I'm glad there's more, it's not the best but it's content with a lot of effort put into it and it avoids most of the worst cliches of the genre. Gonna watch it after work.

Do we have a comprehensive list in thread yet of retro-y creepy pasta YouTubes that don't suck a lot? Or do people just wanna dump their favorites? I am feeling the itch and want to spoop myself

Nexpo just did a video on Drowned God, which is probably the closest video games have ever come to a true-to-life creepypasta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU4MgeOb-cc

It was a bit meh - the game sounds interesting, but there is no connection between the game and the creator's descent and eventual murder-suicide. Just sounds like a guy with anger management issues who couldn't handle his wife wasting into nothing due to disease, oh and also he made this weird game once.

I watched (well, listened to) that whole thing having not read the post about it closely enough and spent the whole time thinking "Man, this ARG's writing is bad."

I've watched nexpo for a while, and he's one of those people with a narration that got worse over time as he leaned into it more. But at least he hasn't gone as far as the one that used to cover similar topics, but turns all their videos in hotline miami larps now.

Binged a bunch of nexpo videos since it seemed interesting initially and I think I'm done, five minutes of content crammed into a half-hour

What is it with all these horror dudes and having obnoxiously stilted delivery? It's almost as bad as the reddity whilst dialect.

Barely Sociable is the only one I can really stand anymore, it helps that he's one of the only who will actually do real research such as I don't know calling a drat "Haunted" hotel and see what's up instead of creating elaborate internet speculation based on nothing

It's annoying because Night Mind's success was because there isn't a lot of decent horror analysis content, so you could easily just swipe the content idea and do well if you have any ability to analyze things, but apparently we have to copy things wholesale here like we're lovely movie studios or something.

Night Mind is also kind of a creep, to my knowledge? Or at least strongly ignorant of social cues. And he inserted himself into the Jack Torrence ARG which is lame as poo poo. And yeah, all of the people who've popped up since, barring Barely Sociable, insist on this horrific super-stilted delivery.

Night Mind was super weird with May from Nyxfears when they hung out, but it seems like the hatchet has been buried there. I checked out on his videos when he did his big, masturbatory House of Leaves thing.

You know I'll also shout out whang as not being awful. Dude is super surface level. I found this thing on reddit or /x/ or whatever but he's got enthusiasm and isn't boring to watch, and gives you enough you can dice deep on your own

I'd been on the fence with him for a while re: how self-aggrandizing he is, but the Jack Torrence thing finally made me unsubscribe. He had a quote that was something close to, "And now I, Nick Nocturne, Night Mind, will personally go solve this mystery myself, watch out, because I'm coming for you." Like, dude, you make creepy YouTube videos. This isn't God Himself descending from Heaven, you're just here to gently caress up somebody else's thing after spending years talking about how people shouldn't intentionally gently caress up other creators' things. I don't know if he's gotten better since then, but the point at which every video has a three minute section where you talk about How loving Cool You Are, I'm out.

He's more like internet historian or the right opinion than he is night Mind.

I think there's a bit of a cross over. With whang. Stuff like the anime with the girls killing each other in the bathroom wouldn't be out of place on a channel like nexpo or night mind

So I got a weird postcard in the mail today that I'm assuming is video game marketing. There a thread about these here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/com...utm_name=iossmf Anyone else get one? The phone number takes you to a static message. I don't have a spectrograph so I can't run it through that. My card also had black light...tally marks, I guess, next to the phone number. I can post pics of them or what they are. Anyone have any ideas? E: pictures of mine: https://imgur.com/a/J5WbxSR/

I’ll put down even bets on Halo, Mass Effect, or Avatar 2 (and 3, 4, and 5, of course).

It's from California, but I'm signed up for pretty much every video game, movie, and TV service so I've got nothing to narrow it down. I was thinking maybe Starfield?

I watched Barely Sociable videos for a little while but then in one video he mispronounced a word so badly that I could never take him seriously again and haven't watched a video since. I can't remember what the word was though. anyway his videos were pretty good

I appreciate all of these youtube channel namedrops. Thorhighheels especially, he has some great coverage of janky early-2000s games.romanowski posted:I watched Barely Sociable videos for a little while but then in one video he mispronounced a word so badly that I could never take him seriously again and haven't watched a video since. I can't remember what the word was though. anyway his videos were pretty good I just heard him cap off a ponderous introduction to the concept of online dating by pronouncing epitome as "eppy-tome." That would do it. He also doesn't know what "micromanage" means.

I have to assume it’s a Starfield ARG or something, but the first result on Google took me to a Coldplay subreddit so who the gently caress knows!

Chiliad mystery in GTAV where the narrator would read the word "paradigm" in some text and pronounce it as "para-DIG-em" and he thought it was an alien/lore word that Rockstar made up and never explained. this happened multiple times throughout the video there's a lot of bad narration on youtube is what I guess I'm saying
