I thought the guy quietly sitting on the side in a kung fu movie was always the hardest one.  I guess the wheel chair might change that theory a bit though.   8)

That sonic the hedgehog game didn't really seem any different...

Normally in Sonic, you have to hold the right D-pad for far longer.  I think that level is intended to help those that don't have that kind of finger strength.

Oh, that would be why. I usually just leaned a book or heavy object on the D-pad to play. I've leveraged the same technology to play through Final Fantasy VIII, albeit with a slight adjustment. I should license the technology.

I saw some latinos in Vegas once using a similar technology to play video slots.  They installed a plastic stir straw in a depressed "spin" button.  It was fairly effective at removing all credits from their play card from the looks of it.

Just out of curiosity what would have prompted you to say "some people". If they were white, would you have said "some whites"?

Well, "whites" is a color, Latinos is not... so you would have to say something like "some Anglo-Saxons" or some "Caucasians" to fit the example.  :D

Latinos are white (or more accurately, Caucasian) - at least according to US government census classification. So, he did say some whites; he was just being more specific.

I could have said "some Mexicans", but I didn't ask where they were from, so that would have been presumptive.  I could have also called them humanoids...
