Perhaps the operator gives you a distorted view on reality. To your operated brain, everyone seems like an enemy, and this paranormal creature is only hunting you. The recordings are modified by the operator to match your altered reality.


That makes a lot of sense, but I don't think we need to say that the recordings are modified. It could just be that the Operator focuses on whoever is recording him, and turns everyone against that person. Or I suppose it's just that the Operator makes everyone a dick, that much we know.

On another note, my main theory of everything is that Tim dealt with the Operator as a hallucination when he was young, and somehow found a way to release him into the world, hoping it would leave him alone. Maybe a ritual involving fire? Now the Operator is free to haunt everyone, but is attached to Tim somehow. Tim has always had special treatment from the Operator, he's gone to Oppyland twice now and come back.

 		All right so... here's a 3 AM stretch for you guys that I hope I don't get run over for.

Just rewatched hoody giving Tim that haymaker a couple of times in a row, particularly freezing the image at 5:01 and 5:02. I'm on my laptop and using Youtube, so I'm not 100% confident but... what are those pants Hoody's wearing? And when Hoody turns to lift their leg to go through that window....

Could Hoody be a girl?

 		I've always thought that in game TTA doesn't edit their videos to be how they are, but it's the effect of being messed up Operator style, and I feel this entry lends some proof to that.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Great operator in this one, and Hoody dropping the mask at Tim's feet looked sinister as hell.


All in all, great entry.

 		This entry was one the best of all Marble Hornets, until third unreveal. It was too much and kinda spoiled the entry for me. Otherwise - brilliant. Guilt theory has only been reinforced today and that's nice. 10/10 editing

Troseph have told us not to go by the build of the actor in discerning Hoody's identity - but, I'm a bit suprised the possibility has just hit you just now. Sarah's been in the running for Hoody's identity alongside Brian and Seth for quite some time now!

Last bit wasn't the chest cam. No fish-eye effect around the edges.


It doesn't look spherical because the horizon is lined up with the camera.
It still clearly has a wide field of view.

 		What a doozy!

Image if this were how Hoody and/or TTA lived for the past couple of years... no wonder the TTA videos are so strange.

At first, I couldn't get why Hoody was falling, but reading through this, he seems to be an victim of teleportation issues.

Not much stuff to discuss, though, or so I feel. Just waiting for the tape. I hate how the characters refuse to talk about what they experienced during those trips, or even what they thought when they went through the material before uploading it. Seriously, just a short notice from Tim at the end about what the camera he found was, how he feels about Hoody's fall, or even what he thinks about this trip. Man...

Also, I wonder what this thing is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):


It is shown right after Tim asks TO why he is here. It seems to be moving, and at first reminded me of that beating heart that was shown in one TTA. It seems to be located at the hospital, old equipment maybe? I also find the sound odd the follows Tims question. Is it an distorted answer? At first it just seems like a scream, but then it almost sounds like a voice, heavily distorted. I'll attach it. For those who are more apt in sound editing. is this wave-pattern or what you call it usual, or is it a hint that maybe there is more to be found in this track? "What do you hear?"
Spoiler (Rollover to View):


ps. Can you somehow "hide" the images in a spoile or something of that sort? Don't want to spam the page.

 		Hoody is certainly not female. A girl couldn't pull of that Hoody Haymaker. Also, he's likely not dead, but that tape...? Is that the same tape that we saw on him in entry #73?

 		All i have to say is, Tim going to pull off hoody's mask was the single most heart-pounding edge-of-my-seat moment I've ever had watching anything. Welp, that's all I've got, I'm gonna go out behind the barn to get put down because I can't handle life after that denial.

 		In its best moments I've described Marble Hornets as being impressionistic. Tonight's Entry signed off on that and sealed it with a kiss. Holy shit.

Are the edits from missing time or missing tape?

Is Jay dead or alive?

Is the Operator protecting Hoodie?

Is Hoodie dead or alive?

What is on the newly discovered tape???

Somehow this all leads back to the woods...

I haven't commented here recently because I felt ambivalent about the last few entries. They technically advanced the plot but without advancing the mystery or raising the stakes.

All that changed tonight. Holy shit.

It was my interpretations there weren't any actual edits. Time and space just got all funky and weird things happened.

Looked pretty corpstacular to me.

I was thinking more "coming after" than "protecting". He does show up at both the beginning and end of the chase sequence, and seemed to take Hoody away to that dark place where Bruce McWhiteshirt was.

 		Re: Code and Theories
Possible solution to Null and theories on Entry 83.
Doobie-Boo wrote:
Hey Everyone, first time posting, but I've really been giving some thought to both Null and Entry 83. I think I have possible solution for the code and some theories based on the new entry.So to start off with the solution. The code in Null is:

IA(Operator Symbol)NR
RPRYA
SIMHT
75EBX
84129
MRWIT

This code flashes 7 times before distorting with what seems to be Hoody's face to left of it. Now looking at the numbers sequentially from all the lines in the code (1,2,x,4,5,x,7,8,9) the 3 and 6 are missing. Well, the 3rd letter in the first line is the operator symbol, which seems pretty significant. So take the 3rd character from each line of code and we're left with (operator symbol, R, M, E, 1, W). So now there's the issue of the 6. Well there are only 5 characters to each line of code, however, there are 6 lines of code. So the 3rd character from the 6th line is null (which is the W). When you unscramble the remaining characters you are left with the message "1 MORE" (the operator symbol obviously being the O in MORE). When you pair that with the description of the video, I believe TTA is trying to say that there is one more location left.

Now my theory, after watching Entry 83 and with what I've seen in Null, is as follows:

Null seemed to be a sort of goodbye. The code flashed 7 times and then distorted with Hoody's face next to it. It's as if Hoody "nullified" himself by letting himself fall off the ledge in Entry 83. Which would make him the 7th person to have seemingly died and been taken away to the "Dark World". The 7 victims being Sarah, Seth, Brian, Amy, Jessica, that guy Alex attacked, and Hoody. Why Hoody would do it is unknown, but it seemed as if he was trying pass off everything to Tim. Like "Here take the mask and then you can have your pills", but Tim rejected the mask at first. So after a prolonged, acid-trip like chase, Hoody let's himself be killed and Tim gets the tape, the pills, and is forced back into Masky state. Hoody's torch has been passed.

In Null, TTA eluded to knowing Tim's secret for years, however, the were things he needed to "See" and "Hear". We, and more importantly Tim, saw a lot in Entry 83. I'm pretty sure he'll see and hear even more from that tape. But I think TTA's Quadrant entry relates to this as well. If you watch that video it's imagery seems remarkably similar to Entry 83, with frantic jumps between different locations and images of faces and people ghosting over the footage throughout the video. He taunts "Who Am I . . .I Am The Third". Now I know folks debate this, but I believe Brian was the 3rd victim. I also believe him to be Hoody. Now how can he be a victim twice, because as Hoody he is no longer Brian, he is "Null", Empty, nothing. Honestly, I'd be pretty disappointed if we didn't get to know for sure who Hoody really was, but I believe it almost doesn't matter. Whoever Hoody was is irrelevant, he's not anybody anymore. He's distorted and destroyed like Alex, but in a slightly different way. Because even though Alex doesn't wear a mask, he most certainly is not himself anymore. The mask just protects what little of that former identity is left. Besides, I think the 4 parts of the quadrant are all that remains now. . .Tim, Alex, The Operator, and the last location. Anyway, this just my thoughts, I look forward to some feedback and the rest of the series. Entry 83 was awesome!


Wait I think this is worth discussing but I can't completely understand how that long code can be deciphered to "1MORE". Smile

Around the 6:14 mark, it shows hoody coming up and grabbing the camera/someone, does anyone know if thats from a previous entry? Also is that Tim right before that frame looking at the camera? I'm on my mobile right now so i couldnt really catch a goo glimpse as to who that was. :/
These are just some thoughts that came about watching this entry and figured i'd throw my two cents in. Please if you'd like to add to it I would love to hear your thoughts!
/end wall of text

I believe you're referring to this? Looks like Tim to me.


UPDATE: It's Tim. Anyway, here are some strange people from various TTA and MH videos. Just in case.

From Quadrant:





Also freaky female from the same video:



From Decline:







Speaking of which...

From Decline:



From Entry #83:



Unhuman forms from Decay/Decline and Quadrant:







There is also one another face, it was black and white with half of face being obscured. I don't remember what video it was, though...

I'm pretty sure it's a classic fire bell. If you look you can see the hammer at the bottom. Looks like its badly charred, so it must have been one hell of a fire Wink pretty sure it's a nod to the hospital burning down along with the flames a few shots before.

Also: re: Hoody is female. - I see no evidence of this. When laying flat on the ground like that your stomach naturally goes inward a bit, so even on a guy it could make your chest appear elevated - especially wearing such baggy clothing. Look at his chests height in relation to his head.

Lithp wrote:
What the Hell is with all of the conclusion-jumping with Hoody? I don't see any damn boobs. I do see a triangular portion along his stomach that is raised up. Does this mean that Hoody's stomach is triangular?

Also, he is likely not dead. It is certainly possible to survive a fall from that height. While it would be serious if you hit the ground the wrong way, in an extra-narrative sense, it doesn't make any sense to kill him off in this way.


I've been saying this too, and I still haven't heard anyone actually respond as to why they're so sure he's dead Razz
