* In ''[[The Gamers Alliance]]'', [[The Spock|Nymgrock]] finds the elven sages' forgotten diaries which chronicle the first spread of the Blood Fever which occurred hundreds of years earlier. The first entries show some curious, out of the ordinary events in the sages' lives. However, as the entries progress, the effects of the Blood Fever start showing up in more gruesome ways and the writings become increasingly desperate and terrified, eventually culminating in the respective final entries where the writers perform a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to end the plague. [[Foregone Conclusion|It doesn't work because the plague shows up deadlier than ever in the present day, which has been the very reason Nymgrock sought out the diaries in the first place to find information about what could be causing the plague]].
* There's a web-only story which isn't an apocalypse log, but a diary found in a life raft out at sea. The sole survivor of a shipwreck saw dolphins around her all the time and believed that she was turning into one; the last entry is more or less a heavily misspelled variant of "Flippers are useless. Fuck it, I'm going into the water."
* Numerous ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' records, notably
** From the Spanish branch, [http://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com/scp-es-019 SCP-ES-019] is an MP3 headphones whose radio can tune to transmissions of several (and quite disturbing) sceneries of human extinction.

* It is very common in ''[[The Slender Man Mythos]]'' for the stories to be told in an Apocalyptic Log format. But then, if you're writing about seeing [[Humanoid Abomination|Slendy]], that means [[Captain Obvious|you've seen him]], and if you've seen him, it means [[Paranoia Fuel|he let you]]...
Line 536:
* The [[ARG]] viral campaign for the Nine Inch Nails album ''Year Zero'' is a wide collection of barely decypherable websites That describe a [[Crapsack World]]. These websites are sent from the future by a team of computer programmers and quantum physicists as a warning to those of us living in the time of the events triggered their circumstances. Bonus points for one entry written by a White House aide describing the monster sent to allow the Earth to... shall we say, [[Kill'Em All|start]] [[Reset Button|over]].
* [[Played for Laughs]](?) [http://failbook.failblog.org/2011/12/31/funny-facebook-fails-failbooks-best-of-2011-countdown-5/#more-54271 here]. Videogames can be mortal. Facebook is a great way to let friends know.
