LCom asks:

• What is your guy's opinions on indie/art games (passage, etc.)? do you think they are actually working to advance video games as a medium, or are they to artsy to ever be accepted by the mainstream gaming culture?

Paul: Passage isn't a game; it's an art project.
Jer: I don't think those are mutually exclusive.
They talk about Braid for a while, with some minor spoilers, and the artistic significance of that game,
and Soldja Boy's review thereof. Tim says the theme of Braid is not cohesive.
