being a 'crappy' game, and I don't have anything in the house that can make my 5yr old giggle like playing it can.
Goat Simulator had enough sense to be funny and make fun of a LOT of different things, including about itself. I did not mind giving $10 for that.
But speaking of Simulator games, I often wondered how the hell the countless other Simulator games that keep having yearly releases on Steam even exist. Like, is there a legitimate market for shit like Farm Simulator and Train Simulator and the rest?

Yes. Farm Simulator and Train Simulator (as examples) have big followings in Europe and IIRC, that's even where those games come from in the first place. They aren't big budget games and they appeal to their niche very well - something that certain publishers have lost the ability to figure out in recent years (hence why so many of them are going down the toilet probably).
I wasn't really calling it pretentious, those were his words. My point is if you take a good idea but under-explore it, it comes across less artsy and more like a 'tech demo'.
Indie is also rapidly becoming slang for "Anything that isn't a big budget triple-A game".
This definition, I have no problem with. There are plenty of indie-developed titles I've supported and enjoyed.
It's the more abstract "indie" games where I guess I often wonder if I'm appreciating their contributions to the genre.

Also, for anyone who doubs the greatness of Farming Simulator:
Also, indie games sometimes are pretentious because they can. Most AAA games can't (unless you're Kojima or Cage or some tosser like that), because they're made by huge companies that are part of huger companies that have boards, VPs, Marketing, focus groups, dividends, managers, general managers, stockholders, so on, so forth.
The whole point of being indie is "I'm/we're making this game whatever/however I/we wanna make it". If the result's pretentious, that's ok. If it's funny, that's ok too. If it's neither, that's also OK.
I wouldn't even call that pretentiousness. I call it drive. I call it "I wanna make something that's like this". AAA games have sheer search for profit as driving force. Indie games many times doesn't. So you need to have some pretension to get it done.
Heck, even Game Grumps is made out of the pretense that they're funny. Many people would think that's super pretentious.
I wish I was so "pretentious". Then I'd have done much more of my life.
They should do a whole Megaman month. They could do a bunch of spinoff games; Megaman Soccer, Super Megaman Adventure, Legends, that Tron Bonne game, and of course the numerous GBA titles.
