PliGame: Pliant & SDL

I like these. They are popular game development sites.
http://www.gamedev.net/ - general info
http://nehe.gamedev.net/ - openGL tutorials
http://www.pygame.org/ - Pygame site : -)

Gamedev & NeHe have black and blue colors, with
a feeling of "cold" as in the cold of outer space. I
would love to make a space-station motif if I could.

Pyame.org on the other hand has a feeling of "warmth" and is not intimidating. I think its because of the rounded pygame lettering logo, and the cute manga-style cartoon snake holding a gamepad. Cartoons do a good job making things less threatening.

I guess thats it, that's pretty much all I can add.
