Not that some of the above link to a YouTube video. C’mon dudes and dudesses – you can make an award nominated indie game, we’re sure you can build a website to go with it. Nonetheless, the vids are cool.
We look forward to bringing you news, interviews and the future of independent games over the course of this much-cooler-temperature weekend from beautiful Culver City, California.
