TEN YEARS OF BEN DROWNED

Good afternoon! On this day ten years ago, Alex Hall posted a horror story on the internet. That story grew and evolved into so much more, and is the foundation upon which this community is built. Without it, many of our paths may not have crossed, and lasting friendships would not have been formed. I just want to say that, from the bottom of my heart, I love this community and am so incredibly thankful to Alex for his contribution to the direction of my life.

Now, let's get to some news. This community's got just a bit of new content coming along lately, and I'm excited to share it with you.

From the artists of Awakening, a new PMV titled Dead Hearts.wmv will be premiering at 6:00pm EST on September 12. It's a collaborative labor of love from a bunch of talented people, and the work they've put into it is unbelievable. You can catch it on Rosy's channel.

You can catch it on Rosy's channel. Our boy Ryan Geever is working on the next chapter of his Ben Drowned Explained series, which you can find right here. We highly recommend any new fans use these as a guide if you're either unfamiliar with the story as a whole or if you're more suited to listening than reading.

series, which you can find right here. We highly recommend any new fans use these as a guide if you're either unfamiliar with the story as a whole or if you're more suited to listening than reading. I have decided to officially reveal this wiki's new sister: Missing Links, a wiki for fan-made Ben Drowned content! We've already got a good team of contributors ready to help build it up, and hopefully we'll be able to bring her up to this wiki's level in the near future.

There are a few TOP SECRET projects in the works, things I can't officially reveal to the public, but am excited for regardless. Hell, most are still in the planning stages. We've got some time before these are ready, but I feel the need to tell you that we've got stuff on the way.

That's just about where we are at the moment. Where continuing community projects are concerned, Johnisdead (which you can read about here!) has just premiered an incredible update, which I can only describe further by saying, "...whoa." Lots of smaller-scale fan-made stuff has been made lately, and that's just the sort of thing we're planning on filling our new wiki with. If you can't tell, I'm really excited about that.

So, I guess that's all we have for now. My friends, it's been a ride. Let's enjoy the rest of this story together and continue to create our own.

ABOUT THE ARG

The Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge ARG follows the story of a malevolent entity called BEN, which a college student called "Jadusable" discovered in an old copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Initially posted on 4chan, the story turned into an alternate reality game when the players unknowingly helped release BEN onto the Internet. In their attempts to stop it, players stumbled across the Moon Children, a cult that somehow had ties to BEN. Various characters and players - Ifrit, Rosa, Alex, and Ryukaki - tried to take on BEN and failed, sacrificing themselves so we may have a chance to defeat him.

Keep in mind as you view the wiki:

Some of the ARG's information has been lost or destroyed due to websites and forums being lost. Recovery efforts for the remaining missing content are being made.

A few relevant videos have been taken down from characters' YouTube channels. They can still be viewed via re-uploads, which can be found on their respective pages.

The current incarnations of youshouldnthavedonethat.net and Within Hubris are not a part of the current Awakening story. They are archives of their canon counterparts from 2010 and 2011, and are not supported by Alex Hall.
