Don't know. I'm sure one of these days you'll try it.

As for the entry: they put one out a week. It is the pattern. This is not a new thing, gentlemen, ladies, and everyone else. This is something that's been going on roughly a year now.


lol no

some entries took 2-4 weeks to come out, including this one

I have heard that Troy has said there should be a more regular release time for this season than in previous seasons. The reason this entry took two weeks from the time of the last one is because we've been getting TTA videos in between entries.

First we got Entry 53.

Next we got Reminder.

Then we got Entry 54.

The week after we got Decay.

This past week we got Entry 55.

I'm expecting a TTA video this week, as per the pre-established pattern I have listed above.

Troy has stated that he's going to be out of town this week working on another project. I think he'll probably take a break from the story until that's done.

Well, one does have to pay the bills. Smile But he might still upload a TTA video. From his comments on the DVD commentary, he's pretty quick with those.

I'm going to argue that Entry 2 is the first entry chronologically period but I suppose we'll have to wait to see where everything falls chronologically.


I respectfully disagree on the grounds of enttry #37. [/trollface]

I'm actually expecting a THAC entry as being next, since we'll have a longer period of time before Trosephimrian are back. Also, I think these entries are still the "buffer" entries that the team filmed during the mid-season down time. Which makes sense since these are the "Tim Tapes" which would reasonably feature Brian/Seth/Sarah*. We probably only have one or two more of these before we go back to "present day" investigation. I'd guess only one and a TTA.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
*Sarah appears in the AKMH Trailer on the season 2 DVD** - with footage likely taken from these shoots (the bit in Entry 55 with the pool fence is specifically seen) - which seem to have been filmed during the holiday/Spring Break periods when people would have been available for short shoots

** Or on youtube, where someone put it recently.

To be fair, he is suffering from paranoia at the moment. If he was recently stalked by slendy and didn't get hit with memory loss that could explain why he's nervous.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Or he's luring Alex to a death trap him and Hoodie made. For all we know they could've planned for TO to attack Alex there and it just backfired on them...


I'm sure you were aware of this as you were posting, but that is a huge exaggeration. XD My friend *did* point out that Tim's voice seemed a little shakey as he was talking, but we both agreed afterward that it was probably a result of the camera's audio quality. What's more, I think suggesting that Tim's stammering every so often or saying "um" in between words means he's ungodly nervous about something is kind of unfair, because...that's how people talk. To be even more technical, that was likely just OOG's way of making his character sound natuarl.

...So...yeah, I don't know. I don't think I've ever been so confused with this entire thing until now, believe it or not. I can't shake the feeling that Tim really wasn't planning anything evil or spectacular by suggesting the hospital, even more so when it was indicated this was before his first transformation into Masky. Nevertheless, I also don't believe that Alex "fed" him to Slendy while he was there...maybe Brian, but not Tim. And I don't think that going to the hospital "rekindled" Slendy's interest in Alex, either...it just doesn't seem probable to me that he stalked him for a little while, then decided to stalk Tim instead, and then got reminded of Alex courtesy of Tim and said, "Ohey, that guy! I'll think I'll stalk him again!"

So. I just. I really don't know any more. :/

They also made a scary as shit totheark entry as well. It's not like they aren't doing anything. Plus wasn't there something about Brian still being in school? That might also make it difficult to shoot.



thetotheark video was mostly old footage. probably took longer to make than the entry itself but still... two weeks! and now we have another 2+ week long break til the next one ugh

Meh, you waited 7 months between entry 26 and entry 27. Then you waited over a month for entry 52. Then you waited several more months for season 3 to start. Razz

You know the drill. Hurry up and wait. Razz

 		I got into Marble Hornets by late last month when Entry #54 was posted, so unfortunately, I feel nobody's pain here, yet. I mean I *did* have a body-wracking spazz attack when Entry #55 got posted so that's not to say I wasn't dreadfully anticipating it, but I would have surely died if I had to wait seven months between entries. Guh.

At least Troy has maintained his devotion to this project since 2009, though. It could have ended up like 90% of all fanfictions: incomplete.

 		This is completely unimportant, but I read through the thread while exhausted and sleep-deprived with a tint of insomnia thrown in, and I kept reading "slendysickness" as "tastykakeness." Don't ask me why, I don't know how I got that out of that. Nonetheless, it made for an amusing read. I constantly imagined the cast of MH as Butterscotch Krimpets.

 		TLDR? Skip to the end.
Before I begin, let me start with this: I could potentially be wrong about a number of things I'm about to talk about. If you feel this is the case, reply + provide evidence, and I'll gladly reconsider/rewrite whatever happens to be in question.

ALSO I don't particularly feel like going through all this and adding spoiler tags where appropriate, so if you aren't caught up and don't like spoilers, then don't read this. Simple.

I find it strange that only a couple of people have brought up Seth and Entry #22.

First, though, let's get rid of a couple misconceptions people seem to be having, and make a couple of points. I apologise in advance for how long this is going to be.

------------------------------

1: Assuming that this is the "burned out hospital" Tim was talking about, which is likely, WE STILL DON'T KNOW THAT ENTRY #51 OCCURRED ON THE SATURDAY THAT THEY AGREED ON IN ENTRY #55, or even that it happened that week. If you have evidence that proves otherwise, I'd love to see it. Seriously, that would be kind of important.

2: I'd like to remind everyone that anything any of the characters say at any time may or may not be true, and to take words as indications rather than evidence.

3: Brian did not ask how Alex found the "burned out hospital". The actual dialogue went like this:

Brian: "So... What is this place?"

Alex: "Uh... I think it was like an old doctor's office or something. Uh, when Seth and I were out here yesterday, we found it and thought it looked cool, so I figured we should come here and get some shots."

This means that Brian may, potentially, still remember the conversation from Entry #55, since he wasn't asking a question he already knew the answer to. That being said, the fact that he doesn't react to Alex's comment that he and Seth "found it" does still put memory loss on the radar for Brian, as well as the fact that Alex thought he needed to provide that information. This brings up an interesting point, though: is it possible that Brian experienced memory loss, and then Alex lied to him knowing that Brian had been mindwiped and would fall for it? That could hold some interesting implications, for sure.

4: People keep talking about the "burned out hospital" as though it had literally burned down. Yes, the place looks pretty torn up, but to me it looks more like it's just been abandoned and has been exposed to the elements for quite some time. I'm no expert, but I don't see any kind of scorching or other indications that it was actually burned, rather than experiencing some other fate.

5: Entry #13 @ 0:35. That's Alex filming. Think about it.

6: Entry #22 @ 5:57: "Seth's camera is gone." --> So did Seth have tapes, too? Why does everyone have tapes...

7: I went back and watched Entry #32 again for the first time in a long while. It now seems very likely that Hoodie is Jessica. (Not sure if this has been the general consensus or not, I haven't read enough of UF to know if we've covered this yet).

---------------------------
Now, back to Seth and Entry #22.

It's really hard to tell, given the quality of the entry, but it would seem like the building that Alex and Seth are exploring in Entry #22 shares some similarities in appearance to the "burned out hospital" in Entry #51. If this is the same building, then some interesting shit is going down.

Assuming that it's the same building:

Regardless of the order in which things happened, a couple of things become clear:

Someone wanted to bring everyone involved with MH to this building. At the very least, to bring them all to one place, so that TO could do whatever it is that he does with people. Whether it was TO manipulating everyone, or whether it was Alex, or Tim, or anyone else... That much we can't say for sure.

TO has some connection to the building.

At the very least, we know that Alex, Brian, Tim, and Seth have all been to this place, and something has happened with each of them there. It's probable that the others were also brought here, or at the very least they were "dealt" with in a similar fashion to Brian and Seth(?).

It's hard to say for sure what happened to Tim there, but we know that he later became Masky, possibly as a result of whatever it was. We also know he was in the room when TO showed up, but didn't share Brian's fate for some reason. Other than that, it's pretty unclear.

Brian is probably dead. It looks pretty obvious in Entry #51 that he's unconscious while being dragged offscreen, and the human brain can normally only survive a few minutes in that state. Even a shorter period of time would cause serious brain damage. In all likelihood, Brian is done. Strangely, though, I was unable to spot his body anywhere after he's dragged offscreen - so what exactly happened to him may still be something of a mystery. But I still hold to the idea that he is almost certainly dead, unless someone can prove otherwise.

Whatever happened to Alex, it either set him off, or was a product of his pre-existing SlenderCrazy. It probably wasn't the initial set-off, what with Entry #12 and all. Like with Tim, though, it's still not entirely clear.

As far as I can tell, TO doesn't show up onscreen in Entry #22. We do, however, get all that telltale distortion, so it's entirely likely that TO was there anyways. The way Alex says Seth's name after he's hit by whatever it is implies that Alex didn't know for sure what was going to happen, or what was happening. Perhaps this indicates that Seth was the first to experience this fate, putting Entry #22 before Entry #51. This would also fit with Alex's comments regarding being at the building with Seth the day before Entry #51.

---------------------
Other stuff

I think many of us agree that Tim sounds at least a little nervous when he brings up the building. There's been speculation that he has some kind of a past with this place. I think it's entirely possible, given his mental issues and the apparent connection between TO and the building. Whether Tim remembers or not, if he has a history with this building, then I think it's entirely reasonable that he'd feel uncomfortable bringing it up.

Ok, seriously, it's been bugging me forever, what is with Brian at 2:05-2:22 of Entry #51? (NOT 55, thanks to pravado for pointing out my typo) I don't know why that clip was added, and it leaves a hole in the conversation between Brian and Alex that bothers me. Is it possible that Brian is privy to something that got purposely excluded or deleted? Is Brian just acting, or is he acting as though he's there to act? WHY IS THAT CLIP IN THERE? ...it's entirely possible that I'm just overthinking it, butseriouslywtf.

-----------------------------
TLDR? Here's a summary:

Entry #51 might not have been on the Saturday.
Stop assuming that people aren't lying/misinformed.
Brian never asked how the building was found.
The "burned out building" may not have actually burned.
Hoodie is probably Jessica.
Seth may have had more tapes. These might be around somewhere.

Entry #22 may have been in the "burned out building", in which case:
TO and the building have a connection.
Someone was bringing the MH cast/crew to that place for TO.
Alex, Tim, Brian, and Seth have each had something happen to them there, over the course of a couple days.
The others probably went there, too, but this is uncertain.
We don't know what's up with Tim and TO, but something is.
Brian is probably dead.
Seth might be dead, but either way he was probably the first to go to this place with Alex.

Regardless of Entry #22:
Tim probably has a connection to the building.
Tim probably had a connection to TO before Alex did.

It is highly unlikely, but Brian might actually have been better informed than we've been led to believe. (DUNNN DUNNN DUNNNNNN... yeah, probably not)

Basically, a whole crapload of "probably"s or "possibly"s. Such is MH. At least #55 cleared a couple things up on Tim.

...well, that only took me forever to write up.

 		Jessica can't be Hoody because:

- #52 would make no sense given the context of #45
- it's strongly implied she wasn't involved until Jay called her in #47, Hoody's first appearance was in #39

 		in 55 that part where brian walks over to the pool is probably for a scene they needed. the next part is them trying to film the next scene, not sure what the confusion is about

To be fair, the place not looking burned out could be a simple OOG thing. I mean, how's Troy supposed to get an authentic toasted Hospital building?

...Don't answer that. Shocked
