Rest Stop

Today we have a comic. Not likely to be our last comic, but certainly the end of our regularly updated dailies. Check back occassionally, or subscribe to our RSS feed for updates when we do them. I really do not know exactly what sort of schedule we will keep, but three times a week it will not be, at least not for now.

Again, thanks everybody who read our comic. We genuinely enjoyed producing it, even when the results fell short not just of your expectations but of our own. The amount of learning I have done from this project cannot be measured. I am very grateful and thankful to all the real-life MNC counterparts, to both Dover and MAD for tolerating my rants about quality, and to anybody who deigned to read our little side project these past few years. The Monday Night Crew has run for exactly 334 comics (335 if you count the one we never posted), and from this side, I cannot thank readers enough for participating in our chance to be creative, even within our tiny spaces. Creating is an itch that can never fully be scratched, never completely satiated, but is utterly without meaning in the dark. Your readership, even if it was only sporadic, is a light I cannot quantify in lumens or break down into photons. Rather, it radiates within and spreads out from the soul.

Anyway, thanks. We’ll be seeing you again soon.

That’s All . . . For Now

This isn’t the end of the MNC website, but rather an end to our regularly updated comic schedule. Like I mentioned last week, Irving and I are going to be working on a brand new project that steers away from gaming webcomics and into a whole new - dare I say unexplored - territory. This new project won’t be on its feet for awhile, and when it does finally happen, it won’t be a quick update. We’d like to do more of a big pop of stuff, then fade to the blackness to work again. Once you’ve forgotten about us, BAM! We pop up again. It will be glorious.

I plan on posting on the front page every once in a while to keep the truly loyal readers abreast of our situation and to tell anyone interested about my personal life. My schooling will only get more difficult from here on out, so my MNC dedicated time will take a hit.

I will be attending PAX later this week. In tow, I’ll have Winyder, my girlfriend, my old roommate Rick, and two other MNC members, Brenna and her husband. I’m bringing my Nintendo DSi and plan to start the longest Mixed Message game in history. If you don’t know what Mixed Messages is, follow this link.

My game still has 500 save slots left on it, so I’m going to be able to keep the message going for around 470 or so people. Once finished, I’ll film the entire game, edit it, and put it on my YouTube page for everyone to enjoy. If you are going to be at PAX, please try and find me. I’ll be posting on my Twitter page (make sure to follow me!) every so often so you can find me. In order to make life easier, you can find me at the Nintendo booth on Saturday at noon. I’ll try and hang out there for about an hour or so. Look for the guy in a black Shoryuken shirt with the hot chick hanging around him. Ask for Dover, MNC, Ben, or Mixed Messages guy.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. I really appreciate everyone who came to our site and sent us emails. Remember to keep gaming and enjoy life. Life is too short to be angry, depressed, or wasted away on foolish endeavors. So have so fun!

See ya when I see ya!
