I didn't see a thread for this, so I thought I'd toss it out there. This is XMandelbrot. They made a page for themselves on Television tropes promising Fan-service, awesomeness and Slender Man. Hmmmm.
Well, it's got one of those.
Lets be honest with ourselves. The acting is forced, the coughing is so 'in your face' that you'd have to be brain-dead to not realize it's a slender-cough. Hell, people who don't know what the hell slenderman is, know that it's a Slender-cough. Also, is this how everyone in mass. talks? My thoughts:
Spoiler:
Pilot: - Yawning. - a slenderman in the tall grass.
First Installment - Must you name this in such a way that I can't ignore that it's fiction. - ten minutes of yawn. - It's a ...*hold your pants*...a plumbing problem!!! CALL MARIO. - A slendery plumbing problem. - and a final touch of derp, just to wrap things up.
Hoosac Tunnel - Editting boys, EDITTING. I don't want to watch the camera bounce slowly forward for 5 minutes. -HA! -HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Slendy just wants a hug. You don't want a hug? Awww...ok. *charlie-brown-walks back into the forest*. - Wow. You accidently pressed a button. - slendy just saved you from train related death. You owe your life to him. - Derpy epologue.
I'm too derped out to continue.
It's not great guys.

the second video is nearly 11 minutes long...... I don't like long videos.
I don't know about the whole "we knew about slenderman and thought he wasn't real but then he showed up" approach. The only time I've ever felt it wasn't annoying was with EMH.
"started on the forum of some website" There is some research for you right there.
I actually don't mind the distortion in the series. I feels more like a camera have problems compared to alot of the distortion in series that feel like after editing, but yeah, so far, I'm not impressed

I watched the whole series. Aside from the very end of Attempted Breather Episode and the Judgment there isn't too much worth watching. Hoosac Tunnel was pretty good too. I do like their Slender Man and distortion effects a lot, but acting is hard to sit through and there is much of it.

Yeah. The acting isn't that great. But they have had some interesting plot developments. For example: Who in the was shooting at them in "Judgement"? It wasn't Slender Man, that's for sure. The series might actually be turning itself around.

If they can edit as good as they do then I agree. It is almost always a rough start.

Okay. By now, I've probably ruined my reputation by praising the "Slender Man Short Film" but I honestly don't care. The point is, X Mandelbrot has definitely improved. They recently had some viewer interaction about translating a message scribbled in Japanese. After getting the translation, their Facebook page was hacked IG, which I thought was handled quite well. Also, while the Slender Man is rather obvious in the first video, it was a wise choice on their part to start uploading Travis' videos as well.

A new episode is up. It is called "October". Justly named since it is a summery of the month. I enjoyed this video and hope you do too.
