How the heck ramsey is that possible? The most I can put into any game is maybe 10 hours a week. 60+ if I''m making it though.
I wanna'' ride on the pope mobile.

I think it''s some variant of the Evercrack sickness - he plays online. I''ve already tried to convince him to learn to program, and gave up a month or so ago.

Yeh... I tried to convince my cousin to pick up programming. He''s just such a Quake3-junkie and wouldn''t go beyond the first example in a book.
Getting back to the origonal topic for a second...
I think the only downside to the rapid improvement in games is that it will eventually make the "Small Game Developer" opsolete. Think about it, if every game on the market has graphics as good as those in the moves "Shrek" or "Final Fantasy", then it will be next to impossible for newcomers to the industry to sell games. True, even the simplest game can be fun and addicting, but most people wouldn''t even give the game a chance. They''d just look at the screenshots on the box and say, "Yuck! This piece of crap doesn''t even have phong-shaded curved surfaces! I''m just gonna get me a copy of Quake 5 instead!"
Just something to think about...
The Micro$oft has you... Follow the black penguin...
