It's not an April Fools Entry. The damn thing would have been taken down already seeing as it is now April 2nd. Stop with the paranoia over stupid fucking april fools.

Wow, there's a lot happening in this entry. All this time totheark has been making references to the contents of this tape, showing Alex that he knew what was on the tape. Alex's childish handwriting is parodied in Warning, the traffic light eyes make several appearances (especially in Classified), obviously there's the hoody.

Some things that bother me that'll need some reflection: Tim goes back to his house to find Jay not there after all. So there's some alternative reality thing going on. That'll be hard to unravel, given that it obviously happened in other places. (Perhaps teleportation isn't exactly what's happening, perhaps the operator morphs space around into weird geometries, rather than having characters move from place to place in our normal geometry, if you see what I mean.)

The whole BrianHoody thing makes as much sense as any other (I'd have mildly preferred Seth, but oh well) but in any case this changes things from previous entries. I'm going to have to look back at what happened around Entry #51 to see how it all makes sense. On top of all that there's still the Amy and Tim problem. I really doubt it was a coincidence that Tim just happened to go to school in Amy's hometown. There must be some other connection there somehow that we're missing, perhaps some sort of conscious effort to get Alex to go to Rosswood, or an excuse for Alex to move there without arousing suspicion.

I have a feeling this entry is going to break my timeline. Three new scenes? I'm not sure I have any pixels left!

Finally, the way Alex talks about the distortion makes it sound like it's not the first time this has happened to his camera.

Thoughts:

- 99.999999% sure that this is the start of the endgame. This Brian-Hoody connection is probably the closest we are ever going to get to confirming that, unless Tim stumbles across Hoody's corpse later on. On top of that, it feels right to have a bit of footage of how the guys were at the start of the whole thing, before the Operator found Alex and all this shit started, just to give a glimpse of how much has been lost - Jay is almost certainly dead, Brian if he isn't dead is a masked freak who lives in a love shack in the woods, and Alex and Tim aren't exactly doing well either.

- The timing of releasing this entry and the downtime since the previous one, combined with the fact that aside from scheduling this should really have been a very simple entry to shoot, makes me think they probably have another entry in the can to go on Alex's birthday. If nothing else, the final captions are on the video are pretty directly saying "come get me, bro/bra/brassiere" to Alex, so I'd expect a confrontation to happen soon.

In fact, I think they'd almost have to have most of this Entry some time ago so that Tim could have a chance to grow his now-customary sideburns back (and I suspect the intro might have been shot at the same time as Entry 83, since it could conceivably have worked as the ending for that). That, or the last entries are actually in the can and Tim shaved his sideburns to record this part last.

Oh, and for what it's worth I like knightmare's point about how Tim seems to have adopted the mannerisms of his MH character since the filming happened. Maybe he found it a comforting, secure persona or something? Either way, I liked how this entry gently tipped us off to the possibility that it was all an act and that all along Tim has been the scared, nervous guy trying to stay detached from the world we see here. Puts a whole different spin on a whole lot of stuff.

I think Hoody kept this tape on him to watch whenever his mind got wiped too many times. He probably keeps tapes to remind himself how this all happened. What he really should have done is uploaded all of the ones that were important to him and kept reminders of how to find them online. How much simpler this would have been for Tim and Jay if they found the Hoody youtube account and learned all his information at one time.

I agree that it seems ridiculous to identify Hoody based on an article of clothing from years ago. However, I think some people are overlooking the bigger issue: that Hoody would carry that particular tape on him. It doesn't have anything significant, other than Brian being friends with Tim. That is what the reveal was, not the clothing.
