1UP NOT bought by Dell!

1UP NOT bought by Dell! photo
     Industry Bullshit

We finally received word from Ziff Davis that they have NOT sold 1UP to Dell. It looks like all is well in the world of game journalism once more. Everyone who said it wasn't true, give yourself a pat on the back. Too bad. Working for 1UP tech support might have been fun...

I kid, I kid. 

Thanks to Jason from Ziff Davis for responding to our e-mail. I'd also like to apologize to Aaron Linde for using a Kevin Spacey reference. I'm sorry, man.

I already got my four hours of sleep. I'm with Chris on the phone now...he's asking what to do if his mouse reaches the edge of the pad and his cursor's still in the middle.

Damn white people.

I just stapled like 16 mouse pads together. I think I'll be all set now!

And thanks for that pro tip on what to do when my CD won't fit in the floppy drive! (I've got a pair of scissors right next to the computer now!)

Doesn't this sound like bad news??? From xBBx :

"Thanks Snaileb. If you found a hershey squirt in a pair of panties you thought would be fresh with natural feminine juices, you'd react the same way. " ... if you don't know the topic of conversation, then yeah. Its all bad.

No. If it were, you'd all be getting paid millions of dollars to write and I'd quit my job to draw pictures for you all day.

Wait, then what was with the fact that dell.1up.com worked and showed a Dell logo up there?
