My wife and I regularly had downtime to post on Facebook and twitter during our honeymoon, it's not that abnormal.

I post like 4-5 things to Facebook a year so I guess I found it to be quite extreme. Also, I enjoy not checking Facebook or e-mail at all during vacation so you can actually relax. But whatever you enjoy I guess.

 

[MikeDip]

My condolences to his family and friends, especially his new wife.

 

[ultranova17]

I can hear his "Hey everyone it's Tuesday" perfectly in my head.

RIP

 

[Corky]

Damn that's a real shame. Shit...

Rest in peace Ryan.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Terrible news.

RIP Ryan.

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

Twitter seems to imply that his brother-in-law found him in whatever state he was in on July 3. So, I'm going with either sleep apnea or a massive heartattack.

Its natural to want more information about the situation. But speculating on it leads to rumors which are never good

 

[Einbroch]

I don't know how the rest of the crew can ever go back there, record another video, another podcast... without Ryan.

Time. Everything fades in time.

 

[Tantalus]

For years now I have been excited to come home on a Wednesday afternoon. Just so i could press play and hear that familiar 'hey everyone its Tuesday! ... and you are listening to the Giant Bombcast, I'm your host Ryan Davis...' Thank you Ryan. For bringing so much joy and happiness into all of our lives.

My heart goes out to his family and friends. Lets blast those summerjams louder than ever.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

I don't know who he is but passing away at 34 and, days earlier, just got married. Wow.

May he rest in peace.

 

[John Rabbit]

still some of my proudest work. fuck.

"Hey, everybody, it's Tuesday!"

It's painful to realize that we will never hear those words from him again. It's the passion that guys like Ryan brought to Giant Bomb that inspired me to become deeply passionate about this hobby and industry, during a certain low in my life. As Nick Robinson said, it says a lot about the work Ryan has done that so many of us internet strangers feel like we've lost a real blood relative.

Thank you Ryan for making the world a more joyful place, and my best wishes to his friends and family during these hard times.

I think we can all be a little sillier today and maybe even from now on, if only to honor his absence. I wanted to meet him someday and tell him he inspired me to get an industry job.

 

[ProtoCents]

Oh my god... Devastating. Feel so bad for everyone that personally knew him. Incredible person.

 

[Giggzy]

How tragic. What a horrible thing to wake up to. RIP Ryan

 

[GringoLOCOo]

RIP Ryan Davis

Started following the Giant Bomb crew on Gamespot and all the way to the Arrow Pointing down podcast and then Giant Bomb, for me Ryan was the face of Giant Bomb and definitely well be missed

even though i didnt know you personally i always thought of you as a friend .

I always enjoyed watching and listening to you every week, and to me you just bought something unique to the podcast and the countless other entertaining videos that you did that nobody well ever match,

RIP Friend

 

[RaGMasTeR90]

My god i cant belive this Thoughts out to his family and wife.

RIP Ryan

 

[Proven]

Seriously, what the fuck.

 

[Dug]

Fuck, tearing up and listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmuFBK26TtE

Been tearing up listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03qBqP2I4p8

 

[Dark Schala]

I can hear his "Hey everyone it's Tuesday" perfectly in my head.

RIP

Christ, now this got me to cry.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Im not buying this - the man dies on 7/3, Will from Tested airs his podcast the day after and talks about how great the wedding was, and now we are getting semi-serious tweets Kessler, Gertsman and Snider.

Hell, Gertsman was tweeting the usual nonsense up until a few hours ago.

Maybe I'm just in denial.

It's very, very wierd. The say the he died on the 3rd. I just checked and his last tweet was on the 3rd at 9PM.
Either something very bad happened to him and was hospitalized until a couple of days ago, or I don't know.

Since he was on his honeymoon, the other GiantBomb crew probably didn't want to bother him. But it's wierd that them being friends, they only found out today (because Jeff woudln't be tweeting nonsense otherwise)

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Christ, that's utterly devastating, 34 is too young. I've only been listening to the Bombcast for a little while and getting to know who everyone is but was happy to hear about Ryans wedding, my heart goes out to his family and friends.

 

[AppleMIX]

I'm still processing this. Jesus Christ.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Unreal. I am so sad. Ryan Davis had a voice for radio and he was, in my opinion, the thing that set the Bombcast apart from any other gaming podcast -- or really, any other podcast/radio show in general. He truly had a way with words and making conversation... I will miss his humor, wit, and insight. I've been listening to the Bombcast for the past three years now and it's never going to be the same without him. He made the show, he really did. I've already been pretty down lately and this is not helping anything. Ugh.

I honestly cannot believe this. RIP, Ryan Davis, you will be missed.

Yeah Ryan Davis did have a voice for radio. Giant Bomb is different from any other gaming podcast as they really have a pro sound and not some stumbling amateur sound.

 

[badb0y]

Holy Shit.

R.I.P.

 

[waypoetic]

Why are we getting this news Now? I remember when one of my favorite singers died last year and i found out about like a few hours after it'd happened.

 

[Sickboy007]

I can't believe this.

 

[YuriLowell]

Ive been following him and jeff since 2002.
God this sucks so badly.

 

[Requiem]

Wow...that's just...my god


RIP

 

[Vargavinter]

Wha..............t?

[Mr. Enigma]

 

[Erudite]

I've been following him and the GiantBomb crew since the Gamespot days. So sudden and unexpected.

RIP Ryan. You will be missed.

 

[No_Style]

Oh man.. what a bummer.

RIP, sir.

 

[hwalker84]

Wow too early. Weight related?

 

[Majine]

My twitterfeed is overwhelming. People in the industry giving their condolences everywhere.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Damn, so sad.

Thanks for the laughs and good times.

 

[Scrabble]

A best of Ryan Davis video is all of the content he has ever been in. Ever. That man never failed to deliver.

No doubt this would be included

Just an absolute tragedy. Nothing more to say. Absolutely taken aback.

 

[natkingcoleslaw]

WTF..

Rest in Peace Man. I always like you in the bombcast.

 

[taku]

This is devastating.. My heart goes out to Ryan, his family and to his friends. I can't even begin to count the times you made me laugh..

 

[Bumhead]

Absolutely heartbreaking.

I only recently got into the Bombcast and Ryan was genuinely one of the key reasons I started and carried on. He had such a likable presence on the show.

RIP Ryan.

 

[charlagame]

Very sad news. My thoughts are with his friends and family. I really enjoyed his work and personality throughout the years.
