Monty Oum has been hosptilised
Well, this came as kinda shock to me.
Monty is the animator of red vs blue at rooster teeth, and the creator of RWBY.
Regardless of your opinion on the shows, there was no denying that he has a lot of talent when it comes to animating, and overall, seems to be a nice and hardworking.
However, it seems that he's had a major medical emergency, (details are unclear, his family wants to keep it private), and it seems to be touch and go at this point in time. I hope he recovers,
TLDR; people dying sucks.

For those who dislike watching videos to get news: [quote][url=http://roosterteeth.com/news/entry.php?id=5427280]It is with great regret that I must inform you that our co-worker and our dear friend, Monty Oum, has had a medical emergency. He is currently hospitalized in critical care and it is not known if he will recover. He is receiving the best medical care possible and is surrounded by both family and friends who love him very much. While we wanted you to know as soon as possible, we also have the utmost respect for Monty's privacy and we hope you will understand and share in that respect. Monty is a tremendous talent who has accomplished so much in his young life. He has an amazing creative ability and the drive to put it to use. That is a rare combination and we are proud to have shared in it. We expect that this news will be shocking to most of you and very difficult to process. It has been for many of us as well. Our hearts are with Monty, his wife Sheena and his brothers & sisters. They will need your good thoughts, your prayers, whatever kindness you have to offer. A fund has been been established to assist Monty's family with his medical expenses. If you wish to show your support in that fashion, please visit this link. We love you, Monty.[/url] [/quote] The Reddit discussion about it seems to point to the fact he routinely works himself into the dust, pulling 18 hour days and power napping during crunch times. He's not exactly a healthy looking person, everywhere I've seen him online he looks like someone peeled him off the bathroom floor and put fresh clothes on him. Entirely possible he had some sort of heart issue or seizure. <3 you Monty, get better, man.
