Nor is one where preconceived notions and presuppositions govern a person's thoughts and simultaneously inhibit a person's ability to keep them unsaid.

Hearing his voice for hours every week, it does kind of feel this way a little.

The Ryan highlights being posted are helping make this day pass. As unreal as this all feels I just know he wouldn't want the news to go with sadness. I'm just gonna watch some of his Quick Looks and listen to some older Bombcasts and spend the rest of the day with him having a good laugh as best I can.

Such a terrible loss . RIP Ryan. Condolences to his family and friends
. RIP Ryan. Condolences to his family and friendsThis was just gut-wrenching news to have to read. I mean, I've been "sad" over celebrity deaths before. But nothing compares to what I'm feeling now.
Guess I just never realized until now how emotionally connected you can become to someone being merely a listener/viewer on the other end.
RIP Ryan :'(

Work has litterally stopped for me as i read this news.
At first, i thought crying would be wrong. As much as i would have loved to... Ive never met the man...
However, even though ive never met him personally, there is a connection made between someone with such a prominent role and their fans/followers.
Ive been shedding more than a few tears over this... I wish it was a dream i could wake up from.
So dont feel bad for shedding tears for a man who brought you more laughs than you can count. A man who was the energy behind Giantbomb.
Shed a tear for a man who saved gaming journalism.
We will miss you ryan.

RIP
He was so young, and just married. His wife must be destroyed.

Can a bad thing be said about Ryan Davis? Does anyone in the world not like him? His laugh was infectious. His wit un-matched. One of the worst Mondays I have had. I hope he's doing game coverage for heaven now.
I've been doing the same thing. The laughs have been suppressing the tears

god that's just so fucking sad.
the light that burns twice as bright...
you will really be missed dude. felt like a friend, even though we'd never really met. I feel good that my last fleeting interaction with him (as he rode an escalator at PAX East) was to yell what a great job he did keeping a panel alive and funny.
the game community is lesser without him.

That is SO sad.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends. The guys at Giant Bomb must be all kinds of messed up at the moment.
A terrible shame.

As much as it hurts, it was a legitimate answer to the question "How can a 34 year old just randomly die?" that was posed.

So anything besides "RIP Ryan" Is disrespectful? I've listened to the Giant Bombcast for over a year and I'm very sad about his death. I've had 3 close family members of mine die in the past 8 years. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, I'm sorry if I upset you.
If anyone could make a RIP avatar, I'd switch to it. I still haven't installed photoshop on this new computer, so I can't do it myself.
Just thinking about his wife... So many years stolen.

Just ignore them. He/She's just trying to troll everyone in the thread.

From Alex:
"For everyone asking if this is a joke, don't worry, I asked the same thing when I got the news. It's terribly, horribly real."

It is most likely true, but I guess we have to pretend he was the example of perfect heath out of respect.
