I like this. I like this a lot. It's very classy, and the distortion is far from being overdone.

This is my second favorite minor vlog, actually (of the ones still running). It gives you character development, which I like, it has a plausible reason for the others in it not to believe him (which also makes us question what he says), which I like, and it has internal conflicts, which I like. I look forward to it with every update.
Also, I just rewatched the latest video. I recognize the layout of that house.

Oh shit... Jason was phone?
And yes as everybody says, I love the character development. Michael is not a bad actor and I am highly anticipating the next episode.

The only thing I didn't like is the random distortions... I didn't see any signs of slendy during them, but of course I only watched it once. Great episode nonetheless.

To be fair they've used distortion on multiple occasions whilst Slim's only appeared on-camera once that I know of. I think they're playing it more as a signifier of his general presence than the EMH-style on-screen-right-now sign

Alright, so I just watched the new video. This is getting quite interesting, especially now that we've sort of confirmed (you know, confirmed in just that manner that you aren't completely sure if it is confirmed or not) that we can't trust everything the protagonist says. Which is reasonably new, considering that we usually can trust the main guy at the very least (Noah, MH!Jay) or if not, we can trust the other two guys to make sense of the first one (Vince and EMH!Jeff). I like where this is going.

That line hit me like a fucking brick. I love how he brought that in there. What do you guys think will happen next? He's going somewhere, I'm guessing he's going after the man that Michael saw in video 4. Your opinions?

Yeah, I have to agree. That line sort of caught me off guard and I couldn't focus for the rest of the video? Whyyy? THOUGHT PROCESS: -"Because that's what you are, one big virus" - ...oh shit, the Slender Man is a virus? - Wait, so watching this, we caught the virus. - And every other one of his subscribers caught it as well? - Wait, what the hell his thoughts are a virus wait what.
My mind rambled too long on that, so I have to go watch it again. But really. Do want moar. SO MUCH MOAR. <3 eue

Me as well. I was very struck by that, especially since I've had my younger sister say something similar. Oh family. Anyway, I think he was already under some sort of control when he made the video. The fact that he was saying something so callous doesn't shock me, but it is more how he does so. He keeps looking off to his left, as though someone is standing right there and coaching him into what he is supposed to be saying as well as watching him to make sure he does not give any sign of distress to cause alarm. Basically, someone was watching over Shaun while he was telling Michael to stay away from him, without letting Michael know that there is someone right over there, watching him.
I love the characters and the family feel to this series. ETA: Totally snuck on at work to watch and post about this:
...and someone else please tell me they nearly broke down in tears during this entry?

I think I pooped a little :c
"I need someone next to me through this thing..."
Spoiler:
Well judging by the times that the distortion happened, Slendy was with him through this thing... And... Made contact? I'm guessing that because that happened before Slendy interacted, he has some sort of mind-wiping ability thing...
Also his hand was black, has there been any other instances where he wears black gloves?

Slender had his hand on Micheal's shoulder at one point, almost like he was consoling him. Which is kinda odd, but defiantly interesting.

With the latest video MLA's Slenderman is actually shaping up to be my favourite out of all the series I've watched. I'm curious about the video's sole tag though: "entry8FINAL2". I'm trying to stifle the assumption that there's a hidden video log #8 as this series isn't at all ARG-like, but I can't figure out what else it might be suggesting either

This shit right here was not expected. He kept popping up and then goes over to him as he was crying. Rock said he was consoling him. I think he was somewhat mocking him. He was crying because he was there so he went over to give him a "Fuck You" pat on the shoulder.

Just watched through all the videos in this series, and I do have to say these guys have done their research on what makes people enjoy the vlogs. I'm definitely catching a Dreams in Darkness vibe. Even if we can see it as well, what's to say we're not crazy too? And then there's their Slendy... God, I like this one. I kinda hope that there's a video where we can see Slendy, and Michael can, but Eric can't. Or maybe Eric can see him but nobody else can because... I don't know. There's so much potential with this series and this idea. The acting's not half bad, and I desperately want to give Michael a hug. And it creeps me out.
I really hope this stays the same quality. I love it so.

Doing it in a mocking manner makes a shit ton more sense, now that I think about it. I couldn't come up with a reason why he would pat him on the shoulder in a comforting way. It would be totally out of character for him.

I took it more as a territorial gesture. I mean, short of Slendy hiking a leg, placing a hand on someone's shoulder is a very territorial gesture. It was He is mine, I'm already here and he's already mine. and I got the message loud and clear.

Quick, somebody draw a picture of a feral slenderman on a leash raising a leg and taking a tinkle on he leg of a stupefied Michael.
Totally agree.

HOLY FUCKING TESTICLE MONKEYS!
Jenn as for your question, no fucking idea. I'd assume it was some off screen thing.
Now as for the video.
Spoiler:
16 fucking years! My god that is insane! Which Michael is extremely good at acting insane. I would believe Shaun and think Micheal was a fucking nutjob if I didn't see Slender Man too. I'd say Michael is this way because 16 years for a sane person in an insane asylum would do that to you.
Then the Slender Man at the end... The last frame got me. Did not expect it to come closer.
