Not exactly relevant, but I've always had a real appreciation for Jeff's twitter bio

High five man, right there with you.

Wait I just entered this thread, holy fucking shit is this for real, I don't mean to ruin the mood.
Is Ryan dead!? ;( I can't believe this, today has already been so fucking terrible with me getting robbed and now this... I just can't...;(

No joke man.

I'd link this on giantbomb but it seems to be down again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toKWrYWyobM

Great RD Quick Look!

Sorry to hear about you being robbed :/.

I know this isn't helping me but I just can't do anything except center around watching and listening to giantbomb stuff today.

I think most of us are that way. Was tough to concentrate at work.

Ryan may be gone but I can think of two places he will live on. In our hearts....and in the motherfucking can!

 

[spiritfox]

RIP

When I saw this in my news feed, put so bluntly, I literally could not believe it for a good few minutes. The first time I can remember doing a visible double-take and looking at my phone with my jaw hung open for a good thirty seconds. I still find this hard to believe.

I met Ryan at PAX Prime a few years ago, and I couldn't believe how jovial and full of energy and life he was given his physicality. RIP Ryan. You will be missed.

Yeah, when I first saw my twitter feed and people were saying "RIP Ryan davis" accompanied by goofy moments together with him I just thought "Oh man, this is either a really good injoke I gotta catch up on, or a really tasteless one." Then I scrolled down to find someone link to the article on the Giantbomb page.

It's still hard to believe.

That's PURE FUCKING MAGIC.

Ryan calling out those two gamespot dudes on the vita was such an excellent video. He never backed down from an argument and was quick to call people out on their bs. It's tough to find that kind of honesty nowadays

I'll try to find it when I get home. It was a gamespot video from last year I think not a gb vid.

Is it this one? http://www.gamespot.com/video/quoted-for-truth-episode-14-6397419/

 

[Rookje]

I've searched everywhere, but have they really not given the cause of his death? 34 is so young.

For those who have not seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h9rNzcI5g4

Ryan should've been a regular on the show.

 

[Loxley]

Nope, they haven't released it as of yet. Also, speculation on the cause of Ryan's death was made a bannable offense by Evilore when people started getting out of hand in the other thread.

 

[Tazo]

Ryan never wanted to miss a week of podcasting, so I really hope the guys put one up this week.

Even if it's just 2 hours of silence (or shortwave radio noises), that would be better than nothing.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I'm glad the podcast is okay. Nothing will stop the Giant Bombcast!

 

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

Google image searching Ryan Davis was a great idea

 

[hwy_61]

I hope the entire bombcast this week is nothing but Ryan Davis talk. I'm sure they're getting tons of emails about him.

I understand why they would want to, but I also completely understand why they wouldn't.

Damn, I remember being really alarmed by the gifs in this thread. Sad to think he'd be dead less than six months later.

Edit: Sorry, I don't know if we are not suppose to post gifs or stuff like that. I just came in the thread 194 pages late.

 

[Daylight]

I saw this gif earlier today, and it was able to cheer me up. Hope it does the same to those here. Does anyone know what this gif is from?

A 3 hour podcast of number stations and people quietly saying "summerjamz" in a hushed tone.

If there is a Bombcast tomorrow, it would be nice if somehow Patrick could participate in it from his home

Late getting back from the gym... anyone around that can add the ribbon to my avatar?

What a duo. They will never be topped in games media.

Reading the words "Ryan Davis Dead" made me wince.

Same as the Reuters article but still great.

 

[grandjedi6]

QLs will now just be a mix of Vinny/Brad/Jeff/Drew and since someone has to monitor the recording stuff that probably just leaves three of the four.

I don't think Drew monitors it anymore. Instead he works on video stuff while they podcast. I think the CBSi facilities allows them to podcast without a monitor.

 

[Loxley]

Alex, too.

Get Drew on there as well we'll be complete.

Hell, someone go find Dave and drag him in there too.

 

[patjburns89]

What a bummer today has been. Feel for everyone who knew Ryan personally. I'm glad everyone who cared about him got the chance to see him one last time when he got married. The dude no doubt went out a happily married guy, albeit far too soon.

so I missed the whole dave saga, I know he had a kid, but is he gone for good or just for a little bit?

For good. Sounds like he's trying to do a new web thing with a friend.

For good. He may pop up occasionally but only as a guest.

 

[Con_Smith]

No one can replace Ryan in my eyes, but do you guys think they'll bring in someone new or just keep it how it is?

 

[Loxley]

Someone just tweeted this to the GB crew:

Although I'll admit I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at since I don't play EVE. Looks like someone named a planet for him?
