It hurts, but he deserves to be remembered.

Agreed. He seemed like a pretty stellar guy. A great entertainer to be sure. It will be sad to not have him at E3 just how it is sad not to have him in general.

That said I hope the thread title doesn't mire the intent of the person that bumped this. I think he meant well.

 

[ProcHoliday]

I think this title needs to be changed. It might be a little hard to deal with if any of his closer friends stumble upon this.

I'm all for this as well, at least something to more remember him by and less to remember the incident...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

It's always super sad when this thread hits the front page. Makes sense though with E3 and Giant Bomb's coverage of the event coming up, I almost look forward to a week of Giant Bomb every night more than the event itself.

RIP Ryan

Giant Bomb's night shows have been the best part of E3 for the last few years for sure.

Should probably change the thread title. The anniversary if his passing is soon. If people want to post in the thread they shouldn't have to worry about anything.

 

[Shaanyboi]

This is like the worse thread bump ever, man. It's a year later and it isn't any less painful.

 

[m_shortpants]

I atill haven't listened to GB since he passed, and since WC went off a few months ago, I haven't listened to any podcasts in forever.

RIP Ryan.

I stumbled upon GB while looking for a gaming podcast for my commute. I started listening in September, so a couple months after his passing.

I listened, week by week, all the way to the memorial bombcast they did the week after. I haven't the heart to go any further...

 

[dargis49]

Didn't like Giant Bomb all that much, but still sucks. Dude seemed pretty damn cool when I could watch their quick looks.
Holy hell, this happened last year. Damn. Sucks no less though.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I still think about Ryan a lot, I tend to go back and watch some old GB videos so I see him a lot. He really was someone special and I'll never forget him.

 

[Aurongel]

Miss him like hell every Tuesday and I'll be missing him real bad next week.

 

[BeerSnob]

Please don't bump this thread

Every time I see this thread title I have a couple second of panic as I think it's breaking news and someone else has been lost.

 

[Spaghetti]

ugh what a gut-punch to see this thread again

 

[jon_dojah]

I swear the only people (whom I've never met) that made me cry when they passed were Micheal Jackson and Ryan Davis. And to this day I still do (sometimes in anger) because they are not here. Hope they are somewhere chillin together in heaven. I could so see that

 

[Aretak]

ugh what a gut-punch to see this thread again

Yep.

 

[Alo81]

Man, it really bums me out how he passed. It's such a simple thing that could have been prevented. Fuck man. Fuck.

 

[RE_Player]

Why would you bump this thread?

 

[Deadstar]

I didn't realize it when he was there but Ryan was/is my favorite Giant Bomb member. He brought everything together. He was the glue. He will be missed but he is now a legend.

 

[Hip Hop]

Why would you bump this thread?

I'm sorry guys,

I did it with the best of intentions, his one year was coming up and thought of him.

Has anyone contacted an online mod for a title change or something?

I just thought it would have been best to keep it in this thread. I apologize.

I don't think anyone is actually upset that you bumped it. Just bummed that we were reminded.

I think someone sent a message to Evilore but maybe someone could send something to another Mod.

 

[Bsigg12]

It sucks seeing this thread again. Damn.

 

[The Inventor]

Oh, no more bad news, please...he was so so young.

 

[Risible]

This is what I want to say to the guy who bumped this thread.

Every time I see the headline it's a little shock to my system. I think of Ryan every time I listen to the Bombcast.

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

Can't believe it's almost been a year. This thread was the first time I felt sick to my stomach aftwr seeing the thread title.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

The dude is the same age as me. I feel sorry for him. He died much too young.

 

[Handy Fake]

I wasn't around these parts when this was first posted, and this is the first I've seen of it.

34 is no age. See you on the flipside, young man.

 

[Proposed Law]

Still miss him every Tuesday. Don't bump this thread please.

 

[Krathoon]

Maybe it is time to lock the thread.

 

[SeventhSon]

Memento mori.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Mods can we get a title change on this please?

This still hurts.

Edit: Thanks.

 

[SeventhSon]

As it should be.

I'm all for a memorial thread, collection of awesome gifs and stuff.

 

[Stimpack]

Now this thread makes me happy =) Thanks, guys.

 

[Vire]

It's crazy how this still hurts as much as the day I found out. Always think about him when the Bombcast rolls around...

 

[Kerned]

Great title change. He's still missed very, very much.

 

[Pancakes]

I atill haven't listened to GB since he passed, and since WC went off a few months ago, I haven't listened to any podcasts in forever.

RIP Ryan.

I know what mean. Without Ryan's presence and snarky humor it's just not the same.

RIP Duder.

 

[Bsigg12]

Thanks for the title change.

 

[npa189]

The site and crew have had the wind sucked out of them the past year. The guy left a major hole and with scoops and now Vinny leaving SF it is essentially Jeff and Drew.

 

[Pyccko]

Goddamn, still such a bummer. Only time I've ever cried for someone dying who I wasn't related to. Definitely cut down listening to the bombcast since then, but I'm working my way through what I've missed recently.

Well anyways, RIP Ryan. Love ya, buddy.

poor Brad

 

[LNBL]

I never really followed Giantbomb and their podcasts. But I would like to listen to a few of them of Ryan, are there certain "must watch or listen"?

 

[Rickenslacker]

poor Brad

He left so long ago he doesn't even get mentioned.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Ryan was so great - once I get that sad feeling out of me, I'm going to marathon all the TANG episodes. Such good stuff, he's so damn snarky

Also, Persona 4 Endurance run character name "Charlie" was Ryan's pick IIRC - Vinny came up with Tunoku but I'm pretty sure it's Ryan shouting in the background to name the MC "Charlie".

Anyone that starts with his classic "Its Tuuuuuesday"

[Syphon Filter]

Miss him. He has the same bday as me. June 4.

 

[Blueblur1]

I still think of Ryan every once in a while. I often think about what his reaction would be to stuff like Microsoft's 180s and such. He was an immense personality that will never be duplicated. Even if it was for a couple of minutes I was so glad I got to say hi at PAX Prime 2010 and shake his hand. And I was even more delighted when he called people who watch the Persona 4 Endurance Run "lunatics" after I told him I loved the videos. Ryan being Ryan, man. Gotta love that dude.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Already taken care of.

Thank you

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Looking back even to his Gamespot days I think Ryan's taste in games was almost identical to mine, right down to championing stuff like Rayman 2 or Nuts & Bolts I don't think other people care much for nowadays. Not sure if I got the chance to say it here last year but it was a damn shame when he passed away.

Didn't the 180 happened around after e3,but maybe there was not a podcast for a while i think right?

They still haven't missed a podcast.

 

[Loxley]

Thank you for the thread title change! It was desperately needed.

 

[SeventhSon]

What would you guys think about having an unofficial "Ryan Davis Memorial Day" during E3?
