What the fuck is happening to games journalism today?
I don't... wait... who was left for full time employees at 1up? I can't think of anyone aside from Jeremy, who was put at the top.
Shit.
Jack DeVries let go from IGN.
I try not to talk poorly of other writers, but how he got paid to produce the writing he did for 6 whole years is mind boggling.
Stopped going to 1up after the 1upYours podcast ended. Rarely read the articles.
This. In full.During the 1up Yours/GFW podcast era, 1up was by far the best source of entertainment in the industry. I can't believe how much talent 1up/EGM lost in such a short time.

Were you a writer that was effected by 1UP layoffs? Email me xav [at] joystiq [dot] com. If you noticed the intentional error, email faster.
GeekboxWhat is Ryan Scott doing these days?
That leaves Parish, Mackey and Tina for me.
Sad to think they used to dominate other gaming podcasts in terms of quality and probably popularity. 1Up Yours and GFW Radio were so good in their prime.

This.
Now every podcast is full of scrubs besides Weekend Confirmed and Giant Bomb.
Hope some of them find a job @ giant bomb
besides?
And 1up podcasts that happen are still good imo. Bob Mackey's 'revival' of retronauts was pretty awesome.
I'll give you Retronauts. I never cared for Jeremy Parish though. He always sounded like he could care less about anything.
