The very best (read: easiest) posts are the ones that no amount of clever presentation could make any funnier -- in fact, any effort to do so could only fail miserably. Observe:
"My game was very sexual," Kanye West told Details magazine, describing a hack he attempted to make on a home computer as a child. "The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. You'd have to draw in and program every little step. It literally took me all night to do a step, 'cause the penis, y'know, had little feet and eyes."
... What's that, it's quittin' time at the blogging factory already? Well, thank you, Mr. West.

I dont think Kanye knows what he was doing, it sounds more like he was making a flip book.

yeah, this whole statement from Mr West screams 3rd grader trying to impress his peers by saying dirty words that could get him in trouble with adults.

Well judging from your now infamous avatar, I'd have to agree.

Oh, I thought you'd prefer a Princess Peach rape simulator. I guess I was wrong. :)

Gee... You'd never know from his "music" that he has such a pedantic and puerile mind.

He should have followed through. A penis based platformer would have made him a very rich man.

Talk about digital penises. Is penis plural peni?

No. You're thinking of octopUS > octopi, cactUS > cacti.

Actually since octopus is not a Latin word, the plural is actually octopuses.

Walking penis game? It sounds typical of the stuff my friends and I programmed on our C64s and Amigas when we were 12 years old. When I was growing up (and when Kanye West was growing up - we're almost the same age), all computers came with BASIC, and I think every boy who tinkered with a computer tried to recreate his favorite commercial game in BASIC. And we put penises in, because as adolescents, we thought penises were rude and funny!
So, nothing sounds unusual in Kanye West's story, except perhaps that he was a bit of a geek when he was 12 years old. But, his Daft Punk remix, and music video with Takashi Murakami's animation, already shows that he has a geeky side.
What I wonder - what do kids do now, since computers no longer come with BASIC? I guess some try Flash, but it seems like fewer kids today program as a hobby.

Yeah I read that he started making music first by making music for his rudimentary games he programmed. He also is a very good artist, he had an art scholarship and dropped out to pursue music. People act like because he's a rapper that he just couldn't be into programming or a geek. In fact like you stated before anyone that follows him knows he's a big anime nerd and tech geek.
After saying all that I think he flubbed when he said "Mario" and "Ghost"...LOL

Most just download the compailer for their programming language of choice. In my case Dev C++ to program in (You guessed it!) C++. If the person doesn't have the brain power to download and install a compailer there's a reason why they're not programming as a hobby!
P.S. sorry if this turns out as a double post.

I think you mean "compiler..."
If people really want to program, just do it in Linux. Kanye was 12 awhile ago; he was probably just messing around in BASIC.

Kanye West is nothing more than a nerd trying to be a superstar. Which he is. But he's also pretty goddamn nerdy, he just doesn't admit it.
