Heres my explanation as to why we have no new entry. The tape could be extremely long and have very few noteworthy things in it. I don't know how long these tapes can be, but if its over 4 hours, and 99 percent of it is random crap, J probably would get bored watching it.


I have a very similar camera.

A mini DV tape for a camera like his only holds 60 minutes worth of footage on it.

Oh yeah, that prediction is awesome.

One thing though. The Operator doesn't actually give Alex the physical tape, does he? I'm assuming The Operator took Alex to the place where Amy is, in another dimension or something, and Alex films the contents of that tape with his camera.

There's actually a bit of evidence to back this whole prediction up though.

Entry #43 - Alex confronts the Operator at the end. He goes to this "other place" and sees Amy for the first time since her disappearance. He either doesn't record it with his chestcam, or he moves the file off the chestcam's hard drive before Jay acquires it. Maybe he wanted a hard copy (a tape) of visiting Amy. Maybe digital equipment simply doesn't work in the Operator's realm.

Entry #44 - Alex returns from his first visit. He calls Jessica and tells her that he "got in touch with Amy." The Operator takes him again at the end, but without his chest camera. Maybe he's holding his handheld camera when he goes to sleep? I dunno, but it's not important because he may have returned later when we didn't see it.

Entry #45 - This Entry begins being filmed through the chest camera. We see Alex switch his handheld camera's tapes, as if something important is on that first tape. That was probably the "56-42" tape, which he recorded in the "other place" sometime between Entry #44 and #45. The tape he put into his camera was the tape that he filmed the rest of Entry #45 with, when he chased after Hoody. Entry #45 is the only known time that Alex used his handheld camera this season, probably because it conveniently happened right after he filmed "56-42".

It all makes too much sense.

The only time I recall you getting pissed at me was when I asked you to fix your avatar because it broke the formatting, and you acted like a douche about it. So, go fuck yourself?

Seriously, not even a tweet to explain? It takes 15 seconds. I know Troy is busy, but this is ridiculous.

I have to agree with you there. I see him on Facebook pretty frequently, so I don't think updating us on the twitter would be too much to ask for. I'm sure he can think of something to tell us without revealing too much or any of the plot.

Exactly. Is it entirely believable for it to take this long to find a tape? No. But with proper explanation and justification, I can swallow that pill. If the next entry isn't ready yet, give the fanbase a clue as to why, at the very least.

Well, this delay is possibly intentional. Consider the possibilities:

-Jay has been taping himself 24 hours a day for seven months. That's a lot of tapes, only a fraction of which are relevant. Consider how long it took since Entry 38 for him to stumble across the rest of the tapes for that day in the most recent entry? They could just be making us wait because it IS plausible and to get us more excited for the next one.

-Jay doesn't HAVE the tape anymore. He got it in the lost seven months, but given the importance of it, and that Alex will certainly notice that it's missing, it's entirely plausible that it's he doesn't have it in the present. He's not gonna post anything to twitter until he's sure it's not in his possession.

-Something has happened to Jay since the posting of #50. I would think we'd get SOME indication fairly soon if this is the case, but it could go on for a little while, precisely because Jay's gotta get out of whatever pickle he's in before he gets back to the computer.

Good point, but if he was kidnapped by Masky, wouldn't we have some random cryptic messages on YouTube and twitter.

You read John Dies At

I want to have all of your babies.

all of them.


You can, cuz I sure ain't! Wink A few of us were discussing the "Bruce was erased from existence" theory (aka the Todd theory) and its similarity to JD@TE over in the Extraction thread a few days ago, hence my comment. I considered recommending JD@TE to my book club, but then pictured the soccer mom ladies reading that dicks-as-doorknobs scene and changed my mind. Laughing

Also the real John Cheese just got engaged through a Cracked article. It was awesome.

Not sure about this. If Jay was filming himself 24/7, why didn't he notice the that the camera had stopped in the tunnel (in #50) earlier? We have a 12 minute gap of time on that tape between the tunnel and the next day. To me that indicates that the camera stopped without Jay noticing. If he'd been filming 24/7, he would have noticed that and started the camera again sometime before the break-in the next day. We would've seen Jay brush his teeth, put on his pjs, etc. If present-Jay had merely edited that stuff out, would he say "I assume this was the next day" or whatever at the beginning of the break-in footage? He wouldn't assume it--he'd know it.

EDIT 2: Actually I was wrong. Just rewatched #50 and the break-in is NOT on the same tape as the tunnel footage. Jay says it's on the next tape. Still though, if he was filming himself 24/7, we're missing quite a bit of footage between the tunnel and the break-in.

The only reasons I could think of Troy OOG not being able to tweet even though he's on Facebook is...

1. I go on Facebook all the time, but it doesn't mean I'm using it. It's just open when I'm on the internet or even when I'm doing homework.

2. Tweeting for Marble Hornets is hard, I imagine. With the tweet, you automatically establish canon. So if you say the wrong thing, or let some information leak that you didn't mean to show yet, then things can go wrong very easily. So, he has to be careful with how much he tweets.

3. Or maybe he just doesn't feel like it.
