Interesting, I hope we get Entry #75 within a reasonable time frame cos waiting another 3 weeks kills the momentum.

I find Jay's state after Entry #72 most interesting. After all, Jay has encountered TO many times in the past but he's never had Tim there to see what it does to him. Perhaps Jay's been experiencing episodes like Tim this whole time but he/we have just never known about it?


That's actually a really great theory. Also, who else thinks there is going to be a role reversal where when they DO confront Alex, Jay is going to go into proxy mode if TO shows up and Tim will be the guy holding the camera, documenting like Jay usually does? Just a hunch I have.

Absolutely terrible. They can't write an interesting script worth a damn anymore. They are simply not putting enough effort into this series anymore.


Can u explain us why?


3 weeks to shoot an unimpressive, uninformative entry that doesn't advance the plot (even though people will say it did, no, it didn't. the act of them going to the house would be advancing the plot. all they did was tell us things from the last entry that they could have just made more clear in that entry to avoid having to shoot this one) in one take with not that hard to memorize dialogue. Either they really don't give a shit about allocating time to the series as much as they used to or they really have lost their creative edge entirely

MH has dropped from the definitive #1 slender series to like #3 nowdays and that's pretty ridiculous given the setups they had.

One entry to show them making progress, followed by one entry explaining that last entry, followed by another entry looking like it's gonna be something big just resulting them in finding past footage, leading to them making progress again. Throw in an unrevealing hoody entry here and there. They need to stop with these small entries and just make longer, more important entries. At this point they're releasing like 5 irrelevant entries to every 1 great one.


You have the same problem that people had in entry #63 i believe, where Tim tells Jay ''Ok we will work together and go this way''. What you are saying is true, happened twice during the series but at least this time they gave the answers (Or most of them) we were looking for in the previous entry. I do hate when they do this but i can appreciate that once in a while we get answers instead of more questions. It's a matter of taste, this time, i'm 100% OK with it

 		I bet 100 quid that Jay turns evil.

Anyone else think that looks an awful lot like the room where Tim had the seizure that TTA filmed?


That happened in Tim's house

I don't think I had a single question during this entry except for "when's the next one coming out?" and "Why didn't Tim mention the tape?," but these aren't very important ones.

 		I do have to confess a bit of disappointment with the idea that a being like TO can be combated with pills. I am glad we're at least learning new information to move the plot forward, but for me, this is kind of like that disappointing moment when I learned that the force was caused by midi-chlorians.

Who knows, maybe the confrontation can be the last Entry. But I doubt it.


I would hope that if they can subdue Alex they can get information on what happened to Jessica and the other members of the MH crew. If they leave the Jessica storyarc unresolved I'll be very mad.

I'd love to see an entry that contains an interrogation of Alex. I hope 75 doesn't just lead to the finding of more tapes.

It'll probably end up being Alex fucking up Jay and Tim rather than vice versa. I don't think we'll hear from Jessica again as she hasn't been mentioned in any previous entries. But it would be nice to see what happens.

 		I couldn't help but laugh when Tim pulled Jay the other direction.

 		Ok. I've concluded that when watched in one shot, this entry will fit. I am just extremely frustrated with the 3 week wait for a single afternoon shoot. Also a lot of this entry could have been avoided had they just used Joseph for the last shot in the previous entry, and had one of the pill bottles labeled "Tim W" on it

She was briefly mentioned in Entry #69:

Entry #69:

TIM: "Isn't Jessica the reason you're [Jay] still doing this in the first place?"

Oh, what's th--$^%%$#TEGDSGASFGA NEW ENTRY

Anyways, it does indeed appear that Jay is in denial, as others have said. I think perhaps TO has turned his attention on him and now Jay is deteriorating as Alex, Tim, and presumably Hoody has.

Also, I don't think those pills necessarily "combat" TO so much as fight off the mind-rapeyness. Poor Tim still apparently got hit hard, since he had a killer headache. Maybe that's what Alex was doing in his house. TO failed to mindrape Tim so now it's Alex's turn, I guess.

Of course, now they've also announced to Alex that they are coming to the house.

Alex will have it set up Home Alone-style with all manner of wacky traps! Entry #75's gonna be hilarious! Very Happy

True. It wasn't a very important reference but I guess she's somewhat in game currently.

Please restrict OOG discussions to the OOG threads. Cheers.

I realize that this doesn't contribute much to the discussion, but as an avid Star Wars fan, I feel that I should correct this.

The Force is not "caused" be midi-clorians; rather, midi-clorians are what allow living beings to interact with the Force.


Also, I like how this entry answered a lot of questions. (Pills, Alex, House, Jay, etc.) I'd also just like to state that people would probably be complaining more if this entry had not provided answers, or, even worse, spawned more questions.


Finally:
