[OOG] Troy Wagner's Blog Machine Discussion and updates on Troy's blog. Excuse me if this thread isn't needed, but it probably is considering whenever he posts something, someone else puts it up here.
Consider this the OOG-edition of the Twitter thread.
You can find Troy's blog here: http://jtroyw.blogspot.com/
In it, he discusses personal events, Marble Hornets updates and occasionally behind-the-scenes things.

Agreed completely. All in favor of ignoring pestoner until he calms down? >.>

I've been around the internets, and this is quite possibly one of the most petty and ridiculous internet fights I've ever seen.

I'm going to say that this is valid.
Out-of-game and off-topic are two different things. Out-of-game pertains to the game, but breaks immersion and refers to the creators, filming elements, and game mythology in the frank terms of the real world.
Off-topic might not pertain to the game at all and end up being random banter, or it might be a sort of out-of-game moment, or it might be about the game but silly and not intended to reflect serious thought.
So leave this thread alone, or discuss the blog. If you're okay with breaking immersion, like I am.
And isn't troy a hilarious guy in real life!? His posts are often so comical it's hard to believe he came up with such a chilling horror story as well.

Have you watched the Amnesia LPs? Tim is even funnier (though, no discredit to Troy's comedy). If you don't have the DVD yet, definitely get that and check out the commentary. It's hard to take a horror series seriously when laughing your ass off.

OK, why are we now making new threads just for one link to Troy's blog based on one topic-nazi's argument with someone who's trying to get the viewer's hopes up since we're all going nuts waiting for the next episode? And I swear to god, I'm not a sock puppet, I'm just tired of potentially intiguing conversations being interuppted by wannabe librarians remarking on which threads are which yaddayadda. Damn, I thought I'd seen enough of this shit before I called a truce with geneaux.

As I mentioned in the original post, people always post links to the blog and talk about them anyway, so we might as well have a full thread for it. i.e. An OOG-edition of the Twitter thread.
I said all this already.

I think this is a great idea! It'll be one less thing for troll/n00bs to complain about (though I see it hasn't helped yet...). Consider it a quick reference to blog posts which talk about when to expect the next entry!

I think this is an excellent thread, despite its inauspicious conception. It'll give people who don't want their immersion broken a chance to avoid references to Troy's blog, especially if other people try to avoid referencing the blog in other threads from here on out.
I guess having [OOG] stuff labeled and discussed as such might be something the MH forum could benefit from after all.

Popcorn get your popcorn.
On another note I love the Amnesia LPs. Wonder if he got multiple entries when they recently went out.
Edit: Totally messed up but yeah I can now relate (to a lesser extent) to them. Tornado not even 3 miles from my house... was a mile wide

I've noticed a new trend when I read the responses whenever a new Entry is posted, and it's a little alarming. A good number are letting these blog posts influence their opinions about what goes on within the Marble Hornets story. It should go without saying, but this is not my intention at all. I purposefully leave a ton out and don't share any behind-the-scenes-production-stuff that could spoil things in any way.
So yeah.
Other than that, the response to #41 has been great! I think that reshoot was definitely worth it.

He made loop of unhappiness referance once, too, probably knowing the abuse of that joke done here.

^ Loop of Unhappiness and "maybe [blank] has grown up" are going to become new Twenty Dollars, I fear.
