Man, I miss when the term creepypasta referred to a creepy, fictionally ambiguous story that was posted around the internet and had a degree of mystery to it, not "I BUY GAEM FROM FLE MARKET AND WHEN I PUT UT IN A SKELINGTON POPE D OUT AND KILD ME THE END"

But those became the worst of them all.

There were only two I've ever gotten behind. That one with Morrowind and the creepy dude spidering around, stealing your health slowly - because it was almost enjoyably believable (though far and beyond utter bullshit, unfortunately) and Ben Drowned. And Ben wasn't due to the quality of the story per se (oh no teh spooky unnamed cartridge i bought at yard sale!!1!), but because there were those videos that got regularly uploaded with decent work put behind them.
Does this dude's voice make anyone else want to rip their own heads off? I mean he's possibly got the most nasally shitty voice in the universe and he has a series of video where he does nothing but read massive blocks of text in it all day fucking hell.

Mostly because the author is a pretty top tier sprite artist.

Video game creepy-pastas do best by taking a beloved game and giving tangible evidence to what happened (Ben), or otherwise staying within the obvious realm of the engine. Unfortunately, poor writing either in story or technical execution, often ruin this. Hard to talk about your hyper-realistic blood scenarios when most games in the early 90s are running at like 240 to 480p with 64mb or less of total size. :v: [t]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120411182457/creepypasta/images/6/6b/Screenprint_024.jpg[/t] Also, please, writers out there, stop starting your story with "I FOUND A BLANK (media format) WITH (probably the game name) WRITTEN ON IT." Yes, prototype cartridges are a thing and are often this way (they're also neat as shit), but it's such a hammy cliche that makes me want to put whatever I'm reading down right away, or at least when I use to actually peruse a few creepypasta websites for fun.

[QUOTE=SgtTupelo;48079213]"I was crying, vomiting and bleeding from my nose but I still kept playing the game."[/QUOTE] the main character from the game looked right at the screen with black holes instead of eyes and then a skeleton popped out
"And then the game killed my friend but who cares let's keep playing"
The best ones are the ones that go for subtlty, not shock. They provide minor pieces of evidence through the story, unusual circumstances, and generally don't actually show you too much. They don't go for the gruesome, they basically provide a framework and hints towards something that they never outright state, and then set the reader's mind to work filling in the blanks. And they never try to outright claim absolute reality, they leave it to the reader to decide if they want to believe. The subconscious is far better at scaring you than a writer.
[QUOTE=ZeroTimesCookie;48079022]I'd watch, hell I'd even pay, for a series with Gilbert Gottfried reading bad creepypasta[/QUOTE] agreed, though I'd pay my whole life savings and morals to listen to Ron Perlman read one.
