As murky as the video is, given what we know it seems fairly logical to me to assume that the place Alex is is his apartment -- the place HE lived, as opposed to Amy and Jessica's place.

This is because he SAID he woke up in his apartment after he and Amy went out the window and found himself wearing the chestcam.

In the previous entry, Alex doesn't seem to have a key to Jessica and Amy's, as he knocks on the door. Alex is many things, but he's never seemed to be as herp derp as all of that.

The apartment (or at least the bedroom) is full of boxes -- substantiating the theory that Alex was moving in with Amy and Jessica -- hence the reason he was at the apartment on his laptop and fairly comfortable stretched out on the couch, but why he seemed so surprised and taken aback by the appearance of the video camera, as well as Amy's confusion about the camera's appearance. (Alex thought it was hers, Amy thought it was from the collection of things Alex was in the process of moving in.) I don't recall Amy's place being full of boxes.

It's Alex's apartment, which is full of boxes because he was in the process of moving in with his girlfriend, Amy.

Which is what I said several entries ago.

Theories are all well and good, but I really feel like the time for theories is coming to an end -- we're being shown the way now. And though it is fun to keep the boredom at bay between entries by guessing -- things are probably MUCH less outlandish than we think.

Also, from an OOG perspective:

Occam's razor does not mean the simplest answer is right. It means, all things equal, the answer with the fewest assumptions and jestifications tends to be correct. It is a generalization of the highest degree, and does not make something fact or is it a logical proof.

It's like a more practical version of the Sherlock Holmes quote, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Except that statement assumes you have all the pertinent information. In the real world, there may be facts that make something previously thought to be impossible, possible. That is when you utilize Occam's Shaving Tool to chip away at the unlikely, leaving the most probable solution. No guarantee it is correct.

It also means you shouldn't just add random shit to your explanation of something just because. You should only add if circumstances necessitate the addition. Say I did the dishes at my house. My one housemate comes home and sees the third housemate coming out of the kitchen drying his hands. It would be safe to assume (using Occam's Razor) he did the dishes, when in reality, he had just come home from work and just didn't want to go all the way to the bathroom to clean his hands. I actually did the dishes before leaving for work. Not always correct.

And concerning Marble Hornets, we have to accept that we don't know everything. We know a small portion of what has, is, and will happen. There are supernatural things happening that we don't yet understand. May never understand IG. We can't throw out seemingly wild speculation just because it seems unlikely. It could be true. And that is really the point of this Forum. Theorizing, discussing and trying to understand. Not every idea will be gold, but that doesn't mean you have to misuse a term used in House (that may not be where you learned the term, but I bet that is where a good portion learned it due to the House/Holmes parallels... I'm not getting into that now) to put people down.

TLDR Shut up, stop ruining our fun. Please?

Also. Puppies.

So it seems as if the operator symbol summons slendy. SO. Think back to the first time Alex encounters the operator, while filming near the red tower, the red tower that has an operator symbol etched into it or painted or whatever. Now it's impossible to know how long that mark has been there, but it is entirely possible that another cast member of marble hornets summoned the operator that fateful day.
