So many good times. RIP.

I died laughing when that happened. So funny.

 

[Into]

It is odd to me his death happened on the 3rd and yet everyone acted business as usual up until today. Why exactly did nobody know?

Good question, maybe his closest friends, family and his wife just needed time before it was made public, since he was a public figure

 

[MutantCyborg]

Has the cause of death been announced? sorry if that's too blunt. Couldn't figure a way to phrase it otherwise.

What did he die from?

Just saw this thread, awful news and completely unexpected.



Wasn't he using some sort of machine to make sure he was breathing while sleeping. I remember him talking a out it on the podcast a while back sayin it would wake him up if he stopped. Considering this news broke in the morning I wouldn't be surprised if he died in his sleep from the condition he had.

While its none of my business, I think this is what happened. Ryan's wife's tweet had me heartbroken when I read it.

 

[BobTheFork]

I need to leave work soon. I won't be able to won't it in much longer with this thread.

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

I'll take a ribbon too. I met Ryan once and he was an amazing gentleman.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Could someone please add a ribbon for my avatar?

 

[Kyari]

Harmonix have made me feel so much better.

 

[-McNutty-]

I've been in shock since I came back from work and saw the news.

I feel silly for being so upset as I never met Ryan but I've been listening to the Bombcast/Arrow Pointing Down/Hotspot for years and I can't believe that this amazing person is no longer with us.

I'm just a year younger than Ryan and nobody I know in real life wants to talk to me about the dumb video games I love a bit too much. I know it's really, really stupid but I feel like I've lost a friend.

All my best wishes to Ryan's friends and family - he will be missed.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Holy fuck...

I don't even know what to say

 

[CambriaRising]

Quoted for the new page:

If anyone wants to listen to old Bombcasts/Hotspots with Ryan on them, you can get "Best Ofs" for each year from ThisYear Podcasts if you don't want to redownload them all.

They can be found here: http://www.thisyearcollection.org/p/archive.html

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Oh wow. Such shocking and sad news.

 

[Alienous]

Usually that's the case. Death isn't instantaneous. Family and friends get to know first, and release the information once they're ready and more comfortable.

God damn, taken way too soon.

 

[bhlaab]

alright, sorry. just being silly. maybe too much

 

[braves01]

Damn, RIP Ryan.

This.

That is fairly obvious its "normal" for people to hold that back a little while when its more public

 

[taoofjord]

I'm still just devastated by this. Their podcasts, of which I've listened to every one for the past 3 1/2 years, have been my secret weapon for battling boredom and insanity during my massive commutes to and from work.

For not actually knowing Ryan, he feels like far more than a stranger. My thoughts go out to his family, loved ones and the rest of the Giant Bomb crew. I can't imagine how much harder this is for them.

 

[Daylight]

I'll take a ribbon too. I met Ryan once and he was an amazing gentleman.

 

[BolognaSoup]

So many good times. RIP.

Is this video available on the site?

 

[njean777]

This stream makes me want to get an Xbox one just to support harmonix since they did this.

 

[tm24]

So many good times. RIP.

Where is this from? Ive been meaning to watch in in video form instead of gif form

 

[Digital-Hero]

I do not visit Giant Bomb but I hate seeing other gamers go. My condolences to his family.

From semi-recent You Don't Know Jack TNT at the end.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I can't even imagine how long it'll take for GB to get up & running again.

 

[LightofRohan]

Is there a donation place set-up for his wife? I'd like to try and help make this tragedy a tad easier to deal with you know? And I'm going to pay for giantbomb now.

 

[Raptomex]

Fuck. Too goddamn young. RIP. Did they mentioned what he died from?

 

[kinggroin]

Turns out the cops took him down because they thought he was a Blood. RIP. Really sad.

....what the Fuck!?!?

 

[Eterniti]

Fuck. Too goddamn young. RIP. Did they mentioned what he died from?

That information hasn't been made public.

 

[thetrin]

Oh god, all of us in Japan are waking up right now.

This is the worst news to wake up to.

 

[Malfunky]

This is so tragic. And surreal. For the past few days, I've been stuck at home, and I noticed that Jeff wasn't posting anything to Twitter or Tumblr every night like he usually does. So I got this gut feeling that something bad happened to him, felt pretty bummed out.. And it turns out, it was Ryan. He's gone. It's unbelievable. Terrible loss. I love these guys.

Rest in peace, Ryan Davis.

 

[Nitemare1]

I listened to Giantbomb every week.
I'm kind of heart broken right now.
I feel like I lost a friend.
I guess I did.

RIP good sir!

Oh man the diamonds in the twitch chat ;(

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Holy shit. Condolences to his family and loved ones. What a damn shame, considering the guy had just gotten married too. I am in shock.

 

[Mashing]

So sad and so soon after becoming married. Terrible for anyone to die at such a young age. RIP and my sympathies to the family he leaves behind.

 

[GazzaScotland]

So many laughs.

Thank you!

 

[Iron_Scimitar]

Jeff lost his best friend

I cant imagine how that would feel. After realizing today, GiantBomb is the ONLY site that I have an emotional connection to.

 

[bobeth]

RIP Ryan..
