 		Honestly, I doubt 29 will be explained. It's a really minor plot point. And explaining why there's stuff in the wrong place would be like if a character explained why a window was open in one shot and closed in the next when it should have been opened. That's just because they made a minor mistake. I understand people don't know where it fits in the timeline, but there's plenty of stuff that we don't know where it fits in the timeline. For instance. For instance, any placement of the MH tapes is basically unknown.

Ya as far as I'm concerned I just need to know what happened to Jessica, what happened to Amy, what happened to Alex, and who is Hoody.

I don't know. Entry #29 seems to hint at some pretty major things, including a time before Alex started working more with the Operator (since he's running from it), someone being killed at the tunnel in Rosswood Park before Alex started killing anyone, and obviously an encounter between the Operator and Alex that I can't imagine ended well. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the point where Alex started being seriously manipulated. It's probably going to be a major plot point that falls into place naturally as time goes on without needing any big reveal.

What says this came before entry 49? How do we know this is Alex? Has this revealed anything? No. Attempted foreshadowing of the missing 7 months? Probably.

I think that there's a good chance that it's Alex, given that it's taken with something like his chest cam (you can see him holding another video camera in a few of the shots, and that's obviously intentional to show that it's not what they're filming with). If it's Alex, he seems to be running from the Operator, too, where in entry 49, he just sits there watching him while he shows up and makes the body vanish, so I'm guessing that something about their relationship, if you want to call it that, changed between the two videos. That's why I'm guessing that it's before 49. Always assuming it's Alex, though. It could be someone else after Alex killed the apparent the person in the tunnel (would explain the blood at the end of the tunnel). They just happen to have an Alex-style chest cam.

I think that it seems too significant to be meaningless and to never be explained, though, given that it shows someone being trapped in a tunnel with the main antagonist and apparently shows blood from where someone was killed.

 		It seems to me as though the simple explanation is that it takes place some time after Bruce's murder, there's just a few things off for reasons that are probably unimportant.

 		I'm pretty sure the blood is from the beard guy. His white t-shirt is there. The rock Alex bashed his head in with is there. It's not really subtle. Not to sound like a dick, but it's kinda the whole point of the entry.

 		Well we need to be reasonable here.

Preferred weapon of choice of MH characters:

Knife (Three times)
Rock (Three times)
Whatever Alex can find around him at the time (Twice)
Gun (Once)
Maglite (Once)

Since we haven't seen Alex use a knife, we can obviously assume that the rock, as the next best thing according to popularity, has been used more than once. It gains more points for being something Alex could just find around him. Rolling Eyes

In Marble Hornets, guns are as useful as maglites.

Wait, is this counting both pipes he tries to kill Tim with?

 		Yeah, a stick and a rebar I think? Or something? I didn't care enough to go for accuracy...

 		Jay said the second one was "A heavier pipe" then the one he used in the last entry, so they were both some kind of pipe. The first one looked like rebar though. But ya, guns are pretty rarely used, which is part of why when Alex does use one it was so effective to the audience. Honestly next time I see Alex I'm gonna be scared shitless.

Now I feel a bit unobservant for not noticing that =P Okay, opinion changed.

As much as I love callbacks, trying to take Slenderman down with Car-Fu would feel weird, considering EMH did it in a very early video.


Yeah, I think it's going to be more of a mental thing that takes Slenderman away, rather than a physical attack on Slenderman. He's physical but the way he really gets people is by fucking up their mental state for the most part (there is the coughing up blood thing) because he represents paranoia and fear.


Was not aware of the EMH car-fu. Haven't really been following them or attempting to, I'm more a TribeTwelve guy.

Ah, but who says said car-fu would take oppy away? Hehehe...

Eh, I don't know. It seemed like a good ending idea at the time. But there are better endings that could be done. I'm not much of a fan of "everyone dies" endings, nor am I a fan of "everyone lives" endings. I personally feel that before the series fully ends, Tim and Alex have to die. Brian and Jessica should be found, ToTheArk Revealed, and oppy should still be out there, doing who knows what. All that said, Idk what should happen to Jay. Trosephim will give us a good ending, I'm sure, regardless of our expectations.

 		It didn't work. But my point wasn't really about whether or not it would work. It's that it's kind of deflating when your big finishing moment is a minor plot point in another series.

 		I'm sure I'll be happy with what they come up with.

But I hope its the most epic ending to anything ever.

No pressure guys.
