Total Biscuit RIP

Passed away today. I always enjoyed listening and watching his commentaries on youtube. His brash style brought many hours of entertainment and laughter!I wonder if there will be any memorial planned in game?

John Peter BainJuly 8, 1984 - May 24, 2018

I used to watch a lot of his videos, sad news. I saw he was only 33 years old so I figured it was either an accident or cancer related. Such a ruthless disease and still horrible methods of treatment. RIP.

Only 33 years old.

What a waste. RIP John Bain.

He was a major inspiration to me to try and make something out of my own channel. May he rest in peace.

I understand the sentiment, but he's not part of GW2 community. He's general gaming journalist/youtuber.

He truly changed many lives. I have watched him since I was a teenager, it is a weird feeling to see someone you truly admire and have been there to guide you into the gaming life....and then suddenly gone. May he rest in peace

Rest in peace, John Bain. You will be missed. Even if he wasn't a Guild Wars 2 player, his death has impacted every gamer. My condolences go out towards his friends and family.

Rip John Bain.Love him or hate him he was one of the good guys.

According to Kotaku, he died of cancer.

Actually, he played the closed beta of GW2 in early 2012 and was one of the most fun videos to watch!

Okay granted, but at the end, I think it's okay to mention his passing away here.

Rip John Bain. You will be missed.

Yeah, why not. But there is no reason to honor him in game as he's not part of the community and after initial hype he basically didin't care about gw2.

heres a throwback video of one of his beta videos

played an influence in getting me hyped for gw2

Pretty sure it was Cancer related, I remember he made a video talking about all the details a few years ago stating he didn't think he was going to be active much longer; I guess he surprised not only my self but others and him self included because I had just assumed after awhile he had beaten it since no news is good news (I guess I was wrong apparently). This man had a lot of indepth informative videos, he also helped convince me to buy GW2 while watching one of his many Beta Videos; one in particular he was running around Metrica Province stabbing Hylek and Skritt to death with a broken bottle talking about the sense of wanderlust he found with GW2 that he hadn't experienced in MMOs for a very long time.

Could ArenaNet possibly add a character of TB as a memory. He was kind of a big deal in the game industry imho.

He made a video about this game as well before it was released, and needless to say. He did have an impact in most of the gamers lives through YouTube and Twitch.

Maybe some NPC named John Bain

RIP angry man :(

I understand honouring a known member of the community or Anet dev this way, but random game journalist? I don't think it's a good idea.

Stephen Hawking deserves it more and it's still questionable.

I've never heard of this person, but my sincere condolences. Cancer is a bitch.

I didn't watch much of his stuff, but he always seemed to be an entertaining and good guy. Cancer is a fucking bitch.

I loved watching this guys stuff... had all his videos downloaded so i could watch them when deployed..

So long TB, you will be missed!!

It's always sad when someone dies of such a kitten disease, even more so if at such young age. My condolences to his friends and family.But an ingame memorial? I don't think that would be justified. Apparently a lot of people have never heard of this guy before (me included) since he wasn't really related to the community. I wouldn't want A.Net to add memorials for every more-or-less known gaming journalist / influencer / whatever they'll be called in the future

That's his job as influencer. He did it for many games, it doesn't make him unique and special person within GW2.
