OMG! It appears my entire programming life is a lie! Looks like not only was I tricked into thinking game programming is hard, but, when I started doing it myself, I perpetuated the lie by telling others it's difficult. It's a good thing this guy stepped in!

Good news guys! My Appleseed game is coming out this week!

Also, this guy's an assclown. Kind of like the web designer that can't grasp CSS and Accessibility, so he writes an angry blog post on how to create a table-based webpage in Frontpage, while declaring people like me who actually worked hard to learn this stuff as "stupid."

This article is a shame, because it takes a great introductory tool like XNA and turns it into an axe to grind.

I feel your pain.

Whether its 'I got a microphone, so I'm going to make a kick ass podcast now' or 'I downloaded the Halflife2 SDK, I'm going to make a kick ass mod now' or
'I got a video camera, I'm gonna make a kick ass movie now'.

Hey, as soon as I got my hands on my high school's video camera in Media Arts, I made the BEST god damn FPS with finger-guns you've ever seen. HUD, sniper scope sequence and all.

And I'm going to try to borrow my parents cheapo JVC HD handicam so I can make NEXT GEN FPS in widescreen with an all brown and gray pallete.

also programming

I made a game once where you had to make it to a telephone before what I like to call 'Agents' can kill you.
