If you've ever thought about getting into game development or just wondered about it, the Humble GameMaker Bundle makes it cheap and easy to do so!
Game makers pretty nifty, I took a quick course on it in college and you can do some pretty amazing stuff. People were making top down RPGs, platformers, RTS, zombie survival, bullet hell, so on so forth. You can do just about anything with game maker if you set your mind to it. Not uncommon to get a full fledged 20minute long game going if you have a month and an artist to back you.
I love Software that allows me to create. This is awesome even if it's only just kind of good.
