Out of the Blue

MrsBlue is off to her new job today, and with no ties remaining to Disney, I no longer have a potential conflict of interest to disclaim related to reporting Disney-related game news. With their disinterest in the PC platform there was nothing to be conflicted over during that span anyway, but it makes life easier for everybody if there's no potential for that to worry about. She is back with a more traditional book publisher now, so there is no gaming connection to acknowledge going forward.

R.I.P.: British director Tony Scott dead after jumping from California bridge.

Links:	Thanks Ant and Acleacius.
Play:	Meadow Adventure. Decision 2: New City.
Links:	19 Asian Tattoo FAILS.
Stories:	A 63-year-old engineer is Japan's 'last ninja'.
Science:	Microbes manipulate your mind. Coffee good for you, but it's OK to hold back. Thomas Kuhn: the man who changed the way the world looked at science.
Media:	Metal Gear Solid meets Nyan Cat. And Making of... Close Call at a Rally Race. The director's cut of real life in NYC.

Sorry but suicide is a selfish cowardly act - especially as his twin sons are only 12.

Suicide a selfish cowardly act? Sorry, that is to paint things so black and white you are insulting everyone involved. Suicide is never, ever a black and white thing and it sure as hell isn't a selfish cowardly act. It's an act of utter desperation at the very least and one of the most heartbreaking acts that can happen because the reasons for it to happen are always extremely complex.

Views such as this help increase the suicide rate rather than help preventing suicides and throwing suicide into the moral realm without even caring about the reasons behind it is the lowest of the low.

Though this is all true, deciding to jump off a bridge is absolutely selfish. He just parked in one lane and walked off. The bridge was closed for a while. Divers had to go in looking for the body. The waterway was slowed down while they did this. Police have to launch an investigation.
At the very least this is costing tax payers thousands of dollars. It's also a big surprise to the family, because extremely public, etc.

There are more private ways of going about this, especially if you have wealth. Pull a Jackie-O and just overdose on morphine while your family crowds around you saying goodbye.
