Modder Crafts One-Handed Controller For Disabled Brother

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

This made my day

Y'know, other than being put on probation - that also made my day.

 

[luvd1]

What a great idea.

And then the motion controls worked better than anything the Wii ever used, and Nintendo cried. Man, that was cool. What an awesome brother.

It's nice to see controller modding used for good and not for rapid fire in CoD.

 

[Carlston]

Disappointing...

No not the controller that is genius...

The fact people have been making handicapped controlls since the Atari and the major game companies never seem to support these designs or plan ahead to make them.

Serious even if it's a rare special order...it takes little resources from the big N and the like.

We should have these things on release day...

I would say that this is cute and heartwarming, but we all know that video games are evil and therefore this deed is evil. Let's spread some sarcasm folks.

 

[Baldry]

Awwww, that's both cool and heartwarming. HUGS AND/OR FISTBUMPS ALL AROUND!

Fisthugs? Not a good idea.

Isn't that holding hands?

And that's real inspirational! LOVE ALL ROUND!

This dude earns one of these for this. Its good to hear these types of stories about gamers rather than the usual doom and gloom stories we tend to get. Well done.

 

[Evilbunny]

What a good brother.

 

[Dfskelleton]

seriously, that's so nice of the guy, to do that for his brother.

Thats really sweet

Totally awesome. +500 karma points to Hasse for putting his considerable skills to use for such a worthy goal.

The fact people have been making handicapped controlls since the Atari and the major game companies never seem to support these designs or plan ahead to make them.

I'm gonna look at it as a market with an unmet need, and Hasse has proven that he has the skills to meet it. It would be awesome if someone with deep pockets fronted him some venture capital for him to design his own line of controllers for the disabled; he could probably make quite a bit of money and help lots of people out all at once.

Hey, anyone have Warren Buffett's number?

 

[Alandoril]

I really don't understand why major companies don't take that up and run with it.

The same with colour-codes in some games (like security locks and puzzles) never taking into account colour-blind players.

 

[AugustFall]

Heart warming and impressive as hell, well done sir.

 

[manythings]

I'd never go to that effort for my brother... douche...

Are you the douche or is he?

He is but then again I could be depending on what you think. It's like a really boring Rorschach.

 

[Primitive George]

Greatest brother ever.
