    When I woke up this morning I and refreshed my usual web pages this certainly was not the news I was looking forward to. At first I thought it had to be a sick troll, it just had to be. But when I read the article on GB the needle finally stuck. And it sucks, and I feel really shitty for everyone involved. After reading all the wonderful memorials, not that the sadness went away, but the feeling of people getting together doing things really warmed my heart. But then it hit me again. Ryan will never play one of my games. Ryan and Jeff are certainly not why I got into the industry but were people I dearly respected for their knowledge and fairness to games. It is defiantly hard to explain, it is just like, reading his work and watching his work for years, I want his opinion, good or bad, because I know how experienced he is. Knowing this just puts the weight of his death back on my heart. It is just so sad, I really just can't say anymore.

    Thank you Ryan Davis for existing and pleasuring this world with you and your work. You will truly be missed, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

    Ryan was worth more than any of your future games put together.

    That's not to say that you won't make amazing games(maybe you will)... but Ryan's memory will still be worth more than anything that your mind will ever create.

    @paparoach: Was not trying to imply that anything I made worth more then him, quite the opposite.
