Hi, But what does memorizing a few buttons give us? Where's the enjoyment in justknowing that you press x button this many times, then press y button. There's no replay value there.

Hi Philip, Honestly, memorising a bunch of buttons is not a hard thing. Imagine 10 beliefs I had to memorise in RS, cause the others were using powerpoint. That is a lot more skillful too do than memorise a bunch of buttons. I mean, my LSA selected the slides, and I read out the beliefs out to the class, without even holding a brail paper. This is getting off topic though apart from the game part I was talking about, so I'll stop talking about RS and that sort of thing. BTW Philip, did you get my email regarding some of the sounds in tj? Please email me off list at the following address. muhamme...@googlemail.com Thankyou! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Bennefall" <phi...@blastbay.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming comunity. > Hi Yohandy, > > I pretty much feel the same way as a lot of other people on this list.
