It feels like the story forgot that we all know what vampires are already in lieu of shoving its own lore down our throat. Why did they have to be connected to weird crystal voodoo? Why not just stick to well understood lore and focus on characters? Instead of vampires just being a thing in universe, it's all tied to this singular cave system in the US?

How the fuck does that make sense? I'm fine with the progenitor of this particular group being stuck in the cave, but the universe's logic just breaks down the more the author tries to explain the monsters.

It's a curse of vampire media that everyone creates their own lore to one up eachother or remove uncomfortable aspects of the monster (primarily being warded off by Christian symbols).

Usually to the detriment since the original rules are good enough to make good stories.

Something about this episode just didn't do it for me, maybe vampires are too cliche or something or maybe it was just too slow but I tapped out about half way through.

I haven't gotten through it yet but I've been enjoying how retarded the protagonist is. Is she the dumbest protagonist of anything they've covered so far? I also really liked "I don't like that," hopefully it joins their other catchphrases to add a bit of variety

Anyone know of the pay walled episodes of creepcast are any good?

I haven't listened to them yet but I downloaded them from kemono (don't click the home page button it's like 99% AI hentai ahegao faces, just search for the patreon pages you want)

I finished it. The story pretty much falls apart as it goes on, but I still enjoyed it and the lads for the most part. Still, having tapped out of several episodes, I can completely relate.

We need a dumbest MCs covered on Creep Cast list.
 
Most vampires are kinda gay because it's hard to top Dracula and even he ain't shit compared to old Daddy Vlad. Outside of those two, it's like every vampire is some slight variation on 30 Days of Night and Blade. And then there's Twilight which does it's own thing, I guess.

The patreon exclusive stuff iss meh. So far there's only 3 things. 2 stories that were mediocre and a more regular podcast/shooting the shit episode that wasn't too bad. Can find em on Kemono.
 
I get tired of Meat interrupting the flow every two seconds with the most unbearable jokes. The penis toes and Goonies jokes were retarded, and they drag out the episodes even longer.

The goonies joke was fine and kept me from tapping out on the story when the author decided to have the progenitor vampire exposition dump all over the MC who he just met.

Penis toes was funny only because Isiah refused to react and let Meat hang himself with it.

Sorry, this is r/nosleep so you're not allowed to have anything referencing your problematic religious symbols.

Now if you were to make the vampires pedophiles...

There is some good story telling and imagery in it and some great horror concepts, but I think the girl powuh diversion toward the end was meh and I felt like the author missed ball on the ending. I'd give it a 8/10 for an internet creepy pasta, 6/10 overall.

I like the concepts explored with the Hygiene Beds. Its almost like an eldritch take on cyberpunk and I really think it deserved its own story series dedicated to that setting. The chapter where you have a woman LARPing as 80s Brooke Shields before the entire simulation crashes is one of my favorites from MHE. The fact that your average Feed Addict cannot process dopamine for more than 10 minutes is quite horrifying in how we are already progressing to that IRL.

Boy, those ghost writers from the second channel are already running out of ideas.

Very plain but I like the mental image of Toy Story characters being Thanos Snapped out of existence in real time. Shame it didn't happen when they made Brave and killed the studio before it become its current day zombie version.

Missed joke about the leaked Wolverine Origins (which wasn't connected in any way to the main topic) in not saying "worse of all, they watched the film".

A Bug's Life may have been a better kids movie.

But ANTZ is way more interesting looking back and I suspect the lessons about the pitfalls of chasing after Utopia instead of building up your own Utopia in the form of a family are more instructive than "TOGETHER WE STRONG! WE FIGHT BULLY GRASSHOPPERS". That exact same lesson is in ANTZ in the form of them building the ant tower to escape the mass drowning, but with the added bonus that you need a hierarchy to make that work.

Ant bully is the best ant themed animated movie because it has Nick cage voice a wizard ant.

There's some good vampire stories but telling someone they're a vampire story would spoil the story so it's hard to point people to them.
 
Finished Bloodridge Motel. 110% the dumbest protagonist they've had. I thought she was dumb, but like two minutes past where I stopped (killing the progenitor in the cave) she went full retard talking to the sheriff about what happened with the park ranger

I didn't mind the vampire lore, I've actually had something a bit similar in mind for a story as far as always having to keep moving goes. Would have been nice if the protagonist had remembered to eat some garlic before the final confrontation, make her fending off the master after being bitten more believable, but that definitely would have been way too clever for her

New Creepcast: I Talked To God

I foresee some friction given the subject matter. Only an hour or so which is encouraging, I like the short snappy ones best.

Also new main channel on coal strikes.

In the CC they do get hung up on minor details. Story is not too bad so far.
Edit: the wording of the story isn't the best and that is very distracting.

Definitely feels like a fan trying to cram a bunch of ideas he liked while listening to CC into a rather poorly written story. Nonetheless, fun episode with lots of great bits.
