 		I've started seeing MLAndersen0 today, and the first thing I thought was: "13 videos in eleven months? I'll never complain about MH's delays or waits between enties..."
Not as criticism, just as an observation.

 		Wow, seems I was wrong after all. Actually, they seem quite quick on the uploading. Well, after EMH, almost everyone is quick.

Heh, yeah, you're absolutely right.

Off topic, don't you have a work, Tharol? You seem to be lurking this forums all day. Not that it bothers me, just curious.

That's not even a counter argument or blanket statement to anything I said.

 		actually it is. you dug into me for ripping on them and told me to make my own vlog if i didn't like theirs. you also said 'they can do whatever they fuck they want.'

i find it ironic that the person who tells me to stop starting arguments is the one starting one with me when he could have just taken his own advice and dropped it

 		No, it isn't. Your blanket statement is that you are judging the vlogs as if you had to pay for them, with your ultimatum being you wouldn't pay to see them.

No ad hominem, please, I'm only responding here because I thought you might actually refute something. I'm not starting an argument in which I will continue to call you names and bicker back and forth. I want you to make your points compelling. I don't find them compelling, especially when your main point is that if these vlogs weren't free you wouldn't watch them.

They are free, because the budget is bare bones. It seems like you are complaining that the puppetmasters are college students with a non-existant budget, and cannot devote the resources they don't have. If they have the resources, I'm sure most of them wouldn't even be acting in their series. The vlog I'm in, the main actor would prefer someone else take over acting entirely.

See it as a metaphor. These guys are multi-instrumentalists, and they cover many bases, but not as good as a virtuoso musician focused on one instrument.

So, my main question is, why do you continue to watch these, when all you do is criticize the obvious flaws? Yes, there are flaws in every vlog, and they can really turn me off as well, but where are your remarks when you see something strong about an entry? I see what seems to be a good remarkoccasionally, but serves as a foil to an overarching problem you have with the series.

Some other points you made:

Quote:
i am 99% sure we will never see these people


How so? Are you saying you are 99% sure you will never see the actors playing them? Think resources. Adam might have two actors playing four or more characters. Do you have a gripe with that? Or are you of the mind that you won't see Noah encounter these characters from his point of view, and not the Observer's? Again, resources. Something I feel you should ignore for criticism, unless you've made your own vlog on the same budget, yet up to your unrealistic standards.

Quote:
emh has a story that has gone off the deep end and is basically impossible to follow at this point if you haven't been participating in livestreams/tweetbacks/etc. they refuse to break immersion and fully catch people up, and have brought up five times as many questions as have been answered. people go missing in the series and they don't explain why unless it's in a blog or something that i can't find.

Can you bring up some questions of yours? Asking us could really help you.

If you don't think explaining yourself is worth your time by responding to only half of that in one paragraph, then please don't respond. It will be my last response as well.

and now for a small rant

how can anyone like noah? dude procrastinates and lazily tries to hide it

the only content we have been getting has been from the observer, where he is putting all of his editing time. while i think the idea of having a whole group of unique looking psychos stalk noah is cool, i am 99% sure we will never see these people and i feel like noah asked EMH to collaborate because he has no idea where to take his story. it turned from a somewhat interesting slenderman related vlog to a vlog where a guy is repeatedly stalked only to face the same outcome each time: failure. i don't see tribetwelve ever straying from the format of "noah figures out another thing that helped the observer stalk him / video from observer fucking with him." physically the observer stuff is cool to look at, but that's only a small portion of the story at large, which is what he should be focusing on.

emh has a story that has gone off the deep end and is basically impossible to follow at this point if you haven't been participating in livestreams/tweetbacks/etc. they refuse to break immersion and fully catch people up, and have brought up five times as many questions as have been answered. people go missing in the series and they don't explain why unless it's in a blog or something that i can't find.

i know both are free entertainment, so don't retort with "you're not entitled to anything shut up." i still watch the series' because they're there, but if it was pay-for content, i wouldn't pay.

the reason i made this rant is because i feel that more people should be open with new slendy vlogs since the old ones are starting to crash and burn. mlanderson is the only one besides MH that i think does a solid job in storytelling.

why is this guy on Unfiction forums if he won't stop critisizing everything?

Noah/Adam isn't lazy, he has a life.
Yes, alot of info about the Observer, slendy, and the collective has been leaked by the Observer, but how is Noah supposed to know about that?
EMH didn't give Adam ideas
Would you come out victorious if slendy was stalking you? No, so get over it.
You can see into the future? NO. So you don't know what Adam is going to do with this

EMH has gone a little crazy with the plot, but i started watching it recently, and i know alot of whats going on(haven't even watched past the fake slendy reveal)
Yeah, breaking immersion... Y do you expect them to do that? To explain? Then you and a crapton of of other ppl would complain that they broke immirsion, so... yeah.

If you wouldn't pay, then don't watch.
sorry for wall of text, but i feel the need to explain a bit
No more talking about this ok? if you want to say somethingpost in the OT thread where this argument should be :3 thanks.

 		I'm thinking of making a web series called Titanium Wasps where Tay, a film student, is trying to uncover the story of his friend Alexis who is being stalked by a tall faceless woman in a jumpsuit. When Tay asked Alexis what to do with the tapes of this happening, Alexis simply replied "Submerge them in water." Oh, and it's not a ripoff of Marble Hornets.

It's obviously not. You should add a character who has some sort of obsession with Scream masks, as a mislead so people thinks is some viral series about a new Scream movie, and not about the incredibly awesome idea of Slenderman's wife. And what if she has slender-kids?! That would mindblow unFiction!
