I've been listening to all the old bombcasts lately and it sure made me realize how much I miss the guy. He was a lot of fun to listen to. RIP.

Ryan was the secret sauce that made the bombcast diversions what they are. Drew being in there and Jeff making his own recipe work is fine, but it's not the same.

Different flavors. End of an era, beginning of a new one. Hope it all turns out well.

Damn but I wish I'd heard his take on Next Gen, he was exactly the sort of guy who would lay the 'no nonsense or bullshit' hammer on all the spin that goes on in the early days.

 

[Jhriad]

After seeing this thread bumped I'm going to drink a finger of good whisky in honor of Ryan. Still miss listening & watching him on a weekly basis.

 

[Silky]

Merry Christmas, Ryan.

 

[Grisby]

Still miss him so much.

Me too.

Was thinking about how much he probably would have loved AC4.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Every time this gets bumped. Every time.

Damn it.

Miss you Ryan.

 

[Blueblur1]

I still think about Ryan a lot. Especially when listening to the Bombcast. That dude was something special.

 

[Darklord]

I just still can't accept we will NEVER have another piece of Ryan content. Not a quick look, not a bombcast, not a cameo, not a GOTY list, nothing. I was looking at the list on GB called funniest quick looks and he's in like 90% of them. He just had a great sense of humour. I miss that dude.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Thoughts and prayers with his family, must be incredibly tough to go through the holiday season missing a colossus.

Nur içinde yatsın.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

merry xmas Ryan. just reading the thread title made my stomache sink. ive dealt with family loss a lot in the last few years, having those kinds of feelings towards someone i never met, or knew on a personal level is crazy. pouring one out for you and yours on xmas day. much love

 

[Alo81]

My best wishes go out to his widow Anna.

It seems like it's been really rough on her.

For what it's worth, I watched Die Hard with my GF and it totally is a Christmas movie regardless of is she agrees or not.

 

[badams]

Can someone please close this thread, so I never have to see this bumped again

 

[Dark Octave]

Ah. I listen to the bombcast every week and old quicklooks. I still find myself missing his input and personality on the show.

 

[yatesl]

I was watching some of those "Best of Giant Bomb" videos on YouTube during a break at work, and I always get a lump in my throat when I suddenly hear Ryan chatting and laughing about something - especially the Harry Potter quick look, and that Kinect sports game with the horse racing.

But yeah, we really need to close this topic.

 

[PalaceBrother]

Still haven't finished the 6/25 podcast. Don't know if I will. Like everyone here, I really miss his voice every week.

 

[Neuromancer]

I like to think Ryan wouldn't want a bunch of people sitting around being bummed out on his account. Have a beer, spend time with your friends and family and play some video games today.

 

[Rootbeer]

Once again, in remembrance... Goodbye, my man.

At the end of the year we once again remember those we have lost throughout. It is suitable for this thread to rise again.

We are closing in on a million views, too.

 

[Odrion]

I miss Ryan Davis.

 

[Nokterian]

Still miss him gonna rewatch TANG on giantbomb.

 

[Flandy]

It's cruel bumping this on Christmas.

 

[Hip Hop]

The thread title.

still can't believe it.

 

[NIN90]

Is there any GB thread where all known RTD tributes are collected? Like that graffiti one.

 

[shem935]

Merry Christmas Ryan

 

[Figboy79]

I didn't read/follow Giant Bomb, but I saw this thread, and checked it out, and saw that Davis passed away on July 3rd, at age 34.

My birthday is July 3rd, and I turned 34 that day. Pretty crazy coincidence.

It's always a shame when someone dies so young. I don't know who Ryan Davis is, but stuff like this always makes me sad.

[wizzbang]

Well I guess it's as good a time as any, you should all tweet out a merry christmas to @enemynanner keep Ryans wifes spirits up. She's a really nice lady, yeah her account is locked down on twitter because of some tools but I'm sure she'd really appreciate some christmas love from people across the world.

<3

 

[Loxley]

You had to bump this on Christmas?

Sigh.

*edit - Yes I realize I'm part of the problem.

 

[feel]

Man this thread title shocks me every time I see it for some reason. I mean, I know he died but my brain kinda forgets for a split second while it processes the text.


edit-
wait did I just needlessly bump this a day later, saw it on my subs and mistook it for the normal first page of Gaming, real sorry

 

[bistromathics]

Well since it's already bumped...

Still miss the guy. Flushing an uneaten xmas pie down the toilet in his honor.

R.I.P., duder

 

[Hip Hop]

Sorry for bumping this thread, but this will be the first time with no Ryan Davis at E3.

He was the life of those Daily E3 after hours streams they did. Those shows were one of the highlights of E3 for me and had been tuning in since 2011/2012. I'm not big on podcasts or streams so that was the only time I would sit down and watch them. A lot of good shit man.

Gonna be something different this year. It's gonna be weird not seeing Ryan there. R.I.P.

Almost a year since his passing

 

[K.Sabot]

Thanks for bumping the thread, had a heart palpitation for a second

 

[TheFNEffecT]

brutal thread to see again on page 1

 

[Santiako]

why why why would you bump this

Damn straight. Its going to be sad watching those without the big guy.

Also sad because this is the last major event we saw him in before his passing. That's going to be a sad anniversary. I hope the GB guys do something small and tasteful (or huge and ridiculous in Ryan's style) to commemorate him. Maybe make an annual event out of it, Ryan Davis day, and do some charity stream/event?

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

It's amazing how someone I never met, meant so much to me. His opinion mattered to me. His death still bothers me, and while typing this, I still get watery eyes thinking about how much I miss his wit and laugh.

This is the first E3 without him, and it's already noticeable to me. I hope the GB crew will be ok.

I wish I could have run into him at E3 last year. I ran into Patrick though. Really cool guy.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Most hurtful bump ever

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Damn it, just when I was starting to feel better after seeing a sticker of Ryan on Tim Schafer's desk in his "Tim Plays Grim Fandango" video.

 

[dripdripsplash]

I don't know the guy but just married too ? Must be hard for all those around him.

RIP

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

I get shocked as much as the first time reading this title every time it gets bumped for no good reason.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

why why why would you bump this

we're coming on the 1 year anniversary of his death I'm sure it would have been bumped eventually.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw the thread title again after so long.

But this is a respectful bump as far as I'm concerned. First E3 without Davis. Damn...

Will keep missing this dude, and gaming on in his honor.

 

[meanspartan]

we're coming on the 1 year anniversary of his death I'm sure it would have been bumped eventually.

I guess but not til like July right?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Most hurtful bump ever

This. This so much.
Man...

 

[antitrop]

It hurts, but he deserves to be remembered.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Most hurtful bump ever

Yup, His death still pains me to this day..I miss the big guy.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Why would you bump this?

 

[FunnyBunny]

I get shocked as much as the first time reading this title every time it gets bumped for no good reason.

Not ashamed to say Ryan was the only public figure who's passing caused me to cry. Seeing this thread bumped hurts so much.

 

[Gestault]

I didn't like this bump.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I guess but not til like July right?

Yeah, but this is the first Ryan-less E3. Ryan made E3 better. That's just a fact.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I bet Ryan would say this bump was dumb. I miss hearing him say something was dumb, even though really liking it.
