Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives SlightPotentialspoilersAheadAll good theories/thoughts. And yeah, after the end of S2, the first one seems pretty likely.That coffin is a weird one. When we learnt it had a staircase inside I was extremely confused. Notbecause it makes no physical sense, which, well, it doesn't, obviously, but more because I had a hard time figuring out which entity it belonged to. Coffin suggest The End, but it's also made of yellow wood and is warm to the touch like the doors of The Distortion.That's one thing I really enjoy about the show. You get a lot of tiny pieces that you can then start to put together over time when you get the blanks filled in better. Although the balance between horror and mystery is a difficult one, and some of the horror definitely goes away later in the show when you know more of what's happening. At least the sort of horror that makes you wonder what's happening and how things work/fit together. I guess it's still full of potential horror from you knowing some of the answers though. You hear a story about a weird book that reeks of ozone and gives you vertigo and a man with a lightning scar throwing himself off a tower. Well, that's odd. YOu learn a bit more and suddenly he shows up years later, watching someone from across the street. And then things just go down hill, or should I say ladder, from there, and you know good old mister Crew probably caused it, but you don't know why. You just know that him showing up is probably going to be bad for someone's general health. I like that evolution, even if the way the stories unsettle me has changed.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives No. At that point, I had not looked anything up. Believe it or not, I was just describing stuff as I saw it.I don't have any strong predictions right now, but a few thoughts.slightpotentialspoilers1. I think John's going to have to go on the run2. I think we're going to actually see a ritual, or an attempted one, especially considering we heard about The Unknowing, whatever the hell that is3. Melanie King is going to come back at some point; you don't develop a character that much without a payout someplace4. Martin is probably going to die, and it's probably going to wreck someone hard if he does5. that fucking coffin...it's gonna show up again and someone is going to get buried in it URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/534695/#p534695 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives SlightspoileryspoilersAh, that makes sense. Even in your first post you managed to use a lot of words that are used for their names, which I found kind of interesting. Not sure if you had looked them up at that point or if you were just lucky Though I guess slaughter, flesh and corruption aren't particularly unusual words.I remember having a lot of fun trying to piece together the different fears around halfway through season 2. Old Passages was pretty helpful in that regard since we get to hear about a lot of them through their respective hallways.The Distortion has an absolutely fantastic voice actor, and that laugh. I love it.I Elias is a slimy bastard, but I really like his character. Depending on where you are in the podcast by now, you'll know a bit more about him.And you'll definitely learn more about the rest of them as well. Many characters from the early episodes will be mentioned later on, like the Anglerfish victim Sarah Baldwin showing up in episode 28 or Michael Crew showing up like four times in the first two seasons. That guy always fascinated me, probably because Ex Altiora was the spooky Vast book that got me hooked, even if he was only briefly mentioned in that fourth episode.Also fun fact, if you didn't listen to the credits, but Leitner and Gertrude are voiced by Jonny's parents which is pretty cool if you ask me.Another fun fact. There was a contest on the Magnus subreddit where people voted for the best episodes amongst the first 100. First place was 81, A Guest for Mr Spider, second place was episode 2, Do Not Open, and third place was episode 85, Upon the Stair.81 was extremely creepy to me based on the descriptions in it, and has inspired a whole lot of fan art, though most episodes have by this point.Do you have any predictions for the future plot/character arcs?

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives slightspoileryspoilersI looked up the entities, but only read the general wiki page. I didn't read each individual page, so I spoiled myself only a very little bit. I had been suspecting entities based on fears since around episode 7-8, so this just proved that I was right. Heh.Old Passages just confirmed what I already knew, honestly.Fatigue's writing is creepy as hell. I've never had insomnia to quite that degree but I've been up for longer than sixty hours at a stretch a couple of times, and shit does get weird at that point. Poor woman.The Distortion is profoundly creepy. They did lovely sound work on its voice.The reason I say The Buried is one of my favourites is because while some of the situations are kind of hit and miss for me, some of them are spot on. I like small spaces, actually, if I can get in and out of them. But put me in a tight place that I know I can't get out of, and I have trouble with that. Also, really really deep water when I'm under it? Like being in a submarine? Ugh...that would be tough on me.Least favourite character so far is probably Basira. Not a huge fan of her voice actor, sadly, and her attitude just bugs me. Maybe I'll come to like her later on. I'm also not at all a fan of Elias, and I don't trust him. Not big on Trevor Herbert either, but that may be because of his whole vampire-hunting thing.I want to learn more about Martin and John and Gertrude. Also, Gerard and Mary Keay. and Michael Crew.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives @Jayde:SpoilersUp untilEpisode 80Did you look up the names for the Entities or are you just really good at guessing? Personally my favourites are probably Stranger, Spiral and Eye. Episode 47, A New Door, when we meet Michael for the first time has always been a favourite of mine, not to mention the writing in episode 74, Fatigue.And yes, shit definitely got real. That's one thing I like about the finales. Everything just gets worse.Flesh is a weird fear, but you'll learn more about that one later on.I personally didn't care much for the Buried for a very long time, but there's an episode or two in the fourth season that changed my view quite a lot. Maybe it's because I've always kind of liked small spaces, though being trapped without nough room to breathe definitely does not sound like a good time.Have you given episode 35, Old Passages, a relisten yet? I like that one for the subtle lore dump.Also, do you have a favourite/least favourite character? Anyone you're looking forward to learning more about?

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives So you have listened to 80 episodes in 13 days? That's quite impressive. Oh yes, I remember the one with the voice clip at the end. It felt even creepier because when this episode came up, they didn't do much with sound effects and sound ambience.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives So I've definitely been devouring this series and just finished episode 80, which is the end of season 2. Shit just got real in a pretty big way.Most of my theories that I started with earlier were either right or at least partially right. BeyondwillbespoilersFavourite entities are The Buried, The Spiral and The Stranger. Not a huge fan of Slaughter, honestly, and Flesh gets kind of old.Some of my favourite episodes, in no particular order:- an episode with a coffin that sings when it rains, I've mentioned this before- an episode with a book that summons ozone and vertigo (also mentioned before, I believe)- an episode where a man gets trapped in a box for days- an episode that takes place in a deep cave, and has a really creepy voice clip near the end- an episode on a subway train- an episode that takes place on a space station- an episode in a nursing home with John Amhurst- an episode with a book that predicts death- an episode involving a shipwreck- an episode involving taxidermy (hello, Mr. Angler Fish, sir, please don't eat me)Really, the only episodes I straight-up dislike so far are the one about wartime and the two involving Trevor Herbert. I'm just...I'm sorry, vampires suck.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives That makes sense, yeah.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives Ooh, a playlist. That's even better.OkaypotentialspoilersbeyondFor those of you who know the series, this won't matter, and I might even be wrong. Also note that I'm staying way the hell away from the wiki or other spoilers, so while I don't mind vague ideas or hints or whatnot, I absolutely don't want any spoiler bombs dropped.Anyway, here's my theory.Every episode so far has to do with some sort of fear, and every episode has to do with something weird related to that fear. First is fear of being snatched, or perhaps of something beyond your comprehension. Then fear of being compelled, also fear of dead things and the unknown. Fear of compulsion again, plus the weird hypnotic table. Fear of vertigo, wide-open spaces, our relative smallness in the world, and possibly of lightning? Then fear of flesh, perhaps religious fear. Then fear of corruption, pestilence, microscopic living things. Then of slaughter, mindless violence. Attached to every one is at least some sort of otherworldly activity. My bet is, there are multiple entities in play here, and each is somehow associated with a fear or group of fears.That's all I've got right now, but bear in mind, I'm something of a horror buff, and I look for patterns.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives They did address episode 5 in one of the latest Q's. But a lot of the weirdness that's going on early in the show is kind of a mix of them trying to find the tone/their footing and throwing out bits and pieces to hook the plot into later. A lot was planned out from the beginning, but other things definitely came later/got clarified a bit more.I think episode 2 actually managed to win second or third place when the subreddit voted for the best episodes amongst the first 100 about two years ago. The statement giver in that one is a bit of a fan favourite.Also I'd like to know more about this pattern theory of yours.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives Episode 5 wasn't awful or anything, it just was...weird, and a little flaily. I feel like they're trying to build something in episode 5, and either I'll come to believe they did it right and its randomness was good, or I'll come to realize that the muddiness was due to early lack of direction. Either way, I haven't listened to an episode yet that I actively dislike. My favourite is either #4 or #6 now, but #2 is still good.My pattern theory is bearing more fruit.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives @Jayde: Glad you're enjoying it so far. Episode 5 is indeed a rather odd one. The one that really got me interested was episode 4, Page Turner. Something about spooky books and a mysterious library just sounded fascinating I guess.@Targor: You will not be disappointed with season 5 (at least I highly doubt it if you've stuck around for the first four seasons). Episode 167 was just released this week, so we're making good progress. I assume there will be a mid-season break like with the last two seasons though, perfect time to binge the first half.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives I listened to it until the season 4 finale and am now waiting a bit so that at least half of season 5 is out. I really like it very much. It's great how these seem like stand alone episodes at first, but almost every single case has something to do with later episodes. It can get a bit difficult to remember stuff from 80 episodes ago, though, so the Wiki is very useful.

Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives
Re: Horror Podcast Recommendation: The Magnus Archives I just remembered that I'd made this topic back when season 3 was still ongoing. And now the fourth one is only seven episodes from the finale. Anyone who has kept listening? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about the story so far? Obviously such opinions would be quite spoiler heavy, but yeah.In the meantime, Rusty Quill also released a 95% improv scifi show called Stellar Firma, with one of the main characters, David7, being played by the same voice actor as Elias from The Magnus Archives. Also very much worth checking out if you're into the sillier side of things.I suppose I could have made a new topic, but since there already was one right here, I decided to just bump it to the top, it might get more people interested too, which is always good.
