    Hard to believe it's been 5 years. Time sure flies.

    Definitely still miss Ryan but I think he'd be proud of what the site has been able to do in his absence

    I really can’t believe it’s been 5 years. I’ve been watching old GB clips with him and I still miss his laugh and his presence to this day! Certainly enjoy the current state of GB without question, but there are days where I wonder what if Ryan was still with us and how he’d interact with Dan and Abby. He and Ben have been around each other when Ben was an intern. We still miss you Ryan!

    I don't feel like I miss Ryan's presence actively when I visit the site, but I have definitely noticed myself not watching any videos that he's in that often anymore. It could be that I've just watched those videos a million times already, especially when I was unemployed and still relatively new to the site, but it could also be that something in me doesn't want to risk me getting bummed over remembering once again, that he's been gone for a long time by now.

    But I'll probably give some of the classic QLs a whirl again eventually. Those are too good to be abandoned forever.

    @glots: The Hotline Miami quick look is one of my personal favorites.

    Ryan’s road to glee is amazing in that video.

    I decided to re-listen to the 07-09-2013 Bombcast today to commemorate our good pal, Mr. Ryan Davis. Currently at work trying to not bawl my eyes out listening to these great stories again. Miss you buddy...

    With GB Infinite launching, Ryan's been pretty consistently featured on this site again and it kind of makes me happy.

    It just goes to show that their body of work will leave a legacy.

    Wow it's been 5 years, hasn't it. I still think of Ryan frequently, and thankfully, with Giant Bomb Infinite, he has become much more prevalent again on the site and now newer folks can be shown just how amazing he was.

    This is a weird anecdote, but I will never forget being on vacation and a little drunk and seeing this headline on the page when it happened and stupidly, drunkenly assuming it was this dumb joke about Ryan officially getting married. It made for a very soul crushing and admittedly tear filled morning.

    Really strange to think that it's been five years already. I can still remember reading this for the first time like it was yesterday, and all the sorrow that came with it. His passing was hard, and it took a while to move past it. But I'm forever grateful I got to be entertained by Ryan for so many years, and seeing old videos of him on Giant Bomb Infinite and on the site makes it feel like he's still here in a way, and its always great to be reminded of how amazing he was. Ryan has had a significant impact on my life, and I can still feel it to this day.

    Thank you, Ryan. Miss you.

    I've been listening to a lot of old Bombcasts lately - not the first time - and it's been a nice way to remember him. He was an incredibly charming host and such a funny guy, and while I still miss him, it helps that there are years of amazing podcasts and videos he's in. Ryan Davis is a dude I won't forget as long as I live.

    There's a lot I wish Ryan had seen. It's an incredibly selfish want. What would he think of so much that's happened; what's been happening in America, can you believe they're making another Shenmue, Kanye West!, and a million other things that have occurred since. I don't know if Ryan would have made any of this stuff make more sense, but I know we'd all be better off if he was here to go through it with us.

    I'd like to count Ryan as one of the "Top Men" since he did his own part of the site called TANG. Also when he started laughing you knew the proper order of things would be going sideways. All the best for you Duder, Hannanimal and those who knew you.

    Of "people I never knew personally, never even met, but whose death hit me so hard it left me profoundly shaken and brought me to tears" Ryan is still top of that list. I miss that dude so much.

    Thanks for all the memories, Ryan. In some parallel universe he's doing Quick Looks with Jeff and Vinny. Driving in to work with Jeff and drinking dumb energy drinks.

    I miss him so much. I wish we still had him. What a great guy.

    July 3rd falls on a motherfuckin' Tuesday this year, as it should every year. Just finished my annual Hotline Miami knife only run, been doing it in honor of Ryan ever since I got the news back in 2013. I look forward to it every year, as well as rewatching that quick look. At my job I have a lot of time to listen to podcasts, so I started from the beginning at the Arrow Pointing Down podcast and have been slowly making my way through it. I'm up to the 2012 bombcasts now, so Ryan's infectious laughter and wry wit continue to be a part of my life.

    Love and miss ya big man, always will.

    Long live The King of the Driveway.
