One of Slendy's pastimes is finding Waldo before everyone else, and making him disappear, so he can be the only Wheres Waldo champion. That's why its call Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, because he already found her, now no one else can.

Without Where's Waldo, Marble Hornets has lost the Nothing Is Scarier effect that made Entry #16 one of the most pants-shittingly terrifying entries of the entire series. Now, if we were to get Entry #16, it would be called one of the most boring entries of the entire series.

Hell yeah. Entry 16 was so damn suspenseful back when it first came out. I do want more Where's Waldo, where he's just standing there subtly somewhere in the background. There's too many jump appearances nowadays.

Also, I do agree with what some people are saying about TTA. I'd like to see more TTA videos with more meaning, instead of "CRYPTIC VIDEO WITH SOME CODE THAT TRANSLATES TO MORE CRYPTICNESS!"

Season 3 = Dedication to present-time Entries? Hell yes!

Altering the film-making aspect of TTA videos?: No, these videos do mean something. Just because we don't understand them now doesn't mean we won't in the future.

Jay's Derpiness?: Um no... When he says at the end of an entry "Alex is acting peculiar and I don't like it", how does that at all come off as derpish? I know that if my best-friend were acting like some thing is possesing him, I would most definitely have something to say about it.

The "Where's Waldo?" effect making a comeback?: Most definitely!

I love the TTA entries, and am sad that they have seemed to go on a hiatus. They are really fun to decode and they do mean something, however vague, especially in this season, where they seem more directed than in the first season. Plus, I love how they seem to poke fun at Jay, making fun of how much he really doesn't know.

TTA's videos should stay the same. They aren't just puzzles with the sole purpose of giving us more information but also little insights in who/what TTA is.

The point is that he seems to either be too confused to think most of the time, or just plain unreactive.

This has most likely been said already, but it would be cool if the guys could have a more consistent uploading schedule. That said, I understand that they have their real lives to worry about, and that (as it is now,) Marble Hornets is a side project for them. One can only dream.

Also, I would appreciate if they would bring back the Nothing Is Scarier elements that many people have mentioned.

I dunno, it's been pretty consistent, at least compared to last season. It's usually updated every other week on Tuesdays (or if we're lucky, we'll get on the week after).

I feel like I see this all the time.

*Ignoramus user enters the Twitter Thread*

"Wow, nice tweet Jay. He really couldn't get any more stupid."

*Proceeds to enter Entry #39 Thread*

"WHO WAS THAT?!? AND WHAT IS THIS!!>>! NONE OF THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE!"


..may have exaggerated a bit, but you know what I mean. Laughing

hahaha no I understand. But the man has lost his best-friend, has previously been attacked by masked men, and has lost 7 months of memory. Can you blame him for maybe sometimes pointing out the obvious? It's all he has. Everything else is completely obscure and foreign to him (ala the TTA entries, Entry #####/enttry #37).

It's hilarious to poke fun, but for the people that call it "bad acting", well I just can't understand that.

The only problem now is that with the action heating up the way it is near the end of the season, the entries can't be uploaded fast enough. Very Happy

You have an excellent point. As far as Jay goes, his life has completely changed because of the The Operator, totheark, and the masked vigilantes who always seem to know where he is.

However, while it's true that he's lost seven months of his memory, you'd think he'd make some more connections between what he already knew about The Operator and totheark by using what he's seen on the tapes. Surely memory loss doesn't affect the ability to make reasonable judgement?

Then again... Who wants to have a sleep over at Brian's house tonight?

TTA's purpose in season 1 was much simpler than communicating with Jay and/or the audience. The point was to raise tension in a way that the entries couldn't do on their own.

In entry #16, Jay says he heard some weird noises in the house. What do we see then? Tim was in the house, in a twist of MH's signature "oh shit he was there all along" scare factor. When Jay was contemplating (openly, on the Twitter) returning to the house, we got Signal, which basically amounted to "I'll be there". And when he was planning on returning again, we got Attention and motherfucking Admission, arguably the creepiest video in the entire series so far.

Videos like Indicator may be creepy on their own but they definitely lack the tension-increasing factor. A part of this may be because TTA can't propel the plot if we're still stuck with watching tapes from the past. (My own controversial opinion is that season 2 would have worked without most of the totheark videos... so there's that)

tldr more like "come back/find me" please!
