SqrlEDIT: for anyone who is not in the loop and is totally confused, .boo/@LineMagix (Sean Reynolds) has passed away. Not a joke or troll - this is pretty clearly for real. According to Rafael, his parents found him in his bed Sunday morning. Cause of death is unknown/unclear at present.

I'm not the best person to post this, but I felt that people would want to remember and honor .boo in this thread.

Joining in 2010, .boo had a real hold on me, and I'd spent at least three hours, cumulative over a couple weeks, watching his tracks.

Later when he came back, I would come to know how chill and fun to talk to he was on the stream. I think the thing I'll remember the most was his great sense of humor.

Didn't know ya very well, but there are a lot of people here who can say differently and speak better about their experiences.

You were a pretty cool guy, and I value your opinions. Wish we could have talked more.

We may have not of got along at times, but I understand he was a big influence on us all.

Shit man, Boo was one of the realest guys I knew. Aside from his awesome personality (which I unfortunately didn't get to know and share as well as I could have), as a trackmaker he did so much for us, and that's the important thing. I hate to get all existential, but we're all gonna stop playing LR sometime, and while this tragically happened for him a bit earlier than he'd planned, his contributions are here to stay for the world (or at least us) to enjoy. He was put on this earth for a reason, and whether that reason was to share his awesome personality with everyone or to be an innovator and artist in Line Rider, he fulfilled it. Sean may no longer be here, but Boo is immortal.

The King of XY is dead; long live the King.



Love you bro.

Can someone tell me what the fuck happened??

I'd like to post something on his Facebook wall on our behalf. So if anyone has something to say for me to incluse, please do so.

Sean Reynolds had been working on an amazing project for the line rider community, unfortunately he was unable to finish it, but a recent version was sent to one of out members. The project will be released in some form and a dedication will be made to him. He was a beloved member of our site and will be missed dearly.

Did he actually state himself he left, or is he just on a hiatus?

Words come too short.
Boo was one of my best friends on this site. I'm staring at my computer, feeling like I should type a beautiful, emotional wall of text about him, while honestly I don't know what to say, or what to feel for that matter. It's so fucking depressing to hear about the death of an 18-year old boy, and especially when you talk about someone like Sean. He was a talented kid. Ambitious, creative and hilarious were words that suit him. Sean looked into the world with a smile, never lost his temper and was always interested in others. Even though i've never seen him in real life, I'm typing this with a heavy head and tears in my eyes. It feels like a piece of our community has broken off, never to be repaired. It depresses me that there'll never be a track from boo again.

Just watched Noctural and Gone. Those tracks have a whole different vibe now. I'll seriously miss the hell out of you man. God fucking dammit, why did this happen. I wish I could be there for you and your family now, but you're infinitely far away.

Crap, my shirt is wet now. RIP dude.

I'll write something for his friends and family later, this isn't the time.

That's just crazy... Didn't mean to offend anyone, it didn't occur to me that he could have died. That's just insanely depressing. What the hell.

I'm having a hard time putting my emotions into words right now. So sad to see you gone though, and I wish his family the best in this time. I like the idea of a tribute collaboration, maybe have each portion of track dedicated to a different track of his?

Edited the OP so people aren't completely out of the loop like ZNF.

I knew him for some years back when I played LR and I have to say that he was definitely one of the best people that this community had to offer. I would talk to him as much as I could since he'd always brighten my mood. I was always a bit worried about his behavior and habitual drug use so I'm more saddened rather than shocked. My condolences to his family and better friends.

This is a real surprise. I'd have never thought one of us would ever leave. This is one of the places I have always felt safe. I've always thought of this site as a mountain, where nothing changes and I can always feel at home. I've seen people come and go, but I never thought someone would leave forever.

I didn't talk to him much, but he was a huge inspiration to me. He talked me out of hating one of my tracks and I finished it because he believed in me. He was very nice every time I saw him around here, and it saddens me that the community has lost such a loved member.

.Boo, you will be missed. Not only because your tracks were amazing, but because of what you meant to everyone here. Thank you.

I didnt get to talk to him much, but in the times I did he was a really great person, he will be missed.

Boo wasn't just another valued player or a good trackmaker, he stood out in everything he did. His friendship was unmatched, and he was often pressed for time simply because of how much he took out of his day to be a friend to anybody he felt might need it, whether it be here at WRTL or in real life. I never met the dude, but I feel like I've lost a life-long friend. I've only heard his voice personally one time through skype, but his voice rings true immortally in his tracks.
I'm usually one to be very cheesy in things I say, but this is different. .boo changed my life. He was already an established member of the community when I came back. He was responsible for one project, Limitations, which is one of the things that motivated me to keep playing. Without this game, I can't imagine where I'd be.
He kept us going and, not just saying this: He was an inspiration to us all.

Dang, I just exchanged messages with .boo a week ago about a collab. I was in shock this morning when I got the news. He was so pumped about it and everything, too. "The master and the student shall both improve!" and everything. He had no problem giving me a ton of helpful advice about my trackmaking. Really wish I could have gotten to know him better, he seemed like a great person.

I didn't really talk to him much, but I've known .boo and his tracks for years. Just a couple weeks ago I remember being in chat with him. I was keeping tabs on Mt. Olxympus and I'm looking forward to seeing what he made. I am truly sad and I wish for the best for his friends and family.

Heaven better have XY snap in their version of LR...

Less than a week ago, Boo and I were on skype talking about our collab.  He was passing it off to me after putting him in a difficult space recycling position.  And now I'm here with the collab and I can't continue it. Not because of the reason he thought: that it was too difficult, but it's even more difficult than he could imagine... I can't bring myself to make any lines.  Both of us thought it was some of the best XY ever.  Well, maybe he thought his own Mt. Olxympus was better haha.

I just can't believe that he's gone. We loved the same music, had the same humor, and enjoyed each others' work.  But he's gone now, and when someone that great and big enters your life, a similar sized hole is left in it when they leave.  He was a great person, a wonderful friend, and he will be missed dearly.

Man. I'm so upset. I loved boo's work; he's always seemed like a creative and ambitious guy. I'm gonna miss him.

Also goes to show how I've been taking this awesome community for granted. Boo was one of the great members that made this place special.

I didn't know Boo well, but he's part of the reason why we're all still here, in WRTL. He was one of us.

My condolences to his friends and family.

He should be the first post-mortem LRL. Maybe the next WRTL CSP should be one of his tracks.

Nocturnal!

I actually can't believe this. Boo was the first real friend I made on this site so many years ago while we were both in middle school. I didn't have many friends back in those years, but I could always look forward to coming home and chatting up this goober. I'm actually in tears right now. This guy was literally a brother to me.
