1UP Acquired by UGO; EGM Closed - Twitter Reactions

[rorylallin]

Well its kind of good that EGM is being put back into publication (according to wikipedia), but it just wont be the same without the original gang that made it so great in the first place.

[abehammy]

@rorylallin actually, it's being republished by the original creator and is gonna bring back some of the well-known writers including Seanbaby and Dan Hsu.

God damn, 1up show staff were amazing. But talent did not go to waste.

First issue i got was about, June 2003, rouge rebel squadron 3. O god how happy i was when my parents showed me what they got me, a subscription to the best damn video game magazine there is. Then just today i find out what happened, shame on me for not reading thoroughly threw it. I am now sad today.

[xbox6891]

damn i just found out today they shut down i had no idea. I had a subscription for about 5 years. i go to get the mail i see the back of a magazine, and i think its egm, and its maxim. And theres a sticker on it saying egm shutdown. Too bad i liked their reviews and just reading it. Fuck.

[Justsmoke42O]

Its so sad because egm was honestly the only videogame magazine that I truly, truly trusted. And now they are gone. Really sad...egm kinda was childhood to me. I read it every month, front to back, for YEARS. I know they started getting a little shabby over the years, but they were still the best magazine out. Really sad.

i cry everytime i watch this. it's a happy cry tho.

:(:(:(:(

I always tear up during the last minutes of GFW that was used at the end of this vid.

[nealho]

Aw shit, that Jeff Green ending got me.

[psmurf16]

It got me also :(

[CaptainHJ]

great choice of an ending, ihad no idea valve twittered about the loss, i guess losing more than 600,000 players on steam instantaneously sparked their attention.

[MrKryptonite000]

That ending...I think I shed a tear. Remembering the GFW. Those were good times.

[demonbox]

Thanks for putting the video together. At this point, at least those axed are seeing support. Some got donations. Now, how can they monatize it so that they can show 1Up what they were doing it wrong?

[Jatsu]

As others have said, that outro selection was genius! =) *shivers*

[nksoccer13]

bobito at the end is classic

[jehnubis]

Im not surprised to these fat cheese balls going down! Especially with that new cheesy ass intro that they put in place for the 1up show. 1up was a bunch of 30+ year old writers/editors acting like 12 year old kids! Yea, you 1up cheese balls get what you deserved!!

[dougtgraham]

For those who don't know, that last 10 seconds or so of humming/sobbing was the last 10 seconds of the legendary GFW radio. What a way to end a vid, good job man!

[Monkeystick]

this video represents how i spent my Monday evening.. reading twitter updates and cursing a lot

[YouEatTurds]

did Garnett Lee get fired?

[SonicBoyster]

Neg.  He's staying.

[YouEatTurds]

so even though Garnett's staying are they still killing 1up Yours?

[SonicBoyster]

Most of 1up yours was fired. He'll be working on another podcast but they aren't sure what it'll consist of yet.

[swift17]

OMG. That ending was perfect. Thanks man.

[piratapequeno]

Goodnight, sweet website. And a flight of angels sing thee to thy rest.

[D3rachi]

It's terrible that the events of the past day or so had to occur, but I'm quite confident that the 1UP folks won't have a hard time finding somewhere else to work. They're a talented bunch of people and they excelled in their field of work.

[SergentBannana]

so sad man so sad

[hooliganson]

shit thats sad, good luck ex 1upers

[cowjomonkey]

thanks for the vid, end of gfw was a nice end.

[itsatacoproductions]

truely a sad day, best of luck for all those who were laid off.

[RTMtype]

What a sad day. :( I want to crawl in a hole and sleep for 5 years.

[metalliholic]

Dude, nice vid.

It sucks so much that the only podcasts i really enjoyed were from 1up.

Thanks for the vid, i planning on searching through all the twitters, but i say this vid and you saved me a lot of time.

R.I.P 1up

[Menkomman]

Now i feel stupid

[Menkomman]

.....sigh.

Oh well.

But on a side not I would love to know where you got that awesome 8bit version of the 1upshow themesong
