 		Haven't been able to play many games recently, and I'm looking for a new one to get into. Not really sure where to go from here, though. I know that there's some way to encode an image with data, but I'm unfamiliar with the methods of extracting said data. I'll see if I can come up with something.

 		I emailed him a quick note before I went to bed; this is what I got back. Bit about him not remembering stuff is interesting.

Strange picture, buddy. I get nothing but blur though; what's so unsettling about it?

my camera has never done that before, only the pictures I took in the woods have that kind of distortion, i see what sort of looks like a stretched out guy, but im not totally sure. That whole day seems like a blur to me now, I dont remember much from it

 		Not much, but got a couple of emails this morning.

Asked him if he was prone to losing memory, perhaps due to partying...

Quote:
No, i never have memory lapses until I went into the woods, and I havent had them since. As much as I love to party, I wouldn't let that get in the way of my photography.


Also asked him what the distorted phone sounded like...

Quote:
It sounds like a lot of static with a voice barely getting through, the voice sounds odd too, its always the same and it doesn't sound like anyone I know.

my TV is distorted also. I will upload pictures as soon as I can.


I figure we'll have to wait for further updates; if you know anyone good at undistorting sound and video files...been meaning to play around with Audacity anyway...

 		I asked him if his camera was digi, suggested that he do some research on Slendy, and suggested that he mess around w/ a camcorder, to see if he got a/v distortion, I'll post back/edit when I get a response
ETA: Got a response
Quote:

slenderman?


yes, its digital,i got some tearing in my footage from the woods, but I assumed it was just from me being awful at filming, ill look into this "slenderman" thing...

Sounds like Slendy

 		It seems slenderman has the market cornered on media corruption/distortion, still it's either a sign of supernatural or just poorly stored data.

 		i said i told you so
Kyle conversation
So is my conversation with Kyle so far from yesterday: I asked him about the cat.

"Here's what happened, I drove about 30 miles to a campground so I could take photos, it was a 3 day trip. One of the days(when I took that pic on my blog), I guess I had a memory lapse, and all my pictures were distorted, the next two days were so foggy I couldn't get any good pics. When I got back from my trip(today), I made the blog as an online journal, and got yelled at by my psycho neighbor, she drew some trees on my driveway.About an hour before I got home she found her cat impaled on a tree branch. Thats all I know.

-Kyle"

i brought up a scary story to him that was in a similar vein and he played dumb/curious in the same manner he did when told about slenderman

also has anybody looked into this: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/1212123.pdf

i doubt that has anything to do with anything... but the 1212123 is hard search.

 		What's "Alchemy is Wonderful" mean, anyway? Figured out a way to become independently wealthy?

Quote:
no to both, but im fascinated with alchemy, ive read several books on it, and its just really interesting to me.

Yeah its still happening, my camera seems to be messed up now


Not really sure how to move forward with this; best thing I can think of to do is keep him talking. Figure he is just a bystander, or maybe the one doing it all? Seems like it's the cops being there that is worrying him, not the fact that the neighbor disappeared?

 		some highlights from my conversation with him.

link1212123: thank you
10:17 PM you know anything about that slenderman thing?
10:18 PM me: i do actually. it is an urban myth. he is usually described as a tall thin man wearing a black suit with a white shirt. people who see him can never describe his face.
link1212123: its really interesting to me
10:19 PM me: do you think you've seen him? maybe in the distorted photo you took with your camera?
link1212123: i have no idea
i see a stretched out man in my photo
10:20 PM not sure if its slender man

me: have you learned anything more about your neighbor going missing?
10:26 PM link1212123: no
the cops say theres no signs of anything
10:27 PM me: do you know if you will be able to get updates on the situation... or will you just have to wait and see
link1212123: no idea
ill probably be able to get updates
10:28 PM her doors were locked and barricaded too
i dunno how she could have gotten out
or anyone got in
10:30 PM me: have long have you lived next door?
link1212123: about 7 yeats
years
10:31 PM since i got into college
me: do you know how long she has been a shut in?
10:33 PM link1212123: about 5 months
me: do you know what caused it?
link1212123: no idea
she was always odd

link1212123:the girl was studying symbols before she became s shut in
me: what kind of symbols?
10:51 PM link1212123: general symbols
she never really told me
she was always scribbling in notebooks
im sure I could find one if I went into her house
10:52 PM me: do you dare?
i'd be interested in seeing them
link1212123: yeah its fine lol
ill go in after this whole thing blows over
and the cops leave

there were some odd things be mentioned without being prompted:
link1212123: no, live near a lot of woods
its a hilly place too
10:43 PM foggy also

Seems like somewhere Slendy would like, especially the woods part
