UGO and 1UP representatives commented on the deal:<p> "Since we started UGO 11 years ago, we have served the gamer community and built a world-class online publishing platform," said J Moses, CEO of UGO Entertainment. "The acquisition of 1UP, with its authentic voice, tenured editorial personalities and bustling user community, allows us to expand our base of quality content and represents a major step forward in UGO's mission to become the leader in the games space."<p> "We are extremely excited to join the UGO team," said Sam Kennedy, editorial director and creator of 1UP.

That said, EGM had a pretty decent marketshare, with subscriberships ranging in estimation from 550,000 to 800,000, so it wasn't exactly a money drain, and Ziff Davis was wrong in dumping the magazine in claims that it was too expensive.</p> <p>As RebelFM states, the 1up show and podcasts were pretty expensive with no real revenue stream when the ads stopped comming in, so its natural for UGO to cut those first, a foolish move considering how important they were to the feel of the site (though one could make the arguement that they didn't make up the majority of the content on the site anyway) and the solutions to profitablility wouldn't have flied anyway, after all how many of you would have paid for an HD version of the 1up show, or do something like the IGN subscription model?</p> <p>I'm not saying that we should be accepting of Ugo, the site is shit, but as of now the 1up site will remain seperate and the news stories are still comming. Maybe in the future we'll see the return of the 1up show, with some way of keeping them profitable.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8990812','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8990812);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8990812"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8990400"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5475696"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3093949" alt="dgekstrom" title="dgekstrom" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Does anyone else find it odd...</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5475696" class="bold">dgekstrom</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>...that 1UP.com still has a "subscribe to EGM" link up?  I'm seriously pissed that EGM is going the way of the dodo, but why continue to mislead those that do not already know?</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8990400','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8990400);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8990400"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8990397"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5805800"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3439388" alt="kiefer" title="kiefer" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>how about this</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5805800" class="bold">kiefer</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Could we have everyone and everything back if every 1up user pledged to a lifetime EGM subscription?

If you don't like that they're canceling EGM, the podcasts, the GameVideos shows (like The 1UP Show), and that they've fired almost everyone who made 1UP what it is and gave it it's personality, then you should unsub as well. They're (UGO) not going to read this thread, and if they do, it's not going to effect their decisions or show them what they've done. However, since they've already gotten rid of 1UP's "authentic voice" and "tenured editorial personalities" they were so happy to acquire, they should also lose it's "bustling user community"</p> <p>...in my opinion.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8989786','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8989786);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8989786"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8989730"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5898009"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3812506" alt="bigalan1984" title="bigalan1984" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Make Your Own???</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5898009" class="bold">bigalan1984</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I think th 1up staff should make they're own website like th giantbomb guys it would b class!!!!

It just had the best personality and "feel good" type that I enjoyed the most. This sucks but I kind of saw it coming. With the economy and all, I have been an avid EGM collector and I tell you, the magazine was getting thinner and thinner, the end was close.</p> <p>This is a sad day for videogames in general. With the gaming business seeing a drop over all as well, I just hope things get better before they get worse. The EGM/1UP staff that was laid off will be missed and R.I.P EGM, the greatest video game mad EVER!</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8989457','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8989457);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8989457"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8989444"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5977023"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3615349" alt="JohannesXboxNerd" title="JohannesXboxNerd" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Firing the Staff won't make us like you</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5977023" class="bold">JohannesXboxNerd</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment">What's the talk with firing 1up members.

was Ziff Davis' management that made poor decisions which caused this whole issue to transpire.  UGO however had no right to come in and take EGM apart.  That was a foolish move.  I'm beginning to think they just took 1UP to tear it apart and promote their own site.  I'm gonna do everything in my power to keep people away from your site (not like anyone with a head on their shoulders goes there anyway).  Here's two middle fingers to UGO!</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for

I hope the remaining staff jump ship; unfortunately the economic shithole that the world is in caused the layoffs and could possibly prevent that. I used to trust this website. It was a beacon of awsome in a sea of garbage. The Gamespot incident earlier in 2008 made me slightly angry. This makes me sad.

After it was cancelled, by subscription to OPM was replaced with one to EGM and I after a few issues I missed OPM a little less, a few more issues, a little less, and so on until EGM became my favorite magazine. I could hardly wait for the next issue to come in the mail. I was just thinking to myself the other day that my magazine is late, wondering when it would come... well I guess I've gotten my answer, it won't. Maybe the last issue was sent out before it was cancelled and I'll get it tomorrow or another day, which would be great, but I can't get my hopes up like that again, just to get dashed. I'm going to miss EGM so much.</p> <p>I've been around this site for a while (just decided to sign up recently) and have loved it for everything it gave, even if I didn't agree with it. I never really got myself involved because I knew it had to change, it was too perfect and fun. I usually hate change in any part of my life (ocd), and this is going to be a big change with many of the staff members, and pods gone, not to mention other changes incoming. I hope it turns out for the best, and I hope those who've been let go get something awesome going on their end. Good luck to all.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988896','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988896);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988896"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988880"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5489018"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3856036" alt="LotusisAustin" title="LotusisAustin" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>What.....wait......wow.</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5489018" class="bold">LotusisAustin</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>This comes as a blow, wow, honestly the biggest loss for me isn't EGM, even though I've had a subscription to the mag for the last 6 years.

I am actually hurt that my favorite magazine is dead, and I will never again see it arive at my house, which is something I loved. The day I got one of my two magazines was the day I died and went to super heaven. Man. I hope UGO dies. This will be as bad as when YoYo Games took over the Game Maker community, and everything that had to do with it.

This takeover seems to be a shock, however it's been a slow death in my eyes, as the vets of EGM understandably gave-way to the rich splendor of a life away from simply writing what they love to play, so did I fall from reading and listening to it.<br/> <br/> These are my top 5 favorite things of EGM/1up.<br/> <br/> 1. I never got into the 1up community after I started work, but I have to give a shout-out to those here who were on the original ZD boards: <em>Talk with the EGM editors</em>. I debated Shane on that board soon after MGS2 was released. It was one of the best mornings of my Junior year of high school, and I don't think I ever spent more time wasted on message boards after that.<br/> <br/> 2. The EGM staff's obsession (especially Shoe) with ethics and impartiality. <em>Car and Driver</em> of video games this was not.<br/> <br/> 3. I emailed Shoe about how I could get a debug Dreamcast so I could review games for my high school newspaper. He actually replied candidly, hilariously telling me that it would never happen, but that if someday I wrote on-line it <em>maybe</em> could. I appreciated that his reply was longer than my initial message.<br/> <br/> 4. Dyak vs. MacDonald, Bettenhausen, and Intihar.<br/> <br/> 5. Shane Bettenhausen, Mark MacDonald, James "Milkman" Mielke, Bryan Intihar,<br/> Shoe, Shawn Smith, John Davidson, Garnett Lee, and Sushi-X: for me and my nerd friends these people were NFL stars but cooler, because like us they were the geeks who made it big.<br/> <br/> With these dying days, it appears the golden age of video game gonzo journalism is dead. However, through the interwebs it will leave a beautiful corpse.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>THANKS FOR LEGITIMIZING GAMING</strong><br/> <br/> <br/> -Dan Johnson</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988690','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988690);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988690"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988684"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6012310"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3740515" alt="Hellslinger1" title="Hellslinger1" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Fuck you UGO.</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6012310" class="bold">Hellslinger1</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>just see title.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988684','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988684);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988684"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988680"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5898009"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3812506" alt="bigalan1984" title="bigalan1984" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Who is left for dead?</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5898009" class="bold">bigalan1984</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Can someone tell me who is left from the 1up crew??????

And they will just do what other corporations do when they take over a beloved company just like this, and they will close their ears and pretend not to hear all of the people who are mad about this.

I already see that they are trying to move this news post off of the main page quickly but,</p> <p>There is still 1 big thing that bugging me</p> <p>Why are the going to still call this site 1up? It seems to me that if they fire the editors/writers who made 1up what it is, and end some of the most beloved features of 1up, didnt they end the 1up site altogether? I think that the reason why they took 1up over in the first place was to end some of the gaming competition</p> <p>And why and the hell are they ending the #1 gaming magazine? The game magazine market might be officially over with this move and the market may only be game websites for corporate junkies who want to get their quick fix on advertisements just for money.

Coffee in hand, I nestled into the corner cubical of the office and plugged a pair of earbuds into my data-entry computer. As they doing every morning, my fingers tapped their way along the keyboard to the homepage of my favorite game network: 1UP. Over the past two years I had been visiting 1UP as they seemed to provide the most honest, professional, and passionate view of the gaming industry. This morning though, what met my eyes was not the appearance of an intimate interview by James Milke, nor was there the familiar face of Shane Bettenhausen announcing the arrival of an eagerly awaited podcast. Instead, pasted on 1UP’s homepage was an ominously optimistic news story: <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: windowtext;">UGO Entertainment Acquires 1UP</span></em>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">As I read the article I slowly came to the realization that my favorite gaming network was undergoing a dramatic change of staffing and management. I remained hopeful as UGO appeared to be supporting 1UP’s offloading from Ziff Davis Media. As true as director Sam Kennedy’s statements may have been, I couldn’t help but to see a slight veil of dishonesty. And as I read the flaming comments below the rhetoric-ridden statement, my stomach sank: those writers whom I had become loyal to were suddenly losing their place of publication. Naturally, my jaw dropped as the day went on and the brutal list of 30+ laid-off employees surfaced.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Let me be clear when I say that within my mere two years of reading and listening, I had not fostered any sort of explicit relationship with 1UP’s writers or their internet community. I stumbled on the site by accident and had been continually drawn back by the strong personalities that shared my interest. In secret, I began reading stacks of EGM back issues and listening to hours of their out-of-date radio shows. As I read old reviews and feature stories, I felt as if I was slowly cultivating new friends; friends who understood the passion I felt for games. As I matured as a gamer, these writers stuck by my side always providing an entertaining, knowledgeable, yet never-pretentious word.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">So, the question now arises: How do I say goodbye to the friends I never introduced myself to? How do I thank a group of gamers that inspired me to write about the things I am most passionate of? The fact is I simply cannot express the gratitude I feel toward this community and the amount of sympathy that I submit for those who have been laid-off. Mention should also be made for my condolences toward those remaining and the pains of transition that are sure to come; I am nonetheless looking forward to seeing the long-term direction of the 1UP network.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">So here’s to business and here’s to change: here’s to one of the saddest days of game journalism. Here’s to our talented friends who have provided us with laughter, insight, and an incredible place where gamers call their home. Most of all though, here’s to games and here’s to the future.

Then I find out earlier today from here and other sites that it's true. Seriously, this UGO, HUGO or WALDO company is as commercial as they get. First, Ziff Davis basically puts a lot of people's lives in jeopardy by selling 1UP to them, then most of the 1UP staff gets shafted in the worst way possible and now, EGM is being scrapped totally and forever!?!?</p> <p>I have been reading EGM since 1994 and it's the best thing that comes to my mailbox. It is such a travesty and the workers at EGM and 1UP don't deserve to have their lives turned upside down like this. I stopped going to the Gamespot website for their stupid politics and it looks like I won't be coming here as much. 1UP will never be the same ans might as be well be the online extension to wack ass G4TV.</p> <p>Good luck to everyone at EGM and the staff of 1UP. You guys were great and I sure as hell will miss the awesome podcasts,articles, reviews and contests. RIP EGM and I will hold on to all the issues I ever got from them. Fuck you, UGO! And Ziff Media can take a  leap, head first, off the tallest bridge in the world!!</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this

I know and studied all about it in college as a journalism major, of course, but it's just one of those things that you never expect to really impact you in a way that really matters to you.  What a bummer. :(</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988458','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988458);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988458"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988449"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5544837"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=2727963" alt="Flood_Sgt_Johnson" title="Flood_Sgt_Johnson" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Goodbye EGM</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5544837" class="bold">Flood_Sgt_Johnson</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Only in the last few years have I started subscribing to EGM, but ever since I first recieved an issue, I've loved it.

Are u serious? Sounds more like a cologne than a media website.</p> <p>I dont know how their business model operated for them to even summon up penny.</p> <p>One thing is for sure, when the 1up show came it owned all video game shows. Soon even companies like IGN tried to compete by making their own shows but nothing close ever surfaced. The crew will be missed.</p> <p>Perhaps UGO thought if they kept all the employees then those employees who may hate their new superiors. Rather, start fresh and have employees who are greatful for a position and pray they dont get fired.</p> <p>What smucks u end up hiring, i'm sure they will do their best to continue developement at 1up. I suppose people should welcome the new employees with open arms but the feeling of losing the heart and soul of the company being the talented people is hard to bear.</p> <p>"I dont want a new dog, i

of the most popular things on this site is a huge mistake. </p> <p>1UP Yours has been the only podcast I've ever listened to on a consistent basis.  The cast was funny and was able to offer genuinely intelligent insight into a stereotypically unintelligent field.  It was honestly the first thing I listened to every Monday when I got to work.  While I wasn't as faithful to The 1UP Show, I always respected their work and watched the segments that garnered my attention. </p> <p>I'm not sure what UGO has planned for the future but I think they need to seriously reevaluate the decision to end these shows.  It would be a detriment to the videogaming community and to the health of this site, as well.  Honestly, it doesn't make business sense.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a

seems like forever now and I'm sad to see so many talented individuals losing their jobs.  I hope 1up will be able to survive with the great crew that it did keep and I also hope that everyone who lost their job will be able to quickly find new work, especially in these desperate financial times.</p> <p>That being said, this is a horrible time for many former employees and just about everyone in the community.  I know it is easy to get upset (we all are) and start placing blame but honestly at least 1up still exists.  While the situation isn't great it could have been much worse.  All of you who are getting pissed at UGO and vowing never to return the site definitley aren't helping the few remaining crew members keep their jobs.  If you loved 1up and EGM as much as you say you once did then continue to support those who are left that helped make them what they once were.  Good luck 1up and everyone who is left, I will certainly continue supporting you and will forever hope for a return to the glory days.  For every current employee, keep up the great work.  For everyone who lost their jobs, you will be greatly missed and my fingers are crossed hoping that you quickly find new employment in the industry.   </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for

shame.  And podcasts gone?  Granted I don't listen to podcasts as a whole, but I always appreciated the fact they're there.  Doesn't sound like the change of parent is off to a good start.  Let's hope 1Up can have some clout in getting that "honest" look out of the ignorance. :/</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this

The site I can live without at the end of the day, the Podcasts won't easily be replaced, if ever.</p> <p>UGO sucks, have a look at their website - it's really bad. 1UP Crew that got laid off are probably better off elsewhere anyway. Maybe a blessing in disguise.</p> <p>What is pretty amazing is, that in the US you get laid off just like that - in my country, you'd get 30 days notice at least plus they'd have to have a really good reason as in you weren't doing your job properly to actually fire you. Otherwise you can't be fired, it's actually really hard to be fired. Employees are really well protected and this all seems a little unfair and here it would be unconstitutional.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988205','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988205);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988205"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988199"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5862550"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3301292" alt="slongway" title="slongway" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Boo.</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5862550" class="bold">slongway</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Already miss the podcasts.  I really enjoyed them.  Apparently Parish will keep doing Retronauts on a more limited basis, don't know about any of the other podcasts.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988199','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988199);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988199"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988191"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5848378"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3240027" alt="The_Muslim_Man" title="The_Muslim_Man" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>This has to be</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5848378" class="bold">The_Muslim_Man</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>one of the worst things to happen.

You were the last Magazine with any integrity left. The whole industry has gone too corporate for my taste now. I remember the days when gaming used to be such a grass roots community, in many ways it still is, but you have to look harder to find it. I hope the wonderfully-talented and entertaining staff at EGM moves on to greener pastures and perhaps, they can lend their influence to other existing gaming publications. I will keep and eye out for you guys in the near future, best of luck to you all!</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988152','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988152);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988152"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988142"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5801777"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3536772" alt="JokerZ" title="JokerZ" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>I feel sick</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5801777" class="bold">JokerZ</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I've been a subscriber to EGM for over 10 years, since I was a grade schooler.  No matter what was going on in my world, I could always count on that next issue of EGM in my mailbox next month.  Hearing EGM being uncerimoniously dumped into the garbage, a piece of me died with the mag. </p> <p>And the podcasts too!  My eager anticipation for the next episodes of all the 1UP podcasts could only be matched by my aformentioned love of EGM.  That's another piece of me that died.</p> <p>I didn't want to pass a hot-headed, passionate judgement on UGO until I'd had time to digest what this takeover would really mean.  But after processing this info, I just feel like my family has been ripped from my arms. </p> <p>Fuck whoever it was that decided all these moves were a good idea.  They're not.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988142','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988142);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988142"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988136"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5948049"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3542923" alt="Zutonic" title="Zutonic" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Why?</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5948049" class="bold">Zutonic</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>1UP was fine, and now it is ruined. *sadmustache*</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988136','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988136);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988136"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988131"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5538689"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=1595004" alt="fatbasket" title="fatbasket" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Celebrate what exactly?</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5538689" class="bold">fatbasket</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Massive layoffs?

Now, it's a certainty.</p> <p>And UGO... good lord, they suck. Them being under Hearst explains that now. If 1UP was being pushed to generate clicks over substance before, we've seen nothing compared to what UGO management is going to be like.</p> <p>I suppose it's serendipity that just this past month I started queueing up the feeds from Gamers With Jobs; Rock, Paper, Shotgun; and Gamasutra in my news reader. I am really going to miss the 1UP personalities and great dialogues on the videos and podcasts, though.</p> <p>Jeebus! Ditching producers, like Ryan, Matt, and Skip? WTF are these big brains thinking? The openings and delivery from the last two seasons of the 1UP Show were fucking awesome! (Better than any mainstream television sequences, imo.) The content and production has continually got better and better across the network.</p> <p>Hopefully, everyone lands on their feet and the people who remain can continue to create solid content without too much interference.

For the past few years I did. But it seems that the music has died. I remember when other giants had fallen, IGN was once a pristine place on the net, with N64.com (IGN64.com), PSM Online, Saturn World, and eventually IGN Dreamcast. But then IGN lost its personal touch by going after every kind of male oriented entertainment with quantity being the new rule.</p> <p><br/>Then I drifted around until Next-Generation.com became Daily Radar.com. Say what you will about Daily Radar, it may have had some bad essays here and there, but it did have that personal touch that IGN had forgotten about. Then the dot-com bubble burst, taking Daily Radar with it.</p> <p><br/>Then I drifted some more, but eventally found my way to 1UP.com by way of Penny Arcade, and for five years or so 1UP provided the personal touch that once was felt at IGN and Daily Radar. Now from what I have heard, the personal touch has left the building. How sad.</p> <p><br/>Sort of like when G4TV bought out Tech TV and destroyed everything in their wake, except X-Play..

Matt, you polished that bald head well man. Tina, I really like your taste in music and your attitude, but you're still gonna be here, and for that, I feel for you. You really need to add me on PSN, I sent you that request a billion years ago, jerk.</p> <p>I'ts hard to deal with. Hopefully, you guys will all vent in the Loop on G4, and I hope that you all come together to form a site just like Giantbomb. A site where you can just feel the authenticity, honesty, and intergrity. A place where you share your personal opinions about games, and you're not forced to give good reviews to shitty games, like any of the huge corporate owned websites .... IGN, Gamespot. Yea thats right, I said it... I didn't cough those words out, I fucking said em.</p> <p>It was definitely great while it lasted. You will all survive to see something greater. I live in New York and I just got laid off, so I feel for you guys. But everybody knows your names, like Cheers. I'll have a drink for ya.</p> <p>PSN - SimSeezy</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988096','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988096);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988096"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988094"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5927273"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/images/game/missing_avatar_sm.jpg" alt="Gacktodesu" title="Gacktodesu" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Good luck in the future.

No other magazine has had the rich history. No other magazine can claim to be “The US Famitsu”. No other magazine has continually covered the fierce, hardcore circles that have developed around games such as the Street Fighter series, Phantasy Star Online series, Socom series, Soul Calibur series and many more. It’s a huge blow to videogames in general. EGM and 1Up.com were “the gamer’s voice”, asking the questions that we would ask, making suggestions we would make.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ever since I can remember, while other magazines and web-sites were paid off, stifling editorial content, and firing editors for low-score reviews (Gamespot, pathetic), EGM and 1Up were doing it up righteous. In recent years, the EGM / 1Up combo felt like the oasis from the garbage pile of videogame “journalism”. While other magazines and web-sites continue to cover games as the magazines of yesteryear did, that is, functioning as a press release rather than objective reporting, EGM and 1Up did not.<br/> <br/> The renaissance saw the birth of The 1Up Show, the BEST videogame show ever made. The great podcasts, Broken Pixels with Seanbaby! Hell, I saw a goddamn PC-FX in an episode of Broken Pixels - that’s some hardcore shit. The 1Up Show delved into the tournament scenes, the imports, the minute details; not to mention is was just fun to watch.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br/> EGM has the kind of past any of the current magazines envy greatly. It’s rich history includes the hilarious, yet telling review of Total Recall, The Top 100 Games, the various Mortal Kombat / Street Fighter / fighters, Dreamcast, and online coverage. They had a section dedicated to Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast for a while! A section for Socom, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, Soul Calibur, <span> </span>etc. Anything with a hardcore following was given special consideration, where no other publication would.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">EGM has also influenced the biggest games we play. April Fool’s rumors for Shenlong in SF2, Sonic and Tails in Smash Bros. played a role in making these things happen for real.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">1Up had interviews with the biggest developers, musicians, artists, programmers, producers and directors candidly discussing life and games.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Interviews with Takahashi Meijin, David Sirlin, Ryan Payton, Nobuo Uematsu, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Yoshitaka Amano, <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Cliff Bleszinski</span></span>,Yoshiki Yokamoto,<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> Goichi Suda, Takashi Iizuka</span></span>; you won’t see things like this anymore. 1Up and EGM didn’t feel like a controlled publication, it felt like a bunch of real gamers doing their thing. It felt fun, it felt informative, entertaining, REAL… in retrospect, perhaps too much so. There’s apparently no room in the current atmosphere for this sentiment. Reading comments on various boards has people complaining that you guys stopped providing the big reveals, and that you “sucked”. When I saw comments criticizing an A+ review for HD Remix, I knew things had gone too far. A lot of people don’t understand, the big reveals will always be on the net first. Besides that, there is a lot of paying off and mutual dealmaking that goes on to get them. What 1Up and EGM did was provide coverage without the need for such gimmicks. Plus, what the hell, some of the biggest reveals in recent times HAVE come from EGM. Street Fighter 4 being one that immediately comes to mind. Christ.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It gave equal coverage to games and systems, regardless of popularity or origin. N64, Saturn and Dreamcast were always taken seriously. I never detected any bias in all my years of reading the magazine.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I really wonder if people “get it” anymore. Things are getting more and more commercialized. Gamers are forgetting the core titles of yesteryear. Keep reading Gamepro, Game Informer, Gamespot and the rest. If you like these outlets, then you have no idea what you’ve missed and you’re better off that way.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">This isn’t about pretension. It’s not about “hardcore or nothing”. It’s not “I know more obscure Japanese / European titles than you”. It was about fun. It was about why we play games.<span>  </span>It was how and why games were enjoyable. EGM / 1Up had something for everyone. It covered the big games, but also made sure to cover the small dev houses and communities.. It never came off as holier-than-thou.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I was concerned when Hsu left but honestly, things only got even better. People speak of “the glory years” of EGM, but there were nothing BUT glory years for it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Seanbaby and Sushi-X forever.</p> </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8988094','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8988094);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8988094"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8988089"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5493005"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=1219329" alt="DickDastardly" title="DickDastardly" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>???</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5493005" class="bold">DickDastardly</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Who the fuck is UGO?

Over time, everything can and will be commodified. Like how people say, 'back in the 70s man, it was just about the music, these bands nowadays aren't shit.' But then once major labels step in and buy everything, it all becomes the fucking Jonas Brothers and Hinder and shit. I'm sure skate kids and graf writers are pissed when popular culture appropriates some of the aspects of their culture too. Anyone can walk into a mall now and buy a Volcom shirt. That shit is wack, you used to have to go to a skate shop for real skate gear. Yes, games are going that way. Which means we will be the old 'back in my day, you had to hold in the reset button to save your game!' cranky gamers. But that's fine with me. 1up and EGM will be sorely missed. I actually just read the list of firings and I am shocked.

EGM is shutting down??? Omg what the hell!!! That was the only magazine i ever trusted. I have had my subscription since 1995!! But instead of ranting and raving though, i thought i would share my fond EGM memories. i remember those good old days of EGM when the newbies of the review crew were Shawn Smith, Crispin Boyer, Dan Hsu and Sushi X.</p> <p>My first issue was the Oct 95 issue with MK3 on the cover. I picked it up in the airport and at the time i was a huge GamePro fan and thought EGM was crap, then over time Gamepro got lame and EGM got more hardcore and less kiddy. I remember when Ed Semrad was Editor in chief and then John Davidson came in and everone teased him for being british haha. i remember the awesome articles, the comraderie of the staff and their passion and dedication to gaming. I was there when EGM broke the first word on Street Fighter III, Tekken 3, The playstation 2, the first details on the Dreamcast.....the countdown lists....Hsu's former hatred of "Doom Clones", the bomberman tournaments, the soul calibur 1 battles, the NFL Blitz craze that swept the staff..... and who can forget the amazingly awesome (or cruel) april fools jokes? can any magazine say that their tricks were so popular in pop culture that game companies made them a reality? (Sonic in SSB and Sheng Long in SF4) remember the "All bonds Cheat" for goldeneye? The amazing E3 coverage, the funny stuff from Seanbaby and Hsu and Chan.......I remember when Dan took over as Editor in chief i knew then that i only needed one magazine subscription (although i had gameinformer cuz that crap was practically givin away at gamestop....) for the forseeable future. Then we had the birth of 1up.com, the place for the EGM crew and friends to keep it real. I always admired their honestly over at EGM, their refusal to conform and be bullied and pressured by Publishers. I admire Dan Hsu's editorial integrity to call out bullshit on other mags and others in the industry when they betrayed their readers trust.</p> <p>I remember the infamous "nude code" from tomb raider that was in the gaming minds of all of us back then, i remember having to hide my EGM issue that had TR2 on it because they gave you links to look up nekkid lara pics lol...</p> <p>I remember all of the cool covers and interviews, specials, countdowns and the pervasive authenticity of the magazine. This was a publication made, ran and loved by true hardcore gamers. Those of us who graduated from the The Class of NES and still play today and all the new comers over the years, EGM and 1up will be missed and once this deal is through and the layoffs happen, i will no longer be on this site.</p> <p>I miss when gaming was a niche hobby of a few geeks and kids.....now its a billion dollar corporate monstrosity which caters to everyone and their grandma with watered down shit shovelware and clones and sequels of shit we been playing for decades. Magazines have gone from being a collection of cool gaming goodness to nothing but giant advertisments, spin, and PR.</p> <p>I hope to find the tallent that UGO is ditching somewhere else in the future and i hope we will all show our support and solidarity for those laid off. As these corporate whores ruin yet another medium with mediocrity gaming and its culture is looking more and more by the numbers and sterile then ever before....</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>RIP EGM 1989-2009</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for

still remember getting my first issue that unveiled the N64 and I read that thing front to back so many times that I wore it out...I was really disappointed when they decided to change their rating system to a grade based format and then they started reviewing movies and it just didn't seem like EGM anymore.  My interest in the magazine has waned somewhat over the years and I feel like the staff has gotten progressively worse, but I still bought the damn thing every time I saw it at the store because it was EGM and it was like seeing an old friend again every time I laid my eyes on it.  This is just too terrible...Hopefully we'll be seeing all of the familiar EGM staff in some sort of endeavor in the near future, but it will never be the same.  My condolences to all.  </p> <p> </p> <p>Oh

That's like watching an episode of the simpsons, without Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie. THATS FUCKING STUPID.</p> <p>I for one, out of sheer principle, will not be visiting this site again. This shit sucks ass. Sure, I liked Tina's dry ass remarks and yea, she's moderately attractive, but I aint come to this site only to see a fully dressed chick who likes video games. I'll watch Jo Garcia play the wii in her underwear if I wanna scratch that itch. I was here for Shane and Nick and all the rest of the fuckin people that started this EGM shit.

Unlike some of the lumbering, impersonal behemoths out there, 1UP is all about its personalities, and its fans are awesome, passionate and willing to fight to the death over whether Final Fantasy X2 was an abomination or a triumph. It’s an honor to bring that passion into the UGO fold. We are like-minded in our love of video games and I plan on welcoming them to the family by kicking their collective asses in <em>Street Fighter IV</em>. <br/> <br/> Speaking specifically of the team over there, Sam Kennedy and his crew at 1UP are the most hardcore of hardcore gamers.  Cut them and they bleed pixels.  There isn’t a better site out there to help UGO realize our vision of being the definitive voice in gaming. <br/> <br/> Sam and I are already talking about all the cool things we can do together between epic Dhalsim v. Zangief matches. I can tell you that we’re going to own E3 this year. Our shared goal, our sole mission, is to make your head explode over and over again as we bring you the best video game coverage on the web. At the heart of all this madness is a desire to help 1UP do what they do best..."owning the conversation” when it comes to video games.</p> <p>I am never returning to this site, or UGO's. I hope UGO goes fu*king bankrupt.</p> <p>R.I.P. 1up, it was great while it lasted.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987875','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987875);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987875"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987870"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5628295"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=2475738" alt="blinkmetoys" title="blinkmetoys" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>this sucks...</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5628295" class="bold">blinkmetoys</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>A 1up without Shane is like a console without a controller....pointless</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987870','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987870);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987870"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987855"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6002499"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3665399" alt="WenchesAndAle" title="WenchesAndAle" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Hearst Corporation</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6002499" class="bold">WenchesAndAle</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>The name says it all....</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987855','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987855);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987855"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987850"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5623111"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3079841" alt="mandy_reeves_hi_mike" title="mandy_reeves_hi_mike" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>NOOOOooOOOOOoooOOOO not EGM!!!! omg</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5623111" class="bold">mandy_reeves_hi_mike</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p><strong>What am I supposed to read on the toilet now!

I listen to most podcasts from both sites, and truly enjoy hearing the different views, and hearing the different personalities go back and forth.</p> <p>Reading the list of people laid-off, I wonder how the articles and podcasts are going to be now that most of the main players are gone. I can get the information on video games from a million places. It was the WAY in which the information was delivered, as well as the PEOPLE giving the information that kept me coming back to 1up time and again.</p> <p>I also can't believe EGM is no more. Seanbaby's articles made me laugh out loud every month (he even got my wife, a non-gamer, to laugh). I remember finding a copy of their 100th issue in an airplane on a college trip years ago, where they counted down the 100 greatest games of all time. I became a fan immediately, and still have that issue back at my mom's house.</p> <p>I understand that this move could make business sense at the moment, but seeing so many personalities go, makes me hesitant to keep coming back. If any of the people fired end up elsewhere, I will certainly follow you there, to keep up with your antics.</p> <p>To 1up and EGM, thank you for everything, and good, good luck. I am so sad.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987812','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987812);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987812"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987801"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5903556"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/images/game/missing_avatar_sm.jpg" alt="GrooveServer" title="GrooveServer" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>The 1upyours podcast was my favorite Podcast</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5903556" class="bold">GrooveServer</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I honestly can believe the impact of Ziff Davis on my life.  First they sell off ZDTV.  That led to ¨the screen savers"being bastardized.

You will be missed guys, and I hope UGO realizes soon what a fuck-up they've made of this whole situation.</p> <p>-Tryenamy</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987721','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987721);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987721"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987716"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5560916"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=2613416" alt="atticus14" title="atticus14" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>My first post, I think.</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5560916" class="bold">atticus14</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>"The acquisition of 1UP, with its authentic voice, tenured editorial personalities...."</p> <p> </p> <p>too bad you just fired the authentic voice, and tenured editorial personalities part.

Open up a paper or listen to the news. When another company takes over another company what do you think happens. Mass layoffs. Companies in general want to make money and need to cut to make back what they spent to buy such company. I speak from working at a coporate industry. So its not a matter of that they are talented or not all these layoffs is nother personal it is just business</p> <p>I hate to hear about anyone getting laid off but it happens and chances are the people that get let go are the ones you hate to see go.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987705','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987705);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987705"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987694"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5914991"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3867736" alt="beedlej00z" title="beedlej00z" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Oh noes!!!!</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5914991" class="bold">beedlej00z</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Please please please...... this is NOT good news.

Period. I can get my news anywhere. I've always followed multple media outlets. What UGO has done is cut out two-thirds of the heart of this place and turned it into a nearly souless press center. I still can't fathom what fucking idiot decided to ax the podcasts and video crew. Seriously. I don't know, I understand finances are a powerful bitch and maybe these productions are prohibitively expensive, but if they think the readership numbers will stay the same with no differentiating content, they are in for a sore ass over the next few months.

I hope things work out well in the end for everyone who was laid off.</p> <p>It seems very foolish of UGO to acquire such a beloved brand only to immediately remove the vast majority of what made it special.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987305','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987305);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987305"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8987303"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5790336"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3556098" alt="SpikeDelight" title="SpikeDelight" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>This is probably the worst site to start controversey on</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5790336" class="bold">SpikeDelight</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Think about it, 1UP is comprised of ALL tech-savvy hardcore gamers who do copious amounts of internet research, not to mention the radicals on /ahem/ who are probably brewing something as well. My point here is, nobody on this site is ignorant enough to just blindly go with your little coup, UGO so you really shot yourself in the foot. Everybody is either going to leave or wait for the site to crash and burn and then leave. The gaming community is probably the worst community to attempt to pull this shit on.

is a sad day. I doubt this site will be the same. I loved the 1up show, I even saw you guys at GDC for a few years, and at various video game related events in the San Francisco area. I am really saddened by the fact that both my favorite magazine and favorite podcast are now both out of production. I hope that you all end up finding work somewhere in the field much like Digg and other endeavors seemed to rise from the ashes of TechTV when it merged with G4. Thank you for everything you have done to make 1up and EGM some of the best sources in video game news, reviews and previews.

this is that UGO isn't going to give a SHIT about ANY of these pissed off comments. </p> <p>Not a single fucking soul is going to pay any mind to the fact that what's probably the last bastion of good gaming discussion and journalism is now finally gone without a proper sendoff.  EGM was my childhood.  I'm 24 and I've been reading it since I was 8.  It's always been a good read from good people who are passionate about games and never sat around to be bought by evil game publishers.  It was minimum BS all the time.</p> <p><br/>All of these comments will eventually be scrubbed, but the seething rage that the community has won't die.  There are all the comments on all the social networking sites.  Fark, Digg, Reddit, Delicious, your forum of choice.  There's no one who is cheerfully embracing this.  The only embracing is going to be happening reluctantly, and that's no way to start off a transition.</p> <p><br/>I haven't read anything UGO in years, but apparently it's pissed off a lot of people too.  I hate seeing these sound bites were people are like "we're excited at the opportunity..."  In this context the only people who've shoveled bigger piles of BS are in the US Government.  The gaming community is angry, resentful, and hurt at this.</p> <p><br/>1up/EGM are going out with a whimper, and that's the last thing that any of the staff ever could have wanted.</p></div> <div

This site is the first site on my quickbar. I will not longer visit the site, and I will cancel my subscription to the magazine.

the past few years.  They had a huge amount of outstanding debt, and that was no one's fault but their own.  I also hate UGO for coming in and tearing this company apart.  Sure, there were some rough times here--I didn't like EGM much for a couple years until Milkman took the reigns because they mostly started covering popular games, which I think was one of the reasons for declining sales since mostly hardcore gamers read that mag.  For the most part though, that magazine was great.  I'm gonna miss everything in it from the reviews to Seanbaby.  I had a feeling Shoe, Crispin, and many other editors left for a reason.</p> </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for

What the fuck, UGO? Who the fuck are you to buy these great guys out and kick the most credible and amazing staff in the business? Who or what the fuck are you asstards trying to prove to the rest of us? Are you trying to go for the almighty dollar by buying these guys out? Do think that even 5% of us will keep our subscriptions after this bullshit? What the FUCK kind of first impression is this, you fuckwits? And who the hell are you, anyway? UGO has, and always will be, the Mr. Me Too of the entertainment business. I hope you drown in this shitwater you have just pissed for yourself.</p> <p>You have simultaneously shot yourselves in the the balls, foot and head for this, and I don't give a fuck if you guys want to come on here to say 'everything's gonna be fine.' It isn't!!! I actually want to hear from you asstards. I want to see you guys come on here, on these boards and explain just what the hell you were thinking in deleting this kickass publication. But I know you wont, you pussies.</p> <p>To the staff of 1up and EGM, for the love of Christ I pray that you all will find credible jobs in the industry, whether they be publication or otherwise. Please don't let all this get you good folks down, I know some of you have families to feed, so continue to do what you do best and I'm sure that many of us will be following whatever personal blogs you all have available. The best of luck to you all.</p> <p>So, Ulitmately Gay Owners, explanation please?</p> <p> </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8987000','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8987000);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8987000"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986997"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5778641"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=2999363" alt="WestCoastExpress" title="WestCoastExpress" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Sad, sad, sad day......</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5778641" class="bold">WestCoastExpress</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I grew up with this magazine in the 90's....they always had integrity and honesty and weren't afraid to rip bad games. If it wasn't for this mag I doubt I would have the passion for this hobby that I enjoy now. I was tempted to give UGO the benefit of the doubt, but after reading all the layoffs they have done (essentially gutting the personalities) I cannot support this network any longer. Shame on you UGO for trashing such a great team, and all the best to those who lost your jobs. Honesty is a value not placed very high on the priority list by these types, and I will be looking for the PERSONALITIES, not the name brand for my game news fix in the future. Enjoy your brand name UGO, because I won't be.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for

This better not be the future of gaming journalism.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986753','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986753);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986753"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986744"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5907983"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3594592" alt="hyperslug" title="hyperslug" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>?!? wtf</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5907983" class="bold">hyperslug</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I heard about this through the shanewatch feed what the crap.

This is a total turn over of veteran staff.</p> <p>To quote Ryan, "What the hell?"</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986689','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986689);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986689"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986681"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=2864285"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3601913" alt="SmackmYackm" title="SmackmYackm" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>AStrangeDisease....</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=2864285" class="bold">SmackmYackm</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Are you really that dense?

 Or maybe they're in the other media business that doesn't care about quality.  You, Hearst, win the FAIL trophy for 2009.  </p> <p>Personally, I will discontinue my subscription to Hearst magazine Esquire since it's obviously for toolbags now anyway.  I'll boycott everything Hearst that I can.  wtf is UGO anyway.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986662','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986662);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986662"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986659"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5860316"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3677660" alt="AStrangeDisease" title="AStrangeDisease" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Are you illiterate?</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5860316" class="bold">AStrangeDisease</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Nobody said anything about job cuts.

people lose their jobs at 1up.com after UGO Entertainment taking over after buying them. What I am going to miss the most is the podcast like 1up Yours, EGM Live and its successor 1UP FM, The 1up Show(even though I didn't much care for it), and lastly Retronauts as well as the staff that can't be replaced. Whatever staff remains at UGO well good luck to because your the ones who still have jobs while the close to 40  staff who either work for the website/EGM or behind the scenes have to find jobs somewhere else. Whats shocking is how this was suppose to be a joyful celebration which turned into a pink slip party. Good luck to those who were affected by this event but I hope that we won't see the last of them because they could start a new website similar to 1up.com and continue with the same quality or almost the same as 1up had.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986467','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986467);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986467"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986465"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5457787"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3668496" alt="tikesbikes06" title="tikesbikes06" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>I think we should take a second and CHILL</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5457787" class="bold">tikesbikes06</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>This event is miserable but we are just screaming at people when few of us know any real reason or back story. Like one of the people just said, this is a problem of the economy. GFW closed down months before this and also prior to this EGM was scheduled to terminate. What if UGO came to keep 1up alive? Sure it sucks to see your favorite writers leave, but its not like UGO actually killed them. Shane even posted on his blog about a relocation and i am sure many others have similar plans. No one is asking you to betray past employees of 1up, just chill out when you don't even know the solid circumstances. Shane did not sound too distressed and did not even vocalized any hatred to UGO, so why should you? Today everything is business, though it may be sad, that's how it is. These writers are laid off, but they will probably still be on the scene and with this many loyal fans, why should they be sad...LOOK AT THEIR SUPPORT! What about an average american father laid off from his only job, in charge of family, that is truly a sad day. People who are saying that this is the worst day of their life should maybe turn on the news. I love 1up and i love the people who are still working here, so hear me out! I will stay on 1up and appreciate the works of Garnet and Jeremy; but i will also follow up on others like Shane and Milky... a crazy idea, but i think it just be work out.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986465','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986465);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986465"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986464"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6017569"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/images/game/missing_avatar_sm.jpg" alt="Anon8910" title="Anon8910" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>This is to the staff that got laid off...</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6017569" class="bold">Anon8910</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110912163140/http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/ashiva89108910/?action=view&current=1-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20110912163140im_/http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/ashiva89108910/1-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a></p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986464','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986464);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986464"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986463"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5495801"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=2876929" alt="BodModKub" title="BodModKub" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>That's it for me...</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5495801" class="bold">BodModKub</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I'll be joining the group that leaves this site.  The 1up show and 1up yours were my favorite podcasts and made walking portion of my commute bearable.  As for EGM, I've been reading it since issue 1 (still have my copy of it actually), and I'm very sad to see it go.  It was the only gaming magazine that was truly unbiased, and tailored for the adult gamer. </p> <p><br/>I hope you see the error of your ways UGO.  I suspect 1up will become a ghost town soon.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986463','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986463);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986463"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986459"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5448118"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3662009" alt="Bruknam" title="Bruknam" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Great.....</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5448118" class="bold">Bruknam</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>It saddens me to hear the news that one of the greatest, probably of all time, sites of gaming journalism will never be the same due to this buyout. Where am I going to go every friday for my daily dose of the 1upshow? I was looking forward to the rest of the episodes after the hiatus. This totally blows. I can't forget the great podcasts. I remember listening it to Luke Smith and Shane fighting like fanboys. It's been a great run. Hopefully we'll see you guys together again, probably in a different form. You guys are an inspiration to many gamers and Journalists combined. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

I feel like i was with friends every time i listened. Your podcasts reminded me of a short time in my life when i was actualy happy, when i had friends. And now that its all gone, i will shed tears for the great times i felt like i was apart of by listening to your podcasts. But most of all i will miss the few hours of happiness i would get each time i listened to your podcasts. They have been the only thing that has made me smile, made me happy, and made my depression go away.

past 2 years via podcast.  The 1up staff housed some of the most smart minds in games journalism and I'm a bit perplexed you couldn't see that.  I'm sure you have your reasons and I'm sure your own staff is great, but it just doesn't feel fair.  Best of luck to UGO in this space, but it will take a very, very long time to earn my trust and respect.  Now I have to find podcasts to fill the cold, damp void that you've left me with.</p> <p><br/>Sigh...</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for

the most respected gaming sites/magazines in the industry. the 1up show was my absolute favorite podcast and was extremely popular and widely downloaded on itunes. Why would you mess with that? I have not even head of UGO, and now I will be sure to avoid it at all costs. Unless of course, this site and the 1up show will continue on.... otherwise, ciao baby</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986167','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986167);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986167"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986165"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5792522"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/images/game/missing_avatar_sm.jpg" alt="HyruleHero" title="HyruleHero" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Suck ass, more than a Dyson enema.

Never listened to their podcast, never understood the idolatry for "Shane" or "Jeremy", never seen a show. I always preferred industry-oriented sites than consumer ones.</p> <p>However, one cannot be happy when so many lose jobs because of the decisions of a third. As an old gamer (who was paying attention to consoles when the Master System launched, for example), seeing a magazine almost as old as my interest in games closing is sad. I wish all those gone as well as all those staying the best.

I don't know what to say. About the only person not on the hitlist is Garnett. This hit me like a ton of bricks. 1up yours was truly one of the highlights of my week, a great source of entertainment and information. To say I'm angry would be an understatement. To those who decided that buying 1up and then dismissing all those talented people who made it what it was, you are making a mistake! To all those who were let go, I'm so sorry. I've listened to your shows, read you articles and reviews, I feel as if I know many of you in a wierd way. Please try to get the word out to your fans and let us know where you end up. Good luck to you all.

I come here for thoughtful content on video games--if UGO wished me to continue to come here, they would retain those that produced the content that I liked. They didn't, however, which is why I doubt I'll have reason to read this site in the future. The list of those that seem to be getting laid off includes many of the voices that bring me back to read 1UP. This is really ashame, not only for 1UP editors but for everyone who has enjoyed their insights into games and their knack for putting together good content.</p> <p><br/>Ultimately, I would like to thank everyone at 1UP. I guess I'll have to figure something else out when I need to see a well-thought out preview video or a review of a game.

They're a big part of what what makes 1UP.com popular. The reviews and preview content are big, but what Gamespot learned the hard way is what keeps people coming to a site is content by people they recognize - as shown by a decrease in traffic to that site following Gerstmann getting fired.</p> <p>Cut to now.</p> <ol> <li>First, we've got layoffs - potentially leading to some of the recognizable "faces" of 1UP getting fired.</li> <li>Second, EGM Magazine is getting canceled - meaning that one of the ways that the faces of 1UP.com can interact with readers has been removed - though that's not too damaging, considering the face of print these days.</li> <li>Third, 1UP Yours and The 1UP Show are canceled - this <em>is very</em> damaging. This cuts back on the number of ways the "faces" of the 1UP network can interact with readers in two major and important aspects - that's one less way we can actually hear them, and we lose (basically) the only way we can <em>see</em> them. Sight and Sound are very important cues to people, and there's research to back that up.</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p>Will the site survive this? Probably. Will there be a not-insignificant readership hit? Definitely. Will I stop reading the site? Not right away. I'll give it a little time first, but if the site starts sucking, and we don't get something to replace the lost podcasts that will fill that gap, I'll be walking. Oh, and I had a paid membership at Gamespot, by the way - and canceled that after Gertsmann and Navarro (and others) left, for 1up. Don't know where I'll be going from here. Maybe Giant Bomb.</p> <p>For now, I'm going to trust the people at 1UP not to fuck this up. But, to paraphrase the 10th Doctor - "I used to have so much mercy... You've got one warning, that was it."</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8986056','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8986056);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8986056"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8986053"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6007653"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3842522" alt="saddestswansong" title="saddestswansong" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Absurd.</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6007653" class="bold">saddestswansong</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Not only did you get rid of the best parts of the site, but you also got rid of the most interesting personalities that made the site worth visiting.

I also hope UGO's aquisition of 1UP will ultimately result in good content, since they feel the need to get rid of a lot of features and personel.</p> <p><br/>Many of the comments on this article are quite disturbing. I don't mind if people who make comments like that will be leaving this community. Everyone should remember that this is a business above all else - without proper financial support, it won't last long.

If 1up changes, I'm gone. </p> <p>3. This announcement comes on the heels of recent news of the best indie record shop in my city closing its doors for good on 2/1/09.</p> <p>4. I have never heard of UGO in my life.</p> <p> </p> <p>Of course, who knows what will happen in the coming months aside from the heads at UGO.

This is truly a sad day and my heart goes to all of you at 1up. I grew up with this group of people and they made me feel like there was someone that could understand this passion for videogames. I wont turn into Mr. Creepy fascination with Ziff davis but i really need to say how sad I am. You were a important part of my day. My escapism will never be the same. Those podcast that brighten my day wont relax me with their mix of expertize, blabbery and alcohol. Well, it was fucking fun. Hope you get some kick ass jobs like Shawn and Jeff. UGO or whatever company fired you can burn in hell. They will understand later how big of a douches they are when they realiza what theyve lost.</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8985839','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8985839);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8985839"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8985838"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5620085"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3669359" alt="RawDogginIt" title="RawDogginIt" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>EGM</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5620085" class="bold">RawDogginIt</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>I can't believe EGM's gone.  I've been reading it since issue 3 and it's the only video game mag I read to this day.  This sucks ass. </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8985838','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8985838);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8985838"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8985836"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5411281"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3771334" alt="NintenJoe" title="NintenJoe" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Ugh</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5411281" class="bold">NintenJoe</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>Okay, first...

You want me to CELEBRATE that there will never be another 1up show produced?</p> <p>Look, I get that this had to happen for whatever buisiness reason. I get it. But to suggest that we should celebrate the fact that EGM will never print another issue? To CELEBRATE that... that... I'm too mad. This newspost is a disservice to the honesty and candor that made this site what it is today, that made it WORTH whatever Ziff-Davis sold it for. This is where I come to hear it told as it is.  The dishonesty in suggesting that this is a cause for celebration is a clear sign of what is to come. The Truth Stopped Here today. Here before our very eyes we have the New 1up Regeime <b>trying to convince us that this is a good thing when it is clearly a bad thing.</b> Now, seeing as how I come here for suggestions as to <b>which games are good and which games are bad</b>, I have reason to worry. They are lying. You'll never see the content that you came here for again, and they want you to celebrate. How can we ever trust again? With the trust gone, and the wonderful non-review and editorial content gone as well, why would we ever return?</p> <p> </p> <p>Wherever you go, former 1up creative team circa 2005-2009, I will follow. We will follow. Keep doing what you did here, but do it somewhere else. Go indy. We will follow. We will follow with our comments and our add revenue and our post-mailed candy will feed you and your families when the going is tough. Continue to do what you do. Be true to what you have created here and build upon it. Reach out to your industry contacts and friends to promote this new venture when you are ready to launch. If you build it, we will come.

of some of the editors (if they get to stay).  Closing down EGM and the team producing it is bullshit.  I started subscribing to that mag in 1998 after realizing how terrible Nintendo Power was and loved it, with the exception of the last 3 years or so, but Milkman turned it around.  There was no more pink, and every cover was awesome.  I would have liked more RPG articles, but I loved reading that mag from cover to cover.  Where am I gonna get my Seanbaby fix now?  Ziff unfortunately had to sell because of the bad business decisions they'd been making the past few years.  I don't know what mag to get now...or maybe I'll just subscribe to IGN insider and look at Giantbomb? </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag

I'm so mad, the writers at 1up are awesome, and to take away their jobs like that is just ridiculous! Plus the death of the only magazine with any sort of entegrity left--EGM--is going down the pipes! I think I'm done with 1up. I still need to know all the info about the layoffs, so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Fuck you UGO!

I do not trust a single other magazine, as EGM is by FAR the only one that actually engages in real journalism when it comes to gaming. Why would you (UGO) buy a company you don't want?

cover to cover, drooling over all the screenshots and planning which games I was going to buy.  I guess I figured the magazine would always be around, even with the internet's ability to bring news as it happens.  Milky did a great job on the recent issues, so it's even more of a shame that the magazine's ending.  It will be missed.</p> <p>Also, I've enjoyed posting comments and reading those left by others (even some of the idiotic ones) here at 1up.  Hopefully the community will continue to thrive, but it will obviously go through some changes. </p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a

I guess we'll have to wait and see...</p> <p>With that said, what's going to happen to EGM?</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8985521','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8985521);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8985521"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8985520"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5789836"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3727718" alt="heck2halo" title="heck2halo" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>wow..</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5789836" class="bold">heck2halo</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>so does this mean no EGM? :(</p></div> <div class="blurb alignright"> <a href="#" onclick="confirmAndGo('Flag','Are you sure you want to flag this post for moderation?','8985520','articleComment');return(false);">Flag</a> | <a href="#" onclick="moveIt(8985520);return(false);">Reply</a> </div> <div id="post-8985520"></div> </div> <b class="rbox_gray7"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray1"></b> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="comment-8985519"></a> <ul> <li class="commentRoot_gray"> <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5903348"> <img src="/web/20110912163140im_/http://www.1up.com/media?id=3435462" alt="FiggnutsMark2" title="FiggnutsMark2" class="avatar"/> </a> </li> <li class="nest0"> <div class="rbox_gray"> <b class="rbox_gray1"></b><b class="rbox_gray2"></b><b class="rbox_gray3"></b><b class="rbox_gray4"></b><b class="rbox_gray5"></b><b class="rbox_gray6"></b><b class="rbox_gray7"></b> <div class="rbox_gray-contents"> <h4>Hum.</h4> <span class="timeStamp">Posted: userComment.createdDate by  <a href="/web/20110912163140/http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5903348" class="bold">FiggnutsMark2</a></span><br/> <div class="userComment"><p>EGM was one of the last sources of printed games journalism that I trusted.

forward to reading.  I hope UGO changes it's mind about closing EGM as I still feel that  it has a place in this world.  Just because there is the internets, doesn't mean there shouldn't be stuff written on paper for Christ's sake. </p> <p> </p> <p>Either way, I hope no one from 1Up is "sacrificed" in this aquisition, as the podcasts are literally a part of my day to day life.  Thanks for
