Sad to see such a talented person pass away, my thoughts are with his loved ones.
GOW was my GOTG and the weapon handling / combat really was a huge part of that.
Thank you for everything George!

Rest in peace.

Not sure, I'l update if there is something... as long as it is respectful to him.

 

[Aion002]

That's a pity. May he rest in peace.

Such a talented person. I love GoW combat, his work will not be forgotten.

 

[Toots]

RIP Furious George
He did a great job with GOW.
Truly an outstanding individual, to try and get a physics degree just to prove everyone in the field wrong is the kind of behavior that makes me root for you

Damn.

Rip.

He built an amazing foundation, and I'm sure his presence will be felt in gow2.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

What an immense loss; I really loved GoW mechanics and highly appreciate his work. I highly suspect the cause of death was the jab as I also lost my aunt (very healthy lady) to it 5 days ago (clotting/ heart complications).

Keighley quote with image of George added to OP.

Erm, that's Michael K. Williams. Unless thre's someone else out there with identical features and an identical facial scar.

Woops.

Unfamiliar with him, so I didn't realize. Assumed Keighley would be posting game related stuff.

Mistake

Is this a joke?

 

[Bryank75]

Is this a joke?

No I didn't know that actor so I assumed it was game related news from Keighley. Apologies, honest mistake.

I thought he was making fun of Geoff for posting that in the Twitter thread that had nothing to do with MKW.

Nah, I just fucked up. I don't watch much TV. So I didn't recognize and assumed it was gaming related. I'm stupid. Sorry.

I was so fucking confused, I didn't really know MKW's name that well, I love his acting and I thought "wait is that the dude's name?" and then I thought "shit he can act LIKE THAT and make games too!?!? Holy Fuck" then I was sad because the guy was gone. I also had a thought "maybe that's the ritual scarification in the area he's from(this is possible)".

I guess Geoff needs to drink more of his holy Dew, and get his facts straight before he "pays respects" to the wrong person in the future, this isn't ok Dewrito Pope.

Hopefully the actual dude's family are doing ok, the mechanic he made was neat.

Does not seems to be mistake, tho? It seems related directly to that Engineer, who made some stuff on GoW... At least if you look at the twitter thread.

Yes, that's where I found it.... it was under all the posts in the related section. Obviously I never saw George Mawle before, so I didn't know what he looked like. Plus I don't watch much TV at all, so chances of me recognizing Michael K Williams are slim.

I too don't know who MK Williams is, however this seems to be related to the engineer, since other sites are reporting on it:

It's cool. No need to apologise. He was a very underrated actor that not many people knew his name. So it's an honest mistake.

I really liked him in Boardwalk Empire.

Fair enough, I wasn't trying for a "gotcha" just highlighting the misattribution.

I can see why you'd assume that was Mawle based on the proximity of Geoff's tweet.

RIP to such talent. Wish we could press triangle to recall you back to life.

 

[Jigsaah]

Rest in Peace. Thanks for the thrills.
