I really enjoyed this one. Not only did we see stop motion, but we now know the twitter picture was Tim and not Oppy (looks like I was wrong, derp).
Entry 61 will probably be Jay calling Tim and saying "You are not doing fine, Tim! You big liar"

Tim said he was getting better. It's possible Jay dragging him back into this has made it worse.

Holy balls. I have not yet watched this video, but when I clicked on it to watch it my entire laptop froze and went black, and for a moment I was thinking to myself "HOW MH, HOW??!?!!"

Surprised no one's brought this up yet...

When has Tim becomed Max Payne?

Anyway, not much to say here. It seemed like they made this TTA video just to buy some time...

Random Jaymasky speculation:

^That's an interesting idea, I'd forgotten about the face paint.

I had a Marble Bumblebee marathan a few nights ago so I kept thinking of this the whole time.

Here's where the picture from twitter occurs:



Motion blur of the camera turning right near the end, captures the light at the top and Tim's silhouette moving to the left side of the screen.

Incidentally, I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I like the link between maskies (hiding face) and slenderman (has no face).

Unless the title not being capitalized was an error, this fits with enttry 37 not being capitalized, and TTA rarely bothers to space out words or capitalize. Although since I still think Jay uploaded 37, I'm going to agree with those saying he uploaded this video as well.

I'm going to pop back up for a second (it's been a while?!) to re-state a theory that hasn't been in vogue for a while, but got some support with #60.5 there:

Tim's pills are anticonvulsants. One of the functions of an anticonvulsant is to "suppress the rapid and excessive firing of neurons that start a seizure" (taken from wikipedia). Neurons firing are electrical activity.

The Operator has some sort of undefined effect on electrical systems, and this could easily include peoples' brains. This could mean that, while Tim is taking anticonvulsants, he is immune to some of the effects of the Operator's presence. This could include the memory loss and disorientation.

Tim, when on his medication, could be keeping his memory far more than your average slender-stalkee, which could itself account for the 'Masky' behavior. Rather than an alternate personality, the mask is a way from keeping the Operator from specifically recognizing Tim when Tim decides to do stuff that he's learned (over many years, apparently, of being involved in these shenanigans) agitate the Operator -- ie, being on camera, taping TO, getting involved with people who are being stalked by TO. Anyways, we have evidence from the first season that Tim was taking the pills for seizures then -- Jay steals his pills, and the next time they meet Tim has an apparent seizure, and the pills get stolen back -- and this is the first time specifically that we see him taking pills in the current day. In this case the pills would in fact enable Tim to be Masky but not require it, and would mean that Tim's ability to be Masky is an act of his own agency rather than some mysterious split personality or proxy shit, so the taking of the pills would be a soft suggestion that he's back in the game, or a red herring, either way.

The continued knowledge of an eldritch horror hanging around would wear on a guy, though. Two theories: Tim could have at some point decided seizures were less dangerous than continued knowledge of TO, and stopped talking his pills in order to let his memory be wiped like everyone elses, or Tim could have put away the mask and distanced himself from all things Marble Hornets intentionally while still retaining the memories.

He does look upset or resigned as he's taking the pills in this particular entry. This part is just wild speculation, but he could be acknowledging the necessity of getting involved again, despite his better judgement.

Anyways, the main idea here is that the pills Tim takes in observation are anticonvulsants, and that the anticonvuslants themselves contribute to his ability to don the mask but don't require it.
