Mostly I was just impressed he pronounced the name correctly Smile People always screw it up over voice chat when gaming or whatever.

Of course you pronounced it correctly, Jeff.
really? I'd think "jowles" would be pretty easy.


edit: A question about the last video, have any of the previous EMH submitted videos had intercut segments that the guys couldn't see? I don't really remember any having that..

edit 2: I guess if they say they don't edit the footage, Centralia was edited by someone else. HABIT really seems to care about Jeff's emotional stability..

 		rewatching Ryan & the stofh...

-is that Slendy at 4:46? Jeff jerks the camera to the left and then we get the distortion. Along those lines, I can't tell if Evan is laughing or coughing when we first hear him...

-I sent an email to the guys about it, but I wonder if they should try to get a hold of Ryan's computer. It might have some of the other emails that Habit sent him.

 		I am in fact still alive
I missed both the chance to sign up for the tournament and the Ustream. Well, the Ustream was at an impossible hour for me anyway, but still. A Sad Panda I am. Sad

I like the latest videos, I think they did good at slowing down the rhythm a little. So, I'm probably trouting, but rn we know of the involvement of:
- the trio
- Jessa
- Alex
- Ryan
- Daniel

which makes it the complete cast of A Day In The Life, right?

Also, the fake Slendy was Daniel, right? And he was also the one holding the camera in Ryan And TSTOH, which means that he's going to be pulled into the story... nice job not leaving hanging threads.

Also, about the latest unsigned tweet - do you think we should add on the wiki that it was a reference to Didz (late late congratulations, by the way)? Both to her having a baby and to her hearing a mysterious voice saying "it's okay" to her daughter over the baby monitor, btw - nice touch of creepy, as usual. Or would that be introducing on her privacy?

(I'm never ever posting about my nightmares on this forum. Never ever.)

 		The "parents are dead" thing is a continuity fix. Saying "they're drunks" in reference to the parents doesn't really work because I'm pretty sure they'd still notice barricaded doors at some point, drunk or not. What other possible explanation could they have? Jeff lives on his own and his 16 year old brother lives with him? Doesn't work either, because I don't think the parents would say "Oh sure, Alex, you're only 16 but go and live with your 19 year old brother" Riiiight.

It doesn't mean these guys are dumb OOG, it means they're human and made some mistakes. Might've not thought up the rake in the closet business when the parents were mentioned initially and now with the barricades... oops, the IG parents might notice something better explain this away. It's a rather shoddy explanation, especially considering the comments about Alex pretending they're alive, but it works.

I'm impressed with how they covered for Alex mentioning his parents. He's mentioned his mum to me in the messages so I like the way they said he still talks as if they're here.

 		I think the PTSD or what ever it is must be a plot device. Otherwise it would of been much simpler to have the parents killed by the rake at some point AFTER the Alex video. Would prevent any weird continuity issues. Maybe they'd seen the chain when Alex was out, taken it off with mind to talk to Alex about it later. Then got Raked. Would make much more sense if they were just covering up for continuity.

 		From the PTSD page on Wikipedia:

Quote:
In one study (Dubner and Motta, 1999),[54] 60% of children in foster care who had experienced sexual abuse had PTSD, and 42% of those who had been physically abused fulfilled the PTSD criteria. PTSD was also found in 18% of the children who were not abused. These children may have developed PTSD due to witnessing violence in the home, or as a result of real or perceived parental abandonment.


I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff and Alex's parents were killed in some sort of accident and Alex was involved. It would explain why Alex thought people would think he was suicidal if they saw his arm- he's still not over what happened.

 		I just don't think Jeff is that bad a planner as to have come up with such an elaborate fix for the parents issue. And if he'd wanted just a quick continuity fix, there are other explanations which are far less labored and do not again draw the boys' sanity and perceptions of reality into question.

Maybe the boys just forgot about the parents issue and are hastily trying to fix it, but it still seemed way too elaborate to me.

 		Has Jeff mentioned their parents before, or just Alex?
