Non- gamers often say that gamers are unsocial people. Not true. Of course it is not a very social activity like hanging out with friends. But the popularity of multiplayer games goes to emphasize on the social factors.
Increasing role-playing has reduced the barriers between the players with others. Now a gamer can connect with another gamer at any part of the world. You can be a friend or a complete stranger it doesn’t matter. So if you are a social recluse take heart.
For you could be miles apart, but still playing the game together, since the gulf between the gamer and the virtual world is almost non-existent.
Even if you are a loner, indie-games can relieve you of your boredom. The games are tightly constructed. Also the content is such that you are not left talking to yourself. — Although, some people like to talk to themselves!
However indie-games are not claustrophobic. They give you a chance to speak, you are an active listener not a passive one. We know that people do not like to sit and listen. So indie games will compel you to play since interaction is a top priority in our list.
Look at the past. The board games that you played on a rainy day were also very interactive. But they were closed games. There were these fixed set of rules. The tools were limited to cards, dices etc. Even after so many years, those games may use different designs, but the basic concepts are unchanged. You don’t seem to have much of a choice there.
The interaction quotient work best when you are not aware. That you are actually being interactive and you connect to indie games effortlessly.
And as your skills increase you can play more complex games that need extra dedication. You will find that gamers increase the popularity of games simply by the word of mouth. That is why we do not sell clones. Our games are original and they compel you to play because playing them becomes an enjoyable experience.

As my musical taste changes and continues to develop, I’m finding that indie-pop and folk music is becoming a regular and dominant portion of my music collection. I’m just wondering if there are any good music sites that showcase and focus predominantly on indie/folk bands and artists. I’m consistently advised and recommended bands, but I’d really appreciate if I could discover and find new music. Your help would be appreciated.
Hey. good taste!
First up is myspace. this is kind of lame as it’s owned by Rupert Murdoch so it diminishes the indie value, however, a LOT of unsigned bands put their music on this site. You can browse music by genre (eg. folk) and sort into categories of ‘MAJOR’ ‘INDIE’ or ‘UNSIGNED’ (in terms of record labels). This can be quite handy if you want to hear relatively small bands (ie. indie or unsigned). Myspace pages also have ‘friends’ so you can see which other bands the band you’re looking at recommend.
Another similar website is last.fm. This site is good as it lets you create an account to create playlists. Also, if you’re on an artists page, a collection of ’similar artists’ are shown – a great way to discover new music with an expectation of their sound!
Here are some more websites:
http://www.rock-n-reel.co.uk/
http://www.navigatorrecords.co.uk/
http://www.topicrecords.co.uk/
Although these website are fairly good, my best advice is this:
You can browse the internet all day for good music but you’re never going to get that same romantic feeling of finding a truly awe inspiring album inside a cramped, independent record shop. Buying a second hand, or home produced record is always the best!
