This is what I thought too. I'm not sure Jay uploaded it. No text on the video, capitalization issue, etc. Maybe something happened after the battery died (Tim went Masky again, Hoody popped out, etc.) and Jay's still locked up somewhere. Or maybe this was just such a whole ordeal for him and he doesn't know what to make of it.

Either way, I'm sort of liking the idea that they were out for a week. At least it makes me feel better about having waited SO FRICKIN LONG.

Also, people will finally shut up about Jay being Hoody.

I don't think it was a week at that point, more like the next day. But that mainly because I don't believe Hoody has any special operator powers to incapacitate and wipe the memory of people for long periods of time. However I think that something happened after that day that explains why we it took so long. Maybe Jay and Tim are still stuck and this Entry was uploaded by TTA or maybe they were attacked by the operator and woke up today.

I dunno, I mean Masky kidnapped Jay in Entry #19, and Return showed he was in that weird trance state thing. He could have been like that for a few weeks.

As has already been pointed out, I wouldn't be surprised if this entry's script was tweaked a bit to bear some similarities to Slender. I'd do it in their shoes.

While not one of the "best" episodes I've seen (insofar as I'm qualified to judge such things), I enjoyed what there was. In the wild mass guess theory, I'm guessing that we're entering a sort of "omniscient narrator mode" here, tricky as that would be to explain in this series. I can see Masky following those two through the woods and recording them, with the tape from this entry setting it up.

Oh, about this being uploaded by TTA: If that was true, wouldn't comments be enabled? I know they were at first, but that was probably an OOG mistake. If comments were enabled I'd be more inclined to believe that this was hacked.

Please don't hate on my guys, but I'm pretty disappointed with this entry. Maybe I just hyped it up too much in my mind, but I thought it was anticlimactic. I figured we would at least get an explanation for why Jay waited so long to upload it, but perhaps that will come in a later entry. The video didn't get any reaction out of me or evoke any emotion, and there was no major plot development (aside from Tim and Jay possibly working together now, but that was to be expected).

I don't mean to sound rude. I know Troy, Joseph, and Tim have lives and not every entry can be fantastic. I know that my expectations were probably too high. But still, definitely not my favorite entry.

>Light on camera is on
>Tim runs right past him

Lol

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like he turned the light off and it's just night vision on its own

ALSO: Whatever happened to Alex?

Good entry.

About the eyes of the mask and the apparent blindness of Masky, apart from what has been said about the night vision of the camera, I think when Jay focuses mask is a bit higher than Tim, so we see her cheeks and little his eyes, this added to the limited field of view that can allow the mask could prevent Tim, see the record LED.

The sudden distance of Jay, when Masky tries to take it, may be because Tim has to go around the bush originally separated it from Jay, he's not a fucking cat (I'm against teleportations everywhere).

Hoody hut; apart from the doll can be seen on the floor papers, some strapped to a table with a big old clip full of rust, even seems that something singed, a reference to Tim hospital reports. This puts hoody as TTA in Roswood all the time, we can say that is a neighbor of Slendy, or maybe more than that.

Waiting for Entry #62.5.

With regard to the beard, am I right in remembering that it's been like two months since we've gotten a "current" image of Jay's face? 60, in the tunnel, right? So, unless I'm forgetting something I don't think we can read much into the beard, because we don't know what he looked like around Aug. 8. Good thought, though.


I like to think that he prefers to be clean shaven.

Tim said:
Quote:
Is it still working?


Thoughts on this: Either he wants Jay to say "No" so that he can throw a few punches, or he wants to know if slendy was around last night. Recall that Tim's camera stopped working in Entry #57 when slendy turned up, and that he never recorded anything after this. Jay's camera stopped working in Entry #23 after coming into contact with slendy and never worked again.

At first I thought the first one, because of Tim's body language and expression. He walks right up to Jay, hesitating as if he's thinking it over. On a second viewing it's probably something to do with slendy, since it's clear that Tim knows more than he initially lead us to believe.

Lack of texty context, yeah, that's bothering me. "Entry #60" at the start is definitely Jay though, TTA doesn't do that. I was looking through to see how many cuts there were, because if there were none (except the Hoody-cut in the middle where the camera was simply turned off/on) then it could be possible that Jay uploaded this in a rush and moved on to somewhere else, so he could upload the second half. However, given there's a cut during the driving he would have had to sit around while it rendered, which he wouldn't have done in an emergency. Unless he has awesome editing software that renders very quickly.

OOG stuff:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Given the OOG problems they've been having, and given just how long this took to make, I'm thinking this is filmed near the red tower and gazebo. That's over an hour's drive from Tuscaloosa, so with the car crash and moving house it seems reasonable that they wouldn't have a spare day for a three hour round trip to the woods for filming. They also spent a while on the script, suggesting they wanted to get it right because it would be hard to reshoot if they noticed a minor inconsistency. Anyway, I'd love to see the gazebo again, it was full of distortion for no discernible reason.

Probably nothing, but when Masky is looking straight at the camera while looking at Jay, it looks like there are no eyes under his mask. Like the masky mask has the black "eyeliner" part and then the eye holes... but I just saw white and nothing under there. No eyes. What was the deal with THAT.
Anyone else notice this?


I caught that too, I pretty distinctly remember masky having black lenses or mesh on the inside of his mask. The fact that it's suddenly white stood out to me. Provided hoody gave him the mask, why would he want to blind tim? *I assume that's what happened, tim seemed to be acting a bit blind in the woods, as someone has already pointed out.*

I may be completely wrong, here, but wouldn't the infared have some sort of baring on that? I mean, black things that are shiny look lighter on infared- maybe the mesh is just reflecting the IR better than the color spectrum.

EDIT: Ninja'd by mere seconds. Curses.


you're probably right. Matter of fact, masky did have the black lenses when he was first sighted in this entry. I think it's probably nothing then.

One more thought I had:
They once delayed an entry for a week or two so that Joseph could order an exact replica jacket so there were no discontinuities in the videos. Do you honestly think they'd make such a novice error?

Why would they have to order another jacket? Also great entry.

Camera and Blindness, my two cents:

1. Tim wanted to know what just happened to them both, and if it was Slendy-related, so he wanted to now if Jay's camera caught anything about last night or if Slendy fucked up the camera if he was around. That's really all I think there is to it, esp with Tim's body language, it doesn't seem threatening at all. More confused and nervous. This has happened before, he seems like he knows this situation, but at the same time he's not really 'used' to it. If that makes sense.

2. Bindness. I think it's just because of the night vision, and the acting blind is because it was the woods, at night. I think I saw Jay turn the flashlight part of his camera off once he was hiding in the vines, so if Tim has bad night vision or the flashlight screwed up his night vision, that would explain the vines scene, at least.

I remember back in my day we used to talk about what the entries meant, not just how they made us feel.

Regardless, it seems this video did quite a few important things.

1. It clarified that Hoody and Jay were never the same person, which means that we can now look back on previous entries with the certainty of this fact. (Not that this wasn't already very obvious.)

2. It gave us a location, that I believe was meant to become an important one (The fact that the baby doll was there seems to imply this). I am sure they'll be returning to this shack in a later entry, even if it's just the next one.

3. It implied a Tim/Jay team-up, which will obviously radically alter the way the series progresses. I personally see it as quite possible that Tim in fact uploaded this entry. That's why he got the tweet slightly wrong and forgot to disable comments, because he honestly doesn't give a shit. Think for a moment, if it were TTA/Hoody, they'd at least have left a cryptic message in the video comments.

4. It suggested a dynamic in the masked group that I hadn't considered previously, notably that of Hoody being the controller. If we look back at previous entries with two masked folks (notably the I'm-gonna-break-your-face-with-this-rock entry), they seem to be working together. This implies that there's something different this time. Maybe Masky hasn't yet completely returned.

That's my two cents anywho.

My tinfoil hat thoughts:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hoody planned this whole thing because he (or she) specifically wants Jay and Tim working together.

Think about it: Hoody has Tim back as Masky, and has Jay completely helpless. And what happens? They both wake up with a little cough but they otherwise seem fine. Tim's back to his old self, even! I don't think that was an accident. Hoody as totheark wants Jay to find the Ark, Jay and Tim working together might have a better shot at it.

The big question is Masky's role in all this. Did he know that this was the plan all along, or is he being manipulated by Hoody?

In the former case, then Tim can't be trusted here. Either Masky is pretending to be normal-Tim, or Masky has voluntarily decided to go back to being normal-Tim but could revert at any moment. In the latter case, I agree that it does imply a hierarchy within the masked crew, with Masky being the muscle and Hoody being the brains.
