Disabled Gamer conquers his disability

[Paper-Cut]

With the help of an engineer, he made an "adaptive controller" that allows him to game with the pros despite serious disabilities. 20 out of 25 functions are accounted for by the system, and he uses his fingers, toes, and even his tongue to play . . .

Actually, I imagine that for him, its incredibly fun. When you have a serious disability that keeps you from playing video games normally and you are able to overcome it through hard work and creativity, I can only imagine how rewarding that must be. Amazing story, thanks for the link.
