Cars were burning in the street of Vancouver in British Coloumbia, Canada. People were rioting like when it happens during the G8 where politicians meet and decide, where a smoke column was rising above the city after many people started wrecking downtown. The result of this terror was a hockey game that saw the Vancouver Canucks loosing against Boston. That's all it took to show the world how powerful stupidity is. But what's more terrifying was the number of people that were afflicting without any purpose or without any reason, just to destroy what's theirs. 

People abandoned morality to pursue futility in an attempt of self glorification while taking pictures next to burning car wrecks, and many of them laughing and smiling as if it was a game they were entitled to participate - "It's my city and I will destroy it!"-. 

It looks like society is slowly slipping into an hegemony of destruction while acknowledging it and doing anything to reverse course, because it is getting harder to cope with each other, with our priorities that don't match our expectation and our persona changes alienating others; and nobody wants to take the blame. Not even stupidity.

INDIE!

It has the meaning of some sort of underground musical trend that you heard somewhere, but you weren't sure what it's made of. Indie is the underground, it's the label of the creation that comes from outside the mainstream.
Some will say it's the underdog and it sounds like it because someone managed to become big.
When I started playing Minecraft I thought I was getting into another easy-catch game that would fill the empty hours for a week or two. I way wrong and on top of that I was amazed by the success that Machinarium had last year.

Machinarium presents its original art

The majority of these indie games are based one principle which is to have a product that works and it's fun. Creators are game-veterans that treasured the big-developer mistake and spawned something with an amazing game play. Graphics are, off course, not the top-notch quality because of limited materials and budget. What you have in your hands is a truly amazing creation that has the possibility to influence the rest of the player-base.

Minecraft met Hollywood

There's a whole new galaxy of games that are packed wit more content and more fun than your latest action game. The price tag comes simple because you won't spend a fortune for these games. Many indie developers create functional products that are awarded for their creativity because they don't go through a marketing screening that can influence the final product.

Indie is also those who create mods to perfect games that are already an establishment. Take for  instance Half Life 2 with its mod community that crafted many original products like the Minerva, a successful modifications still played today.
