"How do I get started programming games?"

Interesting article from the programmer, Tommy Refenes (Super Meat Boy).
From reading his article I have learned that rather than focusing on just programming I should focus more on learning a game engine (Unity, SDK, Source, Gamemaker), so that I can immediately start making games.
The article provides much good advice for beginning game programmers/designers.
For those of you who already know a language, work with whatever you are comfortable with.
