I was gonna say the Vine clip had a different bride.
Wow, this is a fantastic photo. Dave had a hell of a location for his ceremony!

One of my favourite Ryan items on GiantBomb was TANG - but he ran out of films, so started WUTANG, then ran out again!

That is STILL fucking hilarious.
God damn this sucks. When I get home from work I think I'm going to watch that Harmonix stream - hopefully it will be therapeutic
had a good few hours rest before I chimed in. Saw this last night when I reached home only after listening to the most recent bombcast on my journey... shocked me and didn't know what to say yesterday.
Now back at work this morning, me and my friends here at Sony all in shock too... and we all send our condolences. RIP, you will be missed.

Damn, that's rough.
He was the same age as me too. RIP dude.

This affected me more than I would have expected - it was such a shock and so difficult to get my head around.
I've followed Ryan since the GameSpot days and Giant Bomb has always been my favourite podcast. Although I love hearing all the other guys too I'm not sure I'm going to be able to keep listening
Such sad, sad news...

They will at some point but give them time. All of them were super close friends. It can be really hard to tak about it for some people. Everyone deals with grief differently.

I could never have imagined that the loss of a person that I've never met and doesn't know me in the slightest could affect me this way. Seeing the news yesterday felt unreal and left me speechless, and having let it sink in a bit more today just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.
Ryan has always been with me for almost half my life, either in the form of a podcast or a video, always in my pocket or computer and ready to entertain. It was far too soon for him to leave, but thinking back about it I realize how much he has accomplished and how many people's love he's won during his years, something not many people can accomplish during a lifetime.
My condolences to his family, friends and my fellow giant bomb-fans, he will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace Ryan
34 is awfully young to die, 31 myself.. It didn't really hit me until just before I went to bed last night.. Listening to some music, reminiscing, realizing just how short life is. We can all speculate on cause of death, but regardless, we lost a good one. Ryan was a very charismatic, and funny guy. He will be missed.

It makes me so sad to think of the stuff that Ryan will never see or do now, even just in gaming terms, never mind the fact that he was just married and had a whole lifetime of starting a family ahead.
He'll not be here to see the next generation, or any generation after that. He won't see technology like the oculus rift come to fruition. Motherfucker will never play HL3 or another Saints Row game.
So much stuff we take for granted, it's so, so shit...

What a wonderful photo!
I just discovered this terrible news while on the bus from London to Ghent. Maybe it's the fact that I'm still mourning my father's death from earlier this year, but I'm again fully devastated and heartbroken.
As for so many, the Bombcast and Ryan's voice have become pillars of support and ever present sources of entertainment for me. I must have listened to Ryan's soothing voice in more than 20 countries and on 3 continents over the years. I can't put into words how much I will miss this. It feels like a part of my inner child has died as well, and I truly fear for the future of Giantbomb and my enthusiasm for podcasts.
Ryan, you beautiful man you, I will miss hearing and seeing you on the interwebs so much! What a terrible shame you had to leave this mortal existence so soon (and just on the brink of the new console generation no less). Please say hi to my dad up there if you see him, he should be one of the kind, helpful and smiling ones as well...
All the strength in the world to Jeff, Vinny, Patrick and the rest of the crew. I'm crying some tears for your sadness too.
Edit: and who would have thought that Ryan himself would drop the biggest Giant megaton Bomb on the gaming community himself? He certainly managed to leave an impact that will echo for years.

R.I.P Ryan. He recently got married
I saw this when the thread went up yesterday. I just took the day to kinda reflect and absorb the terrible news. I have followed Ryan and the other dudes since they were with Gamespot. I have enjoyed them nearly weekly since. He will be missed.
My sympathies to his, wife, family, and friends.

Never heard of him before, never listened to his podcast, but when a young man is so much committed to the community and so devoted to our beloved hobby, one can only feel sad and heartbroken because he was "one of us" in the most active way possible.
I feel very sorry for his friends and dears
RIP

Feels weird, RIP. You will be missed.
This is well beyond heartwrenching.
I've never met the guy, so logically it shouldn't bother me this much. But reading and appreciating his materials, as well hearing his voice along with the other gamespotters and giantbombers over the last 10 or 12 years, however long it is, on a weekly basis made me feel like a part of something. Like listening in on conversations between friends, where I was the silent one around the table.
And a big part of that is now gone. I feel bad. Beyond bad. Heartbroken. By someone who I didn't even knew dying. Yeah. That's the power of the internet, and the warm, likable and glowing personality of Ryan Davis.

Like everyone, I'm shocked and saddened at Ryan's passing. I remember first noticing his distinctive and engaging patter back on GameSpot's podcasts and video shows and I've enjoyed listening to him ever since.

it's Tuuuuuesday and sadly still real.
I was in my school's library when I found out the news. After confirming it was true on GB (I initially couldn't believe it, especially since I just finished listening to a Bombcast from a few weeks back), I immediately started crying.
I don't remember the last time I even cried, let alone for someone I didn't "know".
I've never meet you, but you brought many a laughs and smiles to my soul on days I needed them the most. R.I.P Mr. Davis, you will sorely be missed..

This keeps hitting me in weird ways.
I was watching the Game & Wario Quicklook and Jeff commented on a drawing and said "That looks like something an angel would wear on his way to hot dog heaven." After a quick beat Ryan wistfully said "I wanna go to hot dog heaven."
I hope you're in Hot Dog Heaven Mr. Davis.

This really hurts for no reason for me. I mean, I listened to the Bombcast many times, but I never felt like I knew Ryan, but the last 24 hours have been rough.
If this it was loss is like * 1000 for people you do know, I'm pretty much fucked if anyone in my family dies. Depression + people dying is a horrible mix.

R.I.P Ryan. My power went out last night soon after finding out so I wasn't able to pay my respects here. Gave me the opportunity to do a lot of thinking though and It's going to suck without Ryan at gb.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.

We didn't need a reminder that life is unfair and cruel. As others have said, if his passing is affecting those that didn't actually know him personally in this way, I can only imagine how it is affecting his friends/co-workers and loved ones. I hope they can all support one another.
