Here we go.
So, seriously I was about to write a bunch of stuff about the huge probability that there is something out there other than us in this massive universe, but then I read this. To a lot of you, this means a whole lot of nothing, but to others it is yet another huge crash into our favorite website.
You see, 1up.com puts out the best podcasts. Not just because they are gaming related, but because the people who do them are intelligent and funny. Out of all of their podcasts, one stood head and shoulders above the rest - GFW Radio, or The Brodeo. Hosted by Jeff Green, who had been with Ziff Davis (the company over 1up) for 17 years, it featured Shawn Elliott, Sean Molloy, Ryan Scott, Bobito, and many more. Even though I don't really care about Computer Gaming, this podcast always had some smart discussions about ethics in gaming journalism, games as art, etc. But last month, Sean Molloy left to go to Blizzard and a little over a week ago, Jeff Green announced that he was leaving to go to EA to work on The Sims franchise.... and now this from Shawn.
It's kind of like when your favorite tv show ends or gets cancelled, you don't really know what will ever fill that space in your little entertainment world. Except in this case, I really looked up to these guys. Working at 1up is a dream of mine, and it is really sad to see all of these heroes of mine leaving to better things. It's not that it is a bad thing for them to go, but I will miss reading their articles and learning from them.
It's a sad day for me...
EDIT 2: He's for real going to 2k Boston (the guys behind Bioshock) - cool
