It&#8217;s Tuesday."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be short and simple, and tragically, sad. Today the video game industry, mainly the many contributors and journalists of the community, received the news of the passing of an important figure and a wonderful human being, his name,\u00a0Ryan Davis. He was the host, colleague, and most importantly friend of video game site,\u00a0<em>Giant Bomb<\/em>. A site in which he and Jeff Gerstmann co-founded in 2008. Ryan hosted the<em> Giant Bombcast<\/em>, the weekly podcast from <em>Giant Bomb<\/em>, which is the only podcast I\u2019ve ever listened consistently for five years now, and I\u2019ve never missed an episode since.<\/p>\n<p>I was deeply dismayed and saddened about the news of his passing because it was both sudden and unexpected. I mean, it\u2019s always unexpected when there\u2019s death, but usually we don\u2019t think about death. Anyway, I was affected by his passing because when my brother and I started <em>The Freakin\u2019 Awesome Podcast!<\/em> we imagined it to be like the <em>Giant Bombcast.<\/em> How personal and exuberant it felt. They had true camaraderie and chemistry, and it was definitely going to be hard to mimic. Until this day, our podcast can\u2019t be compared. Ryan Davis brought a distinctive lovable attitude with a jubilant affection, that was personal and indicative to the Giant Bomb crew. Without him, I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve hosted our podcast.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is dedicated to <strong>Ryan Davis<\/strong>, the<em> Summerjam Scholar<\/em> and the <em>King of the Driveway<\/em>. Thank you and you will be missed.<\/p>\n<p>Condolences to his family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I&#8217;ve never met the man, but listening to the <em>Giant Bombcast<\/em>, you wished you did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be short and simple, and tragically, sad.
