Or a long succession of Mascot games? Sure, they were good mascot games...

Being good at being unoriginal isn't exactly impressive, guys.

There was nothing uncreative about "Snake Rattle 'n' Roll" except possibly the title.

Who has two thumbs and nothing to do with 1UP now.

Maybe I'll finally get around to doing something with this webspace that seems to exist for no other reason than to get hacked and fuck up the forums. Nothing like having your life dynamited right under your ass to remind you that, oh yeah, the whole point here was to be fuckawesome.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #125 on:** October 08, 2010, 11:42:11 PM »

Well that sucks. You were the most entertaining thing on 1up.

Sharkey · « **Reply #126 on:** October 08, 2010, 11:45:44 PM »

I've heard that! And you'd be absolutely astounded how little that counts for. But thanks.

Brentai · « **Reply #127 on:** October 08, 2010, 11:49:51 PM »

We're actually in the process of relocating this thing for completely unrelated reasons. Sorry again for fucking your shit up.

So what HAPPENED, Sharkey? Your twitter posts seem to indicate it was a bit more than just waking up one day and going "Boy, it's a great day to QUIT MY JOB!" , after which you nod sagely and smoke on your pipe.

Classic · « **Reply #129 on:** October 09, 2010, 12:41:06 AM »

That's a bummer. This can only mean that the whole thing is soon to explode.

If it's any consolation, I'm really bad at consoling people.

Mongrel · « **Reply #130 on:** October 09, 2010, 05:28:26 AM »

So Sharkey, do you have any kind of alternate plan lined up?

Detonator · « **Reply #131 on:** October 09, 2010, 05:39:51 AM »

The way things have been lining up, I'm guessing this is the point where Sharkey steals R^2's girlfriend and moves back to the east coast.

Honestly? I learned that quality and quantity of work has fuckall to do with anything if you don't suck shit out of the right idiot's asshole and grin about it. Already knew that, but hell, this thing has been killing me for a while anyway.

What, seriously? So they fired you because you wouldn't sell out? And not even in a good way, like The Who Sell Out.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Well there goes my only remaining interest in 1up. This is coming basically one week after Kieron Gillen taps out of games journalism, citing how cosmically shitty the industry standards are.

Five years and not even a mention of it on the site.

Probably because they don't actually want people to realize that he's gone.

I was going to post about how you're a terrible person for jynxing me like that but then I saw your avatar.

Didn't 1UP initially distinguish itself from other game sites by establishing a more direct connection between its audience and its editors? The higher-ups there have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

Anyway, Sharkey, best of luck. With a portfolio like yours, I'm sure you can land on your feet.

Fun Fact: R^2 would knock on wood, but if he did he would probably get a nasty splinter which would get infected and require several costly medical procedures to remove.

I also think you meant "jinxing", but I wouldn't be surprised if I accidentally sicced a very ugly pokemon on you.

I think the question on everyone's mind is "who was the right idiot"?

come on, man, inquiring minds.

Isn't the rule generally that you don't talk too much shit about particular idiots until you're safely employed in your next job?
