I thought this was some sick joke, but it isn't

My favorite president.

Condolence to his family

You could forgive the blunt wording, but not even posting a picture of Iwata? What the hell...?

That picture... does not go well with the headline.

Lets just leave it at that.

No, didn't want to hear this. Totally unexpected,..people don't understand how important this man was and was to be to Nintendo. Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata. Man,that ruined my evening. I can only wonder what it's like over in Japan. He was too young, and I wish he would have made the situation more open and not fake his wellness. Like Steve Jobs did. That stress will do something to your body. Man.... I just can't believe it.
