The last 1UP Podcast ever (4/5/2013) - 3 hr special goodbye

Man, 1UP's podcasts were what got me into podcasts in the first place. I remember being pretty sad when 4G1UP ended, and that time Retronauts ended but didn't actually end.
All the feelings :(

Well there isn't when you mean video shows. At least as far as I know.

Yeah..ever since 1upShow was gone, has there been something else with a similar format to fill its void? It was such a casual and laidback approach to having a show on games discussions, and it worked. I miss the tiny parts in between where they'd scour the Mission for good, cheap food. heh

Just I guess the brief run of Area 5 TV.
 
Holy shit, Anthony's story about going into the office after being a fan hit me really hard since I had the exact same experience (right down to Richard Li being the one interviewing me). Only difference is I didn't get the position :(

and Luke.

What happened to that group? Are any of them doing any podcasts these days?

Well Shane is on lockdown thanks to Sony, and Davison is still at GameSpot, right? But he's an exec now, no time for podcastin'.

edit: he's totally not at GameSpot anymore



did my connection go to shit, or is this download link getting HAMMERED?

-- ok, seems to be better now

Same here. It seems like forever ago when I was a sophomore in college listening to Garnett talk down Warhawk on my first 1up Show. Man, I miss those days.

Its crazy to hear all the women on the show, you forget how many cool women worked around 1up networks. There really isnt a place like 1up anymore for being so open and inclusive of all types of people.

Will there be an archive kept of all the articles, blogs, and podcasts? I hate when information is lost. :/

I wonder if there is a torrent out there of EGM Live and 1Up Yours podcast history.

No John, Shane, Luke or Garnett? ... This barely means anything to me. Sort of makes the whole thing even sadder.

What a shame the 1UP sinking has been. They could've been Giant Bomb had they been smarter.

Garnett works at Shacknews, does the Weekend Confirmed podcast

Mark works/runs at 8-4 Play. Also a podcast of the same name. Translates JP games, most recently being Metal Gear Rising and Fire Emblem.

Luke, was at the time, working at Bungie

John, somewhere, he jumps about alot, lol

David Ellis, works at 343 Industries.

Those guys did alright for themselves.

Yeah. The whole segment with Jane and Ryan about the 1UP Show origins is simply awesome.

Yup. My favorite part of the podcast. I'll tell ya, my Fridays still seem kinda empty since these shows last aired. I love Giant Bomb and enjoy listening to Weekend Confirmed, but nothing since has had the magic that 1Up Yours and The 1Up show had.

This really turns back the clock, listening to them weekly while training for a marthon a couple of years ago. And the 1up show theme... where did all the time go? Even though i haven't been to 1up.com for a couple of years, i have wondered where all these people went.
 
If I ever have a moment where someone's memory of their first time meeting me was beating a Portal level, dropping the controller & walking away my life would be complete.
 
I never listened to the 1up podcasts when they were big, but I have been catching up with The ThisYear collection and watching some of the old 1Up Show episodes. What a fantastic group of people.

I never followed the podcasts, but I really enjoyed the 1up show. Damn, that was what, 6 years ago at least?

Also, now I wish I hadn't gotten rid of all my old EGM issues. Great magazine. Amazing that the group of editors stayed fairly well intact for so long.
