He was the biggest and brightest Starcraft 2 e-sports commentator, such a talent
This is harrowing.
This is harrowing.
There are no words. Truly a legend has passed and so, so far before his time.
Started listening to TB on WoW Radio during the Burning Crusade WoW expack.
RIP Dungeon Master, RIP . :(

Jesus.
I was wondering why the title had a mod edit and some of you guys are terrible.
Biscuits mistake was ignoring the very obvious social issue to express his concerns about gaming press which weren't important relatively.
Don't assume biscuit himself held the same beliefs of the social Neanderthals.
Anyone who even took a passing interest in learning about the gamer gate drama through biscuit and had a functioning moral compass would notice the apparent mysoginy of everyone else throwing shade at journalists by how they were focusing on Quinn.

I wish TotalBiscuit had used his last time on Earth to excuse and reconcile with the pain he caused to many people in the gaming industry & community. Oh well, not much to do about it now. Condolences to his family and friends, his memory, both good and bad, will live on.
I'm crying.
TB, you taught this console guy to actually care about framerates and actually even think PC gaming could be cool. Thank you.
I hope now you can find peace and relief from the pain. You earned it.

I legit shed a tear, all of a sudden... wow, so sad.
RIP. :( :( :(
His Mailbox videos are still awesome. :(

I'm guessing he was more focused on family, friends, and work rather than apologizing for mean things he said on the internet.
We've all said dumb shit when we were younger. Now is not the time. You're not perfect either.Nothing but respect to the man who fought for ethics in journalism;
Brightened the discourse around gaming;
And was a beacon of hope for all.
Damn I only really watched his WTF videos and the occasional twitch streams but very sad for his family and friends.
I think his time was better spent preparing his family for life without him than wasting his last breaths on that. I know I wouldn't spend my last days placating people on the internet.

Damn, that really went way too fast in the end. I'll always remember his pre-youtube days very fondly, and loved what he did for the WoW and Starcraft community. RIP, and condolences to his family and loved ones.
Cancer is the worst. Fuck that shit.
He fought hard to stay longer and he did succeed in doing so.
WTF is... was a great thing to watch IMO and showed me a lot of games I'd otherwise push to the side.
And damn, no more biscuit SC2 commentaries and shoutcraft kings:(
God damnit.

Man how are you supposed to check for that? My dad died from Pancreatic Cancer but that typically shouldn't be screened untily 40s or something. But honestly whenever I get something feeling strange I always default to the worst case scenario. :(
It's rare to get any kind of cancer that young but two of his grandparents also had colon cancer and I'm sure that increased his risk.
I've known too many people who've wasted away from cancer way too early. This sucks. I really loved tbs videos on hearthstone back when I played and to watch him go through this is fucking awful. There's something nice to be said about him doing it publicly for those who haven't had the pleasure of experiencing just how devestating and inyeilding cancer is, but fuck, idk, I'm just grasping at what tho say.
Rip.
Rip.
In a thread about death when many are grieving, all we ask is that posters act with tact and grace. There will undoubtedly be opportunities to discuss the man's legacy holistically in other threads at other times. This is not the right thread to mock the recently deceased for the mistakes they made. Please do not try to pursue or restart this argument from either side.
Been keeping myself distracted since the announcement of his passing it really sucks. His WTF series was always one of the better put together things on youtube going into so many little details pretty much every media outlet straight up ignored. PC gaming lost a really great source of general information and I hope more can learn and expand from his preview style. I hope for the best for his family in this hard time for them.
