Damn, RIP.

So many MGS voice actors we're loosing.

What a tragic situation regarding the brain injury.

RIP. The performance he gives in MGS2 is so memorable, and I'm sure is indicative of the indelible impact he would have had on those close to him

Yeah I saw it yesterday on the DOTA2 reddit.

He voiced Rubick, Phantom Lancer and Chaos Knight.


Rest in peace my dude.

RIP

 

[J@hranimo]

but really, so sad. RIP

Spoiler

Fatman for Super Bomberman R

 

[Mooreberg]

Sad to hear. RIP. Definitely one of the more memorably odd gaming antagonist of all time.

 

[Sub_Level]

RIP. He did a phenomenal job.

The Fatman boss fight is pure excellence (rip image links)

 

[Shift Breaker]

Considering he was only in MGS2 for a boss fight and a few short cutscenes, in a series known for long as hell cutscenes, psychics, cloning, fourth wall breaking, and nanomachines, son, among others, it really says a lot that Fatman was so memorable, very much in part due to the voice behind him.

R.I.P.

 

[Tom Nook]

RIP

 

[MrS]

Really sad news. He was excellent as Fatman. Rest in peace.

 

[Kuni]

RIP. His Fatman performance alone has stayed with me and probably will do forever. A talent.

 

[bnx]

RIP

Fatman was great.

 

[JayEH]

RIP.

 

[Wonko_C]

He opened the way to a new dimension before us.
