It's strange to think whether I'd be into video games if it wasn't for Ryan Davis. Though he wasn't my favorite personality of the podcasts I listened to(Giantbomb, and The Hotspot), I couldn't imagine Ryan not being there.
I basically grew up listening to Ryan from around the age of 11, when I was too broke to buy video games on a regular basis. But listening to Ryan or any of the other Hotspoters talk about videogames and random tangents filled my weeks with joy. That continued even as I grew, stuck in horrible jobs where I was stuck in nightshifts that seemed to drag on into eternity. But each tuesday became Giantbomb day. The night that wouldn't die just seemed to slip away into the night. Since then time has continued slipping, with the same week routine: waiting for Giantbomb day until today.
Reading that Ryan Davis had passed away was a shock, even 6 day after the tragic event. Though I am not a religious man, I wish him luck where ever he is, and condolences to his wife who has to carry this unfair burden only a week into their marriage, and I also wish the best to his co-workers at the Giantbomb and anyone who has had the pleasure of getting to know him; whether it be meeting him face to face or listening to him each week with his crazy antics like me.
Thank you Ryan.
Danish from eXputer: "DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 could resolve some unanswered questions and offer more sought-after content for what is otherwise one of the greatest RPGs in recent memory."
See this is what damn near killed gaming in the first place, DLC! I respect a good game that’s already heavily content driven. Whatever happened to having a good game, playing it from start to finish, and then enjoying it for what it was and waiting for a sequel with a whole new outlook? I hate the fact that there are people out there willing to get nickeled and dimed by developers then complain about how we get pelted with unnecessary dlc.
I feel more devs need to do what they are doing. Tbh, I couldn’t care less if dlc was gone completely. I could go as far as saying dlc ruins game preservation as well. Not going to go too deep into that but basically Baldur’s Gate devs gets my thumb of approval.
Farbridge's upcoming VR RTS Homeworld: Vast Reaches will be available for Meta Quest headsets from 2nd May 2024.
You'll know of EGX. You'll know of MCM Comic Con. Today the two events have confirmed that they'll be coming together under one roof
Nicely Said Theo, I liked to listen to what he had to say as well... Him and Brad are my favourite. From Game Spot days and GB.
I was surprise how his death hit me. But he was always so damn cool on those Quick Looks you couldn't help but love the guy. And to hear he had recently gotten married, condolences to her as she tries to deal with all of this.
