Jeff Gerstmann Forum

yes actually he is. Many times in his past he has brought it up. When talking about puzzle fighter II turbo hd remix he mentioned that to him green and yellow blocks look the same, he said this is often in his favor cause he will accidentally make insane combos. Listening to these guys speak taught me what color blindness really is, I always just thought you see black and white...

My guess is...if green and yellow look the same...then it's probably Blue-Yellow colorblindness, a version of dichromy."

I can't believe what it would be like to be color blind.

Which color does he really see, yellow or green? Makes you think....

I remember him saying a while back that when he was blaying "Da Blob" he had trouble and didn't want to admit to the PR guy he was colour-blind and the game was pretty un-playable for him.

"Once on an episode of the Hotspot they listed all of the people working at gamespot who were color blind. I believe Vinny is also."

Yeah back on the Hotspot they were listing people who were color blind. I think it was Vinny, Jeff, Aaron, and I think Ryan Macdonald was color blind. They were wondering if being color bind draws people to games."

"I remember him talking about struggling at de Blob because of his color blindness, so I bet it is true.  I want Jeff to jump on this thread himself and say "Dudes, I am colorblind" or something. Clear the story."

"It is ironic though for a video game journalist to be color blind. Color application is a huge part of a video game's appeal, at least for me."

He wouldn't really know the difference though if he was born color blind. He wouldn't even know he was missing something until someone told him ya know?"
