I would like to start a discussion about AskACapper's Custom Remappable Button Petition. It's a great idea and it has a great potential of helping millions of disabled and able-bodied gamers alike. I recently came across AskACapper's YouTube channel and I watched one of his videos showing him playing call of duty on his PS3 using only his face. I personally was amazed that he was able to play his PS3 using only his face, I mean it's already hard enough for me to play with my hands, let alone using my face. So I'm sitting here watching this guy getting kill streak after kill streak, using a pretty unconventional strategy compared to what you usually see when playing call of duty and he is doing pretty well. I also found out that he is also a comedian, a very good comedian at that. I found him to be very funny. He calls himself the "Can't Stand Up Comedian", that is pretty clever if you ask me.

So as I'm sure you can guess, it can be pretty difficult to play video games using only your face. Reaching all of the buttons and manipulating the analog sticks can be pretty difficult, especially when the game only has a few layouts to choose from. Game developers and console manufacturers almost never give the player the option to create their own custom button layout that suits them. For that reason AskaCapper created the Custom Remappable Button Petition to require developers and manufacturers to incorporate a custom layout feature. He has gained a huge following and has even gotten game developers such as Valve to add this feature into their game Portal 2. Thousands of gamers have already signed this petition, even those without disabilities have signed this petition. It's really a great cause that is very helpful for many people. Please check out his website at http://www.askacapper.com/, his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/profile?user=askacapper#p/u and sign his Petition at http://www.change.org/petitions/console-game-developers-and-console-manufactures-make-custom-button-remapping-a-standard-in-all-console-games.

So tell us what you think about this petition, do you think it's a great idea, would this help you, would this help somebody you know?
