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.

Not famous enough for instant news updates, but famous enough for his family and friends to want a few days of personal grief before announcing it publicly and being showered with questions.

I'd like to see this but work has vine blocked. Is there another way to see this?

Here is the vine video for people that can't see it.

It is to the tune of "Ice Ice Baby" in the background.

I don't understand if he passed on the 3rd, why are we hearing about it now? Aren't celebrities usually the day of? Especially amazing incredible ones like Ryan
 
Wow, I'm shocked.

I can't imagine how it is for his wife and family. And the GB cast... wow, they had such chemistry.

R.I.P. Ryan.
 
Man this is awful. My condolences. I was just listening to an old podcast a few minutes ago (I'm behind) and now everything feels so morbid :(

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.

Yeah, you're in denial. Nobody in the professional world would joke about this.

I thought having a "Fuck Ryan Davis" shirt would be pointless and dumb (nowhere to wear it) before he died. Now it seems like there's really nowhere to wear such a shirt.
 
I dont really know what to write, I can only offer my condolences.

RIP Rayn Davis :(

Likely to allow time for family and friends to be notified and to be able to control the release of information.
 
Fuck, dudes, I'm at work and have a horrible shitty black-hole sinking feeling in my stomach, or maybe my heart.

I'm going to drink a beer on my fire escape tonite with some bombcast on blast because life is fucking short.

Dude will be missed and R.I.P., brotha.
 
Hope it had nothing to do with lortab based on that deleted tweet. I've seen addictions kill people at a very young age. I hope not. No addiction is worth it and that includes gaming.

Rest in peace.

My age: always hits ya.
 
Utterly shocked by this. I've watched him in dumb internet videos since I was a kid, on a shitty old dial up connection. Utterly devastated. It's astounding how much impact a person I've never met can have on my life, but there it is. Going to miss that laugh.

He wasn't well known enough to have paparazzi following him or anything like that so if the family decided to keep it secret to deal with it privately for a time that would certainly be possible.
 
This is just devastating news. Ryan was one of the best in the business and everything that was right with the video games industry. I can't ever remember a video where he wasn't smiling or laughing. Giant Bomb is so interactive with their fans that it feels like I lost a friend. RIP Ryan. You'll be missed by all

Probably because of the holiday and most likely to give friends and family time to grieve without the internet.

I really can't express the immeasurable amount of joy Ryan brought to my life simply by being the best host of the best produced gaming podcast. As someone who will turn 34 this year with few IRL friends who actually still play videogames, the Bombcast is like a group of friends to me even though I've never met any of them. Losing Ryan feels like losing one of my best friends. Even after my worst days, I can still count on the Bombcast brightening up my life every Tuesday night. Don't even get me started on their E3 coverage, during which I stay awake until the wee hours of the morning watching the live show. Then, of course, there are the GOTY deliberation podcasts. I'm really, really going to miss him. He made my world a better place to live in simply by being a small part of it.

This is the post that tipped me over the edge. Ryan joins Colin McRae as the only 'strangers' I've ever cried for.
 
This is really really sad. the man was so young and just married.

Thoughts go out to all friends and family affected by this situation.


RIP what a good man :(

To listen to a man every week for almost 4 years and realizing you won't hear him again. What a surreal feeling.

RIP Ryan.

That's the hardest part for me. Been listening since arrow pointing down. I just cannot and do not want to believe this.
