Tributes poured in for popular video game commentator John “TotalBiscuit” Bain, following the announcement of his death on Thursday at the age of 33.

Bain, who had been battling cancer since 2014, passed away on Thursday — several weeks after he announced he didn’t “have long left.”

His death was announced on Twitter, both on his account and by his wife, Gemma Bain.

Really sad about @totalbiscuit passing. I always admired his way of cutting through the bullshit – how he was never afraid of anyone or anything. He helped us get started and promoted the first Jingle Jam, and I'll never forget laughing together as we were blown up by ARSE mines. — Lewis Brindley (@YogscastLewis) May 25, 2018

So many thoughts, in 2010/2011 times. I couldn't get paid by tournament organizers to cast, Totalbiscuit was casting along side me who was. He found out, instantly saying wtf and shared 50% his earnings until I did. So many things he did. — Shaun Clark (@ApolloSC2) May 25, 2018

TotalBiscuit lived way longer than his doctors predicted he would, through sheer stubborn refusal to let his illness control him. Salute, sir — Dan Bull ἵ (@itsDanBull) May 25, 2018

Totalbiscuit was a powerful, intelligent voice that represented gamers everywhere. He left a mark on this industry that will persist forever.

I'm terrible at goodbyes, John. You were my mentor, partner, and most importantly – friend. You always tried to act so serious, but were really a giant goofball. Getting you to show the world that was my constant goal and supreme joy. Thank you for being in my life @Totalbiscuit pic.twitter.com/4PqMAk9U3K — Jesse Cox (@JesseCox) May 25, 2018

Throughout his cancer fight, Bain discussed the illness on podcasts and other media, including the popular H3H3 podcast.

In an update several weeks ago, Bain updated his fans on his medical condition.

“When I went into hospital a week or so ago, it was accompanied by the news that conventional chemotherapy effectiveness had been exhausted. My body has become resistant to all forms of it according to my oncologist,” he declared. “46 chemo treatments, 138 days plugged into a pump. Let nobody ever say I wasn’t stubborn. Unfortunately, this was followed up a couple of days later with some more bad news. My liver is failing and its effectiveness has lowered past the point where the clinical trials I had been offered would take me on.”

“Yes, apparently there are things that are too dangerous for even the terminal. Obviously we’re going to keep looking for other trials but I’m currently coming to terms with the fact that I don’t have long left and right now at any rate, there is literally nothing I can do about it other than try to manage the pain as best as possible and stay as hydrated as possible to ease the pressure on the liver,” Bain explained. “That’s what it comes down to now, getting my quality-of-life to as good a standard as possible. Even though you don’t really have any treatments to fight with any more, I firmly believe that the will to live is a very strong asset and that is much easier to maintain when you’re not in crippling pain all the time.”

Bain also claimed that it would “most likely” be his “last health update.”
