I hope whenever I kill myself someone thinks I was assassinated.
lol
Re: The Shmups.com 2013 Dead Pool
Because of this statement, when you get assassinated it will get called a suicidemesh control wrote:I hope whenever I kill myself someone thinks I was assassinated.
Also, the person in that article above is a prime example of somebody who will shoot a family member at 2 AM in the dark because they thought they heard a fed.

Just write all over your body with marker the names of people you don't like. That way, regardless of you die, they will be suspected of having a hand in your demise. Trolling from beyond the grave.mesh control wrote:I hope whenever I kill myself someone thinks I was assassinated.

Re: The Shmups.com 2013 Dead Pool
So I guess putting a list of who you think will pass away this year is off limits?
I've been going through all of the Doctor Whos recently and it occurred to me that Tom Baker is one of the oldest out of the lot if not THE oldest. Somehow I have a bad feeling he's going next.

good article on his passing: http://wsws.org/en/articles/2013/01/15/swar-j15.htmlNTSC-J wrote:Reddit co-founder Aaron Swartz committed suicide
Makes the connection between his suicide and mounting legal pressures from usgov. You don't need overt conspiracy/assassination to ruin a person's life.

People seemed pretty offended when I did it last year, but feel free. I got two of my ten guesses correct (Whitney Houston and Joe Paterno).BPzeBanshee wrote:So I guess putting a list of who you think will pass away this year is off limits?
Pauline Phillips, known for her "Dear Abby" advice column, died at the age of 94.

Re: The Shmups.com 2013 Dead Pool
To play the Dead Pool game...I can't list 10, only 1 for now Emeli Sandé age 25. Predicted age of demise -> 27 or 28.
The music industry's 27 Club of course.
~BUT there's a lesser known 28 Clown Club, currently populated by Heath Ledger and Brandon Lee.
Miss Sande recently released "Clown".
Sounds strange but if you know anything about Professor Griff from Public Enemy, then you'll understand.

Re: The Shmups.com 2013 Dead Pool
Wow, what. That's a name in manga I'll never forget, used to occupy the translation credits of most of the stuff I grew up reading and every volume of Blade of the Immortal; the quality of which I largely put down to his express understanding of the language.Pyongyang wrote:Manga translator and Studio Proteus founder Toren Smith is brown bread.

...And he's died before finishing the final volume (possibly.)
He's even in Gunbuster!
What happened?

Re: The Shmups.com 2013 Dead Pool
Dunno what happened but he was a true legend in the manga and translation circles. I've read loads of his stuff over the years. Didn't he do the Dirty Pair manga too?
I guess our very own blackoak will have to fill those enormous shoes Toren Smith has left behind. Over to you blackoak...
