That would take SO MUCH time to learn a game, so pointless, but I guess it teaches the dude patience

Good for him.  That's really crazy.  Interesting that he wants to do video game design?

It's interesting how he plays through audio cues. He had to probably learn thousands of sounds and guess how the opponent was moving when they strafed.

He is a masher.

Also, how hard is it to play against people who have never played the game before?

"How do I move?" an exasperated opponent, Ryan O'Banion, asked during a battle in which his character is frozen in place.

"You can't," Mellen answered before finishing him off.

That sounds more like the blind guy got him in a grab with block+kick, seeing as how even the most retarded rednecks can figure out in about 5 seconds that moving the joystick (usually labeled "move") makes the character move.
