I had the great pleasure of working on this showcase again. There are some real killers in the lineup this time. Worth a watch!

I haven’t really played games for like a year or more but @skatestory.com releasing tomorrow with that @bloodcultures.bsky.social soundtrack… ooof. I’m downloading drivers and software updates. Keeps bringing me back.

It’s weird that my mayor lives in NYC while I live in Los Angeles, but life is weird like that sometimes.

More game coverage should be like the golden era of 1UP.

Oh man… it was the most fun. God, it would have been incredible to have you there with us.

Yeah man, it was such a fun time to be working in that space. We got away with a lot. But the energy was incredible. And I hope you like it! I think there’s some really fun stuff in there.

If anybody wants to fund a prestige television show that starts with a bunch of knuckleheads making gaming magazines and websites and ends a few seasons later with a very conservative gaming industry and a side order of fascism, I’ve got some good ideas.

Still have that bag lol. It’s a bit more worn, but still gets used!

Oof. Bitter sweet revisiting this... the credits roll on 1UP is the size of three or four full outlets in today's games media landscape. This a video game podcast from twenty years ago. The industry has grown considerably since then. wtf.

The 1UP Show was one of the biggest influences in my media career and inspired me to create video content. Seeing how cool their office was and the creativity that oozed from each episode, they really raised the bar. What Casey Neistat did to vlogging they did to video games media.

I have no idea if The 1UP Show is actually the foundational text to modern games media that it always will feel like to me, but, man, what a great little thing that brought videogames out of darkened living rooms and message boards and into the light.

If you choose to praise the show today, please do so only in contemporary vernacular. It’ll make me smile.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true. I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had. I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Dreaming of a @carolineloveglow.bsky.social shoegaze record. With her songwriting, I bet it would be an instant forever favorite.

Only two of these three episodes have @nin.com in them. Apologies for my lack of consistency.

Ryan O’Donnell @ryanodonnell.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Probably also like a Friday Night Lights one (or two). Fargo. Seinfeld. The fuckin Pitt. That one episode of Black Mirror. Something from Girls or High Maintenance. But they can’t all be the best.

Best Television Episodes Twin Peaks S3E8 Mad Men S4E7 The Bear S3E1 Runners up The Andor Jailbreak. Probably like 1-2 of the weird Atlanta ones. And like two other episodes from The Bear season 2.

Also, we had a dumb idea for a sketch for @timoflegend.bsky.social‘s intro/outro. That he just ran with it and actually made it good was a sight to behold! Plus, it was very much to do all the “bad” graphics for it. Always wanted to try my hand at a local cable TV commercial 🤣
