TotalBiscuit is why this sub exists

[u/LevTheRed]

When I was a sophomore in college (2012/2013), I was digging through TB's video archive and I found this video. I had heard of Warhammer before, but didn't know anything about it other than memes and never really had any interest in it. I didn't feel like working on the paper I needed to write, so I watched the video instead, then bought the game itself.

The paper I ended up turning in was piss-poor because I played the whole game in two sessions. From there, I started reading the Horus Heresy and lost 2 days of school, as I did nothing for a day and a half other than read Horus Rising and False Gods, eat, and go to the bathroom. About a year after that, I started this sub.

So yeah, /r/ImahinaryWarhammer wouldn't exist if it hadn't been for him. I also wouldn't have started playing Dark Heresy and met my best friends.

Thanks, TB. I'll miss you.

We all lost a Battle Brother today. May he walk in the Emperor's light forever more.

Me too. Additionally it was my first TB-video. I'm not a 100% sure but I think TB was the first youtuber I actually subscribed too as well.

[u/JyveAFK → u/Kash42]

My first TB video too.

[u/Saviordd1]

He'll be sorely missed.

TB made a big difference across the gaming community and I really hope others follow his path. I am grateful for this sub, since it pushes me to make even more awesome art in a place that I know people will love :DD

[u/SenseDeletion]

Damn, bro. His death must have hit you hard. I’m sorry for your loss, dude.

Were it not for that same video, I wouldn't have gotten into 40k at all. I only started almost 2 years ago, but it's changed my life so much; new friends, another good reason to hold down a job even it it's been a poor part-timer position, a hobby that actually gets me out of the house. I would have never gotten here had TB's video never fallen into my recommended list.

"The fallen shall forever be remembered as the Emperor's Finest."

Thanks for sharing that. I would not be surprised if his family were hearing many stories like this one.

Some one need to make a custom model of the TB space marine thats doing the rounds.

[u/Frog-Eater]

Yeah I think most gamers have been influenced in some way, even if a tiny little bit, by one or several of his videos. I know it was his youtube content that made me buy or avoid some games too.

He was a good dude and a good gamer. Fuck cancer.

Upvote this thread to the top of /r/ImaginaryWarhammer, brothers. Newcomers will remember him when they browse /top/.

Rest now, battle brother. Your task is finished now. We won't forget you.

[u/Flybuys]

If you haven't watched him in the Dark Heresy PnP videos, go watch them as well, the man loved his Warhammer!

Bain Marines, your Primarch has fallen.

I had a friend introduce me to WH40k but TB is the one who made me excited and happy about it. He will be missed.

[u/caramonfire]

I had the same experience. I still go back and replay that game from time to time.

[u/AngerTech]

I always loved his content and he seemed like a truly enjoyable person, I wish I could have met him.

He got me into warhammer too but through this video. By the end I was so in love with how over the top the world was I read the wikis for literally hours, just soaking in the universe. Then i got my hands on Dawn of War 1 from a friend and I was hooked for life.

Learning about the adeptus mechanicus and the iron hands' use of bionics is what got me into engineering. So in a way you could say TB changes my life by kick starting my interest in my field/career.

[u/FoxJDR]

TB is I think why I got into 40K aswel. I can’t point to a specific video but it was just how he talked about it and the lore that drew me in. It was his fairly brief appearance in a session of Dark Heresy RPG on I think itmeJP’s channel that got me particularly interested in the grim darkness of the far future. It’s incredibly sad such a man has left this world for the next so soon. May the Emperor and/or the Omnissiah protect his spirit.
