Ya! Great way to make burgers.

I'll admit to have devised an elaborate series of events in my head, where the Bombcast is posted today and we hear that familiar "Hey, everybody it's Tuesday..." and then Ryan tells the hilarious story of how, for a wedding present, he got his family and friends together and asked them to help him fake his death for a day, just to see what would happen.
And we'd all hate him for a while for toying with us like that, but then we'd forgive him in the end because he's Ryan, and everything would be back to the way it was.
I want to live in that world. Come back Ryan, all is forgiven.

I think this was my first time seeing giant bomb:

and it was hilarious. Again, RIP Ryan.

I wouldn't put it that way. In times of tragedy, good people want to help in some way. 8bits tried to help, he tried to contact the GB staff, they responded, and they would rather do their own thing, so that's how it would be. 8bits "jumped the gun" by trying to help raise money for his wife and/or business as a way to help, right after the news broke. I appreciate and respect his efforts regardless of when or how he tried to do it. I am sure Ryans family would as well.
I like it!

Yup, stupid easy way to make patties. Ryan Davis has changed my life one burger at a time.

I'd imagine we'll find out the cause of death at some point when they're good and ready. We'll just have to keep the speculation to a minimum until then, it does nobody any good.

Put an approximate patty on a plate, smash it down with another plate. Keeps all the meaty goodness in patty form without bursting at the edges. Best way to make burgers EVER.
E: Still feeling SUPER weird and bummed about this news. I remember when I used to listen to Screw Attack's podcast when it was still Tom and Craig hosting it. Once Tom left, I felt like it was never the same. With GB, it's going to feel even worse - not because the rest of the guys aren't fantastic and a blast to listen to, but because one of the members of the group is GONE. They'll move on and continue to do great things, but it just sucks so hard knowing that someone you grew so "close" to is, well, no more.

Everytime I read the thread title, I get bummed as hell :/
Yea using that ridge at the bottom would spread the patty to those dimensions and cooking it would do the rest.

No idea if there even will be one - Jeff said yesterday he would talk about it eventually but yesterday wasn't the day so I doubt today will be either somehow.
Wow these are really getting to me...
Brad said yesterday on twitter that they were undecided at that point.

The thread title shocks me just a bit every time I scroll past. I don't think it'll really truly hit me until the next Bombcast goes up.
Probably just Drew for now. My only other guess is Alexis but he's mad busy with the site.

I started doing this and it works great.
You know what? It'll be good to remember Ryan every time I'm about to fire up some burgers on the grill. I never knew the guy personally, but I'd like to think he'd be down for some burgers and cold ones.
Man, this is like losing a good friend in ways I never would have imagined.
Seems like they might do it, though, based on what they've been tweeting. Really, that's how Ryan would want it. He's always said that nothing stops the Bombcast...
I did the exact same Saturday night. Little did I know it was in memory of.

I'm confident there will be. Probably nothing about games but more of a Remembering Ryan Davis. Fun stories, memories and how much they miss him. It could be therapeutic for GB and their fans. Plus they wouldn't miss a podcast, something Ryan was very proud of.
Good call
Oh noes, a penis! Someone think of the children!

Do I have to sign up for Spotify premium to listen to his summerjam playlist? It let me listen to like two songs and then greyed out everything else.
Is there a Grooveshark playlist that mimics the Spotify one?
His tweets kept getting auto-response congrats for being popular from twitter bots as well. If I were Jeff, I'd have ragequit the internet.

I think every podcast should start off for the next week using Ryan's "It's Tuesday" opening.

Just a sample of the news items and condolences from Italian news sites and blogs:

It's so strange how much I've been affected by this news. But when I think about it, I spent more time listening to Ryan Davis than I did with probably any of my family members that past away (they were out of state, I was young, etc.). Being upset about my family members dying wasn't strange, why should it be strange that I'm so upset about a person I spent so much more time "interacting" with. I never met Ryan Davis, he never knew who I was, but I think I knew him, at least a little bit, which is more than I can say for most of the people in my life. And I'll miss him.
Work places might frown on people looking at naked babies.
I've been listening to it on non-premium for awhile now. It just plays a commercial every few songs like Spotify always does.
Hmm...maybe my browser is bugging it out. Thanks.
I haven't read this entire thread, but I feel like my thoughts will mirror many those of many who've already posted; Ryan's personality came across as fun and welcoming, it's a shame that the world lost someone so young, but this thread and posts around the internet show that he won't be forgotten. The stories that people have posted about meeting him in various settings are nice and a good reminder that he was a solid dude.
He was younger than me, so his passing has me pondering my own mortality, but instead of being sad about it, I'd rather turn it into a positive and follow his example; I want to live life large and enjoy myself and help the people around me do the same.
Rest in peace, good sir. Thanks for all of your contributions, good times, and fun memories.

I was thinking about starting off my next podcast that way in tribute... dunno if I should though.

Cool thing about being in Heaven: He's already played the entire catalog of PS4 and XB1 games and, up there, they're all 5 stars.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Poor guy was 7 years younger than me and had so much to live for.
I'm roughly his size, so this sorry news motivated me to make some changes - starting today. We just had a baby girl in March and I want to be around as long as I can for her.
You know, I've never listened to a single bombcast or even looked at the website, but have seen him around and always thought he looked like a nice guy. I'm feeling hit by this news just based on that, so you guys who listened to him every week and knew him must be really miserable..
