My guess:

After debating with himself about quitting and fleeing after knowing that Jessica may be long dead and that Tim may (MAY) no longer be his ally or friend, Jay will eventually decide to stay on to see it through. Whether he says it or not, this is because he fears that The Operator may stalk him no matter how far he flees, which means that he would simply wind up back at square one, except with no leads and no allies, let alone people even in a similar situation. At least here he has some way of trying to figure out what happened to his life and the lives of the others involved. "I'm gonna see this through. For Jessica." type of thing, maybe. Maybe he knows it would nag him forever if he never found out, hence his quote in 75 that basically said he would rather be doing this than living alone, being nobody, doing nothing. Regardless, the series would come to a boring end if he tried to quit, so in the end he is going to this address.

He debates this in his head for a week, decides to go to the address in his own stalked way, staking it out. He stakes it out for a week at least to decide if its safe or try to wait for someone to show up or come out. He finally decides the only way for answers is to go in.

Entry 77:

He enters. During daytime, unless he's the dumbest person ever. There is no one there but there is evidence of whatever activity occurred. At this, I won't speculate but it could be anything ranging from some overturned chairs to a corpse. Whatever it is, he inevitably finds what we all know, hate and love: a tape. Probably still in a discarded camera. I'm thinking on a tripod maybe? The one used to interrogate the prisoner.

He takes the tape, then two things could happen:
A) The Operator appears, turns day to night, whatever, Oppy shenanigans. Jay flees.
B) There is nothing else to see at the house. Jay departs.

Either way, he's watching the damn tape ABSOLUTELY. Obviously. So if (A) and Jay uploads 77 immediately without watching the tape, then 78 is the tape, but I think its more likely (B) and Jay posts 77 after watching the tape, and the tape is the other half of 77. Instant grat, we see the tape.

The tape shows an interrogation. My bet is Hoody interrogating Alex. I don't think Alex would use his well used picture of Amy for a note, that looks like it had been in Alex's wallet the way it was folded. Hoody pushed the limits of interrogating Alex in 67 and perhaps believes, in his pill-barren insane state, that he can capture Alex and The Operator will not interfere if Alex is not in mortal danger - hence not pulling his gun in 73.

So we get some interrogation of Alex. Remember there was no sound in 67, so we don't know what they were talking about. Simply their conversation would have been revealing I think... Hoody's identity by his voice maybe, Alex's ranting screaming, who knows? This tape would be unedited by Hoody so it wouldn't be like all carefully hiding his identity like 67 or 73. Anyway after some reveals, we get the shocking "oh shit!" moment of the Entry:

Tim appears and intervenes. As Tim, not Maksy. Maybe he tries to offer them pills, demand it needs to stop, I dunno, but there's a gun involved. Alex will pull the trigger if he gets his hands on it. Hoody won't hesitate again to kill Alex, especially since he's off the meds. Someone might die. If someone dies, Jay is gonna feel TERRIBLE guilt, especially if it's Tim or Hoody and Hoody turns out to be Brian or Seth or someone else he was already trying to avenge - Jessica already weighs heavy on him but if Tim died now? "I should have been there with him" "I should be the one dead, not (x)"

Maybe TO shows up and makes them run for it, hence the abandoned camera still on the tripod. Maybe TO takes the corpse and disappears. No matter what, the content of this tape tells Jay what to do next depending on who survives, etc. Can't speculate much further than that, but that sounds like Entry #77 to me.

Seems like a solid theory, but I wouldn't be surprised is TiMasky makes an appearance, given that he knows the address.
I think he might be lying in wait to speak to Jay.

Or this. Or Hoody could be there too. Its hard to say, but something in the general framework of what I suggested should be the setting. Who knows what happens when he gets there, but a tape of what he missed seems like a good bet if Tim or Hoody isn't there to meet him. Or Alex is there and tries to sweet talk him like he sweet talked Jessica in 76... That might lead Jay to popping Alex in the back of the head or even killing him. THAT would make for an intense Entry. Jay snaps.

That would make for a good entry Smile it's been a long time since Jay saw Alex, so it's probably about time.

Or Jay discovers Alex has actually been dead since entry #76 and the phone message he recieved during entry # was a recorded message and Hoody's even more manipulative then we ever thought and needed to set Jay agasint Tim.

You know what would break my heart? Tim finding Jay, late at night, walking around in semi circles, not even being able to figure out how to walk around in a full circle. th]how[/i] to complete. Tim finds Jay, takes him back to the hotel and gives him the pills, but to no avail, Jay's mind...is just gone and Tim is now the protraganist, struggling to discover the answers.

Or hell, we know takes their memory and affects their minds, but it seems to affect people differently (Jay for instance, at least seemed to know where he lived and didn't, Jessica, after an apparent short period of exposure - although, I guess, since she was friends with Amy and Alex, it's possible that given that Alex used to be in so much contact with The Operator, it would account for her greater detoriation even after all those years) what if it starts affecting the speech or visual sensors in the brain? What if Jay becomes blind or can't speak or both? :shudders: Or hell, maybe we'll discover that was the fate of one of the crew....

Maybe Brian?

(Tim just isn't hurting enough, is he? He's going to be the Artemis of Marble Hornets!)

My guess, and this is wild, with no one else to turn to, there IS one last person Jay might seek help from. Alex. We don't know that Alex was trying to harm Jay directly. He was pointing his gun at Jessica (at both times). Did we ever see Alex attack Jay direct? No, it was aimed at Jessica, Jay merely was in the presence of her during those events. And lastly, when Jay ran out of his place in Entry #46, Alex could've easily jumped him and over-powered Jay before he got out. He seemed more confused at Jay's reaction than anything else. He didn't. Here me out on this:

Entry 77:

Jay goes to 76 South Creek Road. It turns out to be Alex's original place (the one we see the operator in the first entry since Entry 1). First couple of minutes nothing goes on, just Jay walking about the house looking for, well, anything. Suddenly the screen gets all messed up and glitchy, and we see Alex appear then the screen goes to normal again (with a slight audio distortion). There's some arguing, shouting, but the two appear calm a couple minutes later. The camera is placed down and we see both Alex and Jay in the same frame. Audio is now heavily distorted, so we only hear about half of what their actually saying. A few minutes after the conversation is done, they both get up, Jay grabs the camera and walks out of the house. He looks back towards the door to see Alex standing there with The Operator standing on the front porch infront of him. Jay calmly walks into his car, sets it on the dash (so we are still seeing the operator), and starts to drive away.

I know this is wild, but Alex never had a reason to hate or make Jay an enemy. For whatever reason, he was targeting Jessica directly. Of course Jay isn't too enthusiastic about the team up (or the discoveries he made), but goes along with it cause he has no one else to trust. The Operator is now on Jay's side as well as Alex's. Maybe not directly, but I bet he won't be a Hindrance to Jay anymore (similar to how Alex is with him now).

Hmmm...I doubt this will happen. Jay felt awful about what happened to Jessica and - I think he's more in a state of mind of: fuck everything. Jay might have many failings, but not caring enough about people is not one of them (he pretty much gave up his life to find out what happened to Alex and risked life and limb before that and knowing Jessica was in danger because of him messed him up badly)

Maybe he'll try and see if he can find anything out on his own, but I think we're going to see him give up and just wait it out until The Operator comes for him (IF The Operator will come in) until something gives him hope.

Maybe he'll have to join forces with Tim again due to circumstances (being targeted by The Operator) by any sense of comradeship is now gone until they can build up the trust or someone else from the set will emerge...Brain or Seth or a new character who can assist Jay (we don't know how long this season, so they have enough time to establish and develop a new character)

Hell, I'd just love it if Jay has broken into someone's holiday home or house while their away and is residing their while trying to figure out what to do next. He's watching TV or something, the door opens, to reveal...Sarah or Brian who's come to check on her parent's home while their away or something like that, just for the mindfuck.

I know it's only been like a little over a week since the last entry but I'm dying for any new info of some sort. A tweet, a TTA, a new entry, anything. I mean, how long is Hoodie going to keep Alex hostage, or vice versa?

Well, it is possible that Entry #77 will actually be an entry filmed by Tim going to the lodge and the footage will be posted by Alex (maybe on a new channel?) and Jay will have no choice but to come to his aid. Subsquent entries might lead Jay to attempt to trust Tim again, but the audience is left somewhat unsure about Tim's overall motives and then something will happen throughout this development to keep it fresh for the audience.

I know there's been arguements about this before, but I don't think we're meant to take the laspes between entries in real time seriously unless their otherwise been referenced to by Jay unless an entry specifically refers to it (Entry #18.5 for instance).

And now I'm picturing Hoody and Alex in an The Odd Couple style sitcom together "Bonded together! By friendship and stolkholm syndrome!" with Alex's whacky friend The Operator making occasional apperances Smile

You saying that about Hoody can't be Jay and when he sees Hoody it's just his imagination, I was like the camera wouldn't pick it up then. And then I was like oh wait, there's a movie called Shrooms that does that

The differance between Shrooms and marble hornets is that Shrooms was filmed as if there was no camera and is a strict work of fiction, with all the footage being collected behind the 4th wall.

Marble hornets follows the found footage method, in which its filmed as if everything we see is everything the characters have recorded on a video camera, giving us a direct feed to the characters and what they themselves have seen, rather than seeing their lives through a looking glass (so to speak).

So, unless they go the route of Hoody being a Tupla (please god I hope not) in the same way as many people think the operator is, then its safe to assume that Hoody is a human being and not a figment of one of the characters imagination.
