This Bombcast from today (6-23-09) the guys bring up why they don't have pages on the site here. Well, I pulled out Guitar Hero 2's instruction book, as that is what Jeff and Brad's pages link them to, and I found these names under "industry" thanks.


Ryan Davis
Brad Shoemaker
Jeff 'Gershman'

So, Vinny is not involved here it seems, but Ryan totally is even though he claims he is not. Let's keep remaking his page until he hates us all. Also, about this 'Gershman' guy, I find that pretty classy. Jeff is too good to have his name spelled correctly in that game manual. =P

I guess I should pop in the game at some point and see if it has the guys during the end credits, but I am far too lazy for that. Rocket Riot is calling me!

I tried telling them this a while ago here, but none of the staff would listen, and the thread got locked.

Well then, I will work on scanning in that page. Red font on black paper might not fly, but I'll make it happen.

They featured it for half an hour on On The Spot every week for about 6 months (OK, that might be a slight exaggeration, but GHII was on OTS a tonne).

 some have seen Ryans name in the booklet. I maybe he's credited, maybe he isn't, I don't know.

But i do know that its there website, and they say he wasn't credited and there for doesn't get a page. that means he doesn't get a page, unless they change there minds at somepoint.

and spamming forum topics and page suggestions is not going to change their minds. get over it.

Maybe if the main staff of the site don't want the page made, you shouldn't make it? Ryan made his thoughts clear.

That's dumb. We're trying to be an encyclopedia of gaming knowledge. If he was credited, he needs a page. Regardless of whether he wants one or not.

@MattyFTM: I think you forget who has 'Staff' under their name and who doesn't ;)

On a sidenote has anyone thought that the Ryan Davis credited may infact be a different Ryan Davis? I'm pretty sure that if Ryan Davis himself says he wasn't credited and that Jeff mentioned in Matty's previous topic on this that Ryan (our Ryan) was not credited then I'm going to guess Ryan Davis of GiantBomb and Gamespot fame was not credited but infact another Ryan Davis was perhaps.

His credit is right next to Jeff, Brad, Rich & Ricardo Torres (there may be even more GS people credited next to him, but I'm not sure). It seems logical to assume they were next to each other because they were from the same site.

The Giant Bomb Programmers (like Snide, Coonce, Andy, etc.) should make an iPhone Giant Bomb Fighting Game with all the Staff as Characters, including Luchadeer! 

Then they could rightfully all have pages up on the site :)

I honestly didn't think I had a special thanks credit in Guitar Hero II, which was the basis for my insistence that there be no Ryan Davis page on Giant Bomb. That photo confirmation is enough for me to concede, so feel free to just go bananas.

So is common courtesy. He's only caved in because people are badgering him and even when the page gets deleted, people remake it.

And don't talk down to me like that.

I wasn't trying to force you to have a page if you didn't want one, but I also wanted you to know that you were specially thanked by them Harmonix folks. Therefore, you are awesome enough to rate a gamey page thing on this awesome site! Congrats!

Out of courtesy, there shouldn't be a Ryan Davis page, as the man himself suggested there be none. But I know, some asshole who thinks he knows better than the man himself is going to make the page. People will be people.

Just like Microsoft, they paid $50 million to get exclusive deals. Oh yeah and before the make an iPhone fighting game they should bring out their app for the G1. Not all of us wants to be on a crazy plan like AT&T.

1. Hamz says "Maybe it isn't Giant Bomb's Ryan Davis".
2. Supermooseman says "The guys before and after him in the credits were from gamespot too, so it must be gamspot's (and therefore Giant Bomb's) Ryan"
3. You said "Some confused bullshit"
4. I said "You are saying some confused bullshit"
5. You said "I'm SO confused".

Does that clear up the conversation?

Yep.  Sadly, I haven't made a game to credit Vinny in yet.  SOMEONE AT CAPCOM DO IT!  NOW!!!  DARK VOID!!!

I seriously think Giant Bomb should petition Capcom to include Vinny in the credits for Dark Void as a special thanks JUST SO WE CAN GIVE HIM A PAGE!!!

That'd go against the idea of "the world's largest editable video game database." Even if he didn't want a Ryan Davis page, there's still the fact that he was credited in a game, and thus he should be in the database. No one was being an asshole.

There is, however, a Vincent Carrella, who bears an UNCANNY resemblance to detective McNulty from The Wire.
