@SilentMedusa Except it wasn't Shaun in the bathroom. Chances are that it was his brother, Michael.

I would say the guy in the bathroom is Michael.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
OOG-ish: Although the size of the universe in each series is expanding with every crossover, I am thoroughly enjoying what the guys are doing by weaving their worlds together - I may be alone in that thought, but I enjoy it.

Wow, an overused meme, Jeff's never done that before. Truly I did not expect such a stunning display of original humour. Well played.

I had a whole response to that little 'apology' all thought out, but what's the point? If he was trying to convey that they don't give a shit what we think, mission accomplished.

So I guess the question is whether I still care enough about how it ends to try keeping up with EMH anymore. As it stands right now, I don't think I do. And his attitude doesn't help.

Make a valid point and you'll get a response to it. Read his reply to the most recent ask on his blog.
You're disrespecting the effort he and his friends put into this. For free by the way. EMH hasn't made ad revenue in two years and probably won't get a chance to sell DVDs because of the same copyright issues.
There's no one forcing you to keep watching if you don't care anymore, just stop watching. For the sake of everyone else, stop watching.

I think this is the post that was being referred to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I really appreciate that and I'm sure the guys do, too. In regards to my attitude to critics… you have a few options when you dislike something. You can criticize it objectively and with tact, you can whine about it and soil your argument even to people who would agree with you, or you can ignore it. I, for one, would choose the first or the last, as there is enough negativity in this world and I believe you can either be helpful and insightful or remove yourself from the conversation. Too many people talking without anything to say. But hey, if someone took the time to watch or read something I / we have worked on, that's all I can ask for. Their reaction is up to them, and their time was appreciated. I just do not see the net benefit to an individual to consistently submit themselves to something they claim to hate. For them to dwell wastes both their time and everyone within earshot (especially those within earshot…).

Messages like yours never warrant an apology and it was very kind of you to reach out! I am glad our project drew so much intrigue and promise you all the answers will be there, soon enough.


I can only speculate, but I think that people may have been primed to interpret Jeff's response negatively, because they are used to being browbeat for not liking the crossover.

I was just thinking, what if the creatures/people holding the camera is Three's company, MOVING IN and Very Happy are they same things holding the camera in -.-. ?
They probably aren't key players in this but could be timeless entities like the Hybrids, Slendy, Rake and HABIT. They will always be spit back up in another iteration to observe and obey HABIT.

Also I think we may need to look more into the EMH connection to House of Leaves. Obviously Jeff had left behind with a hint earlier in the series, but note how Vinny reads from it, not Evan. In one of the livestreams as well Vinny reads a passage from it. Doesn't it say in one of the Corenthal letters that whenever the mining town four would act out Vinny would usually spout Biblical nonsense? What he reads in the video Jeff is

"Why did God create a dull universe? So he might say; be not like me, I am alone and I might be heard."

Now I know this isn't from the Bible but it does sound Biblical. Now I can't exactly go back to the livestream and see what he said right now I believe House of Leaves is the closest thing I think we'll have in EMH to a bible and the similarities are too frequent to be coincidental.

Spoilers for House of Leaves for anyone who hasn't read it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Someone already said that the tree in Baldpate could be Yggdrasil.
In addition to this the recent revelation in Le premier cours about all the houses being one reminds me of the Navidson house in House of Leaves. Basically a house that's a lot bigger on the inside.
As well as this Vinny states the house was the one real thing. In house if Leaves the story arc strongly suggests that amongst everything else that happens to Johnny Traunt (the main character) that the House was real even though there is no record of the film The Navidson Record ever existing.

The Hybrids have discovered they are works of fiction and their lives are being written like Johnny discovers in House of Leaves. Although his life is not fiction he does find the book House of Leaves documenting his life and the circumstances he finds himself in.

The Hybrids have also been piecing together documents from Dr. Corenthal which could relate to Johnny piecing together the scraps of paper Zampanó left behind him or the Whaltstoe Institute letters.


This could all be waffle but I thought I'd throw it out there.

House of Leaves is so intrinsically linked thematically with EMH that any speculation drawing from it is completely logical Very Happy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm not sure who you mean by "we" here, but there has been a lot of whining and complaining about the effort now needed to keep up with EMH (which was always quite a bit), rather than any constructive criticism—and I mean on the net in general, not here. Combine that with the fact that some are saying the cast have lost interest and aren't invested in it any more, and you've got a hell of a lot of unwarranted negativity being received by EMH's creators. I believe a sarcastic response from him was justified.

I've been working on D/L-ing them for the purpose of creating accurate subtitles (the wiki is ever-so-slightly off), but it's a slow process.

I believe this is the closest thing:

Don't mean to take up needless space but I thought I'd also mention the video-game references and connections. Not just the minecraft one (although Creeper plushies have been spotted in the background of videos like May & June and Jeff wears a minecraft t-shirt in Twenty-four months.

Vinny is playing Red Dead Redemption in the leaked video Slender man, and the DEAD screen is showing been when attacks him, Evan almost seems amused by it.

Also in Slender man when Vinny takes Evan's knife Evan is wearing a Emile t-shirt from Halo Reach. It's been shown both IG and OOG that Evan is a huge Halo fan but the fact that we wears this particular t-shirt while this exchange is happening is interesting. Because like Evan, Emile from Halo Reach is a character with a fascination with knives.

There's also the obvious link between HABIT and the Pokémon Haunter, and although the link has been strong lately with the videos A Summoning, Severance (TT) and Box Six (Green Feathers) this connection was made way back in the earliest EMH lifestreams when Evan states if we would be any pokémon he'd be Haunter.

I think it's because HABIT was already slowly taking over Evan from the start, and it seemed really goofy at first, and it affected him in subtle ways--like Evan liking a character from a game or show that bared similarities with HABIT. Plus, I think HABIT has a few interests of his own--he likes Frank musician (I forget his name...sorry), he likes Portal ("The cake is a lie" written on the chalkboard in Severance), oh and he likes pizza.

Frank Sinatra yeah. There's definitely bits where you can see HABIT coming through Evan, it's hard to tell exactly when it starts though. Joke's over seems like a safe bet but it could have just been Evan going crazy from the happenings going on, though he seems kinda crazy by nature so if HABIT did possess him early in the series and he didn't kill anyone maybe it would have taken everyone a while to cop it.

And who doesn't like pizza!?
