 		Did everyone get that: he's called the Operator because he controls you.

Also, I think it proves that Alex is doing this against his control. You can hear him whisper "Don't follow me", referring to Jay. Jay is still his best friend, and he doesn't want to kill him, but Alex is now under control of the Operator (who is of course operating him).

That's why he's called the Operator. Because he can make you do things you don't want to do.

That is why Alex is fighting against this feeling to murder his best friend, but couldn't stop himself. Lucky for Jay, Bruce took the hit.


I agree with this a lot. Alex is literally killing people for the Operator. Maybe Alex still videotapes himself so that Jay may be able to determine why he did what he did, so long as Jay has all of the video--not just what looks like murder a la #49.

 		I think the fresh blood on the rock indicates that 29 takes place later in the same day as 49. It's possible that Alex's call even triggered Jay's return visit--perhaps he was a little suspicious so he decided to investigate beforehand?

3. Who and why is totheark?
4. Where is Amy?


It'd be really difficult for a story to continue if Jay didn't survive. No one would edit, no one would upload to youtube... We'd just be left with unanswered questions forever.


But hoody and alex can die. we have nothing to say that they are alive currently.


Oh yeah, they totally can. Pretty much anyone BUT Jay can die. Jay pretty much can't, by virtue of the medium.


Of course once we get back to the present, Jay is fair game too.
I wouldn't be completely shocked if our dear narrator doesn't make it out of this one.

 		Did Alex kill that guy by choking him or by knocking his head on the floor until he passes out? I just find it strange that he doesn't try to move.

Is it just me but is there no blood or shirt when Bruce is slenderported?


Blood on the rock at the end.


Yeah, but in 29 there are literally pools of blood


Hard to say if that's blood--it could just be nasty ass water, which does tend to collect in tunnels like those. I'm assuming you're referring to the water on the side of the tunnel in 29?


That's what I was getting at with my ridiculous HD pics which I realized didn't actually say what I was getting at.

Entry 29: Blood everywhere and shirt.
Entry 49: Rock with blood.

My theory: Alex/someone planted these for Jay?

Okay, at 3:18, exactly halfway through, NaN:NaN.

Wiki: Not A Number and lots of math. Also, "For example, 0/0 is undefined as a real number, and so represented by NaN; the square root of a negative number is imaginary, and thus not representable as a real floating-point number, and so is represented by NaN; and NaNs may be used to represent missing values in computations."

Neat. If it's not intentional, they made Youtube shit brix.


That's interesting. Uploaders CAN do things with the progress bar thing, like with the Nyan Cat video.

 		Now the question that remains is why was Alex in the tunnel in the first place? Was he just contemplating? Was he waiting for the Operator?

Oh, and is there any chance that Alex actually killed Amy? We only have his word for what happened after Entry #26.

Jessica and Tim have to live to at least the end of the 7 month period... then they can be slendy snacks... their clothes being the wrappers which he discards after eating.

 		My apologies. I read it wrong. I'm scatterbrained. It's late, and this entry made me shit galaxies. Time to (unsuccessfully) attempt sleep.

Not necessarily. Someone else would have to take over the Youtube channel or else TTA would have to post the conclusion. If Jay is dead he can't upload videos, and if he can't upload videos we don't get to see them unless someone else does (like TTA?). He also can't really have them on another channel (Jessica's or Brian's or Tim's or whatever) that hasn't been authenticated as an official channel in the storyline before Jay's death, because after his death he won't be around to point us to it.

 		Since we are all pretty much concluding with very similar theories, how about a somewhat new question?

Does Alex a killing a random, possibly innocent, person — and TTA attacking Alex, make TTA's intentions good instead of the popular belief that they are an evil group of psychopaths?

The Operator's silhouette is visible in the video distortion around 2:35 when Alex loses the chestcam. Anyone care to screen-grab it?



It's another Where's Waldo moment. Looks like The Operator, but can't confirm that it's actually him. Either way, there's a creepy humanoidoid silhouette.


Unless they've been applying the rack to people that's TO.

Slightly hunched in the shoulders, long skinny-ass limbs, black. Trademarked it should be.

Well if you don't breathe for a while you'll pass out, but not die--ever hear of that weird game that kids play where they choke themselves with a belt or something and then pass out such that the belt comes undone? A few people do die from it, but to actually kill someone I think you need to continue choking them for a while after they've passed out.

I've GOT IT! Alex chokes the dude into submission, then that weird sound is the Operator saying "FINISH HIM!", so Alex goes for his signature fatality, the giant rock.

That would be a really interesting ending, Jay and Alex, maybe even Tim (and Brian?) dying, all the people who know about the operator (including any others) and TTA posting some kind of epilogue.
