Never met the guy, but his game reviews were great.

I remember thinking, "Cool, he's an adult with high standards, pushing for this stuff to be made for other adults with high standards."

Some samples of his online videos:

* Should you preorder videogames? - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf5Uj4XIT1Y

* Youtube's growing problem with video quality and how it affects gaming. - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJQX0tZsZo4

* Net Neutrality explained and why it matters. - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K88BU3kjZ-c

* Azeroth Daily 24/05/11 - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndcysuEIqus

* TotalBiscuit talks about living with stage-4 cancer - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozb2r7c0hxA


Thanks for this. The discussion about living with stage-4 cancer was especially compelling.


Really sad to read this. TB was (and still is) a huge inspiration for many of us. I have been following him for atleast 5 years and he has teached me lots of things about gaming and the gaming industry. This is a loss for everyone; his influence cannot be understated!


Really sad news. He was an awesome and very talented guy. He was always one of the pillars of game reviews for me and my friends.


I never thought I would be this sad.


wow, really sad, always hoped I'd get to see him and the yogscast replay magicka like they did 7 years ago.. rip.


I can't believe. So sad =( RIP


Too soon, man. Too soon. RIP.
