may he rest in peace, one of the greatest Wii ISO uploaders.

Some of you people need to learn a thing called "respect", at least for those who aren't alive anymore... just coz you didn't know him doesn't mean you gotta be rude.

RIP, I didn't know you well, but I wish I did. We'll miss you forever.

If you don't post the source then how are we supposed to know who he is?
He was a moderator on a pirate site. We can't link to him.

Though many of us never knew who he was or what he did, some people benefited from his existence and he most certainly had friends and family.
That alone is reason enough for us to wish that he rest in peace.


Rest In Peace, HippyFreak.

This.

HippyFreak is known (by me, at least) as the compiler of one of the most extensive collections of Wii ISO files on the internet. He was presumably a pretty cool guy, and I'm positive his loss will break the hearts of his friends, family, and the beneficiaries of his hard work and commitment.

Regardless of your stance on piracy, a loss of a committed member of the scene is one that should be mourned. Goodbye and good luck, HippyFreak.

RIP some guy i had no idea existed, had zero effect upon me, and his passing won't make any difference to me at all.

It's always a shame when someone dies before their time, but this isn't really news beyond the site where he posted uploads. Are there really that few Wii uploaders or did he do something special?

He was an uploader on a fourm, I used to get wii games from him.
Now that I look back into my bookmarks, I remember Hippyfreak, he Uploads hundreds of Wii ISOs for people, Pal versions, patched, you name it.

QUOTE(Stevetry @ Dec 2 2010, 01:50 PM) HippyFreak who the hell is that and is he a Cars character or something ?
Way to be disrespectful.
+1

Also, That cars character in the OP, was his avatar, I believe. You know it's him if it has that one Cars character.

He will be greatly missed.
He was a legend in the Wii Iso community.
Keep on trucking my brother...

death is inevitable.
Funny, that was my first guess too.

Not heard of him myself, though it will clearly take its toll on those who did.
