I almost didn't recognize Alex. Anybody able to figure out what he's shouting at Skimasky? I'm not that good at lip reading.

What I don't understand is that if Skimasky wants to cap Alex, why he doesn't just pull the trigger when our favorite S&M enthusiast shows up? The gun is probably still leveled at his noggin, all it takes is one twitch. Hell, seeing that thing would make me clench my hands into fists reflexively. Its clear that since this clues us into it being Skimasky, in the abandoned hospital, with the lead pipe, he pretty much has zero concern for Alex. A metal pipe to the back of the noggin would cause a concussion at least, and probably outright kill him. This also means the hesitation to cap him is kind of contrived and stupid.

Zelmel posted:I assumed he was looking for Tim, as he had left him there at least once. Yeah, the room he looked into I think is the one that Tim was left in, the one with the writing on it. Then Tim starts coughing and Alex heads in that direction, prompting Skimasky to go up and smack him upside the head. Considering this isn't the first time that Alex has tried to kill him, it wouldn't surprise me at all that he was there to do just that. Maybe S&M told him that Tim was there, nice and helpless.

They've clearly worked together before, in a previous entry they tried to strangle Alex before SlimJim showed up. I don't think the Tim we saw is the Tim we all know and love, I think it was Timasky, Tim during one of his...episodes. I also get the feeling that Tim didn't want to kill Alex. Beat the poo poo out of him? Yeah, but not kill. That and Slendy might be watching and waiting to make sure his pet is in absolute mortal danger before popping up for...some reason. Tim beating the poo poo out of him is nothing if he can take a loving lead pipe to the brainpan. A pistol shot between the eyes is a bit harder to just brush off, I wager. Did we ever get any ideas on who TTA was? I know everybody thought Masky was, now SkiMasky, but I'm starting to wonder if its not Alex trying to keep J enticed. He was the one supposedly that sent the video to J with Alex and his girlfriend/fiance/whatever getting attacked. Edit: Should I be using spoilers? I don't want to ruin anything for anybody.

axleblaze posted:But it's also been revealed that Skiimasky is probably TTA, who has been around since the beginning, if not earlier. Someone mentioned earlier that there's a chance that TTA is more than one person but I also think that would be kinda lame. Jay commented on his twitter that they're so different with each one. One pushing him on, another telling him to stop, yet another chastising him for what he's caused simply through his meddling. It is entirely possible, and plausible that TTA is multiple people. Hell, it could be a Multiple Personality thing, weirder mental problems have occurred with S&M involved.

Bobnumerotres posted:Wait, what? What is this referring to? I don't remember any plastic bags in the series. In EMH they've encountered bags filled with Its also one of the original story bits. Victims are supposedly found with their bodies eviscerated and organs stuffed into plastic bags. Sometimes they're tied to trees, sometimes they're shoved haphazardly back into the bodies. Its general serial killer creepy, but doesn't really make all that much sense when you think of the Slenderman as some otherworldly being and not just some psychopathic serial killer. Though I suppose now that my mind is wandering, what with all this cult business and the people who clearly follow S&M as some sort of god, it might just be one of their sick rituals. "Oh hey a dead body, our GOD HAS CHOSEN SOMEONE. Now we must perform the ritual. SOMEONE GO GRAB THE SANDWICH BAGGIES!"

Tennis Ball posted:In DarkHarvest, I thought that was what happened. The cult was killing people, putting organs in bags, etc. to try to summon Slenderman. I think the Cult doesn't really kill anybody unless they get really pissed off at them. I mean its possible, but highly unlikely. If that was the case, they'd have been identified as a commune by now by someone higher up in the government than the cult's planted members. Unless the people up top are just watching to see what happens.  Obama gets elected. And a cult starts operating with impunity, the cops do nothing, FBI is useless.Coincidence?

If your cult/commune is hoarding guns, running drugs, or evading taxes the law will take an interest, but if you just want to dress funny and live peacefully you are no more interesting than the Amish.  But in all seriousness, they seem to be a bit nutty, but they only Went after the Dark Harvest guys after they started snooping around.

Quite honestly, if suddenly there was a time warp and everything went back to before the HABIT trials BS, and they actually updated again, I'd be totally kosher with pretending that didn't happen. Otherwise its a giant clusterfuck. At first it was awesome, but then they delved into the requirement of having to look at Twitter, FormSpring, all sorts of stupid things. I get that an ARG needs to have multiple avenues of accessibility, but whats wrong with just every week or so having an update of 'This poo poo happened and we're telling you here because you pricks can't be arsed'.

The guy they get to play SlenderMan should Peter Mayhew. Seriously, I met him once at Dragon*Con, really nice guy, but goddamn. His hands could envelop a small child easily and given a few minutes in costuming, could totally be the slender stalking entity.

Skimasky is Future Jay, come back in time. Unfortunately the time travelling process does weird things to someone, he turned into a girl and started to go by the name Amy. He ended up hooking up with Alex to keep an eye on him, then did a vanishing act when poo poo hit the fan. After taking horomone treatments, he's back to being a male, but he's still got feelings for Alex, which is why he hesitated before blowing Alex's head off, those feelings aren't easy to ignore.

MrSmokes posted:Dark Harvest is definitely worth a watch. It's kind of like TribeTwelve in that they copy a lot from Marble Hornets at first, but then begin to do their own thing later on. They have some really good entries. http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkHarvest00 Here is their channel. I just really enjoy the mood of their videos, and the places they film at are cool. I heard somewhere they at one point had a different villainous spirit/creature in mind, but then they found out that everybody was looking for any hints or signs of slenderman and figured that it was what the people wanted. That said the 'lost episode' of the egyptian experiments with the weirdass photo of the guy is creepy as gently caress.

I really hope they do another horror one and try to not let it get quite as clusterfucky. As I said previously, if they wrote in a time warp scenario where it went back to juuuust before the Trials of Habit and started over from there, I'd be totally cool with it, as long as I wouldn't have to try and delve into the twitter/formspring/what the gently caress ever mess.

QuestWhat posted:His entire audience consists of middle/upper class 12 year olds who have too much time on their hands and think rape jokes are funny. They're still too young to have any kind of self awareness, I hope… It is very much worth 10 bucks. If you want to double check, on the page just before this, I linked a stream of the entire game by myself. Oh, and its not 'less than an hour' short, I spent about 3 hours on the game, and it is still terrifying. Its not the 8 pages mechanic, its just that you have to go and find/do things. The story is there, and its written by Troy Wagner and the rest of the Marble Hornets team. There is a level that is a love letter to the original concept, having you gather 8 pages while running around, but the rest of it is pretty unique, and each level has something different about it.

A lot of the story is told through files you find as you play, talking about how Kate first bumps into Tall, dark, and dickish and ultimately what happens. Imagine Marble Hornets with 90% of the faffing about excised. You have a goal, to find Kate. You go and look for her, not stopping and starting to wait for people to give opinions or suggestions.

Or Jay is becoming a lot more like Alex with the paranoia and seeing things that don't actually exist. I'd say the latter. Jay got pretty well mindfucked by Slender Man when he got his memory wiped. Who knows what small psychological quirks having the last six months of his memory torn out left on his mind?

Atoramos posted:I think they just tried to make up some 'this is what happens to the children' twist that felt satisfyingly horrific. Would have been better if the parents had been silent because they knew that the more people knew about Mister Tall, Dark, and Dickish, the stronger he gets. The implication as the heroine is swallowed up in the darkness because she started digging into the Slender Man story, is that now that she knows all this, she's being taken. And now the audience knows it as well. For fun have a couple of screenings with a Slender Man prop standing outside the hallway as they leave the screen area.
