This Week's Waste of Time

Oh, it's a season thick with time wastability. The Independent Games Festival – set to pop off in March of next year in San Francisco – announced the entrants in the competition category. That means a record 306 video games by indie developers just waiting to be played. This is going to take a few weeks people.
