“The quality of your writing is absolutely capped at your understanding of human behavior. You will never write above what you know about people.”

God, that's awful. I'm so sorry to his family and everyone who was close to and worked with him. Tragic loss.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Fear not this night, Jim. Thanks for enriching our world. You are missed.
We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Ward, the unforgettable voice of Tybalt Leftpaw and other characters in Guild Wars 2. His warmth and talent brought Tybalt to life and into our hearts. We’re grateful for his work and his legacy in Tyria. Thank you, Jim.

So incredibly happy for the Guild Wars Reforged team right now. Who would have imagined a 20 year old game would make in the top 10 on Steam's top selling list.
