I guess if I edited out his real name from the story then it should be OK for sound off.
Wow, that's horrible. Hope things turn out ok.

The doctors said that every bone in his skull was fractured.
He's lucky to have so many people here that care and are willing to help him out, I hope he makes a smooth recovery.
This is fucking terrible. My thoughts and prayers are with you Cap, get well soon.
Fuckin' A right we should. I've got 4 baseball bats and an air pistol in my trunk, keep me appraised.Quote:

And I hope the guys that did this shit to him are currently using the money they lifted off him to have unprotected sex with AIDS-infested hookers and will soon find themselves slowly dying.
Fucking punkass bitches. I hope they get DP'ed and then shit on by rabid dogs.
I also support contacting Epic plan.
Get well soon Gay Papa. :cry:
Dying slowly would mean they might get a chance to do this crap to someone else. I hope they get hookers with razors in their vags and acid-shooting tits.Quote:

I'm all for joining the angry mob for some vengeance. Get well soon Cap.
Wow. That is some insane shit. I hope he's able to post in next years I hate Valentines Day thread.
oh, so it's ok to joke now?
If only I had waited a whole 8 hours.
Big difference man, Error is a classy dude.
Jesus Fuck, man. I just saw this on a bulletin Nick posted on Myspace. This is pretty messed up.
Cap, when you read this, I hope you didnt have too much trouble healing up and that you got better sooner rather than later, and Im sorry this shit happened to you. Man, we need to get KidNemo and Pa plane tickets out to see you so they can teach you the martial arts.
Yeah, Im really not liking this either. What kind of friends just fucking leave you when you are trashed?Quote:

I'm sure Kid's a badass, but if he was in Cap's place he's be in the hospital with a broken skull as well.
80's action movies are awesome, but not at all realistic.
Or worse, if he happened to hurt one of those dudes, they may have taken it to an even worse level.Quote:

the facebook group has updates.
He's still connected to a respirator and feeding tube but apparently he's coming around. Doctors are unsure as to whether or not there will be long-term brain damage, but they are optimistic.
I don't do facebook so please keep us in the loop cow.
... or if the gang is made up of Vietnamese guys.Quote:

I swear to god if these assholes gave him brain damage, I'm sicking my fucking mean ass Jewish lawyers on their asses. I'll pay for it. Not because OMG I want TNL to love me, but because these motherfuckers should never see the sun again without being hand cuffed.Quote:

That would be awesome Weeman. I just heard the news, that's so awful. I hope he'll be alright.
He probably would have been, but I dont think it hurts to know how to get a few hits in before you go down. But then again, maybe they'd one-up you and just pull a knife or gun. Who knows? Honestly, there probably isnt shit you can do in a situation like this except to be a little more on the cautious side and do your best to try and not set yourself up for it. And in our situation, to learn from it, and not go home with 'strange friends' at some bar.Quote:

I was totally shocked when I read about this on my myspace bulletin...:(
Anybody who does something like this to another human being really doesn't deserve to live. I hope these people are caught, and hopefully they'll rot in jail for a long long time.
yes Nick. it's all right.Quote:

The Long-term effects are looking positive too, since his brain seems to be working right and he doesn't seem to need surgery to repair anything major.
They said he should just be able to wear a brace around his neck/head and everything should heal up naturally.
The police are still investigating the case, but they don't really have a whole lot of evidence to go on right now aside from the clothes he had on, as there aren't any witnesses that they can contact, and Cap isn't able to remember anything about the attackers at the moment.
With any luck, they're hoping to have him out of the hospital and back home in another week/week and a half.
His mom said gifts are OK too, if anybody wants to help out, but not to worry about the hospital bills.
Good news. Let us know when to hit up the Amazon list. :D
Glad to hear that he will be okay long term. The more I hear about the injuries, the more upset I am. As long as he heals up fine, then all's good.
Thanks weeman! Home in another week or so, that's awesome. Hopefully when he's feeling better, he'll be able to remember what happened. Thanks again for the update :)
Thank goodness it sounds like he dodged the brain damage bullet. This is a sick world we live in and unfortunately we see evidence of it everyday. Get well, kid.
Sigh, just fantastic news.
So whats the consensus here on what to get him?
We need to get it there before he gets home I'd think for maximum effect.
Audio field equipment seems to be the consensus.Quote:

like... "Red Ryder carbine-action, two hundred shot Range Model air rifle BB gun with a compass in the stock and a thing which tells time"
What?
I can get him a badass air rifle. A 1200 feet-per-second slug pounding motherfucker of an air rifle.
Let's get the ball rolling on the "let the gears dev tem know about it" idea.....DO IT NOW!
Drafts wanted please!
Damn homey. Get well soon. I hope that your health and life get well so you can move on from this all.
Whoever left Cap at the bar should have some idea who he was talking to, and from they can talk to the bartenders and bouncers. Someone saw him leave with these guys. They did not jump him from nowhere.Quote:

This is what I mean. Where did this come from if neither Cap or the muggers have weighed in and there are no witnesses?Quote:

I was told that all he remembers is leaving the bar, getting into the car with the muggers, then telling them that they were driving in the wrong direction, which is probably the point at which they knocked him out.Quote:

Maybe the docs don't want him stressed out thinking about it yet, but there's gotta be something there. And there's gotta be a ton of witnesses. I am not liking the cops in this story so far.
Just wanted to reiterate what everyone else has said. Sad news indeed, we're pullin for you Cap, get well soon.
I'm just glad to hear it sounds like he's going to be all right, that's what is really most important in the end. I really hope some one is drafting up that letter to Epic.
That is so terrible. My deepest sympathy, Cap. I hope you don't have any long-term damage. Hang in there, man.
Very encouraging update. Get well soon Cap.
At least they fucking found him, which is more than I usually expect from them.Quote:

More of the same from me that everyone else has already said.
Hope you recover as close to 100% as possible. Very Sad news indeed.
Will donate when I can. (Maybe not this week, mayhaps next week?)
Thats fucked up. I have nothing else to say here, except I'm behind everyone on this too.
I say put the donations toward a P.I., if the cops aren't gonna do their fucking job.
Capitan already has bad ass shit; I mean his TV, computer and systems are pretty dank.
We should get him something not electronic, but still related to his hobbies. Is there a really expensive GoW statue set out there? Or what's his favorite CoD4 weapon? Can we get him a replica?
The letter thing to the gow team or whatever seems like the best idea.
This is better than I would have said it. Jesus.Quote:
I can't even fathom what would bring a degenerate to do this kind of shit.
Godamns, my sincerest hopes that ElCapitan fully recovers from this ordeal, glad to hear about the no long term effects thing. Dude will bounce back from this in no time and then its motherfucking vigilante vengeance time. I'll pity those muggers when Capitan finds them, on second thought, no I won't.
Get well cap.
the chainsaw gun replica that Cliffy B had at the GDC is what we should be asking for.Quote:

i don't think it's time for that yet. we should ask bailey.
You think I'm kidding. Show me these muggers, get me some pikes, and a spoon and I'll show you.

we pulled together for josh's bass and that was just a christmas present. if we can't get $500 (when Nick is already matching $250) then we have a lot of cheap fuckers here. i would like to see Epic's reaction first.Quote:

I am sure we can hit 500. OUr goal is 1000, with Biff chipping in 749.
then one guy donating one dollar granderoho and Nick matching 250 of Biff's money?
Here's an update from the Facebook page (hope it's OK to re-post here):
Quote:
Feb. 22
Talked to Erik and he definitely sounds different, but he says he is doing well. He is able to sit up and is getting better. There is still fluid in his lungs but he is feeling better. He is still wearing a neck-brace, but they are hopeful that he may be able to go home as soon as Monday.
Here's the deal Nick, you get me a total, and I'll ship him a gift of equal value to what TNL comes up with.
Someone tell him to throw some games onto his amazon wishlist.
Looks like we are pretty much on our own with this gift giving thing, his Amazon wish list just doesn't feel right.
Jesus. This is crazy. I hope you get well soon Cap. I hope those fuck sticks get ebola.
We made the $500.00, don't worry.Quote:

I'll try to donate what I can. Nobody deserves what Cap got.
So is he getting released tomorrow?
I saw the donation thread first and thought maybe his car got broken into or his house caught on fire or something, but this is much, much worse. I'm in fucking awe of how people could take such advantage of someone else, especially someone as nice as Cap. Fuck this. Get better man, we miss you!
I was going to try to call his mom and get another update today, but by the time I got done with all my work it was 11:00 PM. :(
I'm free for sure tomorrow after 5 PM , though, so expect an update around 6:00 - 8:00 PM EST or so.
Thanks for keeping us up to date Weeman.
Jesus Christ, I go away for a weekend and this happens. Fuck.
Reading this literally makes my chest hurt.
Wordsmith imo.Quote:
