What this kid say in the first minute is really true. I was craving to make video games when I was a kid, if there was a book about creating video games, I would buy it. I tried everything, my parents didn't really know how to help me...
I ended up choosing flash, it was back in 2002 and started to learn action script (which was very basic then). Made a lot of crappy games, but got bored by the limitations of the software.
Now, years after, I still really want to make a game, but I'm in the wrong major, I'm trying to get into directX but It's really too difficult for me... I don't even know where to start.
