It's been hours, and I feel more about this loss than the loss of one of my oldest (real life) friends........
I need to get off of the internet for a few more hours, or days.

My condolences to the family and friends of Ryan, especially his wife. While the internet can sometimes be an ugly place I'm glad in this case it is showing him the love he truly deserves. Thank you for all the great times.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
You are all very much welcome to all of those who replied back.
Turning in for the night, but seems like there is more than enough help from the community to keep the ribbon tagging going.

man, this got me pretty bad. I should get back to work and get my mind off this. RIP Ryan.
Man. That probably took a lot out of Vinny.
I don't know if people noticed, but Giant Bomb's front page has been updated with Ryan Davis related featured articles and videos.

Very sad day.
So young, and to die almost immediately after getting married is surely tragic to the wife.
He would have made a great Dad.
R.I.P. fellow gamer and nice guy.

You know ive only recently (past 3-4 months) rediscovered Kessler....and he is indeed in the same vain as the guys from Giantbomb and seems to have the same passion for vidoe games as Ryan does/did.......i think he is too big of a character to ever join GB though....not that would ever happen or be a good idea in the slightest though

I would like to request a ribbon on my avatar as well if that's ok.
There are many I can call my fave.
..Gah.
Him saying "Best original music!" has been bouncing round my head for the last hour. One of the funniest throwaway gags they've done.

i could use a ribbon. pls
Thanks dude.
Was it Ryan who was joking about dying under a arcade machine last week?
Damn, I don't really go to GB at all and don't even know who this is. Sad to hear someone die so young though, seems like he was an awesome dude from what everyone is saying and REALLY sad to hear it happened so soon after commiting his life to someone in marriage. I feel terrible for him and his bride.

"Hey everybody it's Tueeeessdaaayyy!"
It didn't matter what kind of week I was having, waking up and getting ready for work on Wednesday for my shitty job, I knew that I'd put on my headphones at my desk and listen to Ryan and co bullshit about their lives, and maybe a few videogames, for a few hours. I remember how I'd always try not to crack up when Ryan started chuckling at something he, or someone else had said.
It's feels so strange to have this hit me so hard. I never knew the man, but as a fly on the wall in all the bombcasts over the last three years, I felt like, even in some small way, maybe I did know him, a little.
I remember going to see the GB panel at PAX East, waiting in a long ass line to get to the panel, and once I got in, squinting at the panel table from the back of the room. That was as close as I'll ever get to meeting Ryan. My wife reminded me that we should get back to the hotel soon, as we were a ways away from the convention center, and so we left as the crew was taking questions.
I never made it in the industry, or in journalism, or anything else for that matter. But somehow, listening to that intro every week convinced me that everything would be alright.
He will be missed.

I have to say I'm extremely impressed with everyone's ability to keep this quiet for nearly a week. Rorie confirmed he died on July 3, but since he was posting on Twitter so much that day, it likely didn't happen until late at night. The crew likely found out about it on July 4.
For them to keep as quiet as they did about it speaks volumes about their solidarity.

RIP Ryan. Sorry I didn't know you but you seemed like a nice guy. My condolences to his family.

A couple days ago I was listening to last weeks episode with Ryan away on his honeymoon and I had the thought that love him or hate him, the bombcast is not the same without his guidance, cheerful voice, and impeccable hosting skills.
I know GB will continue. I imagine he wouldn't want it any other way, but it will not be easy.
Strength, fellows. Strength.
