EGM, 1up, Goodbye!

[capnbarfy]

Has anyone read the zombie EGM? Is it as good as the original?

[shuli7071]

NICE

[sonictt1]

Great song. The stuff they put out now is good, but that 1up style just doesn't seem to be there. The one that feels the most "1up-ist" is the Oddcast. But regardless, I continue to support my favorite gaming site through good and bad, and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future :D

[thereisnoneo]

Kinda sad to watch again with the news of ListenUp now being gone.

[ODSTFirefighters]

i know :(

[ZZDaikun]

Great news! EGM may actually return in December...without UGO!

Check out ScrewAttack's latest Hard News (October 16) for more info!

[DontEatTheLeftovers2]

even if EGM comes back this year, it will NEVER be the same. the same editors, writers, etc won't be back, as they have prob moved on. sorry guys

[CCCCCCCCombobreaker]

Anyone else got a bit of a good bad and ugly flash back while listening to this?

[schaaffles]

STOP BEING SO DEPRESSED GUYS! EGM IS BACK. Thanks to the original founder steve harris buying back the rights to egm and he's saying that new issues should be made in 2nd half of 09.

[ethen24]

First Official US Playstation Magazine, then Tips & Tricks, and now EGM!

WHY GOD, WHY?

[Eduardroid]

A sad story, i cant belive it, why EGM why?? Will miss you, any other magazine would take your place, rest in peace, now i must go on, maybe i try wih that thing called Girls jajajaja ,.-Eduardroid

[Nintendoman34710]

he should sing this in front of the 1.up or UGO company he'll make million dollars

[omegasprinter]

Nice song GameJew. Ive been collecting EGM magazines since December 1997.

It looks like the internet is killing print media.  No more getting excited when I go to the magazine section

[Jesteriandt]

I can't believe it's over... first OPM now EGM. I'm speechless, it's so sad.

[carnivalofsouls2047]

sushi X will not be denied

[vecm89]

bye EGM...snif!

[schaaffles]

Why the hell do i keep listening to this? Its a good song but every time i listen to it another part of me dies. Although, i think thats just because of how much egm and 1up had meant to me.

[jmarron2525]

Sushi X will have his REVENGE!!!!!

[BuddhaBebop]

rest in peace EGM

[iamLieutenant]

that was pretty terrible

[CaptainHJ]

you better be talking about what happened to egm, and not the song, ill kick ur ass if you say shit about this song...  =D

[iamLieutenant]

The song is shit.

[AveryHayes]

Hey, shut the fuck up. It was heartfelt. If you don't like it, kiss the collective asses of all the fans of EGM. I swear to whatever God you please that if I met you in person I would break your nose.

[iamLieutenant]

lmao, fuck off kid.

[Nintendoman34710]

what bad about it then ?

[drjonez]

RIP EGM :`(

[jimmychippy]

I cried a single, manly, muscular tear.

[chris2ao]

thanks for the song man, I will miss egm but more than anything 1up and all the podcasts, I don't see how there will every be another retronauts. :(....

[AverageDayGamer]

a must subscribe!

[reassessment]

awesome, why won't garnett continue 1up yours?

[TheMegaNerd]

NOOOO!!!! MY FAVORITE PODCAST WAS THE RETRONAUTS! GODAMMIT! and they had just switched to a weekly format.

[jodetert]

bye bye EGM you will be miss.....

[LTmattYT]

lol chords pl0x?

[thegamejew]

Em, Am, C, B7, those are the only chords.

[chug20]

Absolutely fucking awesome.

I really loved the lyric about making a coversation out of a one-way street. So true...

[wogsland]

never go away

[Chick6517]

That video was amazing. Can you explain to me how you got all of that on camera? Hahah, this is definitely a video to remember!

[AnimeZombie91]

A fitting tribute. This was really nice of you and I know it meant a lot to the guys at 1UP, EGM and GV who have to fend for themselves now.

[gritnom]

R.I.P. EGM. I hope all our friends we never met from the mag can stick together and form a new mag with a new publisher or get a warm welcome into another mag. I'll really miss everything about EGM. 2009 sucks for me even more now. First my Parents get a divorce, most every one of my friends move away and I'm moving. Soon I'll lose internet and direct tv and now I have the loss of EGM. 2009 blows.

[Nowitzki25]

=( good song, im too sad to enjoy it yet tho

[HiTEqMETHOD]

so far 2009 blows....family issues,now my favorite magazine and websites of all time will be going away along with the greatness that was the 1UPshow,1UP radio,and Broken Pixels' insane humor.Fuck UGO and Ziff Davis,hope the people who left start a new website or something.LONG LIVE 1UP AND THE GLORIOUS MEMORIES,my dream job is now dead too.

[attackslug]

so awesome

[NintendosAdvocate0]

Never really knew what 1-up was or cared about it, but it's sad to see EGM go. It doesn't surprise me too much though, because as I stated in my EGM magazine collection videos, EGM was getting so darn thin that it wasn't even worth the price any more. And darn, they never did reveal who Sushi X was from EGM years ago. They should show everyone who that really was. EGM printed a few of my letters before and printed a picture of a CD I sent them. Ahhh, memories.

[figment1988]

that sucks. i will also miss EGM's seanbaby articles, along with Broken Pixels.

[Jan3d]

Awesome and awesomely sad.

My feelings exactly. Thanks for that!

[MerinoNL]

Thanks for expressing exactly what I felt.

2009 is starting off in a weird way without the best friends you've never met.

[wolf424]

another great podcast is noobtoob its independent yet very well done. look it up on youtube their awesome

[RTMtype]

:( :( :( :(

[Wiirocks]

1Up and EGM both sucked but it's still sad.

[darthuli]

Thank you!

Really nice.

Gonna miss those good old days. Hopefully everything will be nicely reborn somehow...

[redthehaze]

Thank you Mr GameJew

[Billqvist]

Nicely done.

[XtraKryspy]

Great job, but it

still hurts.

[TrickmanTerry]

Very nice tribute. Being an older ex-EGMer, I too am deeply saddened by the loss of the flagship magazine that so many read for 20 years. Condolences to those that lost employment through the process. Been there. My heart goes out to you. You will land on your feet again. Take care, all. - Trickman

[rscott408]

Well done, man. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone at 1UP when I say that your gesture is appreciated. The outpouring of support from everyone over the last couple days has meant as lot. Thank you!

Ryan Scott

Outgoing Executive Editor

[agglounge]

Even though i only took part in only listening to the 1up yours podcast i am still deeply saddened by the news.

I hope that everyone that was let go by 1up remembers the great times we all had all these great years.

RIP 1up yours i loved you ;_;

[SPac316]

I admit that I have not been reading the issues since I have internet access... But still, this was a big part of my childhood before the days or the internet. Without EGM, I wouldn't have been so well informed of the going on's in the gaming world.

So, RIP EGM...thanks for the memories.

[SPac316]

I was a long time subscriber, so this was in deed sad news. I would remember looking forward to a new EGM every month when I come home from school...

[JayRandom47]

good song, it's a sad week

[RedDragoon]

really well written. Great job.

I just wish that you never had to of made this video. Everything about this situation sucks.

[mcrproductions]

This is perfect. And...yeah...words are hard to find in a awful time such as this.

[alexrod830515]

what the hell?

where else i gonna get real reviews

[TLoZNarutofan]

....I will greave this sorrow for you,me,and all of us. RIP EGM+1up!

[triforcecaptre]

"We're Ghost until then". Dude I seriously almost teared up at that part.

Now to put a spin on another Garnett quote. Sadness confirmed.

[monkichirmon]

yea, what happened?!?! i was at 1up and just haven't been there for a few years, and i used to get EGM in the mail. are they really gone!?!? why!?!!?!

[TheWanderingMind]

It's time for me to say goodbye to 1up after being a part of the community for four and a half years. I have a lot of great memories from that place, but I see it going nowhere but downhill from here now that UGO bought it. Goodbye, 1up.

[DAK075]

Wow. I remember being pissed off at 1Up for giving Sonic Unleashed such a poor review. I had to correct them by making a review of my own. Well, it is kinda sad, because I remember reading EGM as a kid. Well might as well watch some NooBToob.

[jpkushin]

Retronauts appears to have been spared. Jeremy, Sharkey, and Ray will soldier on. If they bring in Chris Kohler or Shane as guests, I'll be happy.

I'm still waiting for someone to post a video of a 40 being poured out in memory of all the fine folks who were fired. Maybe the nerd equivalent is pouring out a Mountain Dew...

[Adamgamer64]

Great video Gamejew, I'm really going to miss listening to the 1up podcasts everyday while heading to school. I hope everyone who was laid off is doing ok :(

[DemonPikachu]

EGM is no more? How...how did that happen? What was the reason that they all lost their jobs? Were there not enough people who subscribed to their magazine?

[Axelsama]

you need to reles a cd of all you awesome songs i love them all

[PlayItPoolman]

='(

Thank you GameJew.

[thelegendofwiked]

wait wait wait stop stfu everyone

Who all got fired and what about 1up Yours and 1up FM?

[NintendoPhreak989]

So that explains why I've only gotten 1 measily issue of GamePro since December.

[monkichirmon]

it being jan. might have something to do w/ it, it being 1 month 'since december'.

[NintendoPhreak989]

Never mind that.  It feels like is has been months since I have gotten a magazine.

[zoemgs2]

I don't understand!!! WHY ARE THEY GOING AWAY!??!?!?! Dang that sucks. Great song, I cried a little.
