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

Welcome to RomU ;D

 

Welcome to romulation jukesy92.


My name is Mahogany Rush Steve, the Mahogany Rush bit is the name of my favourite band, which is fronted by Frank Marino who plays lead guitar.

If you like rock music you will probably like Frank as his style is the same as Jimi Hendrix, but over the 30 odd years he has been around his music has "evolved" but still seems to have the ghost of Hendrix in the background. He started out playing drums as a kid, experimented with LSD at an early age and ended up in hospital, where his only comfort was an old acoustic guitar, which he learnt to play to stop having "flashbacks".

If you are interested his website is www.mahoganyrush.com

I must say that at the age of 56 I am into playing Nintendo DS games even though I am not that good, I just couldn't imagine how I'd cope with no eyesight.

It has totally blown my mind that you can cope with it, keep on rocking my friend.

 

Name's Dedboy. Well actually it's Dan, whatever you choose to call me.

One of the few people I can trust in this world, lost his vision at age six, to a retinal disease.

It takes strong people to make strong people. Welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay, and while we see with our eyes, you see with your heart and mind.

 

Hi all,
I'm sorry I haven't been active these last few days, I've been busy what with new year's eve and all that. There was snow here in England yesterday and me and my family had a couple of snowball fights, as well as building a snowman. Just to let you all know, I can read out usernames, but I like the way that you are posting pronounciations of the names, which is quite interesting and useful.
This may surprise you, but there are games out there that have on graphics, these can be found at www.audiogames.net, there's a dropdown list with games there. Some of you will no doubt recognise some of them, as not all of them are just games for the blind, for instance, Ogame makes an appearance. Audiogames are, in fact, not just games for the blind, they're for anyone interested. There are several demos of shareware audiogames there like troopanum 2 and pipe 2, there are classic versions of these at a lower price. There are free audiogames like sound rts and beta versions of the first audio rpg called entombed.
Well, this post is getting long, and if any of you do check out the site, don't forget to read the game manuals, sometimes called readme, sometimes called documentation, and in the case of entombed it's a wiki.

 

i was about to post saying how my mates little brother is a legend on PC and is blind but then realizing your name and screen name and that you play rock band i think that you are him.

do you live on the isle of wight and a brother named Dan?

 

yes, i do! oh my gosh, you gottabe kidding me! well well. this is a small world indeed! this is incredible. I go to a website, and end up finding someone who knows of me? Also, before I forget... Where can I find the rules? I really need to read them. Eventhough it'll probably be use common sence stuff, I still want to read them, to be sure and just in case there's stuff in there i didn't think of.

 

no need for the pm my name is in my user name, it's pete and i'm one of your brothers friends i'm sure he can tell you many horrible things about me.

i've been on this forum for years and i barely find people from the same country let alone someone that is a 5 minute walk from my house and some one i have met albeit years ago.

i've heard many things about you (all good so don't worry) and it still boggles my mind at the things you do but i will stop babbling now.

here is a link to the rules
https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=4313.0

or if it's easier go to announcements section then rules. not quite sure what you can do/sort of i guess "see" with you screen reader.

 

Thanks for the link Pete. I'll definitely check them out.
