How do you know that they're not on vacation? TBC have taken breaks from the website several times in the past to focus on other things. Since they basically employ themselves, they're allowed to do that as much as they want.

Matt has also mentioned in interviews that he is doing enough voice acting for the game that he is having more throat issues than usual, which could potentially butcher any plans for regular Homestar updates.

Since it's doubtful that they have completed development on most of the episodes, I'd expect Monday updates to be late or a more sporadic for at least a couple more months.

They're almost certainly working on their game, that's what I say. And since they're giving us those fanstuffs all the same, they're still there. I wouldn't worry about it, they'll be back in full force soon enough. Plus, throat ailments like that are very common for people who do extensive voice acting. Andy Serkis ended up having to drink this lemon honey mixture just to speak normally when he was going his Gollum work.

Well...uh...here's your update for this week.

Who needs emails? It's refreshing to see more of Bubs.

Don't updates usually get slow in the first part of the summer?

Weren't you the one who said we needed less Strong Bad and more other characters? Or am I making stuff up again?

They've taken a break in updating without giving an explanation before. I don't see what the big deal is, especially when they have something else to be working on.

What's your problem with the game, anyway?

I don't particularly care for the Wii console, as it's too complicated for me to understand and figure out. I believe I tried it once a few years ago and could not get used to it; it was just too hard to figure out. Whatever happened to just using simple controllers like in the good ol' days? Even Game Cube used the simple controller.
