Didn't agree with alot of what he said, but that is moot right now. 33 is far too young and cancer is a fucking VILE disease for anyone to go through. I'm deeply sorry for his family, and it is commendible that he faced his disease for so long and so bravely.
Rest in peace John.
And fuck cancer.

Shit. This ain't right. So young, too.
Rest in peace, John. I mostly watched your WTF is... series for entertainment purposes, but it did genuinely get me interested in some games and helped me understand what kind of anti-aliasing and other kinds of settings I should look for in PC games. I appreciate you and your work, and you can bet your ass I'll never forget you.

The only way he's ever impacted my life has been negatively, but RIP anyway I guess.
I like to believe that he left this world a better place than it was when he entered.
He was a very vocal consumer advocate. He was one of the clearest, most coherent and mature voices in the gaming community and his words have helped not only the gaming industry but also other Youtube creators we now take for granted.
I understand very well that John never wanted his audience to care about him as more than a critic or pundit. He always thrived to maintain a certain distance from his fanbase and always presented his content in a clear consider manner without ever failing to disclose any personal biases. A lot of modern creators would do well to heed some of his ideals and etiquette if they want Youtube to be more respected as a medium.
Rest in peace John and thank you for everything you've done for us. You are an example of greatness to all of us.

Fuck
I was doing so well holding back tears too, until this
I've been a huge fan of his since his old WOW Radio days and those old Wow radio podcasts helped me through some really, really bad times. Indredibly sad he passed away and i hope his wife and kid pull through this and i send nothing but love and respect.
My deepest condolences to Genna and family. It is never easy losing someone especially to cancer.
You really think thats appropiate to come out with right now?
Damn, that hit me hard. I used to watch his videos years ago. Sad day for gaming today.
RIP John.
RIP John.
I was holding back the tears then you link this...dam.
Rest in peace John "Totalbiscuit" Bain. I really hope his wife and kids are surrounded by people that love them
Not really the time or the place I guess.
Christ. Seriously that's really fucking immature and gross, dude.
RIP total biscuit, such a huge fan of yours since the beginning. You will be missed very much.
Your post is stupid and sounds like a teenager begging for attention, congratulations.
Very sad. I never followed him as closely as others but really appreciated the platform he gave to Brandon and Kyle after the collapse of Gametrailers to help gather the community which would become Easy Allies. He was unique as a gaming personality.
RIP.
RIP.
If anyone reading this thread would like to offer some financial support to John's family during this time you can do so by purchasing some of his merch: https://represent.com/store/totalbiscuit
John was always against donations so this is, as far as I know, the best way to send his family some financial support during this time.

I miss him unreservedly. No caveats, no "in spite of x and y", none of that; he was treated ungraciously enough by his sneering detractors in life. John was an icon of the StarCraft scene who earned the trust of the community and kept it, nourished it, overcoming any initial doubts about the level of his commitment or the depth of his love and sticking with us through thick and thin. By the end, and indeed long before the end, even before his illness, nobody had anything unkind to say.
And all my sympathies to Genna. It took years of frustration with the US border just for the two of them to properly cohabit again and she has lost him so, so soon.

So young, this is absolutey devastating. He was such an influental content creator, adored his WTF series.
