Troy's the director. Why would he not be there to film?

I was just pointing out that in theory they could make an entry without Troy if they had to.

I don't think they need to though. In my opinion, the attempt Hoodie and Masky made on Alex's life fulfills the threat TTA made. They don't need to do anything special for 4/4

Not long till 4th April. Anyone having doubts about something epic happening? Razz



I am having doubts after the new blog post of Troy's. It doesn't seem like he is going to resume shooting soon, but... Question


well it's been long established that time in the MH universe isn't the same as ours so maybe our April 4th isn't the same as their's


Nah, that would break a lot of immersion.


It's still been established that in-story time is not the same as real life time. So while in-game it might be "April 4th" I doubt anything will happen on our April 4th, especially since

Did I miss something? In game time has always been the same as real life time... Might I ask what instance caused this to be "established"?

There is no strict rule regarding flow of time in the series. The sequence of Tweets posted by Jay are happening in real time, as well as the dates when videos are posted.

As for the events of the videos, we must rely on context clues given in the videos or Tweets to know when they took place.

Though, hypothetically, if they were all in college circa 2004-2006 prior to the series, and that was almost ten years ago-- shouldn't they all be in their extremely late 20s or early 30s by now?

I think they are supposed to be in their late 20s, even if they don't quite look it. Aside from the time gone by since they went to college, one of the first combinations Jay tries on the safe in Entry #28 is 1985. If that's his birth year, he would be in his late 20s, fitting with the time frame.

EDIT: The year of the timestamp in enttry #37 is 1991, so if the tape is to be believed, Alex was a young child in that year. This fits with the above two points, Alex would be in his late 20s or early 30s by this point.

So, we're pulling a sort of reverse Back to the Future 3, here. Michael J. Fox, who plays Marty, who is supposed to be 17, is clearly in his mid thirties by the end of that movie.

Well it's not been established in the form that it's part of the story or anything. I'm saying that it's been established in the sense that a week in MH time is not a week in our time.

Perfect example is Entry #32 and Entry #33 where in Entry 32 Jay says he's going to go right next door to Jessica's room but is uploading the entry before he goes over. 33 is supposed to take place right after 32 and yet it took a week before it was uploaded. I highly doubt Jay took a week to go next door, or even intentionally waited a week before uploading.[/i]

Yeah, that's because he moved to a new location during that time. Just because the video was uploaded a week later doesn't mean Jay took a week to walk next door.

He uploaded entry 32 then went next door, those events happened, and a week later he posted 33.

This is certainly happening in real time. Our universe and the universe of Marble Hornets is supposed to be the same. You have to remember nothing can be posted right as it happens, so there can always be a reason as to why it's not uploaded right away.

When I worked at a bank people would bring in jars of change that had more dirt than change. Therefore this video is perfectly valid. XD

Another example would be when Jay and Tim is entry 65 when Tim says he has to take Jay back to the hospital but first has to "check to see if he has a job" (i still believe this was a lie). 2 months later they finally go, now yes I know they ran into some OOG problems during this time, but Jay posted on the MH Twitter that they still hadn't gone because of weather, Tim having a doctor appointment, etc. Even with the in-game stuff, there is no reason to say that in-game it took them 2 months to go to the hospital. I mean it shows that it wasn't a case of something happening and Jay just not uploading it, it's just they hadn't done anything for two months, I'm pretty sure with all the shit going down, nobody would sit around for 2 months with their thumbs up their asses.
