He's reached a level of gaming many would hope for. To be able to base your movements based on sound rather than sight is a much more skillful ability. Kudos to him.

I used to try to play Marvel vs. Capcom with a blindfold.
It takes alot of patience and he's right about listening to sound cues.
I have alot of respect for Mr. Brice though,
he just kept trying without complaining or asking for help.
We could all take a lesson there.

Well, he did complain...He broke many controllers remember?

But this is pretty awesome...Someone should pay for him to go to a video-game tourney.

I think it would be interesting to see him play.

Oh, and [insert obligatory Tommy joke here].

Well tho they quote SoCal2 repeatedly, the screen as well and game descriptions point to Mortal Kombat. I have yet to play SC and see "video characters...decapitated, eviscerated and gutted without mercy".

Even when reporting a story with every bit of information in front of them, non-gamers screw it up.

I noticed that, too, Razer. Having played SC2, I wondered where all the blood, gore, and fatalities were coming from...
