TotalBiscuit dies at the age of 33

I started following his videos basically when he started and was covering WOW Cataclysm Beta, I left WOW short while before he stopped covering it and switched to gaming critique and big focus on indies and he was basically YT I followed the longest - since 2010.

The worst part is that the recipient has said multiple times that they've squared everything, TB has also apologized for it and people are still acting like fuckwits. Shame to them. No anger, just disappointment.

Remeber hearing about this several years ago but i can't find that the guy actually said to piss TB off?

so he told someone to get cancer and die, and he in fact was the one that got cancer and now has died... some where in there is irony of the highest levels..

If it helps anything - I cried as well, heck, even crying right now. It's easy to mock 'oh, how can you cry over a celebrity' - but if you closely follow someone, this person in some way becomes part of your life. It may be YTber you watch a lot, like here, I probably watched 90+% of TBs content, so it';s literally days of my life that I've spent with his voice, it can be music artist you listen to a lot etc, ofc they are not the most important part of your life, like friends or family, but still you spent a chunk of your life with them, just watching them, listening to them, reading their words, so when they die, even if you didn't knew them face-to-face, you are losing someone who in some way was a prt of your life. And there is no shame in crying because of it.

one of his nicknames was Cynical Brit, I wouldn't call him a douche per se, but he surely was a massive cynic, but beside all his cynicysm he always tried his best for it to be well documented and backed by actual facts, which for me is opposite of douchiness and being douche just for the sake of it.

Apparently TB was a significant part of Warframe's success at the time when the studio was struggling financially, so this definitely hit them hard.

Still reviewing games even in a coma...Damn...

indeed - the way how open he was about it, yet at the same time didn't want to use it as any kind of bargain chip (like refused when there was proposition for setting donation or charity marathon for him) was really praiseworthy. He generally uncover the cancer thing mostly to do two things - get people to check themselves so hopefully someone can find out about cancer earlier, and to explain why videos were not showing as often as they used to, but since then he did his best to continue working as usual as he could and as long as he could (he announced his retirement only a month before he died, and even then planned to still be doing Co-Optional Podcast and co-op streams with Genna for as long as he possibly could).

not just you, I started watching him when I was still playing WoW and he was making lots of sneakpeeks from Cataclysm Beta, I quit WoW a short while before he did, but back then he also started putting a lot more of overall gaming related stuff as well as indie stuff, so with no doubt it surely influenced my approach to general gaming scene after dedicating almost 5 years of my life to a single game and ignoring almost everything else with few exceptions.

I started following him in his earlier days - 8 years ago when he started covering WoW Cataclysm Beta, as I was no-lifing all my free time in WoW back then and I sticked to his channel ever since. Gonna be really sad to never hear this wonderful british accent of his again ;(

same here, till recently when I was still playing Hearthstone I would usually launch a game, Co-optional in the background and keep playing till podcast was over (eventually minimizing game for releases section to see trailers of what was discussed).
