 		I just had to register, so I can have a place to write my speculations.

I don't know if I'm focusing too much on this, but my mind is stuck on the word "nothing". This is not the first time TTA has used it. On Memories it says "You've done nothing". And on Sidenote Alex's line, "You've done nothing but make everything worse" is heard, then "You've done nothing" repeats while the words "This is the best part" appear on the screen. Maybe nothing is actually... something?

My guess is that "nothing" is referring to The Operator. For example, when Tim was a patient in the hospital, he used to run away from his "hallucinations". I would assume that when he was found, he was told stuff like "There's nothing after you", "There's nothing to fear" and "You've got nothing to worry about". Also, The Operator seems to be able to hide its presence from the minds of people looking at its direction. So if someone is freaking out after seeing TO somewhere, other people might say that there's nothing there.

But then again, it could just be nothing.

I like that theory, it fits into what others were saying earlier about a play on words. Totheark/Hoody (if they're the same person which I think at this point we can all safely assume is at least partly true) is obviously afraid of TO seeing as s/he's run from Oppy before, so it fits that way too.

 		My Theory
My theory (since I started watching MH between the break from S1 to S2) I always had a feeling that Tim wasn't the only TTA member. If you notice, in the earlier TTA videos, TTA uses the term "We" and "Us". I believe that the only 2 TTA members is Hoody and (used to be) Masky. In the newer TTA videos he uses the term "I" and "Me" Because, since Tim has been trying to stop being masky, Hoodie is now all alone. They're too far into the series to bring in more characters. Hoodie is obviously TTA, and Hoodie is Brian.

I believe that Sarah, Amy, Jessica, Seth and all remaining side characters
are in the tunnel but Alex believes he killed them. Hoodie is trying to kill Alex so that everyone can go free.

 		Lunulata, thanks for posting those. I was having trouble pausing on the right frames.

As others have pointed out, part of that film is the word "DATE:" -- which seems like a reference to Alex's birthdate, which was to have been his last.

The other bits might not be as obvious to young'uns -- it's the marker of a specific brand of film, in this case, Kodak PRO. (In the oldens, movies were made with film, not pixels or even tape. It cost a skorking wad of money and was a right pain to have developed.) Not sure what significance that would have, but TTA does put some strange things in.

Those dots in the same frame as Seth (I think it's him, too) look like pips on a domino to me. Anyone else see it?


They do look like domino pips but there isn't a domino with any along the bottom.[/quote]

Seth was in this? Did I miss something?

 		Besides the spectrogram this whole update feels like TTA got a little bit high.

@Serum A theory's popped up that this guy and Seth are one and the same. I can see the similarities myself.

 		I'm on board with the whole "nothingness is something" theory. As someone mentioned above, it helps explain why Hoody runs from the Operator. It could also tie into this being Alex's last birthday because he's been completely (emptied) Oppified so there's nothing of Alex left but an empty shell. I'm also pleased to think that there might be someone/something out there that's commanding Hoody...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it will be interesting to see what, if anything Trosephim make of this concept.

 		Well, I personally think that guy looks more similar to Seth than anyone else we've seen in MH. Doesn't necessarily mean it's Seth though.

As for the video description
canyousee
anytruth
atall

I've been wondering what it could mean. It could be directed towards Jay and/or Tim, wondering why the two of them still haven't been able to accomplish much, or "connect the dots" so to say. Or it could be TTA asking Alex if he realizes how far into the Operator's control he's fallen.

To me, it just looks like a generic thing that companies would put on film strips.

You know, most of the footage in here seems to be taken from previous entries.
The footage with that specific picture in it could probably be in a previous video where it's much more clear.

Then again, it doesn't seem like it would hold any information even if we did find out who that was.

There is a striking resemblance, I'll give you that. They're both thin, wormy guys with bad facial expressions-- but we shouldn't jump to conclusions.
