We aren't talking about movies like Unfriended, Searching, etc. We are talking about the stuff you find on Youtube, Vimeo, Newgrounds and more. We discuss a little internet history, and perhaps where some of these things got their start. This includes the old BBS stories from the beginning of the internet, to the latest Creepypastas. We did have an unfortunate technical issue with this episode in that the audio for Brandon came from his webcam and not the microphone. Because of this, you hear some typing from time to time, drinking noises, a crying baby, and the like. For this, we apologize as it's not up to our normal standards. These things have been taken care of though, and won't happen again.
