 		I thought I heard two voices, or at least two voice clips. I'm pretty sure one said "...the same (sane?) people."

 		I think that 0:12 and on is all the proof that we need that Hoody is ToTheArk. After all, what other explanation is there for his presence in the video?

(I'm saying this because I've heard people still say that he isn't TTA. I hope that this video convinces them.)

 		There is a lot of repetition in the code. Just reposting the numbers as they appear when divided into pairs:

Code:
79 75 83 27 72 72 24
83 75 68 13 83 27 79
68 83 57 68 24 83
79 79 83 57 75 57


Examining the codes, and trying to assign a letter to each unique number pair, I find the following:

Code:
A B C D E E F
C B G H C D A
G C I G F C
A A C I B I


There are only nine unique pairs -- 79 75 83 27 72 24 68 13 57. However, I'm stumped as to where we should go from this, if it isn't a false trail.

When fed into a substitution cipher solver, and asked to match their frequencies to the most common letters in the language (ETAOIN etc.), this is the result:

Code:
T A E N C C H
E A O F E N T
O E I O H E
T T E I A I


There doesn't seem to be any correspondence (at least none that I can find; someone else may have better luck) between the number pairs and whatever letters (or worse, other numbers) they might represent.

Possible item of note: All the numbers from 1 to 9 are accounted for in the code, but no zeroes.

Just what I said. But I think those numbers must have a meaning by themselves (why 79 and not 3 for 'A'? - it doesn't make sense to choose randomly large numbers, or pairs of them, like this when you are just replacing a few letters).

EDIT: I might be going too far, but what about something like a straddling checkerboard?

 		Well, I really doubt that there is any chance of the code being based on combinations of two digit numbers. As said before, there are far too many repetitions.

There are two codes, one before the question marks and one afterwards.
Code:
79 75 83 27 72 72 24
83 75 68 13 83 27 79

68 83 57 68 24 83
79 79 83 57 75 57


I tried to decode them manually using this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/60ecse8t%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

Unfortunately, not much of worth came out. Do to the repetition of so many pairs, I just got a combination of several numbers and letters:

Code:

O  K  S  -- H  H  --
S  K  D  -- S  -- O

D  S  9  D  -- S
O  O  S  9  K  9


The dashes are untranslatable, though I suppose that they could also be thought of as spaces. Unfortunately, even with that, it is still jibberish.

Unless someone wants to try and figure this out? I honestly think that it is a dead end, and that grouping the numbers into pairs of two is useless.[/code]

The way every line has an even amount of numbers and there are only 9 different pairs formed this way is too orderly to be a coincidence. It could not be the key to solving the code, but it's certainly a clue and we have none other.

 		Anyone else notice the small "S" watermark at the 32 second mark?

Pretty cool.

But I hope TTA didn't really destroy the TV. He/she/them could totally pawn it off and make money for more mindfuck endeavors. XD

Well, then I'm afraid to say it...

Maybe that TV was old and broken anyways. Smile

 		Personally, I think Jessica shows up in TTA videos just to taunt Jay. Maybe in order to make sure he doesn't change his mind about continuing.

In case you didn't notice the S mentioned above:

 		Here's a screenshot:



Sorry for the crappy image quality. Having issues with my photo sharing site.

Now for my two cents:

First, (OOG) I'm much relieved to see that the MH production crew haven't lost all heart. I still think what they're doing is top-notch and hope they continue to produce these chunks of interweb gold.

Secondly, I loved the editing. Nuff said.

Thirdly, I'm in love with the idea that has developed about Hoodie turning Jessica into his minion. I sort of took the "see now" comment (posted over Tim's brown eyes?) as TTA's way of conveying the idea that Tim now sees that he was being manipulated or that Tim has recovered enough memories to make him an unfit "masky."

I can't wait to see what develops...

Well...well...

Rebuild it. It's not like Jay's doing anything TTA has to keep up with anyways. XD

 		I think the idea that Jessica has been turned into a "new" Masky purely because some old footage of her turned up in a TTA video is sheer lunacy.

Old footage of Jay and Alex was in the video too. I suppose that makes them both Maskies as well?

I'd be much more sold on the theory if the extent of her appearance wasn't a 3 second clip of some old footage overlayed over a forest. I have no idea how that translates into her return to the series, let alone her return to the series as a major player.

 		Who is that standing in the reflection of the TV? I think it's Hoody? Also, someone said that they could see TO in the reflection.
