  My Pop died a couple of weeks ago he lived 3 weeks longer than expected but not quite long enough to hit 80

Wow Lisa Robin Kelly suddenly just died.

I know she had been going through some issues, recently.

Sir David Frost has also died, I quite liked him, despite being too young to appreciate why he was on TV at the time.
If you've BT seen Frost / Nixon, I'd definitely recommend it.  I'd recommend pretty much anything with Frank Langella!

A sad day for Famicomworld... RIP

[UglyJoe]

Just think of where we'd be if Nintendo had struck it big with their "love hotel" business

RIP Yamauchi-san.

I would be a totally different person maybe, for better or for worse. This forum wouldn't exist...

RIP

Damn... I'm happy Yamauchi created such a great company.
RIP

Very sad news.  Just heard moments ago that the wonderful Nelson Mandela has sadly passed away.
