Now, while it's true Direct X is usable with VB, so is game maker. Heck, if there is a program or software package that runs on a windows machine, you can make it work with VB. While you can indeed create games via VB, it would be downright foolish. You want to act like your getting into the professional career? Well, if your going into the code aspect of Game making, I suggest C, C Sharp, and C++, three languages that trump VB in all aspects of professional game making.

Besides, if it took you this long to figure out how to multi-quote, I have to admit you are most likely in the wrong field. You may do ok in graphic design, as you use designated programs for that (and, it's not even that bad of a career... and you can use it to become a designer for a game company).

As for the Anime idea - it's not that it isn't a interesting idea, it's that after being shown how "impossible" it is, you insist we are wrong. Get out of denial, and face the real world.
