Today's news stories are: Half Life 3 is not only apparently happening, but is internally "playable from end-to-end" according to rumours. Plus I talk about how Genki is discovering the consequences of their actions with Nintendo suing them. Lastly, Bungie is also in legal trouble as the judge in the story copyright case shuts down the order to dismiss because of the Destiny Content Vault.

Join me for an EXCLUSIVE first look at Drag & Drive on the Nintendo Switch 2, and I have some thoughts. HUGE CAVEAT in that this isn't the full representation of the final game. A lot of what I say in this video may be entirely moot by the time this game comes out. If so, I will delete this video. (You may need to remind me if this turns out to be true lol). But if this isn't fixed by Nintendo, this will be the biggest miss Nintendo has ever had.Make sure to subscribe as I'll be bringing you individual videos all week about my thoughts on the games I played and what accessibility I could gather during my playtime.

Join me for an EXCLUSIVE first look at Mario Kart World for the Nintendo Switch 2. I will discuss the two modes I played: Grand Prix and Knockout mode. I will also discuss whether the world is more accessible than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Did they play it safe with features and not really improve accessibility?

Join me for an EXCLUSIVE first look at the Nintendo Switch 2 as I explore its accessibility. I'll share my honest impressions of what works, what doesn't, including how it feels in the hands, weight, size of buttons and joy-cons, the screen, the types of control modes (handheld, Joy-Con Grip, Pro Controller, and Mouse mode), and more!

In this episode, I wanted to talk about thanks to  ⁨@MicrosoftCanada⁩  I was sent a Surface Laptop to try out CoPilot in hopes that it could help with accessibility, and what happened was that CoPilot helped out in another way I wasn't expecting. It helped become a creative adventure writing partner for D&D that made me more efficient and kept that creative wheel spinning. Let me know what you think, and please no spoilers in the comments.WHAT I SEE WHEN PLAYING VIDEO GAMES: https://youtu.be/c-vrKFmz1pYFriend me on PSN and Xbox LIVEPSN Name: BlindGamerSteveXbox Gamertag: BlindGamerSteveFollow me online:TWITTER: http://twitter.com/stevesaylorTWITCH: http://twitch.tv/stevesaylorINSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/stevesaylor#surfacelaptop #microsoftcopilot #dungeonsanddragons

In this video I talk about the BIG NEWS for accessibility. Steam will finally be adding Accessibility tags to their storefront pages and giving developers a new way to add them to their existing games' pages. This is huge because players will eventually be able to search for accessible games by using these tags later this year. If this sounds familiar, it's because it is. Last month, ESA announced the Accessible Games Initiative, which has universal accessibility tags that are similar to Steam's, but not quite. So this could, down the road, make the universal language of accessibility tags even less universal.Links:- New: Showing Accessibility support for your games on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/536595840131663918- Accessible Games Initiative - https://accessiblegames.com/WHAT I SEE WHEN PLAYING VIDEO GAMES: https://youtu.be/c-vrKFmz1pYFriend me on PSN and Xbox LIVEPSN Name: BlindGamerSteveXbox Gamertag: BlindGamerSteveFollow me online:TWITTER: http://twitter.com/stevesaylorTWITCH: http://twitch.tv/stevesaylorINSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/stevesaylor#gamingnews #steam #accessibility
