Happy Birthday, Ryan! Still think about you and miss you every day.
Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013
Happy Birthday, Ryan! Still think about you and miss you every day.
I think I first came to GB in around April / May of last year so never had the attachment that some do to Ryan. Having watched all manner of QL's, listened to old Bombcasts and alike, I can see why he was so treasured by his colleagues and the community.
Strangely, Ryan's passing pushed me into becoming a premium subscriber and I felt compelled to use the site more and more - if anything the first Bombcast when they got the whole crew together to talk about Ryan was when I became a GB addict; these were real people, with real stories to tell.
I feel selfishly sad that I never truly got to see him "in the moment" as others did but feel extremely grateful that so much amazingly entertaining and amusing content is archived.
So Happy Birthday to you Ryan - just one piece of ice, right? Cheers.
I didn't realize today was his birthday. The world has just been more... grey since Ryan passed. I still just can't believe it happened. Like all of us, I just want him to be back.
Happy Birthday, Ryan! Still think about you and miss you every day.

It's your birthday again, Ryan. I wish I could afford to get you something, but times are rough in the Lina Rose household.
I'm sorry I never appreciated you while you were here. I'm sorry.
no bourbon unforttunaly but a beer for mr.davis.
been listening to old podcasts and one starts with "This is ryan david speaking from the dead" i guess hes still trolling from the beyond ahaha
Noticed it was Ryan's birthday as I was filling out my schedule at work this morning. Never got to meet you, but I still miss the hell outta you!
On a sidenote, I know Jeff has mentioned, back when Ryan passed, that he would have something to say but now was not the time, but I don't think that ever happened. Ryan and Jeff were such close friends and Jeff is such a protected person when it comes to his feelings on personal matters, I was always intrigued by what he had to say, I wish he did write something. Of course he doesn't have to, how he feels is personal but it doesn't mean I don't want to hear how he feels, I feel like a lot of us could and would relate well.
Dear Ryan!
I'm watching the 'How to build a bomb' series right now. Man, I didn't quite appreciate that you had to build Giant Bomb entirely yourselves, or at least what that doing that was actually like.
Good times.
@striderno9: Jeff got a similar question on his Tumblr and answered that he basically said what he was going to say on the podcast that they did.
Those E3 press conferences just weren't the same without you duder, Last year you were god damn hilarious, i'll never forget it!
Was watching this Doublefine video, take note of the button by Tim's left hand.
pretty cool.
It still feels quite horrible losing him like that, but I'll still miss him dearly. Happy Belated Birthday, Ryan. I still miss you.
For some reason I was thinking he was already gone before E3 last year. Listening to that stuff with it in mind that it's their first E3 without him is a real bummer.
Ryan died on my birthday which is coming around again soon. My 18th birthday as well. Needless to say I will never fucking forget it. Still sad as fuck nearly a year later.
So July 3rd is rapidly approaching. And a dumb idea just popped in my head. What if every year on July 3rd to commemorate Ryan's passing we do something dumb that he would have loved namely flushing a pie. I think think its exactly the kind of memorial Ryan would want. Not being serious and down but laughing our asses off at flushing a pie.
It's almost the one year anniversary and I thought I should post this since this is one of the only songs I hear that I think about you. Miss you man.
So I haven't gotten super into the GB forums yet, despite following the site for many years... It'll happen eventually, its just one of nthose things I feel I need to invest time in. Ever since Ryan died, it's been extra hard because every time I click the Forums link at the top of the page, I come to this thread.
Just wanted to post that I'm thinking about Ryan today. And also that Rorie's words always strike me as so perfect every time I frequent this thread. Its like the perfect words to describe that man's unbelievable character and acknowledging his love of fun at the same time. Perfect balance. Makes me feel warm and sad every time, which is how I think I should feel.
