Last night, I finally heard the sad news that Justin Carmical, AKA Jew Wario, passed away on the 23rd of this month. His passing was reported on the 25th, but I went away for the weekend, and wasn't aware until now. The link is here: retrowaretv.com/justin-carmical/
I honestly don't know what to say. I've been watching this guy's vids since the early days of You Can Play This. He was one of my favorite Internet celebrities, and I've often imagined bumping into him at some kind of con or expo, if I were to go to one. He was actually at E3 this year, but I must have been in the other hall when he filmed his E3 vid.
I've never met the guy, but I was a big fan of his vids. I will remember him mostly for his You Can Play This and Pipeline series. Though I'm not a big import gamer, he's a big part of the reason why I signed up for Japanese and UK psn accounts, and I did check out a few of the games he recommended that made their way over here, Corpse Party being one them. Even though I had no intention of getting into scan games, I still watched his Scan This series. I was hoping Justin would get back to the You Can Play This series eventually, but I enjoyed learning about scan games. I guess no one will beat Edward from Twilight now.
I'm really going to miss Jew Wario, and my condolences go out to his family, friends, co-workers, and other fans. Feel free to post your thoughts below, as well as any tributes and other fan material. Since no one has signed up for Gamers' Hub yet, I'm going to post this in Gamers' Retreat as well, and may also post it in the Playstation.com forums.
