Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.

If you plan on writing a game in C++, make sure you LEARN it and learn it well, not half-assed. I recommend that you learn how to use the standard library as well. If your target platform is Windows, then you can move onto the Win32 API (at least the basics). After that, you can go either OpenGL or DirectX (DirectDraw/Direct3D/DirectGraphics) for the graphics. Input, audio, and networking can be handled in different ways with either Win32 or DirectX. But AI and 3D are things you'll have to research separately.

Good luck!
