Here's what I think happened:
Slender Man distorts the video (the first few seconds of the entry) and cuts out the audio (when Alex turns on the lights, you can hear a lot of background noise). He sneaks slowly into the room and hides somewhere into the corner. As he's hiding, he hits Alex, waking him up and causing him to start bleeding. Alex wonders why his door is open and goes to close it, then goes back to bed.

32 minutes later, Alex appears to be in a trance waiting to change the tape. I don't think he realizes he is covered in blood, otherwise he would have cleaned it off. He is either traumatized or is under Slender Man's hypnotic control. Option 2 could explain why Alex is filming himself. If he is routinely hypnotized by Slender Man, then he needs a long-term way to keep track of his interactions with Slender Man (since he can't trust his memory).

Glad J is going to start the search for Alex. I have a feeling Entries 1-14 have set the stage for something really good. Still, would anyone go to a Marble Hornets event if you knew the Slender Man was lurking around?

I dunno if anyone caught my edit above, and it's probably just grasping at nothing, but:

I'm re-watching the videos to get back into the mindset, and in the introduction, J says that it's been "after three years and zero contact"... maybe I'm grasping at straws, but zero = 0 = operator?

Also.

I'm about to delve into the technical editing stuff, but my best guess would be that all the "visual" aka "digital" tearing we're seeing is put there on purpose. It's way too perfect: almost as if the bottom sections are replaced with other footage, but nothing too jarring like putting something from 7 tapes away.

I'll try and show you guys examples of the tearing I'm used to VS what's going on here.

That's an intriguing idea! Maybe if the sections are put together in the right way something new will show up that's not apparent while they're separate. Seems tricky though. I noticed in Entry #14 at the very beginning that there is another tear that begins at the bottom then climbs up to about 2/5ths of the way up before disappearing so they don't stay in the same place. In that instance it really looks like it's 'rolling' off the top of the frame and up the bottom. I dunno, but I think you're probably right when you say the quality of the tearing is different than what you've seen before. Would verify my theory that this isn't normal distortion caused by an encoding buffer overrun.

You know, it's possible this tape is late in the game, and Alex was just willing attack SM, and he recorded the result. This could be why he moved and decided to stop Marble Hornets

Is @itmustbedone IG?

For right now, we have to assume that itmustbedone is just a gamejack.

Is anyone here good with morse code? I for one know that I'm terrible with it. Well, you know how nobody has figured out what Deluge was about, I have a pretty good theory of figuring it out.

To me, I see a flickering florescence light. To me, I hear someone saying "Alexxx", but reversed. Well, when I added some visual darkening, and some contrast, the light was flickering in a morse code fashion that you'd see two old surfaced submarines using. (Saw that in some movie. They used giant spotlights with slats on the front of them.) Well, in the Deluge thread, I posted my video. Currently, I can't find anyway of slowing it down past 1/2. I can almost GUARANTEE that it is Morse code in the video.

So please, if you can do Morse code, do this for the us.
