Baiken in Guilty Gear only has one arm, as does the protagonist of Bionic Commando. I think Rogue Legacy's random characters might also count.

blotunga: you play the last part of The Walking Dead having only one hand.

phaolo: Also HuniePop.

*badum tssh*
I meant that the protagonist has only one hand, not you, the one controlling him ;).

mm324: It's lol-speak, like "Valley Girl" speak of the 80's. She's quite capable of normal spelling but chooses to add a little flair to her online personality.
Frankly, I think continuously writing that way ought to be pretty tedious. Too much effort for little payback.

Not my "thing" either, I type slow enough as it is. :p

I think it becomes automatic after some time (I had a post restriction in a forum game once where I had to change certain letters to certain other letters in my posts and after 1 good practice session it was automatic), which is an indication that it is not doing anything good for her brain / probably making her stupider.

I know I participate less with that person because of their inability to communicate well and I'm sure others do too.

I have cerebral palsy and walk with a cane. For the most part it doesn't affect how I look at disabilities in games. As far as other media goes....I think there's too much "playing the victim" by the disabled and those in the media who want to sensationalize it and/or high-jack it for their own agenda.

I'm serious. Apart from the friendly jabbing I give my friends I'm done ripping people in here.

Mind you, I hate the way the girl types but that's on me. I'm done bitching about this stuff.

Fairfox: I think for me teh problem is taht, unless it's inherent to teh story (as in teh most important thang, or at least key), thar's just no 'drive' to be inclusive from devs. I guess taht bugs me. I can see it from both points of view; on teh one hand shoehornin' seems unnecessary, belittlin' and mebbe even counter-productive (?), but on teh other, as written, unless it's inherent it'll nevah happen outside of, saaay, villains or whatevs. Mebbe taht's okay, as in art not always reflectin' life. I don't kno... Seems wrong.
I think sometimes when people see someone who's disabled they tend to see it as a bigger part of the person than what it is. Behind the disability is a person with all of the same thoughts as everyone else. I can only speak for my self but I don't pay much to my disability until something happens like having to walk across a patch of ice. (Does someone who's extremely short/tall skinny/large only see that in themselves?) Maybe that's why it doesn't bother me to not see game characters with disabilities. That's not to say I'd be opposed to seeing a character using a cane to beat the cr#p out of a bad guy. That would be a reflection of my (younger) life. =D

Saw a trailer on Youtube for a game called Perception. It appears to be a horror game where the protagonist is blind and sees through echolocation. The visual style looked cool.

I, however, don't find horror games that interesting. :)

catpower1980: There was this game on mobile phone where you played a blind person and as such there were no graphics (a black screen thus), you had to rely on your other senses to navigate and interact. Can't remember the name.

Shadowstalker16: OMG I forgot to mention that first person game where you play as a blind person and you move around with echo-location and have to use headphones and such. Trying to find it.

Here's a <span class="bold">gameplay video</span>.  This game is currently included in the " <span class="bold">Tempest Bundle</span> " on Bundle Stars.

I couldn't find it earlier, but yep, that's the one!
