I've been listening to Ryan Davis on the Giant Bomb podcast every week for the last several years. It's often a <i>long</i> podcast, so this is literally hundreds and hundreds of hours of having this guy's voice in my head.<p>I once noticed how intimate a medium podcasting can be when one of the Giant Bomb guys visited Seattle and I was deeply offended that someone who <i>felt like a very close friend</i> came to town and didn't even bother to visit me.<p>This morning, when I got the news that he died, I felt it in a way that I haven't felt for years.
Ryan Davis was a cofounder of giantbomb.com. He died on the 3rd during his honeymoon.<p>He's been prolific in games press for a long time and will be missed by other members of the press, fans of the site, and developers of games.
