Thank you for posting this ... I hadn't seen the news, yet.

A sad day for his fans ... and a chance for Terry to finally have a good long chin-wag with one of his greatest creations.  :(

“There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.”

― Terry Pratchett

That made me both laugh and cry. The guy was a true genius.

"I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop." R.I.P Terry Pratchett!

Wow.  This is sad news indeed.  :(  Loved the DiscWorld games for the Playstation.  I never looked into the books or any of the PC games, but I can only imagine how great they were.

Shame indeed.  I had this game for the PS1, good stuff.
