Hugh Hancock, the founding father of Machinima and subsequently Strange Company has unexpectedly passed away.
RIP Dude.
Machinima was a big part of my teenage years especially during my Halo 2/3 years.
Thought he'd at least get a mention on the Youtube channel or even the Machinima website as it probably wouldn't have existed without him. Sad though, RIP.
RIP
I haven't watched Machinima since Halo 2/Halo 3 but I really enjoyed it back then.
