As UGO's purchase of 1UP continues to send shock waves across the gaming landscape, details about what to expect under the site's new overlords have begun to emerge. Or rather, what we could have expected. 1UP's Scott Sharkey drops his synergistic ideas for a new site comprised of lists, boobs and lots of both. But alas, Scott's been promptly muzzled by his new handlers.
Don't worry, though. Joystiq plans to "borrow" all of your fine ideas, Scott, for our new megasite: JoyDaily.com -- brought to you by AOL's TMZ!

So, they are mimicking IGN.
Sensational.
Reviews of the latest diamond-encrusted wireless headphones, car chargers, $300 mice, yachets, and pornstars turned song/dance sensation.
Let's not forget the gratuitous, almost vomitous advertising with animated burgers and movie stills of unrated hack/slashers.
SHIT! I even have a new name for the site: 1upyours.com

They should change the forums to how they used to be.
Every system having it's own board and what not.
The 1up board suck now, since it's a neogaf wanna be.

"All future articles appearing on the site will be in the Top 5 format. Excepting those occasions when they can be extended into a top 10, 50, or 100. In the coming months efforts will be made to maximize pageviews by printing these articles with one word, and eventually one letter, per page."
Wow... they are copying BigDownload's ideas... but they forgot to put them into an image gallery to make them REALLY annoying.

I anticipate many parenthesis, letter Ys, and dots to appear in these replies.

It was sad what happened to the clubs section of 1up, that was the only reason I really visited the site.
