Might also be a legal thing where they just aren't allowed to disclose anything even if they want to. Given how much of a workaholic he was, I wouldn't be shocked if it was an unchecked blood clot triggering a giant stroke or something to that effect. That'd count as a medical emergency, leave him in 'critical' condition, and they wouldn't know if he'd recover from it. He basically sat in his chair around the clock, right? Ross and Arin of Game Grumps flew out to Texas during the weekend and the photos posted seem pretty silly. I'm hoping that's because Monty's getting better and not because they're just trying to keep their spirits up. If his condition was getting worse, you'd figure the rest of the Grumps crew would've gone down, too. Having no news at all is awful. Just hearing 'yo, he's not going to die' would be nice at this point.

Well gently caress.quote:Our friend, inspiration and co-worker Monty Oum passed away yesterday afternoon at 4:34 PM surrounded by people who loved him very much. Ten days ago Monty suffered a severe allergic reaction during a simple medical procedure that left him in a coma. Although he fought bravely, his body was not able to recover. During his time in the hospital he was well cared for and never in pain at any time.

Looks like Rooster Teeth has a special podcast coming later today on YT. They've wisely chosen to disable chat for it. I wonder how much of RWBY's story the rest of the team knows, assuming they plan on continuing.

Covok posted:This live podcast is kind of hard to watch. It's four of his co-workers chatting about stories of Monty and his life. It's just kind of a big downer. He was unbelievably dedicated to his work, it seems. Burnie sounds like he's actively trying to make his voice not hitch. Wonder what's gonna happen to Ren...

HGH posted:Ross of GG wrote a post about his history with Monty. I didn't know much about the man but I enjoyed his creations even before I knew who he was, and he seemed like a really inspirational person. Sad to see him go. It must be awful for everyone involved. So did Arin. One thing you see and hear a lot in these is that Monty always wanted to push those around him towards whatever creative thing they had in their head but never started on for whatever reasons. From the above post: quote:Then I would tell him my goals, and my creative vision, and he would just tell me, “you can do it. You can pull that off, what are you afraid of? If it’s not good, whatever, at least you MADE something.” Not a single shred of doubt, just blunt but warm encouragement. Ross' post had something similar in it. Something to the effect of 'your project can't get better if you never start it.' He seemed to be able to generate that desire to create in people, even if he didn't know them well. I've never seen 'inspiration' as much as I have in these blog posts of people describing Monty.

Aw, man... Can't imagine how rough it's gonna be getting back into the swing of normal work after the last week and a half. At least it's over with, I guess. No more uncertainty. Waiting while he was in the coma must've been the worst loving thing in the world. Especially when trying to keep up appearances publicly.
