Sorry to sound overly negative. I'm still a Marble Hornets fan, but I'm not going to be a fan of everything they do. I still eagerly await the next installments and video responses, and I hope they pick the pace up again.


Bah, they can't all be super intense entries. I imagine that when, say, #9 came out, people were all "Oh god, that was so boring! Waaaah!" as well! Seems like the MH crew are working hard to try to go between being intense and confirming all of our chatter as to what is really happening. Give it a bit, it seems like they're taking a moment to solidify things for us, which is something that they rarely do for us! XD

Also, the teleporting thing is odd and does take it out of the realm of the real a little, but it seems like they've been building up to it over time. I'm not too worried about it. What is happening to Jay seems like a significantly unique experience to him (and maybe the rest of the IC crew), so while that might not be too realistic seeming, the events leading up to it still hold their creepy factor!

IF TTA is Alex and has transformed into something (no need to jump into WHAT, yet) he may be trying to push J into joining him. As if J's physical being won't be at stake with TTA's "help". One thing is for sure, though. J will NEVER mentally be the same.

He also keeps a very suspicious cool during this whole series! Maybe J has had alterior motives all along?


TTA 'helping' Jay in a way that seems counter-intuitive to him actually preserving the guy would fit with the idea that he's pushing Jay to join him. Or to transmogrify him at the very least!

I'm not sure that Jay is so much keeping his cool as he is refraining from being a complete retard and keyboard mashing. I think we all get that. He could just be in shock and not want to post this. Similar to Alex in #22, where he's relatively calm about everything even when he mentions that everyone is gone.

I'd imagine that if Jay has ulterior motives, it's to keep his hide (and his brains!) in one piece, even if that doesn't necessarily jive with how the rest of us would handle things.

[quote="O'Callaghan"]I kind of thought that the music was a sort of.. Pied piper kind of thing.. Dunno.. Probably gonna totally abandon this theory when I wake up. Good night and good luck, everyone!

Totally agree. Marching tune + Jay teleporting (+ the first part of the video where he turns, stares at the screen and a face-like shape appears, just before teleporting?) He's definitely being walked. Slowly moving towards doing so of his own volition though, given the first time Masky was in the room with him -- maybe setting up the portal to begin with?!

[quote="Badgerconda"]Don't overlook the possibility that Jay is simply watching TV....


But then why ignore it completely, and then look pointedly at it before going off to do his toss & turn & teleport business? Seems that if they were trying to get across that he was just watching TV, they'd show him glancing at it a few times and then doing his thing without having just paid it much heed!

Lol. Watch this be true, just like the folks screaming 'teleportation!' wound up being 99.9% true. 9_9

Slender Man doesn't seem so scary to me when I know some of his "superpowers" are teleporting people.


As anything terrifying begins to become more known, it gets less scary. And like Sylvine mentioned, this could indicate nothing more than tampering with the cameras (caused by Slendy's presence resetting them~?) rather than straight-up teleportation. There's still room to doubt (even if I'm not subscribing to it right now!)

Btw, I can totally imagine Jay sitting in a blind spot under one of the cameras for 3 hours with masky (and possibly slendy, too), and laughing his ass off in anticipation of the results Wink

"Epic lulz, gaiz!" No wonder Jay has such dirty dishes. He's too busy trolling!

Not gonna lie...if Jay suddenly became my new neighbor, I'd instantly order that dude a free pizza.

And using the awesome Dominos Instruction Giver for the driver, I'd have him stop by my place first to pick up a Mask and wear it when delivering said pizza.

I would voluntarily seek out SM if my mind ever conceived of it.

@Dray: True enough. I guess there was a lot of hype for this entry and I got caught into all of it. I can't wait for the day when we have some answers to whats been going on. Razz

Ok, enough derailing from me. Let's see...

Pushing the more outlandish theories involving mutation, aliens, and anything relating to Totheark out of my mind, here's what I see from this video in the context of the series.

1. The video confirms that in Entry #23 it is indeed some form of time/space interference we're seeing. This goes beyond teleportation...as shown in Entry #23, there are instances where Jay will try to exit into the hallway of The House only to end up in the closet/another room/same room. It's subtle, but there are definite changes in light levels during these instances as well. This suggests not only travel through space in a non-three dimensional sense, but also through time in a non-linear sense.

2. The video eludes to strange events taking place either without Jay's notice or having happened with such frequency that Jay has become used to them. These include the odd music heard throughout Entry #24 with no apparent source, the visual distortion within Entry #24 while Jay sleeps (previously speculated to be caused solely by the presence of The Masked Man, Slenderman, and in one instance Tim), and the odd imagery in Jay's TV (currently speculated by me to be live outdoor footage fed to the TV as a home-made surveillance system which recorded footage of an odd, mostly white blur first, then a human skull during the time/space interference).

Both of these match the current pace of the MarbleHornets story, as the Entries have become more prone to blatant supernatural activity as they've progressed.

No idea what Sadako means.

No connection between my saw happy neighbor and Slenderman on a joking level. But it's unsettling to suddenly hear an electric saw fire up when everything is, literally, dead quiet around you.



Sadako is the girl from Ringu
aka "Samara" in the Ring.

That theory sounds too much like the Ring to me, I doubt the MH crew would have that be it.


Edit: also, if one of my neighbors started using an ELECTRIC SAW in the middle of the night, I would tolerate it for about four seconds and then go tell them to knock that shit off; seriously that is ridiculous. Go put that bastard in his place.

When you say it like that the entry seems to have a lot more significance than I thought. I'm quick to judge things. Embarassed

I thought that might be what was being referred to since my Horror fueled brain caught the similarities a few minutes later.

Anyway, from what I understand about the original Slenderman mythos, the Slenderman entity would appear more frequently and in a more blatant fashion as someone gained more knowledge of the entity. This would eventually culminate in that person vanishing mysteriously due to Slenderman.

They officially ran out of script: almost 3 minutes of nothing and a poor (let me quote) slender-narnia recall has tarting to make all this project lame and boring. And I really loved how this has begun...
Just shoot to this pityful crippled horse.

Jay's not noticing strangeness

I don't remember anyone mentioning this before, so here it is just for the record.

Quite a few times, Jay refrains from commenting on significant things in the videos--from the start, that has been true.
For example, he mentions that there is some distortion or sound wackiness, but totally omits any mention, for instance, that Slender Man is visible right outside the window for the entire time, etc.

Could it be that he actually is not seeing these elements, at least sometimes?? Or he feels, maybe, that it's too darn obvious to be worth his while to mention it? But it's strange to say,

Quote:

"WOW man, there's tearing on the video! [and yeah, slenderman again, but whatever...that tearing iz AMAZZING!]"


Would it not be more expectable to have comments like "In this footage I discovered Slender Man again--He's standing among the trees!"?

[Or it's maybe just the style of the game to encourage deep scrutiny (!) of the footage by not pointing that stuff out?]

I just thought his lack of comment might in fact be something he is blocked from seeing, but wanted to post for some other reason and just by chance it had something we can see (in game).

Oh well, it doesn't really convince even me, but anyhoo...

And yeah, in #24, it's weird that the camera that films Jay NOT going into the room with the video monitors collects the sound of the door closing, despite the fact that it does not move? Or is the sound just kind of mixed from all over the house?
But. . .but...the door does move from one side, but not the other. . .it should just have opened and closed without anyone seen entering, IMHO.

Also, I thought the music was just something he was listening to, at first. Now, not so sure.

Glad the game is still not MIA!
