FUCK RYAN DAVIS

;_;

can you imagine ryan and dan? dan was already a household name for wild shit like the blue shirt catfishing shit he did. god those two would have been something else.

@tom_omb: I feel WoW, for such an old engine, has been kept up really well too. Legion and Battle for Azeroth are pretty phenomenal looking games for the limited amount of updating they have been able to do. That kind of art style honestly ages better I feel too.

EDIT: I doubt the comment will be seen by Abby, but just on the off chance it is. Hong Kong and southeast Asia are pretty different. HK doesn't really have the heavy reliance on scooters that they do in places like Vietnam. It honestly probably is more similar to somewhere like Taiwan or Tokyo in terms of transportation. Cycling is popular in some of the new areas of Hong Kong, but central Hong Kong (like Kowloon) doesn't featured many bicycles or motorbikes. Driving is kind of popular, but it is pretty expensive to get a car.

@tom_omb: i can only imagine how you handle dan's "hypocritical" comments lmao

Some Cook, Serve, Delicious would maybe be the only thing I would have added to the stream. Not just for how much Ryan liked it, but what an impact he had on that developer. Making a Ryan Davis would have the perfect end for the stream.

Fucking great tribue, Ryan would've loved it

This was a really nice, pleasant time. Thanks guys and thanks Ryan.

Sleepy dogs!!

man...5 years.

China don't mind.

Stressed Abby is really fun

Abby's instant rise from "I've never played Money Puzzle Exchanger" to "I'm the best Money Puzzle Exchanger in the office" was fantastic to watch.

Have not seen this yet. But one of my fondest Ryan and Alex moment is that Co-Op Kirby game, just pure joy and happiness :)

thanks Vinny and Alex for doing the Ryan Davis memorial stream again

RIP RTD.

This stream has also reminded me that I need to play more Pacman CE DX+.

Fantastic stream GBE RIP Ryan

@patchcoat:It bothers me such much at this point.

i would watch the heck out of a nancy drew longplay ft abby and her speedrun strats, just sayin'

pour 1out fr Ryan

Has anyone been able to find Money Puzzle Exchanger on PS4? I thought they said in the video it was on there and Googling it there's a recent Destructoid article that says it came to PS4, XBox One and Switch recently but I cannot find it in the PSN store with either my UK or my US PSN account?

Ryan Davis you glorious bastard, miss you so much duder.

Wonderfully joyous stream and tribute. TY GBEAST.

Is that a Witcher 3 wine stopper you used to cap the bottle?

EDIT: sorry didn't wait a whole 2 minutes! yes it is

RIP to the greatest Ryan Davis.

Sleepy Dogs will never ever get old or be a bad game.

We miss ya, Ryan.

The developer/publisher screwed up something, and it's not on PS4 in NA or EU or AUS. It's only out in Asia on PS4. It's out on Switch and Xbox everywhere though. Weird, since the official Hamster twitter says it came out without specifying territories, but the website does say that it only came out in one. Bizarre.

Seems like it yeah. It's weird because other recent ACA NEOGEO titles like Samurai Shodown IV do appear in the PSN store for me. I wonder if it's a mistake or if they purposely only put it out in Asia (but that seems weird if it came to XBox/Switch everywhere?)

Kind of a bummer because I've been wanting to get this game ever since I first saw it on GB videos but it was never easily obtainable for any platform I owned so I was excited to hear it got re-released on the current consoles. Hopefully they'll sort it out at some point...

There's no love purer than Vinny's love for Sleeping Dogs.

God bless Ryan Davis.

Does anyone have a link or know the name of the video from last year they're referencing when they had a bit too much to drink?

And man, I can't believe it's been 5 years already. I miss hearing Ryan on the podcast.

Still miss Ryan. He would have been so proud of what Giant Bomb has gone on to do. Thanks guys.

@auron1014:https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/gbe-megadate-06302017/2300-12359/

Nevermind, I think I just found it

This was a wonderful stream.

Let's fight to computer, ya'll. Miss you, Ryan. <3

Really touching to see them celebrate Ryan like this. Whether it's just easier, or they're coming to accept it more as time goes on, whatever the case may be, it's great to see them look back on Ryan with positivity.

You're sorely missed, Ryan Davis. The world was a better place with you.

Ryan's reaction to the Buckner and Garcia song about Giantbomb. Timeless.

Sleeping Dogs and SR3 were pretty average open world games on console. I got both of them free and that was a fair enough price. Maybe on PC they feel better to play.

I hope Sony has Katamari remastering planned somewhere down the line, seeing how they've been doing it to a bunch of other older classics by now.

Also thanks for the stream, it 'twas a real good one.

Still one of the best moments in Giant Bomb's history. Also the best Ben's Lens ever made. There can never be a better one.

Great stream guys! Never thought we'd get to see Vinny play Sleeping Dogs again,

I still really miss Ryan.

I am sorry to report that the attempted robbery in question occurred not in Florida but in fact in Canada.

Abby is weirdly savage at MPE god damn.

Someday Vinny's unabashed, eternal love of Sleeping Dogs will save us all.

@ssully: Ryan is the closest a human being has ever been to actually being a puppy. He was a great man.

I can't get enough of anime women who do that "oh ho ho" laugh

Ryan was one of a kind. A stranger who's loss I still feel. I aspire to be as loved by my friends as that man seemed to be.

Miss you buddy. <3.

Good lord, 5 years huh? Fuck, Ryan Davis. Miss you man. This site has really grown though. You'd be proud. Still the best damn site on the internet. RIP buddy.

I would love a Katamari series with Abby called Katamari Dabbaci
