So is it rude to ask what he died of? Didn't seem like he was long term ill (unless he hid it well) as is usually the case with the "passed away quietly at home" line and he was still relatively young.

So sad :[

:(

Rest in peace.

Damn....... My condolences. You brought me one of my favourite Giantbomb moments.

The Giant Bomb flag flies at half mast on this day. Goodnight, sweet prince.

RIP Duder.

Ridiculous. Rest in Peace good man.

Depressing.

His songs brought joy to many people.

R.I.P. good sir.

WHAT?!

A proper pity. "Found Me the Bomb" is more precious than ever.

Damn, that sucks.

R.I.P Garcia

Does that mean that "Found Me The Bomb" was the last song they did together?

They seemed like a couple of really nice guys, my thoughts go out to his surviving friend. It can't be easy losing a friend you have known for fifty years.

I would have been pretty disappointed if Ryan didn't write this article. It's really too bad.

He seemed fine on the BLLS too.

Wow RIP... This is really sad news

Sad to hear.

Thoughts with his friends and family.

=[ R.I.P

Very sad news indeed. Rest in peace sweet prince.

Ryan you are a little rough around the edges but deep down you are one classy dude.

Requiescat in pace-man. So many bizarre Pac-Man tie-ins were shoveled onto the market during its heyday. It's pleasing that I can celebrate their careers by 5-starring Fever on expert. Sometimes the best things aren't left forgotten.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in peace.

R.I.P.

So... which ghost killed him?

You know what? I'm pretty sure Gary would've laughed his ass off at that.

The fact that "Found Me the Bomb" appears to be their final song is pretty crazy.

He may have run out of lives but he will live on in the hearts and minds of many of us, Rest in Peace.

Sad day in gaming, he will be missed.

That's... I don't even have words. I didn't consider them immortal, but I didn't think I'd ever see the day when one of them passed. I only gained proper appreciation for the work they did this year, and "Found Me the Bomb" was awesome, and the video of Ryan listening the first time was hysterical. I don't know why I feel so deeply affected by this, but damn. I'm sad and sorry about this. My condolences to... well, to everyone.

Today is a sad day :(

Rest in peace, Gary... I know his family and friends probably won't read this, but I hope they know that many people are grieving for his loss, but celebrating all of the great work and positive energy he put into everything he did.

RIP :(

Thanks for the link Ryan. Fever forever.

Damn, dude...

R.I.P. a man who I did not appreciate until this year. Condolences to those who knew him.

I was shocked when I heard this news, sad times.

RIP

Definitely sad news, but I am SO glad that his last contribution to the community was Found Me the Bomb.

Cured pac-man fever and then left us on this earth. Damn...this news literally shocked me. R.I.P. Your piece of pop culture will never EVER fade duder!!!

That was in really bad taste, duder.

As it should be coming from me. Humor doesn't translate well on the internet.

But if I must be serious, he's one of us and for his last work to be associated with Giant Bomb is awesome and sad at the same time. He'll be missed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Man, that's really sad :(

RIP Gary, :(

Man, that sucks. He seemed like a fantastic guy on that one TNT this year.

Wow, this was sudden. I felt their career resurging due to their presence on Rock Band Network and their affiliation with GB here. I was looking forward to seeing them debut that iOS game, too. Rest in peace, play all the Pac-Man you'd like up there.

Sad news. Best wishes go out to his family.

RIP Gary.
Thanks Ryan.

Rest in peace, duder. :(
