Remembered. Always and forever.

I’m glad it’s never dying. It was definitely a grim moment coming for the guy. They no war at their doorstep over there.
AJPreller
Truly one of the greatest stories ever told.
MagicBackPack
Reminds me of our Day of Defeat:source clan master when i was 16-17. Committed suicide, last online: 4089 days ago, miss yah Gremlin
madrooter833000
Wow man. That grim
mikeatc
Remember the my name is Earl episode where the online gamer guy died and everyone was worried about him
Shamwowser
The saddest part was how he only knew his best friend online and then it turned out they were neighbors.
balentay
This quote always gives me chills, especially the "I will return" part. Of course, we all know tragically how this story ends :c
Evenlymade
MIA, never dead.
notintoyoga
One of the few pics you can post without context, and everyone still understands
Ulthirm
Friend from another country, he got stuck in a civil uprising, last was one 7 years ago, none of our friends have contacted him, even irl
One's, no one knows if he's even still alive.

Whenever I see that, I get goose bumps.

I like to believe he made out just fine but he just can’t remember his password to log in or the email password to reset it.

Better this than that other "Never let this die" upvote whoring post.

ok, I appreciate the story but I hate that this is the picture that goes with it. I prefer the original post...

I’m very glad I live in a country where only those who choose to sign up have to face the horrors of war...1/2
....and everyone else can live in relative peace. It’s something we should never take for granted.
5NoteHalf
shortly after 9/11 they were talking about increasing the draft age. I NEVER wanted to sign up but had to, to qualify for Pell grants 1/2
I'm ABSOLUTELY not cut out for military life, but you MUST, if you are male, sign up for selective service to get any sort of federal loan.
Followup: I was ALMOST out of the age where I could be drafted when they started floating that idea, and I was briefly worried/PISSED OFF.
Wait, drafted? Where are you from?

PepperoniPizzzaa
I'll forever hate the uprising in Syria, as from then on every Syrian innocent or not is stigmatized as being (potential) terrorist :(

Hey buddy, fuck you

Muslims are people man they are not some 1 dimensional beings. They have hopes and dreams ,they have lives,families and friends,

Shedding tears for Takfiri/Wahabi terrorist...great. Don't mourn him, he'll get his 72 virgins when SAA puts a tag on his toe.
imnotinprisonhidingaphoneinmybutt
Fuck off crybaby troll.
Oh fuck you
When you align yourself w/ folks who will cut off a 12 yr old boy's head w/ a kitchen knife and film it, you're on the wrong fuckin side
I gotta say, sending this from Syria, he's not completely wrong. Idlib, last cornerstone for Jabhat Alnusra and the like, gonna start soon
As soon as next month that is. All that remains is north regions under Kurdish control said to give back control to government.
And of course regions under Turkish control who literally controls what's left of the slightly less extreme opposition. Turkey = Russia.
Noodle4Lyf
This was during the Arab uprising in the Egypt I believe. Two COD players were like brothers. When the uprising started the Arab friend sent

I wishbi could believe this stuff. And the way greentext is written makes it more unbelievable than a normal random internet post
PonyOberkommando
The fact that they have absolute anonymity and no internet points to chase makes greentexts MUCH more believable than some stuff on here.
lildude52ca
the older i get the more this gets to me. did the dudes account ever sign back in does anyone know?
YoloSwagginsAndTheKnightsOfTheRoundTable
I mean... its probably not a real story. But according to the lore he never signed back on.
hoopsnek
We await his return
DukePhelan
A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.”
GCRust
He shall return in gaming's darkest hour.
spookyactionatadistance
It can happen here

It's a 4chan greentext. Pretty high likelihood for not being real.
NotVerySympathetic
It's real to us damnit
ktastic
I rem seeing the op on 4chan itself and had been watching the whole arab spring go down since day one. I looked into it back the , last 1/?
Time online matched up with one of Gadafis forces major pushes on rebel stronghold cities before the UN stepped in with the no fly zone 2/3
I would bet serious money it was real....
lolapples
I wanna believe.
Gnago
Ye have little faith
CAntthenuclearapocalypsecomesoicanjustdiealready

Staxcellence
If the sentiment of the story (truth or fiction) changes just one individual, making them a better person, it becomes real. We make it real.
ShootYourGooMyDude
I think a lot of 4chan greentexts are partially grounded in truth, with the exception of ones that are clearly memeing a punchline/song.
SirButcher
Almost everyone has a guy who was the most wonderful partner, and offline for years. We are waiting for them, forever.

Aurourus
4chan so it must be fake right?
lissik
Honestly? Yes.
I didn't speak in absolutes. Never suggested it *must* be fake.
Only sith deal in absolutes.
RexNihil
If I remember right, the guy died. Heart complications or cancer? Apparently the mom got on it, talked to the guy, thanked him
Killersmail
That was the Heavy weapons guy. This is different.
KLUSTENATOR
But the heavy weapons guy got a new heart. From a baboon.
ninjaguineapig
Nah, it's a different story. This guy apparently was fighting during the Arab spring or something
WolfoftheDeepMountain
Yep. Most likely got killed in an airstrike or inter-extremist firefight, considering the original time period.
nonCanadianGoose
Considering his online personality, he died covering a retreat or other movements
WardenTerror
That's what I like to think, that he went out true to his online personality, like a true hero and brother
NotAPervert

Possibly. Or Egypt. Or Syria. Etc.
This picture first appeared in a story about anti-ghadaffi fighters in the Libyan civil war. It’s from Libya.

“I have no idea where he Lives.” Arab Spring was many different countries
This picture first appeared in a story describing anti-Gadaffi fighters in the Libyan civil war. It’s Libya.

textilelover
I just don't care if someone gets a lot of points.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Not everyone abides by your “rule”
Not mine. Became common practice after people kept reposting the kid that saved his schoolmates.
Do you really care that much that others get completely useless points on a website?
Do you really care that much about a comment that I made about completely useless points on a website?
Yes, because you're promoting the point fever and generally being a bit of a twat.
I care about assholes trying to "profit" from sad stuff. Even if it's just imaginary points on the internet.
Wanzik4
OP has posted this atleast 3 times in a year. Might as well title it 1 like = 1 prayer! Or some bullshit. Pointwhoring others pain.

TheDivineUsersub
Honest question my empathetic online brothers and sisters... you think he's dead or simply never got around to a new computer?
Noob3rts
It may not be a new computer. Steam is a dick that can cuck you out of your account.
SPRIGGABENZ
I guess if he was alive he would have seen this by now and maybe said something?
The realist in me says he either died in one of hundreds of firefights fled as refugee or can’t afford/ or allowed to resume his gaming
AIhaitham
Or it's a fake story ,it is a greentext after all
The gamer in me however prays that he can be allowed to return. He sounds like a team player, they’re rare and beautiful people.
