mainly about the pressure and stress indie game developers experience when trying to submit their creations to big companies like SONY or Microsoft.

Pretty entertaining

I want to watch this, but I heard it had a lot of Phil Fish in it and I honestly can't stand the guy.

i didnt know the guy before the movie, and didnt really see whats so wrong with him (in the movie).
seems like a regular 20s something hipster type of video game dude.

>that part where he's at the expo, got his game set up at his stand all happy and shit
>first guy walks up to play
>game crashes after 5 minutes

i genuinely felt bad for the guy

It really shows the difference between Fish, Blow, and McMillen. Fish is a whining faggot, Blow is pretentious, and McMillen is a weird guy who loves games. I'd say it's worth watching since it's on Netflix you could probably watch it on Youtube too. Don't pay to specifically see it though unless you're really into game development.

Chasing Ghosts for a documentary that takes a genuine, non-glamorized look at video games.

God, I watched two minutes of it, and it just gives me too many feels.

I can't stand seeing arcades of the 80's and 90's. Unless it's Arino I can't just stand it. I never got to see that era, because it was almost non existent in my homecountry, and now it's dead anyways.

Sure, I had awesome vidya back then, consoles and all that shit, but what would I give to see a real arcade one day.

I second this.

As for fiction The Thirteenth Floor was pretty good.
