The editors at gaming site Kotaku seem pretty impressed with video of a gamer with a disability playing Modern Warfare 2 quite skillfully even though his fingers are paralyzed. His ability to use a standard game controller despite his limited range of motion is commendable, but I’m not sure it warrants this gushy remark from the editor:
Faced with a similar setback I honestly wonder if I would have it in me to do the same. But Iain’s resolve to continue enjoying all the things in life that have made him happy, before and after his accident, is as touching as it is admirable.
I play World of Warcraft with my head and a twitching thumb, but I don’t expect anyone to get all misty-eyed about it. At least, not until my priest hits level 80. I might have a little cry myself when that happens.
