I understand the thread's moving quickly but I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could add the Iwata ribbon to my avatar:
My condolences. I may not have agreed with every single decision he made for Nintendo but the man was hugely likable and respectable. He will most certainly be missed! ;(
GAF logo should change in honor of Iwata.
Who is this person? This is a strange thing to say if they aren't involved with the project and/or Nintendo, as though Iwata's passing and this title are in any way related. Sorry if I'm being ignorant.
Quoting because this deserves a place on every page.Some will say he was a wonderful programmer, who did coding sorcery to get games like Pokemon Gold and Silver onto cartridges that had no business fitting.
Some will say he was a jovial personable man who humanized the often fitful, draconian realm of the video game boardroom.
But I will remember him as the man who ate big pay cuts to keep his staff employed and occupied where other CEOs would throw their people under buses or flee and have someone else desperate to appease shareholders do it instead.
And for that, he will be missed deeply.
Someone please apply this to my avatar as well.
I'm...I'm gonna cry now.
Edit: taking a break now, listening to Kirby music
I would love this on my avatar as wellCould someone apply this to my avatar please?
I just saw this on msn. Had been away from the Internet for the weekend. Man that sucks. I'm really sad. Rip.
Something like neogaf logo being one of the ballons attached to the balloon fighter would be really cool.GAF logo should change in honor of Iwata.

Make it stop.It's probably been said already, but does anyone else find it really sad that the last thing we heard from him publicly outside of shareholders, was that he was sorry that he let us all down at E3?
