Re: [Audyssey] Top ten ways to get mainstream game accessibility
Some of Phil's suggestions sounded very serious; some of them, I hope, were supposed to be jokes. With that in mind I propose my own step-by-step guide for making mainstream games accessible in the current environment/market. Feel free to take it as seriously as you like, and definitely send audio/video. 1. Locate a large concrete/brick wall. This may be the side of a commercial building or it may be a retaining wall. The Russian stage from Street Fighter II is also acceptable. Don't think too hard about it, as rather than location, the wall is the important part. 2. before carrying on with the plan, insure that your head is entirely free from cover. The more zealous of you may wish to shave your scalp to insure maximum ... um ... impact. Feel free to be artistic! You may be inspired to tattoo your skull with phrases such as 1up for accessibility or Game inaccessibility? FATALITY! If you must wear a head covering, the only permissible article is Mario's red hat. 3. Stand several feet back from the wall in question. If you are athletic, you may wish to give yourself more running room. 4. Approach the wall at a high rate of speed, making sure to lower your head as you reach your destination. It is important to note that no effort must be made to halt your progress before a collision occurs. Again, feel free to be artistic. Scream the theme to Mario Brothers as you approach. Make the sound of Sonic the hedgehog powering up for his sprint. Perform a Megaman style slide into the wall. 5. Repeat until you are convinced you have made mainstream games accessible. You are permitted to use as many continues as you deem appropriate. Good luck to everyone out there!

Re: [Audyssey] Top ten ways to get mainstream game accessibility
haha, good effort! If the mainstream gaming industry is anything like what us musos have to put up with though, most executives have probably got a dusty old SNES somewhere at home and it's their kids who are the real gamers. Now, before you think it, I'd never sanction cruelty to children. Short of that, seems to me our next best option would be to temporarily blind at least 50% of each major business's programmers, leaving enough to still maintain graphics for the afore mentioned kids, with the rest of the programmers having to adapt to what makes sense for us and most importantly, what they'd then want to play. The way in would be to infiltrate the canteens of each business with a highly trained ruthlessly efficient lunchtime ninja type who's sympathetic to our cause. They can hover under cover, working out who codes what and who amongst those coders thinks innovatively enough to meet the terrifying standards of the members of the audyssey email list. When the time is right, and every major games manufacturer is unknowingly sussed out, we pounce. Our canteen crew strike in the dead of night, switching a drink here and there, re-labeling this and that. Come noon next day, programmers are drinking blindness in a bottle, or munching blind bars for lunch. Boom! Job done! PS: no actual developers have been harmed during the dreaming up of this slightly unhinged idea, at least not yet. Volunteers welcome though. PPS: any cynics reading this thinking oh, but they'd just sack the blinded workforce and hire new coders, don't, I was enjoying myself!

You forgot some of these... 1. Kidnap Tinker Bell and rub her magic dust all over the mainstream game companies toilets so that none of the employees can use the bathroom. 2. Wish upon a star, make a birthday wish while blowing out candles, knock three times on mahogany, rub oil lamps, enslave a geni, use the force, cross our fingers and our eyes, and stick a broken tooth under our pillow in order to cause mainstream game companies to forget about making money, and make accessible games because they want to make people happy. 3. Get all the blind people in the world to collectively hold our breaths until we pass out, or until the mainstream game companies agree to make accessible games. 4. Boycott all stores that sell mainstream video game consoles, mainstream video games, mainstream video game accessories, and mainstream game magazines not to mention any mainstream game paraphenalia even remotely associated with mainstream game companies. 5. Get a blind accessible video game lover elected as president, and have him or her declare martial law until at least fifty percent of all video games created are accessible. 6. Go to the north pole, and force Santa Claus and his pudgy hot chocolate loving elves to make accessible video games...or else rudolph gets a visit from Tony Verduchi the blind hitman. 7 Put subconscious messages thru hypnosis in all films, TV shows, and Music MP3's that will make the board of directers from the mainstream game companies believe that they Must make Accessible video games. 8. Hold a GameAid concert where all the famous talent of today sing a song together to promote the creation of games for the blind. 9.Grab a towel, drink a beer, and Hitch hike onto a Vogan space ship and travel to a galaxy far far away where aliens treat their blind persons with respect by making games accessible for them...under penelty of death. 10.
