private bool Passion;

You know, I never realy was sure about the game developer thing.

Yes, I like to programm, to have ideas, to make those ideas real, to work with other people, etc. But there is also something I wasn't that sure if I got it till now.

As a game developer you not only have to spend the whole day sitting on your ass, but also sometimes the whole night. As you might already guess, I'm talking about such kind of passion, that lets you know no differnt time border but the deadline.

And as I mostly only spend around 3 hours a day on programming, etc. I actually wasn't sure about if I was able to spend the 'day' (8-9 hours) working on a game, or what ever.

But all that thougth suddenly disappeared when my brother called me a few days ago that he needs me and my godlike CAD skills to draw a gearbox for him, which he needs till monday (today). So we meet yesterday, eat lunch and started.

He spend the most time rethinking all the calculations, which weren't finished as I started drawing the gears.
I already had all gears (4 to give a figure) and a bunch of other stuff when he was done with the calculation.

And then I just drew.



Finaly a 22:00 my brother called me to tell me that I got school next day and that I must not wait the whole night with it as its probably pointless anyway. ... So I actually spend around 10 hours on a project that don't affects my live in anyway, and the only reward is a free entry card for the Iron Man movie (~7€). ... Some people may diffine passion differnt, but it works for me :)

And now guess what I would be capable of when there is a deadline infront of me and a angry boss in my neck! I could plan, build, populate and burn rom in just one day!!!!!!
