This week we join the masses in our endless love for the one, the only, Ryan Davis. Fred is joined by Trees and we discuss the career of Ryan Davis, including some off the wall discussions about Jeff Gerstmann’s looks, and the end of the console team at GameSpot that gave way to the Giant Bomb web site. After some kind farewells the boys talk about Ryan’s other passion than gaming: movies. Specifically retro games licensed from movies that they really enjoy and from there the banter takes the show off the rails.

Half-Glass Gaming: "On May 4, 2021, Giant Bomb veterans Vinny Caravella, Brad Shoemaker, and Alex Navarro announced they would be leaving the site at the end of the week. It was a heartbreaking moment to watch as the podcast was livestreamed on Twitch, and it resulted in an outpouring of support from fans and Giant Bomb alumni."
Yeah, it took a while for it to really sink in. It's definitely the end of something special.
Ryan is and will forever be missed. I still enjoyed GB up until the end, and it was seeing the different directions it would go in over the years while still staying true to that original feel that hooked me in to begin with.
I 100% agree with this. He was the best balance in the group and really brought out the laughs from everyone especially when Jeff became too cynical. Once he died it just wasn’t the same.
