* Indies Will Shoot You In The Knees – Why We Don’t Play Fair — Everyone is talking about Indie games — titles like World of Goo, Braid, and aaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! — A Reckless Disregard for Gravity are making press and making money. But they’re fighting against games with $200 million dollar budgets and 100+ person dev teams. How do Indies compete? Three Boston-based Indie developers will check their water-guns at the door and tell you why and how Indie games are kicking more ass, taking more names, and chewing more bubblegum than their AAA rivals. You will hear from the Ichiro Lambe (IGF Finalist Dejobaan Games, Aaaaa!), Scott Macmillan (Macguffin Games, All Heroes Die) and ex-Bungie AI wizard Damián Isla, founder of the new indie Moonshot Games. The panel will be moderated by Eitan Glinert, founder of Fire Hose Games.

Mega Man 10 is a Capcom game, not a SEGA game.
Whoops! So is Phoenix Wright.
Like all good writers, this is a compilation of plagiarisms. So I blame the original author, who I didn’t credit. Damn him. Just to give him proper credit and damnation, I got that list from the PAX East Forum.
I mean, what are you talking about? I didn’t list those above
Sorry about that Mega Man 10 and Phoenix Wright thing. I know the difference between Capcom (who has not been confirmed to be at PAX East yet) and Sega, so I think it is really strange that I made that mistake.
Full Tilt, thanks for seeing the value in that list that I spent like 2 hours making. I would be even happier if you’d mention my name next time.
Mentok : Sorry for not crediting you, I’ve fixed it above. I debated it but I wasn’t sure how best to credit a random name on another message board and never got back to it before I submitted it. Again, sorry for the oversight! If you see me at PAX I’ll buy you a beer.
what no mc chris? and tilt is it graw 4 or 4 because i dont recall a graw3 lol
stupid typos
its neither weasel. it is Ghost Recon 4. GRAW was Ghost Recon 3. it was just called ghost recon: advanced warfighter.
I can’t wait until PAX comes. Really looking forward to it!
Mancave = my wife. She’s anticipating the alone time. Anyone else’s wife start calling PAX their “big gay weekend”?
what have you been telling your wife is going to happen at pax? Im sure the other guys would like to know before they share a room with you.
