Marble Hornets, a bunch of videos of absolutely nothing happening

I used to be so into this and the Slenderman ARGs. While they weren't great, a lot weren't terrible either. I rewatched Marble Hornets recently, and it's kinda fun to watch these kids get better at editing and acting as time goes on. Also, a lot of the stories were kinda cool. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone nowadays, but in my early 20s they were fun.

The Marble Hornets thread around 2010 was a real good time. One of the ARGs got the audience to make videos and stuff, a lot of us joined in.

There was one guy who'd come in every few months just to say "Guess I won't be sleeping tonight :gonk:" and that was funny

Does anyone have a good rundown on Romeo Rose? I was talking about goon-related trainwrecks with some other goons online, and couldn't exactly what happened with him, other than the creepiness, being a rapist, red shirt, and his insane chompers.

Oh, and the date someone went on with him. SAclopedia's giving me nothing, and Google has it all over the place.

Others here can do it better but, coincidentally, I just heard this segment about him - on Howard Stern of all places

-In July we are going to a Concert for Band B. No additional purchases intended.
-In August we are going to a Concert for Band C. No additional purchases intended.
-In August he is going to a Concert for Band D. It is not Star Wars related so I don't expect much in the way of purchases but hey you never know.
-In September we are going to Nashville for a couple of days.
-In November we are going to Grand Rapids for about a week.
-In December the new Star Wars movie comes out; we will be seeing this movie multiple times. We will also be purchasing all the action figures, and most likely buying a lot of other Star Wars merchandise all fall. With our current spending attitudes our Star Wars expenditures would probably quintuple, but I am hoping to have a budget in place that my husband can agree on before September 4 2015 aka "Force Friday".
-I want to go to DisneyWorld next year. PLEASE TALK ME OUT OF IT.
Also spent several months eating deli meats and fast food while pregnant while people in the thread screamed at her that she was seriously upping her risk of gestational diabetes. guess what condition she developed and came into the thread begging for help with.

For a quick summary, she and her husband (or maybe she just enabled him) were lining up at Target/Walmart/ToysR'Us and spending thousands on all the new Star Wars toys being released around The Force Awakens. Then, tried to save money by getting a new cellphone plan that required them to spend $1k on new phones for a incremental discount on the monthly bills.

Also, she was the primary breadwinner in the family, and there was apparently something about a trust for the husband but he wouldn't ever tell her how much it was (it was low). As for the reason these overgrown children wanted to have a child, wel...

Blue Story posted:


I never answered this before because I expected that the reason would be too audacious for belief and that the thread would be locked, but what the heck. I want to have a kid because I believe that the combined genetic heritage of myself and my husband is too valuable to waste, and that we will be improving our society and our world by our combined genetic heritage. It has too great a potential to just pass it by. I told my husband about five years ago that I decided we should have kids and he said he was fine with that. He is pretty excited now.
