[games_access] AbleGamers Text to Speech Podcast; and Plee for Help.

[d. michelle hinn]

This is great, Mark! What a nice alternative to have with the podcasts!

I want to lend my support to Mark's plea/request -- Mark's site 
definitely gets to the community of gamers with disabilities. If you 
have a new mod to test out or some cool accessibility news, why not 
write up something short for the site to attract beta testers? 
Getting the word out to as many as possible is our goal -- why not 
get the word out on as many sites as we can, especially on a site 
that attracts so many hits (I had no idea! That's impressive!)? Our 
list is filled with developers and researchers who could really 
benefit from getting their news out to their audience and I think 
AbleGamers is a super effective way to do that. We can't afford to 
keep silent -- spread the word about accessibility! That's our point!

Very cool that there's a feed of oneswitch on there too. Nice to see 
the sharing! :)
