Why ask questions if you haven't watched them all?

STM · #32 01-20-2011, 10:23 AM

I don't know...I thought maybe it was something I'd overlooked.

Manco · #33 01-20-2011, 10:24 AM

I think the problem is you "overlooked" about 2/3rds of the series.

STM · #34 01-20-2011, 10:26 AM

I better go watch them all again then. Thanks for alerting me to what I'd missed!

OANST · #35 01-20-2011, 10:28 AM

I'll put this in here for anyone who wants to get acquainted with the series.

Click on The Entries, and scroll down to the suggested viewing order. It shows what order the totheark submissions should be sorted into it. The totheark submissions are video responses to specific videos that Jay posted.

I was reading some of those blogs regarding Slender Man... where people.. sort of.. basically roleplay being a victim. I have to say I really don't like them. It's like they try too hard x_x so I stopped.

Well, why the fuck would you read Slender Man fanfiction? Jesus Christ.

I was directed to it from the Marble Hornets Wiki..... This thing called "just another fool"... I was a bit confused what connection it had to Marble Hornets, and I quickly found out it had none. It was just people pretending they were in on it X_x

Gross.

A lot of Slender Man series (especially the blogs) are pretty awful; I'd recommend staying away from everything bar Marble Hornets and EverymanHYBRID.

That said, EverymanHYBRID has been pretty awful recently as well.

Yes. Yes, it has. Also, they spread their story over too many different avenues. It's impossible to keep track of it all.

And they don't know how to edit. Their videos are boring as fuck.

T-nex · #42 01-20-2011, 12:19 PM

I really hope Marble Hornets does not take those blogs into consideration and just do their own thing. Those blogs are just stupid.

I don't know what EverymanHYBRID is

so i can't speak for that.

They don't. They've said that they never let suggestions or blogs change their plans for the series.

T-nex · #44 01-20-2011, 12:22 PM

is EverymanHYBRID worth checking out? I can see you guys have become kinda sour on it.

Not really. But if you're really bored it wouldn't hurt anything.

It's not terrible, but it's a little hard to follow because the makers decided to incorporate as many different forms of media as possible (multiple Youtube and Twitter accounts, the occasional livestream, a blog and now an email ARG).

It's also lost a lot of steam recently, and the storyline seems to have stalled.

Also like OANST said, the camerawork just isn't up to the same standard as Marble Hornets.

It'll kill some time, though, and there's a couple of really well-done moments (the ending of "Cops Checked, No Body" is freaky as hell).

T-nex · #47 01-20-2011, 03:03 PM

You know what's funny(Well not really)... I tried showing Marble Hornets to my sister, but of course, like anything I try to show her, she turned it down in her annoying way just boldly stating: this isn't scary, and just willfully resisting it <.<

Well I guess it's my fault for being there while she watched it. I guess that takes like all the spookyness away. I'm seriously tired of her laughing at everything I try to tell her. Like she even laughed at Dark Crystal X_x because it was a puppet movie. urgh.

Sorry about my rant. Im kinda annoyed at her lately.

OANST · #48 01-21-2011, 05:49 AM

I've also realized that showing people Marble Hornets while you're in the room with them severely lessens the creepiness of the show. They really need to watch it alone. At night.

T-nex · #49 01-21-2011, 05:52 AM

With the lights off....!

OANST · #50 01-21-2011, 05:53 AM

You get the idea.

Dynamithix · #51 01-21-2011, 06:26 AM

I couldn't actually watch Marble Hornets for a while because I remember first seeing the Entry #1 at 2 AM last summer. Shit was so creepy I kept lights on the whole night.

STM · #52 01-21-2011, 09:12 AM

How cute! No but to be fair slenderman did give me the creeps first time I saw it, I think #6 or #7 was what got me when he's peering through the window!

Manco · #53 01-21-2011, 10:03 AM

I submit that Entry #13 is the creepiest - just walkin' round the corner OHGODIT'SRIGHTTHERE

Mac Sirloin · #54 01-21-2011, 10:06 AM

Nope, either the one where he's in a park and SM just goes to and fro or the one where the girl finds the camera and SM just fucking appears.

OANST · #55 01-21-2011, 10:07 AM

The tape that Jay finds in the tower is pretty damn creepy.

Mr. Bungle · #56 01-21-2011, 10:16 AM

The one where Slender Man walked into Alex's bedroom scared the shit out of me the first time.

Also the one with Masky in Jay's bedroom.

Entry #18 is worse. "Hey, this house is empty - WHATTHEFUCKNUTS"

I hate both of those entries because they broke the fiction for me. Slenderman coming into Alex's room was creepy as fuck, but the fake as hell looking blood on Alex's forehead ruined it for me.

As for Totheark, I couldn't understand it. Is he teleporting, or did he take the tape out of the camera, edit it, and then put it back in? If he's teleporting, well, I don't like that. I'm cool with the spatial anomalies that allow Jay to walk through a door and be somewhere completely different, but I dislike the idea of totheark consciously being able to zap himself where ever he pleases. And if totheark edited the video, it seems like a lot of work for nothing. Why bother? Just the fact that he's there in the room while Jay is sleeping is creepy enough without the "I'm here! No, I'm not! I'm there!" nonsense.

I just assumed the camera was fucking up so badly it wasn't recording properly, so parts of the footage were missing.

OANST · #60 01-21-2011, 10:33 AM

But there had never been camera problems of that scale before. Especially not when The Operator is absent.
