This is an interview from a couple of years ago from Tim Sweeney, genius megacoder from Gears of War, Unreal etc.
I just read it and thought in case you didn't already see it, some of you "up and coming" game developers might like to hear how a big successful game developer got started (small).
What id had done -- let's put it that Wolfenstein and Doom were so far ahead of everybody else's wildest dreams, that it just seemed crazy to try to compete. But it was around 1994 when I started to see that, yeah, they're actually beatable.

Mr Sweeney drives past my house almost daily in his purple lambo.

What he meant to say was that he drives TO his house for a little morning pick-me-up.......or is that get-me-up....I can't remember which :]
