Ah, this wasn't something I "missed," so much as I suspected it was just part of the distortion. Still not sure.

I'm inclined to believe that it was the operator approaching Jay, rather then Alex, since it was accompanied by such a high level of distortion.

So, I stopped paying attention to what everyone is writing about once it devolved into the Unfiction HOLY CRAP ITS A SHADOW LETS ALL TALK ABOUT WHETHER ITS A CRYPTIC CODE IN BASE64BINARYMORSE CODE THAT YOU HAVE TO TRANSLATE TO ENGLISH FROM LATIN!

I'm just scrolling through the pages now, waiting for Pravado to show up and talk about how much he hated this entry.

I mean, seriously, it's just writing an entry guy, I can do that in TWO MINUTES and not have to wait THREE FRICKIN DAYS AFTER THE ENTRY why doesn't he post more im entitled and i deserve this and he should put more effort into his work and if he doesnt care about his fans than he should stop writing posts altogether but garbage you guiz.

...Are you actually under the impression that what you just said had any more substance than the things you're bitching about?

We're slipping into Videodrome territory here, guys.

Only Alex is Brian O'Blivion and Jay is Max Renn and Tim is David Cronenberg.

If you've never seen Videodrome, go rent it. Seriously, get some culture.

[Grumplestiltskin]

O'Blivion was based on Marshall McLuhan, you know. You should read some McLuhan, Serum; I think it would really resonate with you.

So the points I made in this thread just... Aren't interesting? Or ludicrous? Or lame? Or just wrong? I'd be interested in discussing them, I made several rather long posts with some cool ideas that I got no response on. I mean I only posted them to see what you guys thought. Just sayin', if anyone wants to post counter points or supporting evidence I would be very interested...

Lithp-

The entire last paragraph of my post was a satirical commentary on pretty much what he writes for every single entry. He's always complaining about how easy it is to make the entries, and how it takes so long, and I was turning that around and using the same lines in regards to him.

Unless you were referring to something else, then... meh. Don't care.

The very rare occasions when I post are pretty much just to tweak noses because it amuses me. Also, I'm curious to see how many times I can get away with it before I get banned.

(Cue the banning... NOW)

In regards to how Jay got back to his house, could he have driven himself in that "fugue" state? In Entry # 65 Tim drove himself to the annex after being attacked by the Operator. Maybe Jay drove home, put the tapes up and flopped into bed, going to sleep at once, like he did later on.

If this turns into another bash on Pravado thread like Entry 70 turned into, I've lost all faith in these forums. I thought this was a place for community to discuss these events happening to people - i. e. Jay, EMH crew, etc.

I've been thinking about the memory loss idea and I almost wholeheartedly agree with Lytrigian. Despite having studied memory extensively, this never occurred to me.

There is an action called priming in psychology, which is a way to navigate the memory web. For example, saying hair, then asking for a synonym for rabbit has the person primed to respond hare (yes it's a bad example, bear with me).

I think we have the right of it that Jay didn't remember anything relating to Marble Hornets, or even Alex after the events of this night. Something made him forget all of his involvement with MH and most likely, due to the blanks in his memory, he simply filled them in. It wasn't until he found the tapes that his memory of Marble Hornets, which hadn't been wiped, but stored in the back of his mind, kicked in.

Then some information came out of the unconscious describing the project, but complex information stayed out of mind. I think this can explain why Jay is so vague on the topic of Marble Hornets - he simply doesn't even remember the point of the movie. He knows about as much about it as we do.

He may have filled in the memories with fake ones, but that doesn't mean the old ones are gone. The videos are showing him what actually happened and destroying his fragmented, created memory.
