Okay, so I might have fallen off of the face of the pony fandom in the last couple months, but I'll be at Everfree Northwest all three days this weekend! Hope to see you guys there!

Happy New Year everyone! Let's hope that 2016 ends up being a good year.

(Sorry I would've posted this on the 1st but I didn't have wifi)

....my BFF has decided not to go, says it's too much hassle with the money side atm for her.
I'm starting to wonder about it myself. Getting to Manchester is looking more and more convoluted...the train tickets alone will be about £130 now if the train sites are accurate.

Before I get into the celebrity deaths, let us pay our respects to all the victims of the recent earthquakes in Japan. Many lives have been lost. Thousands have been injured. Billions of yen in damage have been done.

Pray for them.

Now, this week's celebrity deaths. As usual, see Wikipedia for the full list of 2016 notable deaths.

- Ouhira Tohru, voiceover artist (Super Sentai Series, Japanese dub voice of Darth Vader and Homer Simpson), 86.

He was eccentric. He was a visionary. He was a legend.

He was one of those artists those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s hold in the same reverence as Michael Jackson.

And now, he's gone.

Rest in peace, Prince. Your legend will live on forever, as will your music.

There, I said it.

The only thing I got excited about that I didn't already know about was Resident Evil 7 (which doesn't take a page from Outlast, but half the damn book), and maybe the Crash Bandicoot remasters.

I was already excited for Titanfall 2. Already anticipating Horizon Zero Dawn. The Xbox One S was a given, and Project Scorpio is either gonna be underwhelming, or a niche and ahead of its time.

For those of you who didn't see the post on my old account, I'll be attending Bronycon this year as a volunteer. I'll be helping out with the writing panels as a liaison, so if you go to any of those and see a pale-faced nerd in a staff shirt with brown hair, glasses, and bad posture, that's probably me. I'll be going by my SFW moniker of CyborgSamurai (for obvious reasons) but if you're around and you wanna say hi, feel free!

Hope to see you there!

Here are the notable deaths for this past week from North America, Japan, and select parts of Europe. As usual, please see Wikipedia for a complete list of notable 2016 deaths.

I have absolutely no qualms about eating my hat when my preconceptions about a game wind up being false.

Backing the death train up several months, this is one that somehow slipped under my radar:

On December 3, 2015, Scott Weiland, frontman of Stone Temple Pilots, was found dead on his tour bus. He died from a massive drug overdose after a long battle with substance addiction, cardiovascular disease, and hepatitis. He was 48.

And now, for this week's death notices. As usual, please see Wikipedia for a complete list of notable 2016 deaths.

Four days ago, Carrie Fisher survived a heart attack and the world breathed a sigh of relief that we would not end 2016 with such a drastic and devastating loss.

Today, she died.

For everyone who grew up with Star Wars, this...this is just the absolute worst possible way to end what has been the single worst year in modern history.

William Christopher, best known for his portrayal of Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H, passed away today at 84.

The final Weekly Death Blog of 2016 will follow in a few minutes. At this point, I don't care if somebody else dies in the next few hours. I've had it. I'm sick of reporting this shit.

Bear in mind the following is entirely opinion based. If you disagree you are completely welcome too. I am not attacking you or the things you like.

Hey all,

With 2016 fast approaching, I just want to thank each and every one of you for sticking around with me and the stories I've written. You can't begin to imagine how much of a boost it gives to simply see a counter for views/likes/followers go up.

I'm here to provide you all with my share of imagination, and I intend to keep it that way!

Have a wonderful 2016.

Maurice White, one of the founding members of Earth, Wind, & Fire, died last night.

I didn't catch that one.

Worst. Year. EVER.
