Dude, you have some real problems. Tina is a community manager which is very important for this type of transition.KaosAngel said:I really don't want to sound sexist right now, but I'm more pissed that Tina is working. EVERYTIME I listen to 1up FM, I turn it off the second she gets on and call it quits. I also remember in an older podcast she has family that got her into this business or something like that.
Man, I know the stereotype is nerds are little horny kids...but most of us are adults and have a wife/girlfriends. I hope that the new 1up goes out of business so the businessmen upstairs know just how bad their mistakes were.
Damn, why does Tina keep her job and Duke Nukem Forever still isn't out?!
I didn't think she was good on podcasts or very knowledgeable about games but that wasn't really her job. She's the community manager and from all accounts I've read she's very good at it.KaosAngel said:I really don't want to sound sexist right now, but I'm more pissed that Tina is working.

Yeah I'm sure 1up will lose some viewers. But they'll probably gain some new ones from the UGO side of things and Tina will have to do a good job getting that content out to everyone and interacting with them. You guys may not have liked her on the podcasts, but she did her job as a community manager pretty darn well.KaosAngel said:It has no affect if the people already decide to jump ship with the captain(s). You can have the best person to head community...but if the people love the staff and stay for the staff...and said staff is fired...in one day...people will leave.
Do you know how many people left GameSpot Forums after that fiasco last year? Granted a good chunk of them went to Giant Bomb...but I have a feeling a good chunk of 1up people will go to wherever the 1up crew goes.
Exactly. Looking at the latest tweet Tina put up says it all: "I miss my friends. I love them all so much. " You need to get a life and gain some perspective.zaidr said:2) You must be one pathetic lowlife assbag to be tearing on a member that wasn't laid off while her friends all got sacked. You think she isn't torn up about it? Anyone would be. To be coming on here and singling her out, while there are countless others who you don't know that were not on radio/video shows that still are hanging on to their jobs at 1UP, but never attained the notoriety that Tina has because they never made it on the podcasts, makes me think you're the one more immature and sexist than anyone you're pointing vague fingers at.

UGO is for the hardcore gamers, bro. Nothing's more hardcore than some tee jay and ee. :/K.Jack said:It gets worse every time I read it. Like, you choose ToeJam and Earl? Really?

JavaMava said:Is the last issue of EGM on shelves already? I started at issue #106 or so. I may not have grabbed every issue these last few years, but it's horrible to see this huge part of my childhood going away. After so many people leaving in the last 2 years, seeing GFW radio and magazine go away... it was hard but I still rooted for em. I was sure 1up was going to pull through. They were so unarguably the best site around, way ahead of anything every other site was doing in terms of quality.
I don't think I'll bother finding a new site. I don't want to spend another 5-10 years learning editors personalities, opinions, and tastes to get that something extra; special out of their reviews.
I need to go buy that last issue when it's out.
The 2nd Runner said:Something tells me UGO is going to rue this acquisition. 1up and EGM were great because of their staff, not their branding. The massive void in talent is most surely going to be noticed.

KaosAngel said:Dude, I gotta fire people almost every fiscal year for the people I work for. I've been fired as well in a country in which I'm not a citizen of and risked being sent back to the States for validating my working visa (had no job). I've been in situations when my friends got fired from the same company I'm at. They made it out alright. Some went back to the States while others stuck around here and got picked up.
All of them made it out. The thing is, I have to deal with this kind of stuff a lot. People need to feed their loved ones, I understand that. The fact is, almost all of the people fired at 1up will find decent places to work at based on personality alone. Giant Bomb did perfectly well, and it was just 4 guys. These ex-1up can pull an ace too.
Cool, something to look forward to.Andrezu said:
