Give the little guys a chance to shine.

The Steam Summer Sale is once again upon us, siphoning away our money for the promise of good times. While I do love getting some big-name stuff for half off, I admit, my favorite thing about the big Steam sales is that I get an opportunity to shill for my favorite indie games. Indie games are one of the major reasons I became a PC-focused gamer; there’s so many really cool ideas that just need a little bit more love from the community at large.

Speaking of communities, actually, that’s another fun thing about indie games; the starring characters are almost like a big community, one you could put on a poster like Nintendo characters. Some of these characters are so cool, I’ve committed their names and stories entirely to memory. Let’s see if you have as well.
