Totalbiscuit / John Bain

John was always frank about something, he admitted he knew this was not going to be beaten by him. He was an outlier, for that he achieved much, but he lost the battle like he knew he would.

For what it is worth, he won in life because of what he managed to build, did with it, and inspired others by it. By who he was, what he stood for, and how candid he was with his successes and his own failures. Many people I watch now wouldn't be here without his influence. And all the stuff he did behind the scenes, from his beginnings as a Game employee and his time in law school,to his WoW Radio days,  to dealing with American Citizenship to be with his wife, and the many controversies he had to deal with from publishers and devs all the same. Through it all he stuck to his guns and his morals, and kept doing his thing.  And some of this was WITH his cancer diagnosis. This right here is why he is a winner to me.

And losing this caliber of person is hard, we really need more people like him...
