Remembering Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013

Thanks Ryan, and thanks to everyone here posting such awesome memories. I'm fairly new to Giant Bomb so a lot of these I haven't seen. Keep it up.

I just wanna say that how can be a stranger to me, somebody I dont know when I know he likes blue steak, he proposed to his wife in disneyland, that he has his own arcade in his house, that he loves xcom, mgs4, civ 5, he loves energy drinks(I hated that intro taste test)... and so many more. I never thought that he was funny, he had his moments but he was the host to the podcast that I listen to on my long drives. Without listening to a podcast made my driving feel like a waste of time. Thanks Ryan for everything... life is so horrible sometimes.
 
id love a Ryan davis ribbon too if someone wouldn't mind. Listened to their podcasts for about 6 years. I always thought to myself when listening "I love ryan's voice and attitude" You could tell him and Jeff were best friends
 
I never followed Giant Bomb but it sounds like this guy was very close to the community here, so first RIP and my condolences for everyone.
 
What the fuck man! no way. Obviously news like this is always shocking but fuck it always leaves you in a weird state of 'unreality'.

Really loved Ryans energy, enthusiasm, and basically everything about his presence on the podcast.

RIP brother.

Thoughts go out to his family and the G-Bomb crew.
 
I left my twitter feed open, and came back to over 1k tweets from industry and fans in response to this. Pretty much everyone you can think off in the gaming industry responded.
 
wow, big shock!
R.I.P. big fella who's voice I've listened to for hours and hours and hours.
wish all the best to his friends and family
 
I can't even imagine how this has hit Jeff Gerstmann. They were so close. They even commuted to work together. Jeff seems to have had a lot of personal turmoil in his life and this just makes things worse. I really hope Jeff makes it through ok.....
 
Read the news last night (at about 11:50pm local) and I was in shock. Can't believe this is true. While I sometimes felt Ryan had an attitude that annoyed me and that he wasn't putting enough content (which was more of a running joke really), I'm sad I can't hear his voice again. In the last Bombcast he really made me laugh - god damn it, why did you have to bring up that the first song that was put on your crowd sourced Wedding playlist on Spotify was Morris Day's Jungle Love? I put the song there and that made me emotionally attached to the episode, if that makes sense to anyone.
 
Just woke up 30 min ago, hopping everything was a nightmare.
But it wasn't :(:(

And like I said before going to bed, I knew it had a Giantbomb related dream with Ryan in it.
Can not remember the details because that is how dreams work but I know I dreamed about it.

FUCCCCCCCCCCCCK JUST FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK :@ :(
 
I just logged into Twitter for the first time in ages, really needed to send my condoleances and write something about Ryan.
That's saying something.
 
Been away for a few days and just seen this. My first thought was that it was some kind of sick joke. I've listened to the GB podcast every week for years and his thoughts and humour have been a regular part of my commute to work. 34 is way too young.

Terrible, terrible, news. RIP.
 
Man this is surreal, i still can't get used to the idea that i'm not gonna be able to see/listen to him on GB anymore.
What the hell.. following videogames won't be the same, that for sure.

E3 for me was mostly following the GB crew.
 
Ryan loved the podcast and almost seemed to champion its existence somewhat. Whether thats true of just an impression I got and projected onto him Im not sure.

But I hope they continue the podcast. Im sure Ryan would want it to continue. Its defines the GiantBomb brand and work they do (IMO anyway) and to see that suddenly disappear would be truly sad.

Sucj a fucked up thing when someone goes who didnt (as far as we knew) have some sort of chronic or life threatening illness. I dont want to speculate as to the cause... if it comes out it comes out. If not then thats none of our business. But when you arent expecting it it hits even harder.

Once again, miss your energy in the gaming industry already dude. Strength to his friends, family and of course his work colleagues.

Fucking, it appeared to be a beautiful ceremony. Ryan bagged himself a beauty too.

My heart goes out to you Mrs Davis, if you happen to read this. So sad. Just when something truly rad happens in your life, boom shit sandwich of the most profound kind.

Still cant believe. :(
