Well this is a headline I knew I would see someday soon but never wanted to. TB was someone I watched everyday, all the way back from 2010. I can actually remember certain parts of certain years and put them with certain video series. Like the WoW intro zone videos belonging to when I first moved into a new place, and the Tribes videos belonging to healing from a very bad relationship. Binging mailbox videos while eating after getting home from a bad day, etc.
It may all sound silly but I don't care, it helped, I loved it. He inspired me to do what I do now, and I enjoyed having that as a big part of my life. Probably the closest I've ever felt to calling someone a friend without ever meeting them. Maybe it's just the bipolar depression talking and giving more meaning to things that seem smaller to others but it meant a lot to me for helping me make it through some real shit times, so thanks TB for creating and for inspiring me to become a creator too. You will be missed.
Even game developers have lost. TotalBiscuit helped a lot in giving games good exposure like path of exile or shadow warrior
Warframe as well.
They cancelled their prime-time stream live to pay respects to him for all of his contributions of the game. They were choking back tears, It was difficult to watch.
EMS student, edema (fluid buildup) can be a very bad sign. It's not always a sign of impending death (Not to mention MANY things can cause edema, some life threatening, other's not so much.)
A good example is Lymphedema which actually isn't usually caused by cancer, but by radiation treatment.
Another example is Peripheral edema which manifests in the limbs. (Often the legs and feet) This can be caused by Congestive Heart Failure. (Which sounds life threatening but is more of a chronic condition)
Heart Failure is when the heart fails to pump properly. (Don't get it mixed up with cardiac arrest, where the heart stops. The heart still pumps but blood isn't being circulated as well as it should.)
Congestive Heart Failure is when the heart fails to pump out properly, causing blood to back up. This can result in elevated pressure to the point fluids leaks through the vessels into the lungs, called pulmonary edema. This type of edema is life threatening because fluid buildup in the lungs can cause oxygen to not be absorbed properly, which can lead to all kinds of systemic problems.
youre right, hes a failed weird twitter account, 19k tweets and 54 followers lmao

What a terrible way to go, so soon after his self-imposed retirement as well. Hope his wife and son will be able to hold together
He has left a void that will be difficult to fill.
He rests peacefully now.
To end this before this goes on a tangent,
twitter shows shit from people you don't even follow and so some people just flat out block people they don't want to see on their timelines instead of muting because that's how most people traditionally do that kind of stuff.
That's what I do and I'm sure many others do as well.
That really sucks, I'll miss his WTF videos and his voice.
Fuck, man. I thought (or at least, hoped) he had more time left. I used to watch all his videos and listen to all the podcast episodes... fuck cancer.
We all knew this was gonna happen soon, and yet it still feels like a stab to the heart
I'll never forget the first videos I watched of him. It showed me that there are people out there who truly care about the gaming industry. His impact on the gaming industry as a whole will never be forgotten, rest in peace John.
Please stop
Been watching and listening since the old Wow Radio days. He always gave his all. Gonna miss him.
He fought and kept doing what he loved to the bitter fuckin end. RIP.
What gets to me is that the most iconic part of him was his booming, passionate voice, which was slowly riddled down and reduced to almost nothing near the end. It's truly heart breaking to see people slowly break down bit by bit like this and the only relief from this is that he's no longer suffering.
I know hes said some stupid things in the past but he was a good guy overall and its a shame he's no longer here. Rest in peace my man.
...
Can barely believe this myself. Fuck cancer is all I can really say to this sad news.
There is something important to take away from all of this I think. He was only 34 when he passed away, and during his short time on earth he has contributed so much to the gaming industry and has influenced and helped so many different people. TB is who we should all strive to be. He should be seen as an example of what one man can do in such a limited amount of time. Despite controversy and sickness he persevered until the very end to be the best possible person he could become.
I think I'm gonna try to do more now with my time now. I'm gonna go try and help folks as best as I can, because TB inspired me to be better. He fought against his limitations until the end, and I am going to try to do the same.
Fuck me. I have such immense respect for this man. Rest In Peace.
I've been following it with sadness, thinking back on all of his content and impact that I loved and appreciated. I've had a personal experience with cancer myself, and my sentiment/feeling is still the same here: I was prepared, but I'd never be ready to hear it.
RIP, John Bain. You've done good for the world, the world appreciates you for it, and I'm glad that you knew both of those things.
I just don't understand how I can know something is coming for so long and it still feels so fucking sudden.
I raised a glass today for the good old boy.
I felt a sort of contentment knowing that somewhere out in the world there was a john, jenna their kid and a little dog. This isn't as it should be, fuck cancer.
To totalbiscuit.
Surprised he went on for this long, a true British man, stubborn bastard that didn't let Cancer stop him from doing shit he loved, he will be missed.
At least he's no longer suffering
It's a strange unsettling feeling knowing I'll never see a new video from him.
His subs(including me) are just chatting away in his stream chat. It's not particularly active but the number of subscribers flowing through every few minutes is really really high.
Aww man, i'm tearing up something fierce now. Goddamnit.
