I really don't think they should jump on this guy...First off you want to be careful with who you put in the spotlight
I think your heart might be in the right place (or not) but it probably isn't the best of routes. You really have to tread lightly in these topics.

That's really awesome, and I'm extremely happy that this worked out. It'll be a big help for all of the other handicapped gamers out there.
call me inspired right now. Also, I'm going to take credit vicariously cause the guy that helped him is from MN. He also (if I remember right) helped another kid who likes pc shooters, designed him an apparatus to help him out with that.
@_@ Wow.
When I was 12 years old my father had a stroke, and I've always wondered how I could still play a video game with him. Nintendo Power had a similar article years ago. The user rigged up a voice recognizer along with an analog stick that the kid controlled with his chin. (mind you I believe this was in the NES days, so your average game only had 2 buttons, 4 at most). I'm really impressed. Overcoming something like this and being able to play games must make this guy feel awesome. It made me a little happier inside to see that even a gamer who can't move his arms and legs too well is now set up to pwn some noobs!

this made my day when I saw this. Officially inspired and proud that gamers will over-come all obstacles, just to pwn n00bs. Keep gaming dude, you rock.
And special big thanks to the people that helped him out.

This guy is amazing, I've often thought that I could live with just about anything as long as I had my hands and eyes to play games..but this guys is an inpiration and makes me feel shame at all the things I take granted.
@MotoRobo:
You'd have to be ridiculously naive to think it'd make sense to make a commericial version of this, it'd be a massive money sink.
Anyway, kudos to the guy. It's one hell of an effort, I can only admire him.

It really makes me happy to see articles like this. I have the same condition as the guy in the video (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) and am an avid gamer. I have to look around for alternative controllers for my gaming. Analogue triggers are too hard for me to push, for example.
I'm also familiar with Broadened Horizons and have been looking in to setups like this for myself when my disease inevitably worsens.
Awesome article. Thanks for posting this.
