Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey Magazine

2013-11-03 Thread shaun everiss

you are right there tom.
If you still think there is a need then I'll definate like to help edit it.
If we are serious in turning this magazine from old crappyness into 
the wow I had about 10 years ago we need a few things.
1.  A group of editers and such  that handle things, true a lot 
does  come from the forums on audiogames.net.
We also need people that will search the net for info and have enough 
time to do some of this.

Next we need some sort of format.
my idea is a html web page complete with headings as well as a text document.
We should also concidder electronic braille though I have no idea how 
to produce it.
We need an audio podcast,  not necessarily the entire magazine but 
reviews, dev news articles etc so the people we read have more than 
the speech synth  so to speak.

We need exposure to though I am not sure what to do there.
We need a bit more than blind games here.
mainstream gaes and the blind, maybe expand into technology for 
gamers, that is accessable or that has good writeups or things.

Things would include headsets, mice, joysticks and game pads.
os spaciffic especially with the xp-ers like myself moving to 7 and 8 
especially 8 where their security uac really means old games will 
have some issue.
we have the japanese games and other language games and then there 
are all the tablets iphones androids, I may end up on a nexus, 
because of price and such.

Then we need to keep it all going.
And we need to be constant.
we need also something in vms and vertual machine software.

I'm not saying that its easy, but we need to.
I can previde the following resources right now.
1.  a folder for submitions of stuff in dropbox maybe, if this gets 
off the ground and I have to pay for a subscription then I may have 
to impose a small fee maybe a buck well 50 cents to a dollar to keep 
things going if I ever need it though text and other stuff is small.
I am willing to try to set a site though to be honest, I am not made 
of cash but if I get a server in the future I may invest in it down the road.
I can make a wordpress blog for the mag though I know audyssey has a 
server so maybe thats ok.
I have time to do things as long as I get them a day in advance so I 
don't get lumped, holidays excluded though I will recieve submitions 
at any time ofcause real life things like house modifications and 
things will get in the way.

Reviewing games.
I can do this to maybe, at least have a hand at it though I never got 
my hd card in the new box ballenced right.

Right now I can previde the dropbox and a promise of more if I am able.
I have a job that requires a paypal and when I get a debit card 
depending on finances I could start donating 10-80 maybe 100 a month 
but that would be my limit.
Ofcause I can't really do this just with myself, I will eventually 
need more space, and other things some wf which I may be able to 
cover myself some of which I may need assistance with.
Then there are the games, if devs could give free coppies of games to 
be reviewed that would make it a bit better rather than buying games 
my resources are not limitless.
This excludes tablets and companies which has prices of 10 bucks or 
less but even so.
Any extra hardware ofcause will have to come from somewhere and with 
several family retiring in the next 2 years or less, funding is going 
to majorly reduce to a fraction of what i can currently afford.
If people want to keep the mag going I'll gladly try to take up the 
rope but its not lone ranger, I will need help more than me and my 
little resources to keep it going.

Hi Shaun,

I definitely think there is still a place for the Audyssey Magazine.
For one thing not everybody is on the Audyssey List or Audio Games
Forum. Many people who are busy with work, family, and other aspects
of day to day life don't necessarily want to spend all their time
browsing the forum or reading the list. For them the Audyssey Magazine
is a nice quarterly summary of what has been going on in our community
complete with news, reviews, and other things that may not be on the
list or the forum. Any failure in the Audyssey Magazine in any of
those areas is really the fault of the editor for not providing a
consistent schedule and possibly for not encouraging enough readers to
submit new content.

Cheers!

Darling Minions,
 
The time has finally come. I am back and I am hungrier 
than ever before. Hungry for millions of souls.

You on the other hand. You are dead. And the only way 
you can return to the other side is to fight. Fight hard. 




So gently open this thing you call “App Store” on the 
device you call “iPhone” or “iPad” and click your way to Papa Sangre II. 



All this work makes Papa very hungry. I need more souls 
to feast on.

As my very special minions, it is up to you to bring me 
the best of the best souls. Do so and you will be rewarded highly. A 
personalised ticket to freedom, signed by the lord of the underworld. Me. See 
here: www.papasangre.com/blog


 
Oh yes.

Everything you think, or thought, is real, is in fact 
nonsense.
It's all a game.

Have a very, very nice day.

Papa Sangre

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey Magazine

2013-11-03 Thread shaun everiss

Well you sertainly have hit  the zombie right there.
I know our local blind org has experimented with audiogames sertainly 
knows about them.
Would they publish an interesting mag, probably but I am not sure 
about the reviewing process.
We would need editers and people in all countries that had orgs at 
least it would use fewer resources.

Now how many would be interested would be the thing.
Especially if there are those that think the poor blindies can play 
asabat games or games that support something else and not the normal 
games probably wouldn't care.
At any rate we don't want the poor, super mentally mangled blind as 
the image for the magazine.
How many organisations have been excluded, I am not sure but with the 
attitude  going round I suggest enough to make a dent righ there.
I am also not a socal blogger, I have a twitter for viewing tweats 
and a wordpress but find it hard to write on either.

I wouldn't hold myself to post something per week, its really hard to do.
To be honest my local org is only just now investigating nvda as a 
reader that is not jaws only now.
How long the review processes will take and how long would it take to 
geet a rejection if ever it surfaced again.

And the coverage.
in the news released last month, the mention of nvda was 2 lines.
1 its being investigated
2.  it has some issues which jaws does not have.
and there you go.
no description of what the issues were nothing.
Its a pitty.
Immediately I wrote to the devs to solve this and was requested info.
A trackback found no one to talk to at all, and this worries me.
Its a flat rejection right there.
at least officially.
Ok, so I know now nvda eventually came out but no publication what so ever.
My suspician is the poor blind, super blind, mental blind, and stupid 
dumb helpless blind nut which has been growing thicker and thicker 
may be a quite hard nut to crack and will need a godly sized hammer 
to smash if it can ever be smashed.

Yes its todays world but the old habbits still exist in some shape or form.
I am not confordent that anyone will change without rocking the 
blindy boat unless there is a reason and sertainly nothing big.

I am not saying don't try but still.
The next we can do is try to get with magazine distributers themselves.
Now a spaciffic blindness mag has no market value I tried to get a 
mag I read blind use.

So we would our mag as a section of a mag if we ever got it going.
Now that may not happen either.
We would need someone in each contry to represent us at events and such.
But mainstream events who would play a blindy games when there is graphics.
Blind games are after all crap to sighted, maybe not all but enough 
that it would not make it a worthwhile thing at least not without 
some major something.

And it all comes to cash to.
I don't think any of us has millions of dollars, the sighted on here 
may have more resource.
But us poor blindies really don't all have work and may be dependant 
on handouts and schemes.
In fact if I did not live at home I probably wouldn't have resources 
to even go online!

At least not broadband.
The abismal fact is we need a large ammount of capital to even start 
sinking this no matter the running costs of this.

That is if we want to expand.
We can expand right now but its going to be different.
1.  I hate facebook and twitter but someone not me well ok if no one 
else will do it I will, needs to be able to stay online 24/7 and 
handle the mag on social media.

That is hard enough.
we need more forums than the audiogames forum.
game devs need to have the magazine on all their networks.
We need to put the mag to as many places online at once and as quick 
and as regular as we can.

That may trickle down, but its not garanteed to be honest.
Next we need to contact orgs to see if they will even carry the mag 
as an interest and thats it or at least link to it.

That may get a responce especially with libraries going digital.
The distribution with organisations is another step, but if they approved that.
there are blind consumer organisations courses, etc, there is 
potentual for  distribution right there if we could get that far.
Now thats fine and good, but we need to  get the mag outside the 
blindness community if we are able to make a dent.
the web distribution should be easy enough the rest will be the 
problem and even then.

Next we need the media.
Thats good and bad.
We need coverage constantly or at regular intivals online on news 
articles on on broadcasts.
We do not need the poor helpless blind playing games by asabat and 
jaws, yuck yuck yuck!!!

We need power.
large power!
How to get it is the issue.
If we pulled all resources, I wander how much we could put in if we 
really thought about it.
maybe we could spread this to the forums on audiogames.net, that 
would open up a few more people as I said before.
However the disabled really have no resources thats why we are 
disabled, most of the cash a lot of us get is from normals so normals
