This morning I woke up to my Twittersphere being ablaze with messages regarding 1up.com’s acquisition from UGO, and more importantly, the sad news of the end of EGM and the disappearance of  many of the great staff from 1up which made the podcasts (such as The 1up Show and 1up Yours) happen.  These shows were pretty much a weekly listen/watch for me and its very sad to hear they will be no longer.

Good luck to all the guys who lost their jobs, I’m pretty certain that their talents will find them new jobs very soon.  Here’s hoping for a new era of new podcasts from the same guys!
