A (Somewhat) Lengthy Blog Update

Hey guys, it's Henry. I got a few things I want to share, and I encourage everyone to read the full post, as it's pretty important.

As you may have noticed, the Universe Mode series has been taking some steps backward. Although the series has been very successful, and I've loved seeing how much my blog has grown, I'm not having fun and each post has become a chore. That was Main Event was cancelled, several weeks have been missed and a few posts have been a day or two late. The biggest problem I've encountered is that the Universe Mode series has completely taken over my blog, not just in the amount of posts but the time it consumes. You may not realize this, but each post takes about 1 and a half to 2 hours to make. I certainly have that amount of time, but it uses up all the time I'm willing to work on my blog. After all, this blog is not the central aspect of my life, and I don't want to be working on it all the time. The time I do spend working on the blog is devoted entirely to Universe Mode and nothing else, which is not what this blog was supposed to be about.

I don't know the future of Universe Mode, or the blog in general. I'm contemplating posting the series once a week, a "Week in Review" type of thing, where I run through what happened on each show. I want to bring other content to my blog; I've wanted to post about MLB 16 The Show, I want to cover Madden when that releases, and I'll probably be reviewing several TV shows this fall. With all that in mind, I can't afford to be spending 6-8 hours a week on Universe Mode. It's just the reality of the situation. I'll be sure to keep you posted on the future of Universe Mode, but I don't think it's going away, if that's any consolation. It's my longest running series in the history of this blog, and I don't want to see it be cancelled.

-Henry

Henry's Universe Mode: 2017 WWE Draft

We are here today to conduct the first ever WWE Draft, where Raw and SmackDown competitors will learn the fates heading into Season 3 of Henry's Universe Mode.

Rules -Each brand will have five draft picks, ten picks total. -Champions are not eligible to be drafted. -Tag teams/stables can be drafted as a unit or individuals, depending on what the GM wants and what the wrestler wants. -Thanks to winning Brand Warfare, SmackDown will get the first pick, while Raw will get the last pick. The 2017 WWE Draft begins..........right now! Pick #1- SmackDown selects Brock Lesnar What a way to start of the draft, as the Beast Incarnate in heading to Tuesday Nights. Since losing to Samoa Joe a few weeks ago on Raw, we haven't seen anything from Brock Lesnar. This move will certainly have most of the SmackDown roster looking over their shoulder. ...

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...
