Man, what an enormous fucking bummer. I can't believe how affected I am –all of us are– at someone we haven't ever met in person dies, but hell, we are. I have been deeply, deeply affected since I read this this afternoon and goddamit. I've been sad and feeling kinda weird ever since. It's so strange, people dying, and it's even stranger when their actions, their work, and themselves constitute such an essential part of your life as Ryan's hosting of stupid stuff did. I've been so moved by this I've felt kind of dumb: just the kind of things that the Giantbomb crew would find stupidly cliché in a movie or game.
I will miss you so much, Ryan, and I can't even begin to imagine how much it must hurt for people who shared a vastly larger part of their lives with you. With as little and as one-way as we knew each other, you sure left a painful hole in my life.
All condolences to you guys at the stuff, to Anna, to Ryan's family, and to all of us. This is just painful, weird, sudden, and kind of pointless.
And Ryan, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I will try to honor your memory by having the blast I've always had in GB, as I'm sure you'd have wanted. But shit. It'll never be the same, and you'll be present in every laugh, every dumb, in joke, in every pointless conversation. We'll miss you.
