A memorial trust fund in Brian's name has been established: [www.brianwoodmemorialtrust.com]
I worked with Brian Wood at TimeGate Studios when I was a programming intern and he was lead designer of the Axis & Allies RTS. I didn't get to know him well, but I know he was always friendly, and that he was a great guy - he always had a good attitude even when the chips were down. I wanted to get to know him better but never had the time or opportunity; tragically, now I'll never have that privilege.
My heart goes out to his wife and unborn child. I agree with commenters below; please let us know if any sort of donation fund is set up so that I can contribute to it.

I wonder if it's still alive NOW, after the recent round of EA layoffs?
Without even showing the hidden threads on this page, I can search and find 18 instances of the word "racist."
Meanwhile, I can find exactly zero cases of anyone actually asserting that anything about this clip IS racist.
I dream of a world in which people can watch a 5-minute bit of video and NOT immediately post in defense of it, insisting that it's not racist... even though no one has actually asserted that it is racist. Defensive much?
It's good that little kids will see a movie that makes them feel the unfairness of segregation in our recent history. And it's good to see that that unfairness isn't being overplayed: the underprivileged family aren't letting themselves be victims; instead they're happy for what they have, and focus on how they can reach their dreams with honest hard work.
Introducing kids to these ideas in simple, understandable ways seems to me exactly the sort of thing that Disney should be doing. I hope that the movie becomes a classic for this generation of kids the way Beauty & the Beast and Aladdin were for mine.
It should be noticed that the these results have been fudged a little; the figure of "oral and written communications" (44%) was determined by averaging employers who googled a client's "communication skills" (28%) with those who googled a client's "oral skills" (60%). Make of this what you will!
And people called this "walk before you can run" guy a dick:
I think it would be funny if Judge David Tunas had a pet fish named Davis the Tuna.
But maybe that's just me.
What do we want?!

I downloaded it and I don't think it's the real thing. Here's a screengrab of some of my gameplay:
-=-=-= GRAND THEFT AUTO IV =-=-=-
A RockStar Games game
You are standing in the middle of Liberty City. There is a statue off in the distance. There are large buildings all around you.
You see several vehicles nearby: a Porsche; a F-150 pickup; a Beetle;
The street travels to the west and east from here. You can see seedy docks toward the east.
> look buildings
There are no buildings here.
> look cars
There are no cars here.
> look vehicles
You see several vehicles nearby: a Porsche; a F-150 pickup; a Beetle;
> hijack porsche
I don't know what you mean.
> attack porsche
I don't know what you mean.
> shoot porsche
You don't have any weapons!
> jack porsche
I don't know what you mean.
> jack Porsche
You move over to the Porsche, throw open the door, and pull the driver out.
...At this point it crashed... which is what makes me suspect that this isn't the real thing!
