Well, while all of this is interesting and, I suppose, loosely on-topic, this is not really what I intended when I stated this thread. The thread is really about a backward look at the "adventure" that was the beginning of real-time 3D game creation and a forward look wondering what the next "adventure" might be. This thread is really not about the relationships between programmers and artists or even men and women .

Frankly, I am a bit surprised to not find too many people here posting that got there start back then (early 1990's) and possibly feel the same way. This indicates that either I am the only one (here) that feels this way (possible mid-life crisis ) or that I am one of the older members of this forum ;P .
