Ever since they confirmed 38 wasn't an origin story, I just take it as a way for Alex to motivate Jay to follow him into the woods. After entry 40 happened Jay most likely wouldn't want to go in. Alex tells Jay that he has something to tell him, then as they're walking he tells the story to maybe hint to Jay that he can help Jay with all of his problems. This will get Jay to follow him deeper in where he can do the killing.

That seems counter productive though. Jay already had reason enough to come into the woods with Alex, because they were already there going pretty deep in (Alex even warned Jay beforehand), and it wasn't until after the story that Jay got spooked and decided to leave.

Yeah, but I'm saying that Alex's story didn't do anything to make Jay want to follow him more, at least as far as we can see. And if someone's scared to go into a forest because they just encountered a faceless business man, you don't freak them out with a spooky story. Jay doesn't even react to the story/show any understanding of it as a reference to The Operator except to discount it as a spooky ghost story (but he might just trying to be laugh off his fear).

Also, he's going through the tunnel while he's chasing Tim, then when he's shouting his "WHAT DO YOU WANT" spiel, Opnoises show up, he turns around to look back, then starts turning back around when vid cuts out, and he's sitting on the ground before he starts heading back. You can KIND OF see the puddle when he turns around to look back, that's the side he came from. Then he looks back to the direction he's going before the video cuts, so I assume he went all the way through the tunnel, saw something, and started going back (to investigate Alex...).

There's chalk on the ground on the other side of the tunnel, where there's no puddle. It's also there when he's heading back. So yeah, it looks like he went all the way through before he sat down to rest. Or whatever.

And the chalk looks like it could be an Op symbol, but didn't get a good enough look to see properly. There's definitely a circle and at least one line going through it.

In any case, I'd say something Op-related happened on that side of the tunnel before he started heading back.

If that's the case, I would have wanted him to talk about the dead animals being dropped at his place or something, bring that stuff back up/maybe throw some relevant clarity onto things.

[elkapo]

That of dead animals in the garden only hear in the interview with Tim, right? I just think he was lying.

I live a pretty busy life - work, uni and TAFE take up a lot of my time, but am I the only one who doesn't feel all that impatient for a new entry? To be honest, it doesn't really seem all that long ago since entry #60.5 was uploaded and entry #60 before that.

Maybe it's just me.

When you're doing other shit, the wait seems shorter. That's why it seems longer to a lot of people, it's summer vacation, and I personally haven't been going outside that much because it's 100 degrees outside and I don't like fainting in the middle of the street.

No, that's kind of how I feel, too.

Over on the EMH thread, everyone was complaining about the hiatus. I was about to go, "What's the big deal, it's only been a few weeks?" until I checked & saw that it had been over a month since the last update was made, & it was non-video.

Still didn't see what the big deal was.
