R.I.P. TotalBiscuit

General
I just found out that John "TotalBiscuit" Bain passed away yesterday after a long battle with bowel cancer. This saddens me greatly.

I first came across TB while looking for videos on the game Magicka on Youtube, and his videos never failed to be either entertaining or informative. Through his videos I have also found other YT content creators that have made my Life, if not richer, then at least far more entertained than I would have been otherwise. Jesse Cox, Dodger, the Yogscast, the Co-Optional Podcast and so many other. The man truly influenced my Life for the better.
TB made a video back when he first was diagnosed with cancer and I died a Little bit. This was by far my absolute favorite Youtube personality, and the thought of his life being in danger sickened me. But I fully understood and sympathized when he declared that he was goin to step down from his place as a YT content creator to be able to spend as much of his remaining time with his family. Who wouldn't do the same in that position?
And today, I found out that cancer finally managed to beat him. A great light has been extinguished and the World is a Little bit less bright than it was. Mr Bain might not have been known the world over, but those that knew him loved him for providing such quality content.
In tribute to this great man, I now post the first part of my absolute favorite video series by TB, his playthrough of Magicka with the Yogscast.
And here's the rest of the series in one playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZHhwUK8aj8&list=PL645A94C4720C11E7
Rest in Peace TB. You made my world brighter.

There was a warframe dev stream when the announcement came. They had to end it early.
It was thabks to TB warframe is succesful.
And yeah. He was my number 1 youtube person. Sure i didnt agree to everythung he said but he was great atvexplaining his point of view.
I hope his family wife and kid and friends get sone time to mourn and help with sorrow
x.x
Seems as soon as his cancer came back it came back with a fucking vendetta against him. That fucking sucks, I enjoyed his content a lot. I did not agree with him much on political maters, but I still loved his content, and what really made him shine was that, unlike everyone now at days, he left his politics out of his work, so it did not matter if you agreed with him or not on that he was always about the games, and that is professionalism.
Youtube wont be the same for me. He was tied so close to other youtuber's I watch like Jesse Cox, Dodger, WowCrendor, and others. He was the one who always organized stuff like the co-optional podcast and such.
Damn... just, damn.
-.-
I... had caught up on his status last week, because co-optional wasn't up. The drainage was a relief. And he... everyone thought he would recover and get back to gaming with his wife and letting us listen in... for however many days or weeks... I was hoping we would get to keep him for the summer, at least.
We knew his cancer had metastasized a couple years ago. It was just a question of how long after that. Not if, but when.
And all the crowd of youtubers we follow... said goodbye on twitter. (Trolls too, but asshats gonna hat.)
I'm going to miss him, and all those cunts spewing bullshit online about him can fuck right off.
