Akira Yamaoka dead at 48

[A Black Falcon]

Not entirely unexpected, I suppose, but I was really hoping that it would turn out to be Stealth.

Stealth hasn't IM'ed me much in quite a while, but he did say a few things last week (after not saying anything for like five or six months)... does he still talk to anyone else here on MSN, or is it just me?

He seemed ... pretty messed up ... for a while, but the last few times he wasn't like that. He did say that he hadn't played much in the way of videogames in quite some time... that's most likely why there wasn't the usual nintendo/handheld bashing. :)

Actually, I haven't seen Weltall post here in a while.

That's a good point... though he's been calling himself Ryan for years now, that was my first hint that it wasn't really him... he definitely hasn't posted much in a while now. :(
