On one hand I'm really digging the character details, and the fact I actually seem to know something about these characters other than 'weird stuff is happening to them'.

On the other hand, some of them drag on quite a ways. I didn't really need 2 minutes of drive thru ordering to get the point there, but I appreciate the effort they're putting in.

I'll definitely keep watching.

Also, my guess on the numbers on the first John Smith video is they are coordinates. Specifically, 27°37'21.9"N 82°16'12.6"W. That's in Florida, which I'm guessing this guy is from based on some of the scenes in his videos.

New video!

I really dig this proxy guy, his videos have a certain feel to them that I think just makes him stand out from your typical proxy character. We now can tell that this person is specifically after Alex, and seems to heavy a heavy interest in him to the point of stalking him. Also judging by the Alex's actions in the video, he seems to be getting increasingly paranoid which could lead to more mental decline.

As for what else the video has to offer in terms of clues, there were several points in the video where text appeared.

The first text is at 0:11 and reads, "Why haven't you visited?" in all caps. I assume they're talking about the location Kaliel discovered in his previous post. Whatever it is, John seems to really want Alex to go there.

The second text is at 0:20 in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and it reads "60".

The third text is at 0:35 and it reads, "20".

The fourth text is at 0:48 in the top right-hand corner and reads, "09".

The fifth text is at 0:53 at the bottom of the screen and reads, "I visited you!" in all caps.

The sixth and final text can be seen at exactly 1:00 into the video and it reads, "And I will visit you again", once again in all caps.

I believe these are all the texts that appeared, although if you see anymore please feel free to correct me. As for what the numbers mean, I'm not entirely sure. I'd like to think they were coordinates like in the other John Smith video, but there don't seem to be enough numbers. I tried other forms of decoding such as Hexidecimal and ACII, which these numbers most closely represented in terms of code, but I didn't come up with anything. This is all very strange indeed, perhaps these numbers link to a future John Smith video? Or perhaps a future Alex video? They could as well link to something in that location this proxy so desperately wants Alex to visit.

It doesn't hurt the feel that the lyrics are so creepy, too. It's "Happy Together" by the turtles.

Cutting of the quote at the moments it stops and starts in the video.

Ah, thanks for correcting me.

Given Alex has asked for any information a couple times now, I'm wondering if we haven't missed something he's hoping someone catches onto.

I went back to Unknown Sender 2, and there are nubmers and symbols that pop up in that video near the end. Oddly enough, except for 1 interval, they occur at perfect 15 second breaks in the video.


6:50 1, bottom right
7:05 15, bottom right
7:20 white square, upper left
7:35 nothing
7:50 16, bottom left
8:05 SLEEP!, bottom

These numbers, and the square, mean nothing to me. Just saving them here for posterity and smarter brains than I.

Okay, so it appears a bit has happened since the last entry:

There is at least one number that flashes in the john smith part but I don't have time too look in depth right now. I'll try later today.


There is something life affirming about seeing some random guy in Tunisia with an Assassins creed hat humming the imperial march from star wars. Nice to be reminded there are nuts like me all over the planet.

I like the group collaboration thing they have going on here. From an OOG perspective I'm not sure if this is him coordinating this or people just sending him 'hey I can do this too' videos and he's using them, but either way it's starting to grow on me.

Also, many, if not all, of Alex's friends have now created their own youtube accounts, and started commenting on each other's videos. It adds to the immersion that these people know each other and something global is happening to them. Nice touch.

Currently most of what they've posted is what's in Alex's update videos. But you can see the compounding of the video corruption they talk about comparing the two.

Bunch more threats. Nothing too interesting except for some numbers that appear upside down at around 0:36. I'll take a look at them when I have some time.

Looks like the account is hijacked

I'm glad it's back at least. This one has some promise and interesting ideas.
