Maybe this is a toned down 'itmustbedone'-like jack?

 		Um, I was looking up old gamejacks by trawling back through the threads in this forum. 'itmustbedone' was a largely twitter-based gamejack about a protagonist who was... I'm not entirely sure. In a mental hospital, I think, being given some drug? But he also had access to the internet and was drawing parallels between his own situation and Marble Hornets as if MH was real (which is what happens during a gamejack, of course. XD)

It was a shallow gamejack that didn't try very hard to be true to its in character premise, was overdramatic, and had poor pacing. The PM actively asked people to pay attention to him, which I think only cheapened the entire thing. o_o
Think 'Shutter Island' crossed with the Slendy myth if it was being made for attention instead of money.

Oh, I see. It sounds... bad.

Anyway, I don't think this is that bad; the only thing that makes it look bad is that they're advertising it on here, but I can see why any budding ARG GM would gravitate her to get attention~ Regardless, this is a touch better then the more generic Slenderblogs, and it hasn't gone on long enough to be judged. I'll give it a few entries before condemning it.

 		It still has time to evolve and go off in its own direction. Not trying to condemn this one before it gets a few posts in, though it does seem to be mimicking MH an awful lot. Waiting on some diversity, I suppose.

Im afraid this might be connected because it looks like the same house.

 		*Sigh* I can't help but think about how it should be "My friend and I" in the beginning.

 		I'm sort of with Dark Fiddler. This sounds really petty, but It's going to be hard to take him at all seriously unless he get some grammar up in here.

Unless that's PART OF THE ACT....!

Well... considering how many native speakers in this country have problems with I/me, and the possibility that this person isn't a native speaker, it isn't exactly surprising, but I've always been strange, getting annoyed by stuff like that.

 		I'm not at all interested in this. It's just copying everything...no pacing, just post after post, it gets bland, no suspense, no anything...

The cellphone camera idea is nice, but that's all it has going for it in my eyes.

Also, is killer the only one who's been able to message him so far?

 		One last question, and edit...

I guess I'm a little interested in this, want to see where it goes, but so far...meh.

I won't smack it down yet.

So, yeah, the question: killer, how'd you come across this so quickly?

No. I have messaged him on YouTube and received responses, but he seems to be ignoring my Twitter questioms Confused

Anyway; he leaves the subtitles on too long, I feel =/ He could always ask us to pause it if they take too long to read. Is Slendy actually in this video, by the way? I can't seem to see him. In any case, this does seem to be a little fast-paced, but you can't really do anything due to the viewpoint of the main character.
