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.
