Ten years ago he was the only person i watched on Youtube. He did gaming related content, originaly about WOW and Starcraft 2, later branching out into Indi and AAA games. While he could be controversial as a person he had deep knowledge of the industry and made videos that where 100% made with gamers on mind. The man was a fucking ledgend and there is nobody who has been able to take up his work with the same integritity and knowledge he had.
He was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014 and died 2018. In his last videos you can hear him slowly withering away.
He also has that podcast with Jesse Cox and Dodger, really missed that because they kept it focused on the gaming topics yet also light hearted. Whereas every other gaming news podcast just was way to cynical.
The Co–Optional podcast. I watched it till the bitter end. The last couple of episodes are painfull to listen to, TB beeing heavily druged and clearly suffering. Cancer is a bitch.
RIP TotalBiscuit, he absolutely was a constant for me as well with game reviews. I always went to his channel to get a review. It really sucks there isn’t another that has picked up the mantle.
I’m thinking of John Baine aka TotalBiscuit.

Here is is talking about living with cancer.
Here is him playing the 2016 Doom release and getting more and more happy / exited the longer he plays it.
Diagnosed with colon cancer after literally wishing “ass cancer” upon someone else.
I mean, karma has a mean sense of humour.
