niiiiice; the scooby-gang looks out for each other and stand up to those trickster Greys ;3

(Marble Hornets --  Diary of UAP/UFO abuduction...)

[Review Cultist]

I like how this series is 72 odd episodes in and even though the gang is getting serious about figuring this thing out and playing a more active role, it seems like there still just chimps banging rocks on a warhead. They still have no clue what there dealing with, and that's awesome!

[Review Cultist]

Is this strictly a Marble Hornets Thread? Should I start up a general Slenderman ARG thread? (Seriously, there are like a dozen ones on par with Marble Hornets and even more fairly decent ones for those of us who are obsessed with the Slendy ARG videos)

Also: Entry 82... shit is getting real!

holy shit i need to catch up

[Review Cultist]

Yeah I know, you leave the channel for a little bit and Shit just gets cra-cra.

Also after the latest entries have been viewed and your waiting for more Slenderman goodness, try these other fantastic Slendervlogs:
- Everyman Hybrid
- TribeTwelve
- DarkHarvest00
- Caughtnotsleeping
- Onehundredyardstare

There are so many more, and I'm slowly going down the list of ARGs from the Slenderman wiki. 

[clockworkjoe]

do any of those give definitive answers about the cosmology of the story or is it all handwavy bullshit like in MH? We're 82 episodes in and we know next to nothing about Slender Man.

[Review Cultist]

Yes? sort of... "Tribetwelve", "Everyman Hybrid", and "DarkHarvest00" are all in the same canon, with a conspiracy and cult that worships the tall guy as a god and there are some other worldly pocket dimensional concepts thrown in and shenanigans. I feel they have more of an explanation to the cosmology than "Marblehornets" has presenting but still retains an air of mystery. Outside of "Marblehornets", I've come to find a large number of these other Slendervolgs share the same or common canon that they build on.

"Caughtnotsleeping", while not actually in canon with the others from what I can tell, has a strong use of props and production work, especially in the laer entries. It also shows a conspiracy of people attempting to stop the Slenderman.

"Onehundredyardstare" is similar but starts fast and jumps to multiple victims of slenderman encounters as if it's a disease. You can also view the current number of entries of this series in like 2 hours? they are really quick videos. 

[clockworkjoe]

basically my questions are:

1. Are any of these complete?

2. Am I just going to be jerked around the entire time because nothing is resolved?

[Review Cultist]

1. No
2. This one is hard to answer, for me anyway. They are still ongoing and at least three of these series have stopped after some serious stuff has gone down, but then they've started up again with more progression to the plots. some answers have been gained but then more questions have filled they're place.

"5zer02" is really the only one I've seen yet that has a (so far) definite finish but it's the kind of ending that you get from "Blair Witch Project".

Personally, I love the rides these series provide, though if you want a definite end with answers to the entire Mythos solved, that's not going to happen? They give more explanation to Slenderman and expand the Mythos but as to anything like resolving the problem or defeating Slenderman, haven't seen a series yet that has done that. there might be one out there I just haven't seen.

[clockworkjoe]

Marble Hornets has taken up a lot of time and there hasn't been any kind of payoff for it yet. I don't need everything spelled out but eventually I want SOMETHING. If there's a more satisfying take on Slender Man, I'd give it a shot, but if its 40 hours of wheels spinning - foreshadowing with no payoff, then ehhhhhh

[Review Cultist]

Well, it is a lot of videos to go through (I understand about MarbleHornets, it's a very long run with very little major payoff in one shot). It seems the characters of Tribetwelve, Everyman Hybrid, and Darkharvest00 are connected to some big plan or purpose. They are chased or stalked by Slenderman and a cult that worship him almost to the extent of a Cthulhu cult, murdering and kidnapping as they see fit, and then there are some other forces at work that make themselves known. Some major revelations have occurred, and some grim dark events (like Shit got so real and not in a very paranormal way!) have come up and they seem to be coming to a head in the at least near future. I'd say for the content they are providing, they seem more satisfying about giving you payoffs on the Slenderman mythos, even if they may not fully grasp the tall guys nature or motives.   

If you want to get a little more info before maybe checking them, the Slenderman-Wiki is quite handy: http://theslenderman.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Top_5

Entry 83: This series better have a great payoff at the VERY end, this one is cool but more circle jerking to be fair.
