Damn. This week really has been really hectic and full of confusion. First of all, UGO/Hearst bought 1UP. This resulted in the closing of EGM, 1UP Podcasts (including the 1UP Show), and 44 employees laid off (including many long-time 1UP veterans). I was filled with anger at first, but when I realized that Ziff Davis was losing money rapidly, I figured that it was a good thing for them in the long run. It was really a shock to many people, including me. What made 1UP unique and special is now mostly gone. I hate it when people say that 1UP will be the same. Face it, it won't be. The good news is that most of the laid off staff got to work on new podcasts/thoughts for the future. Here's a list of the sites/podcasts.
www.talkingorange.com - Ryan and Matt's new site! They said that they are still making video podcasts!
www.eat-sleep-game.com - Nick, Anthony, Philip, and Arthur Gies's new site! Rebel FM is now LIVE!
www.geekbox.net - Ryan Scott's site! He will be hosting another podcast!
Please support them!

Well, onto my life. I've had so many presentations and projects due this week, and finals are coming up right around corner. I have so many borderline grades...two C+'s, two B-'s. It's really frightening to think of what my grades will become after the final if I don't study. Looks like I actually have to try this year. I gave my English speech yesterday. It was under the time limit, but I got a 94% on it (320/340) so I'm happy, and I gave my Spanish presentation today. I think we did pretty well on it. So now I only have one more presentation left! An easy (hopefully) History project. Oh..but I also have a huge Math review test tomorrow. 50% of my grade...even more than finals which is 20%. Ugh..I forgot so much material..looks like I have study like crazy tonight. We are doing (and almost done) Table Tennis in P.E.! Haha! It's the most fun I had in P.E. this year besides Ultimate Frisbee.

Time for some gaming :) Version 6.58 for DoTA just came out! New Remakes of Dirge and Storm Spirit! New Visuals! Wow! This update has been extremely fun and well done. Good job IceFrog. (BTW IceFrog has a blog now...it's at www.icefrog.com) I haven't played in about a month though..so I really need to brush up my skills again.
Alright this is all for now..I've got to be a nerd and study study study and work work work.
