I'm a little worried about Tim, trading his awesome sideburns for a beard. And the whole potbelly thing. If things continue this way soon it will be a neckbeard.

A 260 lb masked dude where the mask can barely contain the neck beard probably wouldn't be as menacing, though if he were hoody it would limit the suspect list down a bit.

Tim in the sweater in the second half of the video reminds me of Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia for some reason.

serious question: is slenderman actually supposed to be scary? is everyone who says he is just being ironic?

People pay millions of dollars each year to be scared by movies, books, and television shows that are no more frightening (or real) than Slenderman. Personally, I don't think anyone has done the idea justice, but that's a different conversation. Victor Surge created something that caught people's attention. That's pretty cool, all things considered.

He is clearly supposed to be scary in the first season, and I think most people would agree that he is. But of course everyone has their own idea of what is scary, especially since the horror genre is just slowly starting to get away from tortureporn.

This is how the series should end. Have a 20 minute build of Tim looking for Jay, finds Hoody and Hoody takes off the mask to reveal that he/she is in fact a talking grapefruit.

Has there been more to EMH recently? I've been enjoying the "Evan is HABIT, everyone is hosed, this is the endgame" videos over the last few months but I don't know if it's moved beyond that.

It's hilarious how you registered in 2012 and literally all you do is make posts about loving slenderman and never ending :words: about lovely Z grade scary tall man youtube videos no one cares about.

Are you the autist guy from Tribe Twelve or are you one of the guys from that other lovely series that make 2 eppisodes per year? I'm honestly asking because if you're not a milder version of a bitcoin promoter you're a fanatic for bad videos.

Good Marble Hornets video though. It's good to see something other than forest walking for half an hour.

I hope we see things from Tim's perspective. I don't understand how he got into the building and then left without encountering Alex. Jay barely steps foot in the place and boom Alex takes him out.

Oh did they finally stop that? What video should I jump in at so I don't have to see 15 minutes of forest? Have they announced a new season yet because they spent all their time walking and don't have the time to wrap up the plot yet?

Just start playing them all from the point you left off. A forest walking entry is more tolerable when there's another entry right after it, rather than getting all excited for the new episode only to experience Unfunny Nature Break.

Speaking of which, I assume Nature Break is their response to everyone complaining about forest walking.

Don't bother, nothing ever happens. The only reason it isn't 100% woods-walking all the time is because we got banned from the park for having too much dialogue.

You could always cut out long episodes of walking in the woods and cut to the chase. That'd free up some time for all the good stuff like a personal life.

To give you a real, and final, answer on the subject: we are happy with how the pacing is right now. We write it the way we do because we are more concerned with how it will come out as a complete product. Also, part of the reason you have those entire episode with woods-walking episodes and "nothing happens" in the whole thing is because that content was going to be on the channel one way or the other and we felt it was better to put it out there as a standalone episode than upload a 25 minute entry when something SpOoOoOoOoOoKy happens. Think of it as the trash leading up to a raid encounter or whatever video game pacing mechanism you want.

No one is ever going to be 100% happy with what we put out and that's fine. Some people wish there were more jump scares. Some people wish it had more puzzles. Some people wish it had no puzzles. Some people want us to hold their hands through every question they might have and others don't want anything answered whatsoever. I'm not saying fan input isn't important to us, it is. However, when you are making a series like this that kind of exploded out of no where you have to filter a lot of white noise and, at the end of the day, just stick to your guns and make it as best you can since hopefully people like that and that's why it got a following in the first place.

As for freeing up time for a personal life, there is absolutely nothing wrong with our priorities and there is no argument that can be made to change my mind on the matter.

It may be free but I have invested hours of time into watching it. I'm not being forced and I do check out new vids when they're posted. But in the beginning I sat and watched them from the start. Now I just kinda play them in the background and/ or ff through them. Maybe I'm the only one but my interest has waned. And I can't recommend someone watch it from the beginning or invest theirtime into it. It's been a great story and series that has lost it's way and become unfocused. I don't say that as a creator to an author but as a watcher. Maybe this whole thing will finish up and I'll eat my words but at this point as someone who has spent a lot of time in the story and bought the first DVD (but skipped the rest) I think it's meandering and hasn't held my interest. That's no knock on the guys. It's certainly better than I would have done but that doesn't mean it's above criticism. I may not have put much cash into the whole thing beside the season one DVD but I don't think it's right to say "it's free so your opinion doesn't matter".
