I don't like about life that you can be able to picture someone so well, and you can also be able to picture a decade so well, but you can't picture the combination if they weren't there for it. Thanks Ryan. You should have got so much longer.
I can't believe it's been 5 years. Sometimes I find myself wondering what Ryan would think about certain games, and news stories on the bombcast. I still miss him a lot.
It's so strange - I 100% remember where I was when i read he had passed. Someone who I hadn't even met made me stop in my tracks. Felt like I had lost a friend. RIP Ryan wherever you are!
Y’know, I can’t help but feel like the amount of audio and video featuring Ryan has made him effectively immortal to some extent. If I’m having a bad day, I know I can pull up an old video or Bombcast and get a laugh out of Ryan and co.’s antics. Thanks, Ryan Davis. Even now, your existence continues to brighten people’s days one bottle of (Certified!) Anonymous Breast Milk at a time. o7
I cried dude. I cried. Ryan, I miss you so much. Your heart was pure as gold and you are truly, one of the best human beings I have ever watched on the internet. I hope where you are now, you still are a joyous man. Please, continue spreading that infectious joy.
My friends get onto me all the time for taking videos of mundane shit that goes on in our lives. I always tell them it'll be something to look back on in the future, and they'll be amused by all of it. This situation just proves it... don't take any moment in your life, big or small, for granted. Record it if you want, go back and relive some great memories. Thanks for sharing this, Drew!!
It makes me so sad to watch this...years later. I still listen to old podcasts or watch videos with Ryan in them occasionally, so I often still think of Ryan. I have also watched the crew at Giant Bomb grow and move forward without him. I watch this video and suddenly see how young the crew look next to Ryan and I realize that it's because we never got to see him grow older. Giant Bomb today still seems like something he would be super proud of. I miss him.
I guess it speaks to the charm and memorable nature of Ryan that he was able to touch so many in such a lasting manner. Tie into that Giant Bomb's early beginnings and their sincere dedication to video content and 2008 was a time where someone could watch a site practically come together from nothing at all. Seeing the whole crew form from a behind the scenes perspective still sticks with me to this day. Beyond that, Ryan's passing marks the first time I've ever wept over someone I have never met. Though in a way, we all got to meet him, through the site's impersonal 'camera's-always-on' approach.
I've been thinking about you alot for the past two days. I've never met you and I didn't view your content until after your tragic passing. You make me want to stay alive. I Hope I can bring joy to the world just like you did. I just had to write something. Never in my life have I grieved over someone I never knew. Despite all of that, I fucking miss you somehow.
I'm glad I've been occupied as hell with a demanding work week, because almost all of my time not spent sleeping/working/eating has been spent on old GB content. God, I'd waste away watching these videos in Ryan's honor if I could. It still regularly amazes me how much I miss him.
This video fucking kills me... I STILL watch old videos of Ryan like he was the brother I always wanted in my life. I will never EVER stop missing him, and it really just hurts to keep knowing he is not around anymore.
if you'd load a revolver with one bullet and 5 blanks, and asked me ryan+vinny VS ryan+jeff, you'd get one shot off before i probably answer ryan+vinny
I am surprised by how powerful this truly is. :' ( Its losing someone you listened to all the time. Its losing someone that has brought so many laughs to my days. My first quicklook was Ryan and Jeff only three or so years ago, but I feel like I've been with them forever. Thank you for this though. Brings full closure to everything.
Man, this is brilliant, but also really sad. Ryan was truly great at what he did and it seems weird but I feel like I've lost a friend. RIP Ryan and thanks for all the good times. You're already missed.
The news of Ryan's passing came as a complete shock. I don't think anyone was expecting something like that to happen, especially to someone who's so young and had his whole life ahead of him. R.I.P. And to the other GB crew, keep on keeping on. You guys have a good thing going and you are all doing a great job at dealing with this.
Summer 2021: Now that ending shot fade-out is REALLY fucking depressing. Jeff being the one off to the side sort of watching over all of them is something.
It's still surprising how much it hit me when he passed. You really feel it personally. You get to know them all so well over the years. Rest in peace man
Thanks so much for this! RIP Ryan Davis you will be absolutely missed! Oh and thanks for Ryan for Hansel and Gretel movie recommendation. It was pretty good! :)
Thank you so much guys, this was just fantastic! I laughed, I cried, I cried laughing at explosive diarrhea. Long live Giant Bomb and long live the memory of Ryan Davis, may he rest in peace.
Honestly Ryan's death hit me harder than any celebrity's death ever has, truly an inspiration to me and I can't help but think this is the same for many others. RIP, a truly wonderful man.
Hey GiantBomb thanks for all you've done these past few days. I can only imagine how you and Ryan's family must be feeling because as just a fan it's been a totally sad surreal week. I just want to wake up and hear Ryan say "It'sTuesday!"
Some people worry when people pass that they'll eventually forget what the person sounds like, looks like, acts like, etc., but Ryan Davis is so fucking unforgettable. Ryan Davis LIVES!
Having only been a subscriber for a year, I can only say "Thanks Ryan, rest in peace. I'll be watching your old videos just so I can laugh a little more." To the rest of the GiantBomb crew - you're doing great, now go make Ryan proud!
God damn, just been watching a load of classic Giantbomb, only to realise it's 2 days away from the 11th anniversary of this.. Still tough to think about. He really was the glue that held it all together, and it's never been the same.
I'm seriously going to miss the humor and joy he brought into my life every Tuesday from the giantbombcast. I'll still be listening every week though cause I frigging love the giantbomb crew! All of em.
as down as his passing gets me, watching these videos just makes my laugh for a good long time then take a deep breath and say 'fuck'. I'll miss you ryan.
I don't like about life that you can be able to picture someone so well, and you can also be able to picture a decade so well, but you can't picture the combination if they weren't there for it.
Thanks Ryan. You should have got so much longer.
I can't believe it's been 5 years. Sometimes I find myself wondering what Ryan would think about certain games, and news stories on the bombcast. I still miss him a lot.
its actually been 9 years
10 now 😢 RIP
Yeah😢
Still miss Ryan 10 years later. Tough to believe he was only 4 years older than I am now.
10 years....unbelievable...this wonderful man has never and will never leave my memory. RIP, buddy.
It's so strange - I 100% remember where I was when i read he had passed. Someone who I hadn't even met made me stop in my tracks. Felt like I had lost a friend. RIP Ryan wherever you are!
I've never felt this way for someone that I've never met before. RIP duder

Still not over it
I make sure to listen to old Bombcasts to keep this man alive. RIP, man.
10 years later, Ryan Davis is still the best. gone but never forgotten
And... back again. I really, really love this video.
Can't believe it has nearly been 10 years. Miss you Ryan.
RIP buddy! Still miss you.
What's Rorie up to?
We miss you buddy :(
I cried dude. I cried. Ryan, I miss you so much. Your heart was pure as gold and you are truly, one of the best human beings I have ever watched on the internet. I hope where you are now, you still are a joyous man. Please, continue spreading that infectious joy.

Fuck, 5 months later and this video still makes me smile and brings tears to my eyes at the same time

Gone but never ever forgotten,we miss you Ryan
You don't notice in the moment as the years go by, but goddamn do they all look way younger than they do now.
I've been thinking about you alot for the past two days. I've never met you and I didn't view your content until after your tragic passing. You make me want to stay alive. I Hope I can bring joy to the world just like you did.

Giant bomb never recovered. Incredible talent
Thanks for putting this together guys. Ive been following Ryan, and most of you, since 2000. He will be missed.
You'll never be forgotten, Ryan. RIP.
This video fucking kills me... I STILL watch old videos of Ryan like he was the brother I always wanted in my life. I will never EVER stop missing him, and it really just hurts to keep knowing he is not around anymore.
i wish i couldve met ryan in person
ill have to drop some flowers on his grave someday
if you'd load a revolver with one bullet and 5 blanks, and asked me ryan+vinny VS ryan+jeff, you'd get one shot off before i probably answer ryan+vinny

Thank you for this though. Brings full closure to everything.
my condolences to all of you who knew him and had contact with him, he seemed like an absolutely stellar guy to be around.
"I know a guy...Joker shot him in the balls." "REALLY?" "Yeah...for showing him his balls."
I keep coming back to this video, will always miss him.
Whenever I'm down I find myself watching this video
10 years. Still miss ya duder
Man, this is brilliant, but also really sad. Ryan was truly great at what he did and it seems weird but I feel like I've lost a friend. RIP Ryan and thanks for all the good times. You're already missed.
It makes me happy that even though he left too young, he seemed to live life to its fullest. Love you Ryan.
The news of Ryan's passing came as a complete shock. I don't think anyone was expecting something like that to happen, especially to someone who's so young and had his whole life ahead of him. R.I.P.

Yeah. So much for that.
I miss this guy
It's still surprising how much it hit me when he passed. You really feel it personally. You get to know them all so well over the years. Rest in peace man
Simultaneously so happy and so sad. Thanks for putting this together, Bombcrew. We'll miss you, Ryan.
Thanks so much for this! RIP Ryan Davis you will be absolutely missed! Oh and thanks for Ryan for Hansel and Gretel movie recommendation. It was pretty good! :)
Aw man, the ending where they are all waving. RIP Ryan. You will be missed.

Thank you so much guys, this was just fantastic! I laughed, I cried, I cried laughing at explosive diarrhea. Long live Giant Bomb and long live the memory of Ryan Davis, may he rest in peace.
This was a fitting tribute.
Godspeed Ryan, it won't be the same without you.
Goodbye Ryan thank you for over 12 years of awesomeness.
R.I.P
Honestly Ryan's death hit me harder than any celebrity's death ever has, truly an inspiration to me and I can't help but think this is the same for many others. RIP, a truly wonderful man.
Hey GiantBomb thanks for all you've done these past few days. I can only imagine how you and Ryan's family must be feeling because as just a fan it's been a totally sad surreal week. I just want to wake up and hear Ryan say "It'sTuesday!"
everything that goes on behind the scenes is golden. stuff like this is what makes giantbomb great. rest well Ryan.
Not gonna lie, I shed a tear there at the end. Thanks Ryan for everything.
thank you for being so amazing Giant Bomb. Thank you Ryan Davis for everything you have done for the community.
Thank you Vinny and Drew for putting this together. Goodbye Ryan, you magnificent man, you. Rest in peace.
RIP Ryan...considering how often I go back to rewatch all the old content, you'll always keep me laughing :)
A great person with a light hearted spirit who was taken too soon. Rest In Peace Ryan Davis
love ryan davis. never forget
You were never forgotten, Ryan.
That ending shot used to hit like a truck, now it hits like a freight train.
Some people worry when people pass that they'll eventually forget what the person sounds like, looks like, acts like, etc., but Ryan Davis is so fucking unforgettable. Ryan Davis LIVES!
5 years today. Gone so fast.... pour one out for Ryan.
A year later and here I am again. Sadness is sort of predicable, I guess. 8(
Thanks for putting this video together, it is fantastic.
Having only been a subscriber for a year, I can only say "Thanks Ryan, rest in peace. I'll be watching your old videos just so I can laugh a little more."
To the rest of the GiantBomb crew - you're doing great, now go make Ryan proud!
Wifireless is my new favorite word. Ryan's reaction was priceless.
God damn, just been watching a load of classic Giantbomb, only to realise it's 2 days away from the 11th anniversary of this.. Still tough to think about. He really was the glue that held it all together, and it's never been the same.
Man, watching this makes it hard to believe he's really gone. He was so full of life, it's a damn shame really.
Truly one of a kind.
We miss you Ryan!! You made me laugh so many times, Thank You!!
He may be gone but he will continue to make us laugh with his amazing personality. RIP Ryan!
Still here, still loving Ryan Davis.
Went down a real rabbithole of Ryan videos. God time flies, and not in a good way.
Actually got tears of laughter for the full 20 minutes there. God damn, Ryan Davis you will be missed. RIP
Miss you Ryan, you were the best.
That was about to be the saddest ending to a video I've seen in a long time. Thanks for not letting that happen.
A really awesome tribute, I'm sure Ryan would be pleased with this.
The Grand Slam Tennis 2 bit is still the best.
Rest in Peace RTD
I am going to miss you Ryan, GB will never be the same, you were a hilarious man, especially when teamed with Vinny. Rest in Peace felllow gamer
I'm seriously going to miss the humor and joy he brought into my life every Tuesday from the giantbombcast. I'll still be listening every week though cause I frigging love the giantbomb crew! All of em.
RIP Ryan. Thank you for everything.
You guys are great. Never stop doing what you do.
RIP Ryan
you will be missed more so than I think anyone could have imagined
I try and watch Ryans videos daily to keep him alive in spirit and i miss him as if he had passed just yesterday :(
Ryan was the reason I started listening to podcasts. R.I.P.
Miss you Ryan.
I feel like this is the first time I've ever seen Ryan be genuinely casual. It's almost like seeing a different person.
Ryan was the best. Miss you dude
His laugh and smile are absolutely infectious
as down as his passing gets me, watching these videos just makes my laugh for a good long time then take a deep breath and say 'fuck'. I'll miss you ryan.
Great video guys.
As always....great video.
Miss you Ryan
This is WONDERFUL. Thanks guys!
This guy was the reason I keep going back to watch the Kinect Quick looks. The chemistry with Jeff was second to none! TOO FUNNY.
Laughed until I cried; this is wonderful
I still can't believe he's gone.
Rest well, duder.
Ryan Davis, you are an awesome dude and I still miss hearing your dulcet tones on the Bombcast and your antics on the internet. You are a boss.
It's still unreal. God damn Ryan, we'll miss you so much :c
He will truly be missed
best original music is my favorite segment of this video - miss you Ryan!
Oh man. Ryan copping a feel on Vinnie at the end caught me by complete surprise. I just guffawed loud enough that I scared the cat.
Love Ryan Davis ❤
RIP Big guy we all still miss you
