Sorry for getting off-topic for a sec, but A PROFESSIONAL GAME PROGRAMMER, OH MY GOD. That is my LIFELONG DREAM.

You said you've worked for Electronic Arts? What's it like, as a game programmer? I've done some fiddling around with the Source Engine code, and I am trying to get a game project off the ground. Any tips? Things to watch out for? Reasons why Wisconsin is not a good place for game programmers?
