Gordon Mah Ung Remembered

[@paulshardware]

This was so devastating to hear and Gordon will be missed so much. He had a passion for truth and near-zero tolerance for marketing BS or anything not-consumer-friendly. He impacted so many of our lives and helped shape opinions in the most positive way possible. I always looked forward to chatting with him at launch events and I never really got over going from being a fan / reader of his back in the Maximum PC days to being someone who counted him as a friend. RIP Gordon, you were taken away from us far too soon.

[@thefullnerdpodcast]

Thank you for the kind words Paul, he was always so excited to see you at events ♥️ -Adam

[@Bitwit]

At press events and conventions I'd always be nervous to talk to the industry legends, afraid of sounding dumb or not feeling worthy of their time. Gordon ALWAYS struck up conversation with me when the opportunity arose, asking about a video of mine he'd seen, or cracking a joke about the corporate briefing we just sat through. I quickly realized what everyone already knew: That Gordon was, in fact, the fucking man. I feel awful for what he must have went through in his final days, but I feel worse for the people who never knew him. Rest in peace Gordon, and thanks for all the chats.

[@UFDTech]

Gordon was one of the best. Every moment I got to spend with him was a beautiful insight into what it meant to be a tech enthusiast & loving family man. I'll miss him & he'll be a notable absence in the PC community.

[@JarrodsTech]

RIP Gordon :( I only met him once briefly at Computex years ago, we were walking in opposite directions and he saw me, introduced himself and said he liked our stuff. Caught me by surprise because of course I knew who he was and we were much smaller. Just seemed like a good guy who loved the tech community.

[@RetroGameCorps]

Rest in peace Gordon, you were a legend.

[@Namamiri]

He will forever be a legend.

[@techyescity]

RIP Gordon, such an awesome dude to hang out with IRL. Every computex always looked forward to meeting up with you guys and talking shenanigans. He was a real one man, was not shy to approach and spark up a conversation. If you guys need an ear then don't hesitate to hit me up.

[@gerardw.7468]

TechYES man!

[@claudep.1926]

You're a class act, Bryan! Unfortunately, I can't say the same about tha FrameChasers guy. His behavior comes across as toxic, self-centered, and borderline sociopathic. It's disappointing to see you associated with someone who would so blatantly undermine Gordon's industry-leading work.

[@OfficialPCMR]

Gordon will be sorely missed by the entire PC community not only due to how legendary his status was in it, as one of the original PC journalists and enthusiasts, but as a great human being who always had a smile and a story to tell. Rest in peace, Gordon.

[@Hothardware]

We'll miss you, our good friend. You always were a stand-up, gracious man - a true professional. We are very proud to have worked along side you.

[@tasteliketofu]

We have lost a true journalist and PC supporter. He was the Goat and I will wear my Outage Pony sweatshirt proudly. Long live Gordon.

[@GearSeekers]

Gordon was an amazing person. Gordon to me was one of those people who didn't care who you were or where you came from he was just happy to chat. Gordon and the PCWorld team were the first people in our industry to really acknowledge us as peers and for that I will always be thankful. We spent a bit of time with Gordon while travelling around and I got to know him on a personal level. Gordon wasn't just amazing at his job he was just a straight up amazing human. He will be missed but his legacy will live on forever. I'm going to miss him.

[@Falcon_Northwest]

Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning Gordon.

[@Kridian01]

👍

[@METAPCs]

Gordon’s impact on the tech and PC community was truly remarkable. His passion and dedication shaped the way so many of us view the industry today. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and everyone who was inspired by his work. Rest in peace Gordon.

[@Wiredrope]

If you clowns believe this then match PC north west on the donos or this just farce with the people you sponsor

[@BPSCustoms]

What a titanic and influential life and legacy he leaves behind. I always wanted to be like Gordon, and am proud to have been able to work with him, even if it was on a limited basis. His steadfast commitment to journalistic integrity and factual reporting paired with unparalleled enthusiasm for PCs and technology shaped how I approached this space over the past 10 years. He will be missed. ❤

[@beotaku.]

I lost my father too soon on Saturday as well. Hard times for many. Condolences to his family.

[@thefullnerdpodcast]

My condolences to you and yours. -Adam

[@beotaku.]

Thank you.

[@DevonM.Anderson]

Talk about Narcissism! Making this about you is messed up.

[@SomebodyYouUsedToKnow]

@@DevonM.Anderson delete this you weirdo. He is clearly hurt too. Takes one strange human to twist that into something negative.

[@IHazPeppers]

Dude just lost his father. Show some respect.

[@neuroflare]

You did good Adam. We're gonna miss you Gordon.

[@JeffGeerling]

Oh no! He will be missed. Such sad news to kick off this Christmas week 😢 I pray his family and friends are okay, such a hard thing to hear.

[@jhsnapp]

This is the saddest news I could possibly hear before the holidays. Godspeed Gordon… you will be missed always and forever more.

[@evancycles]

As Steve from Gamers Nexus said, " Gordon is the G.O.A.T"

[@Tsuroerusu]

Adam tearing up at the end of the speech really shows that this is a huge loss for him..😢

[@RandomUnassignedYTHandle]

Adam really stood up during this crises. Extremely impressive. Condolences to him and the team in this profound loss.

[@kelownatechkid]

​@@RandomUnassignedYTHandle I agree. Adam is really a class act

[@bignishspcinsights1762]

Nicely done Adam. This is such sad news. Gordon was the keystone of the Full Nerd. He was always enigmatic and sometimes contradicted himself within a Full Nerd episode, but we loved that about him and we always forgave him. His commitment to the PC platform, and all the players who make it happen (both companies and fans alike) was beyond question. My thoughts and payers are with his family, friends and colleagues at PC World. Gordon is now in a place where he will always have access to the best of the best PC hardware, ATX no longer exists, and no one considers the 1080Ti a viable option under any circumstances. Looking forward to the great content, guests and banter in 2025. RIP Gordon.

[@thefullnerdpodcast]

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment, it's people like you who will help keep his memory alive ❤️ -Adam

[@monofurioso]

I read Gordon's articles when I was a single dude living in Brooklyn NY in the 90's and now as the parent of a few teens and working as an IT admin, I owe a lot to Gordon. RIP, and love to his friends and family. ❤

[@zodwraith5745]

F*ck me if this wasn't an unexpected gut punch in my feed. 😭 I hadn't heard he was getting worse. Gordon is the only journalist I've actively followed throughout their career because every time he opened his mouth exactly what I would have said would come out of it. It's odd to say you actually loved a journalist, but I loved Gordon Mah Ung. The PC hardware space lost not just A goat, but THE GOAT, and he will be deeply missed as would a family member. RIP GMU

[@UsmanPirzada161]

This is a devastating loss. You were a shining beacon for so many of us. Thank you for everything.

[@mrjh8467]

You will be missed Gordon

[@kristopherkoontz3839]

In my estimation, Gordon Mah Ung was the greatest tech reporter of all time - - hard hitting, ethical, factual, and objective. I have followed his career since the earliest days of Maximum PC magazine and have kept every printed issue of that publication, in part for it being such a big part of my own professional journey, but largely for Gordon's entertaining wisdom. I loved his folksy reporting on the No BS podcast and later in articles on PC World and The Full Nerd. Listening to his rants were often like listening to my own thoughts on a topic, except clarified and funny. Gordon clearly cared so much and so deeply about, not just technology, but people, and it was contagious. Gordon inspired others with his wit and opinions. If you have doubts, just read some of the myriad comments on this video. When I heard on The Full Nerd last year that he had been diagnosed with cancer, I related all the more as I have battled that foul disease through many treatments and for many years myself. I regret that I did not reach out and try to return some of the inspiration he has given to me over these many years. Rest well, Gordon. You have left this world a far better place than you found it.

[@MarcsSpark]

RIP, you'll always be remembered ❤

[@rikachiu]

I looked forward to Maximum PC every month. Gordon was one of the reasons I got into IT. RIP, a legend in tech.

[@mark_delight]

I said this on Steve's channel just a few minutes ago where I learned of Gordon's passing. He always seemed to be a true gentleman, and we all know how much of an absolute LEGEND he became through the years of print and then video. We've lost one of our best ones with Gordon's passing. My heart breaks tonight.

[@grimmgnarly]

The beginning of the magazine where articles are small… Gordon could never be small. He was outspoken, vibrant, and passionate. He birthed so many of us PC enthusiasts-he touched so many. Thank you, Gordon.

[@AK-Brian]

This one hurts. We're going to miss and remember you, Gordon. Thank you Adam Patrick Murray and the rest of the PCW crew for posting this statement and dedication.

[@milohajek]

Very well stated Adam, thank you for being so strong. Lettings The Full Nerd and PC World family know this tragic news could not have been easy but you delivered it with the pride and integrity of a true friend, God Bless you all and may you have the strength to make it through this unbelievably difficult time.

[@puretrack06]

This hit so hard.

[@ELCrisler]

Gordon was an amazing person, I loved reading his articles in the early days and actually got to meet him when I started working for Sapphire. One of the most fun times I had doing an interview was the one I did with Gordon on the Full Nerd. It was great speaking with someone that had some of the same "old days" experiences in the world of PCs. We spoke a few more times about a wide range of topics. I would see something interesting as ask his opinion and a few times he would call me up to ask mine, that to me was one of the greatest compliments I ever received without being complimented, knowing Gordon came to me for my opinion. I will miss him a lot..

[@thefullnerdpodcast]

Gordon really enjoyed connecting with you Ed, so glad we were able to have you on the show with him ♥️ -Adam

[@rikvelasquez]

Like so many enthusiasts, I got into PC building because of Maximum PC and there was no magazine without Gordon. I looked forward to his writing and then his podcast following happily wherever he went. Very few people have significantly affected my life without ever meeting them but Gordon was one

[@bowmancranegameaddict2765]

Devastated to learn of his passing. I'll never forget how much laughter he brought into my life with his 'Rant of the Week'.

[@la009895]

He will be missed, kept us informed all the way until the end. He is a true legend.

[@michaelstaruszkiewicz8798]

RIP Gordon, Heartfelt Thanks for allowing me to join you on our PC Journey through the years from Maximum PC to The Full Nerd Podcast. God Speed My Friend & Mahalo!

[@ScottyBrockway]

RIP Gordon. Damn... F Cancer.

[@MoireFly]

I will hold Gordon's enthusiasm and deep knowledge as a cherished memory. I wish the family and friends much strength.

[@4m470]

Dude is legit one of the funniest guys in PC history. Literally running circles around everyone with his wit and PC knowledge. RIP to a legit PC HW legend.

[@BarisYener]

He was great and will be remembered. Thank you.

[@ddlog420]

Oh man, I am completely devastated. I always looked forward every week to The Full Nerd, just to see Gordon's funny take on things. Rest in peace, Gordon Mah Ung, my forever favorite tech reporter and journalist. 😢

[@DeeBatch]

RIP Gordon, Watched him throughout the years. To the team my god help you and his family through these hard times. He was 1 of 1.

[@djtribo8925]

RIP Gordon. To a true legend, the Goat. Thank you for everything. 🙏🖤

[@agusticuria3331]

His loss hits really hard 😢To me, he was best tech journalist out there. He had everything: wisdom, ethics, incredible sense of humor, communication skills, and was a lovely person. I hope the rest of PC World team will follow his legacy as his style of doing jornalism must be preserved. Thank you for everything Gordon, We'll really miss you. Rest in peace, I hope to meet you in heaven

[@HalfUnder]

I luckily got to randomly meet Gordon once. I fanboyed so hard. His knowledge, his humor, his humility. If the measure of a man is the legacy he leaves then Gordon is sitting high. Between his family, friends, colleagues, and all of us randoms on the internet. Nothing but love to Gordon's family, the Full Nerd family, his friends and colleagues from me over in TX.

[@EthelbertCoyote]

My condolences to his family, friends and coworkers. Man this must have been hard to make a video of. Godspeed to the most solid of blokes.

[@RetroTinkerer]

I will miss him very much, so sorry for your loss PCWorld family.

[@JonsCreditAndTravel]

Gordon is the GOAT!!!! I remember anticipating every single Maximum PC magazine back in the day and listening to the Maximum PC No BS podcast the day it was released.....learning from Gordon as a kind and into adulthood. Such a great dude. Rest In Peace Gordon. You deserve it. Thank you for providing the GoFundMe.

[@dziedzic8565]

Gordon Mah Ung may you rest in peace. You were always my go to for all things PC tech related. I like many here have been following you since the mid 90's. With a sad heart you will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to your family.

[@wvnn27ahmvd]

words can't describe how much i'm gonna miss Gordon. followed him during his days on MaximumPC, mostly from doing his podcast there, and later on PCWorld. enjoyed all of his tech talks, rants and everything else he had in mind. things are certainly never gonna be the same without him. rest easy, Gordon Mah Ung

[@veda9151]

We lost two great Journalist in the second half in 2024, David Knowles in September and now Gordon Mah. I will forever grateful for their works and their passion on reporting for the people. They will forever be my inspiration.

[@JuanRdz660]

Gunna cry myself to sleep. RIP Gordon. You are missed

[@NomNomBasti]

I had to pause the video multiple times. My condolences to Gordon's family and friends. And you did a great job, Adam.

[@JDCheng]

RIP Gordon... you have left a huge legacy for this community.

[@janklaassen6404]

Donations just passed 100k. So nice to see that.

[@RussellKasem]

One of the highlights of my young life was going to the grocery store with my mom so I could browse the magazine isle and hopefully convince my mom to buy me the latest edition of MaximumPC. I especially loved the Dream Machine builds, combing through all the parts and day dreaming about playing Half Life 2 or Unreal Tournament on it. It wasn’t until 2017 or so that I finally had the means to build my own Dream Machine. Thank you Gordon for all that you’ve done and all that you’ve inspired to get into the craft. You will be sorely missed! Judging by the emotional statement read here, you’ve made an impression on all you’ve worked with and your legacy will continue through their works.

[@patobobo6071]

RIP Gordon, you will be missed.

[@nomatter_me]

I was really worried not to see him recently on the full nerd but never really envisaged him not coming back. I didn't want to see it. I was still very much hoping to see Gorgon making a full recovery no matter how weak he seems to be sometime. As one of the many unknown person that shared our pc love with Gordon, thanks for that video and my condolences.

[@OptimousePrime]

Man gut punching to wake up to 😞, can't imagine what his family is feeling but I hope he's found peace and my condolences to all his family and his PC World/Full Nerd Family also 💜

[@maxmercer1931]

RIP , Gordon

[@vsuarezp]

We will all miss Gordon. And we will never forget him. Rest in peace.

[@vipast6262]

I will miss his coverage, and his personality. I loved his articles in boot/maximum PC... and he is the reason I started watching / listening to Full Nerd Podcast.

[@quadzilla3326]

Damnit. You will be greatly missed Gordon. ❤️

[@eiermanntelevision9389]

Oh no, such sad news. 😢 Rest in peace, Gordon. I will be relistening to his Rants of the Week in his honor. He brought joy to many people.

[@SuperWarioBrother]

Rest easy my friend 🙏

[@Precurser66]

His passion for PCs and tech in general was second to none. My deepest condolences to Gordon's family and friends. May he R.I.P

[@renereiche]

Same age as my brother is now... that's just way too young. Man, eff cancer. I followed Gordon only since his first KZbin interview with Gamersnexus Steve, but the more videos I watched with him, it became clear that his opinions were always and unbeatably the fun ones. Rest in peace, Gordon.

[@fernandoblazin]

eff cancer indeed

[@theotherguystv6393]

RIP Gordon. God bless you and your family. You will be greatly missed.

[@mqcapps]

Gordon was truly a class act and a sanity check for all of us.

[@Azul-ft7ft]

Thank you Gordon for giving me so much joy reading your articles in Maximum PC while I was in High School. After quickly reading through the magazine, I could not wait for the next issue to come out to see what you wrote; I especially enjoyed reading the WatchDog. You inspired me about hardware and technology, and to this day I'm thinking about my next rig and how I desperately want to hear your advice on what is coming out and what your thoughts are ...

[@robip]

RIP Gordon. May your dream machines be as brilliant in the sky as they were with us.

[@bl4d3runn3rX]

What a PC community legend. We miss you already. My condolences to his family. Rest in peace brother. ❤❤❤

[@TypeErrorDubs]

Tragic. Gordon was so great at his work you could see it in his collaborations across the industry seemed to gravitate to him. I’ve watched countless videos and Full Nerds with him in it, and he’ll be greatly missed. Now onwards to the next bigger bar. ❤

[@doncapo732]

Really sad by Gordon's passing. Some of my fondest memories are coming home to Maximum PC magazine deliveries and spending hours reading Gordon's incredible work. Gordon's contributions to the industry and his advocacy for consumers will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.

[@Dknob]

RIP Gordon. I loved the "olden days" PC anecdotes he would share. The pod has had a remarkable run and it feels like a friend has passed.

[@jefmes]

I'm so sorry to the PC World team and Gordon's family, I truly hoped he was getting better. I've been following and working in PC/Computing tech for the past 30 years, and I can't count the number of Gordon's articles I've read, video segments I've watched, and overall just generally enjoyed what he did with his life. He absolutely helped me be a more informed person which I think was truly his goal above all else. He will very much be missed!

[@SephilockXGP44]

RIP Gordon Mah Ung, you will always be remembered 😢

[@KouroshFarrokhzad]

My condolences to the Mah Ung family and everyone who knew and loved Gordon and his legacy. A true class act and ambassador for the tech community, this is an immeasurable loss. Much love especially to everyone at PC World and The Full Nerd.

[@Bagman57]

I'm balling my eyes out right now. My condolences to Gordon's family, friends, and coworkers. RIP Gordon. Your in a much better place from pain and suffering. ♥♥♥

[@RandomUnassignedYTHandle]

There with ya.

[@Diegorskysp17]

I became a regular listener of the show in no small part because of his legendary rants and well informed analysis. He will be missed, but his legacy is in good hands. My deepest condolences.

[@nahlgae]

Thank you Gordon. You will be deeply missed.

[@angelman26]

This breaks my heart. I started following Gordon's work when he was with MaximumPC when I was in the military. I have some old MaximumPC mags in one of my old army trunks that are gonna mean so much more to me now. What he meant and still means to the ultra tech enthusiast and tech professional community can not be quantified. If you could produce the perfect tech journalist in a lab, it would be Gordon. I reached out to him when the news broke that he was battling cancer and let him know that I was praying for him and was with him. He actually took the time answer back, and I hope that my little message of encouragement helped in some way. I pray for the peace of his family, friends, and colleagues, and hope that the love of this season covers them all, now and forever. R.I.P. Gordon

[@slickrounder6045]

Gordon was the main reason i tuned into The Full Nerd podcast and even knew of PCWorld. I strongly dislike "journalists" generally, but he was a real one. Was sad to see him hit hard by Cancer, but impressive that he dedicated himself to his passion, Tech Journalism, till the very end. A Legend in the tech world is gone.

[@jimbroom4036]

❤ Thank you Gordon

[@Moochy999]

Thank you Gordon for being with us and sharing yourself. One of a kind and will be greatly missed. What a loss for everyone. Tears.

[@kelownatechkid]

Gordon changed my life for the better. I have listened to him ever since Maximum PC Podcast as a kid delivering newspapers. May his family know that Gordon was one of the best. ❤

[@WritesTooMuch]

I will miss Gordons rants for the rest of my life. Gordon was on Full Nerd until only recently. He was still uploading Intel related discussions until even more recently. He LOVED his work more than almost anything, and not even the specter of his own impending demise could keep him away. THAT is a whole nother level of PCMR. ❤️

[@L0rd_0f_War]

Thank you Gordon. You are loved and will be sorely missed.

[@slymanmx]

This is very sad, an irreparable loss. Charisma and authenticity in the journalism of the PC community.

[@CoryMT]

Gordon's personality was what brought me to the Full Nerd Podcast fairly recently and I'm sad to see him go. May he rest in peace, and all the best to his loved ones.
