I don't know about weeks; the in-game plan is to get moving within the week, and the OOG sources seem to indicate a quickening of the pace. I put the over/under at about 9 days, barring another external impediment to production. Let's try to be optimistic.

And if that doesn't work, just occupy the time with the thousands of other sources of free entertainment online.

You guys could just ignore Marble Hornets in-between entries, TTAs, and tweets, or wait until the season's over, etc. This is literally no different, besides amount of time, than waiting a week for a new episode of any other show. And they can't have every episode be a huge wham episode (or whatever the tropers call it). This isn't 24.

On-topic: anyone think there's something up with Jay lingering on the back of those trucks, or he's just nervous or something? He's the one who kept gradually pushing the two of them over there during the discussion.

Not that I make a habit of correcting people who are praising my brilliance, but the reason I was able to "predict" this argument is because I've basically already seen it. This was really a lot of the same stuff they said the first time they tried to team up.

Been lurking for a while now, taking this opportunity to come out from the shadows. Hello. So, to briefly recap and summarize, what have we learned from Entry #63?

* Jay and Tim are (finally) working together. How Masky will figure into this alliance: unknown.

* It's an uneasy alliance. It was made sure that we see the big "Liar" written on the folder when Jay hands over Tim's files. We are still right to be questioning Tim's motivation.

* Character development: Jay has moved from a passive to an active role. OK, not entirely active, he appears to be deferrent to Tim, ("What's your plan? What do you want to do?") but he is at least taking steps to do something and not merely watch events unfold.

* A small mystery in the form of "who was Jay calling on the phone?" I think it's safe to assume it's Jessica, but this is open to speculation.

* This very interesting bit of dialogue:
Jay: "Nothing good ever happens when I'm there."
Tim: "Is that Rosswood or is that you?"
Again, the significance of this is open to speculation.

And finally, perhaps most importantly, the stakes are acknowledged for possibly the first time: "We need to figure out what to do, otherwise one of us could end up dead." Not exactly new information, but it's refreshing to see it mentioned so frankly. (Also, possible foreshadowing?)

All in all, there is every indication that things are in motion to move forward in a major way, our heroes have a goal and a newfound determination and it seems highly likely that there will be another entry within the week. In other words, absolutely definitely NOT fucking filler.

'One of us', rather than 'both of us'. Yeah, that's not a loaded comment at all.

I'm a little bit worried about there decision to hasten the entry update schedule . As I said before, I felt that #63 felt a bit rushed in places (it was still great, though) and hope there giving enough themselves enough time on each entry, instead of being worried about waning intrest. We'll all still be here, after all Smile

If life is hectetic with Troy's new job, Tim and Joseph at college, then maybe they do need to stop for a bit and they could have a mid-season finale (plus, you know us, we'll be talking about it for months). Not saying that I don't think they can manage (they've done brilliantly for the last three years), but it's clear they all have a lot on their plate and Marble Hornets is the least of their worries.


Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the next entries are going to be fantastic and entry #63 was still great, but there finding things difficult, maybe that's an option for them? After all, they don't owe us anything Smile

I can see both sides of the argument here, for me it's that questions are being answered, but it's not the questions I want answering that makes it a bit frustrating, but that's no different from any entry really, I have faith in the MH guys that this is all being done to a plan.

Sorry if the next bit seems a bit 'Well duh' but I haven't seen it mentioned so far. At the start of this entry we see a shot of Jay plugging in a charger, I believe this is for his camera, therefore it was dead inbetween Entry 61 and this one, so what I want to know is what was said between Jay and Tim. Even if it was a 5 min walk, important questions would have been asked, which is why they may not have been said during this entry.

Number one question on my list if I were Jay would be 'So Tim... you wanna explain the whole mask and tackle thing you got going on?'
Jay doesn't seem too fussed in finding out. I'm sure it will be explained, but the time seemed right to ask now as oppose to later on.

I didn't really have any issue with what entry #63 did, just that it felt rushed. Personally, I love the slow reveal and am in no hurry to see all our questions answered and prefer season three over season two (which had more questions then answers)

Sorry if my post came across as negative, I wasn't really saying I have an issue with the entry, I quite liked it, I was just saying I can see where both sides of the argument are coming from. And my two cents was just more wondering what was said in the time the camera was down, it may be just be they walked back to the car in silence. I'd be quite happy if all the major questions were answered in the the last few entries, so you can go back and see how things tied in, but I just felt an obvious question was being missed. I would have been content with 'I don't want to talk about it' as an answer, just because it would have been acknowledged IG.

This right here. The last thing going on in Entry 62 was that the battery was dead, but Jay made it a point to say his camera was right in front of him. It was as if they were going to watch what was on the tape, but the battery was just dead. So when Jay had a chance to watch the tape, why did he not report on anything he found? Was there nothing? Is it notable that Hoody doesn't film things, if there was nothing to watch?

Hey, that's a really good point. It did look as if they wanted to see if the tape had caught anything at the end of 62, but we saw the moment that the camera was plugged in, and Tim just walked away and Jay didn't remind him.

Come to think of it, did Jay change tapes before plugging the camera back in? Even if this footage was on a differernt tape than 62, he must have put up 62 after the he filmed that first bit of 63. Why didn't he show that footage? Was Jay just intentionally trying to be dramatic?

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how long the guys were unconscious in the Hoody Hut.

I wish people would stop referring to the place where Jay and Tim woke up as being Hoody's. Even if that's where Hoody hung out, why would he drop Tim and Jay off, there? Furthermore, if that's supposed to be the place where he edits together professional-looking creepy videos-- yeah, that's just not the place. There's no power plugs and I highly doubt there's an Internet Service Provider who'd install a connection in a loosely put together shed in the middle of a public park.

I don't think it actually is Hoody's. I don't believe that he uses it for his TTA work. He may only have been there the one time. I just think that "Hoody Hut" is a memorable name that is more efficient than "that shack in Rosswood park where they woke up in 62." They've been to more than one abandoned, rundown location that could be called a "shack." So I like the more fun, alliterative "Hoody Hut," not because it's more descriptive, but because everybody who read the 62 thread will know exactly what I mean. Plus, I get a mental image of Hoody delivering pizzas.

Thanks guys, for a moment I thought I was the only one who thought that might be important! But now it makes me wonder, why not post the morning after scene with Entry 62? Why wait for the start of Entry 63?

If the camera battery did die and Jay charged it from the car (I'm sticking with this theory), then Jay has posted everything he can from that night/morning, which makes Tim's 'try not to tell too many people about this' even funnier!
