This is kinda sad.

I wonder if all the people on the forum that flamed him and the team with death threats and remorseful.

Wait, they're gonna try and charge the passenger with vehicular homicide?

Edit:

Ah, the passenger was holding the wheel at the time because the driver was trying to take her sweater off. Then the passenger screwed up. How stupid.

Eerie... that was one of the headlines in the paper today. Just to add to the article a bit: his wife says that her husband intentionally swerved the vehicle so it'd be a driver-side impact instead of a head-on impact, and apparently doing so saved her life. A very touching sacrifice. 




As to the actual game: bleh. The RPG-ish leveling system worked in CoH because everybody started from scratch each game. The very idea of having  a huge advantage from the get-go makes me... uncomfortable. Worse, last I checked, CoH didn't exactly have a hugely thriving online community (though I never paid much attention, so I might be wrong). I can't think of a better way to fragment the community than a 'free', MMO version of what is pretty much the exact same game.
