Blind Gamer Defeats Ganon for the First Time

[Rorschach II]

Wow. That is really something. Hats off to you sir.

 

[Lim3]

Congrats

There's been a lot of discussion on The Escapist recently about what marks a person out as a 'hardcore gamer'. I'd like to think it's this kind of dedication to the task at hand (coupled with the immense satisfaction the victory brings) that would make someone just that.

The Escapist should get a medal struck for this kind of thing. 'For dedication to the gaming experience' or some such.

And on the cynical view it'd be good for The Escapist's media exposure.

The force is strong with this one...

... Wait. dammit wrong series, um...

... The triforce is strong with this one?

 

[Lord Beautiful]

It's rare that I use this word, but "epic" seems to be the only moderately accurate term for something this awesome. This man is a god.

 

[silver wolf009]

this remindes me of a blind girl who had 23 level 100 pokemon in silver. Anyway, this just shows dedication.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Awesome possum.

I don't think people realize how hard this must be.

Two words:

Water Temple

 

[Snowalker]

This is the kinda stuff that makes me have faith in humanity.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

That is dedication to an extreme level.

 

[xXxTheBeastxXx]

Wow...How hard must that have been? I mean...it's not voice-acted, meaning that...what do you do about text?

 

[Bloodeye]

Much respect.

 

[hansari]

Wow...Daredevil couldn't even pull that off, kudos.

I enjoyed reading this a great deal. I can empathize with them. I have one eye and I live with the reality that someda in my life I may very well be blind, either due to accident, or due to a degenerative disease in my family. I'm going to miss gaming if and when it happens.

 

[dmase]

When I saw this i thought they meant legally blind like he could see blur and if he sat really close to the tv he could kinda see a little. Totally blind though that is pretty amazing.

 

[Denamic]

Jesus, he'd be a top tier pwn machine if he weren't blind.
Over 9000 kudos.

 

[The Spectator]

He's a gaming god! I worship thee!

 

[Blindrooster]

good gosh. i can't imagine the patience and dedication that takes

 

[Generator]

That's incredibly impressive. I don't think I'd have the patience to do something like that. A text-based game like Ocarina would be especially difficult to complete without being able to see since you'd need someone physically there with you to tell you what the people are saying (if it's important, rather than the man in Castle Town giving a random Alice in Wonderland reference). Very, very cool.
