I haven't been an active community member either, but I feel like this is the only place I can go to get true support with this. Nobody else I know would understand how this loss feels. And it's tremendously encouraging to know that there are hundreds of others like myself who are feeling a little weird being so upset about the passing of someone they'd never met or spoken to. These last couple days should stand as a testament to Ryan's way of doing things. If you are real, people will have real feelings towards you.
As long as we know that the rest of the crew are all right and are getting through this the best that they can, that's what I think a lot of us need to hear this week. At least for me it is.
I'm heading out to Vegas Thursday for a bachelor party weekend. And I'm not excited to go at all. I'm doing better with it at times, but then I come back to the site or twitter and I see a picture of him as somebody's icon or something, and the sinking feeling in my stomach comes back.
I'm at work, and when I try to do some actual work, every few minutes I have to go refresh this thread and twitter, like I'm going to find anything that will change this news. And there's nothing there that changes it. And I promised myself I'm not going to cry at my desk at work. But it's really freaking hard, man.
Absolutely unbelievable. I can't even think of what to say. The thing about personality driven sites like GiantBomb is that you spend enough time watching, listening, reading, immersing yourself in the weekly routine... eventually the people involved feel like friends you've never met. Losing Ryan feels like losing a friend - which sounds ridiculous but that's the only way I can describe it.
This hurts about as much as losing a family member or a friend. Ryan was bigger than life, and to think about him being gone....I can't comprehend it right now. I can't begin to think about how you guys at Giantbomb are feeling, let alone his poor wife. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
I can't seem to find a description on how difficulty works in T2. I'm playing on Casual now, with the thought that I could then start a new game + on Normal, play through again, and then maybe do another new game + on the next difficulty. However, I'm hearing rumblings, that when you make a character, you're locked into the difficulty you create them on. Also, how does difficulty scale for multi-player? If my character is Casual, and my friend is Normal and we play a game, will it just match the difficulty of the player who creates the game?
Sorry if these are stupid questions and I'm just missing something obvious.
Sorry if this is an ignorant question. I just setup my Roku and downloaded the GB app. I was looking through the videos available and didn't see things like the GOTY Behind the Scenes, TNT from last night, or the Freedom Fighters Load Our Last Save. Are these kind of videos not supported by the Roku app, or are they too new to be available?
Just curious, and again, apologies if I'm being ignorant and not seeing them.
