Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I knew that name sounded familiar. Sad to see that he died. I hate to say it now, but all these years hoping for pimp's quest 2 have been in vain. There for a while I was visiting section 8 daily watching for updates. Somehow I doubt he would have finished it though. And with a different artist, it will probably suck.

Sad case of author existence failure as well.

I remember that series. I really loved it back then. Thanks to this post, I just relived those nostalgic moments in a blink of an eye.

Rest in peace, Ben, rest in peace...

It's incredibly sad news. "Pimp's Quest" was probably our most well-known collaboration (we even hosted a party at our house when it got one million views), but we worked together on so much more than that. Not just Flash, either...he was an incredibly talented man in so many other creative realms. I watched him make movies. I watched him shred guitar at lightning speed. I watched him do theater. I read his screenplay outlines. I watched him announce at wrestling events. You get the idea. We'll all miss his unique perspectives, and infectious energy when discussing his latest artistic ideas.

I'm sad that he is gone at such a young age; he had so much great art in him.

And "Pimp's Quest" was originally his idea...he said we should make an adventure game together, but we weren't sure of the subject at first. We even thought about making an adventure game about a cannibal. We were on our way to a party (or back from a party?) and were listening to an album called "Pornosonic" (70's porn movie music) in the car. He heard the wah-wah and went, "Let's make the game about a pimp!".

Miss you man.

Fuck that shit wanted 1000.

May God rest Ben's soul.

Oh poor guy.

RIP

Rest in peace

Can't say I knew him, but R.I.P.
Sad when the downfall of a great author occurs.

Well damn,,, that is sad. heroin is a bitch, I lost a best friend over the stuff,

What'll happen when you die?

Newgrounds should definitely do a tribute series to him

I've never knew him but losing a member of NG is like losing a family member. Especially if he contributed to the site quite a bit.

R.I.P.

Pimp's Quest was the first flash game I ever played, and it was that magnificent game that got me into flash gaming.

I know that I and many others owe great thanks to this fine man that had his life cut short ever so suddenly. It has been a honor to watch his skills grow as the years went on, and I wish I knew knew him before his final hour, but all I can type now is the continually used phrase, Rest In Peace. I and many others will cherish your great work, and can only imagine how things would be if you were still alive to this day. I only hope that his family members will find a way to make it through the loss of his life.

Damn drugs. R.I.P good sir.

I can't believe it either! He was a great artist taken from us waaaaay to soon. May his memory live on, and may NG continue to provide the best in flash entertainment! Ben would want it that way.

Seems like we have a death in NG about every year now. Well, nothing we can do about it right? Except not do anything stupid. If anything, the kid that tried to set fire to his school should have definitely died lol... Anyways, RIP.

that is really sad.....my last name is spurgin too.

Lol, I noticed that as well. xD

RIP BEN!! Many enjoyed your art.

I was wondering why there was some awsome stuff all of a sudden on front page, RIP.

R.I.P. Ben

There is not an emoticon sad enough to express this.
R.I.P. Ben

Soon, Stamper... Dies of cancer.

I didn't know the guy, but that's sad. It sucks losing a newgrounder. R.I.P, Ben.

Before Ben died he had signed a contract allowing me to post his cartoons and movies on the internet. I maintained section8studios where he continued to give me new animations and movies to post up for him. I will be posting all of his creations again in a new site in memory of Ben, and will let everyone know where they can go to see it all.
