Ryan Davis the founder of Giant Bomb died on July-3. It was announced today.  it really sucks.  I have been listening to the giant Bombcast pod cast for years now.  It will ne be the same as he created it and was the host.  The man was a great video game journalist.  What sucks the most is that he just got married on 6-29 I believe and passed away not even a weeks later.  I remember his last podcast he was so excited about his wedding.  Poor guy i feel bad for his family and friends and the whole Giant Bomb crew.

Can't say I'm familiar with him specifically, but I do enjoy the Giant Bomb site. RIP :(

Can't say I'm familiar with either. I'll have to check it out for sure. Regardless, that's terrible to hear. Especially since he just got married. :(

I only knew him by the journalists that I follow on Twitter retweeting some of his stuff. Odd to die so young.

I was a big fan of the Bombcast, Giant Bomb as a website, and Ryan Davis as a person. He was a very sweet good-natured person. Always jovial and inviting to others. He will be missed terribly.

his video game knowledge and history and obscure shit was better than anyone's.
