Yesterday, it came to light that Square Enix had put in a memorial to the late David Bowie in its latest patch for Final Fantasy XIV. I thought it might be a good time to take a look back at some of the other memorials in video game history.
When the battery exploded inside Redditor tommyboy601's PSP, he decided his time with the Sony portable was at an end. Rather than trade it in at his local GameStop for pennies, he built a fitting memorial to an old friend.
Brian Wood, the Company of Heroes designer who perished in a car crash in September, was a game developer, devoted husband, and an accomplished choral singer. This weekend his former choir-mates will remember Brian through the music he loved.
In her darkest days, Erin Wood says she found some solace in the kindness of strangers, of gamers, of you.
For anyone in San Francisco, there's a Drink & Draw Frazetta Memorial tonight at Mission Comics!
