Internet game reviewer JewWario, one who specialized in helping others play Japanese games, killed himself last Thursday. His name was Justin Carmichael.

It contains clips.](http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/42100-in-loving-memory-of-justin-carmical) He was 42. He shot himself while his wife tried to help him from the other side of the bathroom door. ☹ ---
