Okay, I'm taking a bit of a break from the trash talking for this post. I have to say one thing: I'm really excited about how this game development contest is shaping up. It looks like George is off to a great start. I read through his design document and if he can complete his game, I think that I for one will definitely enjoy it and that he would stand a good chance at winning that 360. I really love reading about other people writing games and I have a feeling that there is going to be no shortage of that in the next 40+ days.
Another thing that excites me is that, if this continues, it might be able to bring some good attention to leveraging .NET as a hobbyist game developer since you can do it for completely free now.
Anyways, sorry for the diversion. Back to the trash talking and game programming :).
