You know I was considering starting a project that was a slendy game. A 2D platformer at first that started having odd graphical glitches, figures disappearing just as they entered view for a couple of frames, shapes briefly forming in the static of the loading screens, fake errors messages, that kind of thing.

DO IT!!!

If anyone cares, there's an old Gamecube game called Eternal Darkness that did shit like that to you when you sanity meter ran low.

It is my most favoritest GC game ever, and I will love you forever if you make that Slendy game.

I thought of the same thing.  That game did some very creative things.  The best was when it gave you a false End of Game screen (not Game Over but Surprise You've Finished It).  I honestly dropped my controller and stared at the screen dumbfounded when that happened... and then laughed for like 10 minutes when the game continued.  They did things that really made you question what was going on, instead of just cliche flickers and such.  It requires some very creative fourth wall breaking to pull off with genuine impact.

Fly on the screen. I thought that one was clever.

Volume going dow. Hunted for the remote under the coushins before i realized what happened.

I've seen that game. Batman Arkham Asylum pulls similar tricks at one point..Call of Cthulhu, Penumbra and Amnesia are in the same vein but the sanity effects aren't so meta.

The problem is I have no idea where to go with that design from "fuck with the player somehow". Ideas born from playing Eversion and then watching Marble Hornets are strange ones, to say the least. Though if anybody ever came to me with a design document and the like I'd probably jump right on board.

That is kinda like what ya are asking for, a little more on the surreal side, but it very much reminds me of the mythous.

I see seven games there. which one are you talking about?

After finding this thread, I thought it would be a good idea to start watching Marble Hornets an hour before bed on a week night (this Wednesday). I watched through Entry 19.5. Terrible choices on both parts; managed to stop right after the most traumatizing part. I was surprised that I actually slept about 90 minutes later.

I was specifically ordered after that to not view anything Slender Man related, and I didn't the next day (yesterday). Today I thought "screw it, I need to see more" and watched through the end. The decrease of blind terror and increase of plot pleased me (apart from some rather ridiculous points).
I still didn't watch any after sunset...

Apart from Marble Hornets, I've only watched 2 episodes of EverymanHYBRID and read about half of Just Another Fool. How good are these other series? Same question for the blogs; I don't find them quite as entertaining, though.
And I'm sure not looking at anything until tomorrow morning...

The only blogs I'd recommend, aside from the meta blogs (e.g. Compile Truth, Slenderbloggins), are M's Tutorial (extremely influential on later blogs and the mythos in general) and Seeking Truth/The Mystic (great story).  I've read a few others, but they haven't been as interesting.  The meta blog summaries adequately cover them IMO.  I actually haven't read any of the other well-known ones (like Maduin's, Zero's, Ava's, Reach's, and so forth), so I can't comment on those.

As for video series, Tribe Twelve has great effects but takes a while to really get going.  The acting remains sub-par, but at least it has acting, unlike most of Marble Hornets.  Angel's Game is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't watched it.  There are several YouTube accounts involved, but the one I linked should have a playlist that includes everything in chronological order.  That's pretty much all I can say on the video front.  I know there are more out there, but I can't say much about them.

Almost forgot to add links to meta blogs:  Compile Truth (jumped the shark recently, but the various summary videos are nice), Slenderbloggins, Golom Tulpa Anima (hasn't updated in ages), The Slendy Review (likewise), Encyclopedia Slenderia (sporadic updates).

The real question is: how did J get the footage?  Either he was given the camera back or he took it back.
