Meanwhile this happened over at EMH Land (UF+Angora people):

So they wanna try to contact "GreenFeathers" (and i also have seen someone trying to contact Vin too).
What if this is what HABIT has planned for a long time now? So he gets Vin, Evan and GreenFeathers on the same place ....

There is a reason EverymanHYBRID is my favorite of the "big three."
This is why. The acting is so top-notch.

I've always thought that Evan's acting was a bit over-the-top, but he actually pulls off the schizo-affective personality disorder extraordinarily well.

I never think his acting is over-the-top You and I both know that if he did any less, people would complain that it wasn't enough.
Besides, being on stage before, I know that your acting coaches will always say "be over the top." On stage, over-acting is encouraged.
At least, that's what my acting coaches told me. You gotta keep in mind they were kinda weird.

I would imagine it's the difference between different styles of acting. As a disclaimer, I've never been trained in acting, so I may be talking completely out my rectum when I postulate on these things. Typical stage theatre is very exaggerated, very over-the-top just like you describe. If you look at television drama, where there is a lot of content added during post-production in the form of music, sound effects, color manipulation, etc... that style of acting is more than what is required to communicate the emotion of the scene. Obviously Slenderman vlogs have to strike a balance between the two; you can't have a musical soundtrack or scare chords on a 'found footage' style video that is supposed to be unedited. At the same time, you can't be all FORSOOTH HERE YE COME HITHER YON MAIDEN. Just saying.

I understand. I'm just saying its perhaps a thing of Evan is used to acting on stage.
I also think it has to do with the whole "recording yourself" and POV camera acting is still sort of new to the acting world. No one is really THAT sure how to handle it acting-wise. Sure, you got Blair Witch to look at but....well....that speaks for itself.

I think given Evan's pre-HABIT personality, it stayed proper and true to character as

Spoiler:

I am at a loss for words...

Spoiler:

Let's just hope for more videos soon I guess...

Well, the fact is that unless they want a "he died off camera' moment, we'll probably be seeing the "today" video within a day or two. AT least, I hope!

I know it makes sense for there to be another video soon but with the huge time gaps between videos I wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait a little longer then we hope

Possibly, but the Hybrids do have a good track record of saving up a few important videos to be released in short succession.

And we all know the one line that dropped a lot of hearts. I've actually seen people making jokes about it and it's pissing me off.

Yeah I guess so, it's just my cynical side coming through, honestly though, I just want them to get a few videos out in the next two/three months and end the series. I've loved the series all the way through but the suspense of it all is killing me!

Pretty solid entry.
