It’s a Long Way to Tipperary
Posted by Ryan Scott in Blog Posts on Jan 10, 2009 @ 2:06 AM | 56 comments
I’m sure most anyone who would find their way to this site has heard the bad news by now — as of this moment, me and many of my dear colleagues at 1UP.com are out of a job. It’s not all bad, though; my good friends Nick Suttner, Anthony Gallegos, and Philip Kollar have enjoyed some pretty unbelievable success with the first episode of their Rebel FM podcast (as of this writing, it’s the #1 gaming podcast on iTunes, and the #6 podcast period). And the stand-up video crew that brought you the 1UP Show is cooking something up, and it’s sure to be worth everyone’s while.
As for me: You’ll see my name popping up on a couple of sites in a freelance capacity in the near future, and I’m hoping to find a more permanent new home before long. I’m also in the process of hashing out my own podcast, though that’s really gonna depend on whether you guys want it or not. I’ll try to keep you all updated on my goings-on. Leave a comment or hit my Twitter feed if you’d like to give me a shout-out and profess your support (or lack thereof) for a theoretical podcast.

Hard times. I can say listening to 1up’s podcasts was a part of my weekly routine, and you guys will be sorely missed. Good luck and thanks for all the good times (hopefully more to come).
Revitalize the Brodeo!!
As long as you remember to properly apologize at the beginning of every cast I’ll listen. I enjoyed the brodeo and lan party till the end and I look forward to hearing you and whoever else you can get to join in nerd it up again weekly. Good luck.
Dude, you have to do a podcast. Hell yeah Ryan Scott!
Hell yeah!
If it’s anything like the outline of GFW’s Ryan Podcast then count me in.
Yes, a podcast is most wanted!
You have my support Ryan! Bring on the spreadsheet database! But yeah, I’ll follow whatever you post. You put together a podcast, I’ll give it a listen. Can’t wait to see what you do =)
I’ll be along for the ride, wherever it may be.
I think a podcast would be great. I think you would be a perfect fit at RebelFM or even at Giant Bomb. Those guys are all too loud, they could use a quiet cast member!
Proffessing support for theoretical podcast.
I would definitely tune for this broadcast now!
Do it.
What, is there a ten character limit?
Ok, *now* do it.
Do the podcast Ryan.
You know it occurred to me that there is a big hole where Legendary Thread used to be.
I’m picturing Ryan Scott, Jeff Green, Sean Malloy, and the scarab lord himself, Luke Smith talk’n wow trash.
Yeah this sure would = win!
Vince, believe me, I will be participating in Rebel FM, too. This is not an either/or situation.
One little question Ryan : why not participate in Rebel FM ? Doing a podcast by yourself is great, but being in a group where you can discuss different point of view is better.
Mr. Scott, it would be awesome if you were to continue your podcasting ventures. Remember, Lost is starting again soon!
Cool, newest comment on top!
Now get on IRC dammit!
I really appreciate all the feedback and diggs, guys — keep ‘em comin’.
I should have something to announce real soon with regard to a new podcast, so stay tuned.
Does my podcast feed need some Ryan Scott? Mmm… HELL YEAH!
Build it and they will come.
Do I want a new Ryan Scott flavoured podcast? Yes. Very yes.
Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again.
Other 3…I can’t count.
You+Elliot+Green+Malloy+Skype=RETURN OF BRODEO! Thnk the other four are too busy with their fancy game jobs?
I want the Ryan Scott Hour with your host Ryan Scott. STARING RYAN MOTHERFUCKING SCOTT.
The more podcasts with Ryan Scott, the more happiness in my life.
Yes, I’d love to see more podcasts from you Ryan.
I’d love to have some more LAN Party and such, honestly. Doesn’t have to be PC only or anything, really. But if somehow you could get Tina, Anthony and the usual suspects together for something it’d be all kinds of awesome — and even if that weren’t to happen, I’d listen to whatever podcast you make all the same!
As a side note, the photograph in this post made me realize just how much of a cutie Tina is. Dee-lish. Just throwing that out there…
If you did a podcast, it would be awesome!
You’ve got to do this…post-haste, even!
‘Cuz Wild Thing? I think I love you. (If only I were a white woman.)
Podcast! Come on Ryan, bring us a third uprising.
GFW Brodeo
Lan Party
????????
I demand that the very sexy Ryan Scott make a new podcast. I never really read 1up or GFW but I loved the podcasts. So make a damn podcast and I will listen to it avidly.
I would definitely listen to a new podcast, hope you can get it all going.
I’m a long time listener to you guys at cgw/gfw radio/lan party and legendary thread. I would very much love you to have a new podcast and will subscribe to it right away, hopefully it will blow anything 1up will offer out of the water.
I wish you and your colleagues who also got canned get back on your feet in terms of your careers and i will be watching out for more from you guys in the future.
ps. perhaps you could ask Jeff, Sean and Shawn to skype in from time to time to your new podcast if you go ahead with it.
I would very much like a podcast from Mr. Scott. I always eagerly anticipated each CGW/GFW radio/LAN party podcast.
Hooray for Ryan!!!
Just as long as you are sorry for everything I’ll hear.
Of course we do!
I vote yes for the new podcast staring you.
Maybe the old GFW crew can reunite to make a new podcast if their respective employers allow so.
I hate to post more than once but I’d like to say that my heart goes out to you and everyone else who lost their well deserved and earned positions, I don’t think anyone on that laundry list of the laid off deserved it at all. I can only hope that the result of this massive fuck up by UGO, the caterers of the lowest common denominator result in some really awesome new stuff out there. I for one have cleared any UGO related book mark out of my favorites as I, at this point, have absolutely no interest in supporting such blatant and piss poor elimination of competition and domain whoring.
Best of luck to you and everyone. I appreciate what you guys do.
I’ve been listening to old GFW Radio episodes the past week, not having anything new in the 1UP podcast department has been sucking copious amounts of shitcock.
I hope you know I hold you responsible for easing my 4+ hours of commuting at least one day a week and by failing to start doing a new podcast you’re making me miserable, and in turn making everyone around me miserable, which makes you an asshole.
White women fo lyfe!
I would definitely be down to see you do a new podcast, make it happen Ryan.
another yes, for a new podcast
I used to listen to you guys talk about warcraft for hours on my long drives, and I have never even played it. If you make it, I will listen.
Log onto IRC already dammit.
Ryan, I would definitely tune into this theoretical podcast. Just say when and where and I’ll be there
As a Ryan Scott fanboy, I demand a podcast.
It is the #2 podcast on itunes as of now, the entire internet is angry and looking for something to hold on to. myself included
They do I hope you guys all get situated, and soon can continue great podcast.
