I wonder what happened to Alex's dog. Was it among the animals he found strewn throughout the yard?

That's been wondered about countless times. J said that as far as he knew, Alex took the dog with him when he disappeared.

Well, it's an update. A rather lackluster update, but hopefully it's a sign that a new video is approaching? I guess we can speculate as much from this tweet as we did from "Not sure what to think about it. Definitely considering getting out of here though." which was mainly "let's wait and see what happens"

I asked J if he's still filming himself, and also if he has any clue who or what Masky is. Also urged him not to order the roomservice cheesecake.
If he is still filming himself and has his equipment with him, may still have video update from him. Would love to have him just speak to us a la a 'vlog' and ask for help, or to urge us to do something. . .
Wow, a hotel instead of a motel? Classy. That takes money, guys. . .

Say, I had a thought last night on the "precedes trees" from the Version video. What precedes trees? "a seed."
Perhaps this can be useful as a password, or something?? Or as part of a way to break one of the codes?

The scrawls do emphasize the "pines" and such.
Also "speaks to me." What can that mean? SM doesn't speak (though Masky does, although that was later!); perhaps SM can speak to Alex by ESP, kind of the way the 'snow' talks to Paul in the MOVIE "Silent Snow, Secret Snow." Please let's not get confused about that anymore; it was not the Rod Serling Night Gallery episode that the footage was from in "Signal"; it was from a short movie of the same name!

Precedes trees; the titles of the TTA posts

More thoughts on "Precedes Trees."
"A seed" or "An Acorn" perhaps? In the video we see the tower & also trees; what is before that image, or perhaps above the inverted trees? The tower? The grass?
Also, I feel that the TTA videos' titles are not closely related, often, to the content of the videos; perhaps there is another meaning? Well, I mean, duh, sure there must be, but how to read it? Seems strange that Precedes is singular, but trees is plural.

I think it is possible that we've seen the end of the TTA channel's posts if TTA or Masky has migrated to the marblehornets channel, so here is a list of all the titles. . .

Initial letters only:

Here is the Internet Anagram Server's page of findings: http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=R+O+D+I+E+P+A+A+S+M+R+V+A+A+W&t=9000&a=n You can adjust the number in the url to whatever number you wish; there are more than 66,000 combinations!!
TTA has shown a repeated predilection for using this kind of message, but so far nothing stands out as an anagram of these letters for me. "Warm Area so Vapid"??
It bugs me that TTA tells us to listentoitall and that soundiseverything, but we get so little satisfaction from his sound tracks.
And is there consensus about the missing sound--is it Alex who wiped the early sound tracks, or a SM side effect? Perhaps they shifted to sound distortion instead as it's scarier? The sound from Entry # 10 that we recovered seems very unrevealing.
Man I'm frustrated. I'd best shut down for a while, eh?

Oh hey, Jay actually does something smart!

Unrelated to that, I've really started to consider the possibility that TTA could be Brian. The initial tip to search the house was a tip about where Brian may be located; as far as we know, Brian's missing too; Tim and Brian were supposedly good friends, and if Tim is Masky then it'd make sense that they'd be chilling out together. It just seems... too obvious when I think of it that way. The only things that make it seem unlikely to me are the fact that Brian seemed kind of uninvolved in the whole Slenderman thing (but then again, I said that about Tim too) and that when we see Brian he really didn't seem the sort to be making TTA-esque videos (which really doesn't mean anything. It's been 3 years.)

So now my two candidates are Seth and Brian. I'm really not feeling the Alex thing as much any more; partly because I don't think Alex of all people would consider this 'a game' as in Entry ###### and partly because I know I'd be pissed as hell if the dude I was looking for ended up being the dude scaring the shit out of me with weird videos xD.

Though just to throw out another half-baked theory that just came to me and needs more mulling over: we know that something happened to Seth. It's possible that somethin happened to Brian, too, and that's how Tim got involved. Tim does seem to go where Brian does.

Oh yay! Perhaps there is some hope for Jay, yet! *huge sparkly hopeful eyes*

Gnomon Rose, what if the ###### was a hint, like in Hang Man? "There are six blanks to fill in." When I first saw ###### I thought "hex code for a colour", you know, like FFFFFF is white, or 000000 is black? Maybe it's a hint to pick six letters (or numbers, god I don't know) in combination, or that what we're looking at is somehow hex coded. X3

Then again it could just be that ###### is making fun of 'Entry ##', like TTA is saying, 'this would go on forever if it weren't for me. Stupid git. Oh, wait, instead of telling you that, I'll be artsy about it~'

One thing about this for shor, why twitter if they weren't planning on uploading more. 8D Eeeeeeeeeh! ....ahem, I mean, it's kind of them to give us an in character poke in the ribs to stop worrying about that.

Brian as TTA. It might make sense! As far as we saw in the earlier entries, Brian seemed to go missing pretty early in the game. If people were leaving dead animals on Alex's lawn, that was probably later in the game (unless his dog really WAS killed!) so... maybe Tim had rehearsed various answers to give to Jay? Hmmm. Then again, there IS that thing where we never see the two of them in the same place... :\

Ha ha, if TTA were Alex, that'd be pretty hilarious. XD I had stuck by that thought for some time. Series end: Jay shows up to Alex's place to find him making another artsy, creepy movie, and punches him right in the face. X3 Oh, and some other things involving Slender Man. Maybe after the credits roll.

Is anybody else giggling at the prospect of Slendy and Masky sneaking into the hotel with stolen bellhop uniforms and fake mustaches on?

No?

So I'm just weird then...fair enough.

I do like the possibility of a change in setting...maybe another time-warp/teleportation in store? Like, Jay gets up to go to the bathroom...but when he opens the door he ends up back in the house somehow! I have a feeling that one way or another...Jay's about to get a dose of reality that he can't get away so easily.

Cue evil laughter.

I get back from a nasty bout of food poisoning, and the first things I see here are Herpex, roomservice cheesecake, and passing up a visit to Montreal in favor of teh pokemans. I fucking love you people. :'D

And no, nyc_jester, you're not the only weird giggling one here. X3

Did somebody remind Jay to take the tv out of his room? Might as well take every precaution!

Sorry, I just think "Left town after last tweet." is a really, really funny sentence.

Blue Jays tend to squawk more than tweet, don't they? XD

He probably got, like, a thousand replies within an hour of that tweet. I don't think it would be possible. o_0
