Another long-time lurker comes out of the lurking closet. I almost de-lurked a couple of episodes ago but chickened out at the last minute. This thread is a great idea.

So, what do you like to be called? I really don't mind. Whatever variation of the username is easiest to type.

How did you get into Marble Hornets? Through another forum I lurk on. There was a discussion about what people found really scary and somebody linked Marble Hornets. I've been hooked ever since.

Favorite books/movies/games etc?
Books:
In no particular order - The Ender Saga; Anything Tolkien has ever done; Anything Terry Pratchett has ever done; Anything Neil Gaiman has ever done; Anything Ian Banks has ever done - with and without the "M."; I used to really love Robin Hobb's work until she ended up being all about the dragons. (Dragons. Bleh. Really not for me, I'm afraid.); I also love Wuthering Heights, which is odd because I can't stand any of the characters. I'm sure there are loads more but I've got that "giving things to the internet" mind blank going on.
Movies:
Blade Runner; The Usual Suspects; High Plains Drifter; Duel; The Shawshank Redemption; Again, lots more...
TV:
Firefly; The Wire
Games:
All The Elder Scrolls (especially Morrowind); Deus Ex; Mass Effect; Portal; EVE online; AoC; WoW; City of Heroes; LOTRO. I also love a bit of the old rolling of dice, especially in the D&D and Warhammer universes. Also, Magic: The Gathering.
etc:
I play piano and violin and I also sing. I write tinkly, folky-type music. I keep flitting between Rush, Fleetwood Mac and The Who as my favourite bands but I also love a bit of folk metal.

Played any other ARGs? Which? Not really. I've done a bit of research into the classic ones such as ilovebeees but I haven't actively got involved in anything. I intend to have a look around and see if anything takes my fancy.

The object to your immediate left is your only weapon against the Operator. What are your chances? A nice cup of tea. That'll fox him!

Anything we should know about you? I like tea, and cake, and kittens. Um, not in the same way. Kittens are friends not food!

You should check out the Louise Paxton vlogs, if you haven't already. Not a Slenderseries, though there are some similarities. I finished watching it a few days ago, and I'm still creeped out by it...

The acting is pretty impressive, but Louise is actually kinda annoying at times, just to warn you: http://www.youtube.com/user/LouisePaxton

Just watched Louise Paxton last night. Pretty tense little series, despite the über-cutesy thing that usually drives me nuts. Those who enjoyed it may want to check out The Possession of David O'Reilly. It's a full-length feature by the guy who wrote and directed Louise, done in a similar found footage style. Kinda like a fever-dream version of Paranormal Activity. YMMV, of course.

Just started watching the Louise Paxton videos. Pretty good, considering how grating I find her cutesiness. Thanks for the tip everyone.

Sure, I'll go.

So, what do you like to be called?

Rogue's fine. Real name is Ariel.

How did you get into Marble Hornets?
Don't really remember. Just derpin' around on the internet some night during the break between season 1 and 2.


Favorite books/movies/games etc?

I'm addicted to video games. I LOVE video games. I can really get absorbed in a good JRPG, but run n' guns are my secret love. Favorite games are Fire Emblem (GBA ones), Final Fantasy (X, XII, CC), TWEWY, SMT (later ones), and Kingdom Hearts (don't judge me >.> )
As far as movies go, I still love Disney classics, and I'm interested in a few Anime series. Monster is probably the best series I've read/watched, animated or no.


Played any other ARGs? Which?

MLA, EMH, TT, and DH.


The object to your immediate left is your only weapon against the Operator. What are your chances?

My purse, which is heavy and has a small pocket knife in it. Tbh, I'd drop it favor of my elbows. Get me close, and I can cut a man with them---probably more easily than that super dull knife XD


Anything we should know about you?

I'm pretty easy going, I suppose. If a random stranger strikes up a conversation with me, I can talk forever, but I'm pretty terrible at keeping up with friends lol.

Abomination!


I think I'm the only person on the planet who hates ketchup. I also dislike most salad dressing. I guess I have a thing against condiments.


*Imagines Owlish at home on her computer, a long pile of broken condiments bottles lying at her feet* *She kneels down besides them and starts cackling insanely*

Just kidding Wink

Mind you, I hate both coffee and alcohol of any kind, so I'm not one to judge Wink

Sure, I'm new here, I'll do It. =)

So, what do you like to be called? Hmm, Randy or Gabriel.

How did you get into Marble Hornets? A site called "MEDO B". It made a post about MH.

Favorite books/movies/games etc? I don't read many books. I like scary movies, specially "Scream" and It' sequels. Games, I like maaany games. Big list, really.

Played any other ARGs? Which? Yup. The one from jasudable, that BEN thing. I didn't play too much, but still.

The object to your immediate left is your only weapon against the Operator. What are your chances? Well, a DVD control and 3 mangas. I'm so screwed.

Anything we should know about you?
Nah.

I've been here for a few days now...and I just saw this topic, thought I'd give it a shot:

So, what do you like to be called? KrisTrauma, Kris or simply Chris

How did you get into Marble Hornets? my little brother found it by accident. It was around entry #9. We watched those first 9 entries all in one shot starting at 11PM...needless to say we had no idea how to react except with terror and amusement.

Favorite books/movies/games etc? Books (King Raven Trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Slaughterhouse 5...), Movies (Pan's Labyrinth, Reprise, Seven, The Departed...), Games (METALGEARSOLIDFTW!!! Portal, Bioshock, Amnesia the dark descent, Final Fantasies/Kingdom Hearts, other shooters...)

Played any other ARGs? Which? Most basic Slenderman stuff. Mission Icefly. There's Something In The Sea.

The object to your immediate left is your only weapon against the Operator. What are your chances? My camera, to catch him on film so people could know about him. In this scenario, I have no chances, but others might...

Anything we should know about you? from Italy, currently in America to study film.

Location: I'm lost, let's ask that bald, tall, faceless guy in a business suit.

So, what do you like to be called? baseballfuries08 or allmightylord. Nah, forget the last part.

How did you get into Marble Hornets? A friend of mine linked me to entry 26. i thought Oppy was some alien shit the first time I saw it, but then... well, then I got hooked up, like everyone else here.

Favorite books/movies/games etc?
Books: Stephen King's, "Operación Masacre"...
Movies: Well, this would be a too long list, so I'll just name some recent movies that I really enjoyed: Mullholand Drive, Donnie Darko, Der Utergang... And the list could go on and on, after all I want to be a filmmaker myself.

Played any other ARGs? Which? Nope. Never, none. But I'm doing my own with a friend of mine; a very different subject that the Slender mythos, and a very original idea, I think. It will be the first in my country (Argentina).

The object to your immediate left is your only weapon against the Operator. What are your chances? A fucking vase with some roses? Well, maybe I can stun oppy with cuteness.

Anything we should know about you? I like raping sofas?

P.S.: Maybe I'll edit later with some more info. Or not.

Not a lot of information to share, but here might as well.

So, what do you like to be called?

Either as my username, or "Blank".

How did you get into Marble Hornets?

My best friend's older brother showed us all of Season One during the seven month break. Before we knew it, we were checking youtube constantly for new Entries.

Favorite books/movies/games etc?

I don't usually read, but when I do... My favorite movies are usually of the animated variety, and my favorite games are, to name a few: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Halo, Portal, and Mirror's Edge.

Played any other ARGs? Which?

I keep track of a lot of ARGs in the Slenderman Mythos, including MH, EMH, TT, and a lot of the smaller Vlogs.

The object to your immediate left is your only weapon against the Operator. What are your chances?

A wooden chair. Not my first choice, but I could either start a fire, or break pieces off to make some stakes. Don't know how that helps against ol' faceless...

Anything we should know about you?

I can't really think of anything, witty or not. Just know that "Blank" is not even close to my actual name.
