Another great moment with Ryan.

Ryan and Vinny were such a dynamic duo.

 

[TricksterLoki]

The combo of his dad's tweets and his wife's...

Man.

What is his wife tweeting? I cant find that.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Listening to last week's Tested podcast and they start talking about Ryan's wedding. Fuck.

 

[zroid]

I think it's finally starting to really sink in for me. Ugh.

 

[FStop7]

I was going to load up a game or something but the first thing I saw was my copy of The Last of Us. I don't think I'm going to play that for a while, if ever. Like Jeff said there's already enough darkness.

 

[thepotatoman]

I hope to see a Trackmania Valley quick look as soon as Jeff feels ready for it. Those are always fun and there's been enough time for user maps to get released for it to make it more interesting than the stadium quicklook. Ryan would have made the best partner, but maybe Drew will make a decent partner given his interest in sick tracks that the others didn't show during the TNT about it.

I've been chilling in my little Animal Crossing town for the day. It makes me calm.

 

[TricksterLoki]

I don't even know if I can play anything right now. My normal routine is to listen to a Bombcast while I play some Rouge Legacy. I just cant bring myself to load it up.

Its so sad that Jeff said that, only a couple of days before he passed away. I think its safe to say, Jeff will never play TLoU now.

Everything about this is just so tragic: Being wed 5 days before, how happy he looked with his wedding ring with Vinny, he excitement about wanting to share his wedding stories on the bombcast...etc...etc

Its all so heartwrenching

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

I feel stupid about how sad I am about this. I never knew the guy! But man, it felt like I did... I've listened to him and Jeff for like, 7 or 8 years now. Every week. I'll miss Ryan Davis so much

 

[Van Owen]

Try to think back in happier times, like when Jeff and Ryan made hotdogs.

Do not play The Last Of Us, it will make it way way worse.

 

[SeroTyler]

After feeling like shit and trying not to cry in front of my friends on the way home from a trip, I'm gonna grieve the only way I know how.

So who gets his Steam games?

 

[Yerolo]

So who gets his Steam games?

That very topic has been discussed a few times on bombcasts.

"HAPPY HALLOWEEEEN!"

"... and ryan davis."

"HAPPY HALLOWEEEEN!"

"HEY WAIT UP! YOU LOST ME AT *pant* oh I'm out of breath...ooooh... oooooh, they're gone."

Truly this is my favorite. I have watched that quick look so many times with my husband (who is a giant train fan.) Ryan's Dad posted a photo of young ryan on twitter in front of a train and I just lost it... RIP Ryan. It will not be the same without you

Gallows humor aside, weren't they just discussing last bombcast about the uncharted legal territory of digital content you "own" and uncertainty regarding if or how it can be passed on to your children as part of your estate?

Haha, I remember this. Great times.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

 

[Ohwiseone]

It sucks.

I'm still in that "ah he will come back eventually" I don't know if it's hit me yet.

I'll say this, I think everyone knows that where ever he is, he is probably bitching about sonic and how much it sucks. Which bring a. A massive smile to my Face.

 

[mattiewheels]

I almost hope there's no podcast tomorrow for selfish reasons, aka not wanting to bawl like a baby.

Agreed. But in a strange way I kind of want one.

 

[LiK]

So on another forum, someone who didnt know him or Giant Bomb said "Can someone link or post his best work so that I can give a fuck?"

So I told him to Fuck off and reported him to the admins. I will probably get banned myself for abusing him, but I don't care

Cant believe someone could say that, I dont care if he doesnt know who he is

/Anger

that's ok, sometimes trolls can be real dicks

 

[BlazinAm]

Where is this from, GDC stream or something? Is that Phil Fish?

Also those photos of Ryan's childhood are hitting me hard.

[Proposed Law]

Anybody wanna help me with a Ryan for my avatar?

 

[Brinbe]

Thanks for posting up that twitch archive, gonna enjoy these five hours of summerjams and great Ryan moments. =')

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

Agreed. But in a strange way I kind of want one.

I do to. I want information on how he died. I agree that openly speculating on the cause of death is bad. Thats how rumors start, and bad, not true, rumors can ruin a reputation. But, yeah, I want information. I also want to hear everyone's take on it. Of course they all feel bad and have sent out tweets. But I wanna hear them tell it in a longer, more personal, format

 

[justjim89]

On Ryan's last Bombcast they talked about him dying from an arcade cabinet and having to say goodbye... fuck man. I can't deal with this shit.

You're absolutely not gonna get cause of death by listening to the podcast. They'll just try to keep focused on their great memories. I feel bad for them all, but Jeff must be heartbroken. They were brothers pretty much, I think that's why hearing him deal with it would be ultra sad for me.

 

[Con_Smith]

I hope they cut a best of video or montage for Ryan and really bring the cheesy tv feel. This week is gonna be hard though even if there is no bombcast as many of the other ones I listen to have been touched by Ryan in some way.

 

[shadyspace]

Yup. Screw irony.

 

[sonikokaruto]

God this is so sad, I feel really bad.

If I had to guess, I would assume that if we're ever to learn how Ryan passed, Jeff would be the one to talk about it. He tweeted that eventually he's going to do a write-up about Ryan, I would assume that would be a good avenue to discuss the more specific details as opposed to a podcast.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Awww.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Yeah it is Phil Fish and it is from GDC

Do it.

The show will go on.

At the end of Ryan's eulogy

'Addendum; God of War: Ascension. 2/5 stars. IM OUT BITCHES'​

[Cannon Goose]

Watching the Harmonix stream with all the pictures and gifs of Ryan. I don't think I've ever laughed and teared up at the same time.

I'll really miss him, he was always a joy to watch and listen to for the years I've kept up with him and the rest of the Gamespot/Giant Bomb crew.

RIP Ryan Davis.

 

[Typographenia]

I hope they cut a best of video or montage for Ryan and really bring the cheesy tv feel.

I was thinking about whether or not I would try to make one when I got home from work, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that amount of video and photos on GB/twitter/wherever wasn't really enough to truly celebrate the life of someone that meant enough to so many people that he made major news headlines and became a trending topic on twitter worldwide.

That's not to say I think it shouldn't be done, but I felt I didn't need to throw my hat into the ring because Ryan's impact is already so clearly and definitely evident that anything I would be capable of doing has already been watched, laughed at, or cried over so many times in the short span of his passing that it didn't feel necessary for me to do it.

 

[Skogen]

I was looking forward to meeting Ryan at CAX this weekend, but now all I can do is cry whenever I hear his laugh.

 

[Alo81]

This tweet put a big dumb smile on my face.

 

[FStop7]

Now we're all going to jail.

Ryan's revenge is complete.

 

[drizzle]

I was looking forward to meeting Ryan at CAX this weekend, but now all I can do is cry whenever I hear his laugh.

And CAX is going to be this next weekend?

Bummer.... He loved that...

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

To truly remember him we must all go out and buy a cake, and well you know.

<3

Wow I just realized I should probably stop following Ryan on twitter right?

It feels wrong to. As if I shouldn't do it.

Snitch on someone. For Ryan.

I feel like his wife should take over his twitter, and just keep posting ala Chaz Ebert.
