The last two weeks have been absolutely crazy during the week, hence why this episode hadn't been posted yet. I'm already editing last week's episode and will put it up Wednesday, and then put the upcoming live episode on next Sunday. The passphrases will work through multiple episodes because I'm the admin and I can do that.

I don’t know anything about free speech in the UK, but I do have a fun story, that you, and your thousands of listeners may enjoy. No sarcasm, Mr. Blackwolf really does have thousands of listeners, he’s world famous, you know and he freaking won the Nintendo World Championships, may I remind you.

I got intoxicated one day (alcohol) so, I thought I’d go see what’s happening on the PS4 console, I don’t use this console much.

I ended up drunk buying Ultra Street Fighter IV, it could have been worse, I could have bought a more expensive game so, it’s not a big loss - plus, their going to patch it. Most likely (hopefully) by the time this podcast airs, or when you’re reading this comment.

I was digging around the PS4’s system menu, and I noticed there is an accessibility option in there. So I went in it, and you can zoom into the screen, change the text to bold, use contrast colours, and some other stuff. Now remember, I was drunk, so at this point I thought this wasn’t real, or happening. The next day, I went back in that menu again, and low and behold it was actually real. Infact, I had left the zoom option enabled, and said to myself “What in the blue hell is this?!"

So a quick PSA to the visually impaired gamers out there, the PS4 has accessibility options. It’s great to see Sony get onboard with this. I can’t remember the callers name who calls into your show, who’s a visually impaired gamer, but he’s the first person I thought of.

This leads me to two questions:

1, Do you think the accessibility feature will come to the Xbox One on a console level, since they don’t bundle in Kinect 2.0 anymore?

2, Is this why Steam implemented a refund system, where by if you buy a game, and you’re not happy with it, or you got intoxicated with alcohol, and as long as you’ve played it for under 2 hours, you can get a refund? I do wish the consoles had this refund policy in place too. I know if I call Sony, there is no way I’m getting a refund.

Don’t worry, this comment was typed not under the influence of alcoholic beverages consumed.

Feel free to power phrase this comment, if it’s too long.

Yes, you ARE drunk.

However, I'm guessing you had that comment typed up in Word and pasted it in. The apostrophes that Word makes are different than the apostrophes that you actually type in the comment box, hence why they look fine in this comment.

Character sets and time zones are the bane of any web developer.

You're right, I did type my comment up in Notes on the Mac. I was anticipating the show being posted up so much, I thought I better get my comment ready for when your show from 2 weeks ago, I think it was gets posted.

Now that I know I can't copy and paste, I won't do that anymore. Hopefully, it doesn't throw you off when reading it out on air!
