I remember having a thought one day as a young kid while interacting with a DVD main menu (the kind that had clips from the movie playing in the background, and would play a specific clip depending on what menu you went in to).

"This is basically how video games work, there's a bunch of options you can choose from and depending on what you do it shows you something. Videogames are just DVD menus with way more options."

I grew up to not be a programmer.
