A good friend passed on Thanksgiving day.
He served in Vietnam and was exposed multiple times to Agent Orange which took his sight 20 years ago and then ate him up from the inside with cancer.
Rest easy, your service and memory will not be forgotten.

Happy birthday to the then-popular President Of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata!
He would have turned 61 years old today, and in the last five years, Nintendo has changed a lot since his passing.
To remember him in spirit, I want to play two well known interviews with his friends and protégés, Shigeru Miyamoto and Masashiro Sakurai. Those two were well known for giving us Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Smash Bros., etc.
Imagine caring about the death of some businessman 5 years later.

Iwata was one retarded fuckhead. Nintendo Wii was the stupidest thing to ever exist.

Goddamn. Usually I go 'aww' and then move on when a 'famous' person dies but Chuck Yeager was a goddamn American hero.
But we should all be so lucky to live to 97. And to have lived an incredible life in those 97 years, including breaking the sound barrier for the first time and then again at the age of 89/ God bless.
> On October 14, 2012, on the 65th anniversary of breaking the sound barrier, Yeager did it again at the age of 89, flying as co-pilot in a McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle piloted by Captain David Vincent out of Nellis Air Force Base.

Rest in peace Chuck Yeager.
The picture is Chuck Yeager (right) and Sam Shephard . Shepard portrayed Yeager in The Right Stuff and passed away in 2017.

I got to see him once. We didn’t meet, but at least I got to see the man. Had a huge impact on me as a little kid. He was a commentator for an air show, and he just kept bringing out the anecdotes! Yeager wasn’t stating facts, the man himself was fact.
Also, he busted Sam Shepherd and Levon Helm smoking pot, which had to have been one of the greatest moments in human history.

This is why I call him THE Chuck Yeager, instead of just Chuck Yeager. This man was the definition of “icon” in ways most young and old Americans can’t even imagine. I can’t even tell you who could actually step in Chuck’s shoes since you’d never hear what advances we had regarding aero plane engineering/technology.

Even here in Sweden he was an icon. for my dad generations, he was the coolest mofo ever. He had also a good opinion of the swedish fighter planes.

Years ago i downloaded and played the crap out of Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, a 1991 fighter simulator that featured Yeager's voice giving you advice and popping up to tell you "Congratulations - you got him!"

My sister and her husband met him in a restaurant, and said he was friendly and a class act.
