Just a quick introduction from a member you might not have expected

Hi,
My name is Aaron, and I have just joined romulation. Below is my reason why.
Here is where the unexpected part comes in. I am totally blind. I use a screen reader which does what it says on the tin. It can not read websites programmed in flash but it can read near enough all other websites, which is to say, most of them.

I love the internet, but one thing that's sweeping nearly every website now ais a thing known as the captcha. For those who don't know, if you go onto a site and register, it usually asks you to enter a code. however, the code is in an image, which a screen reader just skips passed. Rom websites are no exception to this, and my latest resource has now joined the fray, so it's time to change. This is why I've signed up. I will definitely look around the forum from time to time, too. Feel free to send me a personal message, I'm sure my screen reader can handle it, but just don't fill it up with what I like to call "text talk", just make it more like a forum message.
Thanks in advance, and I'm glad to be a part of romulation.

 

Wow, that is a real surprise.

To be able to join in a forum is awesome enough for you ;D
Welcome to RomUlation, hope you enjoy your stay

 

WOW!

And this is one of thousands of reason's why we need to avoid text speech

Not sure if you can see emoticons though..so I sent a smily face.


Anyways welcome to romUlation , read the rules to the letter, and feel free to ask questions...


Speaking of which, what games do you play, not many of the games here are blind friendly, or those I know of.

 

......... Oh.

* meganova is shocked[/url]

*ahem*

Welcome and Enjoy the forum!!

 

He may not be able to see the fact you posted in red meganova.


Well yeah, meganova posted in red because he is shocked *insert Laugh Out Loud here

 

Hi all,
Thanks for the welcome! I'll give you all the scoop on what consoles i own and what I'm currently playing, and what I am about to play:
My main console at the moment is the playstation 3. One of my favourite game series is rock band, and for christmas I got the newest installment, known as lego rock band. I play the rock band games through memorisation. If there's some sort of gaming forum in here, i'll say a bit more in there. I also play the tekken series, soul calibur, mortal kombat, and some others. and you can't beat the classics like final fight, double dragon, streets of rage, and sonic the hedgehog. I could never get the hand of mario, I found sonic easier, but why that is I'll never know.

 

Hey Aaron! Welcome to RomU. : )

I hope you don't mind my asking, but were you born blind or did you become blind later in life? Sorry if it's a stupid question; it's just a bit confusing to me haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the games and the community here!

 

Hi,
I was born blind. Everyone thought I wouldn't make it, and they were worried, but luckily, I survived, and I'm glad I di. and if anyone is wondering, if there ever was a cure for it, i would not want my site back, not at this time. I have adapted to the world I know, in the ways I know. If i get my site back, I'll have to basically start from scratch. I'll have to learn colours, how to read and write, and other stuff, probably. Plus, would the brain really be able to handle it? What if it sends me into shock or something? I hope I'm not going off topic.

 

Woaw, You, are AWESOME!

This is a stupid question, but...
Have you ever played any Shooter games? If not, what kind of games do you play?
To be honest, I'm REALLY interested in you. *Grins maniacally"

 

Wow, that's a big surprise there. How do you listen to all the illiterates out there?

And... how do you play Rock Band? I'm curious about it

Oh and also, you know the captchas? Trust me, even if you have sight, it's annoying to have to always type them in. Anyways, good luck! Hope to hear more from you

 

That is amazing!!

I've heard of people using that captcha thing! what exactly are the functions of it?....sorry..anyways

Welcome to RomUlation!!

Hope you enjoy your stay and i'll see you around the forums hopefully!!

 

hi newbie. i'm got to apologise about the content of my posts the now...

also, the fact that you can play rockband is pretty amazing.

 

Hi all,
Wow, it's good to see more and more members welcoming me. This community must be rather large. To the user who asked about shooter games, it depends. When I had an old xbox I could play house of the dead 3, and lightgun style games, using the controler, as most of the time you could just shoot and the enemies get hit. But I can't play stuff like call of duty. The latest shooter game, if you can call it that, that I checked out is star trek DAC, although that's more of a retro asteroids style of game, which is slightly more playable, blast everything onscreen.
By the way, check the "gaming from a blindness perspective" in ther romline gamers section, because tomorrow, I'll upload a recording of me playing various ps3 games. Granted, there were some technical difficulties including my first ever ps3 crash, and guitar hero iii freazing on me for the first time, but aprat from that everything else went smoothly. Look out for that tomorrow.

 

...Wow.

Well, don't you have a program where your computer can detect enemies on shooter games?
I mean, for example, your computer will suddenly shout: "HOSTILE AT THREE O'CLOCK!"?
But, I guess there's no such thing as that, eh?

Anyway, I noticed that you don't know our usernames because we didn't typed it,

I'm Haseo!

Pronounced as Ha-Se-Yo. OK!?

 

... my name is gavilatius ( gavel ate e us) hello and I hope you have a great time here

 

Not at all trying to be rude but how come you're downloading roms if you cant even see what you're doing
when putting them on a emulator and what not
oh yeah and welcome

 

Hmm. That is pretty strange.
Playing games blind, do you think its more fun or less to not see whats going on?
For shooter games it seems a little more exciting to me, but whats your take on it all?

Anyways, welcome to RomUlation =]

Wow. That's all i can say. I am seriously impressed by the way you manage to keep enjoying the good things in life that quite frankly you shouldn't. Well enjoy the forums, my name is exor asin ex like ex-girlfriend and or.
