It is a wonder of God's love. It is always fun to listen to creative minds doing their work, whether in writing, filmmaking,game making, or playing with your children. I love watching young people play and create toys, games, dances, stories, music, prayer and use their youthful creative energy, even in the poorest and difficult circumstances. As adults, we must strive to always encourage and nurture imagination.

I haven't actually heard anything like that said about game making, but from what I've gathered so far its a little like making a monster. One of those frankenstein type monsters made from other things but also the type that gets loose and stalks a bunch of promiscuous twenty-something campers out in the woods. And then at the end the sheriff kills it just before it gets into the city and no one realizes that it laid eggs in the girl's brain. Yeah, making games is kind like that. To infinity, and beyond!
