      I’m sorry, and I know people love this series, but please let it be over so we can get some actual good content from them. I haven’t watched an episode since the first season of this so I can’t know for sure, but the ones I did watch seemed like they were written by young teenagers at max or just straight up children. If Ryan wasn’t such an engaging reader it would actually be painful to listen to. If someone has an ep wit an actually good story lmk

      it feels like it should just be a given on youtube videos but thanks to them removing the ability for viewers to caption things it became so much more rare to see... i kinda understand why they removed that since people were doing stuff like including their own comments in the subtitles cause they thought it was cute and funny (but was actually just frustrating for anyone who actually needs/wants subtitles), but man it sure does mean a lot of channels no longer have real CC

    • @trainer2653

      Watcher is great for this, but it also speaks to how some TH-cam channels just don't care.
      Captioning services cost in the range of a few dollars per minute. There's no reason why TH-cam channels who employ multiple people can't either do it themselves or contract it out.

    Okay but Shane's fact that he uses his camera when he doesn't have his glasses for a bit is genius. Like I'm legally blind in my right eye and very bad vision in the left and when I lose my glasses I turn into Velma and the camera trick would be a decent way to not be as blind

      @@justmonika1229 It may depend on whether the person has near sightedness (where closer objects are clear, but objects further away are blurry/not clearly visible) or far sightedness (where further objects are clearer, but closer objects are blurry/not clearly visible). Glasses change the state of an impaired vision by refracting light into the retina 'correctly'. If the person loses their glasses, their vision will be impaired, or they cannot see objects clearly in either of the two most common classifications mentioned previous. However if you take a picture on your phone and view it (which is a refraction of light into a glass lens to create an image in cameras, which is the same as refracting light into the lens to the retina to create an image in our own eyes), the photo will be clearly visible/have no blurriness, as the phones lens are 'correct' or 'normal', unlike the 'incorrect' or 'abnormal' lens of the near or far sighted person. By looking through the 'normal' lens on the camera in a video or live feed, the person will be able to view the space around them clearly in real time since the image refraction will look as if they were wearing their glasses. Sorry for the word vomit, that just about sums the science of it up in layman terms!

It’s not horror so much as just a murder mystery, but you’re put in the shoes of a detective just sort of going over interrogation footage and putting the pieces together about what happened and the woman/women being interrogated. P fun and not a super long form game either, could be cool for you guys to try out.

    Even though I saw the ending coming after file 04, that was so freaky! So, my take was that they were being hunted by some sort of skin walker. The way Sydney's humming became a distant whistled tune, the way she was found dead and then in the next video was up walking around-- I don't think the others knew she was there in that clip but at the same time, if they thought she was dead why would they continue the camping trip?

      Cause she looked pretty dead and there’s not exactly a hospital in the woods.

      Tbh I found the “and it was right behind you!” too predictable to be scary, but that’s just me. It was scary before, but it’s unfortunately been done so much it’s not as scary to me. What would have been scarier is if we saw what had happened to the hikers after Tape 9 and then… that was it. There was nothing to do, it had already happened and nothing could be done to help or stop whatever did it. You just have to live with the horror that this happened, will keep happening, and what can you do about it? Nothing.

    ronnie did an amazing job on this one! i read a lot of horror stories and creepypasta so i was expecting to know how this would go down. instead i was pleasantly surprised! using a fairy circle instead of the overused blair witch figures was a good twist. i particularly liked the whistling being a calling card, because while im used to the whole "the last victim is the narrator" trope; having such a distinct signal, that is unique to the danger present in the story, not just the found footage, really adds to the story for me. it is a more connective thread than just the camera, and makes the whole concept that much stronger. seriously, very well written, i enjoyed this more than other stories i've read!

Since it seemed that Heather's friends were possessed by the wind, I thought this was related to the entity awakened by the Necronomicon Ex Mortis turning Heather's friends into Deadites.
