Hey man, sometimes at 3AM you just gotta stare at fractals and SEE things. It makes the waiting more bearable. Very Happy

I can pop things in and out of paintshop all day, but with crappy laptop speakers and no audio software the sound stuff is usually beyond me. Usually I just take everyone's word for it -- "Hey, that's Beethoven's 5th!" Okay, then it is. That being said, I don't hear kids laughing/talking/whatever nor a "female voice" -- it's all just distortion to me. So I can't really participate in anything until stuff is cleaned up and posted as clips.

Do you know that I haven't even TOUCHED my WoW account in like... 3 days? That ... that's just... wrong. Shocked

I'm gonna go tool about the Outlands now. Very Happy

Call me when something epic or relevant happens!

put headphones on. you should always do this for MH entries. not dinky little headphones, but ones with good bass. i've picked up on a lot of stuff i wouldn't have with good headphones. anyway yeah, in the video after alex hits the ground and starts twitching, after a few seconds slendys "pulsing" stops for a second and you can hear a voice and then it comes back on.

i also am lmfao at the people who think troy/joseph let an eagle loose for the intent of filming it circling around.. like really, do you people think they trained the eagle to just fly around there and not fly away or something? sometimes i wonder if some of you are infected with jay's lack of common sense disease

it was either

1) a lucky shot that troy got

2) digital editing

If you're referring to one instances I or many others have said, I hope you understand what a joke and/or sarcasm is.
To anyone else who was serious, I don't think they believe it now.

i can tell when people are joking and noticed a few people joking itt. however some people itt were being serious thinking they had obtained a bird and set it up there themselves.

off topic: i need a good spinoff series to watch that is still ongoing. anyone got any? i've already seen EMH, TT, Jonclubs, Dark Harvest, and mlanderson. i have no interest in shitty spinoffs like the outside agents, or spinoffs that barely show slendy. no vlogs either plz.

i still don't know what the bracelet hype is, but from what i've heard i can deduce one of two things

1) joseph didn't think fans would look into stuff like that and just wore his everyday attire accessories included

2) joseph wore it in this entry to mock fans who thought it meant anything

Nah, the bracelet it just the Ark. It's physically there. Alex was just delivering the Ark to Slenderman.
Next Entry is when all hell breaks loose.

You see him much better in the later episodes, but yes, with the "piss ugly girls". XD

To all the people that are complaining that the big O looks short and stubby in this entry, you're forgetting this was filmed through a fish eye lens. This is what he probably looked like off camera:

I mean seriously how aren't you terrified?

Why has everyone come to the conclusion that the bird was an eagle? I would think it would be a hawk or possibly a vulture circling a dead animal. It doesn't matter either way because it bears no significance.

The bracelet is what really matters in this series. If we unlock it's truth, who knows what we could find out?

Don't acknowledge trolls. :/

But you are talking about a Youtube series. One that was started on the cheap 2 years ago. The problems with filming in HD that they had likely weren't related JUST to showing off Slendy's features but also cost and control. Season 2 is partially funded by youtube ads and DVD sales, and not only that they are more experienced film makers now. The reasons why it's okay to shoot in HD don't have to have anything to do with wanting to purposefully show more detail on Slenderman, but shooting in HD DOES require that they update his look a bit to be more palatable for HD filming.

But the way they choose to update the look, the specific decisions they make about it, they have to be significant. There's a whole world of ways they could have updated the guy's look for HD. (Hell, Tribe Twelve manages to do some freaking excellent HD videos with fully-faceless Slendy appearances; if it's possible for what is effectively a solo project with a budget approaching zero, it's more than possible for MH.)

And they had the option of filming season 1 in HD and made a specific decision not to do so. Nobody was screaming at them to film in HD, the YouTube ads would have kept coming. And citing the DVD sales here is spectacularly irrelevant since the DVDs are of season 1, which wasn't released in HD on DVD. If they could viably commercially sell season 1 on DVD without making it HD, they could do the same for season 2.

If they are filming in HD now having made a conscious decision not to previously, that can only mean that the reason they didn't film in HD during season 1 no longer applies. That reason is that the Operator's costume would have let you see the guy's facial features. But now you can make out facial features. The only explanation is that whilst it would not have been appropriate story-wise earlier to be able to make out facial features on the Operator, there is some story reason now which means that the facial features now need to be visible.

All you say about the capabilities of the team as filmmakers is true, but that just makes it more likely that the facial features being visible is deliberate, not less likely. Again, the guys have proven themselves to be serious sticklers for detail, and there's numerous ways they could have obscured the facial features had they wanted to. If they didn't, it's because they decided not to.

Again: other Slendyseries have made HD videos with less obvious facial features on the Operator. It is more than possible to obscure those features if you know how to do it, and the MH guys clearly have the skills and doubtless have a better budget than those other series. There's no way this isn't intentional.
