'Volver' DVD PackagingIf you think about it, the deaf people wouldn't think a game like "Rock Band" or "Guitar Hero" and such types of games would appeal to them. The hearing people would think the same about the deaf people. I know because I have gotten asked questions from some of the hearing people I know.
Well, you may be surprised to find out how wrong you would be. Rock Band is really a game for everybody. It's even more fun when you play it with friends and family. The game itself comes with a guitar, a drum set and a microphone. Ah, now you're going... a microphone? Well, truth be told, I don't really use it. Only a couple times and yes, I got a great ranking every time I tried it out. But that's only because I cheated by controlling the sound level of my humming rather than singing the actual lyrics.
Regardless, the guitar and the drum set are a blast to play with. Especially when you turn up the volume and bass. People can really get into it. I am pretty much deaf and yet I had a blast playing this game. I heartily recommend this to anyone looking for a good time with his or her friends.
It is available on Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. All of the names mentioned are linked to the specific edition for the console you want to buy for.
Enjoy!
Earlier today, I wrote that Shoshannah Stern would be in the second season of "Jericho." I also posted a link to the video clip at the official website. Though it wasn't captioned.
Now, I want to thank Bill Creswell for captioning the video. A few days ago, I mentioned how he is working to caption as many movie trailers as he can free of charge. We shouldn't take it for granted; it's wonderful how many volunteers there are on the internet who are willing to work for free just to provide access.
Believe it or not, there are thousands and thousands of people on the internet who subtitle video clips on a daily basis and don't get a single penny out of it. It makes me wonder why so many websites like CNN, FOX News, CBS News and many, many more websites are not willing to do anything about it. It's a potential career for many people who are already volunteering their time to subtitle just to provide access to everyone. They even subtitle them in foreign languages. There are many people who deserve to be paid for doing such a thing.
In fact, there is a team of people who are getting serious about it. For instance, Project readOn. They just partnered up with Senator Tom Harkin to caption the video clips on his website, I mentioned it back in December.
Anyway, that's all I have to say. Here's the captioned video and remember to thank Bill Creswell for volunteering his time to caption the "Jericho" preview. Also, click here to access his website.
As some of you know, the show, Jericho will be returning on February 12. The last time I covered the subject, I was unsure if Shoshannah Stern, the deaf actress, would be involved with the second season or not.
Today, I took a look at a video clip promoting the show on the official "Jericho" website. I was able to spot Shoshannah Stern in a few shots meaning she is still a part of the show. Click here to view the video clip. Just wait and then she'll appear. She's carrying a shotgun and shooting at some enemies. Though you will have to watch a 30-second long commercial before you can watch the video clip.
Just thought I'll let you know that her character, Bonnie didn't get the axe.
