Me next, me next!
My loss means nothing, I am just extremely sad thinking about his wife. That is seriously the worst thing I can think of.
Could someone add a ribbon to my avatar?
Honestly teared up over this. Listening to the Bombcast week after week you really feel like you know these guys. Giant Bomb just won't be the same

Wondering if someone could give me a ribbon. I'm mostly a lurker, but I always feel an immense connection to these communities and when something like this happens I just have to come out.
Thank you so much, Ryan. Condolences to the friends, fans and family, but thank you so much for the years of entertainment and community.

A friend of mine made this. I found it fitting - hopefully he'll continue doing what he loved to do, like a boss.
I've been crying for the ten minutes after seeing this. Motherfucker. Why'd you leave so soon.
Thanks my man.
It was from a Persona 4 Endurance Run episode where they finally levelled up enough to get Satan.
Beaten! Good times though.

Awesome thank you EmCee.
Gosh, it's kind of weird that Penny Arcade is the only website that hasn't commented on this. No acknowledgement on twitter either.

Not doing anymore avatars tonight everyone sorry but I'm beat up as FUCK, watching the harmanix stream for a few and then bed.
And when I wake up from this nightmare everything will be alright, right ?

That feeling when you read something, think it's a bad joke, realize that it's not, then wished desperately that it was.
I read this just before leaving for a bike ride with my wife. I'm 35, and Ryan's passing hit me hard; it's all I could think of this afternoon.
RIP, you'll always be the voice of Giantbomb to me.
I'm gonna play Ryan's game of 2012 tonight with some booze, and I'm gonna make sure Col. Ryan "FUCK" Davis kills as many aliens as possible.

Quoting, I'd like a ribbon if someone could do it for me please, I'm a massive butt on photoshop!

Dam that's crazy, hours later and it's still surreal. Watching the news on various game sites.

I saw this thread in the morning but didn't post anything then because I have always avoided sad threads like this
While I don't follow GB, I have seen some QL in the past and Ryan had one of the best personalities in the industry, my thoughts are with the GB crew, his family and other friends. Threads like this makes me proud to be part of this awesome community.
Rest in peace Ryan.

It seems unfathomable that the death of someone you never personally met, could have an emotional impact on you, but here I am just reading the news with tears in my eyes. I think the thing that's hitting me the most is the fact that he was only 34 years old, and unbelievably he was married to his wife for only 5 days... It's almost indescribable what she must be going through right now.

What shocking and sad news. He'll be profoundly missed. My heart breaks for the rest of the Bomb crew, his family and partner.
Many thanks. On my phone now but I will change it when I get home.
Absolutely devastating. I've had a lump in my throat all day and have been fighting back tears on numerous occasions, including in a meeting with a large number of attendees, and I never even met the guy personally. When somebody I don't know personally dies I shrug it off with cold detachment, so there was something very special about Ryan Davis. Giantbomb and the gaming community will never be the same without him. RIP.
I've listened to the bombcast podcast every week for the last 4 or so years. It was always a highlight of my week, knowing that I'd go to work on a Wednesday morning and have 2-3 hours of great entertainment to help me get through a boring day. They NEVER missed a show and Ryan always sounded chipper and upbeat every single time. I don't recall him ever sounding grumpy or like he didn't feel like recording a podcast. I always admired and marveled at how he was able to do that. I guess he lived and loved life fully each day, and in 34 years he did so more than I probably will in my whole life. Ryan Davis, I salute you. You were a remarkable person and truly one of a kind.
I must admit I'm still in denial. I will go to bed tonight hoping that when the sun rises tomorrow everything will have been revealed to be one big prank. But deep down I know that nobody involved would ever take a prank this far. I'll never get to see videos of his silly antics, or hear that trademark laugh, or "hey everyone it's tuesssssday" ever again.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go home, get drunk, play some of Ryan's favorite games in his honor and weep like a blubbering idiot. In any order or all at the same time.

The world is now a poorer place now that you're gone.

I think the time has come for me to finally play Saint's Row III.
I'll be keeping Ryan Davis in mind, doing so. Rest In Peace, my friend.
