I was trying to get Prince Al-Waleed’s assistance in buying out SEGA but I never got a response back. I’m not kidding.

This was the only thing that was able to lift my spirits after the extremely disheartening news of the 1up/UGO merger and subsequent firings of senior staff members.

Couple that with getting the axe myself from my online outlet and my print outlet trimming way the fuck back in order to maintain daily distribution, it has been a rough few weeks for me and many others freelancing and just being a journalist in general.

Thanks guys,
