Grant discussed about RSS Reader program – he wondered if anybody still uses it today. He still use faithfully with Bloglines.com – it serve him very well. Last time many DeafRead fans discussed in 2006, there’s small numbers of people actually use RSS Reader faithfully while everyone else trying to understand what it is all about.
Many 3rd party services such as youtube.com, flickr.com and even Netflix.com have its own feeds. Also, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 have its own RSS Reader or can plug into 3rd party such as Bloglines.
It’s been more than one year later, DeafRead.com grew bigger along DeafVideo.TV and others. Do you guys still use it regularly? Did you change for better program? Did you actually give it up? Give us your feedback.
Not too long ago, Grant borrowed from his older daughter an Xbox 360 game called Assassin’s Creed (Ubisoft Publisher) which recently released in November 2007. It has become one of the most popular games today.
He managed to go thru first stage of game “How to play with controller” episode before start real game. Once he entered, he got lost and confusing because several characters kept talking to me thru the game – he just gave it up and returned game back to his daughter.
He looked up Google and found out he’s not alone – there are many complaints at Ubisoft official forum. He made his part by register and made the comment. It is not just about deaf and hard of hearing who need subtitle, there are many foreigners that are not good with English – they depend on subtitle to play.
Grant applauded commenter Robert Nunn who wrote to “To the Editor” on Game Informer magazine (February 2008 edition; page 12) regarding lack of subtitle on this game. Hopefully it will push Ubisoft to offer subtitle patch/upgrade in near future. To see scanned article from magazine, click here.
Did you know that many store such as Wal-mart of Target will not honor opened game box regardless? Several Deaf gamers purchased and got stuck with it. If you purchase game thru GameStop store, you might have little luck.
People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anwyay. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness. people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may be never enough. Give your best anyway. For you, in the end, it is between you and yourself. It never was between you and them anyway.
