its ziff davis and UGO's fault for selling out on readers and their own employees. they made stupid economical mistakes and decided to kill off some of the most important things 1up had to solve the mistakes, and it still didnt work well. in the end they layed many great people off the job for more money, mainly ziff for jumping ship like they did. i know this is what businesses do in the real world, but not giving a shit about your fanbase and employees that have been around for so long, is not right. i still give the best of wishes for those layed off, and that they will find as great of a job as tey had before. 
 here is an exerpt from Jeff Green's blog, go read it if you havent, plus sam Kennedy's post about 1up was trash, he just tried to make a good deal of it, and failed, though I understand what he's going through, and its not his fault. its been removed from the site as of now, but read Jeff's it does justice to 1up.
 
"...I'll just say what would have been nice to read, instead: "Our website
is decimated. Our new owners failed to recognize the talent we had,
which comes as no surprise since their own website values
lowest-common-denominator pandering over quality content. We will do
our best to do what we can, despite the fact that they gutted us. This
fucking sucks."

1up was the last truthful game review site, and now they finally ended. After many losses like gfw magazine, egm, shawn Elliott, Jeff Green, and many more of the editorial staff, this was still a very unexpected turn for the worst, and I just hope all of the staff layed off will find a good job. great job UGO, you just killed a legacy, and an extremely large fanbase, be ready for no views on the new site.

When trying to install it just stops halfway and says the statistic servers are running and the install is aborted, kinda weird. *edit* closing itunes seems to have fixed it, or the servers are back to normal.

valve has confirmed there is no game save feature in the initial version of steam cloud, but probably be added later on.

If you stuck a VelociRaptor in a ps3, the power problem shouldnt matter cause theres no battery, tho the heat might. i wonder if the ps3 would load faster as well...

60$ for 2x2gb memory sticks is pretty good deal, plus it runs at 4-4-4-12, at ddr2 800, the most run at 5-5-5-15

Two words come to mind when you said gory games get boring, DEAD RISING, and i mean that game is the funnest, on the edge of your seat, laugh at crazy, game. I could play that all i want and still love chopping a guys arm off, or sticking a shower head into a zombies brain, making it shower blood everywhere, its all awesome,and never gets boring! Oh yea, games do not make ppl more violent. the jackass that brought that up for the first time probably has an ADHD kid that played a violent game and started reenacting parts of it, i have a friend who i "think" has ADD and he is doing that kinda crap all the time, only its world of warcraft crap he does.
