It would seem, as others have pointed out, that Tim probably found the MH video feed and watched them in reverse order as they come up on the Youtube playlist. And it would seem he never got as far as #32, or at least didn't watch it all the way through, because he says of Jessica, "As far as I can tell, she was doing just fine before she met you" -- but in #32, Jessica said that she was having recurring dreams (apparently recovered memories) of "something watching {her} when she was a child. So it's highly likely, at least in my view, that Jessica's involvement began long before she met Jay.

Hence my theory that they were all kids back in Rosswood town and TO stalked them all. Something happened, they all moved away except for Tim, and TO didn't bother them again until Alex started making his crappy and pretentious student film.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

After something someone said earlier about Jay's memory loss, is it not unreasonable to say that the spaces of time between the entries is due to Jay's memory loss?

Whilst he may think he's doing pretty regular updates, it actually turns out that he loses days of his memory somehow which, as someone has theorised, he does TTA things.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed like a good theory at the time considering Jay's comment about the hospital event being "a few days ago"
though;

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I know that the long spaces between updates is due to OOG things.

Nice entry! I want a TTA video, maybe we can discover his/her.. or their identity, or not, IDK. Maybe just a clue. <_<

Tim is a good actor.

When Tim said "Who's Jessica? Some girl you met at a hotel or something?" my first thought was, "how ironic". My second thought was, "Oh. Right."

Maybe the reason we're not currently seeing the Operator in real-time is because he's focusing his attention on someone else. Alex again? Wherever he is, we can be almost certain that he's alive. But with Tim suddenly being dragged back into things it's possible the focus will shift. I mean, shit didn't start happening to Jay until he rediscovered the tapes.

I'm not sure why people think that Operator has gone somewhere else. Both Tim and Jay are showing signs of slendersickness, which implies that the Operator is still around somewhere, just not being picked up on camera. Or is slendersickness caused by something other than exposure to the Operator? (For example, if the Operator hangs around the hospital for a bit does he leave a slender aura that makes people sick? A slendaura, if you will.)

Jay is showing really no signs, and Tim is really only showing signs of coughing but keep in mind they show him smoking cigarettes for a reason, could be a total red herring.

Anyone else notice how prominently Tim brought up Jessica, but not one mention of Amy?

I didn't think anything of this. This is about Tim's problem with Jay, not Alex.

Entry 60 will begin with the white text:

"I need to rethink my life."

The entry will then be a montage of scenes where Jay stands in serene locations and stares into the middle distance while Enya music plays in the background.


i.e. What the original "Marble Hornets" film seemed to almost exclusively consist of. Haha.


PFFFF XD

Troy really should do this, even if just as an "alternate ending" self-parody.

On 20th May he said on Twitter that he'd been feeling very sick since coming back from the hospital. Linky. At the hospital Tim kept putting his hand to his forehead, suggesting headaches or at least lack of sleep.

So I have a theory. I think (ok, more like hoping) that Tim is lying about losing time. To be fair, Jay is showing many of Alex's pre-murderous slendy symptoms. It seems he's more interested in TO rather than any of the kidnappings. My theory is that Alex became a puppet for TO after becoming obsessed and Jay is going down the same road. If Tim knew about Alex's filming everything habits and obsession with TO, it wouldn't be to farfetched to think that Jay is doing the same thing. I mean a guy films everything he does, takes you to an abandoned building and beats you over the head with a pipe. Now another guy, who is also filming everything, takes you to the same building and chases off the only eye witness? I'd be pretty pissed. I want Tim to try and steer Jay away from the Alex path and join him and Hoody on the fight against TO and Alex.

And come on, am I the only one that's hoping for an entry where Tim as Masky and Hoody confront Jay and hand him a mask without saying a word. Than a text box with "The time for investigating is over. It's time for action."

I wonder if Tim will keep watching new videos. Maybe he'll be pissed off that Jay uploaded this.

Tim still has his job in entry 58. 3 weeks later when 59 is posted he doesn't (which he says). This implies that something happened at the hospital to re-enstate tim's sickness. Tim has had a job since 53 which was posted in march so it's implied that Tim just started having problems again. But considering there was no visual tear signifying teleportation, either the operator was there the whole time hiding (unlikely), hoody was the one who made tim start coughing, or the location itself was. But why would Jay not be coughing?

I think Tim is mad at Jay for not trusting him, but really, Tim was the one that started in with Jay in entry 19. He lures jay away and then ends up near the operator in return. Jay didn't "bring tim back into things" with the interview, words can't enstate a psychosis spell. If anything Tim dragged Jay into it. So yeah, this most likely is just temporary anger that Tim will have to get over now that he's going to start having trouble again.

Anyone else feel like the things Tim was saying to Jay had a subtle TTA vibe to them? Sort of mocking Jay while telling him he isn't helping anyone.

Also I hope the next entry uses that room with the crazy shadows and the chair that troy tweeted about once, and I hope hoody gets tied up in that chair.

Part of me also wants jay to just come to his senses, make his own mask, and go to the maintnence tunnel during the day by himself with a flashlight. There's really nothing for him to fear at the hospital that he shouldn't be fearing anywhere else: the operator obviously latches onto people and not locations shown by entry 52, so if he wanted to find Jay he could do it in his own house.

It didn't garner much attention due to either fresh-entry hype or lack of interest, but I briefly speculated earlier that following the interview from #15 it's possible Tim did the exact same thing that he did prior to #59 - perform a search for "Marble Hornets" after finding Jay's behavior kind of sketchy (i.e. asking questions that weren't remotely pertinent to the film about a "guy in a suit"), thus bringing back the problems that he thought he'd gotten over. It's still debatable over whether that's Jay's fault, but he'd be as responsible then as he is now.

On a semi-related/OOG note,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm digging how the guys have managed to stir up discussion about character responsibility and who's really at fault with this entry. New videos tend to bring lots of speculation, but in my experience it's usually of a different nature than that which has been made in this thread. Regardless of whether that continues, hopefully this will be an interesting turning point in the season.

Interesting.

You know. Another explanation for Tim being two weeks off, is that this entry could have be recorded earlier than we think.

I mean there is a rather interesting gap in the tweets between May 22 and Jun 7 around the time that the events in the entry would have been recorded if it really was a week or so after the trip to the buildings.

Plus the tweet on May 22 seems to be the same train of thought Jay was on at the beginning of this entry. Maybe Jay withheld the tape for a while due to shame or something. After the events of this entry, it would take me a while to recover from everything. I certainly wouldn't have post the entry the next day.

The tweets that lead up to the video post were Jay just trying to cover up the self doubt, confusion, and rethinking he had did. Trying to make things seem normal or even to get himself moving again.
