I know him and the whole office were totally re-energized after e3 and getting to really see the next gen stuff.

The news of his passing has totally killed my excitement for gaming for the time being. I'm sure it will come back, but I just can't find it in myself to care about general gaming news at the moment.

Really shows how much of my enjoyment of gaming in recent years has come from hearing dudes like Ryan talk about it, especially as more and more of my friends in real life lose their interest in gaming.

The thread title change

I'll miss hearing those control sticks being shoved around loudly during a Quick Look

 

[Groof]

Best title change ever.

Posted In the other thread but there is probably too much traffic there. Could someone please post that pic of Johnny v and Ryan at Ryan's wedding? I want to show a friend and can't find it. Thanks in advance!

I was playing borderlands 2 when I read the news but have lost all interest in it.

At some point over the past 5 years my enjoyment of games became tied to my enjoyment of Giant Bomb. GB losing a big piece of its figurative heart and soul really diminishes my enthusiasm for video games, which had already faded a bit for various reasons. If not for GB I probably would have completely lost interest a few years ago.

That line best puts into words this strange feeling. A great guy, whom I've never met but listened to since The Hotspot, died. But so did a part of my favourite hobby.

Great thread title change.

Thank you, Ryan Davis.

 

[Zaph]

Jesus, this Harmonix stream. Drake doing a great job, perfect music choice by Pope.

 

[Silphonica]

Don't follow GiantBomb, so didn't know much of him, but it is always sad when a life is lost.

RIP dude.

 

[SlowRevolution]

drake's doing a great job with this slideshow

 

[popo]

These personal tributes from his friends on twitter are the worst. Really making me dwell on personal losses

 

[wenis]

the harmonix stream is great.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

From the chat:

Amboyes: Ryan is the reason we signed SuperGiant Games & Transistor. True story.

! :O amazing

 

[drizzle]

forever Koffing

 

[reggie]

Am I going to be able to watch this Harmonix thing after its finished?

 

[Lombax]

Am I going to be able to watch this Harmonix thing after its finished?

I would assume so, it will be saved on the twitch channel.

 

[Zaph]

Really appreciate Harmonix doing this stream. Needed something like this but it's too soon for GB to do a tribute.

 

[tamaster92]

! :O amazing

I think that shows how much people will miss him most. From us the fans, to small devs and close friends like supergiant, to higher ups and industry members like Adam.

 

[def sim]

Of course they have a Mase song playing during this hotdog video thing.

I don't think harmonix will use it, but this is the best Ryan Davis GIF:

[SmithnCo]

This thanksryan stream is so good.

 

[drizzle]

yeah nightmare fuel like I need that tonight

Hey, at least you know how he'll haunt everybody for the rest of their lives!

 

[Cipher]

Went to Giantbomb hoping to see an ILM with Ryan back from his wedding/honeymoon and scroll down to see Rorie's article about his death my blood went cold. Fuck.

 

[alr1ght]

Surprised Drake is able to go through this so smoothly. It's a great stream thus far.

 

[def sim]

Dark lord Ryan Davis is creep city.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I always got the sense that he loved meeting up with the community more than anyone else. He really seemed to get the most excited for the PAX podcasts.

 

[Madness]

It's too sad. He was a great guy, rest in peace Ryan.

 

[lazybones18]

just saw it posted in chat. holy crap

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Catching up on cast right now. Fuck it's hard.

 

[JABEE]

Drake

 

[drizzle]

just saw it posted in chat. holy crap

I just posted it twice, and somebody posted a picture of it that's hosted on Giantbomb.

I love it.

 

[Mister Negative]

oh god, drake making me choke up. "If you feel like you didn't know him, you did."

 

[Volotaire]

Brilliant stream

 

[MormaPope]

Is the giantbomb site down for anyone else?

EDIT: Its back.

 

[Odrion]

This is the best tribute. :]

 

[jgminto]

The Harmonix stream was fantastic.

 

[Felix Lighter]

That was a really touching tribute with just the right tone.
