I prefer to not let death affect me. I dont care anymore, shit happens. If your religious and he was a good person with a few sins then theres nothing to fear, hes kicking it in heaven. If your not and prefer the thought that nothing exists in death then he went out like a champ in that he created one of the most memorable series on NG and made some kicking music. He didnt die homeless and suicidal with nothing accomplished, he died a man who gave his audiance a few moments of happiness watching his movies.
But whats happened has happened, and there is nothing mourning will do. I learned that 30 minutes after my moms funeral. You can cry or get pissed, but the best medicine is laughing at the good times and moving on. S'all I can say really.
HEROIN? Damn dude he pretty much killed himself. That's such a waste. It sad he died but come one, he o.d.ed on HEROIN? Damn.....
I waited and waited for the next one to come along. Especially Pimp's Quest, which was just too fun for me when I joined up on Newgrounds all those years ago.
Any who, that's fuckin' terrible... Wish the mother best of luck to deal with this tragedy.
Ben was one of my early inspirations, sad to see the news.. :(
Wow.. I'm so sorry to hear that. I grew up watching his work on Newgrounds, I can recall all of the episodes and how much they inspired me to learn Flash all those years ago.
RIP Ben.
Oh man that sucks. Pimp's quest was one of the first games I ever played on ng even before I had a account. Rock N' Roll does horrible things to good people.
that sucks. I just saw one of his animations and it was great, he sort of made something simple over dramatic and just plain awesome. :'(
He was definitely destined to be one of them crazy directors. Along the lines of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.
That's a realty nice tribute, Jose. Couldn't have said it better.
ugh i was so excited for his next film. it shows in his work he was getting much better, too.....ugggggh
rip ben
ya, the art was actually catching up to that crazy vision of his
Stick Slayer was one of the first things I ever watched on Newgrounds and I have very fond memories of it.
Rest in peace, Ben. We love you, man.
*sniffle* we will all remember him..
Except you,.... since well , you just signed up this year and you wouldve been 3 when he was around.
Man that is sad..
Gone gone, the damage done.
Rest in peace..
oh wow, i grew up watching this guy's stuff.
RIP.
Did he pass away?
That's sad. I've never heard of him, but it's sad to hear nonetheless.
Newgrounds is full of heroin addicts and murderers.
and you pretend to be both, but mommy allows you to be neither.
Watching every episode I have to admit Ben deserved this role of inspiration. His work had elements in it which I would never have thought to see in such early flash files. There was some pretty good 3d, some slick animations, after episode 6 it was just nuclear epic after nuclear epic.
A damn shame to have lost him, I too can feel his loss now.
definitely. He treated flash more as a medium instead of a gimmick
Its sad I had forgotten him, seeing only a few way back then. Considering his flashes dates, they are extremely well done. After seeing his last SS, no doubt the next was going to be the flash worth watching. It sucks his comeback was cut to soon.
I wish this were some sort of sick joke - I remember laughing my ass off when I was a kid to the first Stick Slayer. That cartoon really cheered me up when I was down. I can't believe this happened!
