1UP Show staff returns as Area 5 with new show

This makes me happy.

Look at all that booze!

Enjoyed the show, left me wanting more. Keep it up guys.

I see Matt finally ditched that stupid beanie. Good move, dude, you looked like a dummy.

They're really pushing Diggs so be sure to do it http://digg.com/gaming_news/From_the_artists_formerly_known_as_the_1up_Show_comes_Co_op_2!

Also they're trying to get in the Youtube Partner Program (great idea) so be sure to subscribe!

I wish them all the best in getting this project going. They've put so much effort into their work and to see them continue to do what they love after getting laid off is really inspiring.

I'm glad they have brought themselves together again. While I never honestly liked 1up's reviews, their vids were always half way decent. 1up certainly gave up the best thing that place had to offer. I just hope they get a sponser.

To bad it isnt a podcast anymore. I want a rss-feed to subscribe to.

I, like most, respect everything these folks have given us over the years. Sadly, that PayPal link seems to be busted. Justin, hook us up with a good one will ya?

Love it and I wish these guys the best of luck.

@ Shagittarius:

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to pick up on that lol.

Perfect! Its just like it never left!

Loved it.

But who's that creepy looking chick that never talks?

usually i dont have patience for long videos but watching this was made me see how passionate the 1up crew was about not only 2008's best games but their livelihood. nothing bitter or sardonic, they just did what they would've like they still get paid.

cant wait for the continuation.

They need to form like Voltron with Giant Bomb, get all these laid-off games journalists under one roof.

I hope they can keep this going. 1up yours and the 1up show were basically the only podcasts I watched/listened to other than Diggnation/Totally Rad Show. They literally took my weekly entertainment schedule and shat on it when they fired the staff of those podcasts.

It's a shame that the economy is in such ruin, because I'd love to see them get a corporate sponsor. In better times, Revision 3 probably could have brought them on board, but I don't see that happening now. If IGN were smart, they'd try to get them, because they have infinitely more credibility between them than anyone working at IGN ever will.

Wow, those guys look like losers.

There's a short one with a full head of hair.
There's a tall bald one with glasses.
There's a fat guy there.

OH SHI-

This is great! Nice to see them going at it again!

Hopefully they can continue this!

No Wii games worth mentioning?

World of Goo not worth mentioning?

I liked the video though. Interesting discussions.

Good stuff! I enjoyed watching it. Look forward to more!
