You really are a morbid person. Apparently you feel that any person of any handicap is clearly below you? Let me remind you of something dried up hippie, life is not about what you get out of it, but the journey in between.

Thanks for posting this interesting vid! I'm pleased to hear that there are people actively pursuing accessibility in video games. I'm not deaf, but thanks to my young adult years having been spent listening to some VERY good car stereos my hearing isn't particularly good anymore, and I definitely find captioning in games (and movies) to be helpful. As mentioned in the vid, the Half-Life games do a great job of implementing captioning!

This idea is really cool. :) I hope they come out with these great disability controllers. Disabled people have more time to play, so really the game industry is its own enemy not looking into this themselves. more time more play means more time to buy their games, right? makes sense to make the controllers.
