Forums are of course old, but it's the idea of in-game radio that gets me. You could have this massive war game with citizens, you broadcast messages to your people, or you could have coverage of sports teams playing against each other, that step for me is a lovely touch and amazing, and the thing about podcasts, with radio you get the live dimension, people can skype you and give their views. Games are seriously becoming more social and interactive, friends meet each other and play together, like you can play Call Of Duty with your friend and make alliances with people all over the world, the possibilities are massive and so bril, but unfortunately we're left way behind in this. As someone else said, we're years behind, and unfortunately don't see us ever catching up, not because I'm pesimistic, but because even amongst ourselves, there are not many blind people interested in games for the blind. We're already small because we're blind, and we're smaller because even most blind people haven't heard of, or don't care about recreational gaming. Some sighted game players are so passionate that there was a story about a guy from China who wore an adult nappy because he didn't even want to be distracted by toilet breaks. I'm not saying we should do that!, what I am saying is that companies who make sighted games know that they'll sell loads, and really we're this absolutely tiny group of people! In the gaming universe, we're of absolute minimal significance. Ari
