Without this friend of mine I don't even know where I would be right now. He was my neighbor, and my all time best friend. We were best friends since I was a year old and I am 19 now. Last year when I started College during the second week of classes I found out that he had died. He had just moved from down the street to his parents house in Florida to attend University of Florida. He had to drive his dad to the airport and got home really late and tired. He left his car running in his garage while he slept and when his mom couldn't reach him for over a day she got her neighbor to go check in the house, he was dead in his bed due to carbon monoxide poisoning. A friend I knew since I was a year old was dead, the one friend I could always count on being there right down the street had died. The reason I say this is relevant is because without him I would of never gotten into any video games. Especially starcraft. He used to play StarCraft all the time and was always like 30x better than me. I would only ever get into clans because he was so good and I'd just be a tag along. We used to play together all the time, during the summers we would be at his house almost every day just playing tons of games switching on and off. I dunno if anyone remembered these clans it was from like 6 years ago I'd say, if not more. We were in HS( together, something called DsX and I think a couple of others. The main one was HS( though. He was HS(Fr0sT. But starcraft wasn't the only game he got me into. He also got me into RPG games, like Diablo, Mario RPG, the Zelda franchise. I literally cannot even begin to imagine who I would be if I had never met him, I know starcraft would most likely not even be a part of my life and it has had an immeasurable impact on me. I have played since around 2000, 9 years of my life. Soon to be 10. That would mean I have played starcraft the majority of time that I have been alive and for a couple of years I played it for hours a day. But if he had never gotten me into it, if I had never looked up to him all my life, if he was never there to always be amazing at everything, where the hell would I be? I honestly have no idea whatsoever. I still miss my friend, this summer just wasn't the same. He would just always call me to play some sort of crazy sport. Either backyard football, or wiffleball or something. It was just odd to not receive any call this summer at some ridiculous hour planning some sort of unrealistic game of football that he somehow always managed to throw together, or when he somehow managed to throw a wiffleball like 60mph and was able to pitch for 7 inning without his arm dying (wiffles balls are incredibly hard to pitch for a long period of time) Most people I know die after like 2-3 innings. I am just going to miss all that. RIP Pat Farrell, aka HS(Fr0sT | ||

Some people even got to know him in real life. It came as a shock to the forum when we found out he committed suicide on the day of his birthday. Sorry to hear about your friend mate. I knew of this girl on a forum who was a few years younger than me, not very well personally though. She committed suicide about a year ago and a few close forum friends were devastated as well. May your friend RIP | ||

 I knew this swedish dude from another game (elasto mania, lol) and chatted with him quite often for about 3-4 years untill someone in an online forum of the community stated that he was his neighbour and he and his family had died during the night. Cause: gas leak = explosion, big fire, etc. It was pretty sad and tragic. | ||
