My name is Red. My humble gaming beginning consisted of watching my cousins play games on the nintendo famicom from 9 in the morning til 3. Then I had to go away to the land of sand where I was trained to be a ninja of the sand to fight terrorism. My training consisted of the Sega Mega Drive 2 which came prepackaged with AlienStorm, which was once dubbed as "Showgirls of video games" by the Concelmo. Later on I moved on to the Playstation. Due to my limited funding and due to game publishers in the US not caring about Ninjas training in the sand like me, I resorted to black market alternatives. My great gaming memories consisted of pirated games which I had plentiful of due to the lack of giving a damn by the local authorities. All those games kept me sane in the desert wasteland. I was a prisoner in my own ninja fortress. Then all my training was for naught when the US military beat me to my ultimate mission: CAPTURE SADDAM HUSSEIN. But then they discovered that he was an impostor. Intelligence reports point out that he is where I am stationed now: TEXAS. My mission continues on.

Sad news falls upon us today. Effectively today, the 1UP network has been acquired by UGO and in its wake, the legendary gaming publication Electronic Gaming Monthly has passed on. Also among the casualties is most of the 1UP Network's staff, who put together a group of excellent podcasts every week. Now they are no more.
I would like to salute Destructoid, a blog by gamers for gamers, who were one of the first pay their respects to the loss of the gaming industry. Thank you Destructoid for honoring Electronic Gaming Monthly with by adorning this on your website: 
EGM and 1UP, Destructoid loves you. PS: UGO, for effectively killing off EGM and stripping 1UP of its soul and wearing its skin like Buffalo Bill, 
You just made the Internet your enemy, UGO. It's on like Donkey Kong, Motherfucker.

Nice!
No, YOU. THE. MAN.
I feel real bad for the EGM/1up guys. Even though EGM didn't have the most up to date stuff, they still put together an enjoyable magazine.
R.I.P. 1UP and EGM.
And I saw that stuff on Destructoid's homepage and couldn't help but smile. I appreciate the respect by the site.
Mad props for being rad, DTOID staff.
I'm hoping the ex-EGM staff members make a rival podcast to 1UP... that would be sweet vengance
Damnit UGO.
