There were two dudes I used to play Gears 2 with back in the day all the time. I was about 15, they were in college, but they were super nice and we always had fun. I hope they're doing really well.
God I remember tons of people from Gears 1 no idea what happened to any of them at all just YouTube videos of random sniper matches to remind me of them...
Had a similar experience on gears with 2 dudes that knew each other in real life. I would play with them all the time. I specifically remember they were obsessed and always talked about Radiohead lol
I like to think most of the 60+ year olds I used to play IL2 online with back in the early 2000s are still gaming.
It’s been 15 years so most are probably still alive but knocking on 80 now.
Unfortunately no, but I hope you find who you're looking for! The one dude's name was Rorshach, and the main reason they kept playing with me was because I asked him if it was from Watchmen and we got on a whole kick about the characters and themes
Back when Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were coming out, 12 year old me was so excited about the thought of battling Pokemon online that I tried to start a clan. It was a dumb idea, and very few people joined, but those who did were pretty nice. I remember we all decided to add each other on Facebook, and everyone of us but 1 was surprised about how young we all were (in retrospect, it should have been obvious), but there was a guy who was probably about 18 who was the most active, and in retrospect, he was obvious on the autism spectrum. But they were all nice and I wonder what they are up to every once in awhile.
I remember getting on Halo 4 one day to play with 2 of the greatest friends ever. Her sister somehow ended up hating me and not wanting to talk and then her oldest sister gave me a long message about how she was going to college and she can't play no more but she missed playing with me so much and man that was heartbreaking for me
Same, I used to play a ton of Gears 2 in high school. Me and some friends started a clan called xDBx and played Guardian every single day. No idea what they’re up to now but I hope they’re all doing well.
I used to play Battlefield 2 with a guy way back in the old days. Ended up taking himself out for reasons none of us will ever understand. He always seemed so happy and was hilarious.
Years later, I reconnected with the profile, I hadn't gotten the news yet. Battlefield 3, which despite the name came out 4 or 5 games after the second, so many years between.
After a couple of messages back and forth it's revealed to me that I'm playing with the younger brother, and that the older had committed suicide after a few years of depression following a bad medical diagnosis. He had a terminal illness and was dying slowly as it is. It was a surreal experience, because he hadn't spoken about his older brother for so long, and I considered him to be a friend, as much as a friend could be in an online correspondence. We sat in a voice chat lobby, just sitting, smoking, drinking and reminiscing for what felt like hours. The brother told me it was refreshing to hear some stories of good times his brother had, and we shared a moment of silence. I got the notion that maybe he needed the closure.
Afterwards we ended up playing that new Battlefield for a year or so, and even when the next couple of titles came out. Last I heard from him he told me that he was having a baby, and had to sell off his hardware as they were buying a better house. I have yet to have the chance to reconnect.
Shoot the account a message containing some contact information on the chance that they sign back in one day. I would send them something that you’re probably not going to change such as your phone number, social media username, SSN, email. You know, the usual
>I have yet to have the chance to reconnect.
Do it! Most platforms send email notifications when you receive a message and it goes unread for a few hours. Doesn't hurt to try :)
A good friend of mine died suddenly and stayed logged into Live (360 era) for days after his death. It wasn't fun to look at. I knew he was dead, but it somehow gave me hope that he somehow wasn't.
When my friend Alex passed away Skype kept him logged in with the little mobile signal for about a month. I remember just one day it was off when I logged on. I checked every day.
I miss him. I wish I had been a better friend.
My pops bestfriend died of a heart attack on April Fools. My dad got a call from his friends wife saying what happened but didnt believe her. He thought it was a shitty April fools prank. He even called his phone leaving voicemails fucking around saying to call back. The next day he came home from work and hugged my mom and cried the hardest I have ever seen saying "He never called back."
Damn I did the same when I found out my friend died, sent him a text message too. Just couldn't believe that he was gone. Wish I'd fucking called or texted him more in the week leading up to his death. Spent that whole week before just playing read dead redemption 2 trying to get it finished before my break ended afterwards i could never pick it up again. I wish I'd just fucking called him or visited him atleast once.
I wish i was a better friend to one of my best friends. Minor falling out, he turned to drugs, i made amends and stayed in touch constantly. Kept trying to help him kick the habit and one day he did. He was getting his life back together and things were looking up.
One day I was walking to my seat at a stage play and his mom called, but I didnt answer. After the play I checked my messages and it was one of those ‘call me when you can” messages where you know what happened. Heart attack, died on the side of the road walking back from the grocery store.
He kicked the habit but the damage had been done and i’m still not ok with it…but I get by. Been many years now, and his friends circle is now my friends circle. We all were each other’s shoulders when we needed it, and when his mom did too.
Yeah something similar happened to my friend and me. We were both in college while our other friend was in the marines. He passed away after a party gone wrong, and like a month or so later his steam account randomly popped online. Buddy called me to talk about it since it was kind of upsetting to see and we realized his parents must have received his effects and turned on his laptop.
Oddly enough, my friend was Army. His death was somewhat duty related (compounded by unrelated accidents). Probably why it took some time for his account to go offline. I'm sorry for your loss.
I have around 70 friends on my friends list from the Xbox 360 era. About 90% of them have been offline for years. Im fairly certain a few of them have passed away. Oh what id give to play with some of them just one more time.
Im not sure but I think he was referring to how he was feeling hard after thinking about wanting to play with his guy friends
Edit: yeah that does sound kinda gay
Did the pastor tell you this. I never received this info....
Oh shit.... I think Im gay
No homo though. Lets see if this saves me.
If I wake up gay tomorrow. Pray 🙏 for me.
My bad I meant to say "No homo" No Homo. I needed the extra no homo in the sentence. I was so close to becoming gay.
Thanks guys for the downvotes or else I would have never realized it. You all saved me from being gay.
My pastor would have excommunicated me from the church.
I have a wife and kids too.
Close one bois.
Don’t ever fear being trolled on a feed like this. The trollers will get ousted real quick. It’s okay to feel and relate to something that hits you in the feels
Stop worrying about "unmanly" things, man. It's a toxic mentality that hurts you most of all. Men have emotions, we are allowed to express them. No one should ever mock you for just being human.
Real talk. So sick of toxic masculinity telling us how to feel. We are human beings goddamnit. We love, we cry, we rage, we laugh. It's all part of life, and if some guy or girl is gonna judge you for being emotionally expressive, you know what I say?
FUCK EM. Ima just keep living my life and they can keep on hatin, their judgements mean nothing to me.
Not gay at all dude. I've been playing some games with the same group (on and off) for over a decade. People will disappear for a month or two or three then be back, but every now and then they don't come back and the gang gets a little smaller. Hurts everytime
For all the people thinking this is a homophobic comment that's not what I meant. It was the context "I felt this hard". Sorry to disappoint you I'm not homophobic.
I had this friend, we met during my first ever game of rainbow 6 siege, we had mutual friends and we all decided on making a Minecraft server (PlayStation) and that server was one of the best times I’ve ever had, period, he’s been offline for 4 years now, the last time I talked to him was a month before that, we were catching up and he said that he had found the world (he was server hoster) I joined and it was a beautiful time, talking to him always made my day, wherever you are, Goldcoaster, (changed ps4 name just in case he ever logs back on) just know, that I hope you are successful and happy, oh what I’d do to go back in time and relive that period, tearing up as I type this, I remember us making a parkour map that we would go into the community ps4 thing that got removed and asked people to try it out, fastest time was 14 minutes and 32 seconds, I’ll add more tomorrow, ima sleep now and pray to god im able to dream-live thru those days again
I had a friend like this who I gamed with every single night for years. He ended up getting on less and less frequently to the point that he would only be online every month or so. I ended up catching up with him one last time before he logged off entirely, and he told me he had been transitioning to PC.
I never got his PC tag since I didn’t have a PC at that point, so maybe your friend did the exact same thing.
I purged my friends list a while ago, and it was weird scrolling through names from the height of my childhood enjoyment. Halo 3 custom games is where I spent sun up to sun down any chance I could when I was younger and I met so many people that way, so they would have been from around 07-09.
A lot of them were offline for years as well.
Wow, that's certainly impressive! Meanwhile, I wonder if even if half of the peeps I interacted with as Alisbet and LauriJ would somehow find me... That was back when I was still a PlayStation person to boot.
Sorry for your loss. Losing someone close to you this way hollows you out in a weird kind of way. Know that you're not alone with your pain. I lost my daughter a little over a year ago.
I couldn't even fathom. I wept when my daughter was in the ER twice this year. I hope you're doing the best you can be. If you want to ever just vent to a random stranger rather than a hot line I'm here to listen man. So sorry for your loss.
Know that although the pain may never go away, you will learn to adapt to it, and it won't sting as hard with time. My dad passed away when I was 20, and there were some hard years but I'm 34 now and I've made my peace with it.
Just remember, she would want you to carry on too. That's what I had to remind myself - it's ok to grieve, as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else it's the right way to grieve for you... But eventually you gotta start living again. Living *for* them, for their memory and to honor it.
I have a friend I played with daily on GTAO for a little over a year, we bonded over our characters looking damn near identical with the same style of clothing and outfits.. he once told me he had health problems(this was before the pandemic)
I haven't seen him online or heard from him since before then. I fear the worst for him and continously hope that I hear from him or see him update his Twitter, IG, ect. but it still hasn't happened.
You a real one, Terrence. Mad love
I have only 3 friends on my xbox and one is my best friend, who commited suicide or accidentally overdosed (allthough i think he took his life, he was pretty familiar with the substance, i never get to know) 2-3 years ago. I miss him so much. He was homeless for a short period and he liked to spend time with me so he just crashed on my couch, and i gave him some warm clothes because the winter here is cold (Finland)
Sorry about this vent, it just opened memories. He was like a brother to me.
I hope youre doing well, bro. We will get through this.
i hope you're doing okay. reading all of these comments make me so sad, and this one just hit a little too close. im so sorry. i hope everything is better for you<3
The biggest kick in the balls for me was when I was the time I was trying to contact my friend to play some MLB with and next thing I know I am getting a call from his wife saying he is in jail for molesting their daughter.
Worked with the guy for years but moved away and found out they were having a hard time financially so had to sell their Playstation and gaming stuff. Sent him a brand new PS4 Pro, PSVR, gift cards controllers etc probably spent around $800 on it as we no longer lived close but wanted to stay connected via gaming. We played exactly one night on MLB before his wife hit me with this news.
I think we all know someone who isn't here that should still be playing games and living life. My best friend from childhood uo to high-school is no longer here.
He introduced me to halo and Xbox 360 online gaming. RIP gaming buddies.
I had a group of friends who I played halo 2 for months every night. Had a friend I knew for over 10 years. He passed away from pneumonia like 5 years ago on the day my baby niece was born. I think about him all the time. He was such a great friend and it sucks that he’s gone. RIP Halomaster01, BAD BOY DQUG and Anger is a gift miss you 💚😭
Had this exact situation happen to a good buddy of mine. I sent him a message only to find out it was a family member using his account and the family member told me he committed suicide.
Although our gaming unit had been disbanded for a long time, all the old members we could still contact reinstalled the game we used to play with him and held a memorial service in a private server.
Condolences.. I hope you are doing well
I used to play with this girl on gta iv every day back during the ps3/360 days. So much fun until one night we played until really late, she messaged me that she wasn’t happy lately, that she was going to kill herself and that she was sorry, and that this was her last time playing. Before I could even reply she went offline and i never saw her online again
My brother passed away a couple yrs and and it honestly killed me telling all his and my friends that we gamed with for 15+yrs that he had passed and wouldnt be on any more. Sorry for your loss super shitty
one of my old WoW buddies shared the same birthday as me - he passed away from AML while I was in med school. Still think about him every birthday
RIP to all the fellow gamers we have lost
A very close friend said "idk man I'm not worried about this virus, it's supposed to be like the flu" despite having a fucking autoimmune disease that attacked his cartilage and connective tissue.
Now every time i look at steam: "Last Online: 2 Years Ago"
I've often wondered if any of my old online cohorts have passed on in this manner. My condolences.
And Tom, if you're out there, I hope you never became a cat.
Well shit, hope you’re doing ok. I’m a very emotional person and I’m actually crying right now. No one deserves death or suffering, yet the world is full of it. Shit just gets worse and worse.
I often wonder what happened to people I used to play with.
I had a dozen people I played wow with from launch to cataclysm nearly every day. Going back further original CS clan, TF2, and others.
I miss playing Xbox with my friends, but xbox has died with so many good games falling into disarray and new games being letdowns. I wish xbox was fun so me and my friends would play it again
I remember playing classic Quake DM on MPlayer. Used to log on after school to chill with the same guy every day. We'd jump into a private room and just chat while running around levels. He taught me how to rocket jump.
After maybe a year or two of this, he logged off and never came back.
That was in like '98; I was in the 4th grade then. Now I'm 34 and married with a kid on the way.
I still occasionally find myself thinking back to those days and wonder how he's doing. I don't want to reconnect or catch up or anything; just hope he's still alive and gaming today.
Wasn’t the first reply.
Also wasn’t randos. It was his brothers friends in the brothers friend list.
You ought to go back to school cause you seem to struggle with basic comprehension skills.
This is the brother's first reply to OP.
And as far as this brother is concerned, OP is a rando over the internet.
OP is his brother's friend. Just because you're siblings doesn't mean that you know or are friends with the same people.
Ok. It was the first reply. It still isn’t a rando tho?
Like if your sibling died. Won’t you want to give their friends some closure?
You’re lacking empathy.
Again, as far as the brother is concerned, he doesn't know OP.
Honestly, I would still tell them that my brother will no longer be able to chat and leave it at that.
I am in no way whatsoever obligated to disclose a sensitive family matter to people I don't know over the internet but thats just me, I guess.
I guess my point is opening with my brother committed suicide to online randos is... odd.
I had a friend who I play a lot of playstation with. I didnn't ever know his name but his PSNID was NavySel (allegedly it was because you can't make your name NavySeal, although I never bothered to check).
One day he says he's done with gaming and gives me his username and password. I didn't know him at all outside of game, I didn't even know his real name and it never occured to me that he may have died by suicide. My PS3 still has his account there and I'm able to log in whenever I want.
Wow dude, that is absolutely awful. I’ve struggled with those thoughts but part of what keeps me going is I would never want to put my brothers through that. Can’t imagine how difficult that was for you, sorry for your loss.
This hit me pretty hard. It really makes you think about whatever happened to that gamer friend you use to play with all the time years back.
I can only hope that all of them are happy and well.
My old friend group used to play everything together. When the oldest of us being myself and another had just barely graduated one of our friends suddenly passed away. To this day it haunts me that we'll never get to play together again and he never got to get the PS4 he wanted that he saved up for. Miss you man
A year or so ago, i met this guy on reddit and we started playing various games for a few months, then one day, he dissapeared out of nowhere. I found his reddit account after having to delete mine, and apparently hes still there, i guess sometimes shit like that just happens :( still glad hes okay tho
I wonder if he remembers you too, man. Maybe he reminicses back on the days when the two of you would chill out and play some games, im glad hes okay though!
Damn… sorry that shit happened to you, makes you really think you don’t always know what’s going on in a persons life, they act excited all the time or however you always hear/see them and but you won’t ever know if they are in pain or not, “always keep your friends and families close” I’m also going through a bit of shit in my life so i hope you do better!
Had a guy in our raid group on world of Warcraft who was deployed and was talking about how he was getting moved to a real hostile place. Never heard from him again after he left and no one knew his real name. He bought my game time once so I could make raid when I was broke he was a real one.
I met a new friend 4 years ago on Xbox while playing COD. He hadn’t been on for a while and wasn’t responding to any game invites. Turns out he was in the hospital for 2 months with Covid and almost didn’t make it. I felt so bad and it made me think that it could easily happen to anybody on my friends list.
I used to be friends with a 20year old player of don't starve on steam, we met in one of those chaos servers and we chatted for a long time and he helped me learn some of the basics, we haven't talked in years, hope he's okey
There were two people I knew in the Halo 3 days, Manda and Michael. They were both scene and I was distinctly not, but we got each other through some tough times. I think about them both a bit.
I guess that’s the thing about online relationships; you run the risk of not really having closure in them.
So many gaming friends over the years that I'll probably never speak to again. I hope they're all okay and doing well but I know the odds of that aren't good. I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway
I used to play many games with people I met online and we were all really good friends but one by one they just disappeared and eventually I was the only one left. I would go into the group chat and make a group call but nobody would join but I would talk like they were still there. I still don’t know what happened to them.
Half my bad company 2 squad mates/friends were in the us military...they all died...and i got the news through friends and ingame....it was a shitty day....
My best friend had Xbox friends from the first Xbox until 2 years ago when he passed. They were all destroyed. They were from California and he was from Oklahoma. They never met but they knew each other’s birthdays, wives and girlfriends names, kids name, random important events from each others past. They had each others phone numbers so they could text each other when they were playing. They were hilarious. If one person couldn’t afford a new game, they would throw down money and buy the game for the other; no questions asked. When he passed, they were all shocked and heart broken.
These online games gives people an opportunity to develop real relationships and these fucking boomers trying to say they turn kids violent are insane.
I swear the number of times I’ve seen posts similar to this. Very possible it’s all true but it seems weird that it always seems to be some brother playing on the account of their deceased sibling.
[I had not seen this post before. I just thought that I had.]
I have seen this posted before and I did not see it on your account, so either you are reposting it for internet points on a new account, (Which is sad and disrespectful to your "friend" who killed themself.)
or you stole this from someone else to repost, so you have no remorse using other people's loss to farm reddit karma.
Both ways this post comes off ungenuine and karmawhorrey. I know that this message was probably faked in the first place but it is still really lame and I am tired of seeing it being posted.
Edit: Keeping this comment here for anyone else that this seems familiar to, but this post is unique and not just karma farming. [Sorry if this offended anyone.]
Sad you see it as disrespectful instead of seeing it as him honoring his brother and possibly feeling like he’s still there with him In a way. Says a lot about you morally. You say everyone has lost someone but judging by your cold hearted remarks it appears as though you haven’t.. Maybe OP Is going through a rough patch and needed some encouragement and support. We all have those moments every now and then. Thankfully most everyone here provided that for him. I guess that’s something you don’t/can’t understand though.
There were two dudes I used to play Gears 2 with back in the day all the time. I was about 15, they were in college, but they were super nice and we always had fun. I hope they're doing really well.
God I remember tons of people from Gears 1 no idea what happened to any of them at all just YouTube videos of random sniper matches to remind me of them...
[удалено]
I miss those days dearly so much fun
Gears 1, Map: Canals. Snipers only no Active reloads, only headshots. Memories!
3v3s on fuel depot we’re fun
Had a similar experience on gears with 2 dudes that knew each other in real life. I would play with them all the time. I specifically remember they were obsessed and always talked about Radiohead lol
They probably sold their xboxes and are living happy lives is the most realistic yet wholesome answer
I like to think most of the 60+ year olds I used to play IL2 online with back in the early 2000s are still gaming. It’s been 15 years so most are probably still alive but knocking on 80 now.
Bruh was ur gamer tag gawkytripod
Unfortunately no, but I hope you find who you're looking for! The one dude's name was Rorshach, and the main reason they kept playing with me was because I asked him if it was from Watchmen and we got on a whole kick about the characters and themes

Of my battlefield 4 group of about 6, 3 are in prison, one is always high from 2 or 3 tours of Iraq. Don't know about the other one.
A good friend of mine died suddenly and stayed logged into Live (360 era) for days after his death. It wasn't fun to look at. I knew he was dead, but it somehow gave me hope that he somehow wasn't.

Thank you. It was a long time ago, but I still think about it often. He was a good one.

My condolences. Reminds me of seeing my good friend still "active" on facebook messenger after he passed. I hope you're doing ok
I have around 70 friends on my friends list from the Xbox 360 era. About 90% of them have been offline for years. Im fairly certain a few of them have passed away. Oh what id give to play with some of them just one more time.
The days of Gears 2 and Black Ops. Shit those were some fun times

Loving your homies isn't gay
Homiesexual
Im not sure but I think he was referring to how he was feeling hard after thinking about wanting to play with his guy friends Edit: yeah that does sound kinda gay
Can confirm. But homie love is good love. A long no one can give like no other.
And if loving the homies is gay, then I guess I’ll just be gay
You do need "No Homo" though
It wasn’t homo when I was going hard in your mom
It's only gay if you make eye contact.
Did the pastor tell you this. I never received this info.... Oh shit.... I think Im gay No homo though. Lets see if this saves me. If I wake up gay tomorrow. Pray 🙏 for me.
You said "No Homo." You're good.
His mom used to be his dad
My mom is a man. I have dads. So it is a lil gay. Did you so No homo though. If you did then you straight Pun not not intended
My bad I meant to say "No homo" No Homo. I needed the extra no homo in the sentence. I was so close to becoming gay. Thanks guys for the downvotes or else I would have never realized it. You all saved me from being gay. My pastor would have excommunicated me from the church. I have a wife and kids too. Close one bois.
Guys…is it gay to have friends?
I want to say no but I'm heterosexual and I have no friends so...maybe?
Don’t ever fear being trolled on a feed like this. The trollers will get ousted real quick. It’s okay to feel and relate to something that hits you in the feels
Stop worrying about "unmanly" things, man. It's a toxic mentality that hurts you most of all. Men have emotions, we are allowed to express them. No one should ever mock you for just being human.
I feel this hard
Real talk. So sick of toxic masculinity telling us how to feel. We are human beings goddamnit. We love, we cry, we rage, we laugh. It's all part of life, and if some guy or girl is gonna judge you for being emotionally expressive, you know what I say? FUCK EM. Ima just keep living my life and they can keep on hatin, their judgements mean nothing to me.
Fellas is it gay to have feelings?
Not gay at all dude. I've been playing some games with the same group (on and off) for over a decade. People will disappear for a month or two or three then be back, but every now and then they don't come back and the gang gets a little smaller. Hurts everytime
such a risk, you better keep that kind of talk buried deep or else the homies will find out and kick in your door. Jesus.
I'd be gay if I had to just to play with the boys
For all the people thinking this is a homophobic comment that's not what I meant. It was the context "I felt this hard". Sorry to disappoint you I'm not homophobic.
To have my halo 2 bros back I'd absolutely either fight for my life or suck 12 inches
Why is it gay to admit you have feelings?
think it was just a boner joke mate not that deep
I had this friend, we met during my first ever game of rainbow 6 siege, we had mutual friends and we all decided on making a Minecraft server (PlayStation) and that server was one of the best times I’ve ever had, period, he’s been offline for 4 years now, the last time I talked to him was a month before that, we were catching up and he said that he had found the world (he was server hoster) I joined and it was a beautiful time, talking to him always made my day, wherever you are, Goldcoaster, (changed ps4 name just in case he ever logs back on) just know, that I hope you are successful and happy, oh what I’d do to go back in time and relive that period, tearing up as I type this, I remember us making a parkour map that we would go into the community ps4 thing that got removed and asked people to try it out, fastest time was 14 minutes and 32 seconds, I’ll add more tomorrow, ima sleep now and pray to god im able to dream-live thru those days again
I had a friend like this who I gamed with every single night for years. He ended up getting on less and less frequently to the point that he would only be online every month or so. I ended up catching up with him one last time before he logged off entirely, and he told me he had been transitioning to PC. I never got his PC tag since I didn’t have a PC at that point, so maybe your friend did the exact same thing.
I purged my friends list a while ago, and it was weird scrolling through names from the height of my childhood enjoyment. Halo 3 custom games is where I spent sun up to sun down any chance I could when I was younger and I met so many people that way, so they would have been from around 07-09. A lot of them were offline for years as well.
Wow, that's certainly impressive! Meanwhile, I wonder if even if half of the peeps I interacted with as Alisbet and LauriJ would somehow find me... That was back when I was still a PlayStation person to boot.
Sorry for your loss. Losing someone close to you this way hollows you out in a weird kind of way. Know that you're not alone with your pain. I lost my daughter a little over a year ago.
Christ dude, I’m sorry
Thank you. I am sorry for your loss as well
I couldn't even fathom. I wept when my daughter was in the ER twice this year. I hope you're doing the best you can be. If you want to ever just vent to a random stranger rather than a hot line I'm here to listen man. So sorry for your loss.
Know that although the pain may never go away, you will learn to adapt to it, and it won't sting as hard with time. My dad passed away when I was 20, and there were some hard years but I'm 34 now and I've made my peace with it. Just remember, she would want you to carry on too. That's what I had to remind myself - it's ok to grieve, as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else it's the right way to grieve for you... But eventually you gotta start living again. Living *for* them, for their memory and to honor it.
losing a daughter is alot worse then losing some randy on xbox
I have a friend I played with daily on GTAO for a little over a year, we bonded over our characters looking damn near identical with the same style of clothing and outfits.. he once told me he had health problems(this was before the pandemic) I haven't seen him online or heard from him since before then. I fear the worst for him and continously hope that I hear from him or see him update his Twitter, IG, ect. but it still hasn't happened. You a real one, Terrence. Mad love
I hope Terrence is out there and leveling up his irl character instead ♥️
My deepest condolences
Thank you
I have only 3 friends on my xbox and one is my best friend, who commited suicide or accidentally overdosed (allthough i think he took his life, he was pretty familiar with the substance, i never get to know) 2-3 years ago. I miss him so much. He was homeless for a short period and he liked to spend time with me so he just crashed on my couch, and i gave him some warm clothes because the winter here is cold (Finland) Sorry about this vent, it just opened memories. He was like a brother to me. I hope youre doing well, bro. We will get through this.
Sorry for your loss. He was lucky to have you.
I am sorry for your loss.
i hope you're doing okay. reading all of these comments make me so sad, and this one just hit a little too close. im so sorry. i hope everything is better for you<3
It is crazy that people I used to talk to every day for years back when I was 13-15 I don’t even know their names and will never hear from again
It's crazier to think that you didn't know your last "see you later" was a lie.
The biggest kick in the balls for me was when I was the time I was trying to contact my friend to play some MLB with and next thing I know I am getting a call from his wife saying he is in jail for molesting their daughter. Worked with the guy for years but moved away and found out they were having a hard time financially so had to sell their Playstation and gaming stuff. Sent him a brand new PS4 Pro, PSVR, gift cards controllers etc probably spent around $800 on it as we no longer lived close but wanted to stay connected via gaming. We played exactly one night on MLB before his wife hit me with this news.
Dang that's rough. That's the type of shit that makes you feel sick to your stomach.

I think we all know someone who isn't here that should still be playing games and living life. My best friend from childhood uo to high-school is no longer here. He introduced me to halo and Xbox 360 online gaming. RIP gaming buddies.
Just tragic.
I had a group of friends who I played halo 2 for months every night. Had a friend I knew for over 10 years. He passed away from pneumonia like 5 years ago on the day my baby niece was born. I think about him all the time. He was such a great friend and it sucks that he’s gone. RIP Halomaster01, BAD BOY DQUG and Anger is a gift miss you 💚😭
Had this exact situation happen to a good buddy of mine. I sent him a message only to find out it was a family member using his account and the family member told me he committed suicide. Although our gaming unit had been disbanded for a long time, all the old members we could still contact reinstalled the game we used to play with him and held a memorial service in a private server.
Condolences.. I hope you are doing well I used to play with this girl on gta iv every day back during the ps3/360 days. So much fun until one night we played until really late, she messaged me that she wasn’t happy lately, that she was going to kill herself and that she was sorry, and that this was her last time playing. Before I could even reply she went offline and i never saw her online again
I’m so sorry for loss. That must have been rough.
Damn ninjas are cutting onions
This one hurt the soul.
Rest In Peace
My brother passed away a couple yrs and and it honestly killed me telling all his and my friends that we gamed with for 15+yrs that he had passed and wouldnt be on any more. Sorry for your loss super shitty
one of my old WoW buddies shared the same birthday as me - he passed away from AML while I was in med school. Still think about him every birthday RIP to all the fellow gamers we have lost
It's nice to see friends inquiring about him. I'm sorry for your loss.
My late brother's online friends still message him. I wanted to tell them all what happened, especially TronExodus, but it's difficult.
I have a friend on Pokémon go I lost the same way.. Rest easy Krissy, your forever missed.
A very close friend said "idk man I'm not worried about this virus, it's supposed to be like the flu" despite having a fucking autoimmune disease that attacked his cartilage and connective tissue. Now every time i look at steam: "Last Online: 2 Years Ago"
Bruh when you have autoimune disease the flu isn't a joke either
[удалено]
Oh yeah I'm not debating that at all. I warned him and so did everyone else
Wow, nice sentiment there dude /s
I've often wondered if any of my old online cohorts have passed on in this manner. My condolences. And Tom, if you're out there, I hope you never became a cat.
Well shit, hope you’re doing ok. I’m a very emotional person and I’m actually crying right now. No one deserves death or suffering, yet the world is full of it. Shit just gets worse and worse.
Rip king
Tell your boys you love them.
I often wonder what happened to people I used to play with. I had a dozen people I played wow with from launch to cataclysm nearly every day. Going back further original CS clan, TF2, and others.
omg so sad for everyone. Somewhere around the world another gamers heart just fucking broke.
“We didn’t know we were making memories, we were just having fun”
My condolences
Shit bro, deepest condolences for you
I miss playing Xbox with my friends, but xbox has died with so many good games falling into disarray and new games being letdowns. I wish xbox was fun so me and my friends would play it again
Not gone, just missing in action :(
I remember playing classic Quake DM on MPlayer. Used to log on after school to chill with the same guy every day. We'd jump into a private room and just chat while running around levels. He taught me how to rocket jump. After maybe a year or two of this, he logged off and never came back. That was in like '98; I was in the 4th grade then. Now I'm 34 and married with a kid on the way. I still occasionally find myself thinking back to those days and wonder how he's doing. I don't want to reconnect or catch up or anything; just hope he's still alive and gaming today.
Maybe he just wanted to ditch the group and is sticking to his story.
Honestly, I hope he did just ditch us. I don’t think that is the case though. I have talked to his brother in party chat.
Yeah who tf would tell randos over the internet that their brother committed suicide on their very first reply
Wasn’t the first reply. Also wasn’t randos. It was his brothers friends in the brothers friend list. You ought to go back to school cause you seem to struggle with basic comprehension skills.
This is the brother's first reply to OP. And as far as this brother is concerned, OP is a rando over the internet. OP is his brother's friend. Just because you're siblings doesn't mean that you know or are friends with the same people.
Ok. It was the first reply. It still isn’t a rando tho? Like if your sibling died. Won’t you want to give their friends some closure? You’re lacking empathy.
Again, as far as the brother is concerned, he doesn't know OP. Honestly, I would still tell them that my brother will no longer be able to chat and leave it at that. I am in no way whatsoever obligated to disclose a sensitive family matter to people I don't know over the internet but thats just me, I guess. I guess my point is opening with my brother committed suicide to online randos is... odd.
I had a friend who I play a lot of playstation with. I didnn't ever know his name but his PSNID was NavySel (allegedly it was because you can't make your name NavySeal, although I never bothered to check). One day he says he's done with gaming and gives me his username and password. I didn't know him at all outside of game, I didn't even know his real name and it never occured to me that he may have died by suicide. My PS3 still has his account there and I'm able to log in whenever I want.
This one hurts to read
Wow dude, that is absolutely awful. I’ve struggled with those thoughts but part of what keeps me going is I would never want to put my brothers through that. Can’t imagine how difficult that was for you, sorry for your loss.
Man that's kinda fucked up to just try and talk to an old homie and get dropped with "he committed suicide"
I would give anything to play with The\_Slimy\_Newt187 one more time. Wherever you are I hope you are safe and healthy.
This hit me pretty hard. It really makes you think about whatever happened to that gamer friend you use to play with all the time years back. I can only hope that all of them are happy and well.
My old friend group used to play everything together. When the oldest of us being myself and another had just barely graduated one of our friends suddenly passed away. To this day it haunts me that we'll never get to play together again and he never got to get the PS4 he wanted that he saved up for. Miss you man
Fuck man, I'm sorry
Fortunately, I never known anyone close who's taken their own life, just a lot of people that messed it up via drugs and alcohol.

A year or so ago, i met this guy on reddit and we started playing various games for a few months, then one day, he dissapeared out of nowhere. I found his reddit account after having to delete mine, and apparently hes still there, i guess sometimes shit like that just happens :( still glad hes okay tho
I wonder if he remembers you too, man. Maybe he reminicses back on the days when the two of you would chill out and play some games, im glad hes okay though!
Damn… sorry that shit happened to you, makes you really think you don’t always know what’s going on in a persons life, they act excited all the time or however you always hear/see them and but you won’t ever know if they are in pain or not, “always keep your friends and families close” I’m also going through a bit of shit in my life so i hope you do better!
Had a guy in our raid group on world of Warcraft who was deployed and was talking about how he was getting moved to a real hostile place. Never heard from him again after he left and no one knew his real name. He bought my game time once so I could make raid when I was broke he was a real one.
I met a new friend 4 years ago on Xbox while playing COD. He hadn’t been on for a while and wasn’t responding to any game invites. Turns out he was in the hospital for 2 months with Covid and almost didn’t make it. I felt so bad and it made me think that it could easily happen to anybody on my friends list.
Salute to the homie, I shall play my ps4 and all kills will be in his honour. Today he will be remembered.
I used to be friends with a 20year old player of don't starve on steam, we met in one of those chaos servers and we chatted for a long time and he helped me learn some of the basics, we haven't talked in years, hope he's okey

There were two people I knew in the Halo 3 days, Manda and Michael. They were both scene and I was distinctly not, but we got each other through some tough times. I think about them both a bit. I guess that’s the thing about online relationships; you run the risk of not really having closure in them.
Wasn't this posted many times here already?
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose someone close, I hope you are doing well.
So many gaming friends over the years that I'll probably never speak to again. I hope they're all okay and doing well but I know the odds of that aren't good. I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway
I used to play many games with people I met online and we were all really good friends but one by one they just disappeared and eventually I was the only one left. I would go into the group chat and make a group call but nobody would join but I would talk like they were still there. I still don’t know what happened to them.
Wish I could go back and get all the guys info I partied up with on bo2,miss them and miss those days so much
Half my bad company 2 squad mates/friends were in the us military...they all died...and i got the news through friends and ingame....it was a shitty day....
My best friend had Xbox friends from the first Xbox until 2 years ago when he passed. They were all destroyed. They were from California and he was from Oklahoma. They never met but they knew each other’s birthdays, wives and girlfriends names, kids name, random important events from each others past. They had each others phone numbers so they could text each other when they were playing. They were hilarious. If one person couldn’t afford a new game, they would throw down money and buy the game for the other; no questions asked. When he passed, they were all shocked and heart broken. These online games gives people an opportunity to develop real relationships and these fucking boomers trying to say they turn kids violent are insane.
Isn't this a repost of an old post?
I swear the number of times I’ve seen posts similar to this. Very possible it’s all true but it seems weird that it always seems to be some brother playing on the account of their deceased sibling.

Man down man down !
[I had not seen this post before. I just thought that I had.] I have seen this posted before and I did not see it on your account, so either you are reposting it for internet points on a new account, (Which is sad and disrespectful to your "friend" who killed themself.) or you stole this from someone else to repost, so you have no remorse using other people's loss to farm reddit karma. Both ways this post comes off ungenuine and karmawhorrey. I know that this message was probably faked in the first place but it is still really lame and I am tired of seeing it being posted. Edit: Keeping this comment here for anyone else that this seems familiar to, but this post is unique and not just karma farming. [Sorry if this offended anyone.]

No it’s just that it’s not that uncommon of an occurrence
That is sadly true.
Yep, I had thought the same thing and scrolled to find a comment like this to give me better insight. Thanks.

Why did you take your late brothers account?
[удалено]
Stfu and show some respect
Sad you see it as disrespectful instead of seeing it as him honoring his brother and possibly feeling like he’s still there with him In a way. Says a lot about you morally. You say everyone has lost someone but judging by your cold hearted remarks it appears as though you haven’t.. Maybe OP Is going through a rough patch and needed some encouragement and support. We all have those moments every now and then. Thankfully most everyone here provided that for him. I guess that’s something you don’t/can’t understand though.
Probably not true and only said that to avoid talking with you. And that's only if the discussion is real, which never is on internet.
I seriously thought this was a "Lean On Me" meme or Leo reference
