Comments are added in by using REM right?

Well, REM still works, but most people just use the single quote ' since it is faster to type and can be used to comment at the end of code lines.

doesnt rem stand for rapid eye movement i learned that in a book about dreaming

In VB it stands for "remove".

Visual basic is a great language if you know what you are doing. If you can control direct X you can make some fantastic 3D games with it. (There even is a tutorial from Microsoft on how to do this). I suggest using the console and learning it as it is important if you want things to happen in the background away from your main application.

it's me again!
try learning Visual C# with XNA Game Studio. Windows Forms Apps are TERRIBLE (trust me, I've tried) at making games. Transparency is not good at all, and they have a nasty tendency to crash if you use Do While...Loop. Then again, it might be because I put an endless loop. FAIL to me. But seriously, try it, I just started making an Action-RPG in it, and i fell in love with it, it's easy to understand, though the syntax takes a bit of getting used to (nothing much, the easiest to remember is adding a semicolon( ; ) at the end of each statement).
For example:

Public Class AClass
     Public Function Initialize (ByVal input As Integer) As Integer
          Dim intA As Integer = input
          Return intA * 5
     End Sub
End Class

would become:

using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Random
{
     public class AClass
     {
          public int Initialize (int input)
          {
               int IntA = input;
               return intA * 5;
          }
     }
}

I agree here, C# is a great language, and when I dabbled in it, I found that it was quite similar to scratch in some ways, and with the XNA framework it makes making games all the more easier.
