More game coverage should be like the golden era of 1UP.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.

I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.

I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Oh man… it was the most fun. God, it would have been incredible to have you there with us.

Yeah man, it was such a fun time to be working in that space. We got away with a lot. But the energy was incredible.

And I hope you like it! I think there’s some really fun stuff in there.

If anybody wants to fund a prestige television show that starts with a bunch of knuckleheads making gaming magazines and websites and ends a few seasons later with a very conservative gaming industry and a side order of fascism, I’ve got some good ideas.

Oof. Bitter sweet revisiting this... the credits roll on 1UP is the size of three or four full outlets in today's games media landscape. This a video game podcast from twenty years ago. The industry has grown considerably since then. wtf.

The 1UP Show was one of the biggest influences in my media career and inspired me to create video content. Seeing how cool their office was and the creativity that oozed from each episode, they really raised the bar. What Casey Neistat did to vlogging they did to video games media.

I have no idea if The 1UP Show is actually the foundational text to modern games media that it always will feel like to me, but, man, what a great little thing that brought videogames out of darkened living rooms and message boards and into the light.

If you choose to praise the show today, please do so only in contemporary vernacular. It’ll make me smile.

Dreaming of a @carolineloveglow.bsky.social shoegaze record. With her songwriting, I bet it would be an instant forever favorite.
