News of Dungeonmaster Gary Gygax’s death yesterday came with the requisite number of puns. “Failed his saving throw” was the most popular with “ran out of hitpoints” coming in second. I started thinking how other deaths might be announced:
Sid Meier’s turn ended
Billy Mitchell reached the kill screen
Bill Gates encountered a fatal error
John Romero lost his deathmatch
Jack Thompson was permanently disbarred
Ron Gilbert missed the rubber tree
Will Wright’s meters dropped to zero
Shigeru Miyamoto ran out of lives

Silvercube:
Oh no!
Live Mr. Miyamoto alone. LOL.
Great guy! Yay Nintendo : )
Jack Thompson.. ummm who knows.. I don’t know what to make of that guy.
And Bungie gets the blue screen of death, right? ^_^
