I don't think you guys realize that all of this supposed "filler" actually has information in them that is important, and everyone is too lazy to pick it out and piece it together, and im sure it isn't really all that hard, once you get on the right track. But those for the infinitely lazy and wanton of instant satisfaction, a wiki is being created so that all of the information may be seen in one locale, that should also stop some of the constant repetitive questions over and over.


I'm working on it. I may need some help doing it, as I have many other things, both online and offline, to do at the same time.


Oh sorry mate, didn't mean to put you on the spot lol, was going to say "and thanks to the wonderful draven a wiki..." haha

 		After watching "Two videos at the same time" I have to say this is probably be most boring and uneventful slendervlog I've ever seen I don't know, maybe I'm missing something but can someone please explain to me why people watch this? There's just far too little going on in far too much time. I feel this little thing called "video editing" could greatly help these guys flesh out the hours of pointless nonsense that they have in their videos and actually make it a compelling and interesting series.

 		@Guest: a main portion of the action is actually happening on Facebook. between the videos there has been a lot of interaction between Josh and those of us watching and trying to solve the puzzles, everything from simple stupid chatting to serious conversations and brainstorming. there has also been a lot of Skype conversations, although i haven't been a part of that, not having Skype.

it's actually quite interesting, and there is a lot we have not yet solved!

This. It sounds to me like the majority of complaints are coming from individuals unwilling to actually play this ARG, and are instead seeking some sort of instant-gratification. I fail to see how the same thing keeps happening "ober and over" in this series, as a number of different story arcs have been climbed thus far.

Also to be noted is the fact that series such as EMH can get away with putting a few important details in an hour-long ustream, and yet if any other series distributes any content that takes more than five minutes to watch, they are repetitive and terrible.

 		Eh, I kinda sorta understand where the complaints are coming from. Most of the Slender Series are much more straightforward then standard ARGs, and so when one is presented the way these guys are presenting it (Realistically, without as much flair and with more places to watch), it seems boring. I think the only reason EMH got away with their two hour long Livestreams is because they weren't necessary, they were just there for extra stuff.

 		I think the main reason people complain about things like this is because they're impatient and aren't here for immersion. Angel's Game has been the most active and dense ARG in quite some time, and for people who don't want the immersion, they don't want to have to go to Facebook and Skype to actually interact with people. They don't even want to go to a wiki to learn things. They just want to watch a series of videos and jump at the scares, and when that doesn't happen, they get mad.

Speaking of which, is the wiki up yet? I'd like to catch up on anything I missed in the Skype conversations.

It's active, but woefully incomplete. I haven't had much time to go through it.

Okay. Once I have time to catch up on the series, I'll attempt to add to it.

 		There are good reasons why some of us don't want to interact with the guys on Facebook, including:
- Facebook privacy issues.
- Don't want to reveal our real names to other ARGers (I do think the EMH guys were kind of unethical in the way they exposed our e-mail addresses to each other).
- The main Facebook account isn't viewable unless you friend the main guy, and he can't change that setting to make it open because he's a high school age kid.
- It would look crazy suspicious for me to friend a high school age boy in a foreign country on Facebook.

tl;dr: if they actually want people to be able to follow the series they need to not host significant content on a site which a not unreasonable number of people have a major problem with.

 		Well I for one have not been paying any attention to the facebook conversations, as I have had little time, but I still really enjoy this series. /2cents
