True. It still made me smile, though.

I just realized: we didn't get an uninteresting, unspoilery, screenshot for this one. No wonder we were taken by surprise!

So excited for the next entry, not to say whats been said but its looking like we are seriouslly reaching the end, although after that whole "blog entry that it does not change MH ending early, it seems awfully soon. OHWELL Love it.


I don't think Hoody was helping Jay, Hoody wants Alex dead, and he has failed that so he is inticing Jay to do it. By splitting him from Tim first, and then having him use that anger. I think as others have, that Hoody works on his own.

I hope this means Jay is looking for Tim as a teammate and not an enemy. I hope so, anyway. ANYWAY- TO WIKI AWAY

Well then. I believe the endgame has officially begun. And it seems that the confrontation at 79 South Creek Road will indeed take place in Entry 79, as some had speculated.

I don't know how many entries they intend this endgame to take, but we are most likely very close to the end, considering how "BEGIN FINAL ACT" this video was. Maybe the ending is in the next few entries and maybe it's not, but either way the pacing is probably about to jump up, based on how this one seemed to feel, and even if there are several entries left they will probably be containing a lot of action/answers. It's never easy to be sure with Trosephim, but I'd say we're probably not going to get any truly filler entries from hereon out.

And this wasn't "filler", as it contained a key event without which the plot could not progress. The release schedule is a different matter- I now agree that we can't really equate IG time to OOG time anymore. In the past, they were clearly meant to be the same but we weren't supposed to think about the delays between entries too hard. But now? This entry had to have happened shortly after 77, but Jay's end text seems like he uploaded it immediately after it happened, and in no way indicates what he could've been doing between being freed and uploading.

As for why it was released now when it could easily have been filmed and released alongside 77? Because whatever they have planned for 79 couldn't have been shot in this time frame, and they didn't want a huge delay between 77/78 and 79. They have made it clear in the past that even when they have multiple entries ready (such as the hotel arc), they prefer to stagger the releases so the gaps won't be too large. So they'd probably think it would be better to release all three on, say, two week intervals or something than to have, say, a month gap between 78 and 79.

I am increasingly unsure whether I trust Hoody or not. I don't think he's on Jay's side so much as Jay has been roped onto Hoody's side.

On an irrelevant side note, I believe this is Jay's first proper face-to-face encounter with Hoody that wasn't a chase.

It was also interesting that even after all the "help" Hoody's given, Jay assumed Hoody was going to harm him.

I can't blame him. When you're helpless and a creepy guy whose face you can't see approaches you with a large, sharp knife, it's natural to assume the worst.

If he'd approached with the scissors, Jay probably would've been a bit less pants-pissingly scared.

God I freaked out when Hoody grabbed the knife over the scissors. I thought it was the end for Jay.

Also, definite EndGame territory.
"Last Chance"? A little ambiguous.
TO was clearly around, also Jay panicking looking for pills reminded me of Alex's stressed out movements in season 1.

I also found it interesting that Hoody abandoned his camera, so he clearly isn't as addicted to filming as Jay is. Probably insignificant though.

And if this thread carries on for another 30 pages I'll be very impressed.

Unless this was Jay's camera, that Hoody somehow got back from Tim...

I think if he had 2 cameras we'd have been shown clearly, but that is a possibility

Hoody must have gotten there pretty quickly, which lends credence to the idea I threw in on Entry 77 that he'd been tracking both Tim and Jay (moreso Jay than Tim). He probably really did go into the house within the hour.

Anyway, Tim and Hoody definitely aren't working together anymore, which implies that Tim really has forgotten pre-Entry #52.

Uh...

Are we seriously supposed to buy Jay was tied up there for 15 days with no food or water?


Lol, you guys need to start thinking outside the box. Things can happen well before they are uploaded. If Jay has any sense, uploading this RIGHT after escaping would have been a giant "TIM COME GET ME" beacon and he would have lost any advantage or freedom he'd have from having been able to escape.

I thought Troy's acting was very good in this entry, he managed to get fear just right with going overboard on it

I'm usually only a lurker here, but I feel like this entry's shortness made things kind of rushed and claustrophobic, in a good way. It seems like everyone's kind of going rogue now, and closing in on the same point, and a climax is right around the corner.

I have been thinking and they could even make all that IG=OOG time work simply if they made us think that Jay uploaded this when he escaped but programmed the video to be broadcasted today. It is not as if it matters anymore, but they could make up factible excuses if they wanted us to feel it is real time :/

To all the people complaining about the time between each entry

They have a life, if you know that this is supposed to happen shortly after Tim locks him up then just go with it

Really, even if it's a 3 minute entry it still takes time to make this, besides they have a lof of activities aswell. I leave you all with something to remember:

Well, the flashlight is the only weapon that Jay's proven himself proficient with so far.

It's strong against sideburn types
