I'll be honest, I never thought I'd have someone I've only known across the internet would have me reduced to tears. but when I think back, I think I understand why.

I didn't come into GiantBomb at the very beginning, I only learned about it from a guy named BlazeHedgehog back in 2009, when GameTrailers was still fun to go to. I didn't do that much when I started, except some wiki editing, and I really got hooked in it. however, it wasn't just that. I started watching mailbags, listening to his humour whenever they was a quick look, and eventually, I got around to listening to the bombcast. I could really appreciate his humour, it was different than what I usually experienced. also, Giantbomb had become a large part of my internet life for a couple of years, so even though I really didn't think of it, I kinda saw the bomb crew as friends, who were way more informal than a traditional gaming site, which had me always feeling relaxed whenever I came to it, and Ryan is a part of the formula that just made me keep coming back for more.

Ryan, Thank you for helping to make Giant Bomb what it is, you have my respect.

RYAN WE MISS YOU!!!
