I have to say that 'Indie Game the movie' is absolutely fantastic. It's the programmer's 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi'. (with added bonus points for their DRM-free delivery).

Well worth your $10 through http://www.indiegamethemovie.com/ or whatever you pay through this bundle. Go watch the trailer and then buy it in some form.

and for reference: 92% on RT

When i showed the film to my programming class, they said they all seemed "whiny and suicidal". Personally, i liked it, but their opinion, if somewhat pointed, has some merit.

I guess putting years of your life into a project that could easily fail financially is very discomforting. It's understandable when they seem a bit thin-skinned.

But Phil Fish – the guy behind FEZ – made me feel really uneasy. He reminded me of myself in my late teens/early twenties, when I was actually suffering almost constant thoughts of suicide.

I sincerely hope he gets his shit together soon. I hate to see someone suffer for no real reason at all.

I liked the Team Meat commentary. There's a few points where they're like "wow, did we really say that stuff?"

It's also on Netflix.
