Ryan Davis passed away on July 3rd. He was 34.

Obviously we’re all stunned over here. Ryan was a good friend to all of us. It’s odd to remember that, for someone who could be so acerbic at times, and despite knowing him for almost a decade, I honestly don’t recall ever actually being mad at him. He had an unconventional type of kindness that expressed itself more strongly the longer one knew him, and despite his teasing nature, he always managed to make his close friends feel loved when his attention turned towards you.

Many of you know that Ryan was recently married. In the face of this awfulness, many of us will at least always remember him as we last saw him: outrageously, uproariously happy, looking forward to his next adventure with the biggest grin his face could hold.

The consolation we can feel from that is miniscule compared to the hole that Ryan’s absence will leave in our lives. That’s not a hole that is possible to fill; it’s just something that we’ll just have to get used to walking around with, and that will not happen for a long, long time.

    Until I see more compelling evidence, I won't admit that Matt Rorie actually exists.

    Of course he exists. He made Alpha Protocol.

    It blows my mind that Mario Kart 64 is considered the bum of the franchise, I know no other Kart

    Pretty sure Mario Kart Wii is the least-beloved one.

    Well there's also Super Circuit but that was actually really, really well liked at the time it came out. Just wasn't all that memorable and didn't age too well.

    Mario Kart 64 was great until Double Dash came out

    Double Dash is the peak of the Mario Kart franchise and they will never hit that high again

    The best installment of every series is on GameCube except for arbitrary exceptions at my discretion.

    Mario Sunshine is another one of those exceptions.
    by "every series" I really meant like 4 of them.

    Flipswitch Galaxy purple coin mode made me hate it. Well actually it made me hate the Wii and its shitty unresponsive waggle.

    I even made a comic about it.

    everyone kept raving about how good galaxy was so I went out and bought it and managed to scrape through the first hub world or whatever but gave up because it made me super motion sick and the spinny weird gravity kept messing with my platforming attempts and I'm not good at platformers anyways and the wiimote is garbage and eventually the frustration wasn't worth the minimal payoff so I never played it again



    sunshine is still good though

    OOT3D Master Quest, Dodongo's Cavern

    I step into a room
    it locks behind me
    I am faced with two Deku Scrubs
    I equip my Deku shield, am immediately bumrushed by a fire bat
    there is no exit
    I die

    #Godus Do I make the best game I can and delay it? or just remake it in MSpaint and reduce 50% of the game so backers can play it on time?

    Do I ever buy a Peter Molyneux game? Or do I keep on specifically avoiding them because he's an overrated self-important hack?

    That tweet's Molydeux, not Molyneux

  • SimBenSimBen Hodor? Hodor Hodor.Registered User regular
    Oh! Okay. Because that would've been a way jerky thing for the real Molyneux to say.
