I think the sound everybody is hearing is just a fan running off camera in the apartment.

near the end of the recording, after he talks about randy, you hear some water sounds, i can't describe it accurately cause i've never been in water, but it really sounds like bubbles or deep pressure, i've heard it before tho


She moves her finger at that point, I think she's muffling the sound.


ahh, ok, i heard some scratching aswell, but i tossed that out after i heard she was crying, didn't know she moved her hand tho

i watched it again, her hand doesn't move much, and thats not what i was hearing, i may have to watch it with some headphones tomorrow, cause the sound i keep hearing keeps getting fainter each time i watch

You can turn the radiator on/off, but u either have to roast (on) or freeze (off)


or perhaps this is the beginning of the dreaded heat wave we noticed way back in the teaser trailer?
yeah it was warm last year... Too bad it's only 38 degrees right now... is this supposed to be our time, or their time?


Alternate reality, yo. Smile Methinks Tagruato speeds up global warming, because they just suck that much.
Okkkk.. they're confusing.. they do things on our date, but we have to remember we're in their world...

Actually it 'demuffles' right at the start, so I don't think it's at her end now.
Still sounds like some sort of muffling to me, he's not underwater Very Happy

Could Randy be Teddys' brother?

Nothing in MySpace except for:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=97078531
which has the last login as 2006, so it's not THE Randy Hanssen.

ok so a couple of thoughts/theories stemming from the new vid. jamie is a dumb bitch. that is first and foremost and just needed to be said. now on to the real thoughts.

1. in my opinion anyone from now on who tries to say that tidowave, tagruato, or slusho is oog is just fooling themselves.

2.this is not going to be the last J&T vid on that site. She will post a new one when randi contacts her, probably saying "sorry teddy, if you see this i love you and will help blah blah blah" (but at the same time i could just as easily see this as the end of J&T.com and the new vids coming from another ig site.)

3. I dont think that Teddy works in shipping for tagruato/slusho, but that he had the hat shipped to him, and than repackaged it with the extra goodies. i believe this because of how much tape was on the box, usually big companies don't use that much tape on out going packages, and it is usually clear packing tape not the brownish stuff that was on the box.

I will warn you now that is next part is pure theory and speculation going off of all we have so far as well as some things i have noticed. (bear in mind that i just saw the new vid like 20 minutes ago and my mind is still racing from it so this might seem to ramble a little bit.

So little bit of background that i am basing this on is something i saw with the teaser and the poster that kinda bugged me. assuming that everything in the poster and the teaser was exactly true down the the last detail, on the poster it appears as though the statue of liberty is the monster's initial entry point into the city, being that something that huge would have little to no resistance once it was in the city and thus have no reason to enter, go back out to sea, and re-enter somewhere else. However in the teaser when they are up on the roof if you watch closely in the background when the guy is saying "it was all shaking like tremors" you can see the statue of liberty in the background and then the camera pans over and the first huge explosion takes place in a completely different direction. thus leading me to believe that there is more than 1 big monster, one to cause the explosion the other to attack the statue of liberty.

So here is what i think. The evidence that was supposed to be frozen and not eaten is a piece of seabed's nectar or a piece of the monster, (but i am fully aware that those two things could be one in the same) I also feel that the monster is a parasite of sorts, and that once it is introduced to a certain environment (lenadia's mouth) after having been unfrozen for a certain period of time, it comes to life and regenerates and begins growing out of control, and the first roar we hear in the teaser is that monster calling out to the monster in the chuai station, or the monster in chuai station, having been woken up by tidowave fucking with tagruato calling out the piece of itself in NYC. than the one in nyc causes the explosion the bigger one from chuai hits the statue and carnage ensues. with other possibilities including that jamie and lena shared the special wonka bar of monstrosity and jamie explodes and becomes the first monster after leaving rob's party early because she didn't feel well, and then lena's little bundle of joy (impaired by the mass amounts of alcohol and bukakke berry slusho that he had consumed) doesn't burst out of her until later on in the movie.

Just my thoughts, let me know what you think.

I kept thinking it sounded like there were faint ocean waves in the background of the tape recording....maybe it has to do with one of the sites Teddy was at?

my take

Well this was kind of cool. Too bad Jaime keeps reinforcing what we all think already...she's a dumbass. But here are my thoughts on the tape and the comments made so far.

-Dec 9th date: I think she was given a date because Teddy and/or his group were going to do something on this day. He could either succeed (in which case he'd call her and tell her not to open the package at all and that he's coming home) or fail and there was no other choice but to trust Jaime with that evidence. At that point it NEEEDED to be frozen because there were things to come and they would need that evidence.

-Background noise: This is not a monster. The recorder just has natural compression, which raises the lowest volume and lowers the highest, so when he's not talking the background sounds get amplified. There's nothing there.

-Don't Eat / Evidence: This seems to obviously be some of that Seabed Nectar. As we've found out, this stuff needs to be cold. I also believe that the fan is an indication of a heatwave of sorts since the temp in the trailer is 63 degrees (I think) at night in NY mid January. Highly unlikely.

-What's to come: There are a few scenarios in which they could keep the ARG going. Either Jaime sobers up from her retarded/emotional spurt and decides to trust Teddy (before or after Randy calls her), or the next video is from someone new like Teddy (he may have escaped temporarily) or Randy or someone from TIDOwave. If it is a new video from Teddy he may show us something of whats happening on the station, maybe even a glimpse of the monster or the effects of seabed nectar/slusho.

I also have a personal thought that someone from Cloverfield roams these boards and it seems like they listen to some of our ideas on how to represent things in the ARG. That's very commendable and that is why they do such a good job at it.

Well, thats all I got. Here's hoping for JJ to gives us more. Sleep well UF. You too, Cloverfield dude(s). Cool

Keep in mind those vids were probably shot at the same time back in the summer. But would they be so careless to neglect that detail?

Okay, I'm trying to think of the timeline here:

Teddy leaves to infiltrate Tagruato after getting a job on the Chuai station.
He steals some of the Nectar and records the message, thinking that he's going to get caught.
He is able to make calls from the station, they appear to have pretty lax security at this point.
He sends the gift-wrapped package out from the station before they tighten their security after the 'incident'.
He's caught around the time that Jamie stops receiving messages from him, this I think is the 'incident'.
The Whistle Blower starts sending out pieces of the memo inside Slusho! orders.
I'm wondering if the Whistle Blower is Toshiro, Kazui's son-in-law who is rebelling against Tagruato after they killed his family.

Don't be surprised if there is. I've played a viral marketing game like this before, and they tend to put someone in each of the main forums about the subject to make sure we're on track.

So, if Teddy's on TidoWave's side, why'd he send the Slusho hat??? I initially thought it was to prove that he wasn't cheating on her, but that wouldn't make sense cause he would have just said it in teh tape (I don't know how she could still think he is cheating on her with a message that serious...Jamie's officially an idiot). Does anyone know who Randy is?

He sent the Slusho! hat because he had it. He probably decided to just send everything he could at that point.

Randy is one of the people who posts the TIDOWave updates.

Correct me if I am wrong,

But isn't Randy one of the people who posted the blogs on TIDOWave? (not the comments, but the blogs themselves)

Someone dug it up from the RSS feed. I believe they talk about it in the original TIDOWave thread.


OOPS, someone mentioned it before me... partly
