Wow, 2 years already? I still vividly remember being on the Eurolines bus from England to The Netherlands when I read the news of his passing. I had to fight back tears the rest of the way (also because my dad died not too long before that and this re-opened those barely healed wounds).
On a side note: can someone answer me why the Giant Bomb crew never seem to mention him anymore, nor do anything to honor him? Not even a "oh, what would Ryan have thought about this game?" sentence or some kind of Ryan Davis award during GOTY deliberations? They don't even seem to get/read emails about Ryan (nor mention that they won't read them on air). Did I miss a statement about this shortly after his passing or...?
I get that they might be doing that out of respect to his wife and parents, but for a website as theirs where 95% is about the crew's personalities and where fans really care about said personalities, it feels weird how they talk about almost everything - personal or games related - except the loss of their friend and his former tastes etc. I definitely would have liked to hear Jeff and co. reminisce about Ryan once in a while or reflect on his death now that some time has passed (or for them to bring up related topics that used to come up but now don't anymore, like what happens with someone's iTunes stuff when he dies, or what to do with a game collection after the collector's death, etc.).
Then again, maybe I'm just weird/don't get the need for keeping such things private.
