Thanks for the info, Zander. It seems like TJA is really branching out from Slendy. In a way, i like it. I've always loved urban legends and things like that, so it's cool to see someone try to bring them to life. On the other hand, i think adding all these elements might stretch the story too thin.
And on another note; HOW FREAKING STUPID ARE THEY? Seriously, first

And now, after everything that's happened to them, they're gonna fuck with something else? And everyone says Jay is genre-blind...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys it! It's nice seeing other creatures, albeit extremely terrifying considering how well they've executed them so far. I'm rooting for them to pull it off, but it gets more difficult to explain when there are half a dozen antagonists lurking about.

New Video.
I'm sorry, but these girls just keep asking for it.

Namedropping out the ass. I find it odd that there was some distortion on their video when there wasn't any(that I noticed) on the 5zero2 video. Also, something to ponder about the continuity. There's certain situations like at the end of this video where they should be completely fucked, but they somehow end up okay. Like when they drove through Hell's Gates, the footage cut off and we don't know what happened with that, save for them being okay. It's like they're given the lucky chance of hitting the reset button.

Why is it while this guy is crazy talking for like 5 mins, no one else comes over to help? why is she sitting there with a camera instead of trying to help this guy ANYWAY, why is this guy horribly "mauled" with perfect commercial boy Paul Mitchel hair? why does slendy have an obvious bag head??!?!?! @___@ hmmm looks like I lied.. I guess some of them were worth mentioning... THOUGH I do quite like the very end where slendy pauses, and * HAND MOTION* "STOP SLENDER TIME!"

360, go check out the 5zero2 video to see it from the other perspective. That'll answer your question regarding the "Why is it while this guy is crazy talking for like 5 mins, no one else comes over to help?". As for her helping him, he's her friend/ex, so she obviously cares about him. And that didn't look like a bag. I thought that was a paper-mache cast.
For the hair, Slender Man doesn't mess with peoples' hair for some reason. Serious. Go look at other videoseries.

My issue is nothing to do with the fact that he is talking all cwazy, my problem lies with the fallacy of NONE of the others who were sitting around that fire ( including this girls best friend) happened to go over with her while she dealt with an obviously unstable and potentially dangerous situation. The fact that characters simply vanish from the scene because it is convenient to allowing someone to go on an insane rant is just... well sloppy. as for the hair, good point freind! maybe slendy has investments in hair care product o_o ... or hair loss research.. seeing hes a bald man... say it with me maybe? maybe he was born with it! =D

Watch the HellsGate video. It'll answer your rant. They did go after her immediately.

Ok, here's my issue.
For me, TJA projects feels like there is always such a disconnect between the videos. Like, they spend video after video frantically searching for this child, and then they find her, and suddenly everything is puppies and rainbows again. They don't really seem affected by this long dissapearance. Furthermore, where is the girl now? If my daughter got Slendy-napped, would you go and leave her with anaother set of parents again?
Ok, maybe the girl isn't available or something, perhaps there is some logistical excuse to explain her lack of presence, but then, even more recently. In the last video, the last video, they went into the woods, during the day, got lost and flipped out. Why are they in the woods at night now?
They just don't ever seem to connect emotionally from video to video. They go from horrified, terrified, and haunted; to playful slappy fights in such an amazingly short range of time that I have trouble connecting to the characters.

I agree with you, Checkers. While I'm generally a fan, one of TJA's major flaws is those weird emotional disconnects between videos. It makes them less believable. It's almost like each video is it's own microscopic story arc, and they start over each time.
Also, WHO WAS PICTURE?

At this point. I'm just used to TJA's, genera blind, shennangans. Clearly the characters either don't know or care to be aware of their bad choices. As far as their odd mood switches are concerned, I'm justifying it as them being so confused and spooked by everything that any bit of normalcy they can garner from being silly is taken advantage of. Also walking around odd areas that would normally seem like an obvious bad a idea, gives ripe opportunities for spooky stuffs to happen. Which is what we all want to see right?
Spoiler:
My only real complaint about this video is Xakk's disfigurement reveal. I thought we we're going to see a gouged out eye. Or massive blood and stuffs. Or even the start of a blank face? I know someone made a comment about Xakk becoming a slenderman on the 5zer02 thread. Any one of those would have been better than a Marlyn Manson contact with perfect skin.

Xakk looked weirdly like Logan at the end there. I wonder if that was an intentional reference.

First off, how did we get here from the last video? Sure, sure it does make sense, but didn't you film the rest of the trip? It was just discordinate from last video.
On the other note, how did they get the baby to have the cough of death??? Did the kid just start coughing and they went "YUUUUS CAMERA!" This kid is a better actor then the protagonists...

I feel there should probably be some mention of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] here. That looks like it could be important or something.
Glad to see I wasn't the only who thought Xakk looked like Logan there. One thing though, what does he say before he mentions Noah and then after he mentions Evan? I can't make out what he says, or if he's actually saying something there.

Yeah, their twitter mentions a lot, like how Amy stayed back and that TJ went back to Illinois. Gotta keep in mind that things do happen in real-time, and they just upload when they can.
The brofist was adorable though, and it really was creepy that she wound that thing up.

And in the Twitter, did anyone else notice Slendy's shadow in the family porch picture?
