Slendy and Friends / Day 14

Slender Man is the biggest douche I have ever encountered. Well...Maybe not the biggest... That's a title that changes hands about once a week. He's certainly the skinniest.

Seriously, every time I start to make ANY progress, he tails me long enough to get his rocks off, then grabs me, whips me around, and game over.

The good news is I've realized the game isn't random, at least not entirely and not in the way I thought. The start area is always the same, and I'm getting a better feel for the landscape, but the page locations do seem random.

Yup, gonna count that one as a loss

With this astonishing revelation I was able to up my personal best to four whole pages!!! Yay me!!! But Slendy wasn't having me steal the fanfic or poetry or whatever he keeps hidden all over the woods. *REEEEEEEEEEE*PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH* GOD DAMN IT YES YOU CAUGHT ME!! Maybe you can be a bit QUIETER about it! *Clutches chest and exhales slowly*

Contrary to my previous thoughts, the game is actually a little scarier with the lights on, and with friends on Skype. The lights make it harder to see once the flashlight starts to go, and the odd sounds made over the speakers at random times caused as many jumps as Slendy himself.

Has anyone else played Slender: The Eight Pages? How many could you get?

Anime Challenge: THE FOURTEENTH DAY:

What anime never gets old

I am a person who does not like new things. It's part of the reason I started this blog, to force myself to play something other than Skyrim or Legend of Zelda. The same goes for movies and TV shows. I will happily watch the same movie again and again and again, hissing at the mere mention of an unknown title, so I guess you can say there are ALOT of shows, anime and otherwise, I can watch over and over and over.

But the anime I can (and have) watch a million billion times is Cromartie High School. 

Cromartie follows Kamiyama: a normal, well behaved teenager who happens to attend a school for delinquents. Among his classmate are a robot, a gorilla, Freddy Mercury, and an adult plane jacker posing as a teenage boy. 

The show doesn't make a lick of sense...Which makes it one of the most awesome things...Well, ever. 

Fire up your streaming provider of choice, what anime can you watch for the rest of forever?

Is that a tentacle on your back or are you just here to murder me?

DOM........DOM............DOM..........DOM.....

Slender: the Eight Pages. Lights off. Headphones in, volume up. All alone. Lets dance, Slendy.

The forest is dark, the sky clear. I catch the occasional glimpse of stars between the branches. All is quiet save for the occasional cricket song or gentle gust of wind. I click on my flashlight, dim as it may be, and head what I can only assume is North.

Ahead I can make out a clearing with a large tree in the middle. I walk around its base, and find a piece of paper with the words HELP ME in large crooked letters.

The music changes, the subtlety replaced with a deep pounding base. Mkaaaaaaaaaaay, my nice walk through the woods got a little bit more...Creepy.

I got lost quickly, with nothing but trees for as far as I can see, which with the fog and dim flashlight isn't far. I go a good five minutes without a single landmark to speak of, let alone a page or Slendy.

An old pickup truck with a red cab comes into view, with a page tacked to it's tailgate. Progress! But as I plunge back into the trees I am suddenly grabbed and swung around to the right, coming face to face with his Slendiness himself. SUNNUVABEEEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The blood in my veins was suddenly and violently replaced with needles. God damn it!!!

Ok, get it back together....Focuuuuuuus. I don't know if my spawn point is random each time, or if my bearings are truly screwed, but I don't find the tree again. Or the red truck. Instead a large tank looms into view, one of many in a group. I zig and I zag among them, but no page. There is a building just beyond them, surely somethings in there...

Nope. Just Slendy, scaring the bejeezes out of me with a loud GONG in my ear as I turn a corner. Nope nope nope nope nope I think I'll take my chances OUTSIDE where I can run (or walk, as the case is) instead of getting cornered, thank you!

....Where oh where has the little *wince* Slendy gone....Oh where *choke* Oh where can he beeeeee *sobs*

The next several minutes would seem boring in any other game. Just me walking through the woods, nothing really happening, save for a single page, found on a large silo, that just so happened to have the Slend on the other side of it. But the whole time the hair on the back of my neck was standing at attention. I knew I was being followed, I could feel it. Occasionally I would turn to look behind me, the crackle of static telling me he was still on my tail. Sometimes my curiosity would be rewarded with a quick, sharp change in music and a glimpse of Slenderman.

Then my flashlight died. Balls. Balls balls balls balls. Balls.

I bumbled around the darkness for about 10 minutes until I bumped into a large blue tanker truck. A page! Score!!!

*Tap tap tap tap* Oh hai Slendy. No, you don't have spinach between your teeth, you don't need to shove your face in mine when you catch me.

*Sigh*.

Check back in tomorrow, I'm not done with this skinny bastard. DOM!!!!!
