"He changed my life and I know that's going to change my sons life" is such a beautiful quote from Vinny and really you can feel it's the biggest praise he could ever give to Ryan.
I only got into Giant Bomb like last year, so I never really listened during the Ryan Davis years, but it's still so apparent how big an impact he had. Wish he was still around.
I didn't know the news when I first played this episode years ago. At first I thought Ryan had left Giant Bomb, but when I heard Vinny say that he passed away it shocked me. Ryan had just gotten married. I had just listened to an episode with him on it. My brithday was in two days. It didn't make sense. I was at work when I was listening and just broke down. I listened to the whole episode, driving the deliver van, crying. It's been 6 years and I still can't believe he's gone. He's been gone longer than he was at Giant Bomb, but it still feels like he's there. I think he'd be proud of the current Giant Bomb crews. I miss him.
2022 and this still hits hard. Nearly 10 years later. I've never met Ryan, never talked to Ryan and yet his death still deeply saddens me. Goes to show what a cool dude Ryan was
I only got into giantbomb the same night as the switch launch, but I've been a premium member since maybe a month later and I get the Ryan love. He totally had that je ne sais quoi of just so lovable but also so criticical when he had to be. He was an amazing human and may he rest in peace
I’ll never forget the day I read the news. I honestly thought it was joke until I knew it wasn’t. The GB crew were at their highest to me and I was at my professional lowest. Just still an incredible loss. Love Ryan, love Giant Bomb, love Jeff, love everyone.
Miss you Ryan. You were the best! Thanks TehSupaAzn for posting this bombcast. So sad, but so beautiful. I wish Ryan was still with us. Why isn't time travel possible? Oh, well, Ryan of Giant Bomb will be in our hearts forever!
I didn't have a good internet connection at the time of his death due to me having to move into a different dorm. when this was announced i had just found some free internet and sat down to get some game news and to see what the guys were up to and i saw the article. i closed me computer and stayed in my room until i had to go back to work on monday, ryan was my favorite and when i was given a day of freedom on thanksgiving in the middle of basic i didn't call my family, i watched ryand davis because i knew he would make me laugh. rest in peace you crazy bastard.
I remember I was in the break room at work when I heard this as I don't visit the site often. It was such a huge shock :( I know it's super rude to say but I really wish he had taken better care of himself
10 years later. I still miss Ryan and the old Giant Bomb crew. Ryan, you are still alive in our hearts!

Almost 3 years and I'm still gutted about his death. Such a huge HUGE loss.
Still hurts
Almost 10 years now and Ryan's passing is still the most I've been affected by any celebrity passing. He was, is, and will always be missed.
11 years and July 3rd is still Ryan Davis day in my family.

I remember I was on my lunch break when I heard the news. I didn't know him personally, but it felt like I lost an old friend that day.

This is the hardest thing to listen to. I miss you Ryan.
This still hits so damn hard. All these years later.
It really does
I remember listening to this podcast. Heart sunk then, and now.
Oh, man. I didn't realize this was the podcast when I clicked... I haven't listened since that day and I don't know if I can.
I still remember the one time I met Ryan at PAX East, and he was just the nicest guy. I'll never forget him
I’ve still only ever listened to this once, too hard to go back.
Such an emotional podcast. Poor Vinny at the end, you can hear it in his voice.
try to listen to this bombcast yearly now
The last 5 minutes destroy me every time, specifically Vinny. Almost 4 years already and I miss this duder more and more every Tuesday
Miss ya Ryan Giantbomb just isnt the same without his energy and love.
I only got into giantbomb the same night as the switch launch, but I've been a premium member since maybe a month later and I get the Ryan love. He totally had that je ne sais quoi of just so lovable but also so criticical when he had to be. He was an amazing human and may he rest in peace

thank you for posting this.
Rest in Peace Ryan.
Again. Miss that dude. It took awhile to get used to the Bombcast without him. I did though.
Miss you Ryan. You were the best! Thanks TehSupaAzn for posting this bombcast. So sad, but so beautiful. I wish Ryan was still with us. Why isn't time travel possible? Oh, well, Ryan of Giant Bomb will be in our hearts forever!
4 years now. RIP Ryan and also RIP "Free Computer"
Always with us, Ryan. Thanks for all the laughs and entertainment you gave us.
Thanks for all the good times. RIP Ryan.

Teared up listening to this.
Was listening to Taswell today... thought of listening to this
Still missing Ryan Davis.
I shouldn't have relistened to this on my commute to work. I am not a smart man.
I still miss him.
Giant Bomb was so cool.
The first 5 years were the glory days. Loved every minute of it.
This so damn sad
Wow never was a fan back when Ryan was around but he seemed awesome. Strange hearing this
Still miss you Ryan
I just realized that these guys edited thousands of hours of footage of each other. It's fascinating to listen to people who are that close.
Love that photo.
One of the only Bombcasts I can't listen to outside of that sneaky Jeff Virtual Console drop at the start.
RIP Ryan
Miss you ryan

I remember I was in the break room at work when I heard this as I don't visit the site often. It was such a huge shock :(
I know it's super rude to say but I really wish he had taken better care of himself
Rorie's laugh
I’ve never heard this, and what two weeks ago Vinny, Alex and Brad left the site. Man.
Can't believe Vinny brad and Alex are leaving :(
I come from the future and I have worse news...
Nobody in this conglomeration of people are at the company now, and several more have come and gone since. Crazy!
@@tommypowell5329dan really ruined it
WELL CAN'T LISTEN TO THIS
Since his passing, I stopped listening to giant bomb consistently.
All of this is sad, but hearing Vinny sad was the worst. Well, aside from Ryan dying, but that's a given.
