Ryan's "WHAT. ARE. YOU. SAYING?!" to Will Smith's mispronunciation of executable is stitched into my day-to-day lexicon.
I forget who came up with it when he died, but I always loved the idea of changing the "Fuck Ryan Davis" shirt to "Fuck, Ryan Davis"
RIP
RIP
TANG and Wonderful World of TANG are some of my GB content.
My favorite Ryan memory is him playing all of Chrono Trigger with Patrick though. GB indeed hasn't been the same since those days.
I miss Ryan Davis, while I started listening to Giant Bomb after his passing, I did listen to a number of the podcasts when people recommended episodes, he was so funny and definitely can see why Giant Bomb was at its peak with him around.
I got married a few days after him and when he sent out a tweet talking about melting or something I shot back "sweating through that suit?" To which he replied "you know it" I was trying on my suit and myself melting in the summer heat.
Fucking brutal for his wife to have that happen so soon after such a happy day. I miss having him on the podcast every week, even now, and hope his friends and family still hold up well.

Honestly, I remember being in a real funk after he died. Listening to the podcast every week and following all those guys on Twitter gives you this weird sense of intimacy. You basically hear the riders talk about their lives, their other hobbies, their SOs, and even though it is completely one sided, it still hurt in a different way than way a celebrity died. A movie star dies and you think fuck, I loved their work, but when Ryan Davis died I thought about how he had just gotten married.
He was truly great and the industry, not to mention the world, is a poorer place without him.

I've mentioned this before, but I found out pretty shortly after it happened, before it was made "public." I kept hoping that it was a misunderstanding, checking his Twitter to see if he had posted anything, etc. Like others have mentioned, it really did put me in a funk for days.
I'll always wonder why people use this thread as an opportunity to mention that they "don't like Giant Bomb since he passed." Ya'll know GB staff read and post here, right?

I'll always remember the day he passed away since my grandfather passed away on the same day the following year. Kind of similar to how Patrick Klepek's father passed away on the same day the year before Ryan passed away.
One of my favorite memories is getting in on a TNT episode where they played random PSN games and I faced off against Ryan in a game of multiplayer Tetris with four people where he wrecked everybody. I think I still have the GB TNT PSN account on my friends list after all of these years.

I have this distinct memory of listening to the bombcast where they talk about Ryan while I was flying home from the Uk. It almost didn't feel real.
RIP , he was an amazing personality gone too soon.

Never again will a bromance light up our world like that of Jeff and Ryan.
User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory accusation; History of trolling.
Its evidence Jeff is a sociopath when it comes to this. Vinny was very emotional at the time and always mentions Ryan on his anniversary, but Jeff never gives any thought to Ryan even though he was a co founder of the company, has no emotion at the time or afterwards, and likes to just forget him.
The fact that you would type this about a man you don't know kind of makes you the sociopath
Everyone copes with things in different ways. So quick to jump the gun. Fuck outta here with that.
