UPDATE:
A small update, it appears Robin was suffering from early stages of Parkinsons Disease.

“Robin spent so much of his life helping others. Whether he was entertaining millions on stage, film or television, our troops on the frontlines, or comforting a sick child — Robin wanted us to laugh and to feel less afraid.

Since his passing, all of us who loved Robin have found some solace in the tremendous outpouring of affection and admiration for him from the millions of people whose lives he touched. His greatest legacy, besides his three children, is the joy and happiness he offered to others, particularly to those fighting personal battles.

Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson's Disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly.

It is our hope in the wake of Robin’s tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid.”

Wow! O.o ...I definitely wasn't expecting that ...I thought that Zelda Williams alone was motivation enough for him to be alive ...well, I guess we can't really know what kind of life problems he was having.

Hope the family can pass by this phase well ...it's not easy, but is possible ..good luck to them all.

Man this is sad. He was such a great actor, albeit over the top many times. It is always sadder when it is a comedian that has died. Even worse is it being self-inflicted. Sadly, many people that like to make others laugh are in need of the same. You will be missed. :cry:

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
