R.I.P Engineer

Laughing gas used to be used at birthings and at the dental clinics up until a few years ago when they got banned. (at least here in norway). I'm surprised that americans still use it with how america usually is.

what!!!!! no!!!!! engi was the man

Yeah I'm surprised that dental practices still use it too. I haven't seen it in Canada but I also havent had any major dental surgery.

Its still pretty common. Anesthesiologists have one of the most risky jobs in medicine... lots of shit can go wrong when putting someone under. The father of my best friend in highschool was an anesthesiologist, he had plenty of horror stories about bad reactions some people have to certain anesthetics. Very sad

It's still used here in Germany as well. When I got all my 4 wisdom teeth removed a few months ago they asked me if I wanted to be put under with laughing gas, and after reading on the internet that it can kill you, I said fuck that I'll go with local anesthesia.

Yeah that was probably a good choice. I've also removed my wisdom teeth with just local anesthesia and I thought it was kick ass hearing the bones grinding and the guy working so hard in my mouth without feeling a thing haha

Anyways, its always sad that so many people have to die before someone important gets the memo.

way to stay on topic.

Never met him here or on IRC but RIP

way to stay on topic.

If you read the all the posts instead of just the last one you'd realize that a small rant about laughing gas actually is on topic.

Also, I'm curious, since you think its so important to stay 100% on topic; How is your post on topic?

If a post is off-topic please just ignore it and move on, I don't want this thread turning into an argument.

So, question. The obituary says he died at home. This doesn't sound very logical if he died from an overdose of laughing gas and painkillers. Do we know any more details?

I'm not sure, that's what we heard from his family. Maybe it happened after he went to sleep.

It doesn't matter really though.

woh, remember him a bit from the IRC times. Sad news, RIP

remember him.. RIP engy

wow i turn my back for just a minute and all this crazy stuff is happening... i remember this guy too - as he was the only other dude from arkansas in the community that i knew of (at the time). sad shits.

Never knew him :/, but yeah; all the best to his family if they happen go through here

Man ages since I've been here. Just too busy...

As mentioned previously, Engineer was part of the original Ham and Jam team (amongst over mods) and we wrote a little piece about him on our blog:

http://www.hamandjam.org/2011/09/in-mem ... er-keesee/

It's amazing when you do a bit of Googling just how many games he contributed to. I've found sound and weapon packs he's made for stuff as far back as Duke Nukem.

It's been a month since it happened and I'm still genuinely bummed out about it.

Yeah me too, .... every now and then I'll sign onto AIM and I used to see him on there all the time. Now it just says "engineer is offline"

Yeah I can't bring myself to delete him from my contact list.

I'm not gonna delete him. What's the point. I'd rather he stayed on my contact list. Remember the good times.

Guys... He's dead. As much as it hurts, we need to move on.
