Gaming Rants and Raves

I just saw a really interesting piece done by the San Fransisco PBS affiliate on Disabled Gamers. I’ll embed the video below. I really wish I could find some solution for myself, there’s some really great games out that I just can’t play due to the bane of my gaming existence, trigger/shoulder buttons. Maybe I’ll seek help from the Electrical Engineering department at UW, perhaps someone there would be interested in such a project. The frustrating part is there’s an easy solution to many disabled gamer’s problem and that is for game devs to make it so you can remap the buttons completely to the user’s choosing. some games already do this, or go halfwa and provide bottom profiles, which doesn’t cut it. If I could map lesser used functions to buttons harder for me to push then I could play a lot more. Here’s the video.
