This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I wasn't happy to read about this either. It's like people are lining up and cashing their chips in.

No kidding -- I just found out on Saturday night that Bernie Mac had passed away too. :(

Yeah, Bernie Mac was a big shocker, too.  He wasn't old enough to go, either.

It's not just those 2, but I'd be interested in seeing stats on which celebrities have passed and what year. Also game designers keep dropping off like flies. This stuff happens, but it seems to be happening heavily this last year.

Eat right, exercise, try to stay healthy - die anyway.

Stupid treadmills.

And yeah, Bernie Mac dying was total left-field. I didn't even think he was as old as he was, and it was still way too young. Pneumonia of all things.

I had Pneumonia earlier this year; I was never hospitalized (we caught it really early) but even so, I can remember wondering whether or not I was going to live through it. Even after it was mostly gone, I was useless and easily exhausted for about two months. Many days I was too tired to read, even just after twelve hours of sleep. Ick.
Helped me quit smoking, though.

Thanks also for Truck Turner (if you haven't seen this, now is a great time to check it out).

Rest in Peace.

On topic- the theme from Shaft is one of my all time favorite songs.

I love just about everything off Hot Buttered Soul.

We certainly seem to have seen many icons in gaming and the arts pass this year.  I think this will accelerate as the boomer generation is fast greying.
