Hi yohandi.
I've actually heard a lot about him before, however my point is that his
ability doesn't have anything to do with being blind.
there have always been savants, people who are usually considdered autistic
but have a certain ability with music or mathematics, indeed I once read a
Earlier this year, Microsoft released Microsoft Flight, a reinvention of its
Flight Simulator games of the past. Now the company has reportedly cancelled
further development of the game and laid off around 35 staff members
involved in the production. Microsoft says that the game will still be
This stuff's all theoretical. no one knows exactly how savantism occurs, but
I certainly think autism has something to do with it, since most savants
show autism tendencies, or are severely autistic. no it doesn't have to do
with blindness, but there's clearly something there that enhances
Actually this isn't at all theoretical. People have had a significant
understanding of how to cause this phenomenon in non-savants for many years
now, with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Not only that, but this technique is being explored for use in the military to
drastically abbreviate
Hi all
I read on audiogames.net about the audio super Mario brothers done in bgt.

And how do you find it?
Is it possible to play the game without a braille display?

Responding directly to the trans-cranial attachments, it would be
tremendously addictive. There's been more than a little speculative

Hi, any advice on how I can get out of the same situation? I play a

getting bored. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hi Dakotah,
I couldn't agree with you more. Very well said indeed.
My only comment when it comes to Matrix style brain gaming is that I think
safety measures would be put in that would prevent most of the problems that
might arise with normal person usage.
For the disabled however, I can see
Hi Yohandy,
Yeah, this is really drifting off topic, but since you brought the
subject up I'd like to make a quick point as I think it is important.

There is an argument that those who have been blind for the
duration of their lives have a different perspective on blindness than
do those who have gotten used to being blind.
I agree, and this is also being proven of late in the sense of how much

Hi Dakotah and all,
Yes, virtual reality gaming would be extremely addictive. There have
been a number of science fiction books, movies, and television shows
that speculate how addictive it could be. One of the more interesting
examples is the Sliders episode where they end up on an alternative

Hi Al,
I think the answer lies in the person's mental stability. As I
mentioned in my prior post a well balanced, well adjusted, person
wouldn't get hooked on virtual reality gaming machines. Some people
who were born blind, for example, are probably very comfortable being
blind and a game that
Hi Cara,
Exactly my point. People seriously need to try enjoy the life they
have, deal with their problems in a mature and meaningful manner, and
not try and use games as a substitute for life. Games, although fun
and entertaining, are only a temporary pass time and nothing more. No
matter how
With inflation, its now 5 cents.

I wander why ms is doing this.
Are they trying to move to the new metro system?
If so I fear no disabled will have any fun with it.
Though its unusual for ms to pull out of anything.

Hi Shaun,
No. Metro has nothing to do with it. Metro is a new U.I. for Windows 8
which has no bearing on these particular games. In particular Project
Columbia which was for the XBox had nothing to do with Windows 8 and
Metro.
Cheers!

You can now assign your own supplies by creating a zombielink account online

You then log into your account via the settings menu in the Zombies Run app
