Making a game in C++

I want to start making a game in C++, but I have no idea where to start, and where to progress from there.

I know I'm going to get flamed, but it's worth a shot.

bullshit, the hardest part is making sure your game runs acceptably well on your wide variety of target systems, especially if you are starting your graphics from scratch (OpenGl or Direct3D) and want to use features such as shaders. Game logic is a piece of piss.
