He always responded to my bombcast emails even if they didn't get read on the air. Will definitely toast him tonight.

I raise my cappuccino! I can't drink at work unfortunately.

This.

And in memory of Ryan, bottoms up. Miss that man dearly.

We miss you Ryan. You're still apart of so many people's lives. Rest in peace.

Glasses raised and summer jam's jammed over here! Loved that man to bits.

Was sitting at a wedding when I heard the news, will never forget. He was a true el duderino.

@csl316: Can you tell me what panel that Ryan Davis Tribute - Standing Ovation is from? Is the whole thing online? I only see the Cards Against Humanity one out on the interwebs but this seems to be a different panel.

Thanks for everything duder! I still listen to old podcast regularly and it's still bringing me a lot of joy. I'll raise a glass today for sure.

I will raise a glass of my best whiskey when I get home from work. Same as I did one year ago today.

Raising my glass. It had to be water cause it's fasting (Ramadhan) month for me. He'll always be an inspirational person to me. I've learned how be a proper host and started my own internet podcast. I've learned a lot in life overall because of you. Thanks Ryan. Cheers to you.

Sitting here reading thinks about Ryan and can't belive its been a year already but here's to you Ryan!

Still miss you Ryan... #ThanksRyan.

Cheers good folks! Cheers Ryan.

GB has not been the same since.

This always makes me laugh a little, then cry a little, then repeat about ten times.

We miss you Ryan!

July 3 will always be Tuesday to me. Hey everybody.

Ryan is still a big part of my life, I watch and listen to the videos and podcasts he's in daily and I'm not letting him rest because of it. This is what you've wrought, Ryan!

I can still remember the horrible sensation coursing through my entire body when I heard the news last year, It was the worst because I initially thought it was a joke until I scrolled down my twitter feed a little further. Still in complete denial hours after the fact, I think we were all desperate for a tasteless hoax...

Still miss you Ryan. Thanks for everything.

Man, I can't believe its been a year already. I love the QL's Alex and Vinny put up today. My thoughts go out to the crew today as I'm sure it won't be an easy day.

Gonna have a glass of Maker's Mark tonight with one piece a' ice. We miss you, Ryan.

herehere!

Thanks for everything, Ryan!

To Ryan...

@juiceman: One of the Pax panels from last year. A few months after, but I don't recall which one it was.

I'll break out the bourbon just for him tonight. Thanks for everything Ryan.

Wow. One year. I had lost someone close to me the day before we were told about Ryan's passing. I was a mess. I never met the man, but I greatly respected his work, talent, and sense of humor. Watching all of the old videos and mourning with everyone here helped me through a really dark time. I could always rely on Ryan Davis and the crew for that. No matter how shitty my life was going, I knew I had someplace to go where I could forget it all and smile. Even if only for a few minutes. Without having the pleasure of knowing him, he was often a part of my life. He's touched all of our hearts and will continue to be missed.

@altairre: A much better addition than Hayden Christiansen was.

I woke up this morning and turned on some of the old This Year Bombcast recaps. It's amazing how much I can still miss someone I never technically knew. It was hard to explain to the wife why I was so sad a year ago, I'm guessing it'll be equally as hard today.

Goddammit Ryan Davis, you are still the funniest, wherever the heck you are now. *raises huge bottle of Diet Coke*

Ryan Davis, I love you. That is all.

I don't drink but I'll sure as he'll raise a glass of diet coke in his name.

I'm not much of a drinker, but today calls for a nice Eagle Rare. The King of the Driveway and the King of the Summer Jam. That's a lot of responsibility for one man but he wielded his power well.

Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side,

The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,

It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

*raises glass

Keep kicking dicks in wherever you are Ryan!

DOGS!!!!

This is for you, big guy. Thanks for everything.

I don't think I've ever missed someone I never met so much.

Well this Eagle Rare isn't going to drink itself.

To Papa Bear. You were the best.

Thanks Ryan. Forever Tuesday.

To echo the sentiment of everyone else, I never could have expected to be so bummed out with the passing of someone I never met. I will miss Ryan's wit, and his immense joy for life, dearly - but I'm sure he would have been ecstatic to see how he is being remembered, and how the site is still growing from strength to strength. RIP, Duder.

As for the pictures, I happened to be in Edinburgh last week, and when I saw the place called Ryan's, I just had to check it out. Even more awesome was the mural they had on the side of the restaurant - the likeness of the man in the photo ain't perfect, but damn if it didn't bring a smile to my face.

One of my fondest memories in the days after Ryan's passing was seeing this tweet from TNA Wrestling superstar Samoa Joe. It just shows how large Ryan's reach was even outside the immediate circle of nerds like us that lurk on video game websites.

Raising a glass of Eagle Rare bourbon to Ryan in a toast of thanks.

Totally this.

If you are still making people smile and laugh a year after you've gone you know you left the world a little better than you found it.

Miss you man...

He's one of my heroes, saved me several times from the grasp of boredom. Rest in peace, Ryan <3

It's weird what you can feel about someone you never met. Cheers to Ryan!

He was a friend the moment I met him. You just don't get smiles that real within 5 minutes of chit-chat with anyone else. I know he's still finding the funny in absolutely every single fucking thing, wherever he is. Miss you, friend. And thanks.

It's so tough to go back and listen to those old quick looks with him in them because it just reminds me how awesome he was.

May his legacy live on forever, and I will absolutely raise a glass to him after work.

Thank you, Ryan.

Bowmore Claret is in my glass, god damn I wish it wasn't

The sting is still there and probably always will be. But definitely raising a glass in the memory of one hell of a man.

Oh hey, I found it. PAX Prime 2013.
