Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

[Computer Guardian]

Technically yes, don't forget that Ben Drowned was a real ARG where you could post video replies to affect the story.

I'd also like to point out that the videos most people know Ben Drowned were recordings of the guy who made it's Majora's Mask ROM Hacks on an emulator, so that'd kinda qualify it as such.

Speaking of Drb0sch, I think it's one of the better series in the genre, although the bar is very low: most of the competition is either "oh no, the Gmod ragdolls are alive!" or "I decided to reupload my old mildly strange Minecraft let's play for no reason".

i know being "atmospheric" is pretty gay and just means showing you nothing for ten minutes, but this series really does it well
imagine going out of bounds in new vegas and wandering through empty scenery at night until you see occasional ruins that have a couple of empty bottles, then you see a quest get added
don't watch fagan hawkes because he just kills the whole concept by dryly explaining everything that happens

 

[Sunflower Samurai]

I think "oh this game is haunted" is still entertaining if the actual mods made to illustrate the story are well made, seeing all those retarded "gaem spooky ooooo" shit lots of people read back in the day come to life is kinda fun in an autistic way, like those old romhacks of the dead silver or whatever for Pokemon

I agree, I just think Sagan Hawkes is a faggot and I hate him.

I refuse to take anything Sagan says seriously after he started soying his pants over the portrayal of mental illness in Slenderman.

Another video on it has been released

I don't get the sudden fascination with the drb0sch stuff. I watched two of the summary videos and it was pretty meandering and dull. "Weird stuff exists outside the playable area" is a kinda cool concept, but not really interesting the way it was done (imo). Is it just because it's New Vegas, so everyone immediately goes "ooh"? This is the fourth video about it I've seen in like, a week.

because you're watching some fag explain something that's supposed to evoke a feeling instead of having a plot

Crazy that this kind of thing is still a mystery till this day, presumably there's a handful of people who know, but nobody's come to put any claim to the image since then? And how many people actually managed to get down from the tower restaurant before the plane hit that day? It couldn't have been many.

Waiting for the ARG/digital horror of "my chat gpt bot became self aware and hacked and killed my dog."

 

[didelphigina]

Randomly came across this video. It's apparently tagged Analog Horror, so I was curious. I don't know what's going on, but I do applaud the visuals. Though, this feels more of digital horror than Analog Horror, but I'll take this any day.

They have some other videos if you wish to see them. Not analog horror, but still interesting nonetheless. All I can say is that Cosmic Horror goes hard and should be more actively used in horror. Of course, do them right and not fill in every trope in the book.

I like the bit about the original photographer who got fired going "it's weird the photographer left because the camera broke, NO PHOTOGRAPHER EVER would go unprepared without a spare or something"
Well, lad, maybe she (because the lady from the organization they mention that knew who the photographer was said it was a woman) was just a shitty unprepared photographer.
Maybe she went unprepared because it was a last minute thing since you got fired so close to the photoshoot.

Maybe there's a million little circumstances and possible human errors that could have caused it, but NO it has to be a mystery because NO ONE would do that.

I'm reminded of a scene from a Joan of Arc movie, where she argues that the sword she found was a clear sign of God's mission for her, and a monk (who's also a hallucination, possibly her rational mind talking) tells her that of all the ways the sword could have ended there, she chose divine intervention because that's what she wanted to see.

The photographer was hired at a very short notice, forgot her spare cameras/parts/kit in her car because she was careless, unprepared, nervous, or some other circumstance, and she was lucky to leave the tower before the attack. Then she asked the people who knew about her to keep her name a secret, because of survivor's guilt or just because, this being the biggest incident in recent history, it had the potential of drawing too much attention to her and she wanted some fucking privacy.
The company may not have had the photos or records about her employment because it was such a last minute thing, and given the circumstances, they probably disregarded anything about the photoshoot. Bigger things to deal with at the time.

That's where it should end, but no, it's a mystery, and there has to be some dark or profound reason why she left the building and she's unknown.

Ok rant over, gimme a hat.
Gimme a hat for my hat.

Do you ever think of a horror idea that geniuely scares you?
Fungi infections are scary to me. Its literally another organism living on you. On a microscopic level, its moving around and multiplying.

Imagine a skin infection where its a bunch of tiny, pulsating dots that physically react when you touch it, moving around like mites. It itches, it burns. It constantly feels like ants crawling on your skin while you hear a very faint sizzling sound. It starts off on the face. When itched, white specs come off like dandruff which makes it able to spread other areas on the body. If you don't wash your hands immediately after touching, it can spread anywhere- including your eyelids.

Rn I'm currently dealing with an allergic breakout on my face. My skin feels scaly and it itches around my mouth. Really sucks, but then I thought about that concept and it gives me the creeps. Just the thought of something alive on a microscopic scale crawling and burying itself in your skin, especially your face. Jesus...

There was a very short horror video game that played with this setting. Another one with a similar theme but with a parasitic twin is Covetous, a flash game where you play as the tumor. Body horror is something that evokes disgust, fear and morbid curiosity and can be quite effective at being terrifying.

Edit: Found it, it's called "Discover My Body".

Unsettling Stories did some short fiction with a similar premise, but I dont think it went anywhere.

This game used to freak me the fuck out when I was younger, glad to see I used to be a total pussy!

Loss of individuality and the concept of people I've known for years being replaced with copies terrify me the most.

Prion diseases are even more terrifying considering that they're neurodegenerative diseases and cannot be cured, the idea that it could be used as a form of biological warfare leading to potentially billions of people dying is not only possible but also the most horrifying thing possible.

Well considering one of the most important people in my life trooned out, I've already lived that reality. That and having someone develop schizophrenia which went untreated for years, it's surreal seeing a person change like that right in front of you to the point your very existence becomes unrecognizable to them.

It's why developing schizophrenia or Alzheimers is one of my greatest fears.

Prion diseases are even more terrifying considering that they're neurodegenerative diseases and cannot be cured, the idea that it could be used as a form of biological warfare leading to potentially billions of people dying is not only possible but also the most horrifying thing possible.

I feel like humanity is destined to hit a reset period the same way it happened in the past. History repeats itself. I don't believe in a complete cyberpunk future, I feel like we will hit near extinction and start all over again due to biological warfare brought on by needless greed. I like to think once I'm dead, all this will be behind me. I won't need to worry about the aftermath of whatever happens if I succumb to it early since I'd be dead, therefore I won't have to experience it. It makes those situations seem less scary. At least there's death waiting for you. The real anxiety is what death itself entails.
