Aw, maaaannn....


Just found out on Kotaku that groundbreaking, massively multiplayer/multiviewer game-show 1vs100 has been cancelled after two seasons. This really bums me out. For it's two seasons, I ended up playing with some regularity. In my home life, I've sworn off watching broadcast television. This is largely due to me hating having to maintain a tv-watching schedule. 1vs100 was the first thing in a long time I actually made it a point to be home for, when I could remember it. There are some allegations that it's cancellation is due to mismanagement, but who knows? It would be nice to know that the game was cancelled for a reason, other than poor "ratings". There is some speculation that Microsoft will push forward with different projects, using 1vs100's framework. So, there's hope. However, I have to worry that it'll come with it's own price tag to go alongside it's commercial advertising.

So long, Chris Cashman, we hardly knew ye.
