If you where to give a blind man working eyes he still wouldn't (Or should I say, couldn't, as many people have recovered from not having vision nearly there whole lives.) be able to see.

On top of that, TV screens are flat/somewhat rounded. Echo location sends a sound towards an object, and then balances back if he where to do that while playing games, all he would get is a flat surface. That is, if humans could do echo location. Which they cannot. And no matter how much being blind would help his other senses it simply wouldn't be enough to be able to do so.

He's faking it. It's just that everyone is too stupid to realize it, or figure it out. Kind of like magicians.

Agreed.

You inconsiderate being... (Being is a nice word for what I want to call you.) He isn't bouncing sound waves off the TV. He can hear what is being played. Can't believe you would even say that, as well as taking your senses for granted.

To be honest with you I complete agree. Theres no way that this could be possible. For a start he has people around him to tell him where and what things are. Play games.... Yeah I bet he can push buttons and thats about it.

If he could rely on the echo... It would be so damn trash anyway.

Yeah! I mean come on, this kid obviously has magical ears. He could very well be the next Mozart.

If I were going to give someone the job of figuring everything out for me and telling me what the truth is, you better believe they would know the difference between "weather" and "whether."
