Is this the guy actually in the videos, or a producer for his channel?

//edit

n/m it's not.

More importantly, this Logan Tittle chick is fairly cute. And her name is appropriate too.

we need guns so we can defend ourselves!

oh wait

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

don't know why the article focused so much on his tweet.

more importantly, how was he killed? was he trying to defend himself?

This just in...... Kyle Myers (aka fpsrussia) is not from Russia! That cheesy accent and CGI explosions fool no one.

Left behind a 2 year old son and wife... . RIP.

 

[mizzou]

It fooled me at first.

There are so many Eastern European countries, and variations in the strength of accents...I guess I thought he could've been from somewhere former-USSR-ish. Also sometimes foreigners exaggerate stereotypical accents for comic effect. I though maybe he was doing a Yakov Smirnof...

Plus I never really saw any of his shit until he started testing weird larger stuff that seems more like something someone dug out of an old Soviet bunker.

Speaking of which, the thread title made me think I was going to see an article with a title like 'FPSRussia guy accidentially shoots self with 88mm mortar' or something.

As many of you already know I lost a close friend this week I ask only that you show respect to the situation for the family's sake.

well duh. I think pretty much everyone knew that or figured it out fast.

if you notice some of the vehicles they use have US markings on them. One had a State DOT sticker

I love that guys Youtube channel. Wow...................

 

[lupi]

Snow slope accident?

 

[sandorski]

Strange. Sad.

RIP

 

[Printer Bandit]

any videos of FPSRussia using his real accent? He had me fooled all this time.

Any more news or updates? Something seems a bit strange. Suspects? Motives?

WTF, Good riddance. Who the hell would wish that.

Madness. One step beyond.

It took more brain power than expected to decipher that statement. Ugh.

I don't own a gun. But I think it would be crazy to go walking around hoping for trouble to come up so that they can shoot someone.
