Some of you may remember a fellow we knew as spiralJunkie in Eve days past. He used to be the host in early Alliance Tournaments among other things. Due to a medical condition he suffered a stroke in 2010 that left him partially paralyzed. He's still a gamer, but upon finding no real online resource for gamers with disabilities, he's trying to put together one of his own to fill the gap.

You can find a bit more info about sJ and his cause on my blog here: http://funkybacon.blogspot.com/2014/05/with-one-hand-tied-behind-my-back.html but most importantly, I'd greatly appreciate it if you or anyone you know who is gaming with a disability could get in contact with him so he can get his bases covered while he develops this resource for the good of many. His cause is quite just.

Contact info is at the tail end of that blog posting.

Thanks!

Another gamer who's unable to control games with anything other than his head and voice

That's about all I can find in a quick Google fu excersize. Unfortunately I know no one in my immediate vicinity who games with a disability.

I wish spiralJunkie al the best in his endeavors and that his cause will be met with great succes and enthusiasm.

Oh yeah, I remember PizzaJunkie. Surprising that a stroke would get to him first and not his dietary habits. RollBlink

The SA forums would be an excellent resource.

That's one name I haven't heard in a long time. Best of luck and great work to everyone with info to share.

Funky, thanks for letting us know about this effort.

Here's a story from Brave's subreddit I found to be a happy read:
