I don't know if any of you guys had a tough time this year, but to me it wasn't very productive. This year a lot of things got in my way for some reason and the development on FSM 7 eventually collapsed on itself during the first 5 months.
Basically this is what I had to go through in 2009.
1) Me feeling burned out and unmotivated after making 2 back to back episodes in 2008
2)Having a few problems with some of the castmembers due to money issues (thanks to the global recession), thus causing them to "pull a Houdini" on me on a few occasions. I'm not giving out names here for obvious reasons.
3) My family going through a bit of a financial crisis.
4) I'm still unemployed despite going job hunting during the summer time. I mostly got offers from Herba Life, but I'm not interested in buying their product...
5) Ouka's Hard drive crash affected the development of the episode a few months back, that and other things are getting in his way. I don't blame him really. He's a very talented and busy guy after all.
6)My Laptop's hard drive also crashed on the 16th. It's hard to recover after such a loss, thankfully I made a backup of FSM 7 though. I also decided to inform my fans on youtube about the situation, and thankfully they've been supportive about it.
7) Me going through a bit of depression late this year due to financial issues and bad grades this semester in my university. I know each semester gets tougher, but DAMN! I was having trouble concentrating in class for some reason.
Now despite most of the bad stuff, some good things have come out of this
1) MK Mishaps Gold was made after much fan demand, though it only lasted 2 days on the front page due to Madness Day. Bad timing, huh?
2) Developing a few side projects, one was this one and there were others where Osuka was involved. We were both working on a top secret project code named "RR". Click here to check out what he's upto.
3) I got my first ad revenue payment this year. It may not be much, but it was something.Thanks Tom.
4) Working on another Queen+LoZ Flash, but left it on hold in favor of FSM 7. You'll see it eventually.
Overall this year was a pretty bumpy road for me and I hope 2010 makes up for it. I got to be optimistic about all this. Sorry for the long rant though. Just thought I'd explain my situation to the rest of my fans here and wish you guys a Happy New Year.
If things go well, you might see some pretty interesting surprises in 2010. You never know.
Again, happy new year.

Dude, if that was the stuff that was holding you back... then we'll understand, well, i do at least. Most of us are going through financial problems..... computers do crash every once in a while, and people disappearing, well, that can't be helped, besides, having one rough year won't mean the end, we'll wait, you get your life back in order, and we'll settle with the wait time, i understand people do get impatient, but they can go play some game while they wait, i would like to see A DARN GOOD FLASH THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY WASN'T RUSHED, A FLASH THAT MAKES YOU PROUD
and that will end my piece
