OR OR OR
Since TTA knew where he was, he obviously could know which hotel he was staying in too. Maybe he had his cell disconnected. Maybe it was turned off.
Maybe he's gotten calls from someone at a hotel before and did it (while in his amnesia journey) immediately as a precautionary measure?

Also, double-post ftw: tearing into claims isn't the same as yelling at people without having something to back it up. GC wasn't attacking anyone here, which is an important distinction to make. His raeg!post reminded me a lot of Fiasco, which is part of why I was yelling back at him (always did have a beef with someone who's only posts were "THAT SUCKSSSSS!" and then they would come back and start it over again with each new entry...)

But GC doesn't deserve to get called a douche and the like. :\ I think that, just as it's too early to hate on the series, it's too early to be patting each other's asses for being douche-rags to haters.

GC, if you're done, that's your decision; on behalf of myself only (don't want to speak for everyone else) I'd like to ask for you to stay. Having someone who has intelligent things to say is worth a dozen people making happy but pointless posts.

Hmm, this could be the case. At this point it's going to, unfortunately, be one of those 'wait and see' things, I think. But, hey, let's hope that they address this somewhere down the line! Crossing my fingers!

I actually do that when I go to hotels because I hate being bothered over the phone.

But, I like the idea of him taking the phone off the hook so as to deter some pestering caller.

And on the subject of GC, I honestly hope he wasn't offended by my name-calling. I think I was trying to come off as funny there, since it was in direct opposition with what he was asking in the post I quoted, even though I agreed with it.

Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that the water had any supernatural/Operator connection. I just remember water appearing in places Tim had been (when he drinks in #17, the closet in #16 that looks like he might have squatted there, the empty water bottle near the red tower where someone (probably Tim) left the tape for entry #22, etc).

Am I the only one noticing very slight slenderference?

This leads me to believe that Jay IS Masky in some way.

Listen to the auidio on 1:40

Nothing.

As soon as Jay sees himself in the mirror 1:44 a sound starts playing, this could very well mean interference, since the sounds is very similar to what was used with slendy.

Now then. If that was the only thing that suggested that Jay now gives interference I would shut up, but.

5:22


5:24



5:34



The camera is fine until Jay appears then it loses focus for a few seconds and then finally becomes stable again.

Coincidence?

I THINK NOT.

Whatever happened to Fiasco, anyway? He just kinda fell off the face of the earth.

GC, dude, I've seen your posts around the forum. I know you're a good dude. I personally don't want to attack you, and I'm sure it's the same for everyone else. I just felt that the way you went about it was the equivalent of a child throwing a tantrum. That was it.

You have rights to be skeptical. Hell, I am too, my first thought at the 7 month memory gap was "Yeah, these guys are totally jumping the shark". And yeah, nothing of significance happened, but in a way, I didn't really expect it to. I DID expect a recap of some kinda, maybe a taste of Jay's adventures, but what I got was another mystery. Yeah, not what I expected.

When life gives you lemons, throw it back and ask for limes for your Captain's with Coke. I'm guessing there's a lot of shit that went down between now and last April, and I'm ready to sit back with that Captains and try and figure this out.

Is there a file or something up for download somewhere that strings all of season 1's entrys and replys together kinda like a movie? I haven't watched anything MH in a while and want to refresh my memory. watching them all over on youtube isn't an option since I have no sound on this computer.

Now, the focusing thing I'm not so sure about. With my (very limited) knowledge of video cameras, they do have to re-focus when something walks in front of what they're focusing on, if they're on auto-focus anyways. So I don't think the blurring is Slendyference, but I could be wrong. People who know more about video cameras? What say ye?

As for the audio distortion... there IS odd reverb when he looks at himself in the mirror. But that'd bring up some really interesting implications -- that it's the sight of a person, not the presence of a person, that causes distortion. I'm not so sure that jives with the evidence we've got so far, but it's an interesting take on it. But yeah, that reverb-audio-distort is weird in any case, and a bit damning... but implicating what, I'm not yet sure.

Ehh, I know there was one on Luelinks, but you likely won't have a password for that place. I can ask a friend of mine, though.

Film student here. The vast majority of handheld camcorders like that (especially the expensive ones, as that one seems to be) can readjust the focus fast enough that you don't notice it at all. However, I have had problems with autofocus just like that in the past; they're not super common, but they happen enough. Also considering that we've never seen unfocused video as an example of video distortion before in Marble Hornets, I'd say it's just a coincidence.

One thing I just thought of: there are multiple cameras that Jay has now. The camera that can be strapped to his chest, and the regular handheld camera that we see resting on the tripod. This means that Jay's unreliable narrator-ness can be pushed even further, since when he's compiling footage for a video he has at least two cameras to choose from, so he can determine the view point by which the audience sees the events unfold.

I know he had multiple cameras for Entry #24, but it seems like now it can be more pronounced. The viewpoint from a camera strapped to someone's chest is very different than that of a handheld camera's viewpoint, since there's more range of motion with the handheld camera, versus the stationary chest camera that can only turn and take more in if the person moves their entire torso.

That Gentleman Caller guy is a real cunt, eh?
His dick is probably small than Lady Gaga's.

Ah, seven months later and everything is back to normal around here. Makes my heart happy, even you lovely spammers.

I do have to wonder, if water is important to the Operator, how would snow factor in? (It being a million degrees below zero, with a couple of feet of snow on the ground and more to come...) It would be neat to do a short!short to play around with this idea, though I can't think of anything that would be significant to actually watch!


You know, that would actually be really interesting. Although it looks fairly warmish wherever Jay is (I didn't see any snow/clouds in general, did anybody else?)

I think that'd be really neat if, in MHverse here, snow was some sort of weakness to the Operator/Slendy. (I don't know what to call him anymore, haha.)
Although, given that, maybe Jay being in a warm climate is bad news for him. Like bacteria, Operator grows in warmer climate. Ya gotta freeze the Slenderman! Like a delicious ice cream cone.

And my memory fails me, what was the conclusion on the creepy basment/bathhouse/wherever? Seriously, I can't remember if the location of that place was confirmed or even what that place was. Looked warmish. (Unrelated, vaguely, but I just really can't remember.)
