Google's Neural Network code reiterates and zooms into images until ridiculously familiar forms begin to emerge. This is the weirdest fucking this I have ever seen.

A map of the expression "It's all ____ to me", meaning something doesn't make any visible sense to you. I do say "It's all Greek to me" occasionally, though I do imagine Chinese would be more confusing.
And here's something that just made me laugh far more than it should.
The guys behind Marble Hornets just officially started their new series on Monday called Clear Lakes 44. Here's the first video:
Nobody's really sure what it's going to be about exactly, but it does seem to have connections with Marble Hornets considering that it's on the same channel. There's also a tie-in website that's been updated slowly for the last few months (link) that's apparently an old site made by Alex Kralie during production of the in-universe Marble Hornets film, but the site seems to be 'under investigation' by a person named D. Scott.
By the way, for the director sign in on the website, the username is 'Alex' and the password is 'rocky86'.
Marble Hornets was fantastic until it started relying on an actual narrative, and acting. That was the downfall of the series. The first season had a narrative, but it was background to the confusing, and sometimes pretty goddamn terrifying videos that were being sifted through. None of the plots got a satisfying end in any way, which would have been fine if they hadn't subjected us to two seasons of plot development, and terrible acting.
Yeah, I think their acting is probably the worst part of Marble Hornets, because it can really break the whole experience for a lot of people. That and the fact that the whole series was pretty unorganized overall due to a major lack of foresight by the creators, but from a technical standpoint I think they've improved a lot. Sound design, editing, cinematography, etc were all a whole lot better by the end of the series, I thought. Some of my favorite entries ended up being in season 3 because of that.
Marble Hornets lost it's appeal along time ago, the Blair Witchesque first season was so bizarre as to be genuinely believable. I agree that what it is now is pretty poor.

I enjoyed Marble Hornets right to the end. Their update schedule was so slow as to break the believability in places, but I otherwise I thought it was good.
