 		Hmm...I've always kinda held it against the Angel's Game that it was posted in-character here. I'll need to take a look at it when I have the chance.

Indeed. It was certainly weak starting with a lot of filler but right now I definitely consider it to be the coveted fourth place vlog.


Imo - fourth place is currently held by Dark Harvest, just started getting really good.

 		Hmm.

Can someone provide me with the details of Angel's Game? I can't seem to find them in-topic. I might see if I can't knock off Dark Harvest and Angel's Game in one review.

Angel's Game consists of three Youtube channels, one twitter, and an in-game Facebook for the main character, though you need to friend him to see it.

The main character, Josh (theoriginalaliendude), starts the channel for just seemingly random videos that don't have a fixed purpose. We get a few SMALL hints in the early videos, but the story starts to kick in once hacker videos start to show up on his channel, videos that use footage he himself seemingly recorded.

Two of Josh's friends also run vlogs, Austin (UnwillingWatcher) and Alana (Razveeg). Austin's is more slendervlogish, he's recording to help deal with memory problems and there are distortions in all of his videos. Alana's videos are mostly filler, but she starts to get involved in Josh's videos extensively.

Anyway, around the time the hackings start, all three of them begin to occasionally have memory black outs or receive slender-notes: their primary unusual factor being a request: "Let's Play the Angel's Game" Josh and Alana do their best to try and ignore what's going on and hope it goes away, while Austin actively investigates it, culminating with his increasing memory loss, strange behavior, and being directly attacked by the Slender Man but for some reason surviving.

This gets Josh and Alana on board to investigate, ending with the three of them going into the woods (facepalm) and being chased by Slendy, with a fourth friend, Nathan, dissapearing/being killed.

And that's a summary up to this point. If you'd like, I can go through and pick out the videos where things actually happen for you.

Hmm, I haven't seen that one yet...I think I'll do that now...

EDIT: Hmm, well it was good up until their Sldeny(s)...even the better one. It's pose seemed too much like a mannequin's and less like an ominous being that's about to mind rape you...but it's not terrible, just has a few kinks.

 		I meant, details, as in, the relevant youtube accounts and the like. I'm trying to steer clear of too many details of the two.

Main channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/theoriginalaliendude

He has a play list of all the videos on all three of the channels involved, in chronological order. Also, he's friends with the other two channels (and a third, but I'm not sure if that's relevant right now.)

 		Look, I've been wrestling with the two vlogs for a while, and...I honestly, cannot say either of them appeal to me. I'd rather not have a long, bitchy review about the two of them, though. Are there any other candidates for the 'fourth Slendervlog' that has been thrown about?

MLAndersen0, but it's still early.

 		I'd say that '4th Slendervlog' would have been Jonclubs113 had there not been all that llama drama and had they had a schedule slip so big that they couldn't recover from it. The effects were pretty impressive.

TribeTwelve has equal, if not better effects than they did. All JonClubs did was have a ton of filter rape and then just have some people stand around and cast shadows. No, wait, he had a couple animated tentacles too.
