CastrO only has one working eye. It doesn't compare to your story, but it's the only gamer I know of with a disability.

Inspirational post! I kinda looked at the title and expected a joke, but I'm glad I was proven wrong!

Looking forward to see your gaming setup, I admit you've gotten me really curious! And ROFL @ your TL ID. Good stuff. XD

Great to see you're not letting anything stand in the way of what you want to do in life. Keep up that attitude and you're much better off than half the world already.

I am as well very curious to see your setup or anything that tells how you play!

Looking forward to it!

My friend (no where near a pro) but he is also disabled. He is paralyzed in his left arm. We used to play Battlefield 1942, and he would be on top almost all the time. He used his foot with a modified keyboard with some keys removed. But your story is very inspiring that you are qudrapeligic, Hope the best of luck to you

Somewhat relivent, but Ben Heck is a console modder who does all sorts of cool things like make a snes or n64 into a hand held portable game has done a few mods to create controllers that work for disabled people. I cant find any others but here is a xbox360 controller modded so that you can control it with only one hand. It was made for a service man who lost one arm/hand in iraq.

First of all it's 'quadriplegic' and secondly, he isn't quadriplegic, he's a quad amputee. That means his arms and legs were surgically removed. Quadriplegic people still have their limbs but are paralyzed.

This Nomad guy seems to have some interesting skills there. I've heard of artists using their mouth/lips or feet to paint, but this is news to me.

This is an awesome thread. Thanks for sharing your story with us here and giving others with disabilities the chance to come in here and share theirs. All I can say is keep at it; I can see you don't let anything slow you down, and that's exactly how it should be.

It's good to know people out there like you are living it up, despite the challenges they face.

No prob guys! Thank you for all the interest and support. Especially, thank you for the leads. I'm trying to figure out a way to take video of myself playing for you guys to see but using a web cam but I'm having trouble. I'll put it up as soon as I figure it out. Also, I'm meeting with my adviser here n the next few days to propose my idea so cross your fingers for me that it goes well! (Since I can't cross mine! hehe...)

Love this thread. As for the program you were looking to get into id say go for it. Someone was saying you should look into amputee replacement limb technology but this opportunity sounds less geared towards that and more towards your passions of which it seems gaming is one.

Considering the purely physical limitations that such disabilities as yours can cause im surprised there arent more people in your position who turn to gaming as a form of entertainment that's accessible to them. I would use the program you discussed to try and form a base of disabled gamers who try and make high level gaming a more accepted and easily accessible pastime for others with disabilities. This would not only be a fun and positive way to spend your time but it could also lead to future lucrative business opportunities like what the guy making those custom controllers was doing. Imagine a kind of special olympics for gamers? Just an idea but think big man. Skys the limit.
