My roommate found this one, and I haven't seen it on here. (I apologise in advance if someone else already posted this.) Takes place in Australia, which is cool to have a series from somewhere else than the US. So far it seems like your typical found footage Slender Series. Not bad so far.

I first saw this on UF. I like it. I was kinda surprised at how good it was considering how many new series that have come out and that I cared nothing for. A real diamond in the rough.

wow. I agree with Tahrgat, I was expecting something rushed and poorly edited and badly written, but it was actually not half bad. I am eagerly awaiting the next entry.
There is a new entry out, just if you guys want to know

This is actually very well-done so far, I'm definitely going to keep watching this. In his Location Scouting video, the protagonist showed himself to be likeable, and knowledgeable in terms of filming things, which is ALWAYS a good sign in a video series.
He does seem to be using a lot of things similar to Marble Hornets, in terms of effects and distortion, but I think he does it well and I have no qualms with that.
So, the guy in the hard drive videos has been identified as speaking French. Anyone around here fluent enough for us to get a translation?
Another thing I'm curious about, too, is the fact that there seem to be two proxy channels, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. As far as I can tell, the latter's name means something like "silence truth"? Feel free to correct me on that if I'm wrong. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thank you for pointing that out! I had no idea about the other two channels!

I actually like the location in 0011.MTS, cause you can hear the cars in the back ground so it gives the appearance that he is in a local area, but yet the further he goes in the quieter it gets. probably just me but that makes it a little creepy for me.
New entry is out YAY

Yaaaay backstory! Although our protagonist still claiming to be unafraid? Let's see how long that really lasts him.

bah I was going to post that up, but you beat me to it... in a double-post, my legion of sworn enemies
this could be useful though, if we figure out something he hasn't. and hey! his name is Jake! we have a name! unless I just wasn't listening before >_>

this series really is good, i'm enjoying it so far, and i like the fact that they don't upload a new video every week. and so far it has my attention :3

You know the more i think about it, the guy in the videos could very well be Jake himself. "TheCallingOfMe" Maybe Slendy teleported his own hard drive back in time? LOL NO I just made a paradox.

That would be an awesome concept. I don't think it will be the case here, but if it is then you surely called it and my mind will still be just as blown.

Well that was... succinct and threatening. I'm looking forward to the big day now, I hope they've got something awesome in mind for that.

We finally have a face!
And in the description there's a "code" that reads

help is near

Heh, and it only took a year for us to get that face. Also, I think the video description is more like leetspeak than any actual code.
Overall I've liked this series, but it's starting to feel kind of slow. I really hope we get some solid story, or some visible action in the near future. There's only so many times a guy can run from nothing until my suspension of disbelief starts to falter.
