There is no "wifin'" at raves.
Raves are not that kind of party.

GOOD DAY SIR

Fortunately I've never been to one so I have no clue what precisely goes on, beyond drugs and extremely dumb looking outfits. Razz

Either way, I couldn't resist attempting the joke, knowing half the people on here would immediately put me on their hit lists. XD

What if TTA is addressing Amy? She's the one holding the camera in the first two clips. For all you people in the "Operator is attracted to cameras " bandwagon, this would make sense, as Amy was the one who found Alex's camera and didn't put it away.

Unlikely, but something to think about... for two seconds.

In Entry #49 the clips from the woods, and alex killing bruce are shown. But what Jay didn't show (but said) was the alex smashes a rock onto bruce's head 4 time. Another occurrence of 4? :3

EDIT: Also he whispers to himself in to woulds at someone to stop following him. "I know you're here. stop following me." or something like that.

There's a regular occurrence of "4" as a theme, although I'm not sure if it's directly affecting the plot or if it's something the creators just put in as a kind of extra thing. TV Tropes compiled a pretty good list of when "4" occurs in Marble Hornets: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebOriginal/MarbleHornets?from=Main.MarbleHornets

Look under "Four Is Death".

I hate to be the theory killjoy but it's particular that slendy shows up for 2 of his birthdays. 1 when he's only a toddler and the one at the beginning of the video. :/ To me, that points to Alex.

I'm well aware of that xD It just felt odd that a greater portion of clips for this video were taken from Entry #49 and Alex made sure Bruce was dead with 4 smashes. Just found it odd :p

This still begs the question of what Alex did that led to him being singled out and stalked (knowingly or not) throughout his whole life.

I mean, what he's done (murdering poor Bruce/Beardy/whatever, trying to kill Jay and Jessica, leading Brian to his death) has been unforgivable, but I still pity him. He's had an eldritch abomination watching him for a long time. No wonder he's gone batshit.

Ah okay. Smile

I just assumed the shot of Alex was to simply show "Look you just murdered the crap out of some random guy you bastard". XD

Also, Accela-I think that's the million dollar question to this series.

Something I've been wondering: Events to do with the Operator seem to be centered on the Rosswood area. But the stalking started where Marble Hornets was filmed, which seems to be a few days' drive from Rosswood. I wonder, when Alex mentioned "going back to his home" at the end of Entry 22, did that indicate he once lived in the Rosswood area? Or if not, did the Operator just move, well, operations from the woods in Alex's hometown to Rosswood? Then what's with the creepy stories about Rosswood?

And I've officially confused myself. Razz

Clearly, Alex at one point was homeless and lived in Rosswood Park. He started poaching on the Operator's favorite bunnies, which got said Operator pissed at him, and he started following him around. When Alex decided to make a rubbish college student film and shoot footage around the park, the Operator saw the chance to take revenge for those poached bunnies.

YES! It all makes sense now!

Was the toddler-age birthday his 4th?

(Also, completely without meaning, but... Marble Hornets is 4 syllables.)

No - there looks to be more than four candles on the cake in enttry #37. I think I counted six. However, his birthday is on the 4th of April (4th month), so I guess that's the main "four" link.

I'm not convinced in any direction yet as far as to whom the video is addressed. As far as I can tell, the rest of the TTA videos have been addressed to Jay, which makes me question why he would suddenly say something to Alex. Of course, we only have an assumption that all of the previous videos were actually messages to Jay. Could they have actually been for someone else?


I'm pretty sure that Fragments was also addressed to Alex: the message is "You are broken" over a torn-up photo of Alex. It would be strange for TTA to tell Jay that he himself is broken, and illustrate that with a destroyed picture of Alex.

Maybe TTA suspects that Alex is still watching Jay's entries on youtube (we know Alex knows about them due to his comment in Entry #52 about Jay sharing the tapes with "the world".) TTA might then think that Alex would also be aware of TTA's channel and is therefore addressing him?

Just out of curiosity- is that new footage from Entry 26?

In Decay, it looks like the Operator moves- near as I can tell, it seems like his silhouette moves in front of the light, but in 26 he definitely doesn't.
