The Blind Gamers' Association is a [[CommentaryGroups Commentary Group]] on [[https://www.youtube.com YouTube]], comprised mostly of members who have some sort of visual impairment (hence the name). In fact, most of them graduated from or attend the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

Founded in February 2012 by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SaintNoof St. Noof]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/UnnamedUser00 Zero]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/VexusdylanDaSecond Vexus Dylan]] (creator of ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT''), The Blind Gamers' Association (known hereafter as the BGA) began doing commentaries based on Zero's suggestion that a commentary be done of Sonic Adventure. The still-incomplete commentary can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3D51C0FB5E79CE5B here]]. Before any of the commentaries were started, the three founding members were joined by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/LordKoukin Koukin]], who would go on to become the fourth regular commentator in the group. A few others have appeared as guests, including [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ImTheTrainTicket TheTrainTicket]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/sonichackman1 Steven]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MegaGWolf MegaGWolf]].

After the initial game suggestion, it was decided that games should not be the limit of the BGA's repertoire, leading to a few movie commentaries (which can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0FF1481EA46830E0 here]]) and several failed attempts at TV show and anime commentaries. One such attempt was the cause of the BGA's first channel being rendered useless by a copyright strike, leading to a much more cautious approach to non-gaming videos.

Since the birth of [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBGAssociation2?feature= the new channel]], the BGA took a more game-heavy approach, leading to the completion of two games: [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8RU8G4qD19E0I9SWRVBsXqZTxQKNpbJe MegaMan Legends]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8RU8G4qD19Hk8WhR2x1jMSNYCZWsd5d- Aladdin]] for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis. Other miscellaneous commentaries have also been recorded, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXSJpwVr1As Don't Shoot the Puppy]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VibueAodR-o Sally Cruikshank's Face Like a Frog]].

The BGA now commentates on two games at a time, usually recorded by Koukin and St. Noof. Videos are uploaded Monday through Thursday, when there are actually videos to post. Special videos, like news articles, random discussions, highlights from between-video recording sessions, and movie commentaries are usually uploaded on Fridays.

The games currently in progress are:

!The Blind Gamers' Association shows examples of:

* AbortedArc: Every show commentary attempted has failed for various reasons.
** So far, the list includes:
*** WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom
*** WesternAnimation/TeenTitans
*** WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex
*** Manga/{{Kekkaishi}}
* AscendedExtra: Koukin, who was originally only going to help record footage, became a regular commentator.
* BaitAndSwitch:
--> '''Kite:''' ''(at the end of .hack//Infection Part 2)'' What the hell?
--> '''Noof, Zero, and Dylan:''' ''various shocked reactions''
--> '''Koukin:''' Ah, the old BaitAndSwitch...
* {{Bowdlerization}}: Completely and utterly annihilated by Koukin, who will often scold a commentator for cursing ''right before saying something completely lecherous''.
* ButtMonkey: Poor Steven...
** Especially in the Turner & Hooch commentary.
* ChewToy: St. Noof tends to take a lot of flak for his gameplay and editing.
* DeadpanSnarker: Dylan and Koukin do this a lot.
* PungeonMaster: G becomes this during the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' commentary.
** He even makes reference to these puns in his [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP0dvYqPp3Nd5F5ghx_hPNYJIRsl_myCf Let's Play]] of the VideoGame/SonicGenerations Unleashed Project.
* PutOnABus: The Anime/WolfsRain commentary, as well as ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', due to Steven being in school and G having his own busy schedule.
* RunningGag: Since VideoGame/MegaManLegends, any pause in gameplay or unedited pause break is assumed to be caused by the player answering a text message.
* ScheduleSlip: Due to the commentators having lives (and sometimes, general laziness), the haphazard upload schedule tends to be only a guideline.
** Given that the BGA didn't even HAVE a regular upload schedule until after their first year, a jerky schedule seems like small potatoes.
** There's also the fact that some commentary sessions are postponed or outright cancelled due to internet failure and personal affairs.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: PlayedForLaughs on occasion, but played straight with Koukin during VideoGame/MegaManLegends.
* {{Tsundere}}: Zero is ''definitely'' Type A.
