Just to give an idea of how great he was: earlier this year, our elderly dog Scout became sick with Lymphoma. We put together a GoFundMe. Vince, who I barely knew, caught wind of our situation and donated 1K to help us meet our goal and get more time with our dog. Forever grateful for that kindness.

The news about Vince Zampella is a horrific punch in the gut. Talk about having an impact with your career, holy cow. Here's a throwback to better times in 2013 with a Game Informer photoshoot on the roof of Respawn.

Last year we were hustling all the way through Christmas to get to $30k, this year we hit $30k so fast we had to do a stretch goal. We've been doing Winter Fundraisers for five years now. This was probably the easiest AND best one ever. I'm proud of us, and thankful to you.

I'm the Unreleased NES Games Guy, so "revive a lost NES game and get it officially released" has been on my bucket list for a long, long time. That it is a fundraiser cartridge with 100% of the profits helping even MORE preservation work happen is even cooler than I'd hoped. I'm proud of this.
