It’s time to pack up our plastic pumpkins and devour the last Kit Kats, as the Halloween season is now officially over. Whether that means it’s time to don a Santa hat and sing some carols, or get out your plushy turkey for a more regional part of the holiday season, the month of the spooky mood has passed.

That means though that the peak of fall has left us a lot of new content to dive in to, particularly in the webseries sphere. This leads us in to our first segment this week, which is purely a collection of my favorite web videos from the week in the world of immersive storytelling. Not always newsworthy in size, but just purely things I enjoyed.

Ekat’s Favorite Videos This Week

Not the most catchy title, but I’m working on it. A large amount of content from channels I keep a close eye on has dropped around Hallow’s Eve, to the point where this is our major segment this week, and therefore the perfect time to introduce it.

Factors Of Zero And Dream: Oblivion

If you’re familiar with an earlier article where I praised this series, or search out new and fresh webseries on the regular, chances are you’ve already seen this channel and it’s new video. With each new upload this channel becomes a bigger deal, and this new episode doesn’t break that trend. From my experience talking to him, I’ve known my friend and series creator Aidan Elliott preferred quality over quantity, and that rings true for this series. While it only barely escapes a monthly upload schedule by a hair, the wait between each few minute episode is worth it, and it shows that it’s purely time spent putting effort in to each new video.

Dream: Oblivion retains the quality and dreary atmosphere I really love the series for, and continues to build the channel in a visible direction without revealing too much quite yet. As per the second installment, there’s a special secret for eagle eyed viewers who think out of the box as well, that expands the context of the video’s central focus.

Deadlift Moving Co Has Two New Connected Videos

Deadlift Moving Co, another series featured in a previous article, has graced us with two new videos that hit just a few hours before the start of this article’s writing. After a lengthy, but highly enjoyable and never once dull introductory arc, it seems things may finally be picking up.

The videos showcase some of the characters looking for and locating a gray artifact. The purpose of the object, and the reason for locating it, is unexplained in the video itself. If you look in to the comments however, a reply from the channel reveals this was part of a geocache for a company’s ARG a character is participating in. But after some subtle but apparent weirdness, I’m not entirely sure they found the right artifact they were looking for.

The first video can be found here.

Kid Bitter Drops An Entire Mixtape

Kid Bitter is a very strange YouTube channel, that despite my own admiration, I don’t exactly recommend frequently. It’s an odd mix between Alantutorial, Seventybroad, South Park, and a crappy SoundCloud account. If that sounds weird, that’s because it is.

The best description I can give the series would be that a man in his twenties, looking for a job, creates a YouTube channel in the hopes that vlogs can support him financially. He doesn’t seem to be in a very stable mental condition though, and as time goes on he begins doing extremely weird actions such as aggressively rapping at his viewers after intentionally hitting his head.

While the main character has spoken of a mixtape before, I didn’t think there would actually be such a thing. I was proven wrong. In what’s probably a first for this community, a character in a webseries has officially released a mixtape, featuring beats taken from Gorillaz and Jay-Z, among others. Why? I have no idea. Kid Bitter is as confusing as possible, and part of me really enjoys that. So if you like just being extremely confused as to what’s going on or why something exists at all times, you can check this one out. It’s not for everyone though.

Due to the amount of new videos uploaded this week, 14 tracks of the mixtape plus one “normal” video, I’ve decided to simply link the channel itself here.

It’s Trool Day On The Cry Of Mann

Moving to a different kind of followup story, Wham City Comedy’s newest venture comes to a close tonight on Adult Swim at 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. It’s been a very odd ride, like anything else the group has done, and I’m very interested to see how it all ends. If you’ve missed any episodes, the AS website and mobile app have you covered, and you can watch whatever you’ve missed at any time for the foreseeable future.

Conclusion

I hope you all enjoyed a different style of News Week segment! I should be back on Monday at a normal time without dropping the ball in any way. As always, if you have any feedback, drop it by @Ekatclan on Twitter. I’ll see you then!
