Dedication to his craft, integrity, nuance, talent, and a scaffold for deserving but under-appreciated talent.
John exemplifies all of these qualities. He was (and still is) the only games journalist whose content I personally found worth watching and hold in high regard. He will be missed, especially because there is no real quality alternative to his content at the moment.
RIP

I didn't watch too much of TotalBiscuit but his WTF is...? videos were really good. From what i have read in this thread he led a meaningful life, damn this sucks, RIP.
That is so sad, it went so quick from retiring until his death.
Rest in piece and may your friends and family come to peace with it.

I have had massive issues with black tarry stools, it represents a bleed in the upper intestinal tract while more reddish, light red stools signify that there is a bleed in the lower intestinal tract. For black tarry stools, you need an Endoscopy, a camera through the throat. If you notice anything different in any of your stools, always go to the GP, simple as that.
Unfortunately there was a period for about a week where my stools were black and tarry and I knew it could be potentially life threatening (a stomach ulcer that is at risk of perforation or anything else unusual), so I went to the hospital and it's extremely difficult to convince them to arrange a camera test if your bloods are all normal but I didn't care, you need to push them as much as you can or if you have to, go private.
RIP :( I hope his family will somehow manage. It's a shame, having to go so young and leaving behind a family at this age. My condolences.
I pretty much hate TB and even I can say this isn't the place.
Rest In Peace man.
I was never a PC gamer, but the quality of his videos has always been some of the best. I also respected his valiant battle against cancer.
Thank you for your work John.

Man am i gonna miss him. Loved listening to his wit. No one can make a entertaining video like him about going through menus and talking about them for 30 minutes!
This has really been bumming me out all day. Earlier, I couldn't bear to post more than just RIP. It feels kind of funny to me to feel this way about someone I didn't actually know. The last death to hit me like this was Ryan Davis. At least there, I listened to and watched his content near daily. TotalBiscuit I would only pop in on every once in a while to see what was new on his channel. His was a presence and a voice I greatly enjoyed, and now that it's gone....the sad feelings just gnaws at me.
My condolences go out to Genna and his friends and family.

how is this ban worthy? thread derail because poster talked about, in his/her opinion, how this individual contributed to the video game medium? i've never listened to or watched said individual but come on, a person takes the time to articulate his/her thoughts in multiple paragraphs and you regulate it to essentially "user banned one week for thread derail"?!? at least have the decency to explain why one line comments of "r.i.p. john bain" are not bannable, because those type of comments add SO much to any sort of discussion, but well thought out paragraphs describing how one person, who recently passed away, contributed or not contributed to the medium is.
Guy was very influential, he is literally the goddamn LUL emote on Twitch, everyone knows him.
It isn't the place to say you hated him, why did you even bother to post?
These people trying to politicise his death are truly disgusting individuals. Shame on you.
I'll always have his Garry Incsident video on my phone. Rest in peace John.
For the last week, I've been hesitant to enter the gaming forum because I was afraid to see this thread :(
Rest in peace, John.
Rest in peace, John.
He definitely fought valiantly. I believe the initial prognosis was a life expectancy of 2 years, so he beat that and then some. Right until recently he wanted to go into experimental treatment, but was not a good candidate.
Shit, really enjoyed his presence in the Starcraft 2 scene, hasnt been as involved as much recently for obvious reasons, but he was a major figure a few years ago, and did alot of great stuff, not only with his casting, but the tournaments and hard work he put into the scene. A fantastic hype caster, and always brought alot of enthusiasm and excitement to the games, and was awesome at hyping up the crowd. I didnt watch any of his other videos and streams he did on PC gaming in general, but definitely recognize all the incredible work and perseverance it took to get to where he was. Was really hoping he could battle through his illness, very sad news.
I are not his biggest fan either but this isn't the time or place, let people mourn.
fuck. He was a good man and will be sorely missed by the community. I respected him for his passion and dedication towards the hobby. The gaming world was better with TB's voice and contributions to many discussions. I hope his family, friends, and loved ones do as well as they possibly can in this saddening time.
Fucking cancer... 33 is too young
