Gears of War Composer On Life Support - UPDATED

[Rad Party God]

Glad to hear he's going to be ok, we don't want another tragedy like the Brian Wood incident, although a bit different, it's always sad to hear a tragedy between developers.

Steven C. Miller is either the BEST short film maker ever or the WORST. Assuming it's the movie that has caused this.

 

[Nannernade]

Wow what happened I got lost in the post, I hope he's ok though.

 

[Bobzer77]

When I saw the "-UPDATED" part of the title I thought "oh well he must have died" seeing as all these stories tend to end in tragedy.

Glad to see my cynicism wasn't proven right today!

Get well soon.

By any chance, was Jesper Kyd at the bar that night?

Why? Is Jesper Kyd known for spiking drinks, or killing people with his mind?

 

[ssgt splatter]

I want to be 100% sure on this. This is the guy who composed the Gears of War 1&2 soundtracks and someone slipped him something in his drink as a joke?

 

[Madara XIII]

Poor guy!!

My prayers go out to the dude!

yeah, that's usually how people get hurt, by being the butt end of the joke.

 

[Canadian Briton]

I Hope he gets well and I'm happy to hear he is getting better.

 

[Fox242]

Glad to see that he is doing ok. My prayers are with him.

Well, to whoever druged Mr. Riepl, you are an ass! I love the soundtracks to Gears of War.

fd up if someone did dope his drink with something and this happened.

glad to see he is doing better, but what was the surgery for exactly?

 

[Enkidu88]

I'm still curious what exactly the problem was. Surgery isn't indicative of poisoning, unless it completely trashed an internal organ like a kidney, which is possible. I'm wondering if he was actually dosed or if being drunk at the party exacerbated an already existing condition.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Haven't played Gears, but hey, composers are cool and people dying isn't.
Best of luck and get better.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Just looked at his Twitter again, looks like he's gonna make it. Rejoice, a great composer will survive!

Although I'm still curious on what actually happened...

 

[Painful illusion]

I wish him and his family the best of luck. Hang in there man. How am I supposed to teach the locust chainsaw head removal 101 with out some good music?

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

While I don't hold gears of war music very high to me, if anyone does as much as I do with Martin O'donnel's work with Halo, then I sympathize with them.

He was the composer for the Assassin's Creed games
