I should have started reading this blog a lot sooner. Once I'm on a computer I will be checking out the above listed stuff in detail

I can finally keep up with my followed blog list! Hey, Zombie, if you haven't already, it might be kind of useful to point out that the Options screen has reset everyone's notifications settings, so if they want to get updates from friens on GB or see their replies, they should head there.

Project X Zone is pretty amazing. I stopped playing though when I was around 20 minutes into a chapter and one of my guys died and it was an automatic fail. For as lax a "strategy" game as it is, it's surprising how there aren't any checkpoints in these long drawn out fights. I may or may not go back to it someday =\

Nice collection as per usual. =)

They didn't try, they succeeded. I guess that blog reads as a chastisement though, since Jade Empire is not an especially great game.

You monster!

@zombiepie: Oh my god, that fan fiction was amazing. Like, the level of detail he went with the references to things about the crew, and the previous fan fiction, it was all spot on. @willza92, congrats sir, that was glorious.

The Red Wedding reference was great as well.

Oh wow. klepekpower.com is hilarious. That's real funny 'Domains By Proxy, LLC'.

Well...shit.

Was that picture actually...?

@zombiepie:

Happier version of that picture:

But yeah...

@zombiepie: Yeah Zombie pie. Please replace the image on this. Use the one Equitas posted.

I now the image...isnt....but it seems too close to what is. I dont want to think of Ryan like that.

I vote that the next Community Spotlight is a special edition compilation of Ryan's best moments on the internet...period. Not just Giant Bomb, but across Gamespot, his stupid websites, and every other thing possible.

The Spotlight will have its hands full with Ryan obits from the community alone. I've read over 20 of them so far; a lot of them from people who have never posted a blog before or haven't posted for months. It's amazing, but it's going to take a lot of work to find them all.

So I'll help a bit with the ones I've seen from users here (all thanks to the newly repaired notification system). ZP's probably compiling a huge Word document of links, but just in case he missed any: Slag, Danny O'Dwyer, Beforet, SparklyKiss, MetalGearSunny, bobafettjm, Mento, PsEG, JJOR64, TurboMan, FinalDasa, Aurahack, Joey Fameli, BiffMcBlumpkin, Hailinel, Dalai, EpicSteve, ShadowVirus, PollySMPS, Sweep, Jakob187, RecSpec, Dan Kempster and buzz_clik.

Personally, I hope we end up with over a hundred of the things. Duder deserves nothing less.

(ETA: Was going to add more as I spotted them, but this thread has kinda exploded since then. My minimal amount of work here is done.)

That's the plan, but there's so many that I'm going to need extra help in tracking down all the stuff that's being written. If every one could spread the word that the next Spotlight will be a memorial to Ryan that would definitely help.

What I wrote yesterday. I had a dream that Ryan was on the bombcast and that he was really here. It is hard to believe that he is gone.

My only blog.. :(

I created a Youtube playlist of F**king Ryan Davis Moments, which I'm constantly updating. Big thanks to everyone who posted in the Memorial Thread which made it a lot easier to track down these videos.

Hi guys, I wrote this: http://unamournumerique.blogspot.com/2013/07/not-even-close.html

Wrote this short blog about trying to articulate my feeling so sad about the passing of someone I ostensibly never knew: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mrplaid/blog/thanks-ryan/101950/

I wrote a blog last night of my perspective of Ryan's sudden and tragic passing

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/moth_pope/blog/my-thanks-to-ryan-davis/101880/

Google Music All Access version of THE REALEST SUMMERJAMS playlist. There are a couple instrumental stand-ins due to some small holes in Google's library but the vast majority of the playlist is there THE REALEST SUMMERJAMS

I also made a couple avatars. I'm using them for Steam but people can use them wherever: Ryan with cat ears | Persona 4 Ryan

What I wrote. I don't write much so could be a lot better I am sure.

I have followed GB for a long time, but have shied away from the community as I do with most forums, for reasons I detail somewhat in this my first blogpost. But this moment moved me enough that I had to express myself and get my thoughts out in a community that would understand.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/sickrubik/blog/be-a-ryan-davis-to-others-in-your-life/101810/

I posted this on Facebook yesterday afternoon. I only have a handful of friends who are fellow Bombardiers, but I wanted everyone to know about Ryan.

Most of you probably haven't heard of Ryan Davis or Giant Bomb. It's a video game website that posts some hilarious videos and some of the best critical commentary about the industry available. When it's a team as small as Giant Bomb, every role is enormous, and when one of those roles is removed, it's especially devastating. Ryan was only 34. He was married less than two weeks ago.

Through a time of particular uncertainty and difficulty in my life, the team at Giant Bomb provided me with a steady solace. When you spend enough time reading someone's articles, watching their commentaries and silliness, you really start to feel like you know them. I've never met anyone from Giant Bomb in person, but I count them as my friends. And today, I feel like I lost a good friend.

Thanks for the years of laughs, Ryan.

My piece about Ryan, and if it means anything at this point, my review of Dear Esther.

I wrote about how Ryan and the crew helped me get myself on the fast track to achieving my dream.
