It has taken me almost two days to be capable of posting in this thread. Ryan has brought so much joy into my life without ever having been in the same room. There was truly something special about him, something that always brought out the best of whoever was around him. He was a big guy with an even bigger soul.

I'll miss you Ryan Davis.

 

[Bacon]

Does anyone know if they will podcast? I really want one, even if it is only a half an hour or something...
Edit... Sorry just noticed that's already been being debated, should have looked at that before I posted. I really think they should though

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Nobody knows

 

[Shaneus]

I don't know if it's been mentioned today or not, but Idle Thumbs has released their weekly cast a day early, from what I can gather (my question was a bit vague) as a show of respect to Mr. Davis:

July 9, 2013
With the tragic passing of Ryan Davis, we try to find a chuckle within a horrific simulator, just as we hope he would've wanted. Our thoughts and wishes go out to the guys at Giant Bomb and Ryan's friends and family. He was and is truly one of the greats.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I'm listening to Jeff and Ryan talk about the Fast and The Furious movies and now I'm tremendously sad that Ryan won't get the see the new one after that cliffhanger in 6

 

[MrCunningham]

You talk as if its the end of Giant Bomb. Its not. If anything, this will make them stronger as a team. They will take time to get over their loss, but if you are familiar with the lads, you know they will bounce back and continue to be the best in the industry.

He will always be remembered as one of the founders of Giant Bomb, but we will enter into a new era. Im still in a state of shock, as im sure everyone is....but think positively. From tragedy positive things emerge.

I never suggested that this would be the end of Giant Bomb, though my post did kind of came off that way, now that I re-read it. What I meant to say was that I wish I checked out more Giant Bomb when Ryan was a part of it. He seemed to have brought a lot to the GB quick looks and streams.

He mentioned in the recent podcast that he hadn't gotten to see the most recent fast and furious, really hope he got to watch it before he passed

thankfully those are all available to watch, I haven't seen most of the quick looks but have been watching quite a few since I heard the news yesterday

I know how you feel, I really wish I had been more involved with Giant Bomb in the past now beyond just listening to the Bombcast every week

 

[AkuMifune]

He certainly brought a joie de vivre none of the others have.

its impossible to replace I'm. I'll listen forever, but it will never be the same.

 

[Anth0ny]

This is going to be one sad bombcast if they decide to put one out today

 

[yami4ct]

No matter how far they get from it, it's going to be really sad when they finally come back. Heck, the next few are going to be tough to listen to even if the guys are able to joke around.

EDIT:

Looks like Patrick on Twitter just confirmed bombcast is on.

 

[Cartman86]

Patrick just said "Podcast" on Twitter. Looks like they are going to record today. I imagine he is going to call/skype in.

 

[Dug]

Podcast.

https://twitter.com/patrickklepek/status/354764570595827714

This is gonna be weird...

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Nothing but the most profound respect for them making sure the show goes on. It might be touching, it might be silly, but whatever direction they're going to take it I'm with them for the ride.

 

[alr1ght]

Has twitter been running like shit the last few days or is it just me?

 

[Willkiller]

Nothing stops the Bombcast.

I'm glad they're doing it, it's going to be emotional and very weird but I think we'll get the best tributes to Ryan out of it.

 

[yami4ct]

It's going to be real weird, but even if it's a really short dedication 'cast, I'm glad they're doing it. Nothing stops the bombcast. Ryan would have wanted to make sure the streak remains unbroken .

 

[kaskade]

Oh man. I guess I should get ready to cry tonight.

 

[MormaPope]

Patrick just tweeted "podcast". I'm not so quick on screen caps, but he tweeted that just now.

EDIT: I see I'm not the only one checking twitter like a madman.

 

[Deadstar]

NOTHING STOPS THE BOMBCAST. Pay tribute to this awesome man.

not sure what to expect..

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

Somehow I think Ryan would love that

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

Usually save the podcast for when I'm lying in bed, but I think I'll make an exception this time.

 

[yami4ct]

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

Holy crap, a celeb gossip blog picking this up? Ryan would have lost his shit over this. So hilariously stupid/fitting.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

I miss you, Ryan.

 

[goldsoundz]

Keeping Ryan's streak alive. This is where his death will likely finally register with me. The Bomb Squad are a strong bunch of men.

 

[Burritoad]

This is gonna be real tough to listen to

 

[Maxim726X]

NOTHING STOPS THE BOMBCAST. Pay tribute to this awesome man.

I got bashed for suggesting that this is what he would have wanted...

But this is probably what he would have wanted. Not missing a Tuesday was a point of pride for Mr. Davis.

Way to go guys. I'll have my hanky ready.

 

[Einbroch]

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

Perfect, absolutely perfect.

 

[Acid08]

NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN.

Bravo guys.

 

[yami4ct]

Man, that Olly Moss blog post made me tear up a bit. Small, but really touching all the same. I think his death is really starting to hit me now. Bombcast is going to kill me.

[MormaPope]

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

Ryan Davis alongside Mr. Power Yeezus himself. How goofy and awesome.

 

[chubigans]

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

It is so weird to see this and have a good laugh about how absurd it looks.

The pictures they used, the way the site looks, everything. Man.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Oh I am so not looking forward to this in so many ways.

 

[Volotaire]

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

This is so perfect in many ways .

 

[Con_Smith]

I'm scared this podcast will be the one to break me. The Scoops break down almost took me but this could make the water works run if things get super heavy.

 

[jaypah]

NOTHING STOPS THE BOMBCAST. Pay tribute to this awesome man.

Damnit, this. I'm gonna bawl my eyes out but fuck that, if they're ready I'm ready.

lol http://hollywoodlife.com/

like a boss

 

[PedroLumpy]

God damn, this is going to be something else.

 

[Vman]

HAHAHA

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Ryan on the front page of Hollywoodlife. It makes me smile thinking how much he would have laughed his ass off at the ridiculousness of that.

 

[Willkiller]

Bryan Davis will make me laugh forever

 

[anatomyhorror]

Has it been said what the cause of death was?

 

[2Crisis]

Has it been said what the cause of death was?

Natural Causes, straight from his Dad.

 

[Lexxon]

That Hollywoodlife thing is pure gold. It's almost as if someone set it up.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Has it been said what the cause of death was?

natural causes.

 

[causan]

like a boss

LOL this is great. Im sure Ryan laughing his ass off right now.

 

[Cartman86]

Has it been said what the cause of death was?

Natural causes and no we don't know specifically.

 

[Banana Kid]

Next to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and above Miley Cyrus, sits Ryan Davis.

I'm trying to imagine the reaction of the typical gossip site reader, seeing this and becoming utterly confused about who the fuck that guy is.
