Episode 54: IMMD 4 Geeks.

WTH(?) is IMMD you might ask. IMMD stands for "It Made My Day". Usually the response to inspirational stories. n00bs. :p

Ok. So we usually hear some cool and touching stories about how some random person or animal being kind and cute and all, well I got a good one for you peeps out there. A warning though, the next paragraph is gonna be kinda geeky, so it might not sound as incredible to everyone. 

So I was browsing through Youtube videos about video game trailers and sh8t when I came across a few Alienware gameplay videos, one of which is a Splinter Cell: Conviction game.

WHEN SUDDENLY.

A funny combo came up. Gameplay vid + Evanescence 'Bring Me To Life' plays in the background. Then an annotation came up in the video. It goes somewhere along this line:

"Hey guys, I am deaf and I can't hear anything at all, so I just used AudioSwap on the video and put a random song in it. I don't know if the song is any good because I can't hear. If you guys have any suggestions.." (+ some more stuff)

So this guy is deaf. He can't hear sh8t. Yet he's still a hardcore gamer, even playing super hard tactical games where sound and noise are vital elements. Well I'm kinda geeky too so IMMD.

DAMN.

This is when I suddenly feel that I complain too much about my shortcomings and not trying to make do with what I actually have. It's a shame. We should try harder. Way harder. :)
