God, Vinny's and Drew's twitter posts hit me so hard. I've only been listening to Giant Bomb for little over a year but they quickly become the best way to pass some time. Knowing I won't ever hear Ryan say "HEYYY EVERYONE IT'S TUESSSSDDAY" again leaves me feeling so empty.
My prayers and condolences go out to his family, his new wife, and the Giant Bomb staff.

RIP Ryan. Like many others, I've never felt such profound loss about someone I've never met before. Thoughts go out to his family and friends and the GB crew.

Terrible news. A truly unique and fantastic guy.

Edit: Beaten.
Thanks to all three of you.
There are very few people in the industry that I feel are totally genuine. Ryan was such a great man and a positive ambassador for the industry as a whole. No matter what way you look at it, this just sucks.

RIP.
Followed him since the Gamespot days and always enjoyed his input into videos and podcasts. He had a great talent for hosting. I know it shouldn't make it worse - a death is a death and is always bad - but it being so unexpected and so young has hit me harder than a lot of other famous deaths.

Honestly, I've never followed giantbomb, and only know of the personalities through friends... but it's really tragic, and I empathize. Only a couple years younger than him, and it's probably a sad day for everyone that knows him.
Here you are.
Thank you everyone. I truly appreciate it. Saved them all, and I'll be switching between them.

Personally, I'd rather hear them talk and laugh about the good times, but I've never really understood the whole moment of silence thing.

RIP Ryan and my condolences to all of his friends and family. This really sucks.
Giant Bomb has always drawn me in because the group as a whole was so entertaining. I dont think the big allure has ever even been about video games for most of us...it was about Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny...the four who started it all.
It's easy to feel impacted by this because of how well they all seemed to get along and have fun functioning as one unit. At the risk of sounding cliche', it was like getting together with friends every Tuesday. Just having to speak in the past tense when referring to them is weirding me out right now, it's hard to fathom we will never get to hear Ryan on a new podcast or quicklook.
I know the GB guys have accounts here and read this site. I feel strange saying this to you all directly as I know I am not privy to your personal lives outside of the website or any of your relationships with Ryan outside of content from the site. I am weary of overstepping my place saying anything here like this, but I am truly sorry for any level of sadness and grief you have gone through due to this.

Can someone ribbon my Avi please. Thanks in advance.

Subete no aware
I wouldn't mind a ribbon as well, if someone could do one up.
I posted this in the Memorial thread but I think it's still relevant here. I don't usually rock an avatar on GAF but in this occasion I'm full on Ryan Davis ribbon.
I don't think I've ever been this affected by the death of a total stranger before. I remember being slightly bewildered when friends were crushed when a singer (like Amy Winehouse etc) they really liked died. How can you feel this bad for someone you never really knew? But now, after hearing about Ryan's passing, I know.
I think the Bombcast gave me, gave us all, a window into Ryan's and the other guys lives. And now that one of them is gone it's really touched me. I will miss him.

Thanks a bunch
hey nobody said that talking and having fun is forbidden.
the moment of silence is just a thing of respect in my book.
after that we can have wiskey and beer and talk our asses of for the sake if that great person.

This is insane, I can't even process this as reality right now. I've been listening and watching Davis for so long I feel like he was a personal friend...

This reply window has been open for a few hours now. No words.
Rest in peace, Ryan. All the best to his wife. Can't even imagine how much her situation completely sucks.
I'll take a ribbon as well if someone is up for it. Then I'll keep it until someone can mention Giant Bomb or Ryan Davis without me then starting blankly into the distance for 10 minutes.
That may take a while.

Outward facing, she's making it sound like she's taking it as best she can.

I really thought the thread title was a marriage joke. I wish it was.

All I could see of the thread title before clicking was "Ryan Davis of Giant Bomb Has..." I was thinking, nah. Can't be. No fucking way.
My sympathies to all at Giant Bomb and to Ryan's family and friends. Rest in peace, Ryan.

"HEY RYAN, WE'RE SUMMONING SATAN!"
"Have fun kids!"
One of the funniest moments of all time.
