If someone's already started doing this in one of those other threads, I apologize. The forums are a bit crazy right now. But I figure we should celebrate Ryan Davis in the only way that we the internet can: with embedded video and audio clips. I'll start.
Ryan Davis
Ryan Davis was a GameSpot editor and co-founder of Giant Bomb. He was solely responsible for founding batmanbatmanbatman.com and cocainemountain.com, and went by the online nickname of "Taswell." Ryan passed away on July 3, 2013. He is gone but never forgotten. We love you, Ryan.
In Memorium: Your favorite Ryan Davis moments.
This video suddenly became super depressing
I'm sure that Ryan would love the shit out of how ironically dark this video has become.
Too damn many of the quick looks & bombcasts come to mind but think that I'm going to start watching those quick looks again as well as listening to those bombcasts.
A link for others to enjoy Ryan's own brand of humor & insight that he brought to the world.

edit-rewatching the contents of the list & here's the ones rewatched so far with the INFAMOUS Ryan in it (plenty of other good ones on the list). many other great moments there but here are some of my favorites.
Kinect Disneyland Adventures with Will Smith
I really loved when he talked about how some mainstream newspaper mentioned his Assassin's Creed 2 video review and quoted him out of co text saying things about the game's glorious assassination variety.
Also, wearing a Fuck Ryan Davis shirt just got a whole lot weirder...

I agree.
@capum15: that laugh! tears duder tears
I just saw this for the first time in ages over on the Tested forums. http://www.tested.com/forums/general-discussion/456695-ryan-davis-power/
Every time he would give that great, deep belly laugh in reaction to something insane Jeff said. It was pure happiness in audio form.
Cried laughing watching this segment.
Still one of my all time favorite moments, Ryan's reaction always makes me lose it with laughter.
A worthy mention: Ryan's reaction to the flying car bug in the Sleeping Dogs: Year of the Snake DLC quick look.
This is probably my favorite. This is the most legitimately happy I think I ever saw Ryan.
Pre-beard Ryan serenading us with some falsetto MJ. Thank you Eric Pope.
And of course...
Twitter is just a library of amazing RD moments and pictures right now. Ryan Davis trending #2 in Canada and I think worldwide.
It's a classic. Makes me just feel awful inside, but good at the same time? I don't even know what to do with myself now.
@murderousdonkey: @serhulse: Totally forgot about that. God, he's so happy.
Seeing Ryan get giddy over seeing young Brad Muir as a programmer for Alter Echo made me smile and laugh big time!
Edit: I also want to say that the Rider Meets Horse, Horse Meets Rider moment with Ryan Davis was one of my first and favorite quick look memories ever and got me hooked onto this website!
Damn, you beat me to it! One of the greatest Ryan moments!
The part where Ryan realizes just how fucking awesome the music is is like pure video game joy in a bottle.
Also, just how much fun he and Patrick are clearly having.
