To offer some solace in this time of grief: We've learned that Geoff passed quickly and painlessly from a blood clot in his lungs. He was with friends. He always urged and led us by example to take care of ourselves to the best of our ability. Remember to do that for him today.
This is so sad. Geoff is an absolute legend. I have no idea how many hours of laughter he's given me over the years. From his crazy early day TL posts, to his incredible rants. Every appearance he made on any gaming podcast, I was in. You could always count on his wit and dead pan humor. My life was made better in a real and tangible way because of him. A huge loss for the community and for people who knew him. I feel sick.
Some of my favorite iNcontrol moments throughout the years. Maybe the happy can balance some of the sad...

We love you and will miss you Geoff. RIP T_T
P.S. Does anyone remember the crazy ass post from the early 2000's where someone told a story about getting transported around the world while hanging onto one of Geoff's chest hairs? Everything smelled of strawberries. =) It was so long ago...
Geoff has become such a large part of my life over the years. From his pro-player career, SOTG, casting, Rollplay series, he has given us so many precious memories. This loss hits really hard.
I know how quickly things can come up, personally unfortunately, but this is still a big shock. I had no idea anything was even wrong. Was a big fan even predating SC2.
