I'm actually pretty convinced that the house in entry #16 is Alex's. Just because of a few things:

-J's Twitter post reading that it was "Brian's House" was deleted, leaving the location to be described as "where Brian could be located."

-The first name J calls out is indeed Alex's.

-There have been quite a few noted similarities between the houses in earlier entries and that of 16

-Alex's drawings are found in the house (J's explanation confirms them as Alex's)

-And this is just speculation, but I think the reason that J acted so confidently and quickly after hearing an "anonymous tip" (surely, a doubtful source of info) was because he recognized the address as Alex's, and found it way to big of a coincidence to be meaningless.

And then I've got another theory where in a lot of entries that don't give the cameraman a positive I.D., it's actually Brian. But I don't give that much credit.

Tl;dr: Someone (TTA?) gave J Alex's address and said Brian could be found there.

You know, I was about to make some comments, but I realized that J never said that Alex moved away, he said he simply transferred schools- as is stated in the introduction.

I feel that one aspect of the timeline that is overlooked is what happens after the tapes. Alex doesn't seem to be in the self-narration business, he simply records. So there would be no last tape, with Alex stating that he's giving up, etc. He would simply decide to stop recording. Why would he suddenly stop recording? I mean, he obviously wanted a record of whatever. So, he stops recording, is about to destroy the tapes, and switches schools.

My interpretation of this is that Alex achieved some kind of closure on this whole thing, whatever it may be. I also feel like it may be directly related to people he knows, on account of him switching schools.

I'm in several camps, but this one kind of reaffirms my belief in SM being passed off to people. What if Alex did pass it off to Brian, and then left Brian out to hang, and switched schools to try and get away from the guilt?

...man, it sounds good, but too many holes. Like why there would be drawings still tacked up in the house. I know J says they're Alex's, but that could just be a natural assumption, since there was footage of him drawing, but maybe they were Brian's... or Alex could've given them away, just like the tapes.

Yea, too many holes.

You guys are reading, but you're not listening. Which is INFINITELY harder to do when using a text-based communication medium.

Er, never mind.

Anyway, I still am unconvinced that this is Alex's house. There are entries that bare a certain resemblance to this, but we won't know unless J goes back and gives us a more detailed floor plan. However, in Entry 3, again, Alex is clearly in some kind of study or something, when he ignores that Cell Phone call. Just going off of the overall scheme of the room, it looks, at first glance, to be an entirely different building than the ones shown in later Entries.

So, I am unconvinced. I believe Alex left his home 3 years ago, staying in a house out in the woods, later joined by Brian. Alex left, Brian stayed.

Only one of them has gone insane.

Alex, last anyone heard from, was still within the tender grasp of sane thought, as J probably would have driven him to the nut house the day Entry 0 [Introduction] took place.

There's also the possibility that it may actually be the same house IRL, but inside the game its two different places (i.e., locations are limited by production values).

Its hard to come to any conclusion from what we have so far. 16 could possibly Alex's house, but its hard to tell because is this house just a "set" or is it in actuality the house Alex filmed himself in or both. J found (Alex) drawings in the room, found the blood from the room that Alex filmed himself that could possibly connected to the entry 14.

Its hard to put the connections together without J's help.

The house (16)
- same house throughout Alex's tapings?
- same house from 14?
- or is it just a set in a set ( Alex's house + Not Alex's house)

What J found in 16:

Blood
- Is it blood from 14? (This house would be Alex's house or Alex's secret hide out house(if there even was such a thing)

Drawings ( J committed to its Alex's Drawings)
- Is it the drawings that Alex had hung up in his room? (This house would be Alex's house or Alex's secret hide out house)

Bullet Shell
- BRAND SPANKING NEW item that hasn't been connected to anything yet

BONE R S
- written in the utility room

Its so hard with the information we got to make a positive identification on which is and what is not right. Hell it all could be right or wrong. This house could be Alex's house, and Alex's super secret hideout (if that is even half true), and just a set due to "student film". So maybe its not all that important? Maybe all that is important is that J found "Alex's Drawings", "Blood", "Bullet Shell" and all we can do is just wait for the next video.

We are at the work of J, so all we can do is sit back and watch because so far in 100+ pages we haven't helped J with squat nor has he cared.

Oye, and I thought things were only getting tense in-game.

Personally, I think SM is really paranormal. Not only would it be one of the biggest letdowns in film history if he wasn't, but what reason would the cast and crew of Marble Hornets have to go to such lengths to scare Alex like that? Distort the tapes, stalk him everywhere, day and night, break into his house without making a sound.

I dunno. I think we just need more information is all.

I do enjoy the idea that because Alex was stalking SM at first, SM decided to start stalking Alex in return. A sort of, "Take that, bastard" move.

On another note, I think I passed a little rite of initiation with my first slender man dream. Something about sneaking around the city and getting messages from him. I didn't ever actually see him, though.

Actually, I already go about glancing at things that bear a passing resemblance to SM. But I really like the guy, so it doesn't exactly bother me.

I guess I'm pretty lucky he doesn't really scare me, 'cause my house is kind of surrounded by trees, even though I live in the city. Plus I live in the neighborhood "creepy house," the kind small children try to avoid, so...yeah. Eheh.

Yup, you're pretty much boned then.

On a lighter note, I hate the long periods of time like this one where there is absolutely zilcho new information and we have to wait what seems to be an eternity.

Can you tell me where you got that quote from? The Introduction video was never that detailed.

A post on the Something Awful forums.

Nice to see mention of The Ring.. Also interesting is Alex letting J view the tapes, but adamant that no one else does. I still think Alex was trying to pawn SM off to J.
