Re: [Audyssey] Q9 and cracks
Yes, it would be cool if I could have my game installed on both too, as I take my netbook with me on trips and stuff and it would be nice to play there as well.

As I have both a laptop and desktop, I personally like having audio games installed on both. There are periods, sometimes up to weeks at a time, when I can't get to my desktop at all. If the internet registration would be similar to Vip gameszones, which only allows the user one registered copy of the game at one time, - I'd myself be against that for this reason. Ultimately, there will always be cracked versions of games out there whatever security you put on them, and sad people who think saving a few extra quid is more important than supporting developers to keep developing, however letting them ruin the situation for the rest of us is imho not a good thing.

As expected, there are quite a few user keys for Q9 floating around as I am only using a name/key registration system. Now, my question is; is it the best way to do things, or should I adopt an Internet unlocking strategy? The product ID/key approach is out of the question as regenerating keys for people can become quite a nightmare, and so the only option left for me is to make it check the registration data online. This of course forces the user to have an active Internet connection at the time of registration, but I think most people do these days. So, should I keep the registration system as it is or change it for all my future products to be Internet based?

Re: [Audyssey] Visually impaired gamer sues Sony Online.
While I, like everyone else, would love the idea of having every single game accessible in the future, it will not happen. Think about how costly this would be, development would raise the price of a game to probably double what it is now. And to an extent I could understand that the sighted gamers will hit the roof when they are forced to pay outrageous prices for content they would never need or use. Again, I would love to see this happen, nut chances are very very slim that this is happening. We are too few in numbers really to be a target customer for those games. The only thing I can see happening is maybe them adding reading out loud in all menus and stuff so that it is easier to navigate. This should be easy to do and would not really cost more, I assume. They already have subtitles for hearing impaired gamers but the adjustments for that group are so much easier anyway, because you do not have to change the game itself at all. chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 5:50 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Visually impaired gamer sues Sony Online. Hi Chrissy, Weather it works or not I think the main point of this lawsuit should be to make Sony and some of these major companies aware that accessible mainstream video games are possible, and that we would like them to take us seriously as a group interested in purchasing their video games. It is important to remember these companies, Sony in this case, repeatedly ignores requests for accessibility features, and won't even give a person a reasonable response when asked about accessibility. Here is a case in point. Back when the Play Station III was coming out I wrote them asking about possible accessibility features. I gave various suggestions in which they could improve the platform, improve accessibility, etc. However, the only response I got back was something to the effect thank you for your suggestions, but Sony can not endorse or accept new ideas for game titles, or improvements for existing game titles. I can't remember the reply word for word, but it was pretty clear they hadn't even read my e-mail.Even if they had it looked like something drafted by a team of lawyers to serve as a one size fits all type of canned answer they send everybody. Indeed I sent a few more e-mails and got basically the same message multiple times sent out by a different customer service rep. So what are we suppose to do to get these peoples attention? The bottom line is Sony, and probably various other companies, have customer service reps --- low level peons --- to basically tell the average Joe Smith to take a hike. So It is very doubtful anyone with any real authority saw my message, and I am assuming this person who is suing Sony got the exact same treatment. The first thing the Sony movers and shakers probably knew of this is when they got hit with the lawsuit, and that is because they hired peons to stone wall anyone who has a serious suggestion or complaint about their products. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] tekken versus Mortal Kombat
I have played both too and I agree with the observatiopns made. Also mortal kombat, when it first came out was always about the visuals, blood and gore factor more so than tekken. While a good game nevertheless, I think MK sold very good because it was fun, but even more so because it had those gory fatality moves with lots of blood and stuff, which at the time was not seen too often in videogames.I remember when the first installment of MK came out, I had still vision, and I was amazed about the deadly combat with ripped off heads and stuff you could do. Overall I think tekken is more about studying the opponent and his or her weak spots and then try to beat them with lots of training. MK to me, was always more button mashing than really trying to get the right combos at the right time. chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Clement Chou Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 8:47 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] tekken versus Mortal Kombat Thank you!

MK on the other hand, well, a bunch of ninjas who are really not ninjas and a force from outworld that tries to take over Earth by winning/cheating the tourni...and from there it just gets lamer and lamer by each new plot... Also Tekken has more likeable designs...android/cyborgs, martial artists of all types, street punks (I'm sorry, but no matter what they say, Paul Phoenix is still a street punk rofl), and heck, dinosaur? lol As far as gameplay go, I never did get into the MK much, so can't make a fair comparison, but I can honestly say that for me, there is probably not many fighting games that can rival Tekken's style of play. Even though I prefer Soul Calibur over Tekken, that's just cause of my love of swords and what-you-have-it, and nothing really because of gameplay. And even then, if we go by a point system, I'd still rank Tekken over SC. Also, the tekken fighters are much more realistic than the MK ones- another point to Tekken in my book. That said, I think MK probably has more playability value to some people just because it got several bonus things like animality and fatality moves- not to mention several versions of each.

Although Mortal Kombat is fun, it's the type of fun that lasts for a couple hours. The gameplay engine isn't that deep when you think about it. Sure characters have combos and special moves, but there's not too much to learn. You learn how to do combos and special moves and how to block. That's all you need to do to play MK. Tekken? It seems to me to be a whole different story. You have to learn combos as well, yes. But you also need to learn the moves you can do while you're crouching, while your character is standing up, positions, etc. Other reasons... tekken has better

A few years ago after I got married my wife tried that crap on me, and I stood up to it and told her how things were going to be. You see she grew up in a very strict Christian fundamentalist church, at the time she and I met she had walked away from that, but after we got married she got back into that way of thinking.She decided on her own to purify our home by tossing out all of my music cds, which she didn't like, decided unilaterally to throw away any dvds that were not Godly, etc. I flat out told her not only was she going to go out and get them out of the trash and put them back where they were I made it clear if she ever did something like that again I'd kick her butt to the curb so fast she wouldn't know what hit her, and don't let the door hit her on the butt on the way out. Let's just say she got the message real quick that I wasn't going to sit back while she shoved her religion down my throat and control me like a puppet.

Re: [Audyssey] soul calibur - broken destiny
I just got this game for psp today. It is a fighting game with martial arts stuff and so forth. Pretty cool. Soul calibur already came out with several releases in the past for different consoles but this is the first time for a psp release. It is very similar with tekken., so if anyone ever played that one on psp you will feel right at home with soul calibur. You can also play as kratos form the god of war series now! I have had some help to try and familiarize myself with the menus and all and can now work this pretty good myself. I like the handling and the sounds are cool. Dialogues in story mode are spoken too. chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] soul calibur - broken destiny
Yes all of them are pretty good. Have not had them on playstation 2 but tried them at a friends house once.right now I am playing the versus mode and made it to stage 4. Stage 4 is still when I get the daylihts beaten out of me. But I will get better soon, I am sure lol I have soul calibur for ps3 also. Also have fight night round 4 new for ps3. It used to have only joystick support for punches but they have since come out with a patch to also choose button layout for punches. This choice seems to work better for me so far. And, I am also getting on peoples nerves right now with drums for beatles rockband lol. I like the guitar hero series as well but found that it is easier to get into the rrockband beatles game since it is easier to play if you start on easy than easy on guitar hero. Therefore the learning curve seems a lot less stressful and with fast improvement noticable. I play drums as well as guitar on both games of this series.

Re: [Audyssey] final fantasy
It is actually more a role playing game. You can strengthen your charcater by gaining experience from combat as well as items you find along the way of your quest.The hard part on some games is when they are three dimensional and you don't quite know where you are going or need to go to get on with the quest. I am not a big role playing game fan, so never really got into the series. I would compare it to the zelda series in a lot of ways. There is quite a bit of exploring puzzle soving as well as fightiing.

Re: [Audyssey] My Thoughts: Re: the Jehovah's witnesses viewpoint on gaming
The incredibly stupid part is also that usually the ones condemning video games are the ones who have nebver even played a single one of those games themselves. Bigottry comes with a lot of prejudice, be it games or against other minority people. It is probably best to just ignore such attempts and not give it acknowledgement by even bother discussing them. That just makes them think one is taking them seriously. chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Munawar Bijani Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 2:44 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] My Thoughts: Re: the Jehovah's witnesses viewpoint on gaming Hi, The articles appeared to have no credible information at all; from start to finish, they kept naming one youth who said this or that. Very rarely did they mention names, and to me that's suspicious as far as their content and research is concerned. Further, they explained their arguments by asking questions. For instance, they ask Could not such games cultivate an unhealthy curiosity about demonic forces? Does this question really prove anything? My answer to that is, no. Sure, some may argue that those types of questions get you to think, but the way I see things, there is no point in asking a rhetorical question if you will not answer it. I see their findings as a bunch of logical fallacies, saying things like If x represents y, then can't Y be harmful for the child? Maybe if they had more credible information instead of as one youth put it, I would be more open to their articles. For now, though, I have dismissed it as an attempt of so-called religious fundamentalism trying to destroy monotheism again. The authors commit an obvious fallacy when they mention the Bible's viewpoint on magic, and then state that games are teaching magic today. In a game, you are not taught how to wave a wand, concentrate your thoughts, go in to a state of meditation, curse people, etc. All you do is press buttons. If the power goes out, well, there goes your little magic trick. Why do the same people who condemn such games say it is okay to play online poker as long as you are not playing for money? Forget about magic, and focus on condemning gambling first--which is a much more realistic issue. I agree that certain types of games are not suited for children, but that has nothing to do with the Christian viewpoint--anyone, anywhere, can tell you that much. Instead of saying that is what a good faithful Christian believes the statement would be more correct if it said that is what anyone in their right mind believes. Munawar A.

A lot of it comes down to harmless fantacy or roll playing on the part of the gamer. In real life I would never beat the crap out of somebody because I was angry at them, perform a spinal rip, or chop their head off. However, afgter having an extremely stressful day or big argument with my wife I can take my frustration out in a game like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. There I can beat the living crap out of anyone and anything, and nobody gets hurt for real. I wonder what some of these Christians thinks about stress management. When I first lost my sight I was very angry all the time and one of the stress management counselors suggested I take an old pillow and beat on it. That's what society might consider violent behavior, but it is controlled violent behavior. My intention is not to hurt anyone, but relieve my anger by acting out my stress and rage in a way that comes out naturally. I've got a choice. I can put on a set of boxing gloves and let loose on a punching bag, or I can go to town on a living person like my wife. Anyone in their right mind would say use the punching bag.

I'm very curious. How did the arcade machines in shops work like? What games could you play on such an arcade machine? Could you play pack man? How many money did you have to throw into such a machine to play and then for how long could you then play? I have asked my mom, when she was a kid if they had arcade machines in their days. My mom says in her child days they didn't had such things, they played outside, making their own toys. When I went with my parents to buy groceries when I was a kid, we walked past game machines but I do not know wich games they offered. Do you still get these arcade machines in American shops today? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] mainstream game accessibility
The unfortunate truth is, that I doubt that mainstream games will ever support accessibilty to blind gamers. There is simply no money to be made here. The number of blind people who would buy such games is way too small to justify the effort for them. Video games are developed and played for the most part, by sighted people, that is what they work on. Even if every one of us would sign to buy every new release out there it would still not be profitable for them in ages. It is a lot less work and stuff to make games accesible for people who are deaf as all it takes is subtitling the games in the dialogues, so that is being done in most mainstream games already. To make us able to fully enjoy the game you'd basically have to rewrite it. So even if some dedicated blind games developer would start to convert such a game, the licensing would be tremendous amounts of money to be paid to the original developer. chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro
I think all the aforementioned consoles have something good to offer. Wii is more family oriented in their games while playstation consoles are traditionally more 'hardcore' gamer oriented, with more shooters and racing games available. Each has good games, so it is primarily a matter of what type of games appeal more to the potential buyer. As far as accessibility most games have some barriers for us blind gamers, but I do play some fighting games on ps3 a lot, and gotten pretty good at it. The hard part in video games is to always memorize the menu set ups and stuff when there is no audible feedback to let you know where you are at.

Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro
The wii should be connected to the tv and then of course the ac adapter for electricity your wall outlet for power. At least this is the way my ps3 works. After that you have to find the right av channel on your remote control also.

Wii is more family oriented in their games while playstation consoles are traditionally more 'hardcore' gamer oriented, with more shooters and racing games available. Each has good games, so it is primarily a matter of what type of games appeal more to the potential buyer. As far as accessibility most games have some barriers for us blind gamers, but I do play some fighting games on ps3 a lot, and gotten pretty good at it. The hard part in video games is to always memorize the menu set ups and stuff when there is no audible feedback to let you know where you are at. When I play ps3 I usually have some sighted person play me and they set up the game and stuff. chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro
Hi sal, Hope you get it figured out so you can play. It is really tricky because if you have no clue what is going on it is next to impossible to fully get oriented, as usually all set ups required to get into the games will have no really audible feedback to let you know what choices you made. Most times it is just sounds. One of the fighting games for ps3 gives you the name of the characters when you choose them, as they all have different weaknesses and strenghts. I end up playing the same character now always as I was able to figure out some good working combos for him. So maybe if you can get someone to first explain what is going on on the screen, it is a lot easier to try and memorize the layouts for each game. It would be awesome if someone would come up with some sort of jaws like screenreader that you could integrate into consoles. But I guess the market would be too small and such a reader would cost way too much. But it would be cool to see if more blind gamers would then try out and enjoy some mainstream videogames. I also have a psp with tekken and stuff to play on it. Happy gaming! chrissy -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of sal Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 11:17 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Nintendo wii and intro thanks for the help yeah looks like that is the thing on here also it dinged at me and that was about it. thanks again for the help Sal --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A new audiogame MP3 demo
I totally agree. All my mp3 music files for example are in 192 kb because then I will get a decent sound. 64kbs do sound really inferior in comparison, so yes, do them at least in 128. Harddrives are a lot bigger than what they used to be, I have one that is 500 gigs on my pc and 300 on my laptop, so I am not hurting for space really.

(Just thinking out loud on this one while waiting for my 2 chili cheese Cony hot-dogs to cool enough so that I can stuff myself.) --- In God we trust! - Original Message - From: Jim Kitchen j...@kitchensinc.net To: Thomas Ward Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 1:57 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mach 1 tts Hi Thomas, Yes, in the sample joystick source code that I learned from it shows two sets of x and y inputs for the joystick movement and for 10 or so buttons. I did put I guess I will call it joystick mapping in Puppy 1 and Pong. That is one of the large parts of code that I still need to do for Mach 1 tts.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
I play mostly in arcade mode, for reasons others stated as to get the hang of the game and not having to start all over all the time because I have extra extra lives. the idea of inflicting less damage to the player, when playing on easy difficulty, would be a good one I trhink. regards chrissy --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
