So long, Ryan, and thanks for the laughs, entertainment, and good times.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

so apparently front page of New york times online

Looks like it was on their rolling AP / Reuters news feed. Still, pretty significant that Reuters picked it up.

 

[RocketSurgeryTV]

As far as I know, this is the final Quick Look featuring Ryan Davis. And it was a pretty good one.

RIP big guy.

It was pretty good. It's very fitting that it was with Jeff, as well.

 

[AutumnAve]

It still isn't really real to me yet. It probably won't be until I hear Jeff speak on this. RIP Ryan. Goddamn. You were taken way too soon.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

It's a testament to the dude that the vast majority of the folks feeling affected by this actually ever met him in any real capacity, and yet that feeling of connectedness, that sense of familiarity and knowing is still so real. I've certainly never felt anything like that towards any TV, Internet, etc personality until now. Just a god damned shame. Rest in peace

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Could you do one for me please? Sorry for the bother!

 

[watership]

Going right back to the beginning and listening to his podcasts from the start. Even back in 2008 he was great at this podcast stuff

Does that include the Arrowpointingdown stuff he did while waiting to announce Giantbomb? Those were brilliant also.

 

[subtleglitch]

This is really sad news, and I'm finding it hard to process. Just re-watching vids with Ryan in it...and thinking, "is he really gone?" Ugh.

I'm gonna miss him, he really was a great guy and a loveable personality for all gamers to enjoy.

RIP Ryan.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

I don't mean to nitpick, but shouldn't it be "Hey everybody" rather than Hello?

Actually I think it's "Hey everyone, it's Tuesday!"

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

He lived more in 34 years than most will live their whole lives. RIP to you. I pretty much subscribed to GB to watch Ryan play Kinect games.

Horse meet rider, rider meet horse. :'(

 

[atomico]

The news hit me like a bag of bricks, plus I couldn't really explain to my co-workers why I did a double take at the monitor and why suddenly my face was white as a sheet.

RIP duder. Gonna miss you.

 

[Erekiddo]

Actually I think it's "Hey everyone, it's Tuesday!"

You caught my stealth edit.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Christ, I just woke up and this is how my day started.

RIP Ryan Davis. I'll miss you for all the fun and happiness you brought to my life. At least you seem to be in your happiest time in the last few days of your life.

 

[LunaticHigh]

Thanks!

 

[mephixto]

Thank you Ryan, I can't believe how quick the time pass.

Gonna miss you.

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Actually I think it's "Hey everyone, it's Tuesday!"

This, or just have it simply be "It's Tuesday!"

At the very least, add the much needed comma after the hello, as someone else already said.

 

[LifEndz]

I don't even know what to say. WTF happened? Heart attack?

 

[Ezra2680]

I think he would have found it funny that this was one of his last tweets

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Ugh... this day... this fucking day...

Rest in Peace, Ryan, you will be missed.

 

[def sim]

The universe can go fuck itself!

 

[NZNova]

The news hit me like a bag of bricks, plus I couldn't really explain to my co-workers why I did a double take at the monitor and why suddenly my face was white as a sheet.

This was exactly me. I don't think I've ever been hit so hard by the death of someone I've never met face-to-face before. It's so horrible and still so surreal.

 

[RocketSurgeryTV]

Thank you Ryan, I can't belive how quick the time pass.

Gonna miss you.

http://www.gamespot.com/shows/button-mashing/?event=20040320buttonmashing

Thank you for posting this.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Damn them feels on that tweet =(

 

[Striek]

Damn, RIP Ryan.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

It's going to be a very sad podcast next time they pop up. Don't know if I can tune-in. This is so fucking surreal, not sure how to approach it. The recently married bit is just devastating.

 

[Vire]

[Havok]

Since folks have been posting their favorite Ryan videos, I thought I might do the same:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN1SnvHSQLg&t=5m27s (5:27 in if the URL doesn't track to that automatically for you)

Never before have I heard someone laugh as uproariously as that. We'll miss you, duder.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

ugh. G'damn world.

 

[Interframe]

This feels so surreal, I've been following the adventures of Jeff and Ryan since Jeff got fired from GameSpot and the two started giantbomb together. I still remember the little blog they had and the "How to build a bomb" videos. Feels so weird knowing that he won't be a part of it anymore, or really anything, anymore.


I feel incredibly sorry for Jeff, espically knowing him and Ryan would carpool with each other and live stream their car rides together, and how lonely Jeff will now probably feel without someone like Ryan to do that stuff with him . Ryan seemed like Jeff's long life best friend and vice versa. Pretty sad to know they will be separated forever now

[Kacho]

That's very awesome.

 

[blackflag]

I think he would have found it funny that this was one of his last tweets

Damn...dunno what else to say.

Hahaha. What a gem.

Definitely going to be watch a bunch of old quick looks tonight. Giantbomb.com has put a few classics on the frontpage.

 

[soxinthebox]

Yeah the first one on their rss list is the "Arrow Pointing Down Podcast Beta". Sounds like it could've been recorded yesterday

Spoiler

if they used laptops mics and were talking about old news

. Ryan and Jeff have the best chemistry

 

[Cat Party]

I bought Fruit Ninja Kinect 100% because of this gif.

Totally worth it.

I think that was the first live thing I watched after I bought my membership. I was falling on the floor laughing.

 

[Ban Puncher]

I'll miss that breast milk drinking, cake squatting, NARC-ing, time trotting son of a gun.


Thanks for all the good times, duder.

For a while, but not forever.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Just finished my tribute. Had to get my New Yorker cartoon on for Ryan.

 

[~Kinggi~]

The giantbomb crew are exceptionally in touch with their communities and so this stings extra hard for a lot of people. I felt like i knew the guy.

great job

 

[jyoung188]

Sorry for asking again but this thread has been very active. Can someone put the ribbon on my avatar please? Thanks in advance.

 

[BJK]

I can do nothing but refresh the Ryan threads on here reading all the kind words. I havent done any work much at all, cannot concentrate.

Its weird feeling this for someone I have never met, but Giant Bomb make you feel like their family, and as such, a family member has died. In all of us.

These feels; I concur.

Glad to see that the Twitter outpouring has made its way to the Davis family.

 

[def sim]

I love it.

 

[Poohblaster]

Whoever made the Ryan Davis / Halo 2 avatar, thanks. I've never had a avatar on gaf before, seemed like a good time to start. Damn, I'm going to miss you Ryan.

Yea, that was legendary lol.
