The Memorial Thread (of those who have passed on.)

I didn't see the movie yet. Sorry he died.
Heard the movie was shitty, but it was a part of people's childhoods.
It's funny how some things suck, but because they were in your childhood, and you have good memories about them, they seem awesome to you.

Ugh. One of my childhood video games.

RIP Bob Hoskins. He was also great in who framed roger rabbit. Very sad

I almost died today  (been on running and the outside was so hot that my legs felt like somebody burning them, came home and couldn't stop sweating)

I learned that H.R. Giger passed away recently.

I would've expected more news about this. I don't even remember where I found this out. Anyway, I'm sure I don't have to say much about him; the man was extraordinarily creative and influential. Nearly everything sci-fi in video games pay respect to his works.

Hey, that would be a great article! H.R. Giger in Video Games

It is sad, he was an amazing artist.  I have a bunch of Geiger books - the best bit are the stories he tells about his younger years, I was surprised how normal he seemed yet he produced these elegantly horrific artworks.

One day I'd like to visit the Geiger Bars.  There's one in Tokyo and one somewhere in Europe from memory.

Robin Williams. Apparently he had been suffering from depression for a long period of time. Cause of death hasn't been announced but the news said something about a possibility of asphyxiation.

My uncle Barry died yesterday of brain cancer. 

[Mo-hd]

I'm sorry to hear that... My condolences to you and your family.

[smeghead]

I'm sorry security, it's hard and always a shock when we lose somebody close,  my grandmom before 7 years died, from brain cancer too. 

[security16]

Thanks guys. He lived a few months longer than the doctors had expected and there wasn't a whole lot they could do to stop the cancer which was good that he got some extra time with his kids and the rest of the family.   

[P]

My condolences Security. Good that he could stay with family. My grandfather died a few years ago by cancer. We stayed with him every day including all my uncles and aunt during his last time.

Cancer sucks and there is a possibility that it's coming for my boobs  I get them regularly checked but they've found a lump thats misbehaving so being safe rather than sorry with it.
