Sup Zorb?

Hey Zorb, you've been posting a lot, but I still don't know much about you.  So here's your chance.  It's been a while since we had a newcomer's perspective of GameDev, so as our newest member, would you care to share a bit?

• How did you discover the Scrolling Game Development Kit?
• What about the Scrolling Game Development Kit interested you?
• What have you done or tried with the Scrolling Game Development Kit so far? (Have you gone through the Quick Tutorial and the Full Tutorial?  Did you even know they existed?)
• How hard has it been for you to learn to use the Scrolling Game Development Kit so far?
• What do you plan to do with the kit?  Play games?  Edit Games?  Make your own?

I'd appreciate a full thoughtful reply if you can spare the time (and judging from how often you post, it certainly looks like you have the time to spare! )

Oh, also, if you'd like to share a bit more, I'd also be curious to know where you're from (south you said?) and what you do for a living (are you a student?  do you have a job?)

I'm from Minnesota and I'm a business software programmer that works on Scrolling Game Development Kit in my free time.

Wow, so people are talking about GameDev in convenience stores now, eh?  That's cool.  So are any of that group of "nerds" making games, or were they just talking about it.  It'd be interesting to get them in here too to see what they have to say about GameDev.  Do you know any of them, or did you just overhear them talking?
