Chris Cashman On The End Of 1 vs. 100

" That really sucks. When I first got an X360 that was one of my favorite things to play with my girl. A real shame... "

Heartbreaking :'(

Yeah, this remains pretty terrible.  I understand the supposed business reasons behind it, but I think by far 1 v. 100 was the most popular thing on Live for gold accounts and better at creating attachment to the service than almost anything else.
 
That they continue to stuff XBL with ads, horrendous videos, and "game with celebs" features makes it all the worse.

My mind is struggling with the concept of the cancelation of a video game...show....

was a sweet game. too bad its gone.

That really sucks. When I first got an X360 that was one of my favorite things to play with my girl. A real shame...

Too bad about this. My wife loved this game and I used to help on sports questions once in a while. Considering all the shit on the 360 dashboard, cancelling this seems rather petty.

Was anyone actually playing this recently?

I never did win anything playing 1 vs 100. 

Hey, it's tough for Microsoft to give away a couple of those 10$ points cards every other day. They had to save up for all those rad Kin advertisements.

Hahaha that was great. Farewell, Cashman! I heardly knew ya!

What is this Church or something? What's with all the depressing shit? 1 vs 100 was an excellent experiment and is sure to pave the way for more similar ventures, but has sadly been officially canceled after months of nothing. You already wrote that story earlier this week.
 
It's time to let it go. Nobody died. No reason to make this all depressing and mournful. Yes it sucks the dude lost his gig, but he's a talented host. I'm positive he can find something soon.

I love that man. 

I loved the game and Cashman hit a stride in season 2 that was really fun.  I loved his commentary on the various gamertags.

What the...This was certainly sudden.

Sad stuff, I actually rather enjoyed playing 1 v 100.

I never even got to play, bummer.

I continue to be extremely disappointed.

It's like the end of Bambi.

he yeah  
 
Ugh so close, this is the second time this week.

Huh?

I didn't think to ask, but I'm almost certain that Chris Cashman, host of 1 vs. 100, learned about the social game's official cancelation the same way you and I did: via press release by Microsoft earlier yesterday morning. Head high, though, the four-time Emmy award winner had nothing but polite things to say when we spoke via e-mail about the canned show, echoing a tone and forward-looking nature he had about the show just days prior to official word.

"Yeah... bummer," he told me via e-mail, when I asked him how he was taking the news of the cancelation. "I certainly hope to get a chance to play with Xbox again, but I have no idea what its up to next."

"It wasn't that long ago that I was blown away by having colored rubber bands on my braces, so getting to host the first live videogame ever is pretty much tops," he continued. "The Live platform is so cool and the streaming content is just way ahead of the curve, so I gotta assume it's all a part of a bigger picture. "
