Aaron Carter, at 34 years of age. Reports are that he was found drowned in a bathtub, but the cause of death is still officially unconfirmed. He had been struggling with drug addiction in his adult life.
My 1CCs so I can find the list easier myself
<Despatche> you've been a thorn in the shmups community since the beginning, you're largely responsible for the horrible face of modern speedrunning

Kevin Conroy, voice of animated Batman.
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.
An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.
Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Cancer, age 66...too soon. Truly one of those performances that can be labeled "iconic" without hesitation.Mischief Maker wrote:Kevin Conroy, voice of animated Batman.

Shit, sorry mang. That goofy ass sketch has just always stuck with me.
You definitely left a bit of a void. Glad you're back in the 21st century.

Come to think of it, I posted his Prince cosplay around the time the man himself departed. Dave's too good.

It seems he had a series of unfortunate events leading up to it.

No - orders from top brass say we've got to hold out until 2024, when we'll be cleared for thread title change. Conserve, soldier, especially the TP (`w´メ)

Re: The Shmups.com Dead Pool
A lot of 80's musical icons are starting to fade away, she made her mark with Fame, a movie, then a series, and the theme song remained consistent between both, though I think only 1 or 2 cast members from the movie carried over to the series (a common theme when movies gets made into TV series).GaijinPunch wrote:80's singer Irene Cara died at age 63.

Re: The Shmups.com Dead Pool
Before we talk about the year maybe we want to focus on the misleading URL in the title? Has anyone been to the front page in the last 15 years?BIL wrote:No - orders from top brass say we've got to hold out until 2024, when we'll be cleared for thread title change.

Re: The Shmups.com Dead Pool
Okay that's weird. I guess it must have been the mods, but the first post says it was edited by NTSC-J on the 25th. But they're gone, right?GaijinPunch wrote:Before we talk about the year maybe we want to focus on the mids-leading URL in the title?

Anyways, the "now accepting" thing is gone from the title now so that's a moot point. I guess maybe the mods did that on the 25th and it ended up showing that NTSC-J did it idk.
Re: The Shmups.com Dead Pool
But you have to remember, with each passing year the world bids farewell to many of its beloved celebrities. Think of 2016 and 2020, for example.BIL wrote:No - orders from top brass say we've got to hold out until 2024, when we'll be cleared for thread title change.

Re: The Shmups.com Dead Pool
I don't plan on updating this thread anymore so I wanted to remove the year from the title so that the mods didn't have to update it. Also, the point of having the year in the first place was so people could post their lists of expected celebrity deaths for the coming year in the gallows humor tradition of a Dead Pool, but no one ever did and it's just been a thread for news posts, so I didn't think it necessary.vol.2 wrote:Okay that's weird.

Also, regarding Shmups.com being in the title, it's been like that from when I first posted the thread almost ten years ago, but I'll change it to Shmups Forum.

Haha - I was just nitpicking. If that's what it takes to get you to show up though, so be it!!! How goes it? We got all sorts of shit posting here you're missing out on.

Re: The Shmups Forum Dead Pool
I'm doing pretty well. Have you made it out here recently? Things are pretty grim as far as the nerd realm is concerned, with insane used game prices and all these arcades dying. I haven't been to Akihabara in ages, but the thought of seeing GiGO signs everywhere where Sega used to be doesn't sound real enticing. But at least the exchange rate is nice!GaijinPunch wrote:Haha - I was just nitpicking. If that's what it takes to get you to show up though, so be it!!! How goes it?

Clarence Gilyard Jr., best known for Sundown from Top Gun and Theo, one of Hans Gruber's terrorists from Die Hard, passed away at 66.

Ah, bless. He's so good in both. Those dudes who played vivid supporting roles in big moviestar-dominated blockbusters get all my love.
"Merry Christmas..."

I think he will mostly be remembered as the Matlock's lacky and Chuck Norris's lacky. But those small roles are definitely brighter moments for him.xxx1993 wrote:Clarence Gilyard Jr., best known for Sundown from Top Gun and Theo, one of Hans Gruber's terrorists from Die Hard, passed away at 66.

Re: The Shmups Forum Dead Pool
Going for Xmas... but as the government opened the flood gates and all the influencers make their way, my free tickets are semi-useless as it's a standby. As such, I'm going next week. I'll have to work fucked up hours the whole time. Egads. :-/ I usually just hang out with my son when I'm there. Last time was the spring and the ex-waifu is very Japaense when it comes to Covid so that meant I didn't see any of my friends until I was leaving (and stayed in my own airbnb). Not sure but it's likely to be similar this time.NTSC-J wrote: I'm doing pretty well. Have you made it out here recently?
This was a lot of my reasoning for leaving when I did, which is now a whopping 8 fucking years ago. Sheesh. I think even then Akihabara was more focused on pedophelia than games... definitely than retro games. There were a few niche corners but, just like when Super Hans smashed his car and decided to quit smoking crack, a little voice went off in my head and said "pack it in son, that's game".Things are pretty grim as far as the nerd realm is concerned, with insane used game prices and all these arcades dying. I haven't been to Akihabara in ages, but the thought of seeing GiGO signs everywhere where Sega used to be doesn't sound real enticing. But at least the exchange rate is nice!
