I promise never to promise you that I will promise you that I will promise you that you will fail. I promise that if I do, you will likely succeed. Perhaps I cannot promise you that you will succeed nonetheless, as such a promise could never be promised by me; yet I can promise that if you promise yourself never to promise yourself that will will not fail, you will be better prepared not to fail at succeeding.

Good Luck.

Wow, that would probably take me an hour to actually understand fully, haha. But I get the basic gist, and thank you, I think. But I am definitely going to try to get a decent version of this ready for the 2011 Indie Games Festival. Because if I can show off something really cool there I could possibly "A": Win a reward for art, design, or whatever and "B": If it is top-notch, there are many people from the industry there looking for original delevopers and I could, hopefully, impress them. If the stars align, and God does me a favor, maybe a producer from a game company would invest. And then life would be happy.

But if you check out video game trailers of games from the IGF, you will be amazed by the high level of originality. If you want to see the most original ideas in gaming, check it out. I would have to be nothing less than a game designing genius to win against some of these. Check these out: (I'm not sure if ALL of them were entered in contest)
