"Public Sevice Announcement"

Moral lesson of the story: Refrain from assuming.

0:11 - We open the video with all three EH regulars in front of the camera, owning up to their mind-screwy tomfoolery hidden beneath their veneer of health food and budget-friendly exercise equipment. Also, I am concerned about that kitchen door right behind them.

0:18 - Jeff states though that they're "just getting started" and that it now looks like they have a new friend they need to keep tabs on. Really, guys? You just got assaulted by the Slender Man and you're only taking a week off of your Youtube update schedule?

0:45 - Understandably, Evan still looks mighty pissed about that whole "Slender Man breaking into his house" bit.

0:52 - In a clever bit of pragmatic medium awareness, Vincent voices out one of the series' great burning questions: which appearances in their past videos were of their fake Slendy's and which appearances were of the real one's. Which naturally opens up the other unpleasant question of which ones I've been laughing at like a tactless genre-blind mook. I am so doomed.

1:05 - Evan finally speaks up, posing a (by now, most likely moot) choice to whichever one of their loyal viewers may have been deeply embroiled in this fine mess: Either 'fess up or face the, um, "negative repercussions." If whoever it is they think they're addressing were a real person, I'll betcha they must be going "Ooooooh, I'm so scared" at the monitor right about now.

1:46 - Good grief, is he going to cut off their legs and shove them down their throats too?

From here it looks like the series actually does go into mini-hiatus, not updating again until a month or so later. In keeping with the spirit of Archive Binge-induced immersion in this live-blogging experience though, it looks like I'll picking this up again tomorrow. I just hope I don't get any more interesting nightmares.

Haha, as someone who's currently up-to-date on EMH, I still find this amusing to read. Keep on going! As a warning, though, make sure not just to follow the youtube videos, but all the other various sites the story occurs on as well.

I agree. This is amusing. I discovered EMH about a month or two ago and did my own Archive Binge to get caught up. I recommend following the timeline on the wiki like I did. I also went over the article for each video after watching them in order to see if there were Slender Man sightings that I missed. I seem to have a hard time picking him out on my own and I still can't see him in the TV Tropes article picture no matter how hard I look.

Also, enjoy sitting through the 2 hour Ustream video.

EDIT: I think we scared him off the series by telling him just how much he has to binge.

ha ha, sorry abut that. I'm still here and I'm still gonna finish the liveblog, for some reason I'm just pretty badly stuck on the entry on "A Day In The Life." The Mood Whiplash on this series is just crazy.

(I'm still trying to figure out how my sequence for the spin-offs/background material is gonna go. My original intention was to see how immersion in this series was going to work for someone who just stumbled upon it on You Tube without any knowledge of the series wiki, Unfiction or TV Tropes. I'm hoping Can You See The Words and the one about Jeff's brother actually show up in-story at some point though, if only to make the "segues" easier.)

I know that Can You See The Words shows up in the series itself, in the form of a website a character is visiting, but even though Jeff's brother does show up in a few main-channel videos, the only way to find his youtube channel without leaving youtube would be through related videos. Aside from that, there are a lot of things on the EMH twitter account and IRL cached "boxes", and without them there's no way to fully understand the plot, especially the really recent events where anyone only using the youtube is more-or-less completely lost.

tl;dr: I wish you luck, but figuring everything out without the wiki or UF is... well, I'm not sure it's possible. Still, good luck.
