RIP Ryan Davis. GiantBomb will not be the same without him.

I don't really like the sound of that , but RIP anyway. Way too young and he was very funny in the Quick Looks. I'll miss that.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
My guess is that he died in his sleepMakes sense. Hope it was painless

"Vultures"? Come on. It's only natural to care about why someone you really liked is suddenly gone forever.
I think people are just really confused/perplexed/bewildered because he was 34 years old. Calling people asking about the cause of death vultures is an extreme mischaracterization. And pretty despicable in and of itself (in my opinion).
Ryan you will be missed.

Well this was pretty shitty news to come back to from work. RIP
It's not disrespectful on a public forum to wonder how someone you love and adore died. I'm curious because I pray it wasn't even slightly painful and because it was so sudden/unexpected.
Just couldn't believe it. I first read the headline on Kotaku and expected it to be part of some joke, even though deep down I knew that would be a real shitty joke for anyone to pull. Rushed over to check Giantbomb and saw the terrible news confirmed.
Like many here, I am shocked. I know it's been said before, but listening to the Bombcast often felt like hanging out with a group of friends, which is what makes this hurt. I fear part of it still hasn't sunk it for me yet. The fact he won't be hosting the Bombcast anymore, I'll never get to his thoughts on Saints Row IV, GTA V, the new consoles. It's just tough to take in the finality of it all.
All I can say is I truly wish his family and friends the best. Ryan was one of the good ones and judging by the responses around the Internet, he will certainly be missed by many. RIP Ryan Davis.

Nothing wrong with mentioning it. If anything it shows that he/she cares.
Bombcast just wont be the same without him.
I wonder if they will skip this week because of this.
I hope they take whatever time they need. If what they feel the need to do is keep going, than they should do it. If they need to take a week or even more off, than that's the way I feel it needs to be.
That being said, if they do a goodbye, retrospective episode, I don't think I'll be able to listen. I'd be an emotional wreck. Man, I cannot imagine what the GB guys are feeling. I hope everyone the best of luck. ;(

He went from my least favorite GB'er to favorite over the course of 4 years... Very sad news. RIP

Ryan seemed very proud that they have never missed a week, but they probably should take some time.Bombcast just wont be the same without him.

No, check the premium download dates. This was uploaded before Ryan died.
if you tell a friend that someone close has died unexpectedly, the first thing they do is say they're sorry.
the second thing they'll do is ask what happened.

I lost my best friend three years ago... I can't say it gets better, it just gets different. He was a HUGE Metal Gear fan. I would be lying if I didn't say I still get a little choked up every time I see something from the series. Especially this E3 with the MGSV reveal, Thinking about how pumped he would of been for the game. I'm sure the giant bomb guys will constantly be dealing with things like that. I heard he was a big Saint's Row fan. It's eerie but also kind of nice, certain things seem a little more special.
Again, my heart goes out to all his family and friends.

That's not fair. This is shocking for the sudden nature of it, he was only 34. It's perfectly natural to question why he has died so young.

SHIT, he was probably one of my favourite gaming journalists, really funny guy. He will be missed for sure
You cant blame people for wanting to know how a 34 year old man suddenly drops dead.
Its sad and scary that something like this can happen all of the sudden. I want to know as well (even if yes, its not really my business)
Jeff does (replied to me during Doritosgate), Brad does (stopped posting here since he finds it too much "Sony slanted" or whatever the reason was), I think Patrick does(?).

I am going miss Ryan Davis. I've followed him and Jeff forever. Two of my favorite reviewers, podcasters. Video game personalities.

Terrible loss. He was so great at bringing the giant bomb community together and was such a talented broadcaster. It won't ever be the same.
Makes sense. Hope it was painless
Dutch Slayer made it sound way more ominous than what Jeff actually meant. The tweet he's referring to was just Jeff saying he would open up more about Ryan's passing at a later date - not necessarily anything to do with the cause of death.

I know Brad and Jeff do, dunno how much they come here but I'm sure they've seen the thread
If they don't have accounts, I'm sure they read GAF on occasion. They've mentioned it a few times.
I also know I've seen Brad (I think) post on here before. GAF is one of the biggest game communities on the web, I'm sure they'll see all the amazing well wishes and RIPs they're getting here eventually.
Oh geez, this sounds like he may not even be talking about revealing how he died. What a slant.
Brad, Jeff, Vinny and Patrick do.
I can't believe how much this news is affecting me. I've never met the guy, and the only interaction I had was a twitter exchange or two over the years, but it really feels like an actual friend has died.
I guess it's a tribute both to the man himself and the success of Giant Bomb as a site where the guys really put themselves out there as human beings rather than simple conduits for someone else's content.
He'll be missed. I've never changed my avatar on here for any of the other memes that have run through this place, but I can't help but change it today.

I was playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown earlier today (before I heard the news) and was reminded of the awesome Quick Look that Ryan and Jeff did for the game. The video was not only hilarious but taught me to not try and stun those disc things. Without that video I would've made a horrible mistake and have a mission end in a massacre. I can't believe he's gone. Rest in Peace, Ryan.
