Rooster Teeth's Monty Oum has passed away

I was so hype off of Dead Fantasy back in the day. RIP

I'm glad the funds for his medical expenses seem more than met. I wish the best for his family.
 
If you're not a member of their RT community, you should really take a look. It's flooded with thousands of people sharing their memories and thoughts. Video tributes are all over the place, created by collaborating RT community members, and a google docs memoriam created by the community showed up with over 200 slides(within an hour) from people writing on it. There's people posting pictures of themselves with Monty; people who never post pictures of themselves on the internet. An outcry of condolences from other people in the industry, from 343i employees, to Maximilian_Dood, Boogie 2988, the entire Inside Gaming crew, ex-Midway employees. The whole thing is very intense.
While I never joined their community even though I've been a fan for a long time now, I can believe it. It always seemed like a cool place and Monty was just a very likable dude and everyone knew that from the day he joined them. Never knew he worked at Midway. That was interesting to learn. I'll check it over there in a little.
