so i read the title hoping it wasn't edd gould due to his leukemia and his 70% chance of living
and it turns out to be edd gould and he hit the 30%
How did he even get that form of cancer?

My favorite Edd video ever.
Today I felt bad for just sort of leaving his forums without saying goodbye or anything and going back to FP.
Now I feel even worse. RIP Edd.
Took me a second to realize it was him, He seemed pretty cheerful when they had the update video. Stuff happens i guess.
Rest in peace, I loved his work.
Never watched or even heard of this guy, but god damn it's sad for someone so young and inspirational to go.
[QUOTE=Lord_Biscuits;35323499]I'm literally staving off the tears right now. I know people die of cancer all the time, but there's something about it taking Edd that makes it so much worse. He never let it show through how hard he struggled, in fact he seemed just fine to the rest of the world, like he could easily brush off all his problems and forget about them. Something about how it was able to take him even when he seemed so strong makes me question life itself.
But what am I saying? I never knew him personally and I don't think he would have cared much to know a small-time fellow like myself in a sea of fans. But not once did I think the cancer would get to him, not once, and I guess that's what's hurting me so bad inside, my assurances and hopes that he gave me shattered right in my face.
I hope to all that is good in the world that it's a joke, setting us all up for April Fool's Day or something. Edd would be the kind of sort to make a joke out of his cancer. And if it isn't a joke or prank, well there's just more of my hopes that mean nothing at all.[/QUOTE]
But April Fools day is in 2 months

It's in 6 days..?
Well this just ruined my fucking day.
I've never heard of him before, but reading his wikipedia page he sounded like a great person. RIP

Rest in peace, you magnificent bastard. At least he faced his death like a man. At the end, I hope he knew how much enjoyment his videos brought to people.
I was devastated to find out that he was no longer with us. I was a huge fan of his works and I've been following him even before he was hugely popular on NG.
Edd, you were a great kid.
Don't let anyone forget that.
Rest in peace.
Didn't know the guy, but I've seen some of his comics and animations.

Aww man, I liked his animations. RIP Edd, you will be missed.
I didn't know who he was, then I found out that he was the one behind edd's world
damn, this sucks
Never heard of him sadly, but seems like he is a very successful and well liked guy that could've gotten far in the future. Sad to see such great talent taken away just because of an error in the human body.
God-fucking-dammit...
My mood is ruined... He was amazing, made awesome videos and was hilarious...

This might ring a bell for those who think they've never heard of Edd before.

Its ok because Edd and his friends aren't uptight douches that would take that offensively. Even as he was dying of cancer he was taking the piss out of cancer/himself, and I loved that about him.
Eddsworld was one of the first things I ever saw on the internet.
God dammit.
[QUOTE=GameDev;35324815]Eddsworld was one of the first things I ever saw on the internet.
God dammit.[/QUOTE]
The first things I used the internet for where Runescape, Albino Blacksheep and Eddsworld.
I knew he had cancer but for some reason I never thought it would get him.
I remember watching his videos years ago
And tsarbucks is rating everything in this thread funny, dick
[QUOTE=Sector 7;35323245]You mean "It sucks that cures for human tumors implanted in mice exist, yet we can't use them because they could potentially be lethal, and the process to determine their lethality has to be approached slowly and carefully."[/QUOTE]
I don't think that people that are terminally ill with cancer will care if a cure might kill them.
Wow, didn't think it would ever get to him. I loved his videos, he was original and really funny, it sucks that he had to pass, he was REALLY young, RIP. :(
it's sad that he's dead and everything but his animations really weren't all that funny
Christ, he was young. That's terrible.
Six years though, he put up a decent fight.
