Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, 1959 – 2015 ⊟ 

Nintendo’s president and CEO Satoru Iwata passed away yesterday after a year-long battle with bile duct cancer. He was 55 years old.

Even before taking over the company in 2002, Iwata made a number of massive contributions to the gaming industry, working on series like Kirby, Mother/Earthbound, and Super Smash Bros. while serving as a programmer, producer, and eventually president at developer HAL Laboratory. 

At Nintendo, Iwata helped bring even more classic titles to market while also overseeing the launches of the DS, Wii, 3DS, and Wii U. He also served as a charming spokesperson for the company, hosting the Nintendo Direct streams to deliver gaming news to fans, conducting an engaging series of Iwata Asks developer interviews, and even appearing in games.

It’s unclear who will head the company going forward, but Nintendo noted today that longtime employees and current general managers Shigeru Miyamoto and Genyo Takeda are serving as representative directors.

We’ve all suffered an immeasurable loss with his passing. I’m heartbroken.

Rest in Peace Iwata-san

Dear Leelah….

I know how hard it is when parents can  be ignorant. But there are people out there who would accept you in a heartbeat. But alas it is too late. You have left the realm of the living and passed on to the realm of the angels.

If I had discovered your blog sooner I would’ve sent you tons of reassuring messages. I would offer you what your parents did not: my acceptance and friendship and I know many others would do that as well. Leelah you were a amazing girl that left this Earth too soon. You seemed like such a nice young woman with so much potential. You did nothing wrong. You were just being who you were. You were being Leelah Alcorn a inspiration to many.

So Rest In Peace oh beautiful angel and may you finally find peace.

With lots of love and warm regards
