Re: a complain about playroom and its moderators! Andy,I like how direct you are. Its refreshing to see someone who will just say what comes to mind, especially as a christian. So as you are so direct, so shall I be.You are right. We can never allow ourselves to start conforming the word

My life of gaming: A closing chapter

My life of gaming: A closing chapter Hi there, everyoneIf this belongs in off topic, I apologize. I put it here because I will be discussing games a lot, as well as other things, but please move it if necessary.Most of you know me as bladestorm360. My name is Patrick Moen. First and

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter Hi Dark,Thanks for the recommendation. Ive actually read The Screwtape Letters, its a pretty good book. Ive read other christian fiction that says that gaming is not bad in and of itself, and I completely agree with that. Unfortunately, just like

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter Hi Ambro,I agree with you and thank you for your post. As I said, gaming itself isnt bad. God has told me, however, that its bad for me. It wasnt just my hobby, it was my god, my idle. Thus, I cant in good conscience, play anymore. Other christians

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter You are right, and that, precisely, is exactly what Im trying to do. As I said, this is not an attempt to judge any other gamers, or to make myself look better. This is simply because games were ruling my life, and Id rather replace them with God.

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter Dark, youre absolutely right. I am not judging games, or gamers, as a whole. Im simply sharing my experience. Im not even shunning the world in favor of going all in to my relationship with God. That is not what hes told us to do. He says to be in

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter Bryant, thank you for your post. As I said in my first post, I sort of had the door to God opened for me by mormon missionaries. I did not turn out mormon, however, because I believe the bible to be the complete and inspired word of God. I have

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter

Re: My life of gaming: A closing chapter Actually CX2, I have found that anything and everything about God is up for questioning. I often question my faith, which helps me grow closer to God when I find adequate answers for said questions. For a non-believer, you certainly have a good

Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people.

Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people. SLJ, I dont think I agree that if you want a high quality game, you have to pay. There are tons and tons of what I would call high quality japanese RPGs in the audiogames market, just not in english. So far, every one of

Re: You are stuck in the dungeon of despair! Here is an example of what I was talking about with flanging. You should be able to hear how the sound gets kind of more muffled toward the upper end of the flanging, and very open on the lower end. Its not exactly the same but this is close to what

Re: How many people have access to Flash?

Re: How many people have access to Flash? I have no problem with flash. Its just like any other programming language, accessible if you make it that way. Flash does not need to die, what needs to happen is that more developers need to start using proper accessibility tools. Its possible to do

Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people. I believe thats a matter of personal opinion. Im happy with several of the console games Ive played, such as BlazBlue, Dragon Warrior VII and Dragon Quest VIII (with sighted help), and other games that have really good

Re: How many people have access to Flash?

Re: How many people have access to Flash? Oh yeah, there are definitely better alternatives. Just that this language seems to be one of the easiest for people to develop in, so to me, it seems like a solid starting point. As its becoming more accessible I dont really have a strong preference

Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people.

Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people. Mainstream publishers have us beat by miles simply because their market is far larger than the audiogames market. Id be surprised if we had more than 1 blind gamers, and they measure their sales in hundreds of

Re: How many people have access to Flash?

Re: help with downloading shadow rine I think the default keystroke is NVDA, shift, Y. Sorry about the confusion, I thought I had updated my guide to say shift, whereas I had written control before because thats what I changed my keystrokes to. You can also just select text on the site, like

Re: shadow rine

Re: shadow rine Actually, I think the comma, period and slash keys bring up quick text displays for those that can see if you hold them down. At least thats what the text indicates when you press them. So theyre useless for people using screen readers. Theyre just to quickly see your inventory,

Re: shadow rine As far as I remember, I was just pressing buttons to see what all of them did, and found those. They made a sound like a menu opening and closing, so I checked the clipboard and itd say status, items etc. So for some reason I tried holding them down and sure enough, that pauses

Re: A new mud, based of Game of thrones

Re: A new mud, based of Game of thrones Just to clarify some things here:This is a MUSH, not a MUD. This means that it has no coded systems, combat, questing, travelling, etc. Its strictly roleplay and writing. You could get the same effect just writing on a forum, for the most part. While I
