  1. I forget about him but always find myself bummed out when I see some sort of anniversary post for his passing. I’m glad he’s in the credits, though. It’s such a shame he isn’t here to enjoy it.

    For the people who may not know, he was a YouTube content creator in the early 2010s when PC was disregarded by most developers, TB championed ports to PC and bringing PC features like changing FoV and other improvements for users. He also gave a platform for many indie studios that were starting out like Supergiant Games (Hades). He was also a BIG W40K fan and when the original Space Marine came out he gave it glowing praise, there weren’t that many great 40k games at the time. He sadly passed away from cancer in 2018.

  3. TotalBiscuit taught us to never preorder. RIP, you glorious bastard. o7

    Man…. it’s been almost over a decade now, ain’t it?

    I was there when he was still around, though I wasn’t big on his content myself.

    His parting was felt though. RIP to a legend.

    I genuinely feel like the Games Industry was unleashed to rapidly get shittier and shittier without it’s most vigilant and professionally presenting watchdog.

    Like they waited for him to die. He had power and influence on companies, *especially* on options menus.

    Like I’m sorry James Sterling. She does good work, but sometimes you need people that suit up and lawyer up super-clean professional *to get corporations scared.* Crazy boglins isn’t going to do it.

    Suit recognizes suit.

    His podcast was great. No one has come even close ever since.

    That is genuinely awesome. Kudos to the developers for including such a legend.

  8. RIP. Many hours listening to this man try to get the gaming industry to be better.

    Literally the only pro-consumer games industry personality I’ve ever seen. He was so pro-us that game company devs tweeted hatred at him when he died. I’m never forgetting that guy.

    Never preorder. FOV slider or gtfo. 30fps unplayable.

    I’m not crying! You’re crying 😭

  11. We’ll never quite know WTF is; 40k, Space marine 2

    He would have loved this game and laughed at every one of you that preordered it. I miss him.

    That’s a lot of Russian names in one place for a western made game

  14. BorderKeeper

    He was my mentor when I was growing up. Love the guy to bits.

    I always wonder how he would feel about how gaming is today, we have had some of the best games ever made in the last few years, yet the space is filled with junk and stuff like Elden Ring, BG3 and Wukong are diamonds in the rough, microtransactions everywhere.

    No one managed to step up and fill his shoes after he was gone, true journalism, being extremely critical of bad games no matter if it lost him privileges with the developers, deep diving into little known indy games and giving a review you knew you could trust. RIP

    I still miss him, he is the person that got me from being a YouTube video viewer (as in watching some random vids) to a YouTube personality follower (being subscribed, watching someone’s new video when it came out, watching older videos etc). Made it even more sad that he passed away, because it was my first “YouTuber” I felt some sort of viewer connection too.

    Not only that I would also argue that he influenced and expanded the way I look at gaming and my gaming experiences. I really started to look and feel other things and aspects.

    Some people have tried to copy his review style, even fewer (partly) manage to do it… but nobody has ever come close. I will never forget him!

    TB was the OG pro-consumer content creator o7

    Guy was so talented. Still today no one has been able to be as good as he was

  19. I’d lay in bed at night and watch his videos, good times
