I want to thank you so much. For the last few days I've done my best to show my support for those who have been hit the hardest, but now I think you've opened up a space for those secondarily effected. You see, I'm one of those guys you mentioned who grew up just a little bit after you. Ever since I heard the news of EGM's closure I put on a tough face and tried to smile for you guys, but in the back of my mind there was always a little voice trying to express the devestation I felt. I really, truly saw EGM as a future for me, and the loss of such a goal during my Junior year of college has really been hard. I just want you to know that I'm grateful for all the inspiration and guidance you and your colleages have given me over the years. Here you have shown me that this has merely been the "death" of a dream. Phil et al. I want to thank you so much.

Your podcasts on the other hand, I loved. The 1up podcasts provided me with something far more important than any review or preview could, instead of having to digest a cold and hard review I could listen to friends talk shit about games. That was always what I thought made 1up special, rather than try to keep an impossible professional facade you guys just acted like yourselves. If you guys are ever in South Australia let it be known, you guys deserve a free ozzie beer and a kangaroo steak (or if any members of the Lan Party come down they should try a Tim Tam, the worlds greatest candy).

Of course, it's probably wiser to take the web-based route, but I'd definitely be willing to support you guys if you decided to make a mag. Also, Phil, thanks for the heart-felt words about those who were unable to get their names in EGM. I always dreamed of doing so myself, but I was too late.

Your story about growing up with EGM really resonates with me. I've always read every single word and really relished my time magazine. Later I got into 1up as well. I've seen every episode of the 1up show and I listened to all the podcasts (except the sports anomaly), so when the news hit a few days ago, I was devastated. I felt like I'd lost some of the best friends I'd never met. Seeing what you guys are doing though...it's just so uplifting. What made 1up so great was the having all those great folks (including you guys) at one place. Ex-1UP'ers doing something like this together is just fantastic. I think you'll see that a lot of people will be along for the ride, Kollar. Great post. Your story about growing up with EGM really resonates with me.
