Hey guys, thanks for all your comments and encouragement on the YouTube page.

I thought I should let you all know the score so far with regards to the videos, or lack of! We have given some thought to what we want to film next, for now at least, the fear vids series is on hold. We hope to do either Condemned, or bioshock or something like that, we've heard good things about both of those games.

Mack has been working on a corporate video these past few months for his company, when he is working on a project we are unable to do any filming/editing as his computer and equipment is occupied by the job at hand, so when we do a mackandmesh vid we have to do it when there is a gap in his projects. Unfortunately, this project has been a long one hence why there has been no video as of yet.

I'm afraid this is something that is out of our control guys, as we all know, its the jobs and the money that pays the bills therefore they must come before hobbies ;)

We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope to get you a video very soon! Hang in there :D

Yes thats right, we're back. First things first, please accept apologies from the both of us for having the site down for so long. Due to shifting personal priorities, we couldn't afford to keep the hosting plan that we had, we have managed to get it hosted here (in my personal webspace) temporarily while we try to figure out where to put the site! We're trying to find a cheap hosting plan that will allow us to host our own vids, which would be nice.

To get us back on track, we are planning to do a video of a certain game that may make you all giddy :) We are not sure whether we will finish the FEAR series, we have had a few discussions about this and for the moment we are unsure. I've put a "who?" link on the side here for those who are new to our little site, provides a little backstory outlining the history of the Mack and Mesh idea and how it has progressed.

Another point to make is that the Forum is disabled. Sadly, we have lost the old forum because when we cancelled the hosting plan we didn't realise it would be effective immediately, they cut us off and I wasn't able to make a backup, I'm not a MySQL wizard though so even if I had, I probably wouldn't have been able to put it into a new forum anyway hehe. So for now there is no forum, if I find that theres a big need for one then I'll look into getting one up here but for now I'll leave it.

Also because of the lack of hosting we have no mackandmesh emails either :( OH MY GOD I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE, WE'RE SHOCKING! hehe. Buuuuut I have recently set up a You Tube account for Mack and Mesh so if you wish to leave a comment or message for Me/Mack then please head over to http://www.youtube.com/user/MackandMesh

Relating slightly to this whole You Tube phenomenon that you cool kids these days tend to use, I would like to give a big thanks to xPlatoon for uploading all the vids to his space over there on the You Tube, it has allowed us to harvest... I mean, reach quite a lot of new viewers! I have read most of the comments on the vids there when I've been bored ;) and I must say I was very impressed with the positive responses we have gotten from you all, I loved reading the timestamps and quotes of your favourite bits and I must say I even had a chuckle at myself! Infact the sheer amount of positive comments was part of the reason we decided to come back! So pat yourselves on the back and pat xPlatoon on the back while you're at it.

In closing I shall say that its good to be back, and I hope we have as good a time making our future videos as we have had making our past ones.

Fear Video 3? Thats right its here! 16 minutes long and full of comedy, get it from our videos section now, hope you enjoy it! :)

- Mesh

If you're interested in learning a little more about us then head on over to http://www.thelairofthemonkey.co.uk/blog/?p=188 to read the interview with us. Thanks to Mr Butterscotch for doing this :)

Finally! I hear you all cry? Yes thats right, we have released the FEAR video number 2, we must apologise for the delay. This is because this little project has had to take a back seat as a hobby due to our schedules! But enough about that, you can download the movie from our videos section, enjoy :)

- Mesh

Well as we promised, the FEAR videos start here! :) This game has scared me quite alot but I had a good time playing it and am looking forward to the next session, so its not too scary! You can as always, find it in the Videos section. Expect to see more videos soon and enjoy this first installment!

- Mesh

I am happy to announce that the forums are now fixed and back up. However, if anyone experiences any problems please email me, as the way I fixed it was, shall we say, a bit bodged or unusual.

So anyway I would like to apologise on behalf of our shocking domain people or hosting, whoever it was who ruined our database in the first place! :P

Also, FEAR will be coming soon so keep checking back, we are still alive, we promise :)

- Mesh

May I present to you all, Alien Vs Predator 2, Video Number 2. It is, as always, available in the Videos section of the site. Go there now and download it! Not much I can say about it yet because I haven't even seen it! Thats how "Hot off the press" it is.

Enjoy it! And check the forums regularly to find out which game we'll be doing next.

-- Edit: Just watched the movie and saw that it said in the credits that I'll be playing F.E.A.R next! Well thanks for telling me Mack!

- Mesh

Well hello there everyone, As alot of you may already know, the AvP video has been released, and you can find it in the Videos section of the website. This has been delayed for a while but it is finally here, not only that, but you can expect part 2 to arrive in the very near future!

We hope you enjoy these ones!

- Mesh

I am happy to announce that the forums are now open again. However, I have deleted nearly every post, you may not like this but I feel a fresh start was in order, from the SHEER amount of spam there was! When you post now, please use the specific forums for your chosen topic, and please don't post up any useless stuff, it clogs the forums and annoys other users. Thanks

On the up side, we have a new video for you all, no, it isn't me doing Alien vs Predator. We havcen't been able to film that yet as Mack has moved into a new office and there have been boxes everywhere and there has basically not been a suitable environment to film the video, we will get it to you soon, promise :P

This new video though, is from City of Heroes, the Massive Multiplayer online super hero game we have been playing. It is a recruitment video for our "Super Group" or "guild" if you will. It is made in a different style to the typical Mack and Mesh videos, so don't expecting to be laughing your back off at it :) You can find the link on our videos page

- Mesh

I'm afraid I must inform you all that the Alien Vs Predator video has been delayed, this is due to me being ill for over two weeks. We aim to get the video finished next week or the week after as I am still not fully recovered. We do apologise for this but there really wasnt anything that could be done about it.

On a different note, the forums have been under alot of discussion recently, for all the spam and such they have contained and we have decided to lock them until further notice, so that we can decide on the future use of them. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

As some of you may have read in the forum, we have been feeling the financial pinch lately from this project of ours. We originally put in an equal share of money and it is dwindling, details of our costs/shopping list can be found on our new donations page if you are interested.

Also, if you donate £5 GBP or more, we can make you a VIP Member on our forum! Your Rank will change to reflect this and show you as a "VIP Member" to all of your friends!

So at the end of the day, if you have watched and enjoyed our videos and would like us to keep going with more games and such, then empty your digital piggy banks and goto our paypal powered donations page :) All donations will go towards acquiring items on the list detailed on the page. Thank You.

Well hello again. We apologise for the delay on this, again due to real life work commitments :) but here it is, the 5th and final video in the "Mesh Does Half Life 2" series. This video may contain heavy spoilers as it shows parts of me completing the game. Just so you're all aware.

You can download the video here

- Mesh

Yes that's right, after a long wait through the Christmas holidays, video number 4 has been released, thank you all for bearing with us, you can head on over to the videos section to download part 4 now!

We hope you all had a nice Christmas and that Santa brought you lots of lovely presents. We also hope you had a good New Year full of drunken goodness.

The final video, number 5, should be released soon, we're not sure what kind of special ending (if any!) we're doing yet, most likely one of us will have a brainstorm during filming, so if I were you! I would keep checking back here often.

- Mesh

As we are still not ready for Video 4 of Half-Life2 we decided that we needed to cheer all our fans up with some merry Christmas cheer. So after filming some of the HL2 Video 4 footage on Wednesday I asked Mesh if he fancied having another go at Doom 3, on a level he has not played. I also added a video that I made back in October, yes it's finally here, the dreaded outtakes from Mesh does Doom Video 5. For all those unfamiliar to video 5 I suggest you watch that before you see the outtakes or it will not be as funny.

A word on the outtakes video, you know how sometimes if you laugh too much you end up laughing at just about anything? Well we were like that through most of the outtakes video, enjoy and have a Happy Christmas.

- Mack

I feel I must apologise for our recent blatent dis-regard for our "Mesh does..." deadlines. We did promise to try and bring you a new video every Friday, but at this time of year, we have real life commitments, such as copious amounts of Christmas parties with delicious meals made by fab friends, and also heavy workload commitments.

We will try our very best to get video 4 done for you all next Friday 23rd as a sort of Christmas gift if you will, and for the fact that its 2 weeks late :) But by all means for the next week, feel free to troll, flame and generally call us bad names on our forum! As long as its not too abusive as I may cry like a little girl. Thanks

- Mesh

As I'm sure some of you have seen in the forum, there was the distinct possibility that Half Life 2, video number 4 would be put back a week. Well we can confirm this now and its due to real life work commitments. We do apologise but I suggest you just watch the Ravenholm video again! Hurrah!

I can tell you from the little footage that we have right now, that there will be a sequence of me with the Ant Lions, where I get to squeeze their ball and make them scream!

We would also like to inform everyone who has asked us questions through our little form on the contact page, that we will be answering your questions in a future video :)

PS, hope you like our little christmas effort jobby, above :)

- With Christmas cheer, from Mack and Mesh <---- (Festive)

Ahhhhh, here it is.

"At last!" I hear you cry? Well we hope it was worth the wait, we think it was. This is nearly 20 minutes long, so settle back, follow the download link, and prepare to scream at your modem to go faster. Mesh does Half-life 2, Ravenholm, has been released.

- Mesh

Hello again , as promised, "Mesh does Half Life" video number 2 has been released today, so head on over to the videos section to download it, and don't forget to leave your opinions in the forum! Good or bad :P

Editing of Video number 3 is going to schedule and should be released next Friday 3rd December, this is the one you've all been waiting for, Ravenholm, and apparently according to Mack, and I quote:

"Mesh, [LOL] I think this is the best vid out of the lot, including the doom ones"

So make sure you guys don't miss that one, I haven't seen it myself yet and even I can't wait! :D

- Mesh
