You mourning the loss of your friend helped open my floodgates, and I was able to grieve alongside you. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend; losing someone is never easy. He may no longer be here in person, but his legacy will continue to reverberate throughout everything y'all produce in Gamers Nexus. He was definitely proud of you!

Steve, your comment about Gordon and his judge of character resonated strongly with me. I’m roughly the same age as you, and Maximum PC was a staple of my high school and college years. When you said those words, it immediately crystallized something in my head, about why I not only valued Gordon at MaxPC, but why I value GamersNexus. That honesty, trustworthiness, and quality of character you speak of are also the same characteristics you reflect. One day, hopefully a very long time from now, someone will be speaking this way about their departed inspiration and friend Steve.

It definitely lead me into becoming an enthusiast, which now I watch Gamers Nexus for more enthusiast information and news. Your work definitely rang with me as his did in my younger years on TV.

Life is fleeting, and I like to think that he made the most of it. That is worthy of celebration.

I was pretty late to the game on Gordon. I first saw him literally in the video you posted that that first clip you showed was from. His charisma and poignancy was so memorable to me I looked into his stuff and ended up looking through a lot more of his work. I see so much of the way you conduct yourself and the ethical standards you hold yourself to reflected from what he did. If he had started an "lightning in a bottle" organization like you did he easily had the critical and charismatic ability to have an outlet as successful as GN. I feel some small fraction of your pain, thank you for sharing this.

Gordon was one of the first people I really enjoyed watching/reading the content of in the field of PC stuff. His sass came through whatever media he appeared in, and you know it wasn't just pure malicious sass, instead being sass coming from a place of genuine care/concern for the average consumer. I have a friend who looks a lot like Gordon, makes the same quippy jokes as Gordon, and is incredibly down to earth, and hearing of Gordon's passing just hits me in an odd way. I'll forever remember how unhinged Gordon was, all in the name of creating good and informational content. I loved watching all of the content between you guys, and I was always looking forward to the next time he'd get interviewed. I wish I was in the financial position to support his family, but I will definitely contribute when I'm able to. He's made a mark on my life in ways that few have been able to. Rest easy Gordon, I hope you're up there quipping at various markets and corporations on the other side :3.

Thank you for reminding me of all the places i read articles from Gordon. Always loved his way to keep me engaged. I read a lot of his works across his history while working in magazines, definitely remember Maximum PC days. Any videos Steve did with Gordon were always gold. Best part of Gordon was he said what everyone was thinking, but only mildly filtered. Steve is becoming this way and I love it.

Steve, this is by far the most personal, wonderful, vulnerable, and heartfelt tribute I can imagine. It is so deeply awesome to know Gordon better through your lens. It's beautiful and its heart wrenching. If Gordon is always weighing in when you're making a judgement call, that torch is in safe hands.

RIP Mr. Ung. He's been a huge tech resource for almost 30 years for me and I owe every piece of PC hardware knowledge I have is because of Gordon.

It's a good obituary that makes you feel emotional for someone you never met. You did a great job illuminating the influence Gordon had on you, and his forming you into what we in your audience so much appreciate. He seems like a fantastic guy, and I know I always enjoyed when you had him as a guest. His memory can certainly smile at what you've done here, and at what I know you will do with his legacy. I never met him, but I sure wish I had now. Thanks, Steve. So sorry for your loss.

I didn't quite start watching him on youtube but the few collabs i did see were great, he has a special level of funny yet serious as someone who seemed well informed :(

"Legendary Gordon" the understatement of the year. He will be sorely missed, even by those like me who are new to the DIY PC building space. His influence and inspiration will live on through your stories and his KZbin legacy. Rest in Peace, Gordon, and carry on Steve. You've both demonstrated your quality, time and again.

From boot to MaximumPC, I was a fan of Gordon's writing. The content, the style and the information were always spot on. Being a budget enthusiast, I would read his reviews and when it was time to make a purchase, his referals were usually the best. From 1999 through today I always appreciated his work, his knowledge and advocacy for the consumer was always job #1. Cancer has taken so many of my friends and family, this was sad, but thank you so much for your kind words for a great person. Sorry for your loss of a good friend.

Just came from the PCWorld video, and was looking to see if you guys had made a community post or something. Thanks for your touching video, I didn't expect to be crying about this but here I am 😢 I hope his family, coworkers and colleagues like you can find some peace during this time, and I'll be donating to the GoFundMe right now.
