Looked like co-ordinates, then again there were three listed so might be something else.

Really liking the Broadcast Hijacking style that the TTA videos have been refined to.

It always amazes me how creepy totheark can be with a misbehaving VHS tape and a couple of numbers in jaggy font. Oh and that weird face thing. It reminds me of the Very Bad Fanfiction deleted scenes.

Very cool TTA entry. I agree that it doesn't really matter what the code is since it'll just be filler, but I kind of wish the guys had a follow up video planned for "let's go storm my house and get Alex!" and not "okay check in with you chumps a month after the events happened!"

Jay looked like he could use a few weeks to relax and a couple of beers before storming Alex's house. Probably what's going on.

Unfiction (user "americhat") cracked the code. Spoilered in case anyone here still wants to work on it:


If you multiply the numbers at the end by the number shown at the beginning it’s:

145225183.211854
14.522518
14.522518
20.18.21192

if any number less than 26 is a letter, this translated to:

nevercured
never
never
trust


Also the entry number shown at the beginning of the video translates to "liar"

Yeah even Unfiction posters were rolling their eyes before it even got solved. "WE GET IT SOMEONE IS LYING JESUS CHRIST SHUT UP".

I still enjoy these though, and Troy has made it clear that they don't want TTA's channel or the twitter (or anything other than the main YouTube) to be required viewing to understand the main story, so I respect that.

But they could still give us info that's non-essential to the overall plot the keep things interesting and make these worth solving/getting excited about.

Well, the information that "Nothing is cured." certainly has some implications. Maybe those pills aren't actually doing what we (and the characters) think they do.

Goddammit, What the hell Tim? If you want the guy to trust you, you need to tell him the truth. None of this obi-wan crap of 'It was for your own good', tell him the truth and that it can't be watched yet. I know Jay is persistent, but isn't it better telling him that there is something to fall back on if everything else goes to poo poo, than just straight up lying to his face?

That distressed me too when I saw the twitter screenshot :ohdear:

This tape should be pretty good. I mean they've been building up to it for 3 entries so it better.

Obviously Skimasky, Alex, and Tim all want J to see it (despite Tim's reluctance he really didn't make an effort to stop J) so I would have to imagine it's a tape of J himself doing some really bad poo poo. What else would he not be prepared for?

I have no idea what the note on the picture means.

sleeptalker
Feb 17, 2011

I'm starting to feel like there's some relatively unexpected things going on behind the scenes, things that Jay (and by extension, we) haven't really had enough clues to even suspect. I mean, of course Tim's explanation about the tape is pretty suspicious and casts a new light on his motives for working with Jay. However there's also Amy, whose existence Alex had apparently tried to hide (see entry #70). It seems like everyone's been trying to pull one over on Jay, really.

Maybe the guys really have had some kind of consistent master plan for the story all along? I'm pretty excited to see how this ends now.

Maybe it's just me, but if I knew someone had been living in my house intending to do me harm, I wouldn't take any pills I found there. Even if I thought I knew what they were.

Unless I knew that person actually wasn't out to get me and the two of us were just trying to trick people into thinking we were enemies. :tinfoil:

It's probably nothing though.

What if Slendy'd up Jay killed Jessica? That would be something that Tim would want to keep from him until everything is over, and would also explain all the "LIAR" TTA stuff in a way. I know it's out of left field, but it'd be a really good plot point.

If for some reason that's true, it would make Tim (as Masky) chasing J out of the hotel more interesting because it would have been to protect Jessica, which is the opposite of what was originally guessed.

Yeah I feel like there have been multiple episodes this season where I think "aw yeah, poo poo is FINALLY going to go down". Then instead they just kind of walk around, see something scary and run away :shrug: We'll see soon enough I guess!

Well, I was half right. Everyone they intended to confront had taken off and the episode was yet another anti-climax in that regard. Apparently posting a video on YouTube saying "HEY BRO WE ARE COMING OVER NOW" and then waiting a month to do so gives them enough time to escape? But presumably whatever is on that tape is going to be a Big loving Deal so hopefully something finally actually happens.

This time, it mostly wasn't their fault. Looks like TTA grabbed Alex before they got there this time, from the paper they found.

Is it just me, or did Tim or Jay (or both, really) seem to be acting pretty out of character. Jay seemed much more paranoid and Tim more secretive than they have been over the past few entries. Almost as if Slendy is having an effect...

One thing that's been bugging me about MH, especially since Tim started getting involved again, is how wooden and forced the acting seems sometimes. Which is odd, because I've seen the cast's comedy videos and I know it's not that they're bad actors because the acting in those is loving top-notch. I think they're going for a more realistic "found footage" thing but it seems like it doesn't work a lot of the time.

I took it as them just trying a little too hard to telegraph that Tim was trying to pull one over on Jay. There were like 3 separate times he said "hey can you go look in here? I have to go to the total other side of the house right now for, uh, like, reasons. and stuff. Oh, that tape? NOPE HAVENT SEEN IT :ninja:"

By this point Jay has more than earned the right to be paranoid. If anything it's weird that it took him this long considering that for years he's been stalked by supernatural horrors not to mention the real-life dude with a gun that hates him.

I didn't think Jay was being all that exceptionally paranoid, he clearly knew Tim was lying from the start, since you can see him zoom in on the tape in his pocket multiple times while Tim is trying to talk him into going away.
