Notable/Celebrity Deaths | Pope Francis (88)

[Moonface]

Huh, so I don't know exactly what stuff is his and isn't but apparently some/all of these were by Lynch: David Lynch | PS2 Commercials

This one definitely was by him though: 



I'm curious to find out if any of the magazine ads for the PS2 were by him or at least inspired by him or not.

Wayne June, Narrator for Darkest Dungeon, Has Passed Away

Oof, this one was unexpected to see and made me feel a little sad. His voice adds so much to Darkest Dungeon and I can't imagine the game without him. I don't know how old he was but I don't have the impression he was old.

As life ebbs, terrible vistas of emptiness reveal themselves.

[ShiraNoMai]

This was quite sad. I do hope his family finds peace with his passing. I'm happy he left such an amazing mark on the world. What a legacy.

[Moonface]

It's surprising to see a death reported in the news nowadays where no age nor cause of death is known or shared. Unless an obituary gets posted somewhere I have a feeling we'll never know the circumstances of his passing.

Victor Antonov, Art Lead for Half Life 2 and Dishonored, Has Passed Away at 52
Half-Life 2 art director and Dishonored designer Viktor Antonov has died aged just 52. The news was shared by Marc Laidlaw, a former writer for Valve:

I didn't want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died. I don't have details. Just sadness. Brilliant and original. Made everything better.

Antonov also worked/consulted on multiple notable games other than Half Life 2 and Dishonored, including Counter-Strike: Source, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Fallout 4, Dishonored 2, Doom, and Prey.

I wouldn't have probably posted this but it seems to have got a ton of attention on social media so I guess he was well known to a lot of people even if I haven't heard of him before myself. I've played and/or seen most of the games he's been part of, but I'm going to refrain from commenting on them in relation to his work/talent only because I don't know what was specifically his in all of those games and I'd like to try and give thoughts on what was his work in some form of specifics.
To pass at 52 is sad though; I get the feeling it's something sudden rather than an illness or something.

RIP . I've never played those games myself - but, it's tragic that he's died at such a young age.

My condolences to his friends and family.

I'd highly recommend checking out either Dishonored 2 or Prey, because I think the level design in those two games is some of the best I've experienced in terms of giving the player multiple choices on how to traverse areas and deal with enemies.

Man, rest in peace to a guy who made one of my favorite dark kids shows.

[Mr EliteL]

58, oof. I didn't watch Courage really, only knew of it. RIP to him though.

[Moonface]

Aww, you should consider checking it out some time if you can. It was like the slapstick of Scooby Doo but if every monster was actually real and poses a very real risk of actually killing Courage's owners if he doesn't do something.

I won't lie for some reason I thought this guy was already dead. I saw an image on social media tagged "The Pope died a day after meeting JD Vance" and wondered when that was because I couldn't remember the guy passing away; turns out I couldn't remember because it hadn't happened before today.

[Mr EliteL]

Not a bother to me about the Pope, they're usually old anyway and Francis had been about for a while, forgot he was unwell. RIP.

I didn't even know he was unwell in the first place.
