It's still so weird that Ryan is no longer with us.

Happy birthday @patrickklepek ,but you really should know how to pronounce garrulous (gah-RULE-us). I mean I hope you were joking. It's not a highfalutin word.

@development: Thanks for the kind words. I'm planning to release a small update at some point to make Rorie & Alexis a little more obvious. Probably something involving Puppies and Andre the Giant leotards...

As for those items. The flying disks are LaserDisc's after Ryan's passion for the format, and the Shopping Carts are a homage to Keystone Kapers, the game this Tribute is based on. :)

@ehker: I believe that's Matt between Dave and Alex.

@mutenmiller: Flawless tribute, sir! Great work.

I miss Ryan, especially since it's the Winter Olympics now. :(

Yeah, Ryan was the first thing that came to mind when I was reminded about the Winter Olympics. Those Olympic video game streams he did were so much fun even though the games were questionable in quality.

Oh man, that ending crushed me. I was even able to hold it together during the tribute podcast (not easy to do), but watching Patrick's face as he played that game in silence was too much. When he finally spoke again, the tears just started rolling.

As much as I miss Ryan (and holy shit, do I ever), I often forget that the crew must be feeling it a thousand fold worse.

@mutenmiller Awesome tribute, man. The level endings are both hilarious and incredibly sweet.

@mutenmiller: Very thoughtful, and just oozes Ryan Davis in its color and design. That was a very cool thing, friend. Thanks for making it.

And Happy Birthday, Mr. Klepek.

@lackingsaint: Yeah I think that's Rorie, since he's right after Alex. @mutenmiller should have given him socks and a puppy face, but hey what's done is done.

I think I commented on this video already, but just in case I'll say again how great the tribute is. I downloaded it and played it until I died. Not sure I understood the shopping carts or flying CDs, assuming they were references to anything in particular, but really tight little game with awesome sound effects... and of course a fantastic tribute.

I've said it a couple of times already, but I'll just say thanks one more time to everyone who appreciates it. It was of course something that meant a lot to me, and I was incredibly nervous about releasing it. I'm just so glad people are enjoying it and are touched by it. You guys are all just the best. Thank you. <>

@mutenmiller: What was really heartbreaking during Mailbag Mayem was how quiet Patrick was throughout...Ryan never comes up on the podcast, which makes sense. But this reminded me of how his loss continually affects everyone at Giant Bomb. This game needed to be made, and we thank you for it.

You are absolutely right. It was so hard to watch Patrick play without saying anything, especially since the game (like Ryan) is so happy and cheery and funny. When he did speak up I went from smiling at all the stuff in there to choking up a bit.

That Ryan Davis game is cool, i'm sure he would've loved it. Who is the rest of the crew to the left of Patrick? Second from the left looks like Harcore Dave.

I've got (From L-R) Alexis, Dave, ???, Alex, Patrick, Drew, Brad, Vinny, Jeff. My best guess for the third guy is Rorie, but that's a weird depiction of him if it is. Maybe Rich Gallup?

I remember in film school one my teachers used to say it's harder to watch someone try not to cry than it is to watch someone cry. When you watch someone fight the urge to cry, you want to tear up for them. Turns out he was right.

That last game was beautiful and sad at the same time.

I didn't see anyone link to Jeff & Ryan playing the "original" so I'll embed it here.

Merry Scoops Day!

The other day I watched a remix of dick kicker by @hamst3r and it made me laugh because Ryan and Jeff had so much god damn fun. Then afterwards it made my heart ache.

Kudos to the game maker, I can tell he put a lot of effort into referencing GB antics over the years. Even got nods to the old whiskey office as well as newer stuff like pie into toilet.
