Uproxx

Uproxx, stylized UPROXX, is an American digital media company and blog network focused on linking web culture and traditional entertainment.

History

Uproxx was founded in 2008 by Jarret Myer and Brian Brater, who both also co-founded Rawkus Records and Big Fra.me. They created Uproxx "after realizing well written, well produced blogs were far more interesting than anything else going on in the entertainment industry" and formed the site with the owners of With Leather, Flim Drunk, Rawkus and five others. Uproxx.com is targeted to the reach male 18–34 consumer.

In April 2014, Uproxx was acquired by Woven Digital and co-founder Jarret Myer joined Woven as General Manager of Publishing. Uproxx acquired Dime Magazine, in January 2015, to expand the sports division of the site.

The second episode, which posted exclusively to Facebook's native video player, was viewed more than 4 million times in the first 24 hours and more than 9 million in the first 48 hours. In March 2015, the entertainment news site launched The Desk, its first daily 'news' show along with the second episode of Luminaries. In April 2015, Uproxx Docs, a documentary-style series, was launched with a three-part piece on Guns N' Roses.

The prophecy

by: Opera Ix

My name is no-one and a thousand, but the old sages crowned me Queen Mother
I am the breath you can hear among the leaves of the trees
My sap emerges from the deep lakes flowing into the rivers and into the immense oceans
My blood, hot and violent, cleaves the grounding a blazing trail left by a fire dragon
Dark and deep is my womb where I generate any form of life
Here, the ancient learned to receive the old supreme art
I have created sprites and guardians, fools and sages to defend my original power
Hidden in a language written on stone shapes and symbols
Many where the children who worshipped my thousand faces with honour and respect
And I, good and terrible, fed them at my sacred springs with water and dragon's flash
Now I'm dying and so are all my faithful servants that men called Gods of Pagos
Now, the power of the only god hangs over me
And worse my fate will be if they forget about me
And with me the most ancient legend carried on by purest emotions will end
Follow the ancient path and don't turn to the false light
Raise your arms to heaven and you'll be protected
Let the spirit walk with your body and draw the cross in the circle
Abandon the sufferings that belong to your false nature
Love me and I will love you
Hate me and I will devour you
Descent into my crypts where the darkness of life reigns
And nourish the eternal sacred flame
Defend your brother tree and your sister stone because their lives are mine
Follow the snakes' trail
