Learning how to program

Hey, I'm sure you get plenty of these threads and hate them to bits, but, here goes anyway.

I want to learn how to program, and end up in something like videogame development eventually, so, how do I get there?

There are so many different languages, and so many tutorials around I don't really know where to start.

Thanks for shitting up this thread with copy-pasta in advance.

I know nothing of programming, but I would love to learn.
Here is what my naive approach would be, which I assume would take about 6-7 months of study.

I would first learn the fundamentals on a bare-bones *nix system like Debian or possibly FreeBSD, using an editor like Vim, and the GCC.
[Fundamentals]
Basic C programming
Basic C data structures

Advanced Unix Programming
Assembly
Computer Architecture and Design

DNS & BIND
TCP & IP
Unix Network Programming

HTML/XML
Apache
MySQL
1 scripting language: PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python, Lua, etc...

Visual Studio (C++)
ASP.net
Ajax

Along the way I would learn about GNU make, CVS, Digital Logic, the Windows Registry, and fully understand a text on Discrete Mathematics.

Some projects along the way might include:
an imageboard
an instant messenger / irc client
a game
a device driver

Professional programmers please feel free to laugh, yet modify and correct.
