Brian Randall - 1/2014

[Rogh-sensei]

I think I'm still in shock. I don't know if the full import of this has hit me yet, but already it's weird thinking I won't see him logged into G+ or see any inbox notifications from his fanfic page again. I talked to him just the other day, he said he was changing jobs, getting out of the morass at his old gig. I said hi to him the morning he died.

Oh god. I might have set him on this path. Monday I posted him a link to an article that I thought he could work into Big Damn Hero.

I'm sorry Brian. You helped me more than you can know. I'll miss you.

I've been holding off on posting for a while, since I haven't really known what to say.

I'm mostly angry, at least at the moment. Angry at myself for missing the hints that he's been dropping for a while, angry at him for doing it at all. I want to smack him crosseyed for being so short-sighted and selfish, and then I just wish he was still here to smack around.

Brian, it was never, -never- a burden to 'put up with you'. Who am I going to spin ideas with now?

Seriously going to miss you, man.

[Bjorn]

Brian and I had drifted apart since I moved away from the States; no falling out, just the problems of finding time to speak.  For all the times we had together, I couldn't tell you the last time we had a chat.  Now I know we'll never speak again.

Goodbye, Brian.  I hope you find the peace you always deserved.

Man, this is depressing. I'd always had a thought in the back of my mind that I'd finally getting around to automating the Lost Library of Florestica, and he'd be able to post his stories there again.

As it stands, I fully intend to keep the site running until either I run out of money to pay for it, or I die myself. That way, he can live on through his fan fiction in the Library for as long as I do.

I didn't know Brian as well as I might have, but I enjoyed his work over the years. He will be missed by his friends and remembered for the legacy he left behind.

My condolences
To family and close friends.
He is being missed.

Will someone be able to add this last update to his webpages?  One last blog or change to his profile description.  Not everyone who has interacted with him uses this forum.

[Anastasia]

Drac mentioned he'd be looking into updating Brian's webpage.

I'm really not sure what to say. You will be greatly missed Brian.
May you rest in peace.

GOD DAMMIT

About all I can manage to say here.

[Dracos]

To those wondering, yes when I can I'll update his webpage.

I was having troubles figuring out what to say, but I think Yuth pegged it pretty well. :(

Sadfaces.  Lots of sadfaces.

GOD DAMMIT

Yes, that seems to sum up my reactions perfectly.

God damn it, Brian. We're gonna miss you, you great brilliant moron.

[Ragnar]

Fuck.

I never really knew Brian other than mainly just talking with him on IRC, but he was a very talented and creative man and I will miss him.

[MonCapitan2002]

It is a shame that he died.  My condolences to his friends and family.

[Figment]

Well, that's a thing.

While I'm sad to see he's gone I really hope he finds what he's looking for.

Brian, you will be missed.
