Wandering Through The ‘Burning Man’ Of Video Games
“Indiecade is like the burning man of video game events.” I can’t remember who said that to me, but that’s how the young conference celebrating independent games — which started off as a part of E3 before it went off and did its own thing — was introduced to me.
