Actually, Tim was on the ground from the Hoody Haymaker when Brian started climbing out a window. Tim tried to take a swing at him, but never even got a chance: Brian let go and fell one story to his death. That's actually why I'm open to Brian still being alive in some capacity or another.

If Brian/Hoody is still alive, that guy's got a back of steel.

Alex's probably at the tunnel, or the hospital. Tim said he never wanted to go back there in #58, so things could go full circle and he could head there willingly (in #65 he was in Masky state).

By the way, I don't understand some things that Tim says at the beginning. I'm not English, so I'm sorry if I ask for your help sometimes (unfortunately, there aren't transcriptions for new entries yet). At 2:34 I just get "I wouldn't trust myself [...] anyway", and at 3:06 I totally don't get what he says, just "[...] here, maybe actually (?) somewhere else".

@BetaPix: The context for the gun quote implied that he was feeling so depressed, anxious and isolated that he'd probably be tempted to kill himself if he had a gun lying around.

I was bored so I wrote a transcript for Entry 85, enjoy!

Entry #85

[White Text]: Entry #85

[Tim washes off the YOUR FAULT writing]

[Tim is drinking coffee]

[Tim is looking at the chest cam]

[Tim is playing his banjo(same one from 54?)]

[Tim is turning a lighter on and off]

[Tim looks at camera]

Tim: "I don't know what I thought was going happen, but I figured it would at least be something. Feels like I've been here for weeks and, no threats, no sign of Alex anywhere, just, Nothing. Maybe he's just waiting for me to do something stupid. Seems like every time I feel like I understand how all this works something else happens. I mean I thought the safest thing to do was leave Jay here when I went off to the school and even that didn't work out. Why am I the only one that's still here? I don't wanna be by myself again. This had been bad enough. Thought about buying a gun the other day, but I didn't. I wouldn't trust myself with one of those anyway. Alex is probably out there, right now, watching me and waiting on me and me waiting on him. I'm obviously going to have to do something eventually. Cause if he thinks I'll be in here, maybe I could be somewhere else... yeah, that'll work"

[Tim reaches for camera]

Tim : ''Shoulda started talking to myself sooner''

[Tim driving]

[White text: I decided to watch my house from down the road. That way if Alex did show up, there would be less of a chance he'd catch me off guard.]

[Daytime, still outside]

[White Text] : If he showed up at all.

[Night Time : Tim sees Alex at the house]

[Alex enters house ; he has some sort of lighter fluid with him]

[Tim gets out his car and runs to house]

[Tim enters house; the house is covered in said fluid]

Alex [opening doors as he says this]: "Where are you Tim? I'm not playing games! This is what you wanted right? Where you hiding? You in the attic?"

[Alex slams the attic with his gun]

Alex: "That's fine."

Alex: "This is all your fault."

Alex: "I thought it was me, but you're the source. You're the reason any of this happened. Everybody is gone BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU left Jay. YOU left Brian. Everything that has happened is YOUR FAULT! It's not going to end until you're dead. So tell you what, if you don't do the right thing and BURN to death, you come and find me we'll settle this. You know where I'll be."

[Alex leaves house]

[Tim watches Alex light the fire]

[Tim starts running, the smoke detector goes and he leaves the house, we see the house with flames visible in the window. He then runs to his car and ends the video]

[White Text]: If Alex didn't have a gun I would have gone after him when his back was turned. I wish I did.

[News on TV about a house fire]

[White Text overlaying video]: now my home and everything in it has burned to the ground.

[White Text overlaying video] : Alex has destoryed everything I have. I don't care what happens to me as long as he is stopped

[White Text overlaying video] : There's only one way this can end, and he'll hunt me forEver until it does]

[Video Ends]

White Text : I have to find him.

End of Entry #85

[Teedub]

That's a really nice transcript, however I did find one thing that sort of bugged me, lol.

[Sidenote]

Yeah, I see what you mean, changed it.

[Teedub]

Haha, thanks It probably didn't even matter. I get randomly OCD sometimes.

I think I realize now why Brian called Tim a liar. They were working together for a while trying to take out Alex, the whole time Tim was telling Brian that Alex was the origin of the operator, but when Brian dug into Tim's medical history he found that Tim had a history of hallucinations of a tall faceless monstrosity.
Tim probably told Brian that if they took out Alex it would end, but Brian found out and they broke ties... This would be about the time hoody showed up at the hospital.

Tim could still be lying about not knowing it was Brian under the hood, and he just didn't want the world to know he knowingly killed his best friend. If it turns out that Jay and Brian are still alive, that would be quite the reunion.

Okay, I have some more thoughts.

First off, I was wrong about Alex. Because of his almost robotic behavior in #80, I thought he was just a puppet of TO, with no will of his own anymore. I think this shows that while he's completely batshit, he is in control of himself.

He claims to want Tim dead because "this" ,which I presume means the whole Operator situation, won't end until then, because Tim is the source. But before that, he says "I thought it was me". That begs the question: if Alex thought he was the source of the trouble, why didn't he kill himself? He obviously thinks the source dying is the proper course of action since he refers to Tim burning to death as "the right thing". Is that just bare-faced hypocrisy? Or something else?

I once entertained an idea that would explain how Alex could murder everyone and still be the good guy: The Operator needs someone to be a 'host' for it (I'm assuming TO is a like a parasite, feeding off them in some way). Alex is the current host, but anyone who's had contact with TO could become a host if the current one dies. So Alex's plan was to kill everyone else involved with the MH shoot, and then, when he was sure no one was left, he would take his own life, ending the 'outbreak'.

That ties into something else I just thought of. Remember the papers Jay and Tim found in #72? The ones with the crossed-off names? Maybe it wasn't a hit list, per se. Maybe it actually documents Alex's early attempts to stop the 'outbreak' by finding Patient Zero. He would go after someone, but TO kept hanging out anyway, so he thought he was the source.

Alex obviously saw entry #84, and realized he didn't encounter TO until after he came into contact with Tim. So he thinks killing Tim is the solution. But maybe my earlier idea is right, and Tim's death is only step one. And Alex finally ending his own life is step two. But would The Operator let Alex kill himself if he's the only one left?

And speaking of, Tim said something pretty chilling: "I don't care what happens to me as long as he's stopped". What if Tim is the only one left? And is forced to take his role as TO's original host.

Shit. I think I just predicted how Marble Hornets ends: the monster wins, and the only character left -the one we've come to sympathize with the most- is permanently under its thrall. To me, that would be even worse than everyone just being dead.
