Definitely. The whole point of the site was to put themselves out there as much as possible so you got a sense of their opinions in order to further inform your gaming purchases so, with the degree they made themselves available on the site and social media, I'd say only his close friends and family "know" him better. The discussion about his Pac Man machines crushing him to death and Jeff asking if his hands still work so he can play one last game with him made me laugh so hard just 10 minutes ago and I think that's their sense of humour summed up. If you are in any way into video games, you really should get onto that website and dig into their best videos and podcasts because it's a really great group of clever, funny people having the time of their life and I hope they can continue with it.

Ryan Davis of gaming site Giant Bomb. I follow them as well, and have done for a long time now, and I have the same sadness that it's happened. As you say, the event is so awful but it's especially compounded by the fact that GB is a site that you really follow for the personalities of the staff more than anything else, they're fairly open about their own lives and the 5 of them are clearly good friends. So, for the past few months, you've had the guy talking about planning his wedding (with real enthusiasm), then tweeting (along with the others) about it and how it was great and then 4 days later, the man is dead. I think it's a combination of the site being so focused on the personalities and the length of time you've been around them so it feels like you "know" them and the simple fact that he was clearly a good person, happy with his job, his life, his wife and his friends and has died far too young. It's completely normal.

The internet not letting bad jokes die, I see.

I've met plenty and they seemed to like me alright so maybe it's not them that's the problem?

Hear him there? "I'm getting excited!" Sounded like Arnie in Twins.

When you have to get one of them to come over whenever you buy drink ffs. Then the bags never work properly. Someone get me on Room 101

Fancy a cook off? Your 6 months of ruining every meal you touch vs. my actual ability to make food?

Brilliant. That sums up a lot of people's opinions about certain players in our squad.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's high praise from you considering it's a series of novels.

Ah, I like that Rhye album as well. Anyone heard James Skelly's (of The Coral) album?

him or her?

With a glass to the wall.

Was drinking Anarchy Lager last night. 7% and it's complete anarchy in my head today. Nice drop though.

It's great, man. If the weather stays nice, just leave it on in the background and lie about.

The Secret Diary of Lee Ryder (aged 44 and a half)
Ayatollah Hermione replied to Craig's topic in Newcastle Forum
Looking at him, I'd say mid-30s but if you can figure out when he started at the Chronicle, you might be able to be more accurate. -
I like to use Sporting Life as it has its own dedicated transfer page and lists the confirmed ins and outs down each side of it. SSN etc. are awful to follow on Twitter because they just throw any old shite out; at least with SL, it's presented in a nice, clean way. For instance, I had no idea Chelsea released Benayoun until I popped on there.

I'd put you through the coffee table, stare my mother right in the eyes and tell her that the game has changed, son.

Here's my current "Heard and Liked" list but, keeping in mind, I'm STILL struggling to get caught up since this year has been mental. Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of The City Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats - Mind Control Daft Punk - Random Access Memories The Knife - Shaking the Habitual Kurt Vile - Walkin on a Pretty Daze Jim James - Regions of Light and Sound Kanye West - Yeezus Justin Timberlake - 20/20 David Bowie - The Next Day William Tyler - Impossible Truth Disclosure - Settle (at least, half of it) Inc. - No World Vampire Weekend and Jim James jump out as my favourites with Yeezus growing on me with each listen. I think Disclosure runs out of steam halfway through but hopefully it clicks with me in time. My current "To-Listen" list: A$AP Rocky - Long Live A$AP Boards of Canada - Tomorrow’s Harvest Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse After Dark 2 Comp Colleen - The Weighing of The Heart Sam Amidon - Bright Sunny South Kyle Hall - Boat Party Autre Ne Veut - Anxiety Parquet Courts - Light Up Gold Villagers - Awayland Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle The Dear Hunter - Migrant Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork Hopefully I'll have rattled through them in the next week. Anything I should just avoid?

What would you do with yourself in utopia?

I'd be exactly like Prince. -
If my fatha tried to stop me doing anything at 21, other than smoking crack or something, I'd probably just laugh. And being 21, she'll definitely know more about routers than you, turn off any locks you put on and probably never trust you again. I hope you're satisfied. So, between internet friends, what's she been up to? Buying laughing gas off your credit card? Subscribing to dodgy Japanese porn sites? Has she blocked you on Twitter?
