1) No, I do not make money from this video and I would never do it anyway considering the context. 2) TrumpSC, or just known as Trump in gaming is famous Hearthstone streamer. Video has nothing to do with Donald Trump. 3) Disrespectful people will be banned forever. I also had issues with TotalBiscuit's view on things like politics, but I respect his legacy in gaming and RU-vid. This does not give anyone a pass to comment horrible things like "he deserved cancer" in comments.
I respect total biscuit because he was a true freedom of speech supporter and you could see that when he was against censoring and helping people on RU-vid. I also love Star Craft 2 and his tournaments where the best, sometimes even better than WCS. Anyone who believes in hate speech does not understand freedom of speech.
Bacon I have had a love / annoyed relationship with TB lately, but that comment brought back all the old memories I had of watching his older stuff that I really loved. Thanks for that friend. Rip Papa Biscut.
Watching to the memorial podcast a few days ago and they were telling about how he was having micro dreams. The micro dreams where kinda like a VR-game he said, and he was in his half-unconcious state reviewing the micro-dreams and their lack of graphics. It made me cry like hell with a mix of sadness and laughter. A legend to the very end! I glad his suffering is over, but devestate that the gaming community has lost this behemoth of a figure...
he is smiling so hard with your comment in the after life, i hope he can feel the energy and appreciation we have for all he teached us and told us about his perspectives on game design and life overall
Horrible news. Totalbiscuit was an incredible guy and I used to love his content, I watched regularly from his Cataclysm beta days and grew up with him. Like so many, I was introduced to Hearthstone and Trump himself through Totalbiscuit and I'm going to miss him. Rest in peace, TB.
super sad and i wasn't even a major fan i just watched his wtf videos, it's to bad the way you hear about things on the internet because i saw R.I.P totalbiscuit and thought it was a joke about somthing, man he was a big part of the gaming community, that will feel empty without him.
The fact that LUL is the emote to represent TB is both the weirdest and best thing about his passing to see in a chat speaking in the context of his death.
I just found out. I told myself not to cry. But he helped me and reached out to me. And when I asked why he was talking to little old me he said we're all in this together. And so I'm crying.
and yet bad people want to act like he didn't do this. that he was apparently a horrible person... Thank you for mentioning this because more people need to talk about how good he was
dragozal exactly, that plus his contributions to esports and a lot of the biggest games right now (or atleast the last few years) are all to be commended in addition to the great content he put out. He truly was amazing
The Chief you are lying and you know it. He was toxic at times, but hes consistently apologized for overstepping his bounds and brought pro-consumerism journalism to the fore front with professional, great quality.
This is a video where a popular streamer is heartbroken over the loss of a friend. The comments are in respect and memory of a man who's content we enjoyed, or who was looked up to. You don't have to like him, but why call names on a video like this? Go to a video bashing him to say stuff like that.
Rest in piece old friend, may you have uncapped frames and an FOV slider wherever you are... This joke may seem in poor taste, but for anyone who knew him, it would of put a giant smile on his face :)
Måsstaden Yes and no. He was outwardly distasteful of the meme, but then when people or companies like Devolver would use it, he would grumble...and then joke back. John was at heart a goofball, but an introverted one when it came to his softer side. Those rare friends of his got to see this up close. Why do you think his best friend...is Jesse Cox, one of the goofiest people online? TB would be fine with it.
Man this was hard to watch, Trump is one of the toughest dudes emotionally and to see him break down like that really sucked. RIP TB, wherever you are I hope you're at peace now.
As a streamer he knows that anything you do live can and will be made into gifs and possibly mocked, but when a legend like this passes - this is an appropriate reaction.
NotTheSun no watching him for a couple years and seeing him barely react to anything shows he has his emotions in check. He even says in the video that he thinks of himself as a person who has a good grasp on his emotions... do you even watch Trump?
Multiple reddit threads on various gaming subs had Mods straight up saying insults of TB would be immediately banned. Goes to show how important TB was for so many people! RiP TB...
Mostly because SJW's all over twitter, including GAME DEVELOPERS AND GAME JOURNALISTS, are saying all sorts of horrible shit. It's really helping to expose them all as the garbage human beings they are, and just how cowardly they are too. Sure is brave to pick a fight with a dead man!
George Alexander Thank you. I'm sorry you can't see the whole "Oh woe is me, something bad happened, so I'm going to milk it for more viewers!" It's disgusting. Sure, it sucks that someone died. But really? You're going to cry over this guy you barely know? Because you liked his content? Give me a break. "Oh! He helped me so much!" All bullshit.
What? He found out in the first 10 seconds of the video. And went on to cry for 13 minutes. "I thought it was a troll, but TB actually died." Obviously he didn't end the stream as soon as he found out. Or we wouldn't be seeing this.
That's the sad thing though, isn't it? It's at times like this where it really puts into perspective how we should treat other people, because you never know when they'll be gone forever.
The chinese believe that at the 7th day, the departed get to come back to the world of the living as a spirit and see how are things doing. RIP TB. You did great things to the gaming industry.
I'll be honest, I never particularly cared for some of his critiques. But his WTF is series was by and far the most in-depth first impressions videos on youtube. We lost a great man. RIP
Akiraspin that's not even his biggest accomplishment or passion. He gave his life to helping esports grow to what it was today. He sacrificed money and time to put players on the map in the scene. He funded a starcraft team and had a team house for them even though everybody knew their success would be limited. Him and his wife managed and kept the team and lost money because he felt the loyalty to him and fans. Was an amazing man. RIP
And with the WTF is series, I would go into specific videos of his, knowing full well he would not like the game but it was my kind of game and I would get an accurate video on how well the game actually performs on PC. Even things that big review sites would never give low scores to because they don't want to stop sucking the dick of *insert company here* I would get accurate information on the actual PC port because these sites will almost never mention poor optimisation if its a big name game and when they do they gloss over it as if it was nothing.
I trusted him with my money and if I wanted to play an indie game I would watch the podcasts to see whats new. He introduced factorio and rimworld to me when they werent on steam yet
R.I.P. John "Total Biscuit" Bain. You will be remembered. Thank you for your service to the gaming community. Perhaps we all can find some solace in the fact he died with no regrets and doing what he loved most. May his memory live on in all of us.
Man, after 2 and half years this doesn't hit you any less. TB was the best person on this platform that should never be forgotten. I can't and will not forget the kind of man that he was. He was a major influence on my life and he will not be foragotten for as long as I live. Thank you TB for what you will go to influence for years after this. Long may he rein!
This is really hard, i literally was watching him when i found out he died, my gtandmother passed away this month too, and its just so unfortunate that great people have to leave this planet so soon, rest in peace totalbiscuit, you'll be missed
Trump is usually such a happy guy, seeing him like this is so surreal, and it goes to show that anyone can break down, and crying is in no way weak. TB was such an influence to many people, and his work had a heavy impact on the gaming scene. So many people will miss him. RIP.
one thing I will never forget is the duel trump and TB had where you were only allowed to use bearded cards. we love you tb, there is nothing wrong with tearing up about TB´s death. RIP
For those wondering why Trump just didn't end the stream. Try to put yourself in that position. A big influential figure, someone who was a HUGE factor in your life, for your drive passed away. In a such unfair fair way, and at that point realizing it wasn't "Fake". That realization is such a shock. You aren't worried about how people see you. Your emotions take over first. That shock is something that can't be emulated. What you do and act from there on out isn't in your control but with you emotions. Take note, when Trump says "He made some good stuff". You can feel the emotion and emptiness of his heart behinf it afterwards. There is a big difference of thinking of someone pass away and knowing/having who had a big impact pass away. And Trump here, like many. Is of the Knowing/Having portion. Someone passing away who had a huge influence on how they shaped their life.
He kept streaming cause the chat was with him... It was a moment to reminisce and read what the chat had to say. I really don't think this is faked... it's a raw in the moment kind of situation, I haven't seen this guy stream or anything. But if I was there streaming in that very moment, I too would be equally as awkward and unable to piece together clear concise thoughts.
Also, he had the chat with him. While subscribers aren't your friends, some of them are at the very least acquaintances. Someone to talk to and reminisce. He needed that, and I completly understand why.
To be fair I'd have taken a spell, told the viewers I was taking a short 5 minute break, let it all out on my own, and come back even with eyes red, once I had calmed down enough. Maybe it's just my way of being, I don't like anyone to see me when I break down. I don't mind them **knowing** I have, but not seeing it. I guess everyone is different in how he is in this regard. No critique here, but I feel awkward when someone with such a huge audence loses it in front of them. Not that I don't respect it(takes guts to show your emotions, after all), but I don't like it at all.
sirhenry0 - He WAS taking chemo, though, for years. It just stopped working a few weeks before his death - his body became immune to it. After all, chemo is basicly poison, and we build up immunity over time if we take amounts that don't kill us.
I feel for this guy. TB was there for alot of small youtubers/streamers. He was a positive influence and give them valuable advice without asking for something in return. TB was a strong man. Rest easy.
This was hard to watch. I never really watched TB, but after seeing the influence he had on streamers I tune in to, I realize how big of an impact his passing had, may he rest in peace.
Diekssus Hates Googleplus But about a year ago or so his liver was operated, at that point it looked like he'd survive, that the operation would cure him. Year is not that long of a time
The treatment he received stopped working, went downhill fast from that point. It's scary how many young people die from cancer. Seems like everyone get's cancer these days, but I guess it's just that the world is more connected... Easy to become a hypochondriac. When a smoker gets lung cancer that's not as scary, (might sound a bit harsh but...) they sort of had it coming. You're dumb if you smoke knowing the risks. However what TB got, that could happen to anyone. And there is nothing you can do about it. One day you're here, the next day you're dead. Well at least with cancer you get to say goodbye, unlike a heart attack that kills you on the spot.
Don’t be ashamed of your body if things seem wrong. He let fear control his actions and he didn’t get it checked out when he should have. He even had family history or colon cancer. Learn from his mistakes.
Yeah, he waited a whole year after having blood in his stool.. that's a long ass time. I would be extra scared especially if I had family history of colon cancer.
Total Biscuit was a great man,sadly he passed away,I don't think the gaming comunity will recover from his absence,just left a big hole in all of our minds and hearts,respect for the man and what he did,rest in peace TB,we will miss you.
It says a lot about the gaming community, often labelled as nothing more than racist trolls, IMMEDIATELY reacting to this man breaking down with support, offers of privacy and sharing love. We are all better than this. And TotalBiscuit was part of what was good.
No matter if you liked the man or not, knowing that he touched someone in a meaningful way shows the man had a heart and lead a life of good, in one form another. RIP TB. May your life be remembered throughout time. My condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.
We had a radio dj in England called John Peel, he was un-bought, un-playlisted, and our national curator for genuine, cool art. I see John Bain in the same way for games, and I think it will take a while for people to realise how important he was in that role. Although Steam have basically made that job impossible I hope someone picks up the torch, we need it. RIP john you will be missed.
*to his haters* Even if you disliked his videos you still shouldn't be inconsiderate. I didn't watch alot if his videos although from the ones i watched i can tell he makes some quality stuff, but i still feel his loss. R.I.P good man
His production quality was great. Even if someone does not agree with his points - he was standing for all the right things, like net neutrality, game quality and he stood up for smaaller channels, when they needed it most.
+Creative Name Yeah such a shame. I think he should be fired or at least suspended because I wouldn't want such negativity associated with my company if i had one such as bioware and also the fact that it's just plain wrong. It's fine to say you didn't like the man but to think that makes his death wanted is fucked up
I sided with him more than I didn't when it came to gaming and what not... But I do hate some people in gaming culture. Particularly the racist, sexists, and other idiots who support bad games that pressure children into spending thousands of moms credit card cash on micro transaction bullshit... I some times joke that I wish these assholes would die but I never really mean it literally. I just get carried away... A problem I need to work on. That being said... I thought he was a kool guy and he was against corporate evil that's destroying games. Losing him is a loss for people like me : (
This is awful news. I used to watch TB videos all the time. I stopped watching during his early work, and had no idea he was going through cancer and died from it. I hate that I didn't know, and I hate that I had to find out by clicking a random video. He did not deserve that, and its giving me a gut sinking feeling just thinking about this. Rest In Peace TB.
You´re a great, loving and caring man Trump. We need more people like you in the world to counter all the David Crooks. I never met TB but he still had a big impact on me with his strong opinons and his love and care for the consumer. Crying is caring.
I’m a person who usually don’t cry. But when a guy like Trump, who’s always in a silly mood, suddenly breaks down. I can’t help the tears from coming. This really touched my heart. Rest In Peace TB. And much love to you Trump.
When I first find out was on TechTalk with JayzTwoCents, then Rush over to Tb's Twitter hoping it was a joke or misunderstanding... Reality didn't really sink in until I got floated with RU-vid uploads of Tb's death, just so unreal and painful to know one of the best person on RU-vid is no longer with us. Loved his contents and view on life in general. I never met him in person but definately can add him on people that had changed my life, even now just take care of your life embarrassment for something with your body should never go unnoticed. John (TotalBiscuit) Bain will always be the a legend in my life. T_T
I am so sorry....:-( . He was one of a kind and i watched him a lot. Witier and more intelligent than most of the RU-vidrs and not only in it for the big money. A real game-lover he seemed to me. I wish his wife Genna and their son a lot of strenght.....Rest in peace John.
None of your business Twitch Chat is only decent when it matters. Which is nice compared to some... people... who are only decent when it doesn't. I much prefer the former. ...I was not aware I could feel grief over a man I never met and knew only through observation. But I did and still do. I guess chat felt something similar.
Gamers (or just internet users) loves to troll for laughs. We also love to rage when things arent going our way. But we are humans. We love this platform we are on. And when such an enormous part of that platform passes, we grieve. He was gaming/twitch/youtube. We are gaming/twitch/youtube. He dies. A part of us dies... That is why chat is respectful. We lost a part of our selves. One of our own.
Sad to see G2A still being a sponsor though. Remember when TB exposed G2A for Gearbox as being not only a mafia-like protection racket, but also screwed over small video game developers? Don't support G2A.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cac0ACHux-Q.html John you will be missed and remembered. www.gamerevolution.com/features/13995-indie-dev-asks-you-to-pirate-his-game-rather-than-buy-it-on-g2a
Forcing you to pay extra to make sure you aren't ripped off and then making it nearly impossible to unsubscribe from their protection racket "shield" is not pro-consumer. Heck there's been instances where people had to ask their bank to block G2A from charging you for your money, from people who've deleted their G2A accounts.
@Taiforce Taiforce After a life event, I fell off of watching him live. I try to catch up sometimes, but it's been three years and I only got from 193 to 198. That tribute episode that I know is coming up is gonna kill me.
I had the same reaction as him but was way more effected since he was one of the first youtubers I watched and got me into all the games I play I've been crying for 2 days straight...
This is just heartbreaking. Hearing somebody passed is one thing, but seeing the reaction of a friend made me sob. Even though I stoppped watching TB about a year ago, he helped me form many of my opinions. Rip
Not my favorite person, but he was a great critic and future video games will be worse off without him. He is the one that led me to my favorite RU-vidrs though and that's the biggest impact for me, I watch Jesse Cox and Crendor almost every day now and i would've never known of them if it weren't for TB. I've been dreading this day ever since I heard the news about his disease and I was so proud of how hard he fought and how long he made it. Rest in peace you lovely, yet cynical Brit
I play TB's Santa Baby video every Christmas and I shall continue to do so in his memory, a great man indeed, and a lovely singing voice he had. He will be missed.
loved totalbiscuit from the early days of starcraft. Was captured by his sense of humour and honesty ever since. TotalBiscuit was unique, he will be sadly missed. RIP.
What hurts is how you can see Trump going through many phases. He tried to play it off as a joke (likely he was hoping it was) He paused to process it He reminisced about TB Then he acknowledged his accomplishments and influence Then he accepted and broke down
I think there is something truly incredible about his passing, to be honest. It's the amount of people who have come together to wish him peace and admit just what a huge influence he was. I've seen no less than four channels admit that they were inspired to do RU-vid and gaming because of him and fucking Keemstar of all people just released a little phone video apologizing for being a douche, wishing TB respect and peace and saying he regretted never having the courage to say he was sorry when Biscuit was alive. There's an incredible outpouring of love for the guy from all over the internet, even from people who hated him. Kind of amazing, really.
Yeah I also found out about Trump from TB when TB went up against Trump's Murloc deck back during Hearthstone's beta I think. It's not helping now that I'm seeing a lot of videos of TB (both gaming related and non gaming related) in my recommended and it's just making me feel sad (seeing him critiquing games, vlogs of him messing around laughing and knowing that he's now no longer with us).
Tbh, I never was a fan of TB contents nor did I know that he had cancer until today, but what I did know was that he literally help shape the industry. Sad to hear that he has passed.
I knew he was sick, i knew he was not going to get better, but it just sucks. I loved his reviews, he went deeper than just about anyone else i know, and not only criticized but also said was was good, and gave alternatives for how to fix things perhaps, i loved his humor, his honesty, hi insight, several companies, BIG companies did as well, there is a reason for that. I feel we need like a giant compilation of great videos/moments from hsi videos, give it to his family to upload, so we can enjoy that video, and like the shit out of it to still give some extra support to his family with the earnings from that. I know it's easy for me to say, and i have no skills whatsoever to do this, it's, just something i'd personally like to see and enjoy and can do to help out, even if only just a little, and we might be able to crowdsource something like this perhaps ? Any ideas ?
How the fuck have I only found out about this now? I completely missed this :( Rest in peace Total Biscuit, I never really watched much of his content but I knew about his struggle with cancer, he fought his hardest
Man TB was the one who introduced me to HS way back in the day, i remember watching his hour long arena videos back in 2015. He fought so hard to beat the cancer and he had such a good mentality about it. It really sucks that he passed, even though it was sadly expected. Gonna miss him and his contagious laughter. R.I.P John ❤
Amidst the sad tone of this stream, I'm glad that there is something as silly and joyful as LUL is on Twitch. I'm glad in that sentiment that he survives, there something somber and reassuring about that. I hear all the time there is someone out there that influence them as much as Guy A but this... TotalBiscuit... I can't believe he's that guy for me... Never imagined that I would ever think that let alone say that... I grew up with him... I knew him for such a long time. I respected him. RIP John Bain You put up a hell of a fight...
Watched TB since the Cataclysm days. Thought the mans voice was butter. Never a dull moment. Hadnt watched a video of his over the last year tho because life ya know ? Hard to hear one of the RU-vid Gods is resting now and to find out so long after it happened. Rest easy man. You fought til the end. We love you TB!
Honestly never watched too much of total biscuit but i know the feeling of having someone who influenced you pass away, kitty0706 ( the guy who made team fabulous 2) when he passed away it was a heart blow no a stab through my heart but it inspired me to keep going
I don’t usually get to catch streams, and just keep updated on youtube. So I’m glad you put this out there. Shows TB is missed and shows how trump is a great person with a lot of depth to him
I remember watching his WTF is... Dishonored video. Watched some of his time to time before I could ever have a gaming PC. I remember coming back years later to see that he passed. Makes ya feel kinda hollow.
To this day TB still has the best Hearthstone content I have ever seen. I went back and watched every VOD he had on RU-vid because it was so entertaining watching him play his crazy decks.
