I could totally see Evan as Wolverine. Short, temperamental, armed with shiny sharp things, swears a lot, great with kids, has an eerily large fanbase amongst the fandom devoted to the medium he appears in. And he's even got the Wolverine cameo thing going now. All Evan needs to do is start smoking cigars.

Now I want fanart for this. Very Happy


I'm sure it exists somewhere but it's probably porn.
You mean evan and wolverine, right?

On the one hand, I can see why Jeff might take that stance, EMH has always been big on maintaining immersion after all.

On the other hand, given how dependent ARGs and interactive stories are on maintaining audience interest and "morale" I'd say it's sometimes necessary to break immersion just to reassure people that things aren't going wrong - or if things are going wrong, break the news to people so folks can manage their expectations accordingly.


Either way, nice to hear I'm not the only one who's been worrying about this.


At this point I wouldnt mind a little immersion breaking if it meant knowing that my beloved series wasnt on its deathbed.


Try scrolling up.

It honestly hadn't occured to me to be worried or anything until just now. If they stop, they stop. I'll be disapointed, but hey, they did this of their own free will and I thank them for their effort. Best series I've ever been into, really. Thank you, sirs. I'd rather it just stop then a poorly made ending. That leaves so much room to grow in our heads. It's been wonderful and I hope it continues that way for just a little bit longer.
Maybe it's like MH where it stopped for seven months only to pick back up again with more plot? That's supid to suggest, nvrmnd. Bad idea.

EH IS pretty heavy with fan interaction. It's not really probable, but maybe part of why they aren't moving forward is because of something we didn't do? I'm not sure.

Otherwise, it's all on them. A little immersion breaking would be nice in this situation though.


EDIT: okay, nevermind then, i'm dumb.

^Possibly immersion breaking, in case anyone didn't already know.

Yeah, people are just getting angsty since they expected the ending months ago (I think you first said you were expected it to end by the end of June) and there seems to be a drastic slowdown. But you guys are in college, and have jobs, etc.

Besides, anyone who thinks that the creators of EMH are slackers, then they really haven't been paying attention. So much work went into this series even though it would have been a classic with much less. No one quits a novel 9/10 of the way through. Why would they give up now?

Yeah, so where did all these cancelation rumors come from? I follow Jeff's OOG tumblr, the twitter and youtube, and I didn't hear about it till his post refuting it.

Because many vlogs have just quit, ended, or on break people wonder if the vlog is cancelled. It could be they are not making the move now.

What other vlogs? (I only follow the major three), and wow. So nothing. Cause it was sounding like maybe something came from the EMH guys themselves, which is why I was surprised I missed this. But ok.

Look, this has been, like, seven or eight people worrying that EMH might be cancelled, not anyone going OH GEEZ EMH IS CANCELLED WE'RE ALL FUCKED HIT THE DECK ASLKDJFSDA;LKF;SFLK';

The only "cancellation rumors" are here in this thread. They certainly haven't spread anywhere, they've stayed self-contained. And, uh, they're not rumors. Just speculation brought about by radio silence.

It's not unusual for this kind of thing to come up. Everyone sit down and drink your goddamn tea. This is not a big deal, FFS.

Has anyone even tried to start the seventh trial, AT ALL? I don't care if the death is only IMPLIED; MAKE! SOMETHING! HAPPEN! Or will someone (probably me [/trollface]) have to pull an FRA?

And what exactly would you expect that look like? Me driving to OK to murder Dix on camera?

As far as I'm concerned I'm winning this challenge cause I'm still breathing.

WINNING!



(Though I AM currently a lot closer to OK than I usually am...Hmmmmm....)

For what we know, this is the second trial. Staying alive. "Keep your body breathing". Strange wording, there could be underlying factors, but to what end? We could and have gone on forever about what these words mean, and until we get a hint, I think the rabbits should look at the words for what they mean, instead of what they could mean.

Seventh trial has been announced and started dude. Everyone's breathing so therefore, everyone's winning.

Calm yo' tits and cool your heels. There's nothing you can do that will affect anything, so just accept that and wait with the rest of us.

Somehow I missed this hullabaloo. But yeah, if the guys have connected 2012 to endgame (and if that still stands--when and where did we hear that, BTW?), we should see an explosion of material here pretty soon. There's a lot to wrap up. New material means behind-the-curtain planning and producing, hence the lull. That's what I'd chalked it up to, anyway. Hopefully regrouping will mean rapid-fire action once the ball gets rolling again.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Also, if there's any coordination happening with the remaining rabbits, the delay may not be solely on them. Purely my blind spec there, though.
