As a gamer for more than 18 years, no magazine got what a videogame enthusiast really was except for EGM. 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 realize what they've lost.
Godspeed 1up ex-staffers, You are the best friend we have never met.
