there goes another on my "people that i wish to high-five and thanking them for making my teenage years more bearable with their humour" list
sad to see him go
As of six months ago I was actually helping him with his videos. He was one of the only people who shared the same.. 'hobby' as me, whereas we both had a shitton of soundeffects on our computer (like 2TB not even kidding). It brought up interesting conversations and such. Really, really sucks that he's no longer there. I hope Dasboschitt lets me help with his tribute or something in any way.
holy fuck please no
I absolutely loved this guy's animations that's so sad
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;47010573]The worst part is how all the future projects he mentioned in Kitty Korner #2 will never see the light of day. I'm legitimately sad right now.
God speed, you magnificent kitty. Your videos will always be remembered in GMod machinima history.[/QUOTE]
The worst part is that he is dead.
Aw man, I remember watching Elliott goes to School, that was awesome.
Holy shit this is insane, I used to be pretty close with him on steam and even hacked together a couple models for his videos way back when. Rest in piece man.
Thats the end of Elliot's adventures. Damn...
Fuck. Just... Fuck.
Holy shit, he had leukemia? And now he's dead?
Christ....
It's been so long since I watched his stuff too.
I should rewatch his stuff again
Aww, I always love his stuff and make me feel very enjoyable every time I'm back to my home.
He's truly talent one and he's the first guy that motivated me to Gmod community as I tried to create my first Gmod video.
Rest in Peace

YeardlyDiamond died so unexpectedly, fucking coronary. Sad that he will never experience GTA V for PC.
Idk about you guys, but besides Team Fabulous 2 this is his best video imo.

Also the dude who made the Ultimate Cartoon Fighting videos. [url]https://www.youtube.com/user/toonsmyth/videos[/url]
2014 was a sad year and 2015 is looking pretty grim too.

Edit: With him gone, this scene is now a lot less funny now:

Oh man, this is terrible news. His videos alone convinced me to buy a beefed up computer years back and gmod. If someone ever said the name Kitty0706 in a passing conversation, there's no way I'd miss it. Never knew he had a terminal illness as I didn't keep up with news on Colin, the man himself.. but my god that's awful. shitshitshitshitshit. Arrggh why man why!
NOOOoooo, I love his videos. RIP Kitty0706, you will be missed. Thanks for making this thread, I had heard that he was getting better, so this news comes as a shock. Why does cancer take everything that I love away? Fuck cancer!

Oh man, it's been so long... the memories all come flooding back. I could never get enough of his Sam Fisher and Vin Diesel stuff. That over the top slow motion nonsense, and Vin always mentioning something about being afraid of the dark any chance he got.
Man, I can't believe there will never be any more of this...
Damn, that's rough.
His and DasBoSchitt's videos conviced me to buy Garrysmod many years ago.
The video where he plays Uncharted and talks about his condition was the last video I watched. The humor turned kinda stale as I grew older, his 1st person videos are amazing to say the least though.
Rest in peace.
I remember the days i used to come back each day from school after a shitty day only to watch one of kitty's videos. Collin sure knew how to make people laugh after a long depressing day.
Now I have a hole in my heart.
[quote=kitty0706, "Words of Wisdom from an animator with Leukemia"]Dear Diary,
What I learned recently is that the human mind constantly changes. A common fool would know that, but probably not understand it. I can write an idea down, then forget about it. Not only do I forget it exists, I also forget all of the imagination put into it, depending on how much time has passed since I wrote it down. However, some ideas stick, and won’t go away, forcing me to consider creating them and allow them to sprawl to life. Is the need to entertain many through an internet website showcasing my creations really worth it? One side of me says to just keep it as a secondary option, something to do as a hobby rather than a priority. The other side says the exact opposite, saying I should focus on it because look at it: it gives me purpose. It allows me to entertain, and people need entertainment.
Maybe I should not let huge ideas engulf me. Maybe I have to make them short and sweet, not long and drawn out, stockpiling mini ideas on top of each other. And I really need to just kick myself in the ass to animate on a more suitable medium, which does not include a game that lets you play with rag dolls. Whether my audience will like it or not, it is still my creation. And like with gmod films, it took practice, and lots of it. Flash animation will require more research and practice to master, to really get a sense of style not only in drawing but in animating, too. I’d really love to dive into the world of 2d animation. And that can be a stronger bond once I get that online degree from full sail. I love drawing, but most importantly, I love entertaining. I love to be loved. What motivates me to continue creating is simply the need to improve. And already I see a huge change with the next upcoming gmod video. [/QUOTE]
Taken from a post he made on his Tumblr back in October, before the transplant. [URL="http://dakat0706.tumblr.com/post/63621891189"]The rest of it is here.[/URL]
Me and my younger brother used to love watching Moments with Heavy. He was the one that showed me and got me to watch Team Fabulous 2. May you rest in peace.
I remember watching this guy's stuff back in high school and I loved it.
This is awful... rest in peace, man.

Edd Gould of Eddsworld fame died of leukaemia in 2012.
Him, a few friends from jsXanatos' group, and me were going to make something a few months ago. He sounded worse, but I didn't think it would come to this :(
I'm honestly too sad right now, I loved his videos and his personality. This hit me very hard.
