Digitec Podcast Episode 126: "Being blind doesn't mean games can't challenge me"
Daniele Corciulo is blind and tells us how he can still play God of War Ragnarok. We also talk about new chip factories in the US, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and the unusual tactics social game Marvel's Midnight Suns.
Accessibility is increasingly becoming an issue in games. This makes it possible for blind people like Daniele Corciulo to enjoy titles like "God of War Ragnarok" virtually without outside help. He tells us in the podcast how this works and where there is still potential for improvement. He also has a few comments on the digitec website.
After that, it's on to the news. Apple wants to start sourcing chips from the USA in 2024 and Microsoft is offering Sony, Nintendo and Valve a ten-year deal for "Call of Duty".
The big screen also has room for improvement.
On the big screen, it gets Christmassy with "The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special" . In the Games Corner we review "Marvel's Midnight Suns", where there is more chatting than fighting. Somewhat disappointing is the sci-fi horror game "The Callisto Protocol". But perhaps the biggest surprise of the year is "Need for Speed Unbound". It's really good.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
