What can I say? Video games are the best thing since sliced bread (Unless we're talking about sourdough). Nothing is better than making games, I'm just lucky people get paid for this sort of thing. This industry is at the forefront of innovation and creativity, and I love it. I am a passionate programmer with a music background, embracing the never-ending challenges of that brutal jungle known as game development. "Whether you think you can, or that you can't, you are usually right." ~Henry Ford
