Re: [Audyssey] using the keyboard in accessible games. presscontrol+down arrow to skip the disclaimer part.
Hi Nicol. Just let your sighted friends play Quake 4 or some other hard 3d shooter games. Say to them: "Don't smash the mouse when you die." Or beat them in a fighting game on the ps2 and say: "Don't smash the gamePad!" Best regards Søren.

I rather experience my fingers getting hurt when I'm playing such games (E.G. Tarzan Junior level 8 or the Classic Pipe demo). - Original Message - From: "Nicol Oosthuizen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 11:01 AM Subject: [Audyssey] using the keyboard in accessible games. presscontrol+down arrow to skip the disclaimer part.

I find it more often that sighted people sometimes doesn't understand blind people properly. The need to be educated how to understand and handle blind people. Something which really bothers me is that my mom thinks I'm wilfully breaking my keyboard. Sometimes when she visits me and I'm playing pipe2 and I'm hitting my control keys very fast to shoot the thugs, she will say: Be more carefull with your keyboard, son. Don't smack it. The more I try to explain to her that it's the way I play the game, the more she tells me: Its not necessary to smack the keyboard. Did you also experience it that sighted people think you are smacking the keys?What is the correct way of explaining this? I'm sure sighted people that plays games on a play station will also hit the joystick buttons hard if the enemies appears speedily. Sighted people need to understand that we are using our computers as play stations, to play games. If I'm in the middle of a battle especially with dark destroyer, I'm immersed into the game world. AT that stage I'm not thinking of it as keys on a keyboard that I'm hitting very hard, I'mimagining it as a gun I fire forcefully to kill the enemies more efficient. When I type a document for example then its wise not to hit the keys too hard, but in a game its something different. How can I explain this to sighted people that think I'm trying to break my keyboard? ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] using the keyboard in accessible games. presscontrol+down arrow to skip the disclaimer part.
hehehe, don't worry about it. Playing games is a great way to break a keyboard, plus they're cheap, so you can just go buy a new one. I've already broken both wired Playstation 2 controllers smashing buttons in Mortal Kombat. I dropped my wireless, so that's busted too. Gonna need to buy more controllers. It's funny that they break now, since I've had them for like 5 years. - For an amazing video gaming site containing original soundtracks, game art, etc, go here. http://gh.ffshrine.org?r=16426 - Original Message - From: "Nicol Oosthuizen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 6:01 AM Subject: [Audyssey] using the keyboard in accessible games. presscontrol+down arrow to skip the disclaimer part. > > NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice > which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf > > > HI all > I've moved to a new boarding place so it will take a while for my > telephone line to be transferred so I have to use my work computer to > send posts for a while .
