We could bitch about the fact that Jay hasn't tweeted about the tapes they found even though it's been at least a week. He hasn't even done a typical "tapes are not working, going to keep trying" kind of tweet.

Or we could talk about who our favorite character is. My favorite character is Jay. I relate to him because I am also a socially inept person outside of the internet. I also think he's gone A&B the C of D for putting up with all the stuff he has over the past few years. Most people would've just been like "Screw those missing people I'm done with this."

I've always identified with Tim more than any other character due to our shared hobby of wearing a mask and assaulting casual acquaintances in the dead of night. Mine's a Batman mask though.

My favorite character is probably Alex. Comes from my perception that he's actually a good guy, but has been so warped through paranoia & whatever The Operator does to him that he has episodes of psychotic murder streaks. In my opinion, this makes him one of the most sympathetic characters.

If Alex wasn't faking his little speech in entry 22 and truly can't recall the horrible things he does then that really would cast him in a much more sympathetic light.

Gen, we should go assaulting together some night.

Lithp, it was you who dealt the death-blow to my pet theory about Alex and TO, which held as its basic premise that Alex was evil, evil, evil. Your statements in that thread would suggest that you found Alex not-evil. It's just a short leap from there to finding that he's your favorite.

It was meant in jest, no offense intended -- that's why the emoticon was there. Or does the rage of Grammar Nazis extend to das Schmileys also?

Oh. I forgot about that thread. As a matter of fact, I forget what I ate for dinner last night. Actually, I don't think of my preferences to the Marble Hornets characters that much. I just tried thinking of which ones I like, & Alex came to mind foremost.

If he is, in fact, evil, I might still like him most. All depends on how they do it. If they make him twirl his mustache & devil beard, probably not. Then again, that could explain why they're having him grow his facial hair out.

The thing to remember about evil people is that there is a path of logic you can follow that makes them seem.. well intentioned. Hitler, for example was trying to improve the human race going into the future (in his own mind). Probably one of the worst people in history, yet most of his actions are summed up in that sentence, which is well intentioned. I hate stories that have evil characters whose motive is to break and destroy, as that's not often the case in the real world.

I imagine Joseph just doesn't want to have a terrible beard for months to shoot these videos, & they are bad at makeup. Nevertheless, I don't see it as such a big deal. Alex probably has to keep up some pretense of normality, or how would he buy food, find places to live, & keep his waste from piling up?
