One of the first youtubers I subscribed to. Loved his content, and I always thought he was awesome.
That's why I enjoyed his Terraria series immensely. It was less of a let's play than a comedy podcast.My favorite moments of the Co-optional Podcast were when Dodger and Jesse were being hammy enough that TB's stoic, grumpy facade cracked just a little bit. A rare, but delightful thing.
RIP. Always admired his work, WTF is series was excellent. The man was stubborn for sure, it saddens me that he couldn't use that to defeat the disease but atleast he put up on a hell of a fight. I wish his friends and family strenght in these hard times. They aren't alone, John had a wide reach and was loved by many.
And while I really don't want to start further discussion about it here, because of few posts I've seen I feel I need to atleast mention this. At the latest CoxCon which John was an ogranizer of, there was a very transphobic "question asked" and that person was thrown out of the convention and it was clearly stated that such behaviour will not be tolerated and such people aren't welcomed. And he has scolded his own followers few years earlier too for their comments when he had a transgender person as a guest on his podcast. He recorded fairly long rant about it which clearly concluded that intolerance and bigotry in their viewerbase will not stand. I do believe these words, I think he was being honest and he was being a good person here. https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/we-need-to-have-words This isn't ment to be a point of discussion, it's just a part of what I remember him for and why I remember him warmly besides the informative and intelligent gaming talks.
