 		This is not an ARG and it has never been an ARG, and I can say that as someone who has been following since day one. I don't mean any disrespect to anybody, of course, but just because the character occasionally replies on Twitter, that doesn't mean the audience is important, nor do they drive the action whatsoever.

Yeah, but because of the twitter and the fact that it's supposed to be happening in real time, it has some ARG elements and I think people aren't complaining because they want to see entry after entry within the span of a few days, it's just that it wouldn't make sense for Jay to not find the tape fairly quickly, or say something about it. We could chalk it up to laziness if he didn't view the tape for a week but that just seems like a cop out.

Yes, maybe the twist we've all been waiting for is that this is actually one huge PSA about the dangers of smoking/drug use.

Dear god, could you imagine??

Oh yes, that's been on my mind as I've read through a number of threads the past few days.

I often wonder how much laughter at our expense Troy and Tim get out of reading these forums. Wink

I'd guess a metric fuckton.

In Alabama they use good old-fashioned Imperial Fucktons, thank you very much!

I thought it was Alex's house, and Jay got an anonymous tip Brian (Alex's neighbor) could be located there right after his interview with Tim (who insisted he lived farther away and didn't know Alex and hey, that Alex guy, he's kind of 'off'), who happened to be lurking inside and wearing a mask during one of the excursions. All work and no sleep could have me twisted around, I admit.

Anyhow, somebody went to crazytown while living there, but seeing Tim in it doesn't mean he lived there, anymore than Jay's visit meant he lived there, and we only hear that Brian was supposed to be there, and he's obviously not. If it was Alex's house, and Alex's new apartment is sprouting Bone closets and funky carpet, then crazytown might be familiar terrain for Alex.

I think it's fairly clear that's the same house from #20, said to be Brian's house. Where else would Brian be but his own house? The layout is the same, and even the overturned furniture looks to be the same. Tim has a coughing fit -- in the exact same spot in the hallway where Jay has his #16 and "Addition". Tim takes pills -- Jay finds pills.

Jay needed a tip because he has no personal recollections of Brian, of how deeply he was involved in Alex's MH project, and didn't remember the meeting from #20.

Probably. But really, that should be expected. Entry 50 ended up being a lead up or foreshadowing entry like 48, so naturally, people are going to expect to find out what happened next pretty quickly.

It only took Jay one day to find the footage for 49 after uploading 48, so hopefully he'll find the tape for 51 in the next day or two.

 		Remember guys, Jay got that tape in the "lost" seven months. We've got no indication that he's STILL got it.

If he says he can't find it then that's ok too, just as long as he says something soon to indicate that he's actually looking for it. Like the Bruce situation, but for a tape.

 		Something occurs to me--when 38 came out there was some discussion of the fact that Alex didn't have his glasses, and when we found out he was likely being "Operated" at this point, it seemed even more significant. However, now that we have footage from that whole day, something is missing--we never see Alex take the glasses off. They walk into the forest with him wearing them, and by the time 38 rolls in he's not wearing them anymore, and we don't see them again. They obviously made a deliberate choice to have Alex not wear them, so this isn't a continuity error or anything like that. So, what gives?

 		I actually don't know what to make of the whole glasses situation. It might be a continuity error, but then again they did bother to take his glasses off for the second part. Maybe they realized they had done the take wrong, but saw that it was getting dark and decided to say "Screw it".

It's such a minor thing that I don't think it should really be put under heavy debate.
