This is a big loss for Nintendo and all of us. He was one of the few game CEOs who had risen up from lowly programmer all the way up. He was just such a genuinely nice-seeming guy. RIP.
I remember watching that crash and my heart sinking. I knew that he wasn't going to walk away, but I had hoped he would have been able to recover like Richard Hammond did. The sad thing is that the new F1 rules on helmet decorations might limit or prevent other racers from doing anything in honor of him in the race this coming 26th. If I was a driver, I'd say "Fuck It" and take whatever penalty the FIA DARED give.

I thought that the rule banned major helmet changes like when Vettel changed the design practically every race, but putting a "RIP Jules" on there wouldn't be a problem. They could also put it on the cars.

I remember going to a house built into a cliff in Lanzarote that he'd apparently won in a card game.
I never followed his wrestling career but he was great in his Always Sunny cameos.
