It Ain't Pinball..

but he sure sounds like a wizard...

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - An 18-year-old Lincoln East High School senior is heading to Japan to test his gaming skills against that nation's best.
Brice Millen has been blind since birth. His skills at playing video games have earned him national exposure on programs such as N-B-C's Today Show.
Later this month Millen and his father will will compete with some of Japans best Mortal Kombat players as part of a special for Nippon T-Vs Power of Memory Part Three.
A film crew from Nippon T-V was in Lincoln over the weekend to shoot footage of Brice.


If he's been blind since birth, I don't see the relevance of the Power of Memory. Maybe the power of furious button mashing.
and the championship is Mortal Kombat? The faster you can mash buttons the better on this one. I can't count the number of times a noob beat me by picking Baraka and going Baraka on the gamepad. Lets see Brice try and play GTA, or even Tetris.

But good for him anyway. I'd bet he uses audio cues and a little bit of The Force, in addition to the rapid digital dexterity to pwn all their base.
