    He got recalled to the big nexus in the sky to fight off a cannon rush!
    He was a great person, the Starcraft community took a big loss. It won't be the same without him. Hope he's in a better place.
    RIP Geoff, iNcontroL.

    My favorite two memories of Geoff showed two different sides of him. One is when he casted together with 2GD and they started mercilessly ripping on each other. The other is one day while he was streaming Xcom 2 somebody donated 50 dollars to Geoff. He was so thankful and humble, it really showed what a kind guy he was. I agree that people could misjudge Geoff because of his boisterous mood and personality, we got to see a different side of him through his stream. I wish he'd gotten more time here with us.

    Oh man, the tears still! Grateful to watch as it helps my healing. Grateful it popped up as a recommendation. I was so deeply sad by Geoff's passing I couldn't watch SC2 for over a year. A friend reminded of gsl in August and I remembered why I didn't remember....no more InControl. I watched and continue to, cuz SC2 is part of my life therapy again.🙌
    I appreciate hearing your words and knowing about Geoff more through you. Mahalo nui loa. Rest in Aloha Geoff! A hui hou (till we meet again).💫🌺

    Two years on and I still miss him more than I can really put into words, and I didn't even get a chance to know the guy. He brought me back to esports and now I've been a semi-pro coach and am trying to start my own organization. Because of Geoff. Can't imagine what it's like for those of you who got the chance to know this man on a personal level.

    We love you Geoff, May you rest in peace.

    Even after this week since his passing, just seeing his face reminds me that we'll never see him again with his incredible humor and banter. It just doesn't seem real still. The entire esports scene lost a giant. My sincere condolences to his close friends and family. An absolute tragedy. Thank you, Nick.

    Totally shocked to hear this podcast. I don't get to spend as much time on my pc as I used to but I watched the SC2 Rog casts recently and couldn't understand why Geoff wasn't there. I found him to be very funny, knowledgeable and truly a great caster. Such a young age too. My heart goes out to anyone who knows Geoff and thank you so much for this Podcast Tasteless.
    Geoff you will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace.

    Thanks for sharing the memories Tasteless, take care of yourself and thank you (and Artosis) for the many hours of entertainment you've provided me over the last ten years. Even though I've never met you guys, you feel like friends, and I really appreciate the work you do.
    Rest easy Geoff, the world was a better place because of the light you brought into it.

    Thanks for this Tasteless. I've been mulling over Geoff's death for the past week and it's been weird and hard. I never met or knew Geoff, but I felt like I knew him more than any TV/movie celebrity that I've seen a hundred times. Such was his power and perspective in the community. His death, coupled with two other deaths in my close relations recently, have been hard to process. But your thoughts and tributes are comforting. As someone Geoff's age, it's given me a new perspecitve on life.
    Also, yes, go and seek the help you need. It's not weird, it's vital and important.

    will never forget the day this happened, it was a really really really hot day and i had to walk about a mile and a half up a 20 degree inclined hill to get to a mechanic's shop to pick up my car after an oil change and they made me wait 4 hours longer than they said it would be ready by so i found a shady area in a park nearby and sat down for the entire duration. my phone was on low battery so i didn't use it much because I was expecting a call from the shop. not many thoughts went through my head during those 4 hours. I just sat.

    @KrossFire330 5 років тому +5

    Great tribute man. The more I learn about Geoff the more I realize what a force of nature the guy was. One thing that's crazy to me it's how he would mention wanting to "get into" comedy like open mics and stuff like that. I know he had a lot of other things going on, but it sometimes seemed like he didn't feel like he was funny enough to do those things, despite the fact he was one of the most hilarious people in the entire esports scene and already had thousands of fans who loved him for the brand of comedy he was already bringing to everything else he did.
    I will miss him a lot and lately have just been getting sort of frustrated when I see his face online now. The whole thing just seems so unfair and wrong that he's gone. I don't want to make his passing into a statement or anything, because there were obviously a lot of variables at play, but I just can't understand how an otherwise healthy and fit 33 year old man, surrounded by support and people who love him, could pass from something that should have been detectable and treatable. I feel like part of it was a systemic failure, and terrible luck. Hindsight is 20/20, sure, but I wish so bad this had been prevented.
    I only knew Geoff from watching him online, but I feel like that was enough to know that he wouldn't want us allowing his departure to keep us from the things we love doing, but I just haven't been able to look at Starcraft the same since he's been gone, it makes me too sad to even boot up the game right now.
    Much love to tasteless and artosis, as well as everyone else who lost a friend and a brother.

    Watched him compete through SC2 release, hadn't heard of him before.
    When he became a caster in NASL it was the best pound for pound laughs outside of Comedy Central,
    Watched his stream a number of times but it never really caught with me. Then he died.
    Pretty much around that moment I realized just how much of an awesome person I was lucky to see.
    He's still my SC2 announcer, a god, more than that, an amazingly funny person. Never met him, still miss him.

    Thanks for bringing up the misconception people had of him as a bully.

It was all entertainment value

    I only really became a big fan of Geoff through his rollplay games with JP.

He will be missed, but I'm glad to come back to vids like this and day9's just to remember Geoff.

He seemed like a wonderful person and a true entertainer, I really liked him. Rest in peace Geoff.
