Well, it might be time for me to step up and fight for accessibility once again. Blizzard Entertainment is apparently planning to heavily restrict add-on usage in World of Warcraft, both classic and retail. (continued)

@elsullyjones : I understand you do some audio description narration and a client of mine at @DescribedVideo has requested you for a project. Please message me if you are available to be hired and I'll get you the details! Thank you!

I'm excited that I'm going to be on this great panel of audio description consumers and creators to talk about innovation and progress in AD. Join us on August 26th! ega.glueup.com/event/the-art-…

I missed Audio Description Awareness Day, but had fun adding some descriptions to "Pixie and Brutus" videos today using YouDescribe: youdescribe.org/video/V6ZgqG-6… @SKERI_YD #AudioDescriptionAwarenessDay

@BlondeHistorian On a podcast, I heard someone who is blind describe sighted people as "retinal dependent" and I have started to really appreciate the accuracy of that label for myself and most sighted people I know.

@TSReid @wweirdwriter We (Descriptive Video Works, the subject of the article) agree! Not sure what's up with that article title, but we call it audio description for games, same as for movies, etc. It is tricky enough already: described video for Canadian content & audio description for US content!

@wweirdwriter I hope they can stay away from re-naming ...Wherever it occurs; television, films, documentaries, live theater, games... it’s #AudioDescription.

In an interview on @IGN, Rhyss Lloyd of @DescribedVideo discusses working on the audio-described trailer for Assassin's Creed Valhalla and why creating full audio description for video games is the ultimate goal for the studio. Read the interview here: bit.ly/33acn4i

@Cmdr_Hadfield For the blind and low vision community, here's the described video version: youtube.com/watch?v=dJbd6e… (@DescribedVideo).

Elsie MacGill, “Queen of the Hurricanes”, the worlds first female aeronautical engineer. She is an inspiration.

Thanks, everyone who sent this to me. I am aware of YouTube implementing a test pilot of SAP (Second audio protocol) which can provide descriptions for blind audiences. This is in private-beta. I hope I can share more info about it in the near future. #AudioDescribeYT #a11y

@DaniMarieAUC @TheoryOBlindMan @JamesRath @stevesaylor @sightlessKombat Someone created a playlist of a bunch of game trailers with AD: youtube.com/watch?v=eahpZd… These are under the old system, where they had to be a separate video from the non-AD one.

Have you guys found any other videos with audio description tracks on YouTube? This is an Assassin's Creed Valhalla Trailer. Does this mean they're adding accessibility into the game as well? @TheoryOBlindMan @JamesRath @stevesaylor @sightlessKombat youtu.be/WaOKSUlf4TM

@superblindman @TisserandDavid @ea_access I think it is @ea_accessible? Ea_access isn't in English, so I don't know what it is about.

#AudioDescription is a complex artform that is a crucial part of cultural and educational accessibility. If you would like to understand how that ties with #VideoGames and other forms of entertainment, register here: bit.ly/3hJ4bfm. #Gaming #KWSDigitalEvent #GameDev

@cherryrae @MistyRayburn If you decide to do a description feed like the ASL feed, the company I work for (@DescribedVideo - we did the trailer descriptions) also has people who've done live TV description and could do the live event!
