Writer of books, games and movies Tom Clancy died in a hospital yesterday morning. I am personally a huge fan of all his works, not sure how many others around here are.

Oh no.

Well, I'm in mourning now.

Must find all of my old books now.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that's sad. I liked his older works a lot better than his new ones, but still sad. Him and David Eddings really gave me a lot of my love for reading when I was a teen.

Not really a fan of his books, but his games take place in my favorites list.

That... is really surprising. He's a writer that I've always respected, since he has the patience (and the money to) to spend a ton of time writing, revising, reviewing, and critiquing his work before it gets published. It seemed as though every book he churned out has something that draws the reader in.
Just transferring my input over.

A moment of silence for a fallen hero.

That silence should of course be used to sneak up behind a terrorist and slit his throat.

I love him, but he never actually wrote any of his games or movies; those were done by separate entities he sold the rights to.

Do we know how he died? What happened to him? D:

It's unclear what Tom Clancy's level of involvement is in the games holding his namesake. Clancy did co-found Red Storm Entertainment, which is now a subsidary of Ubisoft.

So far as I know, they have declined to say past he died in a hospital.

Amen. He will be missed, he was a great author, I read a little of his works, my dad was a huge fan of his, so he's probably not too happy at the moment.

I could be wrong then! :3

Probably a foreign non-english speaking assassin of some sort that'll spark World War III with Splinter-Cell operatives needing to save the world and end it all prematurely. Hence why they won't disclose.
