foogledricks Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 The 1up podcast is my favorite podcast, out of all podcasts available. And a big part of that is Luke Smith. I find him very entertaining, and an important component to that podcast. I'm kind of sad about it actually. I have to admit my man crush. He won't say where he's going. But I wouldn't be surprised if it were Microsoft. Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 He did mention that were he was going that he wouldn't be able to say some things anymore. I think he is going to MS or Sony. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 He's going to bungie. They said it at the end of 1up yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle M. Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 That sucks. I always saw him as the outspoken one, who wouldn't constrain what he wanted to say. I'll keep up with the1upshow as I have loved it since I found out about it on the 8th episode, and he will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Apparently he's going there to "revive" the Bungie podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Apparently he's going there to "revive" the Bungie podcast.That can't be it. At least, not by itself. There isn't enough material to cover in a podcast for one developer. At least, to make it interesting. Even if it is Bungie. Sure, the podcast could be interesting for a few months, but really, how interesting is a podcast going to be dedicated to such a specific topic. I stopped listening to Major Nelson's podcast simply because there just aren't enough interesting things going on within only the 360 world to make it interesting. That being said, I'd be VERY interested in a Luke hosted bungie podcast as Halo 3 ramps up. And even Halo Wars after that. I just think he must have some other responsibility. Like perhaps Frank O'conner is leaving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'm curious as to what he'll be doing also. Community Manager is always a good guess with things like this, but Frank O'Conner is there for that. I guess he could be moving up within the company too. I guess we'll see though. I am a bit disappointed that he's leaving though. I started listening to the 1UP podcasts rather religiously a few months ago, and 1UP Yours is of course my favorite and the Podcasts have really changed my habits in game website surfing. I used to be on Gamespot almost exclusively, and would barely ever visit 1UP because I find the site slow and confusing. While it's still slow, and still poorly designed, I've been visiting it way more than Gamespot lately. I think the main reason for that is because the Podcasts (and 1up Show) really give the editors a chance to create even more of a personality for themselves. More than the magazines, blogs and online articles ever can, and you feel like you get to know the guys and wish you could be sitting with them talking about games the way they do. I'm sure 1UP Yours will continue on nicely. Shane will always be entertaining, and I really like John a lot too, and you can throw in Mark McDonald or Brian Intihar, and you're good. I'm more concerned about Legendary Thread. Luke's really the reason I listen to it every week, as he always manages to say something that cracks me up every week.

Lutter Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Seeing as 1UP/EGM/GFW are all standing on pretty shakey ground right now with Ziff Davis looking to dump them on a whim, I gotta say this was a pretty good move. The guy is also a Bungie fanatic, so I'm sure he just couldn't say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Really? What's the backstory on that? ZD's had them up for sale for a couple months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
