Quantcast



And I am inclined to agree. Enjoy this new Mega64 video, featuring a variety of non-indie persons from all walks of life, receiving a well-deserved punch in their stupid faces. Although I'm not sure the one landed on the girl with the Slurpee was quite warranted, but who am I to judge? 

You may have already seen this video as part of my ritualistic celebration of Friday in my community blog, but upon noticing that it had not also found its way to the front page, Niero promptly punched me in the face in much the same manner as is seen in the video. And let me tell you, the man packs a wallop. Anyway, enjoy the vid, which I would watch along with you were it not for the fact that my eye is now swollen shut.

Out of all the Indie guys they could have chosen not to punch, they had to choose Dan Paladin.

I hope you guys realize that they're parodying the "if you're not indie, fuck you" people. Elitism is exactly what we don't need more of in gaming.

Poor Pokemon guy! Why'd they have to go the extra mile and shoot the poor guy?! As for the indie dude trying to start a company, is it no longer indie when your video game company is rich? However that girl deserved to get punched, I think she was a drinking a 7-Eleven slurpee, definitely NOT an indie drink. I don't think Dan Paladin was such a good choice to be spared getting punched, the guy sells merchandise off the Newgrounds site, and let's not forget that LOOONG patch update for Castle Crashers.

Indie-only gamers are just as bad as Gears Goons. I'd concur with Sharpless and say that there's more elitism in gaming than any other medium.

I was playing Halo 3 while watching this.

Is that ironic or just wrong?

halo 3 is always wrong tubatic.

yey DAN!

also, slurpee's are indie cause they are only 1.95! and they let you create your own swirly art by mixing in whatever awesome order you want!

Classic. And yes, "indie" elitism seems a narrow view. Indie can be cool, big-budget can be cool. Both can suck. Art is art. And yeah, Dan Paladin is Indie, insofar as he and The Behemoth have blazed their own path. Everyone starts "indie". Just because other people want to support you and help your craft doesn't necessitate "selling out". It means your work is valued, the goal of most, if not all, artists. /rant.

Yeah, funny video.

How do you people know what Dan Paladin looks like? I've been a gamer since I was a kid, been coming to Dtoid for 2 years and countless other gaming sites before that. f

The only gaming face I know is Cliffy B...only because he has a stupid name and markets himself as much as his games (or do game sites do that for him?)

@Count

I would argue that because of it's competitive nature, there's more elitism. But you're right, as a rather large music fan, I do find a ton of elitism (surprise!) also in the indie fans.
