I'm working in "regular" B2b company. I make games in free time. I dreamt of being game programmer since I was 8.
I went to a gamedev job interview recently (messed up the 2nd stage (un?)fortunately), the first stage was some small tasks about 3d graphic, gemoetry, collision detection, etc. It's just so much more fun to me than "parse xml, put stuff in db, render html". I don't know why, maybe simply because it's different? I always enjoyed small scale math problems, and I don't really get to do that in my regular job.
