Gaming critic John "TotalBiscuit" Bain has passed away.
At the start of May, Bain provided an extensive statement to the /r/cynicalbritofficial community on Reddit, where he provided a final update on his health.
This is really sad news indeed. While I may not have agreed with TB on all his points, I always respected him for what he did for the gaming community in general. He was a titan in the industry and will surely be missed by everyone.
The man sometimes annoyed me but i can honestly say that i always respected what he said and did for gaming in general. He said what he wanted and meant what he said and that I’ll always admire him for.
Thought it would be appropriate to paste a story his wife shared on Twitter in response to a supportive message from the Fortnite account:
Do you know what’s strange but kind of lovely? During the hepatic coma he was slipping into several hours before passing, TB was still reviewing and talking about @FortniteGame in his sleep.
That is what I loved about the man even if you don’t agree with him he made great high quality content. I will miss the shoutcrafts he dit some of the funnest matches I have ever seen.
He also saved me a ton of money for games I had on my wishlist and after watching WTF and seeing if I might like or not like it.
Same here, but mostly because I don’t watch that many videos. But whenever I wanted to find out about a specific game, i’d generally trust what he would have to say.
