Hiatus

Sep. 13, 2010

Just an announcement, but I will be taking an indefinite hiatus from updating the site. A lot of big things are happening at Explosm (you know, that other site I do) and I'm taking on a lot more responsibility. As such, I want to put all my focus and attention into it.

I don't plan on completely abandoning this site, not at all. I'll have sporadic updates here and there, but I won't keep up the regular M-W-F schedule.

I'll still be twittering and facebooking and tumblring my butt off as usual, so I'll still be around. I love nothing more than goofing around in the comments with all of you, so pick your social networking mumbo jumbo of choice and join me!

For now, though, I leave you with a picture of a dancing butt.

May you and your dancing butt do well in all that you endeavor.
P.S. Can you get it so we can sign in to post through Facebook? :D

As a fellow anonymous poster, I agree with Anonymous here and say you should include Facebook. Twitter is non-satisfying.

I was thinking about adding it, but seeing as how I'm taking a hiatus, now isn't the best time to do that. If I pick the site back up full-time, I'll definitely do that.

YEAH SIGNING IN WITH FACEBOOK WOULD BE AWESOME EXCEPT YOUR NAME WILL BE EXPOSED AND I DONT KNOW IF YOU KNOW IT BUT IN 50 YEARS THAT IS GOING TO COME BACK AND AFFECT YOU RATHER ADVERSELY CAUSE SOMEWHERE FAR UP THE CHAIN OF FACEBOOK'S PARENTAGE THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER AND EVERYTHING DONE WITH YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WILL BECOME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE I.E. THE NAZIS WILL HAVE YOU FUCKIN PEGGED

Hey Matt,

Can you give us just a little sporadic update? We just want to know that you still care... even a picture of, say, a dancing butt from a different angle will suffice

I just don't have the time anymore. This was always a side project and now we're doing so much with Explosm that I'd get burnt out with a big project like this site. Hopefully things will mellow down soon, but for the time being, it's full speed ahead with Explosm.

We need more reviews of movies he hasn't seen. For example, Thor is about a guy who's dad throws a fit so he fights robots and is sent to earth to try and live a normal life but then robots attack earth so he and his mangy hair must punch them while everyone runs scared and then Samuel L. Jackson comes up to him and says "Yes, this was pretty much another trailer for the avengers lmao"

I haven't seen it. Really.
