Can't outrun that... bile duct growth. Can't say I've seen that cause of death before. [edit] Apparently he's been fighting it for about a year, aggressive cancer. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Iwata saw Nintendo through some of their greatest successes. He didn't have as keen of a gaming sense as do Miyamoto or Tezuka, but as president, he didn't have to. I love his Iwata Asks series and hope it continues in some form. Also, Iwata was the best fighter I ever had in the 3DS dungeon crawler. Without him, I would never have made it past some of those bosses. Rest in peace, Iwata the Warrior. |

Doesn't sound like he was anybody noteworthy. He didn't join Nintendo until they were already garbage. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Maybe his bile duct cancer is from the strange things these japanese are eating. Ever tried Wasabi? Feels as if somebody hits you on the nose...

I love Wasabi. Especially Wasabi nuts after a few drinks at the bar. -- |

My experience has been with wasabi pistachios (which I thought I would love because they are both awesome, but oddly don't go well together). -- |

Naturally Wasabi is a spice, you shouldn't eat it pure. Only then you get this feeling in the nose. But thats not the only strange thing they are eating.
