I draw parallels between this and the crap china is pumping into the Australian market space, eventually people see and become tired of the crap and as such the process levels itself out.

Nice comparison :)China is destroying India's economy this way.

So essentially if you don't work for Valve then chances are you hate your job />

Valve 4EVA. They certainly make the best games, and their employees are really satisfied.
However, looking at that list tells me - Indie is the best.

Not to beat a dead horse this morning, but did you just try searching in google or bing for "c# directx"?

No... I used a shitty search engine. <Punches himself>. I just suck in this aspect... the search result hit upon a msdn page, which showed me nothing new... so I posted this.

Also, i checked out SlimDX and SharpDX. Does anyone know of a good tutorial to using SharpDX without Metro?

iOS development is about as best exposure you are going to get as an indie developer. It does mean that you will need a Mac of some kind and learn Objective-C, but it really is your best shot.

AFAIK, Objective-C is easy, and you can Install Mac OSX on a Virtual Machine. Would definitely try that out if I wanted to start out with iOS programming.

How have you been damaged? />

I dont know why but my creative muse strikes about 1-2 AM, if I want to ride the wave I end up getting no sleep until bout 7 or 8 the next morning with no sleep. KILLS my sleep schedule and dealing with family n stuff, plus I have serious immune system problems so if I hit 2 weird nights in a row with no sleep I could end up in pretty serious trouble *sigh* Why can't the stroke of genius hit some other time of the day???

Oh yeah item #2, trying to explain to ANYone what I was able to accomplish when I get a brainstorm and pull off what for me is some pretty slick logic that I'm kinda proud of. Wife, she starts to sweat and asks me to stop when I walk her through a data flow diagram, send code to buddies to have them run it and they're like, huh yeah ok nice program... Try to find someone who GETS it to talk with!!! ARHGHGHHH!

I understand your problem mate... I live neck deep in an Indian village and everybody in my school is as dumb as soup. Don't get me wrong, academically they are quite good, but none of them can think as logically. Also,

Let's see... I use // to comment out math work, and I sometimes end a line of math with a semicolon. Also, I learned != before =/=, so it seems much more natural to me. Sometimes I use x++ as a shorthand in my notes. And in math when we learned about sequences I was pissed that we didn't have to write out a for-loop or recursive function for the Fibonacci sequence. It's cool that we all do these things

I make all my calculations in math functions, when working with linear inequalities I use && and |, and I terminate all my math staements with ;
