"It's full of Stars" Lol, honestly Che, if we want to consider the broadening of horizons, then consider the merits of a race. You go as fast as possible around and around and around and around and around again in a circle. Noone goes anywhere, and there is a chance you might blow up or crash and die as one tries to go around the circle faster than all the other people who are going around in a circle. I would have hoped that the human race had developed something more interesting by now...smile Just kidding man. My whole point about the mouse was that for a fighting game, it wouldn't really work all that well. Considering that I had already used a fighting game that utilized the mouse before when I could see, I found it to be not as effective or intuitive as just pushing some buttons or moving a stick or pad around. As for racing with a mouse, I don't think it would be that bad, but I would be the last person to ask about it since I could never understand the whole racing thing. I believe that the mouse can be effective in gaming for the blind and visually impaired, but I don't think it has to be implemented in every single game just because it is there. Well, that is my answer to life, the universe and video games which is right around 42.
