LOL

but yeah that's sad

it's always weird when a newgrounder dies and they just have that dead empty user page

the memorial page sounds like a good idea

I've never heard of him, but I'd just like to say I'm sorry to hear about this. RIP

I bet Tom Fulp would have liked that.

Really sorry to hear this. Ben will be missed. :(

It always sucks when something like this happens, and it sucks even more when the person who's gone did something so self destructive. May his art live forever, and hopefully other's won't travel down the same path that led to his death.

R.I.P.

Ha.

died at 31 due to drugs, unfortunate, and sad, but he can only blame himself.

R.I.P

I think it's always a bit surreal when people die as young as he did.

Can't say I was familiar with him, but it's always sad when a community member passes on.
R.I.P. Ben.

Didn't know him, but it still sucks to lose someone. Especially when they're a good flash artist that contributes to NG.

Fuck, now hes definitely never going to release Pimps quest 2.

Damn, I remember back when Stick Slayer was new, it's bizarre to get news like this.

Why not commemorate the front page to Ben? Sort of like a Madness day or a Pico Day?

Didn't know him well, but I vaguely recall watching the first few episodes of Stick Slayer a long time ago. It's a real shame that he's gone, especially since his death stemmed from something totally unnecessary.

R.I.P. Ben Spurgin

Now dont get offended at this but what if this is a hoax? And he comes back on halloween with stickslayer IX? I dont know how news of his death got out, wheather it was in the news or what so dont be offended by this thought. Just saying though, could be true.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Never heard of him before now, he has some pretty nice flash.

Haha, I was about to post that.
You should make a sad face of yourself for the front page, and check what emoticon the thread uses, and if it's a sad one, it'll be replaced by sad Tom.

I've never heard of him before. After watching some of his Flash, I am now very sad to have him gone.

R.I.P. man!

Anyone else find it appropriate that the last medal he earned was titled "Game over?

i feel bad that i laughed at stampers post.

I think everybody should rate that movie 5/5 in memory of him

It also said "let history take it's course"

And you should.

Man, I loved his work. I used to show it to many friends.
RIP :(

I know it's rude to ask but, how'd he die?

Goodbye, ben. We'll miss you.

Rest in Peace Ben.
