The horror! The horror!

Damien informed me of something very sad today, as I was about to start writing my French oral (i.e. God damnit, why didn't I do it over break). So now I'm still not doing my French oral, and instead, I'm blogging about this sad event.

1up was bought by UGO today.

Okay, I know nothing about UGO really, so I didn't initially have any emotional reaction. Then Damien told me that they fired practically the entire 1up show crew, which is just ridiculous if they have any plans of continuing the show. That's like buying a Mustang, taking out the engine and putting some shitty Proton engine replacement, and then taking it for a spin.

They fired all the people pictured on the front page here.

There's basically a few more guys and a couple girls left who would run the show, and trust me they are not the main attractions.

NOW THE BEST PART! UGO writes:
"Unlike some of the lumbering, impersonal behemoths out there, 1UP is all about its personalities, and its fans are awesome, passionate..." 

LOL! Bullshit much? They fired all the personalities on the 1up show. Lies, damn lies.

Thanks, check out talkingorange.com if you're a gamer. If you haven't at least heard of 1up and you play games, shame on you.
