I also want to say fuck all those idiots that say "print is dead, long live the internet." While I haven't been a fan of EGM for a year or 2 and saw that they were going to go under once GFW did, I do feel a little sad. To think that people would rather go to a blog where all their "news" is a "clever" photoshopped photo and a paragraph or 2 mostly full of catch phrases and smart ass comments instead of anything meaningful over a place like EGM or any of the other gaming magaznes is scary and sad. Even picking those places over going to the more relible and journalistic gaming websites where they know the difference between being right and being first. Oh yes.

I think it doesn't stand for anything anymore though.

It looks like you have some great interviews lined up to get a closer look at EGM/1Up.com. I signed on today after not being on yesterday and find a total of 5 shows that will talk about the buyout or at least have an ex-employee on the show. That will make 7 total that I've listened to since the news hit and no doubt will there be a few more by the end of the week and probably even 1 or 2 more next week.

UGO should have at least put that out before pulling the plug.

You guys are awesome as usual. You asked good questions and listeners received a lot of good insight from Shoe and us. Maybe that's why your up to #18 on the top podcasts for Games and Hobbies category! Hope the server stays up! :) Thanks for the kind words, and the love-fest that was on the podcast.

We're glad you all loved it as much as we did. Speaking of love. the amount of downloads of the podcast is about to crush our bandwidth limit. Our tiny little site just wasn't meant for the spotlight and as such, there's the potential we may crash for a bit until we can contact the powers that be. Thanks for understanding and we hope you won't notice anything today. If we do go offline for a bit, that's the reason and we'll be back up soon. Thanks for everyone's pimpage of the podcast!

The Terry and Ken interview was especially candid and insightful, especially with regards to their interactions with their imposing bosses and a much different take on the Ziff transition than someone like Hsu later posited. I think it will go down as a labor of love, because you guys truly did care about EGM and did it justice with this episode. Excellent show guys!
