Turned off Firewall, manually installed Punkbuster for BF4..

Sigh, this happened for BF3. Battlelog, WHY

Saint's Row 2 was boring as fuck.

I just wanted to say that the woman doing the Damsel in Distress videos is DEAD WRONG about "pre-existing stereotypes" when comparing the guy and girl in Spelunky.

LOOK AT THE GUY. All guys are supposed to have chiseled features? Abs? Look at this..

She was on point until railing against Spelunky. There are SO many bigger, better examples. I think she makes some good points, but I think she's much more just view-baiting.

Fucking exactly. Giantbomb is my personal thing - I have shown friends videos, but it didn't click.

For me, it started when I got home from a 12 hour day and saw someone with a #Ryan Davis tag on their Dota account.

I grabbed a few beers, played a game.. and then went to Reddit (I don't check GB on Mondays - I know there's no reason to, I don't care, but it's true). I see RIP Ryan Davis. Cue literal disbelief. I read the post, and my first response is "wow, okay." I then read some comments, and very suddenly it hits me just how much of a part of my life he is. I know it's sad, but it's true; I love this site, and Ryan is one of the main reasons. I bitched a few times about him, basically about him not making content, but wow... how stupid is that? Hindsight is 20/20, but I feel like such a dick.

I hope the rest of Giant Bomb - all of the crew, and all of the members - can mourn and remember this man in a positive way. He absolutely should not be gone, but I hope more than anything that he left in the most peaceful way possible. I hope his wife can find some sort of solace in the wake of this and its timing. I hope Jeff doesn't hate all of us for coming out like this when we weren't saying shit like this when we thought Ryan would be around forever - honestly, isn't that how we felt? I hope all of Ryan's close friends can find peace with this, and I really hope they don't take offense to the strangers' feelings.

I love you all, and I love the Giant Bomb crew. I love Ryan and will honestly never forget him because of the insanely large role he played in my life - it wasn't a public part, but it was a part that made me smile, laugh, growl, groan, rage, and laugh again. It was a part that brought me up when I was down, and I'm sorry I couldn't return the favor. Ryan Davis is missed, but he will always be remembered.

My two cents are: if Ryan was still enjoying and enthusiastic about Giant Bomb, I would hope it would continue with his memory intact

If the rest of the crew and Ryan himself were feeling like it was sort of winding down, I hope they'd do what they wanted to.

I honestly just want them all to be happy. They've provided me much happiness, I can only wish the same in return.

I regret terribly all of the criticisms I leveled toward this man. I am profoundly affected by this in a way that really surprises me. I always loved his humor and his additions to anything he was involved in, and I hope he passed peacefully and without pain. He deserves a gentle passing at the very absolute least.

I like you.

For reference, that's four extra-strength No-Doz. The sleepless aid manufacturers recommend taking no more than one pill every 3-4 hours. It's up to us to save a life.

From last night's livestream, Mr. Drake states that he is on diet Coke number 20. I thought to myself, "self, that sounds like a whole fuckload of caffeine. I wonder how much caffeine that is." So self Googled it. 45mg per can times 20 is 900mg. Is that a lot? Let's find out. We'll round up to 1 gram since Mr. Drake double fisted two further diet Cokes during this stream.

A cup of drip coffee averages 140mg of caffeine. How many cups does it take to ingest a gram of caffeine? Just over seven.

Should we be concerned for the savior of Harmonix's health? Is this causing John Drake's violent outbursts as seen last night? Make your voice heard.
