Hello!

I was going to post this as a comment, but considering that the last thread is nearing 1000 comments (all positive) and takes about seventeen minutes to load, we may as well start anew.

I'm alive and unchanged. Seriously, I've just been working. A lot. It's been a less-than-ideal grind and I very much look forward to the current wave passing so I can get back to doing what I love to do best: Nothing, with a side of you.

Some of you have expressed interest in an early return for the Halloween Juke. I couldn't agree more and will try to include this soon as a partial mea culpa. I've been listening to that shit constantly, though I don't know if it has as much to do with me wanting Halloween as it does the fact that Geico's "Somebody's Watching Me" commercial airs 772 times each hour.

Also, there was an a site in circulation that evidently attempted to redirect users to a bad place. I cannot lie: I thought you guys were mistaken, but you were right, and the ad guys at UGO (and me) really, sincerely apologize for any trouble it caused. It's been eradicated and you should have no further trouble.

I finally watched that Clone Wars movie. Now, I was as hard on the prequels as anyone, but despite what seemed to be common opinion, I really didn't think it was bad at all. Granted, I fell asleep halfway through, but I'm assuming it grew no more offensive from there. Plus, the first reveal of Jabba's son, suddenly crawling out and goo-goo gah-ing with absolutely no build or fanfare, cracked me up so much that I had to rewind the scene seven times before watching the rest of (or the rest of the first half of) the movie.

Very odd to hear an ice cream truck's jingle playing during a thunderstorm in early April, but I swear, I just did.

Halloween juke?
Awesome.

Chestnuts roasted by JoshC @ 04/06/2009 3:09 PM

Sweet, I love’s me some Halloween juke. Good luck on pushing through your busy work schedule. I know how that is, I have to study like 6 million hours a week. Here’s a tip to everyone, NEVER go to medical school… ever… not even once.

NOOOO!

I wanted to see the Darkside go a whole month.

X-E Matt, we could have all made history together. Crap.

Welcome back, Matt!

Why isn’t XE on Twitter yet? Come on, some of us are addicts and we need XE on there to share in our addiction.

Ps – @saturdaymorning

Wait…did i miss the conclusion to the Advent Calendar?

Chestnuts roasted by guidedbyvenkman @ 04/06/2009 3:37 PM

Kudos to the Advent comment. I was thinking the same thing.

I think it was a good idea you started a new thread Matt. Otherwise, people may grow suspicious and not think that the comment was by you and instead by some clone or troll impersonating you. STill, good to have you back and I never doubted you left us but assumed you were busy.

Anyway, watching Opening Day baseball. Unfortunately, the only game I can catch is the New York Mets vs. Cincinnati. Both the White Sox and Red Sox had their games postponed, the Rangers are playing on a local station in Dallas so it’s not available in Central Texas, and the Cubs don’t play until tonight when they’re in Houston. Oh well, not like there’s anything else to do…for now.

I feel so strange. I have read this site for what seems like five or six years (Has it been that long?) without commenting once. For the past few months I have continued to check the site daily, patiently waiting for new updates. I had neglected it for days before deciding, hey, I’ll just read through the comment thread and see if there is any news. After I caught up on that, seeing old familiar names spar with whiners, I refresh the page to find this! Just keep in mind that, just as there are more loyal commenters than the whiners, there are those of us out here that like what you do when you do it, and totally understand when you don’t.

Ooo I second the twitter idea! Get on it, Matt!

For some odd reason there are ice cream trucks around my neighborhood all year round. I am not saying there is always one driving around, but there were quite a few times this past winter that one drove past my house with the music blaring.

Rock me Amadeus!

Chestnuts roasted by SNT Prediction. @ 04/06/2009 3:47 PM

The sun has come out on my rainy day.

Thank you Matt. It felt like another part of my childhood was going down the drain ;-;

(Despite the fact that I’m not one of the regulars, I’ve been coming for like 8 years now…I was just entering my double digits when I first read these articles.)

Thank you Matt u.u

Chestnuts roasted by ThePlatinumStag @ 04/06/2009 3:57 PM

Welcome back Matt!

I highly recommend catching the later episodes of Clone Wars. If possible, netflix the 4 episode DVD “A Galaxy Divided”. If the movie is like a so-so 80′s animated adventure movie, then the tv series is like “Batman: the animated series” (they even share some of the staff from Batman)!

He liiiiiiives.

Chestnuts roasted by Will @ 04/06/2009 4:12 PM

Hi Matt!

A couple months ago, I was in Texas with my husband, visiting his parents. There was an ice cream truck driving around the neighborhood. For one, I didn’t think ice cream trucks still existed and for two, it was fucking February!

Chestnuts roasted by Annette @ 04/06/2009 4:20 PM

You should totally check out the clone wars tv series if you like the movie, its really awsome, perhaps a little bit more serious than the film, but still brilliant.

Ive been contemplating what ever happened to little rotta the huttlett. My theory is that he fell into jabbas frog jar and jabba consumed him. Any other ideas?

Awsome to hear from you matt. You were sincerely missed.

Chestnuts roasted by ory_bloodmyre @ 04/06/2009 4:24 PM

Good to have you back, Matt. Try not to work too hard.

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 04/06/2009 4:28 PM

I second the comment about the Clone Wars series. it is really good. Like all Star Wars fare there are a few uncomfortably awkward points in the plot lines and the dialogue is atrocious but overall it is very well done.

Chestnuts roasted by drew do @ 04/06/2009 4:51 PM

Is it just my neighborhood or do all Ice Cream trucks go by at 40 mph? Seriously…how the *%*# do they expect me to catch them and purchase their potentially tainted wares if they fly by at the speed of friggin light? :-(

Chestnuts roasted by Cricket @ 04/06/2009 4:56 PM

You’ve gotta love Clone Wars! I mean there is a saturday morning Star Wars show on and they’re selling new Star Wars toys, so what’s not to love, ah?

Also I was reading one of your older articles and there was this article about those old Star Wars mailorder toys (or something…) and how that’s good marketing. WELL… you know what I love about those new Clone Wars toys? Well there are like five characters that each have a part of a new character… so you buy one and get a left leg and so on untill you have all five figures and you can put together the new sixth one that’s an awesome looking robot guy. So cool…

Or maybe I’ll just go to bed and sleep. Sleep…

Yeah I cant wait for clone wars series to come out on DVD. Ages til it does though, theyre gonna release em like two episodes on a disc or somthing to start off with, then you can buy the box set ages and ages away. Which sucks a bit, but somthing to look forward to.

And next year we get the live action star wars tv series. Yey!

Chestnuts roasted by ory_bloodmyre @ 04/06/2009 5:06 PM

An early Halloween Juke does that mean no Summer Juke, oh drat!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Shawn @ 04/06/2009 5:08 PM

I LOVE the sounds of ice cream trucks! They’ve started to come through my neighborhood . Whenever I hear one, I think of Sweetooth from Twisted Metal. Welcome back Matt. Thankfully the pesky trolls are gone for now. Hopefully you can get through your busy schedule so you can spend more time on X-E.

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 04/06/2009 5:09 PM

Speaking of early and/or late holday fanfare, I’d just like to mention that my hometown still has no less then three homes still fully decorated for Christmas. My wife insists she’s also seen one home that has a full Halloween display up, until I see it though I have my doubts.

So has anyone else encountered time displaced holiday displays?
