That's so funny. I play more mainstream games now than I did in my past. I still dabble in some indie games. By the way, I downloaded the Dear Esther mod... a little slow of foot. I wish I could speed it up a little bit.
I remember playing Morrowind for 3 hours just organizing the loot i had in the place i was illegitimately squatting in when the dude i helped out left town...all the while my own real apartment could have benefited from 3 hours of actual cleaning and organizing.
My experimental stage consisted mostly of gaming mods which was the only way, at the time, to play anything doing something extremely different gameplay wise.
Hey, there are lots of games out there that are neither mainstream, nor indie but fall between having both the artistic voyerism it takes to engage, and the budget to follow up. ICO or Shadow of the Colossus are obvious choises, but Indigo Prophecy, Mirror's Edge (artistic direction, not gamelpay), and perhaps Heavenly Sword for it's high quality MOCAP
Glad someone else is willing to give the original Halo the credit it deserves. I don't think I'd still be playing video games were it not for that title.
