hope he makes a full recovery.

I think total biscuit is really valuable to the pc gaming community. He gives credit where it's due and criticism as well. He has the eloquence and the credibility to do it better than others. Which is only Gonna help devs get better. And he doesn't do silly things like giving scores out of 10 or rankings. He gives his impressions which are far more valuable to Those of us which have the attention span for it.

TB throws a fit at everything. He is a narcissist with paper thin skin and even if you're mad you shouldn't tell someone to get cancer and die (or tell someone to die in general).

I am indifferent about Total Biscuit and I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy, but you have to admit that it is a bit ironic that he has gone around telling people to die, get horrible diseases etc, and then he ends up getting cancer. Again, I don't think he or anyone else deserves it, but it is ironic.

Cancer is very serious, and that's why you shouldn't go around telling people to get it.

 

Reminds me of Set Putman: He continued to play his song "You're in a Coma" even after being on a Coma himself. Of course when you throw chairs at your live audience you're going a bit beyond just general animosity towards your audience but still.

I'm sorry, but "baww someone on the Internet said something mean about me" does not justify being a dick. His ego is too fragile to ignore YouTube and Twitter comments though.

I think he is a mild-narcissistic douchebag, but I also think that even a person like that shouldn't have to suffer from cancer. I genuinely hope that you and all other people that suffers from cancer gets well, you douchebag.

If it is too expensive he can come back and get it treated on the NHS.

That would involve leaving his wife and kids behind.

If his children were born after 30th June 2006 they are automatically British citizens and I'm sure his wife could get a visa relatively easily.

The last time he tried to bring his family to England, just to visit him, his claim was denied because immigration thought they would never leave. So given that they were already denied once I would say its probably not gonna be that easy.

He just has to apply for a British passport for his children. His wife would be eligible for a spouse visa or she could enter under the visa free tourist access for 3 months.

He tried that when he was living in England in 2011. They were ALL denied. His wife and kids are all from the US I believe.

No i just love how this happens but we let in 1000s who keep wages down to their legal minimum hence why we're facing a cost of living crisis.

Wish him the best and hope/pray for the best.

 

He currently is one of my inspirations and by far one of the best reviewers on the entire gaming space.

I feel soo hard for TotalBiscuit. My sister died in January because of a rare bone Marrow cancer (1 in a Trillion, It's called paediatric myelodysplastic) Nobody had ever had the exactly the same form as she had :(. I really hope that TotalBiscuit makes a full recovery unlike my sister did.
