So, what to say? I know damn well no words suffice.
For a few years now, Giantbomb has been (and will, of course, remain) my go-to place for anything game related.
When I first heard about the site I was in a place in life where I thought my gaming days were over. I just was´nt playing anymore. Felt bored with it.
Giantbomb changed that.
The love and passionate commitment you guys show for games turned out to be very contagious.
I rediscovered my own love for games thanks to you. And find myself checking in multiple times every single day, to see if any new awesomeness has been posted. In fact, just the other day I realized I was getting kinda emotionally attached to the guys I see and hear every day. Which is........creepy, I know.
I, along with many others, felt kinda sad about Patrick moving. So this...this truly broke my heart! Without a doubt one of the most unbelieveably cruel examples of irony ever. Had to double check to see if this was even true. Unfortunately it seems to be. Fuck man, he was the same age as I.
This is an embarrasingly long post, I know. But I guess what I´m trying to say is that all of you guys at GB are a constant inspiration, and a reminder of just why Games are so much fun.
Giantbomb will never be the same again, (Ryan Davis drinking mysterious breast milk at PAX East, among a shitload of other things....need I say more?) but will always be the best.
Ryan Davis was an incredibly influential person, proven by the fact that I am sitting here in Sweden at 4:40 Am sobbing, and trying to find something to say about a man I´ve never even come close to meeting.
So, my deepest, most sincere condolences to all of Ryans friends and family.
And of course; Thank you Ryan!
Game over man...game over
