what happens ?

*edit* i am of course... extremely saddened by that too. Suicide is escape.
 
Woah. I reguarly played Goldeneye Source when it was released, he had some real talent.

R.I.P dude.
 
That is depressing. I always hate news articles when it's like "Man dead...*little info on man*" then "Damage was estimated at such and such". Pisses me off...

QFT. This pretty much took me by surprise. :(
 
Assuming this is legit, pity. I was not even aware of his existence, and he seems to have been unknown except in the context of Goldeneye:Source, so I have no reason to linger long here. I hope, though, that he had a good justification and died honourably. Burning down an apartment? The Church of Euthanasia would not approve of that, and neither do I.

And now, back to whatever I was doing before!
 
From their forums:

"I'm still skeptical. It's sad, but this is probably the best way to detatch himself from the mod, but still motivate the team to finish it up."

Best to keep those thoughts to yourself isn't it :|

Sad to hear, such an unfair death. :(

It's legit; his family has posted in the thread, if you look through it.
 
What an awful way to go... It's a real shame.

Suicide is submission and defeat. There is rarely any semblance of nobility in it.
This does not lessen the severity of how sad it is.

I can find no evidence to the contrary, but I oppose the belief of anything you see on the Internet merely because it's too emotionally loaded to have been faked. I'm going to assume it's legit.

Yeah, there's definitely something submissive about looking in the face of Oblivion and deciding that whatever's over there must be better than what you have here. :rolleyes:
 
I wish people wouldn't kill themselves in such a way. They have no idea how many lives they are negatively affecting when they do it... or they do, but are just being selfish.
 
Holy shit. :(

That is truely a horrible way to go.
 
He killed himself out of curiosity?? Not depression?
I find that hard to believe.
 
That's so sad. Why would he choose to die in such a horrible way? I don't understand it. Hopefully he's at peace now
 
anyone think its just a scam? Im not saying i think its that way, im just saying what if...you know..there is no proff that he is really dead. That news paper can be any guy...
 
selfish act, couldnt care less about his family in the aftermath of his suicide ..we should take a second to reflect on his death and then move on ..sorry but I cant pity someone who commits suicide

/end of me being a heartless bastard


his poor family
 
Wow no sympathy here, it's all well and good wanting to kill yourself, but in a way which harms others aswell is just damn right selfish. Not to mention the agony he's causing his family and friends.
 
It seems we're making the assumptions that anyone's death is necessarily harmful to everyone who knew him and that no situation is ever so bad that death could be preferable.

Ironically, we don't make the same provision for murderers or rapists.

I don't understand. So much anti-suicide dogma... it's stupid.
 
Jesus. Newspost? We're not allowed to post about Goldeneye Source really, but ffs someone is dead.
 
It's funny how everyone finds things like this depressive when they shouldn't be at all. This wasn't about submission, defeat, or nobility. From his own words it sounds like he was curious about something I myself am curious about. I'll find out whenever it happens though.

My thoughts exactly. Suicide out of curiosity... I don't pity suiciders - it was choice.
 
Damn.. I can't believe this happened. This is a devastating blow to not only his relatives but the entire HL community. :(

Did he ask anyone to?

While yes, there are alot of kids killing themselves because apparently the new fad is a dark, depressing life and some kids want to be remembered in that way. It's always the excuse that they're life was so horrible and depressing, which it probably was, and only because they made it that way. The difference is that those kids are wanting to be grieved over but to me it sounds like this guy was just in it for pure curiosity, not all the pointless shit people make of it.
 
No sympathy for suicide ESPECIALLY ones that endanger the lives of others and destroy other's property. What an asshole in doing it that way. If he'd gone out in a way that didn't endanger others, I wouldn't have sympathy for him but I wouldn't think as lowly of him. Arsonists are shitheads.
 
I don't pity someone because they killed themselves, but I have to pity them for how bad they must've felt when they were alive. If you ask me, as awful as his friends and family feel now, it's nowhere near as bad as he must've felt. Either way, I'll have pity on anyone. I'm not heartless.

Anyway, that's just awful... :(

You're making a lot of assumptions there--the kind of assumptions that you aren't logically entitled to make, unless you know the family and knew the guy.
 
It's kind of a logical assumption to say he was probably somewhat miserable if he killed himself. I'm not saying I disagree with you, Raeven0, but I might be (not so sure).

Still, what's all this about not feeling bad if it was suicide? Regardless of how it happened and that it was choice, it's still another life gone out, and that's tragedy. Don't listen to me, though, I've got more compassion than is healthy.
 
I don't care whether he killed himself out of despair, or curiousity, or anger, or hate.

I don't care whether he killed himself, or was killed, or was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or simply gave up.

I don't care whether or not he hurt someone else when he died, or if he died alone, or he died in a massive explosion, or if he collapsed in a bed.

He's dead.

I mourne.

Is it? Pretty much the entire hl community had never even heard of him.
