I kept trying to capture some of those split second frames. The only luck I had on two of them was just the previous shot upside down for a split second.

No idea what this is, but it's interesting to check out.

I know I've said I would be gone, but this needs to be said. sio2coleopatra created this series, and he let me do that thread, he practically put me up to it if I remember correctly. So, he's lying about me, but did I really expect anything less of the creator of the Arkn Mythos?

Dramaaaaaa

This is the sort of thing that looks cool without any story. Spooky videos =/= worldbuildin or atmosphere. It's just aesthetic.
I remember when I thought that if something was visually appealing that it could attract interest, and then I could develop story after, it doesn't work that way. You have to make people invested in what you're making before you try to blow their minds.

Especially when your video is only a bunch of flipped images and walking. No payoff, No Build, No Release. Just boring.

Oh, but it LOOKED cool Rolling Eyes

Okay I gotta agree, it LOOKED alright to me but other then that its just some guy playing around with the digieffects damage pack and flipping the image upside down while playing the half-life soundtrack in the background.

any story there? Nope... just filler really.

If a video appears with STORY in it then i'll follow but right now I don't care much for this.

the arkn mythos in a nutshell

Most arkn mythos stories are like this. all show. They have such a clusterfucked storyline that it's almost impossible to understand what's going on as well.

This ARG has been resurrected from the dead. Haven't had a chance to look at them but there are two new videos on the YouTube channel. Seems strange to start back up now at Christmas but there you go.

You mean the thing that looked exactly like Walker and Firebrand?

This is a lot of sarcasm and bile for a series with 3 whole videos, but whatever.

it looked alright. I'm more interested in the comment that comes along signed by a Doctor Emeria Faustus. I swear I've heard that name, and recently. Was it one of the people mentioned in TheTownThatNeverExisted ending in the comments of that video?

Different person but similar name...
The guy in TTNE was Leroy of Theseus labs, this guy I dont even know... looks kinda like a copy of the SCP organisation from what I can tell but thats just my opinion.

Still... I'm not so sure what to think of the use of the Half-Life soundtrack.

idk what walker is but i dont see how this looks anything like firebrand personally, it makes me think of a shadow-creature of some form.

Also i tried researching that thing about that TTNE comparison ,but all the videos are gone it seems and i have no way of confirming this

I'd suggest watching Clear Lakes 44 then.

also about the TTNE comparison, I mainly archived the vids just incase something like that happened so i'd ask Kaliel or scan through the uF thread.


On-Topic:
In my opinion the creature does look like Firebrand, both have a shadow person appearance and they have pretty much the same pinpoint eyes.

Overall I still don't really think much of this, it does look cool but nothing groundbreaking.

Best to stick with the thread over in the appropriate forum? (It's confusing to have them both, but the mods never saw fit to merge the two.)

Didn't think to look for a new thread since this was the first. I don't know, I never go over to the slender man parts of this forum as I have no interest in it (although I don't think this has anything to do with slender man).

For those who don't know what comment they are referring to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
: I would like to extend a formal apology to the corporation as a whole. While the ROT (Recordable Optical Transmitter) hybrid that escaped did have a damaged optic-recorder causing transmitted footage to reverse, we believe the cause is linked to Subject 001, the "Blurry Man" as Hendrickson calls it. We did recognized technological malfunctions while in presence of the being, so that is to be noted. As for the abduction, we are unable to pinpoint exactly what took Absalom, but the xenozoology department has its suspicions.

Regards,
- Doctor Emeria Faustus
