 		The WORST part about this entry is that JUST as I finished thinking to myself "Hm, well, the tunnel's creepy, but at least it's too small for him to be attacked by the Operator, he should be safe."
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
... THAT happens....


Jesus Christ, I haven't been terrified of the Operator in AGES. I find him creepy anyway... but this....

Fuck.... forget no sleep tonight. No sleep ever.

Also after frame by framing I gotta criticize that operator apperance

I don't think close up appearances of his face like that work too well. Entry 40 worked well bc it was only his body. In this one his face looks kind of wide and he has no neck.

And I kind of get what Troy is going for with the distortion, but if the distortion is what prolongs entries than I think less time could be spent on it. I love the split picture (top and bottom half of pic not matching up) and the distortion bars, but the 8-bit chunks taken out of the frame (sort of like entry 36) and random filtered operator faces probably take a while to edit in and go by way too fast for people to even notice them. Just my 2c

Slendy being in that tunnel just doesn't fit (no pun intended). I bet they were like "fuck our dumb fans saying he can't fit in there, lets do this just to prove them wrong"


I'm still waiting for you to make your own series so that we can criticize every minute detail of your storytelling.

 		Brix were shat, I can say that much...

Anyone else think the doll is something to keep the operator away rather than summon him? I can't imagine why hoody would have left it there if it didn't have some significance.

slendy in tunnel makes no sense

no sense whatsoever


Jay getting chased through a tunnel by the operator is cool, but incredibly predictable.


It makes no sense, but you predicted it?
Personally, I thought it would be Masky down there, to emphasize that Tim has relapsed. Or, that "HE IS A LIAR". Slendy was a little less expected, but I don't think it's too infeasible for him to crawl... I actually kind of liked how his arms moved around, reminded me of the old entries (before he became a statue).


It was predictable because it would have been a shit entry if jay went in the tunnel, found something, and then got out no problem. That's season 1 "we're not experienced yet" writing.

It doesn't make sense because even crouching, he is too tall to be face to face with jay's camera like he was.

If I was directing it I would have had jay walk through the building and see hoody's message, then as he's going outside he hears a "moo" noise behind him (similar to entry 40's operator noise) and then jay is chased into the tunnel and then have jay get to the end and find the folder and be like "well that's something, now how am i gonna get out with that thing guaridng the front" and then jay slowly advances towards the front, seeing no operator he hops out of the hole and looks outside to see the operator "shuffle walking slowly" after hoody who is leading him away staring at jay

 		Also, why does everyone think that Slendy CRAWLED after Jay?
Jay looks behind him, sees Slendy for the first time in the entry. Slendy is emerging from the area where the documents and the doll used to be. Then Jay looks back in front of him and runs as quickly as he can. He comes to the corner we saw before, TURNS LEFT (not behind him, LEFT) and sees Slendy right there, suggesting that Slendy teleported to intercept Jay.

Please don't be one of those guys who doesn't get the difference between criticism and hatred. I'm not saying I could do better than they could, doesn't mean i can't judge the material they put out.

 		Damn.

That was good.

Some great acting from Troy in this entry, particularly in the tunnel scenes...the close up of Jay's face was really hard to watch with Jay looking like a scared kid. Looks like he's going to crumble pretty soon unless someone starts helping him. (Maybe Jessica turns up in the next entry? Or even Brian?)

God, so claustophobic. Was anyone else expecting to find Hoody's corpse at the end of the tunnel? No, just me? Okay, then. Those footsteps, who are THOSE?


Hmm..personally I think that the doll with the eyes was meant to represent Tim being an operative of the The Operator, his eyes when The Operator can't manifest himself.

SLENDY RETURNS! Oh God, he's after me, no he's after Jay, it's okay, it's okay, let him take Jay, I kind of like him, but it's okay if it's not me. Really, it's not. Sorry Jay. Dear God, that got my heart racing and yes, I am waaay too obbessed with this series.



Entry #61 guesses:

Tim will approach Jay after apparently calming down and wishes to work with Jay to find out what happened during the. Together, they stumble upon something big (Sarah's address?). The tension in this entry will involve Jay's suspicion of Tim. This will continue on for several entries, as they track down Sarah (creepy road trip?) or continue their research into what happened.

They stumble upon something big. the tension in the entry will involve Jay's suspicion of Tim.

Brian turns up, it is revealed that he and Tim are life long best friends and assists Jay and Tim into their research in what happened. Jay wonders if it is a ploy by Brian (who he believes to be Hoodie) and whether or not he should open up to Brian, as he really needs someone right now.

Jessica will suddenly appear, with no memory of the time between her disapperance or no memory of Jay. (Which the latter would be intresting, personally, at this point in the story, Jay really does *need* someone he could turst or he's going to crumble completly. I really don't think he can cope with the situation on his own anymore. Of course, this position could be filled by a new character....)

Hoody will turn up at Jay's hotel room and deliever some mind numbing cryptic clue.

From the latest Tweet, in which - perhaps we find out more about Jay and why he doesn't have anyone? You'd imagine he'd have some friends or family to fall back on, particularly when things have gotten this bad. Perhaps The Operator manifested himself whilist Jay was visiting friends and family and his trip to find Alex and now has been as much been about protecting them as it has been about finding answers?

Further speculation:

Hmmm...from Tim's line about "What a great job you did protecting her [Jessica[?" does anyone else think that maybe Tim knows Jessica somehow? Friend, ex-girlfriend, cousin maybe?

I've still been pretty suspicious of Tim, but just because Hoody has told us he, doesn't mean I neccessairly believe it because Hoody told us so. Well that, and those side burns Smile

 		Last thing I want to mention

Big Op practically let's jay go in this one. He zooms up to jay in an instant, than when jay reaches the pipes he turns around and the operator is gone. Why even bother showing up down there if you're gonna let him get away...

I never thought about the slender doll's eyes before, and I hate how there is always one past entry to throw off a theory (in this case, 45)

Also I can confirm that there is no tentacle. The operator is only really visible twice. The first time he is literally sticking out of the wall sideways, the second he's right up in jay's face. Too blurry otherwise, and that was going frame by frame in sony vegas with increased frame times


I don't know about "tentacles", but the first time we see him, his arm does move.

Hard to tell the difference when I only ever see you post criticism. The last several entries you've been a buzzkill. It gets old. Just enjoy it like the rest of us, already. Jeez.

He's either reaching for him or waving hello.

Maybe you only browse topics the night of entires being posted? I post plenty of non criticism in the downtime between entries.

You clearly don't know the difference between hatred and criticism. I enjoyed this entry. I think things could be improved and since the trio reads our feedback, it might help them. I like to spice things up for them in between the 15 year olds shouting that they won't be able to sleep now.

Hey, look. Something that's not irrelevantly critical.
Seriously, you're worse than my mom.
