The "security" footage reminds me of when Evan got that flashdrive with Alex on it. I think we saw that footage and and the film was of better quality, but it could've been done by the same person.

What I'm wondering is why Slenderman is going after Vinny. Usually he only shows up when there are two or more of them together. Why target him specifically? Also, Vinny seems to have the worst reactions to Slenderman. Granted, he was rather close to him in both this vid and when he cleaned out the storage and threw up, but it looks like his reaction gets worse each time they come into contact. Last time he threw up black gunk, this time throws up gunk (possibly with blood?) and passes out. How much worse can it get? Short of immeadiate death.
(Note: I don't think that dog was Sparky. It looked that that took place a Vinny's house, where even if Sparky were alive, wouldn't be. Maybe he got a new dog or is helping a friend.)

I want to say it's HABIT posting this, since he has done such in the past, but I'm not sure it feels right. The title fits his style, but...I don't know, the vid doesn't? Maybe it's just me, but it feels a little off. I don't know why. Maybe the font in the beginning is what gets me. Unless HABIT comes out and says it was him, I'll have my doubts.

So Jeff is a pill popper. Actually, that's not right. Two explainations are either: A) he was trying to kill himself and it didn't work or B) Jeff has been taking depression/anxiety pills (probably unprescribed) and has been taking a lot more at a time than he should. (It looks like there are quite a few pills in his hand when he pours them out.) Either way, drugs may not be the best solution here. Not saying Jeff is suddenly a drug addict, but he may become dependent on them if he isn't already.

Not sure about who took the video of the lake, but something about it made me think of Vinny taping it. I guess the way th camera moves.

No comment on Evan. I'm not sure what to say yet.

I'd like to say there's no chance of that, but judging by how things have been soo far....

Maybe Vinny wasn't wondering where the dog was going. Maybe he wanted to know whose dog it was and how it got in his house.

That footage in the new video looks significantly degraded or of lower quality than the other 'surveillance' footage we've seen. I saw Paranormal Activity 3 the other night and it reminded me a bit of VHS degradation.

I interpreted it as "wait, Sparky? ....WHAT?" from Vinnie. I could be wrong though.

I have been sitting here for five minutes just saying, "No. No. No. No."

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Okay, thoughts:

We've known about the connection between Vince and Slenderman for a while now. It's only natural that this would happen. Obviously Vince is alive. (This time we've got a real case of him vomiting up blood and not ashen waste.) Also, that dog didn't look like Sparky, it was too fluffy. Vince has mentioned having pets, it was probably one of his. (RIP unkown dog, I'm sure your master appreciates your sacrifice.)

I never even thought of Jeff trying to kill himself, I figured he was getting high or just numbing himself to the world. That makes a lot of sense, though. He is is neglecting Alex, again. His brother is going to fucking die because he's too busy getting high/trying to kill himself. Also, nice catch on Evan's missing bandage. We might want to watch out for it, see when it reappears.

Also, I totally called Lexi biting it. It was a bad idea for Vince to involve himself with a woman. After what happened to Jessa, I don't think anyone should be surprised. That's two girlfriends six feet under. Steph had better watch her back, especially since the boys are more important than her. (The worst shades of Whedon.)

I guess Steph/Evan is more or less canon now. Not sure how I feel about this. They're keeping the romance quiet, so I guess I don't have much to complain about. noooooooooooo my slash ships they are sunk From the video, it sounds like Vince might have been about to introduce Evan to Lexi. Why they were doing that in the middle of the night when all the bad shit goes down is a fucking mystery. Nice catch too on Evan knowing where to find her kitchen knives. I would love to know what Vince found when he investigated the apartment later.

(Methinks Lady de Vince was attacked, put up a hell of fight, and then Evan finished the job.)

see this is what got me at first too, but for some reason I think this footage all comes from before the rake got sparky, as qa said.

The text at the beginning does say "what they haven't shown you" which makes me think this is stuff they filmed and for whatever reason never posted.

...though I am clueless as to why it might be posted now if that's the case. :\

Well I would assume that the person who uploaded it wants to show that they're unreliable narrators. The text says "what they haven't showed you" so the video is saying "Look at everything that's happened when they were telling us that everything was quiet and fine. They lied."
I don't really get a HABIT vibe from this overall. I mean, unless he's looking to cause discord (granted, he does like that), what does he really get out of this?

Sidenote, this video put a nice spin on having to wake up at 6 for class today (which, may I add, lasted a whopping 35 minutes). Jesus, this makes me feel weird. I was a junior in high school when this started.

I assume it was HABIT who posted it. And of course he's looking to cause discord. He already has the others not trusting Evan.

OH. MY. GOD.
Let the speculation begin.
Forgive me if some of the points have been brought up but I want to get my thoughts down on this while its still fresh in my mind.
I am assuming HABIT posted this video and this is something he would do....but why? Usually he is messing with the rabbits or the EMH crew. But it almost seems as if this video was posted to warn us....the viewers. Its showing us that either Jeff, Vince, and Evan have been lying (saying things have been quiet when they CLEARLY haven't been), or that their memories have not been trustworthy (if they dont remember these things happening). Either way, the whole "unreliable narrator" bit is more relevant now than ever. At first I thought the scenes with the rake in Alex's room were filmed by Alex but the cameraman clearly says "It's Jeff." And if Jeff thinks that Alex is his room at the time that means that the rake is in there at the the same time. I hope Alex is ok.
Clearly Jeff still misses Jessa, pill popping because of her, or because of everything else that has been happening.
DEER ARE CREEPY AS FUCK!
The security camera footage is very grainy and distorted,like an old VHS tape or something. I don't know if this is significant or not but the footage is not at all like the security footage we have seen in the past.
The dog: Definitely not Sparky, but then who's dog is it? And why?
I think the footage of the woods is cut up with images of the Candleverse with the normal unflooded portions being the regular universe and the flooded portions being the Candleverse or the ARK.
Lexi is prolly dead, and her room mate as well. But the question is, Was it the doing of the Rake/Slenderman, or did Evan just finish the job? On the topic of Evan: no bandages. Significant or not?

TL;DR
Deer are creepy
Jeff is/was Sad Panda again
The boys are lying to us
(Or they dont remember any of this)
Lexi and room mate are dead or missing.
Evan always knows where to find a knife.
Oh wait just thought of two more things
1. Something about that Slenderman strikes me as weird. Its not like the other Slenderman we have seen. It didnt really seem to cause any distortion (I challk that up to the shitty VHS tape.)
2.(and this is the most important thing we have to remember:
The video clearly states that this is "what they haven't shown you". There are (I believe) two explanations for this One, they dont remember and therefore couldnt show us. Or two, they DO remember this and the footage in this tape contains things they dont want us to see and therefore VERY important.
Long post is long.

If it causes discord, it's meant to be between us and them. An hour ago, I was this close to hashing out a pissy email about them not telling us anything.

I might do that anyway, since Jeff is being a stupid, neglectful asshole and deserves to be kicked off a cliff, but this is definitely meant to disrupt our relationship with them. They're supposed to be trusting us, and in a fashion its understandable why they're not -- strangers on the Interwebz and all that -- but at this point it looks like we're all they've got. Intentionally or not they've done quite a bit to disrupt that.

If I was going to send such an email, I would certainly include asking, "Why the hell do we have to rely on HABIT to know what's going on with you?"

I agree with your point of HABIT trying to create discord between us and them. Also I think that writing a pissy email to Jeff and the boys is exactly what HABIT wants.
That being said, I am curious about how the boys would respond to such an email. If you send one, we risk pissing them off. However that SOME sort of email is sent, regardless of content.

qaqa sent them off a missive. I just don't think there's going to be an honest reply, his kindness gives them a lot of wiggle room to lie by omission. The best thing that ever happened was Evan's ~raaaaage~ because it was completely unguarded and told us more than Jeff's obfuscating ever has. I'm starting to think that deliberately inciting another reaction like that may be the only way to go.

We're getting down to do-or-die here. I want answers, and I don't care where I get them.

SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT SOMEONE PM ALEX ON YOUTUBE! WE NEED TO FIND OUT IF HE'S OKAY AND HE DOESN'T DO THIS ~HIDING BEHIND MY MASK~ BULLSHIT.

True. I guess the next step from internal discord between the group is to try to separate us from them as well. Which, the more I think about it, he's been doing all along. The guys didn't trust us with the hidden videos at first, and now we're not supposed to trust them with their videos.

I'm torn between wanting to sit the boys down and scold them for hiding shit and trying to keep in mind that HABIT wants us to be mad/wary/suspicious

The text at the beginning is still weird. It's just so deliberately different and, for lack of a better word, feminine.
