This sucks, I don't follow his content nowadays, but I have very fond memories from his earlier work with WoW Radio back in 2005. BluePlz! and especially [EPIC] were great podcasts if you were a dedicated WoW player at that time.
When I first read the news headline for this, I thought someone surely had gotten mixed up and was posting old news. I can't even imagine what he's feeling at the moment.
Thanks for asking - I had no idea whom was referred to, but didn't want to be tacky. (Not that you were, but I probably would have been.)
