Wow.
He has a special place in my memory because as a young college student I came across the Hellsing920 channel. It was the first time I ever watched a review show, and I enjoyed going through his backlog. I learned about Cheetahmen, remembered the Ren & Stimpy games, and watched his struggle with Snoopy successfully pole vaulting at the Olympics. I even remember him posting a specific additional video of him succeeding at something he'd failed at his entire childhood and adult life. (As I look at reuploads the Olympics video doesn't seem to be anywhere.)
Then his channel got flagged and deleted. He made a Geocities-looking site but stopped doing new videos and as far as I knew he disappeared from the internet forever. It was around this time that I heard people talk about the Nerd and I checked a video of his out, but he seemed wholely unfunny and uninteresting to me. But I came across Critic, which led me to TGWTG back when it was just him, Suede, Linkara, Film Brain, Spoony, and Benzaie.
A few years down the line I found out he went back to videos. But he was hanging around with the Busy Street guy and was doing reaction videos that seemed mean spirited, poorly made, and unfunny. Disinterested, I completely forgot about him until seeing his death mentioned in one of the other threads. Was going to make a thread for him titled "Speak Ill Of The Dead" to see if anyone had anything to say.
It's odd. Almost a decade of following nobodies eventually leading me here came from this guy. He was my first reviewer just like Chugga was my first let's player. I've got fond memories of the guy even if he probably sucked.
Seriously, though, how the crap do you die from a hernia?!
