Heard the news that Ryan Davis, the former Gamespot editor and Giant Bomb co-founder, died over the weekend.
He had recently gotten married and probably was still on his honeymoon at the time. He was 34.
Every video game website out there probably wishes me to show sympathy for his widow and to mourn his death on their news story about him.
I can't.
I felt the guy was a joke as a video game journalist. Nor did I think he was funny. He was just another obnoxious, untalented and morbidly obese man who jerked off to the Microsoft brand. He was the epitome of the so-called video game journalism that makes my hobby come off as a huge joke.
One time on Twitter (when I was experimenting with it), I asked him how he had more followers than FOX and NFL Network analyst Charles Davis and he claimed he had more talent than Charles and added that I was "a nasty piece of shit". Of course, he's not the first rude "video game journalist" I encountered online.
While everybody else who loves to eat/drink/sleep video games masturbates figuratively about how great Ryan Davis was and how he was this great human being, I won't. Seeing all these people weeping for him makes me embarrassed to be a video gamer.
Bottom line: poor journalist, unfunny, obnoxious and not the nice guy that the misguided, weak-minded and ignorant types that represent video gamers today think he was. I mourned for Matt Borne. I mourned for Ray Manzarek. I won't be mourning for Ryan Davis. He's just another human being who died today.
I don't know why so many people worshiped this guy. Just more proof of our rotting civilization and the basement dwellers of the world who will do nothing to reverse it.
He died at 34 and left behind a considerably successful media outlet, a 20 year career that earned him plenty of accolades in one of the fastest growing industries on the planet and a network of industry/personal connections large enough to fill the state of Rhode Island as his legacy. You're a 41 year-old self proclaimed "gamer" (for fuck's sake man stop calling yourself that) who is posting angry diary entries filled with opinions that no other sentient creature cares about regarding a dead person on some forgotten corner of an abandoned neighborhood of the internet.
ReplyDeleteYeah man fuck that Ryan Davis guy, what did he have on you?
Yippee, an Internet cocksucker appears.
DeleteI know you wrote that just as you wiped the e-cum from your face. The way you suck people's e-dick without a second thought online disgusts me.
You act like video game journalism matters. Enough reason to discredit your comment.
I don't really care if people read my comments or not. That a no-life piece of human dogshit like yourself found it is truly the sad part of the story.
Go back to sucking other people's e-cock.
I never said that a video game editorial site is somehow of profound importance. It is, however, a source for a lot of entertainment. That seems to be sufficient enough of a justification to talk about something according to your own criteria judging by the fact that you have several blog posts inanely yammering on about video game companies with no actual basis in any sort of worthwhile information.
ReplyDeleteHow's that fedora working out for you?

Knowing you, fart jokes and toilet humor gives you a hard-on.
DeleteThat's what I thought, but here you stand a joke that has been defecated into existence, and I'm not laughing.
DeleteWhatever. All of Ryan's fans are losers anyway. People are proud to be pathetic losers laughing at fart jokes when it is easy to be a winner nowadays.
DeleteI guess as long as you can stuff your faces full of food, buy guns and suck men off online, all is well with the world. That's the loser's mentality circa 2013.
You're trashing grieving people on the internet. I fail to see how you really set your self apart from the flock.
DeleteHe doesn't deserve to be grieved. He represented everything wrong with video game journalism, nor did he care for his own well-being.
DeleteAs a journalist, he only cared about promoting the lowest common de-nominator. He made his name as a foul-mouthed cretin who only pretended to give a damn about his fans in the social media age. You know that he, like many other pseudo-celebs, saw an opportunity to make a name for himself among the pathetic shitstains for human beings who represent video gamers.
As for his own well-being, he certainly didn't care about his health, shoving huge slabs of meat smothered in BBQ sauce and greasy fries down while getting zero exercise or seeing a doctor. It's his own doing. I'm not in perfect shape but I watch what I eat and avoid alcohol and cigarettes.
I'm sorry that I can't share the same sentiments with a bunch of men who love sucking other men off online in order to have any self-worth. I'm a Lone Wolf online. I have no need for e-friends. I can trust my flesh-and-bone friends. I'll never trust any backstabbing asswipe online.
"Every video game website out there probably wishes me to show sympathy for his widow and to mourn his death on their news story about him."
ReplyDeleteI have my doubts there's a single video game website that even knows you exist. Anyways, it's kind of creepy that you're sitting in a corner bashing some dead guy you didn't know with particularly nasty sentiments. In the grand scheme of things his death isn't of some cosmic importance, by the same token it's also a tragedy to people who were close to him. Because, you know, he was a human being. Not just some avatar on a web forum for you to get angry at.
Either way, I'm still not seeing where your false sense of superiority stems from. Your choice of diction isn't particularly stimulating or provocative, mostly just crude. You're not attractive, your writing desperately lacks any wit or bite, your choice of topics are irrelevant and mundane at best and yet you seem to see yourself as a cut above the norm. You're 41 years old, if you're really so disgusted by the younger generation being nonproductive, why are you sitting around wasting keystrokes to post on a blog that precisely one person has read so far?
At least I'm not some sycophant cocksucker like yourself, Meatler. Still have my pride and dignity, unlike you. That's one thing I'll have over everyone. Never kissed anybody's ass or took it up the ass on the Internet.
DeleteOf course you would never understand my style. You live in a dream world where you think all is right with the world.
I'm so sorry you're like this, constantly needing attention and yelling desperately for it. I'll pray for you.
ReplyDeleteNo need. I'm an atheist. Also, Mr. Davis asked for my scorn and asked for an early death. Proof is there for you to see.
DeleteYou act like I'm the only one yelling for attention. Ignorant.
no offense but you look like a fat dude in a fedora who jerks off reddit and calls people sissies. maybe you should go get a girlfriend and lift a thing instead of being a mediocre troll.also how the fuck are you gonna call people fat? look at your motherfucking picture lol.
ReplyDeletetl;dr ur a fuccboi
I never said I was handsome. At least I take better care of my health, nor do I jerk off to anything other than beautiful women.
DeleteI'm sure you've cummed into your briefs over people like Ryan Davis and many other men.
Sorry, not a troll. If your pathetic excuse of a hero wasn't a rude cretin to me, I wouldn't be ripping his legend.
>Being this homophobic
Delete>Constantly accusing others of being gay and blowing people
>Being a psuedo-intellectual
So when are you gonna come out of the closet?
I have no desire to suck on fecal-laced penises, nor take it up the ass.
DeleteHomophobia is a liberal invention. The only people who accuse me of it are other people embarrassed to admit that they like or dream of taking it up the ass. I'm sure you love getting frisky with men, P. Brady, but hate yourself in the morning for being a sexual deviant.
You're ignorant to the fact that many homosexuals are heterophobes? Typical, since you paint them as the good guys. I suppose you even believe a gay lifestyle is safer than a hetero one, too?
Have you ever pooped your butt?
DeleteHappy Dork Day, P Brady. Thanks for coming out of the closet.
DeleteJesus Christ you're pathetic. What a loser. Get a life, man. You mention being 41 like that gives you some cred, but it just makes you seem like more of a massive failure.
ReplyDeleteIf anybody is a loser, it's you because you jerk off to Ryan Davis and other "video game journalists". I have a life. People like you who spend 18 hours a day online are the ones who are delusional enough to think that an e-friend counts as a real friend.
DeleteGo back to sucking people off, Matthew.
Ryan's legacy to you was owning the hell out of you on Twitter. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't asking to be insulted. I just wanted to ask him how he had more followers than FOX analyst Charles Davis and he was rude.
DeleteI hardly consider that an owning. He was an immature and disgusting man who had like-minded people unzipping their pants to him. Just took advantage of a rotting society of human shitstains who will jerk off to anybody to feel better about themselves.
Just like you, Justin.
To be fair, you do seem like a nasty piece of shit, so I guess props to Ryan for the prescient size up.
ReplyDeleteIf this is a troll, it's really unfunny -- not due to content, mind you, but mostly your lacking any gift for humorous writing.
I'm not trolling. If the fatshit answered respectably, there would be no blog ripping him apart, even if he jerked off to Microsoft constantly. Of course, acting professionally was foreign to the tub of shit and 90% of his fanbase of dorks who could never get enough of him.
DeleteI'm not trying to be funny. I'm being dead serious how angry I was at his "response" and how ecstatic that he's worm food now and seeing his band of human shitstains crying and weeping for him even though he didn't give two shits about them. Being a celebrity was his goal and he was on his way to it. You actually think any celebrity cares for a nobody like you, AJ Lynn? Then again, if he called you "a nasty piece of shit", you'd probably get an erection and ask him to insult you some more.
The couple of times I met him, he was a really cool dude, so I guess congrats on having Ryan burn you so epically on twitter that you've remained spiteful all this time -- seriously, your whole blog post is incredibly embarrassing, and considering that Ryan left Gamespot over friendship and principle to follow Jeff into the unknown, your assertion that he was chasing celebrity shows that you knew little of the man and are just lashing out because he bruised your fragile ego.
DeleteAlso, your weird obsession with homoerotic ideation is incredibly telling.
Spoken like somebody embarrassed by his homosexuality. I have no desire to suck a fecal-laced penis like you do.
DeleteNo surprise only liberals are commenting on this. Liberalism is a disgusting mindset made up of lazy people who refuse to work hard and lie about caring for the rights of minorities. They want everything to be made easy for them so they can have more time to stuff food down their fat faces and use their PC 18 hours a day.
He had no choice but to leave Gamespot. Everybody else was. He became a big celebrity with the explosion of social media.
Haha, alright dude. Keep being a hateful little narcissist with a creepy fixation on homosexual blowjobs. Also, not really sure where the weird political tangent came from, or why you're assuming that I'm a liberal or a man based on nothing, but that's hilariously crazy too. As an aside, have you ever been diagnosed with a personality disorder or asperger's?
DeleteAnd Ryan quit by choice, opine all you like, but that was just you making things up.
You're still a liberal. I can tell by how angry you are over some "video game journalism" dying or how that mindset has led you to a life of 18 hour a day Internet sessions and obesity.
DeleteA conservative wouldn't care about Ryan Davis. He had no fans of that nature.
You're a psychologist's dream. You're visibly fat and spend a lot of time on the internet, what transparent self-loathing.
DeleteI'm loving this; keep talking.
Sounds like you're describing yourself.
DeleteI like the part where you bitch about gamers having no lives while you're an ugly sad sack of shit who at the age of 41, makes a blog where he just can't stop bitching about a website that's an off-shoot of 1-up or something? Why don't you write some more about sucking dick? You seem pretty great at that.
ReplyDeleteAge is just a number. I'm still 21. Nobody acts their age any more.
DeleteIt's a terrible message board that only treats you well if you go down on people. Ask the many people who aren't there any more. I was playing nice and it wasn't enough for the shitballs there.
Yeah, maybe I'll write a fan fic about the secret homosexual relationship between Ricky and Drew.
Haha holy shit,

I'm warning you all. Stop or I'll call the authorities on you. I'm serious. You are harassing me.
"The bottom line is that you have no lives and want to insult people in order to feel better about yourselves. "
The irony, it is killing me.
Hey, it's Xavi. How's my favorite obese enchilada eating Mexican migrant worker who smells like a wet fart doing?
DeleteHey, I changed my mind. I prefer insulting fatshits like yourself who refuse to talk it out. Your little micropenis that you have trouble inserting into your cousin gets hard arguing with people; that's why you would rather fight than talk things over.
I learned in 2010 that fighting is better than talking it over. I like insulting obese fucks like you, Xavi. I may be a little heavy but I'm 5'8 190, not 5'4 300 like you. And I don't dance with men and take pictures of myself doing so, either.
I've got something planned with your pictures, Xavi.
