Oh, Reilly! I listened to the one where luke said "I'd like to welcome Reilly to the program" after he named his Pinata after you :lol :lol
I actually just listened to that one a few days ago! WIERD! 11/17/06 was the date of that podcast. I don't think he actually named his pinata after me, though. :(

stop it! your making me want to listen to the E3 2006 podcast again. I already heard that once like three times. The best part is when Adam Sessler walks by and they all pretty much grab him and make him talk about his most looked forward to games. Also, Luke Smith game of E3 2006 was Lost Planet which is just surreal when you consider how he acted towards the game when it came out.

this thread somehow turned into the "old 1upyours are awesome" thread.

Who is ZD hiring the replace Bryan?

And if skip is reading this, how come 1up yours doesn't have "You're listening to 1up Yours...on the 1up radio network" little voice clips on the commercials? And also it needs to have you at the end going "1up yours is blah blah blah hosted by blah blah blah and posted every blah blah blah."

I'm listening to old 1up yourses and I'm so nostalgic for "WHATS UP, IM NOT IN THE FUCKING CREDITS?"

are you looking through my window or something? (working on new audio bits and pieces as we speak.)

and I'm pretty sure li'l ruddiger is going to land on his feet pretty soon...

but only say your name and you shall appear!

I hope you guys have all these podcasts backed up and safely stored away...when aliens find us in 2000 years, I want them to know that Motorstorm was a watershed moment in gaming history.

They must know the greatness of Squeaky the Squazzle!

Why should they? The hardcore make up, what, less than 10% of their total audience?

Because they're alienating the hardcore by sacrificing their journalistic integrity. If you want tainted, PR controlled coverage and "opinions", well you're in luck because Gamespot is turning into Maxim.

if I have time this year, I might make a "best of 2006" collection for the holidays. maybe after we're done writing new theme music.

the best ending to 1upyours is still "Thanks for paying for this podcast...oh wait, you didnt because its free, just like any good online service should be. This is Shane Bettenhausen signing off...Playstation 3"

Classy. No wait, that's not the word... Snarky. Reads exactly like a troll post from gamefaqs.
 
The turnover in gaming journalism is way too high... It's like every company is imploding...

FirstInHell said:
So Shane showing that he has no journalistic integrity is funny? Personally, I think it is obnoxious and unprofessional.
He was making a point in a perfectly valid way.
EDIT: Really? I could have sworn it was Shane.

Shane didnt say it, Mark MacDonald did.

If you do it, please include all the times Luke got fired or was going to get fired.
 
GTA4 IS NOT A PRIMARY CONSOLE MOVER AHHH I'M GOING TO QUIT

prophetic words :'(

edit: can someone rename this thread 1up yours love in :lol

edit: holy crap linkzg :lol
 
1up yours during 2006 was the best podcast on the internet, hands down. I never forget the moments Luke made a fool out of Garnett's random babbling.

Sorry guys, but 1up yours is pretty lacklustre these days.

If you mean 'last week' that's because they basically renamed an episode of EGM Live* instead of a real 1UP Yours episode...
 
Nah, 1up Yours has been great since Skip came back on...GDC week was really a high point for 1up yours, nostalgia be damned.

But it's great to go back and listen. :)
 
So when do we start taking bets on when Ricardo bails out?

EDIT: oh, I just saw the new direction of this thread. I approve, guys.

yeah, 1upyours is still top notch quality wise, but I personally think it isnt as consistant because there isnt a stable crew like there was in 2006. Bryan's last podcast 2 weeks ago was awesome, I actually listented to that one twice and both times I laughed out loud when Shawn made fun of Shane for liking Opoona because he felt sorry for the game.

I throw some of the old ones on when I have nothing to do at night, which is most of the time. Since they were so long, it keeps me busy for awhile.
 
well, I always have a memory of old 1upy and gfw, they helped me through OIF 06/07. Never will be the same without Luke and John :\

Totally agree. It sucks they keep getting disrupted. You could tell that things were going to come together nicely when Shawn was feeling comfortable enough to make fun of Shane's opoona pity party and to get really involved in the news stuff.

Hopefully they find a good fourth chair and then they stabilize for a year...I don't think they have any shortage of people to fill it with.

Yeah, if they get a good fourth chair and Shawn doesnt leave to work anywhere else for a while, I think it will be great again. Even when Mark was a member, John wasnt there all the time so it rarely had the whole crew together. Personally I would be ecstatic if either Simon Cox or Andrew Fitch are able to do the fourth chair, both of them are entertaining to listen to and when it comes to Fitch, he talks about games im interested in that arent that popular, so that would make me happy.

Wrong. The only problem is that that was pretty much the only time they were able to hold a consistent cast without someone leaving. I fully think Skip and Garnett can make a team just as good, if not better than Shane, Luke, Garnett, and John; they just need to get someone on there who's charismatic and has good chemistry on the show (and isn't going to leave after a couple months, fucking the whole thing up again :|).

Much as I love Fitch, I'd much rather have him do way more important things.

For example, getting Jeremy, Shane, and Ryan and spearheading Nerdcast '08.

Yes, I would rather have Fitch on Nerdcast '08 than 1upyours. Nerdcast '08 is such an awesome podcast.
 
I'd kill for Simon. We need another level headed brit that would do community stuff.

Clearly the choice is Superbly Scrabbulous Simon
 
Good luck, lil' Rudds!!!!

When i get home I'll dig up my favourite photo of you, taken in a more innocent time before the ravages of this horrible industry took their toll on us all.

hey, everything I do I do in garageband!

Hey Skip, where can I find the opening theme to 1 Up Yours? I've heard that it's a public domain instrumental. I'm sure others would also be interested in the link. Thanks.

It's in GarageBand. It's just one of the starter songs.

I'll see if I can find it and I'll upload it.

EDIT nah, I don't have it. It's called "Electric Rodeo," though. :(

I didnt know it was a publically available song until I was randomly bored at school and going around youtube only to find this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mRfPkJC2fJ4 and I was like "wtf, why would a vegan tofu breakfast video rip off 1upyours"
 
Y2Kev said:
wow, that is a MINDFUCK

The 1upyours theme totally has my mind messed up in a pavlov's dog sort of way. I remember the April fools day episode of the Player One Podcast started with it and I was all confused before realizing that was the joke.
