Hi Dark,
Ah..I just listened to these podcasts. Shall I say they were
interesting although I think you flipped out too much over the word
podcast. It was funny if a bit ludicrous. I was hoping for something a
bit more serious minded for Audyssey. :D
Cheers!

Hi Bryan,
While I understand someone's concern usually a good spell checker will
accept both spellings for a word. For instance, ambiance can be
spelled a m b I a n c e or a m b I e n c e, and LibreOffice will
accept both without complaint. So I don't know that Americanizing

Hi Dark,
Point well taken. Obviously, Audyssey has always been primarily
concerned with games for the blind and low vision, and that will
remain our primary focus. Really, what I said earlier was a throw away

Hi Charles,
Well, yes, but I think Dark's point was that the author's rough draft
should attempt to be spell checked and proofread for errors before

Ah, I see. Lol. That's a pitty, since there's a particular piece of music I
wish I could find. It's used during frames and like all other pieces, it can
be heard from the left ear. Sometimes, when it comes randomly on a frame, I

Eleni,
The sounds of the Ten Pin game are hiding on purpose so people couldn't find

Hi. I'm wondering if there is a way to hear the sounds of the game in mp3 or

Actually charlse, for editing articles for academic publication at least, I
can tell you for certain that they don't!
Editers are responsable for length, content, suggestions of alterations, but
spelling and grammar is held to be the responsability of the author, as is
layout and references.
The only way I could see it being redistributed would be if the logo were
cut out and a new one inserted after it were made. The only reason I want
the recording is for posterity.

Hi Dark,
That's precisely what I am talking about. Having a page where people
can look up largely universally accessible games, or stating in a
review that game x is almost universally accessible. That is basically
all I was getting at to begin with.
Cheers!

Hi Dark,
Ah, that makes sense, and I agree that the person submitting the piece
should do his or her best to spell check and proofread the document
before submitting it to the editor for final editing and inclusion in
a publication.

Hi Tom.
Well if in effect what we're saying is that textual games such as
gamebooks, brouser games etc are accessible to anyone with an alternative to
read print even if they cannot hear, why not just have a page somewhere on
the site saying as much or note it in appropriate reviews of games.
I don't see why we couldn't do that! :)

Hi Dark,
Definitely true. No game in the universe is 100% accessible to
everyone else in the world. It can be something as simple as the menus
and status messages being in a different language, or something more
complex like an audio game being accessible to a blind player but not
a deaf one. Ther
