Hi, friends. Shaysters here.
It is with a heavy heart to post that our beloved SuperBlindMan is no longer with us as of today.
@MistyRayburn was there by his side. Please allow her some time to grieve and be able to answer questions.

Brandon Cole: TLOU MK1 Forza Accessibility
@superblindman
Award winning blind accessibility advocate/consultant in video games, establishing the idea that the blind are gamers too. Known for TLOU, MK1, Forza access!
- Hey game developers, this one's for you. I want to reintroduce myself. My name is Brandon Cole. I'm your blind friend. Ask me all the silly questions, even the ones you think might offend me. They won't. I'll answer them, and then we can start making your future games accessible.
- Ladies and gentlemen, I can officially announce that I have, right now, a Playstation 5, courtesy of the awesome folks at @PlayStation! I will be reviewing it in full. Hardware and software. More details soon!
- I... don't know what to say. I don't know how to react. I am extremely emotional right now, in the best way. Thank you so much, @playstation. I never expected this. I never even IMAGINED this. This is an incredible, amazing honor. Wow.
- To anyone out there who thinks TLOU Part 1 should not have been made, a blind friend of mine just finished Left Behind, (played at the moment it happens in the main story), and cried. He cried. Because he was able to play it. Can yall hush now? This means so much to us.
- Replying to @superblindmanI am proud to officially announce that I represented the totally blind community as the official total blindness accessibility consultant for The Last of Us Part 2, and have done so for the past 3 years. I cannot express how much this has meant to me.
- I am happy to announce my official #ForzaMotorsport tutorials for the blind, complete with extra tips from me! Video 1: youtu.be/7va0pd4c1hQ Video 2: youtu.be/JhW6OKM_xNc @ForzaMotorsport
- Ladies and gentlemen, at long last, I finally get to share with you one of my biggest projects to date. I can finally announce that, for the past 2 years, I have been working on total blind accessibility for Forza Motorsport. This has been an epic journey.
- Ladies and gentlemen, I can finally announce that I have been given an amazing honor. #Hearthstone continues to welcome the blind community, as I have been invited to represent then at the theory crafting event for Voyage to the Sunken City! @PlayHearthstone @alkali_layke
- Looking for any Destiny 2 players out there interested in high-level content. My fiance has grinded for weeks to prepare for Grandmaster Nightfalls, and has said she may leave the game if, once again, she can't find a group to do them with. Please share this. (continued)
- Replying to @superblindmanI will be here for a little while to answer what I can or possibly repost some of you. Let's help continue Brandon's legacy and fight for accessibility! I know for sure that this is what he would want! Rest easy, Brandon! We love you. You fought well.
- Well, it might be time for me to step up and fight for accessibility once again. Blizzard Entertainment is apparently planning to heavily restrict add-on usage in World of Warcraft, both classic and retail. (continued)
- Ladies and gentlemen, I'm insanely excited to announce that I love @PlayStation, and they love me, because I just got a review copy of God of War Ragnarok thanks to them, and will absolutely be reviewing it on November 3! Also, look forward to early impressions coverage soon!!!
- Hi everyone! I have a new announcement to make, and it’s big. It’s huge! I got me a new contract, and this time I am able to give you one particularly interesting detail. I have been invited out to consult for @Ubisoft! I promise, this golden opportunity will not be wasted.
