LOL I fail to see what I even said wrong.  He didn't give any instances where this game is absolutely not playable.  I mean should I apologize that I feel you guys could do a hell of a lot?  Wouldn't that be degrading to the blind community to lower my standards?  Just to let everyone know Brandon found several things in the crime scene level.  He'll probably find more the longer he plays but he had to stop to help me with the fed. 
 
I mean everything I've had Brandon try he's done.  I think I have pretty good judgement.  I just felt that Yohandy was trying to turn people off to this game and he shouldn't.  If he didn't mean it to come off that way then that's his deal and he should've admitted it was a misscommunication and let it go.  But instead he decided to backpedal and attack me and you know me Mike, I'm not gonna just stand there and take that crap.  I always look out for things that would interest you guys and if I don't get them out to you via Brandon, I'll post them on here. 
 
LOL All of this started from an awesome article about Zelda..  Wow can't anything be positive anymore?  Blind community gets exposure...people bitch..really cool audio game comes out..people bitch..mainstream game comes out that's playable with a little effort...people bitch.  Is effort really a four letter word? I see six.
