One thing I love about this is just imagining if, in another reality, TMA the podcast hadn’t happened yet and this came out and everyone was psyched for a new vhs horror ARG and had no clue about just how vast, vivid and gripping the lore behind it is. Imagine just like slowly dropping hints to those people about what was really going on. Imagine them making theories about the Archives having no idea who Jon or Martin are yet, thinking that this is one of those recruitment tape based args that is specifically targeting them as hypothetical employees and not actual characters. Just approaching the whole concept from an entirely different angle. It’s really exciting to imagine. I just want to make a whole script full of these and how people would have reacted to them and how slowly revealing the world more and more would go. A lot of these sorts of organization based ARGs have a lot of fact and event based lore but nothing as engaging as how TMA actually is. Merging the strengths of the genres would be fascinating. Or maybe I’m just a weirdo who thinks it would be funny to screw with people and watch them scramble to come up with theories. You can really tell what sort of genre I’m interested in based off of that lmao. Maybe that’s a sign I’m another future creator of more convoluted lore bullshit. Also I just really like TMA. Okay my rant is over lmao. EDIT: It would also be cool if there were a few people who vaguely knew about TMA in the audience but weren’t sure if it’s the same thing and as it went along they’d find it more and more familiar and it would become increasingly clear that it is the same thing and they’d be really excited and gripped to see how far it would go and how close it would get, and they would remember it more and more as they went along so when Jon finally enters the plot they’ll be like HOLY SHIT THERES A MAIN CHARACTER IN THIS I FORGOT ABOUT HIM BUT I REMEMBER LOVING HIM AND THEY HINTED THAT HE WAS HERE AND IT SEEMED VAGUELY FAMILIAR BUT I COULDN’T QUITE PLACE IT. I’m just making weird fictional social experiments at this point. I’m like a web avatar but for introducing people to my special interests.
Bit late, but this video has now given me motivation to write the Magnus Institute Guide Book. Congrats on an amazing video!! *-btw: You who watch and know and understand none. You who listen and hear and will not comprehend. You who wait and wait and drink in all that is not yours by right. COME TO US IN YOUR WHOLENESS!-*
UPDATE [Feb. 8th, 2023 - 1 Month after post] It’s now legit official, I’m making it. I’ll need to make *several* rough drafts before the actual thing, but once it’s finished, there will be a Google Doc link to it on the original comment! I’m hoping to get it done before TMP/The Magnus Protocol comes out in October. So, TMA Fandom, WISH ME LUCK!
-did you hear about the guy who was shot with a starter-pistol? -Hello Jon. Apologies for the deception, but I wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself. I’m assuming you’re alone; you always did prefer to read your statements in private. (slightly strained) I wouldn’t try too hard to stop reading; there’s every likelihood you’ll just hurt yourself.

I was so ready to get “hello Jon”ed
Close… they added a part of the speech to summon the powers
I love myself some analog horror. Especially referencing my favorite horror podcast.
this reads like a bill wurtz video if bill wurtz was trapped in the spiral
THIS IS THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENR I HAVE EVER RECIEVED HELLO?!
@@daniildickovsky your videos are like a fever dream and that's not a bad thing

ALSO THE WRITING OF THIS IS SO GOOD SO IT MAKES IMAGINING IT MORE FUN THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT SO WELL LOL I SHOULD’VE MENTIONED THAT
THE MOST WILD/POS COMMENY IVE EVER RECEIVED... HUGE THABKS MY GUY.. laso FUCK makes me want to live in this alternate tma arg universe what da fuck..
The four easy steps being "EYES" is just so painfully real. The entire clip is genius.
I love the implication that Jonah just tries desperately to get all his potential employees to enact the ritual - like, "pretty please?"
This is really cool, I love the reference to Jonah's "Hello Jon" speech there at the end.

I thought it was about to say
"How can you tell if they're an avatar?
They're fucking unhinged! But you might not find out in time."
This is actually so cool and unnerving:0
