Playing Video Games Blind(folded)

Aaah
Thursday, March 04, 2010

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is particularly challenging. But without the use of one's eyes, the Water Temple and the Deku Tree are next to impossible.

This was the challenge Jordon Verner, a young Ontarian gamer, faced. Regardless of his blindness, the teenager was determined to best the caverns and dungeons of Hyrule. So where did he turn? The Internet, of course! Posting videos on Youtube, Jordon asked for help in completing the entire game -- help he never expected would come.

But assistance finally arrived in the form of a fellow Zelda fan from South Carolina, named Roy Williams. This is the story of one gamer helping another overcome a serious disability, and the move-by-move walkthrough they wrote together. Break out the tissues, because there's no shame in crying [via Geekologie].

Amazing story, and truly heartwarming. It's always a treat to see the community helping each other out this way.

Those guys, my friends, are Real Gamers. THAT is how gaming should be represented. THAT is what all those little racist juveniles on Modern Warfare 2 should strive to be. Games and Gamers are supposed to be a community, one that helps eachother and sticks together.

You know,it really warms me to always see young people putting forth effort to helping one another out,especially when it is common interests that bring together.It's something I have been trying to stress for years before I got to the age I am now.
