It's still sort of early on, but I'm going to give Dark Harvest a +1.

I would like to say that SadlyChamo is a parody and has yet gotten to the funny parts.
edit:and that SadlyChamo is just a username I use on everything.

The Angel's Game gets a -1 due to some really, really pointless videos, and their Slenderman being pretty bad.

The Outside Agents also gets a -1 due to the above reasons.

Jonclubs gets a +1 because even though the creator was a massive ass and didn't have much faith in the series in the first place, it did some things right, enough to be a pretty good Slendervlog.

Dark Harvest gets a +1 for some really good and eventful videos. I liked the twist that Slenderman's Minions actually dress like Slenderman.

Apple of Our Eye gets -1 because of completely unlikable characters. Even though they had an okay first appearance of Slendy, it really can't make up for having main characters so easy to hate.

Also, there are a ton of vlogs you haven't covered that have almost no publicity. Just saying.

STUFF WE ARE VOTING ON:

Angel's Game: 0. If they stripped out the filler, +1 for sure. If the stuff that isn't filler wasn't as good as it is, it'd be -1.

Jonclubs: -1. There were a few good videos but a few really groan-worthy videos - like the last couple, where all the high weirdness disappeared and it reverted to walking around at night filming the ground. If it stopped with the "goodbye" video maybe I'd be more generous to it.

Appleofoureye: -1. Nothing's happening. They've got an interesting take on it with the mystery camera but they're not doing very much.

Dark Harvest: +1. Opening was a bit slow but they've really started picking up lately.

theoutsideagents: -1. Had some good points but there's just too much filler.

SOMETHING WE ARE NOT VOTING ON YET BUT SHOULD BE, GOSH DARN IT:

MLAndersen0: +1. Actually some good acting for once, nice.

STUFF WE AREN'T VOTING ON BUT I WANT TO OPINE ANYWAY:

Beyondtheneon: -1. Yeah, remember this one? Shame it never took off, especially since none of the videos were especially interesting.

closetatrium: +1. Again, shame it never took off, but at least it managed some good videos before it stopped.

compileTRUTH: +1, simply because it's useful as well as telling its own story.

theexperienceofevil: +1. Yeah, technically not a slendyvlog, but it's using all the classic slendyvlog conventions to tell a vaguely similar story. The pacing is great, they actually seem to have filmed a LOT of material before actually starting (considering the rate at which they've posted stuff), and they seem to have an actual plot in mind - I have faith that they've actually planned out where the series is going to go and how it's going to end, and I can't say that about many other series. Too many slendyvlogs and blogs just do entry after entry going around in circles because they don't actually have any idea of what direction they're going to take it in. Personally, my guess is that The Experience of Evil will end once the footage taken in the past "catches up" with the present day, or shortly after that. Which would mean we might be around a quarter of the way through already.

EverymanHYBRID: 0. I do love me the HYBRIDs, but the series suffered a MAJOR loss of momentum over the Christmas break, and the HABIT trials can't really compensate; yes, they do end up producing a bunch of new content, but what we're really interested in is the HYBRIDs' own content, and there's been this real drought lately. I also kind of agree with the criticisms that they're throwing too much stuff out there without actually progressing any plot threads.

TribeTwelve: +1. But this is contingent on the Thanksgiving footage living up to the hype.

MarbleHornets: +1, they've really stepped up to the challenge presented by the other slendyvlogs and upped their game in the latest season.

Yeah, MLAndersen0 gets a +1 from me too. And if ExperienceofEvil was a Slendervlog, I'd give it +1 as well, but it's not.

...Okay, I swear, one day I'll do an analysis on the Slender mythos and NOT try and turn it into an ARG or an actual Slender vlog or anything like that. On that, I promise. -.-


Honestly, I don't think you could top him. He's a bit pretentious, and he hasn't really gone anywhere with his own stuff, but his recaps are excellent. I wish he'd pick up the pace on them, though. I want the second EMH recap to come out so I don't have to pick through the trailhead. :O

What would REALLY be interesting is if he got really clever with it and never actually did anything with Slendy. The whole story could be about his reaction and breakdown in the face of an entity that doesn't actually exist. The implications of believing in the Slender Man are almost as bad as his existence. (I know when I first jumped into all the Slendy-stories headfirst, I was paranoid and on-edge for a few days.)

If you think about it, the mythos is all about "can the creation of a myth create the object of the myth?" Whereas this could go on a great side tangent with the idea that immersion in the myth DOES make it true, because even if Slendy isn't pokin' his head in yer second story window, you behave as if he has. The myth has become real to you.

Bumping this up so I can see what more people think of the vlogs so I can use that to my advantage for my Slender super list of blogs and vlogs.

Also, can this be more general to include everything, aside from TT, EMH, MH, The Outside Agents, and the Angles game vlogs, because they're pretty big as it is.
