Still probably my favorite cast of his, when he and Day9 called the Snute v Titan match from the first NationWars | ||

The guy really made me want to do stuff within gaming, and later esports. Looking back at it, he's sort of shaped my life in the past couple of years. He taught us all to be very wary towards certain business practices and gaming companies, and he was always honest. And when he had an opinion, it was usually well informed and logical, whether you agreed with it or not; he stood for it and wouldn't bend for reasons many others have: influence, money, etc. I'm really, really glad I got to meet him last November at BlizzCon. TB has just left such a mark on the gaming industry and esports scene as a whole, and since I read that he passed when I woke up this friday morning, I haven't really stopped thinking about it. Watching his old videos is also strange. You know he's not there, but he sort of always will be. It's just so strange. We all knew it was coming sometime soon. I, and others I've spoken to just never really thought about TB actually being mortal. Rest in Peace John, Totalbiscuit, The Cynical Brit. You were a living legend then, and you're still a legend now. And I really hope heaven's in 60FPS or you're going to have your work cut out for you up there. Genna and family: My condolences to you all. This is the worst pain anyone will ever have to go through and nobody, especially you, don't deserve this. Stay strong. I know there's a GoFundMe set up but TB also mentioned that if people wanted to help, besides donating, they could also support him and his family by buying something of his, that way there's an exchange of value. He specifically mentioned his merchandise: https://represent.com/store/totalbiscuit - this is just another way of showing your support and also getting something in return that reminds you of this amazing guy  | ||

But he was still an infinitely better person by almost any metric, compared to most of the people who were vocal about hating him. Take that from someone who's been here (and in online gaming in genreal) for a very, very long time... | ||

You fucking shitclown. User was warned for this post. | ||
