Monty Oum Hospitalised [UPDATED!!!] - Cobalt Greywalker - 01-31-2015 See Rooster Teeth post http://roosterteeth.com/news/entry.php?id=5427280]HERE. Fortunately his medical costs are now covered (in HOURS! GO TEAM!!!), but they don't know if he'll make it. - Black Aeronaut - 01-31-2015 .... Yeesh! That fund is already nearing 200%! At least they won't have to worry about unforeseen medical expenses. I really hope he pulls through. - Bob Schroeck - 01-31-2015 Almost triple now. Wonder what it was that caught him so unexpectedly. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Cobalt Greywalker - 01-31-2015 Most likely thing I can think of is car accident. I don't know anything about his general health, besides his workaholic tendencies. - Cobalt Greywalker - 02-02-2015 Monty has passed away. The Rooster Teeth site is getting hammered but the link is http://roosterteeth.com/news/entry.php?id=5448468]HERE. Cut and paste from the site: Quote:Monty Oum has passed away Given how most of ATT's staff are RWBY fans, I felt this was appropriate - GethN7 - 02-02-2015 http://twitter.com/ATTropes/status/562341359303270400 I issued a tweet expressing our condolences for the loss of Monty Oum, and I for one intend to honor that wish that we do something creative to honor his memory by continuing to make All The Tropes and Orain better places to be creative. - Logan Darklighter - 02-02-2015 GOD. DAMN. IT.

A million-to-one allergy. That's.... God. I - like everyone else - am stunned. Rest in peace Monty Oum. Thank you so much for everything you made for us and gave us. I just.... God. - Bob Schroeck - 02-03-2015 I think Logan's eloquence far exceeds mine at this point. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - ECSNorway - 02-03-2015 ... What Logan and David said. Fuck. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. - robkelk - 02-03-2015 He gave us a lot of good entertainment in the short time he was with us ... Bloody hell. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - Logan Darklighter - 02-03-2015 I've been an utterly bleak mood all day since I heard this... I finally remembered something - the perfect hook for my dark, BLACK anger. (for those not hip to the Latin, the translation is in white - just highlight it below.) Am I really to believe that these are the acts of a holy God? A just God? A wise God? To hell with your punishments. I was your servant here on Earth, your messenger. I did your work. To hell with your punishments. To hell with you! - Bob Schroeck - 02-03-2015 The page at GoFundMe is still active, and people are still donating in Monty's memory. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Angryoptimist - 02-03-2015 This is completely horrible. Heard about it on http://reddit.com//r/StardustCrusaders/comments/2ujzsg/ and I've been following the ripples throughout various communities. It's a bit of deja vu for me; I lost a friend a couple months ago, and he was in his early thirties too. There's a feeling of unreality. I just can't abide it, but there's really nothing I can do about it. 'll leave this beautiful eulogy post that Egoraptor wrote here. Two great tastes that go great together! - Dragonflight - 02-03-2015 I've got nothing. Just totally speechless. --- Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do. - Labster - 02-04-2015 The only way that this makes any logical sense to me, is if God desperately needed someone with superb world-building skills, given the fact that we're discovering a new exoplanet every day. Carry on Monty, wherever you are. We'll miss you. -- ∇×V - Cobalt Greywalker - 02-04-2015 Obituary from the New York Times today, online and in print. - Matrix Dragon - 02-05-2015 This was originally shown at the end of the podcast the other day. Still beautiful. |
