Can anyone point me to resources (or give me some pointers [HA! programming joke!]) on managing 2D navigation?

It really depends on what kind of terrain you are talking about and how your characters move. Can you give us a better idea?

If you are crazy about timing then here's Stepmania's Win32 GetMicrosecondsSinceStart()/InitTimer() etc... on google code search which is pretty cool. It also has implementations for many other platforms.

Can someone give me some practical tips on collision detection for 3D games?

Any links to tutorials, info, etc?

Find a good library. We use bullet.

I know this was from a couple pages ago, but the Blender 2.5 alpha's interface is really nice. Every command can be found through a type-to-search interface. So if you know you need to extrude, use the search to type "extrude" to find the shortcut key or just use the function from there. I don't know how stable it is, though. I like it much better than Maya, which I find to be as cryptic as anything else.
