blueshoe77's "8:10" video
A very famillar location.

Found on SA's investigation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rVRjohHFbE

Looks like he's walking very carefully, hugging walls and filming very peculiarity to be a "Hey, look what I found" kind of video.

Add to the fact that this is his only video, he joined the day before he posted it, and that he's being very cryptic, and you've got a candidate for a new part of this ARG.

I mean, what are the chances of knowing exactly where this rundown school in the middle of the woods is, let alone the relatively small marked out X on the pavement?

Someone also posted this on SA:

Ecclesiastes 8:10 : "So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out from the holy place, and they are soon forgotten in the city where they did thus. This too is futility."

I have seen the wicked buried

A piece of poured concrete with a slightly rounded top, as if it were almost hastily done. Almost makes me wonder if it was supposed to be a marker for a possible gravesite when I first saw it.

Is this where that 8:10 thing came from? It...

oh shit, it is the same building as Entry #13. Crazy @_@

That said, it looks to blatant for me to take seriously. If J acknowledges it then I'll look into it, otherwise I'll just pass it off as a fan vid.

Has anyone contacted J yet? it might be worth alerting him to it to see if he reacts.

My vote is that this is IG and meant to give us perspective for Entry 13 and totheark's EXIT clip.

Looking at the set-up of the area, I now think that Alex is quite capable of being totheark and filming J at the car.

I contacted J a little earlier. Still waiting on a reply.

Possibly something like...
"I don't know who that that is. Definitely seems like the same spot, though."

fair enough. in that case, i wouldn't base anything off of that unless it's confirmed(however that may be) by J himself.

i'm conflicted though, cause it seems to fit. in the intro he said alex's house was 'less than a mile away from his house.' which is where the unworkable conditions were.

Eeeeehh, I'm a bit touchy on this video; I'm fairly certain that the Operator symbol wasn't that close to the building.

Also, him hugging the walls was meant to show Alex's perspective as he ran around...

The Operator thing is the only bit that makes it OoG; It's certainly the same place, but like I've stated before, real-world geography does not readily equate to In-Game geography.

I think that the location of the operator symbol in entry 13 and in 8:10 could fit together. They're just filmed from different point of view.

Btw, has anyone noticed the new video from blueshoe77?
It's called best wishes.
and it's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjKPJ0zfzHY

To me it looks just like a poor attempt at being spooky and copying the MH style.
I may be wrong, though...

Speeding up the audio x4 reveals the sound is just some dude jamming on his electric guitar. Really terrible video.

If it is IG, then maybe it is some song? And maybe that song will prove to be significant?

Dunno what to make of it, for now i'm assuming it's a copycat who just knew the location for entry 13, but if it is IG:

8:10- seems to be retracing Alex's path. From this vid, I'd assume some sort of detective or SM hunter investigating Alex's run-in.

Best wishes- totally different style from 8:10, kinda kills my theory there. shares totheark's preoccupation with water.

Also, in the context of the Ecclesiastes quote, the title implies this location is his grave. While this indicates killing him would be futile, as he quite obviously came back, it also implies he can be defeated, since he stayed dead long enough to be buried.

I'm new to this forum and ARGs in general, so please don't beat me up for not knowing what I'm doing.
