crashburntoo.7431 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I just saw this myself. While I didn't view many of his videos and reviews, I can appreciate his passion for games and critiquing them. It's the same cancer that my mother and her mother died of, and it can be particularly aggressive. I hope he was able to get some measure of peace and comfort before he passed, and I hope his wife, friends and family can find some peace as they grieve their loss.

Zauriel Mooncat.4968 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Jesus... I still remember how I get to know about him through Awesomenauts, he gave the voice to Vinnie & Spike, my favorite character to use and he did such an amazing work with the voice acting, now knowing he is now gone hurts a lot. May he be at peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson.5160 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I’ve been playing Guild Wars since release and I remember stumbling onto TB’s video on Cataclysm Beta with the Worgen starting instance. I loved the video and was curious if anyone did this kinda stuff for GW, which led me right into Wooden Potatoes. A tragedy, the guy had some real talent. Rest In Peace, TB.

Vayne.8563 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Man...I used to watch him all the time. I agree he wasn't part of this community specifically but no one can say he didn't influence this community early on. Between him and Angry Joe, a lot of people started playing this game.

He did have an impact in most of the gamers lives through YouTube and Twitch. Nah, I mean, I get he’s popular, but there are lots of people who fill that bill. And he wasn’t particularly active in the GW2 franchise. Not out of disrespect, but I dont think a memorial for him would fit in gw2. I can only think of WoodenPotatoes for being legible of a memorial should he ever pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay.2735 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The videos he made about Guild Wars 2 before the betas began were a huge part of what got me hyped to play GW2. Here I am many years later still playing this awesome game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Unlike many people, I found TotalBiscuit through GW2, and not the other way around. His channel had far and away the most complete coverage of GW2 beta shows, and he seemed really enthusiastic about the game before he got tired of MMOs entirely. I've been a fan of his ever since. I followed his various crusades in the name of consumers' and creators' rights and his harsh but fair criticisms of the gaming medium. I respected the hell out of the man as an entertainer, as an advocate, as a critic, and just in general. He was someone you could count on for honest, well-thought-out opinions and hard facts. That's super rare these days, especially among journalists and games journalists in particular. TB will be missed. He no doubt had a big influence on this game's initial popularity, to the point where I'm a little surprised it took as long as it did for a thread like this to pop up. That said, I don't expect ANet to memorialize him the way they did with folks like Ravious or Oldroar. TB was never really part of our community post-beta after meeting, according to him, a "less than warm" welcome initially (which made no kitten sense to me, but the internet is the internet) and getting burned out on MMO's as a whole (which makes perfect sense). I would, however, be interested in any thoughts or comments folks at ANet might have... especially Ruby, as a fellow journalist. (I would also point out that the Tophat skin was added after he requested one in an interview, and his suggestion of "an attack that punts a gnome at the opponent" may have partially inspired certain Story steps and Activities. As far as I know, these are unconfirmed references, so... grains of salt all around.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that's a big difference from a guy who recorded **only** the game during BETA. Very sad news but he was not really apart of the GW2 Community. Cancer is kitten, may he Rest in Peace. :expressionless: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
