Seriously, guys, this is not cool.

Yeah, they are not exactly wrong technically but speculating about the cause of the man's death is not important. He died. It doesn't matter why.

Watching this made me tear up. Can't believe we'll never get moments like that again.

 

[Cindres]

Fuck. Wow. This is terrible news.

R.I.P, surely will be missed in the gaming community.

 

[Ninja]

People, you guys need to stop caring about how he passed and care more about how he wants to be remembered, for being funny, nice and loved videogames.

I agree, but at the same time people want closure... and that's natural.

Ryan's voice has been such a permanent part of my life for more than 5 years.. words cannot express how brilliant and entertaining he was....

 

[Darklord]

Ryan's wife.

Fuck, this is killing me. :'(

 

[Kerub]

R.I.P.

 

[CriscoDisco]

Thanks for the great memories Ryan.

 

[pushBAK]

I was so looking forward to meeting him at PAX Prime this year. This is extremely upsetting.

You will be truly missed.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Fuck.

 

[cLOUDo]

so young

R.I.P

 

[HotGarbage]

Reality is bullshit. It takes someone special to make it a brighter place. So thanks for that, Ryan.

 

[Twiccan]

You know what is super sad? I can probably count on one hand the people that will actually give a crap when I'm dead...

Not trying to be disrespectful to Ryan at all, but damn...

 

[everyday math]

This isn't news I like reading on my breaks. God damn.
R.I.P :'(

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Ryan's wife.

That is just brutal.

 

[Glix]

I echo the thoughts of all you early thirtysomethings. I'm a '79er as well, and just like a bunch of you, a lot of my friends no longer game, etc...

the Bombcast was a wonderful treat every Tues, I get off work at 8pm EST and would always be gutted if the 'cast wasn't up yet to listen to on my drive home.

Ryan was SO open with himself, that despite not knowing him, I feel like I knew him.

I keep thinking about the recent bombcast where he was talking about how he was finally finished and set with his arcade machines. I don't know why but I keep going back to that. So freaking sad.

 

[Recall]

They set the schedule last week and it's full up.

They can do what ever they wish regardless of schedule.

 

[ghostmind]

Totally gutted by the loss of someone I've never met personally, but nonetheless felt like he was part of my life.


RIP Ryan Davis

[Dusky]

Still can't believe it.

Very sad to hear this, RIP.

 

[SteveWinwood]

It's okay to be sad, but at the end of day remember all the joy Ryan Davis brought into your life. Remember him for that.

 

[Hypno Funk]

Absolutely heartbroken and in shock. I've never felt this way towards the death of someone who I never had the pleasure of meeting before. I guess that goes to show what an amazing personality and person Ryan was.

R.I.P.

 

[GQman2121]

Well this is a shitty thing to come back from lunch to read. Jesus, he was only four years older than me. Such a shame. I can't imagine what his family, including Vinny, Brad and Jeff are going through. He will be missed by many and remembered for his contributions to his chosen profession.

 

[cartridge]

I'm curious to know the brother-in-law's involvement, since he is the one that supposedly found him.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

RIP...

Such a sad thing to wake up to read.

 

[Ferr986]

R.I.P.

I dont follow much of the gaming media so I dont know him very well, but from the few I saw he seemed a cool guy. And 34 is too young to die...

 

[javadots]

This is very sad indeed. RIP.

 

[jg4xchamp]

RIP Duder

 

[.GqueB.]

That favstar tweet made me laugh so hard. I feel terrible.

 

[Raxious]

Rewatching the Freedom stream is so painful, u can see that they're not in the mood and somethings on their mind yet they still pulled it off.

I'm curious though if there's gonna be a Bombcast this week.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

If he died last Wednesday, did they already have the funeral?

 

[LiK]

I feel for the GB crew right now. They're such good buddies. Cannot imagine what they are feeling right now.

 

[naib]

This tweet from his newly wedded wife... man alive, the sadness.

https://twitter.com/EnemyNanner/status/353018521506156544

Send your love folks.

This is actually the 1st thing to wrest a tear out of me.
Damn.

 

[waypoetic]

Evilore already warned not to talk about the cause of death. This is a time to grieve.

The site will not be the same without him. Ryan cannot be replaced.

Did not see that post. Sorry, my bad.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Wow, this is absolutely awful news. Deaths outside of my friends and family don't usually hit me hard, but this is like a punch to the gut. Such a wonderful and funny man. RIP.

 

[Kevitivity]

My thoughts go out to Ryan's family and the GB folks. So very sad. He will be missed.

 

[Capital_Five]

Jesus. This is so out of nowhere, he was so young. Damn. This is just awful news, RIP Ryan.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So these GB guys knew that he was dead for the past few days. Kinda odd seeing normal tweets from them and everything.

RIP Ryan.

 

[EXGN]

Wow, I thought this was a joke headline. Oh man... I never had the honor of meeting him, but after listening to his podcasts for 6+ years, I almost feel like crying. I'm crushed. RIP man, condolences to everyone (especially his new wife).

 

[Fezzan]

RIP Ryan, I always thought he was one of the best on giant bomb.

 

[Tame]

Just seen this. Totally shocked. Makes it even more heartbreaking that he just got married.

my thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues

R.I.P. big yin

Wait, they all knew? this is terrible.

 

[drakesfortune]

Wow RIP. So depressing. I've been listening to the Bombcast since the beginning, and followed him even at GameSpot before then. Really shocking and sad news.

 

[TheJLC]

Rip.

My condolences to the family and friends of Ryan.

 

[octagon69]

Goddammit. Poor guy..... RIP Ryan!

 

[Batigol]

34?!? That is no age at all

Rip

 

[Diablos]

Having a wedding and funeral that close together must be depressing as hell. Imagine seeing all the people you just saw at the wedding a week before at the funeral

I can't even imagine.

I feel so bad for his family and especially his wife. :-(

 

[jWILL253]

Rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers go out to GB and RD's family...

 

[out getting ribs]

Another big guy with an even bigger heart has left us. My thoughts go out to his family and new wife, shit has gotta be tough. R.I.P buddy

 

[Hellsing321]

I'm trying to hold back tears at work right now and I just don't know what to do with myself right now. For the last 5 years Ryan Davis and the rest of the crew have given me more hours of entertainment than anything else I can't think of. Ryan had the most infectious laugh of anyone I've ever heard. There is no way I could hold back laughter myself when ever he started laughing. The thought that I'll never get to hear that laugh again is leaving me with an empty feeling.

Hopefully the unstoppable train that is the Bombcast stops this week to let off the beautiful Ryan Davis, wearing his most camoflague of shorts and polo-est shirt.

Then, next week, they talk about their memories of Ryan "Powerful" Davis
