Exciting Milestone!

Malex — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:05:26 +0000

Hey all, it's taken about three years, but I am pleased to finally report that the code for the new site is complete! Here are some highlights of what you can expect from the new site when it goes live:

Spring Hiatus!

Malex — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:37:11 +0000

Hey all! Just a quick note to remind you all that the Spring Hiatus is now upon us. Malex Minute and Contradictionary are now both suspended until the Summer.

But not to fret! We're already quite busy over here making great new stuff and getting ready for the Summer Launch Party! There will be a lot of activity as we gear up for the summer, so stay tuned!

As we move into a whole quarter of irregular updates, be sure to subscribe to our mailling list and/or follow us on Twitter to make sure you don't miss a thing!

Thanks, and have a great day!

Malex Minute 208

Malex — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

The Grand Quarter Sixteen Finale, Part Three of Three! Wherein there is great resolution! Our heroes meet both the Facesmith and an unexpected twist! Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.

Contradictionary - Hamster Wheel

Quartz — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

Disclaimer: This comic does in no way, shape, or form, or under any imaginable circumstance, represent with any instructive, useful, or significant level of accuracy any historical, scientific, or actual landmarks in scholarly pursuits of any kind; this never happened, neither did behavioral psychologists need to perform this kind of experimentation on any animal to ascertain that a wheel shape on an axle would indulge without measure the typical hamster's evident and indomitable tendency to run, and run, and run.

Nobody's really that stupid, you cynic.

Contradictionary - Weirdo

Quartz — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

weird-o'

1. a person who strives entirely in vain for a social life due to the other weirdos he's stuck being friends with

2. a person whose life is made a constant flow of ambivalence due to extraneous circumstances

3. a person who can't seem to "get it together"

4. a person with serious issues

5. a person like Nixy

Going Dark

Malex — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:44:24 +0000

Hey all, not to alarm you, but if all goes according to plan, MalexMedia.Net® will be going offline for a little while next month. (That would be March. (In case you were wondering.))

I'm not sure when yet, or exactly for how long, but this downtime will be necessary for us to move everything to the new servers and start all of the transitioning we're planning on doing during the Spring hiatus.

I'll announce more when I know more. For now, have a great day!

ttyl!

Malex Minute 207

Malex — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

The Grand Quarter Sixteen Finale, Part Two of Three! Wherein there is great opposition! Our heroes embark on the long journey to Mount Gloom to have the round blue face re-forged in the fires from whence it came! Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.

Contradictionary - Snowmen

Quartz — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

Okay, when I saw that it was time to write the text for this one, I honestly thought, "Oh dear. ... This one cannot be explained."

And so it cannot. I'm afraid you will get no explanation for this one.

Dissatisfied customers may have their money back. All refunds will be handled in Robin Hood's barn.

Contradictionary - Quantum Mechanics

Quartz — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

Through a certain way of looking at certain quantum mechanic theories with a certain tenuousness of understanding, it almost seems to suggest that solid objects could pass through each other - but that such a thing is unimaginably improbable.

I am no quantum theorist, so this may be a gross mangling of the theory.

But, after all, what is safe from the gross mangling Contradictionary administers?

Malex Minute 206

Malex — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

The Grand Quarter Sixteen Finale, Part One of Three! Wherein there is great exposition! Our heroes are escorted to the top floor of the Hotel Vertex and everything is explained! Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.

Filming Stuff

Malex — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:50:52 +0000

When one is producing a video show, one is invariably forced to adopt a process which involves producing video of one sort or another. Upon this much, I expect, we can all agree. The large questions come into play when one is considering the quantity, the quality, and the… nature, of the video one wishes to produce.

In the past two days, I have been experimenting with the “pain = quality” method. And, if my wheezing, trembling shell of a body is any indication, we have achieved a high standard of quality indeed.

In the past two days I have impacted a wider variety of objects, at substantially higher velocities, than I had done over the entire prior year. Since my lifestyle does not generally revolve around impacting objects at high rates of speed, I grant that this is not necessarily a high claim. However, the results on the film are evidence enough of the passion with which I am pursuing my craft.

You will be forced to see, with your eyes, when the work is complete. And you will laugh. Just remember that even after your cheap, hollow laughter fades, my injuries will remain.

ttyl!

Contradictionary - Ending

Quartz — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0000

Have you ever known something was going to happen, and had no way of preventing it? Well, Timby knows how you feel now*...

Except, you might not have had the added trauma that Timby did of the sudden, candid disclosure that his life is a comic. And that there are probably people laughing at his pain.

... People like you.

* - We lied. Timby has no nerve endings in his body, thus felt no pain at this juncture.

Contradictionary - Tuesday
