I was thinking, would IG Jay think to go back to Alex's house after this video?
Would someone have to tweet him this idea or are we to assume he will recognize the bench?


I think if we tweet him, there won't be a reason for him to not think of it. BUT, if we tweet him, it's pretty much a clear sign for TTA (who's obviously stalking him) saying 'hey, I'm going here, get there before and film me some more. He's on the run for a reason.


Even though Jay is on the run, TTA wants him to actually DO something. Learn more, see more, look for the signs. Even though TTA is obviously asking him to come back, I think he should go anyways. Where else does he have to go? All he's doing now is looking through the tapes from the past 7 months and Alex's hard drive.

Maybe the next entry will be real time instead of the past? That's what I'm hoping for... sort of. Either that, or what happens to Alex and Jay in the forest after Jay has to change the tapes.


Yeah, I don't think TTA knowing where Jay is going should be too much of a problem. In fact, I think it's a good thing - it might mean Jay is about to find some answers. TTA always seems to know where Jay is anyway (even when laying low, haha). Jay should certainly be careful when checking out Alex's house. But TTA has prompted a specific action before ("come back, find me" followed by Jay returning to Brian's house). I think he'll be fine. After all, TTA still hasn't done anything to Jay but scare him with videos.

Maybe this time Jay can draw from his past experience and anticipate TTA's moves. Maybe try to trap him and wring him for info? Is that giving Jay's capabilities too much credit?

@OmegaX - Lol, you goober.

That didn't work so well for him in Entry #23, did it?

So, apologies in advance for the crazy long post.

This video got me wondering what Jay actually has accomplished so far, so I did a quick scan of all the videos and took note of all the times Jay actually went out and did something constructive Operator related. I didn't count any entries in which Jay is just passive and stuff happens to him (like when Masky sits around his bed) or any of the flashback entries (Since we don't know precisely when those took place). Anyway, here's a vague timeline.

DonMonte's notes wrote:
Times we have proof that Jay actually took action

Introduction: June 20, 2009
Begins uploading videos to youtube

Entry #15: Oct. 3, 2009
Talks to Tim about Alex

Entry #16: Oct. 16, 2009
Searches abandoned house for Brian

Entry #18: Nov. 10, 2009
Returns to abandoned house, gets attacked by a Masky

Entry #19: Nov. 25, 2009
Reveals he's been recording himself, shows a tape in which he sleeps while a Masky creeps around.

Entry #21: Dec. 21, 2009
Goes to the tower, finds tape, bolts.

Entry #23: Jan. 28, 2010
Returns to abandoned house, gets masky-fucked.

Entry #26: Apr. 18, 2010
After moving around a bit, decides to quit. Is then delivered package with a tape and decides to find Alex.

[Amnesia time, insert entries #34-#42 (so far) here]

Entry #31: Jan. 4, 2011
Searches for the area from Entry #29. Talks to Jessica.

Entry #33: Jan 18, 2011
Gets contents of hotel safe, gets Masky-bum rushed, bolts.


So... as far as we can tell, Jay hasn't done anything other than play on the internet for about 6 months now.

If I were TTA, I'd be pissed too.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yes, I know that OOG it's down to how much time they can put into this... but I try to play as if OOG doesn't exist.

@DonMonte - awesome list! Thanks for whipping that up. Smile I think I'd add Jay's decision to start filming himself the way Alex did. That's relevant since filming constantly is the best way to document strange occurrences and catch proof of the Operator's existence (and could be the only way to see him, according to one theory).

God, you're right. It feels like time has gone by quickly, but it really has been 5-6 months since he's done *anything*. Even during the 7 months, as far as we've seen he hasn't had one solid conversation with Alex about the Operator. (Maaaybe they were getting there in #38. I hope we see the rest of that footage soon.) And his results have been terrible - he's still clueless.

So I don't blame TTA for getting impatient (I know I am), but I really want to know why he has to wait for Jay to investigate and figure things out when it's obvious he knows more about the situation than Jay. If TTA has a specific goal in mind, what's keeping him from getting it done himself? I guess it relates to the ark and the reason Jay has to lead him to it. I still don't know what to make of that.

The way Jay only said "That thing" and alex responded with "That thing is in there?!" I dont know if this means Alex and Jay have spoken about the Operator or if Alex thought Jay meant something completely different. I hope things get cleared up soon Very Happy

Yeah, that's a valid point, I'll go edit my post right now.

You know, I wasn't really sure what to make of that. I think Jay's tone of voice when he said "that thing" made it clear to Alex what he was talking about. But my impression is that they hadn't talked about it before - ever. It's possible that somehow it remained this vague thing they both knew exists but for some reason never explicitly talked about. Actually, that meshes well with the idea that thinking/talking about the Operator summons him. Seriously though. Discussion and clear communication needs to happen if they're going to solve anything, even if it's dangerous.

So while I was re-watching season 1 of MH yesterday I noticed something. During entry ##### there is the same sort of "eyes" effect with the light. It's a slightly different shape (more oval) but definitely reminded me of this!

That list is amazing! Perhaps you can also add that he went to that house where Masky was de-Masked - that seems pretty active to me.

But yeah, other than that, it really does seem like Jay's been sitting around doing nothing. Maybe he's spending all this time on /x/, debating whether or not Slendy was created as a metaphor for pedophilia.

Well, that is being active, but it happened in that 7 month amnesia period, so I don't know when it actually happened. It could have been back in April 2010, or as late as Dec 2010. Either way, I assume that Jay was actually busy and productive during those 7 months, since when I took my notes, I had something written down for just about every entry except #41.

I couldn't get to the audio until now.
I still keep hearing the beat to "Happy Birthday to you" at the end though.

Above is a short clip, the purpose of which is to show you the last bit of audio from "Memories".. It sounds like "Happy Birthday". Attached is Enttry #37.. Of note is the fact Enttry #37 was not uploaded by Jay, TTA has had access to his account in the past and the fact that the description of entry 37 is exactly the same title as the TTA video we're discussing "Memories". I believe the audio in it is simply a very, very heavily distorted clip of Enttry #37.. However I am currently messing around with the first bit of audio to see if that particular portion is also from the same entry.

On to questions; Just throwing random stuff out there.

Why did TTA upload this video to Jay's account?
Why the fascination with this particular day?
What correlation is there between Memories and Enttry #37?
Why exactly is the countdown listed in "Memories" description and in what way could it possibly relate to Enttry #37 if it does at all? [Edit question; Is there 5 candles on Alex's birthday cookie? Or 6? I can't tell.]
Is the Skully starred out face and the sudden Operator mark on it an indication that it's Alex if Memories is pointing us back to Enttry 37?

It's within a week of the first '7-month blank' video (that's the consensus, anyway, could be the same day, could be the next month, but the general consensus is it's within a week), which was stated as being a few days after Jay got the tape in entry 26.

We know that #34, where he finds nothing, is 3 days after #26 was uploaded. In #35, he also seems very impatient to find something, so I think that's probably pretty soon after, possibly the next day. #39 is "About a week after," as well as "Over a week" after, so I'd say 8 or 9 days from there. #40-42 are all the next day.

Keep in mind that Jay and Alex don't actually know what The Operator is called. They both know that there's some weird supernatural thing stalking them, but they don't know what its name is or what it wants; logically, "that thing" is the only thing they can really call it, especially when Jay was as freaked as he was.
