So yeah, in a phrase, this shit is fucked. I heard the news on my main message board as the first thing to see after being offline due to all kinds of crazy shit going on, and I honestly couldn't believe it. And I still kind of can't, like its some kind of joke that's going to come around and be exposed as untrue. It made me cry, straight up. And I still want to cry when I think about it. The Bombcast and the GB crew have been a constant in my life ever since I was introduced to them, and have carried me through good times and bad, especially recent bad times which this news has just compounded. I want to offer my deepest condolences to everyone affected by this, his wife, his family, the GB crew, his friends, the fans, everyone. Ryan was a good duder and made my life better through his hard work and talent. Its funny, I'd get frustrated with him during Quick Looks sometimes because you know, that's how it goes. And now its fucked up that that's never gonna happen again. Some people get upset when movie stars of musicians die, but this is what has made me upset. Like so many others have said this is like losing someone close to me, even though I've never met the man. I don't even know what else to say, its kind of overwhelming and just really upsetting. It was kind of cool that the site was knocked out for so long earlier, its cool to see so much of an outpouring of support that the entire site buckles under the strain.
Here's to the fortitude of the people who are even more deeply affected by this than just fans, I hope you all come out of it okay. Rest in peace Ryan, you will be remembered and missed.
