Finally listened to this podcast (I had a lot of driving to do today). It was a wonderful close to the era of 1UP, an excellent cap on its legacy. I loved hearing from so many familiar people, hearing behind the scenes comments. There was a lot said about The 1UP Show and I had forgotten what a great show it was (glad it's getting preserved on youtube!). And the Retronauts kickstarter! I hadn't known about that. Retronauts was my favorite part of 1UP and I actually listened to every episode of the podcast.
I really do like PixlBit and I think some of the blogging tools here are better than what 1UP had but I'll always miss that old site. Especially during its heyday, 1UP was unique and I doubt the internet will ever see its like again.
