Slender beta now available for the courageous
If you have nothing better to do than gibber in terror today, why not try out the free beta of Slender? Reports suggest it’s crap-your-pants terrifying, especially in the dark. There’s a trailer through the break, but in short, it’s a game all about the classic creepypasta Slender Man, which inspired Minecraft’s Herobrine and Endermen among millions of other horrifying concepts. You can try it on Mac or PC if you have a clean pair of underoos handy.
I really tried to avoid posting about this due to unceasing fear but manamana insisted. Thanks, man; you know I work alone from home, right? Whimper.

'Slender' beta review | BGMediaReview
"'Maybe if I’m careful, he’ll never find me,' I thought to myself. 'I’ll tread lightly. I’ll be cautious. I’ll mind my surroundings and be vigilant. Maybe I’ll never even see him.' These thoughts all passed through my mind in the blink of an eye. They appeared in my head as my heart rate increased slightly and my breathing, while steady, was taking on a certain weight.
I had been wandering through a forest at night. Strange, how I couldn’t remember entering the forest. All I knew was I had to find eight pages before he found me. I wasn’t sure why I wanted the pages or what information they would contain. Maybe it was a stupid high school bet or maybe they would unlock a mystery. Still, I trudged on through the dark, conserving the batteries on my dying flashlight and flicking it on only when necessary."
