Once upon a time, I used to want to program games. And then I realized that I
wasn't really all that good at telling a story, making 3D models, and especially
texturing those 3D models, so all I'd be doing is making an engine that probably
spun some cubes at blinding speeds (if that). That being said, I wish [I could
get paid to write games in Java][java-game], or at least translate them from the
original C.
