So I got my DVD today. There will be spoilers on disc content in this post. I haven't listened to the commentary/watched the foley work / twitter things. I'm only going to post my "cons" since everything else is clearly a pro. The disc 1 menu is soooo cool. I haven't been able to find any "hidden secrets" on the dvd other than in disc 2 if you scroll up towards the middle of a pipe you can see the operator symbol appear and it leads to the MH trailer. (Btw, in the trailer tim mentions something like "whenever i'm around people i feel like i put on a mask to hide away")
- I was expecting a little more with the presentation of the package, I can't even tell what i'm looking at under the first disc, and the discs are basically the same as the season 1 dvd's. The inside art has a picture of tims mask on the left with the "wake up" thing from the twitter picture , what looks like... crutches? in the middle, and on the right just a pill bottle. I feel that the choices for the image content could have been way better for the second and third flaps. There's also a "0000000" on the bottom of the middle flap, but its clearly just for show and not interpretation. The inside is basically all Tim and no operator/alex/jay, which I thought was kind of weird.
- Both of my discs were disloged from their placeholders when I opened it. I really don't care about things like that though, and I don't think it's their fault. Also an absurd amount of deep scratches in the disc case, but again, i'm not holding them responsible. probably just happened while in transit.
- Entries are sort of clusterfucked in disc 1's menu, but it's not hard to find any of them. At least they put the TTA videos after the specific entries.
- Only one deleted scene, and maybe it's just me but it was very meh and the operator apperance was so fast that i had to freeze frame it to see it (although new marble hornets was nice to see). Also they said it wasn't canon. Was really hoping for more in the form of new content.
- Advertising for the season 1 dvd on the back of the case. I get the point of it, but it irks me when advertising is on a dvd case
- Same as the s1 DVD, the front flap doesn't stay closed but that's not their fault
- The 2 on the side of the DVD is in plain text and really looks awkward
In summary: Even though I have more cons than pros, it's definitely worth your $14 or whatever it was. It's a better package than the season 1 DVD overall, and most of my complaints were just from high expectations that shouldn't have been as high as they were.

I'm glad for this. I don't want to have to buy a DVD to see content that's canon and helps my understanding of the series; something that fleshes it out would be okay, but something crucial would not be.
I wonder if they'll release a set of all three seasons once it finishes.

they most likely will (if troy wants to that's enough to go on) but i doubt they'll make it crazy. troy's already stated that if they do do it that it won't have extra content not already on the dvds just bc people bought the set. it'll probably be all 3 dvds in one case, or just the 3 dvds sold for a discount.

The commentary was so great this time. They stayed on topic yet remained funny, but it did get lagged occasionally. Also.

Didn't get mine yet, sadly, and I was having an F5 party on the shop page in the wee hours that morning. Then again the mail service hates me despite all the business I give them, and I have never gotten a parcel in a timely manner.

You're from NJ too, right pravado? Ordered mine around 6a on the day it was released, so if you got yours today I'm hoping I'll see mine by tomorrow.

Just started watching it without commentary and there is a blanked line in Entry #28. Where he stammers about how "Unless, you know, I've done something I don't know about. I guess, (Jessica laughs) I guess kind of a common name," is just not there. I guess it was kind of a throwaway line (cut intentionally? Fine with that), but the fact the whole of the sound goes out for that bit is a little worrying.
What appears to be a new encoding error in #31 (minor).
Everything up to the start of #42 looks good.
This wasn't meant as a complaint as much as it was an observation. Though, for all I know, I've got a faulty disc. Can I get some secondary confirmation on these observations?
I think the top menu for the first disc looks pretty cool, as long as you are viewing it on a real DVD player. First time I saw it was on my computer and I cringed a little bit since all the names show up as visible links and it just looks like a photo negative.

I wonder. I wonder.
Not that Tim is wearing a mask because he said it, but because what Alex/the Operator did to Tim causes him to wear a mask because he said this.
Didn't get mine yet, but I have a theory that mail doesn't get delivered to my apartment complex every day. I still saw some letters hanging from doors that were there when I left.

I think it's pretty safe to assume the trailer they made wasn't meant to be cannon, but I considered that too, briefly.

i lost it when they started talking about the cyber hawk from entry 43
also troy asks joseph if "0 is a number" right after the end of inquiry, and joseph kind of hesitates to respond and redirects troy.
lots of little inferences i'm making based on the commentary but I don't know if I should be
