Hi, I came across your forum searching control schemes. I really like the community you have set-up here. I got polio from the vaccination when I was just an infant. I have no use of my legs and full use in my left hand and partial use in my right hand. Unfortunately most first person shooters require the R trigger to be use as the fire button. This has caused grief in some games that I wished to play. I mainly play games on my 360.


I think we need to give more praise to the guys at Valve, who have always had top-notch controller support. The Orange Box has fully mappable controls and it needs to become an industry standard. I'm sure this has been brought up many times before, but this seems like the most important battle we have.

My myspace can be found at www.myspace.com/aka_caleb. I also am starting my own webisodes of the sorts at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a98WiT8RT8s. I live in Memphis TN and work as a full-time firearms instructor. I use a power chair for mobility. I hope to hear from you all soon and I wish to be a helpful part of the community.

Welcome aboard Caleb

what kind of site are you planning on putting together?

Not sure what you mean. I'm taking a stab in the dark but I assume you are refering to my webisodes. If so, its more comedy than anything. I'm sure I'll end up using it as a soapbox sometimes, but for the most part, I want my own funny show where I usually end of making fun of everybody and leaving lots of emotionally charged people offended. I'm a pretty jaded, opinionated, no regrets kind of person who can find humor in everything and have a innate ability to make people laugh, usually at someone else's expense.

AKA_Celb You sound like my kind of person. I am sure that like me this 'tude can get you into some trouble at times

Yea, I've been called insensitive more times than I could ever imagine possible. I only really get irritated when people pick out 1 specific person and make them personally feel like crap. That's worthless. Bullying is never cool. However making fun of groups of people for stereotypes. ALWAYS FUNNY. Everybody has them, they are what make us different, and they are funny. It makes me mad when people blur the line between humorous stereotypes and hate crimes. There is a big difference between noticing a trend and making a laugh and killing/maiming/stabbing/shooting people of a different ethnicity/culture/ideal. Don't get me started of political correctness either. Well, there I go again, me and my stupid soapbox preaching... Next week, Gun Control and why its retarded.

Ah, my friend we'll get along just fine!
