Ugh this really sucks. With Sharkey gone and Jeremy no longer wanting to do podcasts it would seem 1up is losing a fan in me. Quickly. I only stayed over after the purge because of Parish/Sharkey/Barnholt. At least Barnholt is still around.. he can be kinda entertaining.

They should just scrap Oddcast with no Starkey. Without him there to keep Tina in line Oddcast will quickly devolve. I made a few comments on 1up bitching. Probably a dumb, semi-whiney thing to do but fuck it. This sucks and I want them to know it. Also complained to @1UP (http://twitter.com/#!/1up) on twitter saying that it's bullshit of them to not even acknowledge that Sharkey is gone.

/edit
Also I don't know if this is possible/how well Sharkey knows them or what.. but it'd probably be a good idea to make the rounds on a couple of podcasts. (Rebel fm, geekbox, bitmob) Not to trash 1up or anything (although that'd be amazing, haha) but to just keep your voice out there. Seems like it helped most of the refugees from the 1up apocalypse get new jobs.

I've always found 1up pretty unengaging other than a couple of their podcasts which were mildly interesting.

I sort of like the idea of a site that doesn't cover what's making the most noise and instead just researches big stories on the history of older stuff, or what has led to recent gaming trends and that sort of thing along side articles about interviews with developers and indies that are actually doing interesting things now. A gaming news site that is more about looking around for stuff that they find interesting rather than chasing whatever the "stories" and releases happen to be right this second.

You can find examples of all that sort of stuff in the gaming press now, but it always seems to play second fiddle to "Nintendo announced the 3DS will be the same price as everything else they have ever made." and "An other Halo was released today, here's our review."

It would be sort of like the Playboy (uh, the early years) of professional gaming news sites except without...... even with the pinup girls!

Oh, this was a political thing? I assumed you finally killed Matt Leone, and were essentially running from authorities.

Take your markers and hit the road, man. You'll be fine.
I assumed this happened after the last Oddcast.

You would be, Old Blighty.

No, Rock, Paper, Shotgun is pretty good actually and so is Game Set Watch for that matter. But I still feel like something that planned stuff out a little more and wasn't such an aggregator would be cooler.

Call up Garnett Lee and become a regular on that fancy-pants podcast he's got going down there. I think it's really missing a laconically voiced misanthrope.

Has anyone talked to you about our swanky new server and some stuff we might be able to do on it, if you wanted to?

Of course, I realize you might have some reservations about what that might imply. I can just say that me, my brother or Brent aren't going to fuck your shit up if you make fun of our gay lovers.

Not that I'm encouraging you to make fun of my gay lover or anything.

Also, if some new guys show up as a result of that, be nice.


Hi. I'm not really new but I did take the effort to remember (read: force) my password so I'm back after like a year.

you don't have to be nice to me. sorry about your luck Sharkey

Sharkey, do you still on solidsharkey.com? It looks just like your old website but with more links selling viagra. (Not the Zelda character.)

No idea. I'm guessing Joe let it lapse and someone else grabbed it and crammed a bunch of ads into the wayback archive of the thing. Ah, well. I was never actually keen on that name, anyway.

I just regged Bitfuckers.com, but don't think I'll be using that one, either. I'm totally open to suggestions.
