Whois & Analysis for 1up.com

1UP.com was an American entertainment website that focused on video games.

Launched in 2003, 1UP.com provided its own original features, news stories, game reviews, and video interviews, and also featured comprehensive PC-focused content (an extension of the previously published Games for Windows: The Official Magazine).

Like a print magazine, 1UP.com also hosted special week-long "online cover stories" (examples include Soulcalibur III, , and Virtua Fighter 5) that presented each day a new in-depth feature story, interview with the developers, game screenshot gallery, game video footage, and/or video of the game studio and creators.

A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or computer monitor.

The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but as of the 2000s, it implies any type of display device that can produce two- or three-dimensional images.

Some theorists categorize video games as an art form, but this designation is controversial.

A podcast is an episodic series of digital media files which a user can set up so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user's own local computer or portable media player.

Cheating in video games involves a video game player using non-standard methods to create an advantage or disadvantage beyond normal gameplay, in order to make the game easier or harder.

Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers), or created by third-party software (a game trainer) or hardware (a cheat cartridge).

They can also be realized by exploiting software bugs; this may or may not be considered cheating based on whether the bug is considered common knowledge.

Software bugs are very often considered software features and as long as they are common knowledge, it is questionable whether it is cheating.

A screenshot is an image of what is visible on a visual output device such as a computer monitor or television.

Usually, this is a digital image created by the operating system or software running on the device, but it can also be a photograph or a recording made by a device intercepting the video output of the display.
