And there's good odds TTA will give us something to chew on in the next few days.

My thoughts on the video, in no particular order:

There were a lot of quiet, subtle callbacks to "season one" in this video. We had some really TTA-ish surroundings in the opening. We had the pills, from out of nowhere. Jay making sure the camera is on him at all times, just like he (and Alex) did all through season one, like a reflex. There's the immediate spelling out of the premise, like in the introduction to season one.

I think my favorite part of the whole video was that ending scene though. Jay walks up to a window and films outside, as in entry #1... but instead of night, it's bright and sunny daylight. Instead of nearly giving off the feeling of being filmed in black and white, it's full of bright colors. Instead of just panning in one direction, we scan everywhere... And instead of immediately focusing on Slendy, he's nowhere to be seen, at least not clearly... but we know he could be anywhere...


I noticed that too, and I have to agree with you that it is my favorite part of the video. The whole set-up just feels nostalgic in the way that it resembles the beginning of the series.

Don't know if this has been pointed out yet, but there's a water bottle in the car with Jay. He picks it up for a second and makes a face like "huh?"

In that screencap it looks more like a scared "oh god..." kind of face to me.

Awesomeness all around, I had noticed the water-bottle (but I think I need to watch the entry again, I just really didn't notice the sound of pills!)

Oh TTA, you old traveling partner. Now imagining Masky!Jay driving with his knees and juggling pills and water and tweetdeck in his hands. Pretty awesome mental image.

I recall a certain phenomena involving water and audio/visual tears in previous Entries. Perhaps Jay is aware of water's connection with these events?

I've been lurking the forums after discovering MH at the end of summer and when I found out they were making a part two, I got all giddy.

first: Wow on the little rant/drama in the last pages but then again, forums always have that.

Second: Love the intro to the entry and telling us WHAT happen to Jay during the past seven months (if he could try to jug his memory and knowing where he is), along with a nifty camera strap on him.

Third: Whatever happen in his seven month hangover, I'm doing two guesses...

1. He went to the place that has the return address from the package from last season, ended up being a trap and had his mind raped by The Operator. After that, Masky or TTA kept an eye on Jay until he snapped out of it.

2. Was sent seven months to the future so he won't bug tall boy during his search for Alex.


That's pretty much what I have for theories for this entry until the next one. And since Jay had the camera strap on him, I won't be surprised we get footage of his events before season 2 started.

Or he's thirsty. If say, he took a pill with the water, then it would mean something garaunteed. Let's not overanalyze.

Kay, so, I gotta say, I refreshed the forum and noticed several new pages and was like OMG YAY SOMETHING ELSE GOT POSTED, only to be horrifically disappointed when I read through all five pages of new posts and discovered that it was all drama started by some dude with a dog icon.

Really? I mean I could restate what's already been said to you, especially the "douche" part, but some of the things you said and the attitude you took made it seem as though you were personally offended that the creators didn't live up to your standards with this video. Yeah, I'm sure they're crying themselves to sleep tonight with this knowledge in mind. Get over it. If you like it, watch it. If you don't, don't. Don't sit here and bitch and moan about how EVERYTHING SUCKS OMGGG THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE BETTAR, LIKE OMG. Go off and play with the other better things then, if that's how you feel. Don't piss in everyone's cornflakes.

And, regarding something I meant to comment on a while ago but never did, someone mentioned the phone being off the hook in the hotel room but said that "phones were never important before." I do recall an aspect of phones being important, y'know, besides the fact that "operator" carries more weight than just a really nice suit. I wonder if Jay will start getting phone calls this season, or, provided that he took the phone off the hook himself for whatever reason and can't remember it, he's already been getting phone calls? (Someone already said this, and it seems viable. It would add a new medium to the game rather than just video and text.)

Also, the tones for numbers on a touch tone phone are sometimes confused for songs. Perhaps if there's music someone can't figure out (maybe not in this entry, but a future one) it's not music at all, it's a phone number? I've played a game before that used this. Not that I'm saying the lounge music was a coded phone number, but..you get what I'm saying.

*Wakes up in a dark room with flickering television and a camera strapped to his body.*

"Hello Jay...I want to play a game."




...Just rewatched the opening and that was the image it gave me >>;;;

I agree with this. The possibility of it being the same water bottle in 'the house' is sort of low too... why reuse that same old thing?

I don't know if he meant it was the exact same water bottle. Just the same type of effects. Remember the various times when water+slendy/masky equaled audio or visual distortion? Location scouting, in the house, when they were rehearsing and tim wanted water, etc.

Hmm. I've never picked up a water bottle and stared at it in fright, to be honest.

Exactly. In fact, I wasn't even referencing anything from the series itself, but rather, a theory that had been built up during Season 1 that seems to have been nearly forgotten.

But the question is why does the distortion happen? Does it mess with slendy or strengthen him? Either way, this connection hasn't been shown yet, so again, speculation. Although he wouldn't have put the scary watterbottle thing in the entry if it wasn't important.

I never claimed a connection to slenderman, simply that whenever there's water, there's shenanigans. Water has not only been around in bottled- and creek-form, but TTA has alluded at least three references to water himself. totheARK, the video DELUGE, the camera-pointing-out-a-window-while-it-rains, water.
