 		I never really bothered to question why there were a bunch of cameras in an antique store. Were they antique cameras? Is the area known for photography?

Yes and probably not. Although I know it's a college town out of game and arguably a college town in game.

 		1. How the fuck did other entries' footage appeared in some other ones? (E.g. dead Jay in #86) I still don't understand what happened here, you can also see stuff that was recorded with a different camera in the tapes of some entries (like #83), and even some events that otherwise would have never been caught on camera (e.g. the hospital burning in #83). Is this some kind of shit TO is pulling off? Does this have anything to do with TTA's videos? Does this mean not everything in the TTA channel was editing, since it could be just footage being messed with by TO (IG)?

2. There are a few TTA videos that were never really explained or deciphered (deluge, indicator, memories, classified, session, etc) and lots of other random stuff TTA came up with that nobody could understand (besides the Ark itself), I guess we will die without knowing about these, unless Trosephim comes up with some kind of video commentary that explains these messages

3. What is the origin of the name "The Operator"? Where did this come from, and how did Alex/Brian knew about this?

4. What the fuck is behind that strange door at the hospital (the one Tim points at in #65)?

5. Who the shit filmed #29 and when the hell did it take place?

6. What's the deal with enttry #37?

Sorry for all the swearing

These are some of the questions I'd like to be answered, there are other things that I'd rather have them left as just mysteries (where did TO take Alex, what happened to Alex/Jay/Tim in #50 that wasn't caught on camera, what happened in #12/#17/#20, among other things)

TO was in Tim's apartment (when they were discussing music). And Tim just walked past him like it was NOTHING. Couldn't he see him? Was he so used to him by now it no longer scared him? Did he think he was a hallucination? Or was Tim setting the others up? Or did Alex bring him?

I always thought Tim just filmed TO but he didn't actually see him, he just passed the camera in front of him

 		I thought that the swearing was funny. I completely forgot about ToTheArk. I could never understand any of it, & what was decoded seemed to be mostly unimportant.

 		Oh, and another thing, why exactly did Brian feel the necessity to keep his identity hidden?

This isn't that interesting when you think about it. There are plenty relatively normal said TTA could have done this. Since he was always stalking Jay and sneaking through his stuff TTA could have found written down passwords (which Jay may have had to do if he was constantly changing them), or TTA could easily install a keylogger on Jays laptop.

What is more interesting is, how did TTA always know where Jay would be, how did he get there so quickly? If Jay decided to drive to Tosswood, how does TTA make it there first?

 		What happened during the YEAR where all that Jay did was show the videos of what happened during the 7 months missing from his memory. like, what has happened in the present while Jay uploaded Entry #34 - Entry #52. Like he didn't run into our tall friend and he was never in any real danger apart from headaches and some paranoia, so if he just watched the tapes and chose to not talk to Tim, and just move on wouldn't it all stop?

 		What did Alex tell Seth to get him to investigate the boiler room with him? Did Alex ever tell any of his friends what was happening to him?

Yeah, the whole story is this: "Jay's curiosity almost gets himself killed....and then does"

I thought he told Seth they were looking for Brian and Tim (and Jay? I don't remember). Since Seth was late to the shoot. They all took a trip up to the hospital for the weekend but Seth arrived late, so while they waited Alex took everyone to scout out the place. Then took them all out, except Tim, who "escaped". So when Seth showed up, Alex told him they went missing at the hospital so he pretended to look for them with Seth until they got to the basement. (Or maybe he actually did forget that he caused them to disappear)

I'm going from memory, so some of those facts could be wrong. Please correct me if so.

[RANT] - On Topic

Is anyone else worried that we won't get anymore solid answers to this series that we all love so much? It seems as if every entry since the reveal I've been sitting there with an anxious feeling that i'll never have answers we need.

The theories and speculations developed among the community, to put it bluntly, are run-of-the-mill pseudo fan fictions that are built off of people's imaginations rather than concrete evidence or facts. 90% of the time I read the theories posted on Unfiction and shrug my shoulders when I should be nodding my head saying, "That makes some sense, and I can see how you got there."

I know not everything must be answered, but we still should be given enough answers to allow ourselves to develop our own answers that make sense to others instead of causing fights and ridiculous theories that no one can prove right or wrong.

I'd like to know if anyone else feels something similar. I'm not angry, but i'm kind of concerned for the series because I enjoy it so much.


I agree. I'd say if there were three questions we deserve answers for its:
1. What is the ark?
2. Why was Brian/Hoody/Tim/Masky/TTA/everyone so obsessed with it?
3. Why (without revealed much about TO) was Alex "chosen", for lack of a better term, by TO after Tim. What do they have in common? Hell, what do they all have in common?

Didn't a lot of the early MH tweets contain location data, or am I misremembering? Not that it's relevant to the plot, but I seem to remember that being funny when I noticed it.

I think Entry #84 suggests that. Alex was insecure, and it's not much of a stretch to think that he may not have been popular and may even have been something of an outsider, even if he was able at faking confidence. Tim's from the margins, and at the audition he lacked the swagger he showed (later in the chronology of events but earlier in the entries) after joining the MH cast. Tim being on camera for a prolonged amount of time (and interacting with Alex) seems to have been what helped the transfer to stick.

Both Alex and Tim seem to have become more assertive characters at the outset of the Marble Hornets filming. For that matter, Jay seems to be kind of an outlier, too. We don't know enough about his background, other than that he was a film student and that after that and the memory reset from TO, he was living (if I'm quoting correctly) "all alone in a crappy apartment, doing nothing"). As for the others, those who died and were taken (or Brian, who wasn't killed in Entry #51), they just were part of the MH film shoot, and Alex believed that they were, for lack of a better term, infected.

We don't really have that much demonstration of that, though--just that Alex and Tim were, that the two (Jay and Brian) who somehow survived either had little memory of the MH shoot (though who began showing signs of the sickness once he started watching the tapes Alex had given him, so maybe he had been contaminated after all?) or were deranged, and that Jessica may have been affected somehow (given the distortion she showed on camera in her last appearance at the hotel before she disappeared). It's possible that the widespread contamination is Alex projecting onto everyone else. That doesn't seem to be how the trio's going, though.
