Getting the Source SDK = free download. I've even downloaded it. And 
several similar things like it for other games. (Most notably, there was 
a thing called Quake Object Oriented Level Editor or "QOOLE".)

What can I say? I just can't figure out how to produce anything 
worthwhile. :-(

I know some people who have really been snipers. As in, they've killed 
actual people during an actual war.

They don't talk about it much...

Yeah, but... throwing together a new map is one thing, but building an 
entire new game... where do you get all the texture data from? Where do 
you get all the sounds from? How to you design weapons? How do you 
construct an AI engine? How do you do all of this with a few people in 
their spare time?? It boggles the mind...
