I think this should go in the General Autism section

Glad I have a Playstation.

Personally, I think they should ban ALL kids under the age of 16. They are too good and I am tired of having my ass handed to me in Modern Warfare

Xbox FTL. But I already knew that. Also, multiplayer is just stupid.

The article is dumb. Why couldn't it occur to an autistic child to cheat? *

I certainly don't have the visual processing powers or ability to play most video games.

* Actually, I was thinking of cheating as more like exploits or work arounds that one can figure out. I don't know how cheating the bad way is actually accomplished on such games.

some of the comments on slashdot are a bit judgmental

It seems that those people are a bunch of twats who don't think that autistics can produce any results, except for turds.

How the heck do you cheat online? Using the cheating device for Xbox games?

The article angered me. They don't think someone can play that good and rank up in that high of score in a week?

Actually, you can cheat online, it's called a JTAG. It let's you run unsigned code and go online with it, but you get console banned within half an hour. I have one, I went online and hosted modded lobbies, an elevator made out of care packages, ftw... :lol:
