Wait... How'd he get out of the house? That few seconds between the house and the bushes seems off.

I think there might not be anything more to hoody's actions than he's crazy, walks around, hides guns and pills in random places, breaks into people's houses, sleeps, and drinks water. One of the characters is going to start following him, and that'll be his daily routine. No rhyme or reason to it, he's just off his nut.

What do you mean?
He went out the door, down the outdoor steps, and into the bushes

As others have said, I think it's fairly noteworthy that Hoody now wants to show he also has weaknesses - It's a pretty stark change from the unflappable persona he's had up until this point. Bear in mind he could have easily silenced the audio when he was coughing.

I could see this as him warning Jay and Tim that he needs meds too, and if those run out (which they seem to be getting closer to) he'll be compromised as less able to help them. Basically saying "hurry up and get something done" before he's too slender-sickness'ed to offer any more aid.

It's been discussed before that Hoody may or may not have teleportation powers.

At first I had thought that it was Tim's house(?) and Jay was just bunking there too. Though when the figure came down the stairs... Jay doesn't cause distortion, so it has to be Alex, though that doesn't explain why he needs pills in the first place. Wouldn't that mean that everyone who has come in contact with the Operator will need them eventually? (Is that why Jay is "out of it"? Because he needs pills too and hasn't taken any?).

YES. Also, I called this being a HoodyCam episode.

Funny, I thought the exact opposite- thought it was Joseph's head shape and height. Guess I need to watch that scene again. In any case, I assumed it was either Alex's or TTA's lair (probably Alex's, since Hoody wasn't really behaving like he owned the place exactly), so why was Jay there?

Actually, thought of a few possible answers to that just as I typed it, so nevermind I guess. Could be Jay (or his masky persona, if such a thing exists).

So... I know this is the Troy Shaves house or whatever, but I'm guessing we haven't seen it yet IG? I mean, Alex's old house was completely empty, so unless it's Brian's house, it can't be Jay's and I don't think Tim's looked like that. So Alex's current hiding spot probably...

Anyway, slightly disappointed because I was hoping for a bigger plot development, but this nonetheless helped us see that Hoody is pretty reliant on the pills and that, possibly, for some reason, Alex has a bunch of his own. And they're both running out. Hoody's not as invulnerable as he pretends to be. And we have a new tape to find in 74, meaning we have a lead other than that attic.

This is probably the first entry I've seen since Entry #55 that's really, really underwhelmed me. I want to sort of get all of my thoughts down, because there were some things I liked, and some that I just found annoying about this entry in particular.

LIKED:
-It's a Hoody entry. These are a fun and exciting and I love them.
-The second mask-removal tease sparked as much tension as the first. AHH.
-Showing that Hoody needs pills too is awesome and new for the character.
-That new-ish building near Hoody's house. New locations are a good thing.
-OMINOUS ALEX EXITING THE ATTIC RUN HOODY
-Hoody showing weakness when collapsing and coughing violently. Made me shudder.

DISLIKED:
-Lack of outro text from totheark. No suspense?
-More intruding, more pill-stealing. Same shtick, switch it up.
-The length in comparison to what we got back. That was slightly disappointing, if you personally ask me.
-Why would he take the gun if he wasn't going to try and threaten Alex with it? He sort of just fled. I don't know, that bothered me.

It was still a good entry, just mildly underwhelming.
Can't wait for Entry #74, as always.
Hope the wait isn't too long again.

I could really use a TTA video to get my brain back on track with all this.

Oh, great. Another teasing Entry. Another tease of revealing Hoody's identity. Another coughing fit with no apparent danger nearby. Another video that passes with no real information given. And another fucking tape which Jay and Tim will inevitably go looking for, because this time it'll really be a difference maker.

We've seen Hoody steal pills before. Granted, it wasn't always the implication that he needs them, but still. It does beg the question why Alex was snooping around his own attic, which is rather interesting. If the series ends at Entry 78, which would be keeping with the 26 Entries per season format, we have 5 Entries left and a shit ton of questions.

The sequence in the house was adequately tense, but little payoff really. It shows that Hoody, too, is in a desperate situation and isn't exactly in control of the game, but we still don't know who the hell he is or what his motivations are. I have little reason to care whether or not something happens to Hoody, unless it means him getting caught and unmasked. I was so hoping throughout this video that Alex would catch him and make him unmask on camera, then it's revealed that Alex uploaded the Entry.

Bottom line: stop fucking teasing already. It's agonizing and infuriating.

Weren't we going to ban the practice of reserving spots and editing them later? Its annoying to read posts that don't add anything and also have to check back later to see if they said anything relevant.

I actually thought that red building was the hoody hut until I saw the size of the interior.

OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Can somebody map where that hoody building is?


To the actual entry:

As stated, I was a bit disappointed. I was happy to see a hoody entry, but yet ANOTHER tape and ANOTHER hoody identity tease. Can't Trosephim just let the cat out of the bag already? The only thing this really confirms is that Hoody knows where Alex lives and that Hoody takes the pills Tim takes, probably explaining why he took them from Tim in #61. I can pretty much predict what the next two entries are: in 74, Jay and Tim are going to look for that tape, and run into Slendy again, or even better, Alex. Then 75 will be the actual tape. On a feels note, I had feels when Hoody was walking on the streets. ;-;

I'd have to imagine the gun was taken as a last resort, given that the Operator showed up last time Hoody waved a gun in Alex's face, and his intent in this video only seemed to be to get the pills and GTFO.
