I've made this little playlist as a way of showing my friends what this indie business is all about.

Any suggestions?

There are about 100x more indie games with great trailers than are on that list, so giving suggestions would amount to: add the 100s of indie games with great trailers that you missed. You also tended to pick the more well-known indie games, whereas the point of such a list would be to point out games that people haven't heard of. I can't imagine that even the most mainstream gamer hasn't heard of World of Goo or Cave Story.

Nobody I know knew about Cave Story till I showed it to them... and I don't know anybody in real life who knows about World of Goo apart from myself. In fact, the only indie game any of my friends knew about until I showed them some was Platypus.

I found your 100 games in 10 minutes list a good resource for finding Game Maker and Clickteam games, so a few of those videos might work well on the list and would expose people to some games without trailers.

Well I think he just wanted to show his friends a few videos so they could get interested enough in indie games to look for others themselves. I doubt they'd sit down and watch 100s of them. Even I wouldn't do that.

Well, when I make playlists I usually intend to be exhaustive -- if someone doesn't like a particular video they can skip it etc.
