Lillith.5724 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Passed away today. I always enjoyed listening and watching his commentaries on youtube. His brash style brought many hours of entertainment and laughter! I wonder if there will be any memorial planned in game?

Despond.2174 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I used to watch a lot of his videos, sad news. I saw he was only 33 years old so I figured it was either an accident or cancer related. Such a ruthless disease and still horrible methods of treatment. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 He was a major inspiration to me to try and make something out of my own channel. May he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zengara.8301 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 He truly changed many lives. I have watched him since I was a teenager, it is a weird feeling to see someone you truly admire and have been there to guide you into the gaming life....and then suddenly gone. May he rest in peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie.1045 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Rest in peace, John Bain. You will be missed. Even if he wasn't a Guild Wars 2 player, his death has impacted every gamer. My condolences go out towards his friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, why not. But there is no reason to honor him in game as he's not part of the community and after initial hype he basically didin't care about gw2.

TheBravery.9615 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 heres a throwback video of one of his beta videos played an influence in getting me hyped for gw2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Pretty sure it was Cancer related, I remember he made a video talking about all the details a few years ago stating he didn't think he was going to be active much longer; I guess he surprised not only my self but others and him self included because I had just assumed after awhile he had beaten it since no news is good news (I guess I was wrong apparently). This man had a lot of indepth informative videos, he also helped convince me to buy GW2 while watching one of his many Beta Videos; one in particular he was running around Metrica Province stabbing Hylek and Skritt to death with a broken bottle talking about the sense of wanderlust he found with GW2 that he hadn't experienced in MMOs for a very long time.

eyelogix.1654 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Could ArenaNet possibly add a character of TB as a memory. He was kind of a big deal in the game industry imho. He made a video about this game as well before it was released, and needless to say. He did have an impact in most of the gamers lives through YouTube and Twitch.

He did have an impact in most of the gamers lives through YouTube and Twitch. I understand honouring a known member of the community or Anet dev this way, but random game journalist? I don't think it's a good idea. Stephen Hawking deserves it more and it's still questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash.2681 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It's always sad when someone dies of such a kitten disease, even more so if at such young age. My condolences to his friends and family. But an ingame memorial? I don't think that would be justified. Apparently a lot of people have never heard of this guy before (me included) since he wasn't really related to the community. I wouldn't want A.Net to add memorials for every more-or-less known gaming journalist / influencer / whatever they'll be called in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's his job as influencer. He did it for many games, it doesn't make him unique and special person within GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
