The shooting the shit episode is actually pretty decent. Unironically more enjoyable than when they're sticking to the theme of the cast. Hearing the general idea behind how these live shows will work sounds incredibly autistic and like a breeding ground for cringe material.
1.5-2 hours of sitting in a room full of sweaty youtuber fans, listening to two dudes read creepypasta in a round robin style? No thanks, Samuel.

Also got a big chuckle when they mentioned that VIP tickets are 100 bucks and it's an hour of you and like 50 other people hanging out with the guys. That's a pretty shit deal, even if you get some extra merch and a pic. You'll just end up spending more time talking with the other paypigs than the people you paid extra to hang with in the first place.

Second 20th century conspiracy video. Weird how he's suddenly way more active now all of a sudden, or maybe he's putting out actual meaningful content now?

E: wow he really did just rip that clip from Sam O'nella huh

Could be he's finally gotten used to the routine of juggling two active podcasts (+ one inactive) while creating content for his main channel. May be possibly related to Charlie stepping down from The Red Thread which won't be active again until they find another host.

Another Creep Cast Grab Bag. Covering “The Disappearance of Ashley, Kansas”, “Eyeless Jack”, and “The Pancake Family”. I’ve never heard any of these so I’m interested.

Kind of a nice mix, a vague neat cosmic horror thing, a stupid over the top shitty pasta written by a kid, and a gritty gross out body horror crime story. You get a little sample of them theorycrafting for the first, doing stupid voices and making fun of the second, and having a more earnest discussion about how effective the horror was for the third. Basically a sampler of the whole show.

Holy shit, that was actually kino content. This might be my new favorite episode. We’re eating so fucking good, boys. You love to see it
ETA: the only part I had a problem with was their critiques of Pancake Family, it felt so fucking out of left field. Honestly just close the video after they’re done reading it, you’re not gonna miss anything valuable.

Mystery Flesh Pits are such a fantastic setting for a survival horror game (actual one, not indieshit). Especially if you allow the being underneath to awake and go full on Dead Space.

Gonna go on a sperg because where else would be the best place for it. Here’s my fantasy MFPNP video game:
Survival horror, realistic graphics. You play as a guest during the disaster. When the disaster starts, you were in the middle of a tour in one of the hiking trails. Predictably, everything goes to shit and you have to survive and make your way out in time.
Wendi already said so himself, but the story really is perfectly set for a video game. You have the phone booths acting as save points, the fauna as enemies, original weapons and vehicles/gear, etc. And every zone of the park could be areas with different challenges and survival hurdles. The Lower Gastric Sea and Amniotic Thermal Springs especially pop to mind when I think of zones that have unique interactions and gameplay loops.

Feed The Pig is dumb because how would the place devolve into what it is(Hell Lite) in the first place?

In my opinion, I don’t think it’s an actual depiction of a real place and experience (well, as real as you can describe an afterlife.) I interpreted it as one of those near death hallucinations, something that was entirely concocted in the author’s brain in the microseconds before the rope broke. The entire thing was essentially a dream, the pain of being eaten was probably real sensations while he was being strangled.

I like your idea but I think the disaster is a bit too late for a game. Make it so you jump around through the entire timeline. Be one of the mexicans who first went into the cave with the promise of the reward from the land owner (before dying horribly), then a tourist in the first iteration of the resort before something goes wrong (before dying horribly), then be a tourist in the more modern iteration that decided to explore outside the trail etc.

First story was pretty good, not as great as that other one where the cosmic horror comes to earth and all hell breaks loose, but still good. Only real gripe is that the story doesn't feel like it should take place in the 50s. The 911 call really does feel like it takes place in a more modern era, like the 80s or 90s, not to mention you don't need to worry about telephone wires crossing dimensions if you could just say there were cell towers in place and that's how the calls came through. It'd still fit into the realm of plausibility that nosleep requires if this was just some Podunk town in an area that barely had any newspapers or news stations to carry the story beyond the immediate area.

Second story was pretty fun all things considered. Kind of reads like a shitpost ngl.

Third story took a minute to get going, but when it did it was a pure rollercoaster. Straight to the point with it's horror and the ending is just so perfect. Don't understand how no one in the stack ever figured out, in the 20 years they were tortured (probably not even that, probably in the first few years before they were flattened out), that there were other people around them and that those were their family members. That really stuck out to me the most. But otherwise it was a surprisingly great story.

 

[dick brain]

More like anal log horror ('cause it's all shit from a butt).

Don't know why everyone was so mad about the STALKER film, I really liked the part where all the tacticool operators line dance to Billy Ray Cyrus's "Cheeki Breeki Heart".

A long time ago I heard someone refer to Ben Shapiro as a "professional opinion haver," and it kind of made me more judicious about who I bother to pay attention to; it's both funny and sad to me that now even that job description is too controversial for TPTB, and most """influencers""" are better described as "professional fence sitters".

I don’t think they were all stacked together until the end when the “reporter” got the detective to come. They spent most of the years before isolated in individual cells being slowly flattened, then when they were “ready for breakfast” the girl gave the detective the evidence and she or anyone she could have been working with stacked the family. At that point they were insane and couldn’t see or talk so they probably had no idea until she said it was the whole family, to complete the torture.

I like this a lot. You could have the stories disconnected entirely, but it would also be cool if they were linked somehow. Not necessarily plot wise, just some gameplay feature that ties it all together nicely. Another part that might be interesting is a character sneaking into the park post disaster, though a final action packed and tense escape sequence with a final character during the disaster itself might be the best climactic way to end it.

The classic is having each character finding the fate of the previous character in gruesome detail. Maybe with the occasional twist of a character that didn't die but was absorbed into something else and kept alive without the ability to be killed (not necessarily as a monster).

My biggest gripe is whether it should end with a full on underground being awakening, possibly dooming the planet in a spectacular fashion, or leaving the door open to it being in a sequel.

Also you have to have DLC that adds the option for vintage fuckin' in pools of aphrodisiac gland juice maintained by the National Parks Service.

I'm really happy he put that clip in.

Anyways a good video, though I expected to have more of a body count than less than 100 civilians. Those Fruit companies only mistake was not killing enough commies. South America would be shit with or without them.

 

[HandsomeDan]

I didnt realize this one was out. There is a really good Myth of the 20th Century episode on this subject. At one point the armed banana ships were faster and better armed than some US Navy warships. Ill see what our friend has to say on the subject tonight.

New Creepcast, on Feed the Pig.

Listened to it on a long drive. It's really good but I disliked the ending. Even if the final act is supposed to mirror suicide, in the end suicide is pretty much defined by taking the easy way out of a situation rather than sticking with it and making the most out of it, which means the main character worldview never changes.

Furthermore, the moral of "don't commit suicide because you'd go to pig hell" is pretty bad in itself. Suicide is a selfish act and the argument against it doesn't fix the selfishness.

The last thing a suicidal person needs to hear is how selfish they are.

I thought this was kind of the point, though. It is a selfish act, the little kid even says to him at the start that he did something really bad, therefore the punishment is severe. The author had to redeem himself, AKA feed the pig, in order to escape. I also got the vibe of “you don’t really know how good you had it until it’s taken from you.” Suddenly after being tortured so badly, the life he took for granted and selfishly decided to end doesn’t seem all that bad. Even if in a sense it’s still rather selfish since the willingness to feed the pig comes from a place of self preservation, some people need that brutal wake up call to get their shit together.

My takeaway was that you have to choose, either take the easy way out but live forever in turbo hell, or suck it up and do the hard work of self improvement.

I'm currently working on an analog horror/world building general thread and I need someone to cover for my lack on Wendigoon on AH bias. Context for the 'next Spielberg' quote and any other lulzy things other than the obvious (the friendship with Kister, the scary vs. disturbing debate).

Creep Cast on Stolen Tongues

Takes them a while to get into the story. Wendigoon’s story about taking his wife camping is funny. Hunter hates cuddling. Story is pretty good, Isaiah gets spooked.

Isaiah is like a zoomer-boomer, I love it. No wonder fatherless NEETs call him dad.
