Java, C++ or Flash if you're going to make games.
C++ gives you the power, and will make you efficient, but there's a LOT of subsystems to learn.
Java teaches you Object Oriented Programming, is easy to set up, and hides all the background stuff. But it's sloooow.
Flash...works, pretty much anywhere.
And follow Sqrl's post in terms of what you should try to program. Each step will teach you a little more about syntax, code design, and software engineering.
And for the love of criminy, COMMENT YOUR CODE!!!!!111!!!one
There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
