(Note from Icarus: Sorry, it is copyrighted work, and cannot be posted. But in a nutshell, valve has worked with hearing impaired consultants to insure a quality gaming expirenence. This includes putting text on the bottom left of the screen to describe what is going on, including gunfire, click of grenades, and such. Characters will have their own color text for when they speak that will stay the same throughout the game)

I think this is very close to being illegal, but yeah, that's very cool. I'm not deaf, but I've been wondering how Goddamn annoying it would be at times when they play games.

Edit: That's solely.

He means pasting the article text.

LOL not the fact that they are making the game with captions.
:laugh:

Common sense!

Yes and the PC Gamer article is copyrighted material. They don't want an article that you are supposed to pay for being displayed for free on the internet.

Very nice move by Valve, its really not that big of a deal to most of us but I can certainly see it making a difference to a number of people out there.
