Addressing Children’s Week Issues
Developer Thoughts - Plunderstorm Game Mode and Feedback

I've read over the last few months about how aggressive he's been acting towards fans on his Twitter page, threatening to beat them up for liking the band's old stuff more than their newer. I think he's been in a dark place mentally for a while now. It's a damn shame when depression gets this bad, and I understand the whole "he had kids, how could he do this to them?" aspect of this; something that most normal feel when hearing news about a parent committing suicide...but at the same time, very deep depression plays tricks with your mind. I'm sure in his head he felt this would be better for his kids and everyone else. Trying to rid yourself of crippling depression and the thoughts it brings is like trying to will yourself to be healed of a broken leg or a physical illness, it's just not going to happen.

Holding out hope that this is just a cruel joke until I see cited sources outside of TMZ, but fucking hell. This was the band I followed for longest time. The first real band I ever got into, and I always enjoyed their experimentation with music. I actually really enjoyed the new album...
We live in an era of "me versus them", an era where something is done that you don't like means you are personally attacked. People whine too much.
Let us play video games and be happy.

Pretty much were I am at, everything links back to Tmz which itself doesn't provide any proof.

My day was bad already and now it feels even worse
I always liked his songs, but especially started to love his songs after he made the music for Transformers.

Wow that's crazy, a few months ago I happened to be sitting near him, he was with his kids and seemed pretty happy at the time. This feels weird (in a bad way), I also loved Linkin Park when I was younger.

RIP one of the greatest of the 2000s. Grew up on their music, happy I was able to see them a few times including at blizzcon.

Living Things was an underrated album too.
Guess I know what I'll be listening to for the next week or so.

2017-07-20, 07:01 PM #35Deletedhe was pretty pissed at the reaction to heavy, there's a studio recording where they do a what would be considered hybrid theory version of the song and as he finish's and starts to walk off he " says "there's your fucking Hybrid theory" his frustration is understandable since what artist wants to do the same stuff all the time and a lot of fans don't like change Originally Posted by Feel The Power

and that folks, a pure example of how fame + money does not bring joy
but infact, can be the reason for depression, and a big one.
