The box likely indicates that Alex wanted Jay to walk away with only the non incriminating tapes.

This is regarding to those who think Jay is having more TO episodes due to a lack of twitter feed.

If you look through the chronological order of MH, you'll notice a trend (Note: i'm ignoring dates because i'm not an expert at dates ;P ):

- Jay gets curious about TO, investigates house
- Jay returns home, films himself and shows signs of slender sickness
- Jay moves away from his apartment, stops filming, returns seemingly normal

- MH PLOT ENSUES

- Jay and Jessica move into the hotel, being chased by Alex and TO
- They are assaulted by TO, Jessica shows signs of slender sickness, Jay gets f**ked by TO
- Jay attacked by Masky, moves far and stops filming, TO effects gone (or his danger is gone)

- JAY investigates his tapes, not filming himself, staying safe

- Jay returns and meets up with Tim, investigates TO some more
- Jay has two encounters with TO
- Inside the Tunnel with TIM, however TO attacks Tim, not Jay
- Inside the tunnel UNDER the building
- Jay escapes that tunnel, spared by TO <------------------THIS

We know TO is powerful, so why was Jay spared? I'm assuming that TO was happy that he found Jay, since Jay began filming again, he probably wants to toy with the lad first. So i'm assuming the lack of twittering is from once again, slender effects.

MH is more of a "finding out what happened in the past so we can deal with the present" sort of thing

If you ask me, the claim that "found tapes is the point of Marble Hornets" is a massive fallacy. Who the Hell ever said that? Marble Hornets can certainly work very well without finding tapes all of the time. We do, in fact, have long stretches of present day footage, so it's obviously not that essential. When they have to delve back into the past, there are other venues--ToTheArk, documents like those medical records could have actual information on them, Tim's & Jay's episodes of amateur forensics, & potentially characters letting information slip.

Like many other rebuttals, this is a false dichotomy that has been imposed on the series. Again, I am cool with the found tapes when they actually have something noteworthy on them, like the first few Alex attacks, which came as a big surprise.

But I'm also getting sick of the Found Documents Trope in general. I've seen it now in Dissidia Final Fantasy, Bioshock, Marble Hornets, EverymanHYBRID, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy XII, & probably some other things that I'm forgetting due to general grogginess.

Shit is starting to get cliche. What happened to the days when writers figured out ways to tell their plots without having background details literally lying around for no discernible reason but to be shown to you in a prepackaged form?

In terms of content, it was "aight." What I means by this is the only thing confirmed is that Alex is a HUGE fucking douchebag. Also that their memories get messed with. But that doesn't do much for me because I already knew Alex was an asshole (see gazebo scene), and we already knew that their memories are messed with.

In another sense, I was also dissatisfied. For instance, Alex's character was poorly done. If this was supposed to happen before entry 22, why in gods name does Alex look exactly the same is he did when he got his shit wrecked by tim 7 years later? No glasses and short hair. Very sloppy.

Where the hell is slendo? Isn't that what this whole thing is about?

I watched the burned tapes discovery entry again and I saw that there is another tape that could play. It's case is molded to the tape from being burned though. Realisticly speaking You could salvage the tape from burned tapes if you take them apart and replace the case and some of the tape that is melted. I still think there will be a tape that contains Entry #56 from Alex's POV I liked this entry also. I can smell a lets visit alex's old house entry and it leads to...
