About Me

Hello, I'm Jimmy/C2C Shiro

I've been gaming since I was three... I think (I have a horrible memory :P) And the first console I ever played was an NES. From there I have owned all the Nintendo consoles that have come out. Right now I currently have my PS3, Wii, and my laptop available for gaming (My 360 croaked recently). I am a very big fighting game fan, but I like alot of other types of games too like FPS types; just don't expect me to be too good at all of them. I also like writing/typing about a lot of things which of course include video games.

Currently playing:

Street Fighter 4 (PS3)
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
Pokemon Platinum
Soldner X: Himmelsturmer

Backlog:

WipeOut HD
DJ MAX Black Square
ShinMegaTen: Nocturne
ShinMegaTen: Devil Summoner
Zone of the Enders 2

PS3 Trophies

PSN: Shiro_MkIII

Goodbye 1UP podcasts
C2C Shiro \| 10:31 PM on 01.06.2009	9 comments

As many of you know, 1UP was in essence castrated today by UGO, this included podcasts and all that was basically cool with 1UP. I was gonna write a really long article about the good quality of the 1UP podcasts and such; but I'll bore you instead with an image of the 1UP podcasts I subscribed to on the brink of deletion.

Yup, about 1/3rd of my podcasts had their final episode not too long ago. Oh well, at least most of them ended with a really good episode; a fitting end I guess for some good podcasts out there. In an ironic twist though most of these were year-end episodes that looked towards the future. I guess I'm podcast hunting now.

Goodbye EGM, Goodbye 1UP. It was good times while it lasted.

EGM 1989-2009

1UP 2003-2009

This broke my goddamn heart. I love Retroforce and Podtoid, but this has destroyed my one of my favorite pastimes. FUCK YOU UGO!

RIP Retronauts.... Oh well we still got Destructoid right?

1up is just going to be a useless site now. They have nothing going for it.

As sad as I am to see EGM and 1up go, the worst part in my opinion is no more Broken Pixels. In fact, today was when new episodes was supposed to premier.

Talk about shitty timing

Sad face. I heard one of them was going to continue though, can't remember which.

@Crocbox

The popular rumor is that either 1UPyours or retronauts will somehow go on. I don't think that any podcasts will survive given how thinly spread the editorial team is now, but we can all hope I guess.

I will miss the 1up Show with all my heart and soul...actually every single fucking thing about 1up will be missed by me. I'm seriously depressed. It's like if Lost just stopped right now. Thats how bad it is. No joke.

Also...hooray for College Gamer subscription.

I love 1UP, EGM, the Crew and the podcasts.

I'm really hurting. My heart goes out to the men and women of EGM and 1UP.
No joke.
