    We could say good things in this thread, but he would never be able to read them.

    Fuck the media.

    Those bold enough to challenge him weren't so lucky. One by one, while playing "Soul Caliber 2," their video characters were decapitated, eviscerated and gutted without mercy by Mellen's on-screen alter ego.


    I never knew Soul Caliber was so bloody.....idiots.



    on a lighter note, that's pretty impressive, based on audio cues alone.

    "When he does go to college, Mellen wants to study video game design."

    I can understand playing games, but how is he going to pull that one off (maybe a sound guy?).

    Still, very impressive!!

    Sonic, there are forays into haptic feedback and systems for the Blind. So Im sure the time he graduates there will be a sub section.

    I didn't want to say this originally, and this is not to take away from the blind gamer...good for him. Being a diehard fighting-gamer, SoulCalibur2 is very mash friendly....especially with a character like Maxi. I've beaten people without looking at the screen as well. Likewise with Eddy in Tekken3.
    I think it would be awesome if he got into game design. It may put a much needed stepback from purely visual improvements in gameplay.

    I also think it is good that he has fun playing games and I agree with oXYnary, it may become a subsection. The question is if ther market is there (probably then yes) and if he alone can really bring so much forward but it is a first step.
