I remember that evening where he sent me a list of games and I played through them all. It was a revelation after I saw how much fun these games actually were (well not all but most of them) and they were easy to produce… so I thought.

I vaguely remember if it was an interview or a tweet from Markus Alexej "Notch" Persson (http://notch.tumblr.com/ ) where he said something like “If you want to do something then just start doing it”. I must say that it gave me real big push in a way. My mind was now set on the idea that I will make my flash game. But suddenly there was a tingling in the back of my head.
