Or they can just find a way around it. After all, this past November 11 wasn't Noah Maxwell's last birthday.


Yeah I get the feeling Alex probably won't die yet even if something happens. It'd just be neat for them to at least do something to acknowledge it.

TTA will put up a video where a birthday cake is presented, then taken away with some cryptic version of "That's right, Alex, you don't get a birthday. Take that." TTA's petty side strikes again. XD

I just wanna see how it ends. It's hard to feel involved in the story when you get 10-15 minutes a month. At this point I'm only curious how it's going to end. So I'm totally OK with it wrapping up in the next entry or two.

Marble Hornets sucking makes me sad.

Downtime kills.

Man, I've become so annoyed with the wait times between entries. It seems like they almost wait at least a month in between entries at this point. But the thing about Marble Hornets is that when they finally do upload an Entry, it is amazing. The series is still awesome regarding it's content, but these waiting periods are really beginning to ruin the realism. But I'll stick it out to the end no matter what.

This is how I feel. The only way I can think to describe how I feel about MH, is how I felt about the Harry Potter books. I started reading them when I was little, and by the time I got to book 5 or 6, it was like, "I've grown out of this, but I'll read the new ones for the sake of completionism."

With MH, the "love" is really gone. I'm not hooked anymore. I'm not waiting around wondering what is happening to Jay in-game. I wouldn't say I get as excited for new entries as I used to. At this point, I'm so invested in the series that I'll finish it - but I'm almost at the point where I wish they would just wrap it up so I didn't have to sit through a story with month-long breaks.

I actually thought the harry potter books aged well with the audience. when I was in 13~ the first book came out, it was obviously written for younger readers. As the next books came out it did a great job of aging the books to match the original target audience as they grew older. I then went back to read the first book after finishing the 7th, and realized how much of a "young teen" book it was compared to the last.


Back on topic though, this thread is no longer filled with RAGE it's just filled with depression and sadness...

WE NEED TO BE ANGRY ABOUT THE LACK OF ENTRIES AND SPEAK IN ALL CAPS, NOT BE SAD AND MEEK ABOUT IT!

I think there was a good 5 or so days where MH didn't even enter my mind. Now I'm back in rage mode.

It's been just over 2 GODDAMN weeks since Jay made the tweet about the dirt in the tape. And tomorrow will be the 3 week mark since Entry #66. HOLY FUCK WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MARBLE HORNETS?

REMEMBER WHEN WE WOULD GET AN ENTRY EVERY 2 WEEKS OR SO? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THAT?!

SHIT.

When was that? From what I've heard from people who have been with the series longer than I have, wait times varried in season 1 and 2. When season 3 began we had about 3 weeks in between entries. At about the 2 week mark we would get a TTA video. Then a week or two later we would get a new entry.

During much of season 2, we were getting an entry every week. And I'm pretty sure the only waits that were longer than 2 or 3 weeks were for 40, 50, and 52. So it's not like we can't have high quantity and high quality.

I understand they are busy. But it is like they don't care about the in game experience anymore. They don't even try to make excuses anymore. I would prefer a 3 month "I was running from hoody" break where all the entries are finished by the time they come back. It is impossible to believe he has been cleaning a tape for two weeks. Unless they say TO appeared in his room when the tape was playing and he just crawled out of the dark depths of slendy's lair.

Anyone wonder if this is how it ends? Not with a bang, but a whimper? A tweet saying "I'm going to the woods" and then nothing, hinting at the fact that Jay is dead. I mean we would never know though, because of all of the long wait times. But if this were realistic, that is how this series would really end, that or Jay gives up, moves to a new town, and start a comedy YouTube channel.

What ingame experience? Marble Hornets isn't a game. Seriously. We've had this same damn discussions a thousand times before. It's not a game, it's a web series. :V

It's an ARG-- an alternate reality game. It's not a game like Tetris or Dungeons & Dragons or even Parcheesi, it's a form of interactive transmedia storytelling that can be told through a variety of mediums, in this case, YouTube and Twitter. Rage.

Lol, really? "In-game" is a pretty commonly used and generalized term that pertains to in-story, in-character, etc. Don't pretend like that term doesn't pertain to this just because it's not a true ARG. Trohsephim should treat the in-game/in-story/whateveryouwantittobecalled timeline way better than they do.

Ok. They need to start making in game sense of these gaps.

Would have rather waited 2 more weeks for the last entry to come out so the wait for this one wouldn't be nearly as long (actually almost instantaneous) and would make more sense

I don't get how they keep doing this and not giving a fuck that they're doing it. It makes Jay seem lazy or unmotivated
