Ryan Davis 1979 - 2013

Worked at GameSpot from 2000-2008, co-founded Giant Bomb with Jeff Gerstmann in 2008.

He was a jolly man who knew how to get the work done, and was an influential and cheerful personality in video games journalism.
 
They just posted 22 minute video of out takes of Ryan from over the years. It was awesome.

Video Thing: That's So Ryan!

No live shows for a while. I would love to see a huge cast on their next live show and have Ryan's host chair left empty in respect. That would be special.

Really sad seeing a load of people in the industry talking about him on twitter yesterday :(

Been listening to the early bombcasts recently since Vinny left for the east coast, forgot how much more light-hearted they used to be :(
 
I miss him a lot for sure. The GB shows just haven't been that great since he left us. I tend to listen to older bombcasts these days rather than the newer ones. Him and Jeff bounced off each other like a comedy duo.
 
Wow a year already??! Missed the days with him on the Bombcast, hasn't been the same since.

He never got a chance to see the PS4 and Xbox One launch, which is a shame.

He never got to enjoy his new life with his wife. He died shortly after getting married. :(

That's the most horrible part :(

Must be hard for the GB team with the controversy over hiring the new guys and the anniversary of Ryan's death in the same week :/

Spent most of last night watching him play dark souls on one of the old subscriber streams :(

Alex tweeted pretty much that a couple of days ago.

"Of all the weeks for things to go full-*******-awful, THIS WEEK IN PARTICULAR really didn't need to be it."
 
He was the heart and soul of Giant Bomb really.

I was listening to those guys years ago and they got me through dreary mornings while at work. Use to love the light hearted humour.

I don't think i've ever seen a bad word written about this guy anywhere, he seemed genuinely decent to me.

They never said what happened to him, but I always assumed it was a heart attack but long term sleep problems are evil. He was a big dude.

Anyone notice how they seem to talk about junk food in every single episode of Giant Bomb? literally every single one.

Seems to me he died at the most happiest part of his entire life.

iirc Ryan's father confirmed it was related to his sleep apnoea

I heard the new guys on the latest bombcast. Whats all the controversy about? They seemed alright to me.

There's an uproar because they hired another two white guys..

Honestly, loads of feminists and white knights attacking GB, and then people atacking back in the name of GB :o

I like the new guys, the new editor has a lot of good video content over at game informer, did a quick look the other day too but I haven't seen that yet.
