It must be quite a change though? Having reporters knock at your door and heads of game developers emailing you?

How many emails per day do you noew receive? Hundreds? lol

The quality of human scum on the Steam forums astounds me. :mad:

Here's hoping their opinions don't rub off on the younger/more impressionable members of the gaming community. :(


On a lighter note, woo 39k+, rock on 50K for PAX.

Ive posted about that wolf bloke. I think he is just really confused with what was happening. Still a lot of what he said makes me mad tho.

even if he confused (i don't think so) he should not of said what he said. he's basicly saying all disabled people shouldn't game, we should sit and do nothing..

even if he thinks the games will be dumped down he still should not of said what he said.... it's not only him in this world.

Don't pay attention to SPUF, and I literally mean that.

SPUF is basically a 4chan board without anonymity, it's full mostly of idiots who feel more self entitled than anyone else. They say things just to get a rise out of other people and are just young children who haven't been out into the real world yet. You've got more support and more people who want to back you than these sad people ever will have in their entire lives, that's gotta mean something, right?

theres 2 issues that game companys need to sort. 1. is the remapping. 2. let the game be played with any device e.g controller or mouse. the example i gave before the fifa10 to fifa11, fifa 10 u could play with it with a controller or mouse, fifa11 u can only play it with a controller... why oh why remove the mouse controls if it was already in fifa10.

Blame microsoft and their "edict" that any game where the joypad is the natural controller can only be played on PC with a 360 pad...

Alas, I think it's partly due to the anonymity that descends upon some people who are disabled. By that I mean: you hardly see any wheelchair users (and so on) when you're out and about in town so people assume that there is not a lot of disabled people who live in the UK. When in actual fact something like 10,000,000 people living in the UK right now are disabled to some degree or other. TEN MILLION!

But we don't see them, because being at home is easier than going outside.

Having a disability can shrink your horizons. It is bloody hard, frustrating, annoying and difficult to be a wheelchair user in an able-bodied person's world. This is why gaming is such a great thing for people who stay at home more. (I'm writing this as a disabled person, too)

Having said that, much of the admiration for you Gareth is not really anything to do with your disability; it's down to the fact that your play style is simply fantastic - especially when most noobs can't play with their hands!

Are you sure 10,000,000? That's a little less than 1 in 5 people, which seems a gross overestimate. Also it's not like all registered disabled people are confined to wheelchairs or have obvious disabilities. You can have a bad back, be partially sighted, be partially deaf and still be registered disabled. You wouldn't know though, were you to look at anyone who was any of these on the street.

Hey Chuck, that is awsome :eek:

Consider adding a link to the petition in your sig mate ;)

BTW guys do you know how to colour a link in a sig to make it stand out?

I tried to wrap the URL in COLOR tags but it doesn't seem to work :(

I'm thinking the only way could be to create an image of the text and use it in the link unless anyone knows different?

TIA
 
I don't know how I missed this thread and just finished up reading all 1478 posts.

I am amazed and impressed with Gareth, and he's made me realise if he can achieve what he has, then anyone can.

I've signed the petition and would like to thank Gareth for his inspiration!

Thank you!
