Ok, I'm about to hop in the shower so I can't read all that right now, so just answer me this; am I a progressive gamer if I think Mega Man 9 is awesome?

If so, then yes I'll stand up

You may still be. Read on. :)

@ noname2200: That may be true, but when I see good, innovative games like Boom Blox and Braid being outsold by middling-to-terrible shooters and RPGs, you just have to wonder whether there's something wrong with us gamers as a whole. That's what prompted me to write.

This is pretty much true in every entertainment industry though.  Lots of great bands are overshadowed by people like Britney Spears (or whoever is popular these days).  Arrested Development gets cancelled while American Idol gets millions of viewers.  etc.
