I can’t believe it guys, this is a serious thread, i’m in shock, our friend, ego, the leader of NHC has passed away, i can’t find any words now and i feel sad.
I don’t suppose the details could be reposted for the benefit of those who don’t have fb accounts?
I’m very sorry to hear about this. I always enjoyed my games with Mr. EgoTrip and looked forward to playing him again when I saw that he’d posted recently.
This is truly sad, he was a good guy to play against and talk to. I hadn’t played him in so long, he was one of the better E. Honda’s online he will be missed
Damn that sucks, RIP bro. I played EgoTrip 100s of times when I use to play this game. I might just have to fire good ol’ HDR up and play some games in his honor.
Sucks. The man was responsible for helping me learn Honda mirrors, then how to learn the Honda matchup with Bison. Above all that, however, he was an amazing person in general.
I’m really saddened by the news. I don’t have the words…but I’ll try.
It is not common for there to be such a jovial, good-natured, and constructive guy in the realm of online competitive gaming. Ego is one of the few players who had the patience to help a “noob” along and provide nonjudgmental advice. He introduced me to the No Honor concept which was about eliminating limitations (self-imposed or otherwise) rather than antagonizing the uninitiated. In fact, he was one of the nicest guys I’d bumped into when he could have easily scorned me like so many talented players (e.g. "You fucking suck, scrub!).
He is one of the main reasons that I don’t blow total arse any more. But beyond the game, he had a great sense of humor. In fact, the most memorable interactions were in the NHC chat where Ego would regale us with his sharp sense of humor and seemingly indefatigable mouth–which was perfectly fine since he really was a magnetic individual.
He was definitely the kind of person I would have love to have met IRL because he saw SF as merely a component of life–not life itself. That perspective was readily apparent by the discourse that we had on real life situations. Ron was a pithy man when he wanted to be and he gave me jewels of wisdom that extended beyond the game.
If there’s a heaven, I know that you’re in it–displaying unadulterated “sumo prowess” all the while. God bless, old bean.
Rest In Peace MisterEgoTrip I Remember First Playing You In Late 2008 When I Bought HDR & How Much Fun We Had Playing All Night Long Until We Were 2 Sleepy 2 Continue. All The Great Chat Room Sessions We Had… I Will Never Forget You Bro. You Will Always Be In My Heart ggs 4 EVER NHC 4 EVER
Although I only knew of him, I know he will be sincerely missed by many. Clearly this was a man of great moral character that was taken too soon. Rest in peace.
I can’t believe this. I just found out recently. One of the best HDR players I’ve ever met, period. You will be missed. Still have you on my friends list and that’s how it’s gonna stay.
