I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Sonic Team leader Yuji Naka was
found dead in his home this morning. There weren't any more details yet. I'm
sure we'll all miss him, even if you weren't a fan of his work there's no
denying his contribution to gaming culture. Truly a Japanese icon.

heard about his bemise on talk radio ;o)

Blimey - Bill Gates dies on the ugvx news group and Yuji Naka dies on the
ugvd group. A dare not pop over to the Samaritans group, it would be a
bloody mass online suicide!

Check the date people. ;-)

Well, he might actually be dead in 2029, so probably then?
