iii Initiative Showcase Today @ 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT
I saw this announced a week or so ago but didn't know what to expect from it to post anything about it. Been hearing talk today of it running for almost an hour with over 30 games to be shown, so sounds like it'll be a big thing. The whole showcase is purely for indie developers that are larger than what would be typically thought of under the term "indie", hence the name being iii which is meant to be an indie version of the term AAA.

A streamer I watch on Twitch started up a playthrough of Brutal Legend yesterday, and while I've heard of the game I haven't ever seen anything of it to know more than it's a game with Jack Black in it. Seeing that it has a lot of actual musicians starring in it as themselves was not something I was expecting, and from what I did see of the game it actually looks fun enough to consider playing it some time. If nothing else, I can appreciate it as a game that would never get made today with the amount of money it would cost just to pay for the people and music the game features. On that note, I'm genuinely surprised that game hasn't been delisted from Steam considering the amount of licensed music in it; I'm used to games with licensed music being killed off within 10 years at best to avoid paying further royalties.
Anyone here ever played the game at all?

I have not, but I am familiar enough with it to know what you're talking about. It was billed as this big action game, when in reality its more of a zoomed-in strategy game. Also, by the crazy bastards behind Psychonauts, so that's always a plus.
Also, it stars Jack Black. Who doesn't love Jack Black?
