What do you know about game design? If you're like many of us, you probably just enjoy playing them and don't really delve into their creation process. Fortunately some people do. I recall one day several years back, I was delivering Chinese food to a large business center. As I knocked on a typical office door, I didn't think much of it. However, when a young man opened the door with a computer screen flashing some cool new video game in the background; I was a little curious. I asked him what he does, and he replied with "I design video games." I was in awe. Someone actually does this? Well, of course they do; I simply never thought about it. He told me that he spent a great deal of his work day playing the games and looking for quirks and flaws. It almost sounds too good to be true.
