lazygecko Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 So it was on his youtube channel a while ago that he might have something that could turn out to be serious. Today it was confirmed on his twitter that it's full blown cancer and he's going to start treatment.A while ago TB started to regularly promote OCR in his videos by featuring an OC ReMix at the end of his vlogs and industry news videos. He's done a lot to help OCR reach a larger audience, and I think it's only fair that we show our support back to him. I watched his videos since way, way back when he just did some quirky World of Warcraft videos. Since then his channel exploded to become more or less the largest personality in PC gaming. I hope the chemo is successful and that he feels well enough to keep making videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbu Frahma Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hope he comes through it all okay. He's one of the most insightful critics we have on videogames, and he's always seemed a pretty good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexstyle Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I've always enjoyed watching his videos and his straight-laced, no-nonsense approach to video game reviews and the state of the industry in general. May he be blessed in his battle against a horrible disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorgMan Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Here's hoping we can put together something cool like what was done for bLiNd with Reserve Tank. I thoroughly enjoyed that album and I think it's a very neat way of showing appreciation to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Never watched his videos, but I truly hope he'll go through. Cancer is a horrible thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Do we know what kind of cancer he has? What type of chemo he's going to do? How far it's staged? I work with cancer patients everyday, I have a unquenching need to know these things. TB is the savior of E-Sports. We need him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 never watched his videos, but sorry to hear this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Jobson Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think it's cancer of the colon. He was saying that it was caught just a little too late, and there's now something like a 2cm lump. He made a video about it. Not sure what type of chemo he will be put on, but perhaps he may share some more information. His tweet did say that the doctors are optimistic, so I'm hoping for the best. He's a really good guy, and is very young still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemsReady Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 He said that his chemo is in pill form, and that he'll also be getting surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Fortunately resection of the colon is a safe and effective procedure. My concern is if it has progressed to stage 2 yet and that's why they are also going with the chemo option. I would really like to see what a PET/CT would show on him.

FenixDown Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm not a regular viewer of his videos or anything but I hope he manages to pull through. Cancer is a horrible thing for anyone to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm not a regular viewer of his, but I've really enjoyed his material in the past. Best wishes to him. Seriously, fuck cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONKERS Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I never quite cared for the guy or shared many of his opinions. But no one deserves cancer. Hopefully he'll beat it and it's not a horribly painful process for 'em. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFamicorn Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I haven't seen his stuff either, but I have seen a few things from his Twitter feed. Best of luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I don't even play PC games but I like watching some of Total Biscuit's reviews and news shows. He's definitely a model YouTuber. All that aside, though, I hope he fully recovers with no pain at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
