Yes, but can he play Crysis?

 

[nebun]

so much wasted time, he could have done so many other things in this amount of time.

We could all say that, but then one person's wasted time is another's best time ever. Living life the way one wants is the best time ever. Do no harm and enjoy yourself while you can.

But how? the boss fight especially, is random. You need to "see" where to attack or where to roll to avoid getting damage etc. It's just ... how??

I'm not gonna lie.... I lol'd at that.

 

[zak_mckraken]

Wow... I don't know what to think. I can't but admire the thought, time and effort spent into this but, at the same time, was it really worth doing? Can't a blind man do a much more amazing achievement than following a computer-read script of 100 000 lines?

And, gameplay-wise, how can a script take enemy AI into account?

 

[grieve]

some people are sooo giving. Sometimes it makes me think i should donate some time or just be a better person... but i never do

he donated 2 years to this guy, for free.... impressive!

Nicest thing i ever did was NOT run that J-walker over. I suck!

I think there's something in my eye...

[citation][nom]nebun[/nom]so much wasted time, he could have done so many other things in this amount of time.[/citation]You know what? You're straightforwardly wrong in implying that has no value. I'll tell you why, 96% of people under the age of 18 play video games, and honestly this puts him in the mainstream. Where before he was excluded because of a disability, he's now managed a great feat. Simply being able to engage with others his age about the topic makes it worthwhile, some of the isolation caused by his disability will kind of fade. It's worth a lot.

Makes me wonder whether I should try doing something I feel impossible... well, actually, I do that regularly, it makes life more interesting!

In 2 years, he could've been a pro at Wii boxing.

AI? From what i can gather this is the original Legend of Zelda. Im pretty sure there was no "AI".

 

[nforce4max]

I congratulate him and his friends well done and just comes to show what being friends is all about.

Well, you had to know which way the Dodongos would turn now didn't? What about dodging fireballs?

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Wow. =) That's more then awesome.

 

[rhino13]

I'm gonna say that of all the amazing feets I've heard of blind folks acomplishing this one is the most elite.

You're the reason why words like "hater" and "asshole" were invented. Mind your own business.
