Things you wish Ryan could get to see...

The unfortunate things I realize Ryan won't be able to see.

- Playing Saints Row 4

- Launch of the XBO and PS4

- Half Life 3 being announced

I think the last one is the most unfortunate. People can literally be fans of Half Life and die before it even gets a story conclusion.

His loved ones, much more important than games in the long run.

God damn it, I have to stop visiting the forums, this is seriously killing me.

Since time and space don't exist in heaven he probably is playing the Xbox two and PS5 right now.

Someone said it on Twitter, I thought the guys would be together for decades.

I wish Ryan could see how much he meant to us. I hope he knew how he had touched and inspired us all

Probably trying to tell us how crazy it is that Sega announced a new Dreamcast in the future.

But i got to stop going to these forums.... this is getting too much for me. But you guys are the only ones that understand my pain.

Nobody that i know gives a shit.

These threads...

I think someone like Ryan should have no doubt he was loved by many people from around the world, but its still heartwarming to see this response from the community.

Australian spider breast milk

The new Civ 5 expansion comes out later today, kinda sad he wont get to play it.

I wish he could see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch :(

Or shenmue 3 is at E3 2014.

His eventual family, Ryan would have been an awesome dad!

Its posible he was playing it for a review.

Ryan got married to the love of his life and probably had the best f**king weekend of his entire life before he passed. He was able to experience something that a lot of people can only hope to find. Compared to that, games and consoles seem laughably trivial.

Indeed.

Yeah... but this was still something he loved. There are worse ways to go out, but you know he was looking forward to the crazy new launch of next gen. Especially given how insane everything this year is.

Saints Row IV.

I may not have thought SR3 was so great but that game seemed like something that was right up his alley, along with Jeff's, and SR4 looks like an even bigger, crazier, better version of that. Gaming-wise, probably that.

Also this. Yes, it's a tragedy, but he must have had some amazing times beforehand.

How much everyone loved him. Harmonix stream going on right now talking about Ryan - http://www.twitch.tv/harmonixmusic

Yeah, in some ways, "It's better to burn out than to fade away".

Ryan and Giant Bomb made a rockstar out of "videgames journalism". In some ways, it's what every kid hopes for.

Yeah, but that makes it so much harder. I can't even imagine how hard his wife must be taking it.

50 more birthdays

I can tell you right now, my one regret in life will be never finishing every game. Ever.

But mostly never finishing Balder's Gate II.

But I don't feel bad for what Ryan didn't see, what he didn't see or didn't do is so immeasurable. What matters is:

Did he do what was important to him?

I could feel bad for Ryan not doing things I want to do, But I can tell you right now, I don't want to get married, nor do I think the time you need to devote to a relationship is worth it.

He thought differently, he valued that relationship, he gave up time, and money and who knows what else to devote to that relationship. I probably wont see a relationship like that, But that should not be something to be sad about.

Did he do what he wanted with his life?

Did he leave an impact on the world?

Did he do more good then harm?

If the answers to all those are yes, then I think he won.

Same here. My girlfriend keeps looking at me like "what the fuck is wrong?" and my friends (except for one or two that know about Giant Bomb and Ryan Davis) just think it's stupid.
