 		Has anyone attempted to put the numbers into a phone, and use the 3 letters for each number to spell out a word?

Or even perhaps t9word?

This is a stretch...but I think we've reached "grasping at straws" status here on this one:

I can't get it out of my mind that the "continueon" backwards means that we need to be looking in the past, at previous entries. Maybe we should be looking at the entries that are featured in this video? 20,3,42...


If it helps:
Distant silhouetto of a slenderman in a doorway or hallway: don't know--I recall a 2nd season clip of Alex moving down a hall that fits, but can't find it.
Hand grabbing the camera: #45
Alex checking his phone/alarm and replacing the tape (shown with Hoody in the background): #3
Eyes with "sees now": don't know, probably doesn't matter, only mentioning it for OCDosity. Looks TTA-ish.
Jessica/Mask (overlaid over Hoody holding a screen with a mask): #32
Clip of Jay (in treed TV): #42
Clip of Tim (in treed TV): #20

I'll now sit and wonder if the video numbers mean anything about the end-of-video numbers, and how much vodka I'll need to make them all fit together...


I always thought the hand grabbing the camera looked like when Hoody grabs the camera in Entry #61 (though the hand doesn't look gloved in Surveillance).

As for "Alex moving down a hall", the beginning of the tape in Entry #26 with random shit happening comes to my mind, but the hall is made of brick (and this long hall doesn't look like brick). There are more times Alex is walking down a hall, but nothing jumps out in my mind right now.

Also, I was looking at stills of that hall in Surveillance, and I was thinking it might be Alex at the end of the tunnel instead of The Operator (just like some said for the ending of Session, one of my favourite TTA vids by the way).

I'm afraid this is incorrect. If you freeze the TTA video, the person grabbing the camera is wearing a shirt/jumper with sleeves; Alex is wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt in #45. I'm inclined to believe that it's new footage, if I'm honest.

 		All these codes make my brain hurt. Wink
This was a really well-made video. I'm starting to think that TTA/The Hoodster is putting Jessica is these videos to guilt-trip Jay/as incentive.
I also think that "continue on [backwards]" means to find out more about Tim's past/past events in general, or it could mean (and this is a bit of a stretch) that TTA is mocking Jay and is telling him that he's going nowhere and might as well be going backwards.
Kinda far-fetched, but eh. Whatever.

Thought of that too, because there are no 0. BUT there is a 1... and on phone keyboards, if im not mistaken, the number 1 just as the number 0 doesn't stand for any letters. Im not sure.

I think you're right--the angle and the grab looked the same to me, but there's stuff off the the left in this video that's not in Alex's video. And the glove and mask are black, so both would be bright in a negative image, so they would work here.

I'm not thinking of the footage of probably-Alex going down the hall itself, but in the footage of the then-mystery person in a hall or corridor, there was a silhouetted man in a rectangle of light at the end. This looks to me like that image in high contrast--but like the eyes, I don't know if it's important enough to dig through looking for a specific entry to tie it to.

This is a dead end. I put it into a site that makes words from phone numbers, none of them were meaningful and they all had leftover numbers.

 		I really want to break that code and will keep trying different things... BUT.. what are the odds that the decoded message is a typical vague TTA accusation that offers us no real info?

That or they're gonna Christmas Story us and it'll say "Drink your ovaltine"..

Oh yeah, it was in such a recent entry that I thought everyone would remember (though it HAS been a while). In entry #65 at 2:06, a shot of this exact hallway can be seen.
Actually, it looks like it might be from the same footage, only Surveillance has more and it goes backwards. Maybe that has something to do with "continue on [backwards]"?

EDIT: Oh, I'm just assuming this is what you were talking about though.

The first clip is a similar sequence to one in entry 65.

Maybe the deteriorating TV just means Hoody has been watching all this time and now he's done watching? If it's something like that, then maybe Hoody is going to do something more physical now, or get directly involved more often.
Or maybe he knows where the ark is ("sees now"), so he doesn't need to monitor Jay/Tim/Alex/etc. anymore?


This just made me think about something. It's far fetched, but just stick with me here.

I remember quite a lot of people thought that the dream Jay mentioned was of some relevance, otherwise he wouldn't have posted it. Now let's say this dream actually happened, and seeming as he 'can't remember what happened in it at all' his mind got slendy wiped. What if Jay led Hoody to the ark? To quote Entry ######: "And you will lead me to the ark."

This would fit in with the 'sees now' and the whole video in itself as Hoody no longer needs to monitor Jay as he now knows where the ark is.

I'm probably overthinking this, in fact I know I am. But what if I'm not? *shrug* I just thought I'd put this out there.

 		About the "S" (or 5, sigma, stigma, Digamma, etc.) on the "permanence" TV, here I drew where the "S" symbol is supposed to be. I also see other things though, like something that kind of (not really) looks like "omega", or a cursive-ish "L".
I don't think it's really supposed to be anything though; probably light or who knows what. I can see what Magyk meant by the "S" thing being "akin to the times when people [think they see The Operator] and it's just an oddly cast shadow or tree blowing in the wind."

Picture originally taken by YouWillLeadUs; sorry for taking it without asking (I couldn't get a good screen cap)

You end up with a bunch of garbage that you can't do anything with due to there only being one or two vowels. Check around page 10, I laid it out.

 		Okay

what I've got from looking at the other entries is that


PAINTINGS


AND DRAWINGS


...are important?

Idk, my brain is so melted by this one, iGiveUp.

Edit: No but really, those paintings in the antique shop? The painting in entry 20? Something...something. Sorry, I'll stop rambling now.
