- footage is from the previous day
- "I live next to Brian"
- "I haven't heard from Brian either. Not for quite a while actually."
- "You'd have to ask Brian"
--> no indication whatsoever that Brian has been gone for longer than a few weeks at most
- the first TTA video was uploaded 2.5 months (10 weeks and 2 days) before this

- footage is from the same week / a few days before
- someone from TTA is in the house with him (Attention)
- anonymous tip might have come via Jay's AIM that is never given directly (afaik) but that he mentions on Twitter a few times (e.g. 29th Sep 2009)
- the pill bottle is full when Jay takes it and there are more --> those were Brian's --> which means he must have had them prescribed at some point --> which means he must have been seeing a doctor for his symptoms - compare Tim and later (Entry #75) Jay

- pills & bullet casing are missing
- "At the tower" written on the page Jay took in Entry #16 is a clue meant for Jay specifically so it must have been written on there when Masky was in his apartment in Entry #19

- Alex is in a good mood so this is probably from early in the production
- this is long before Brian would have had direct contact with the Operator so him not being there is not significant

- this is the footage from the tape Jay found at the red tower where totheark left it for him
- they are in some basement, most likely the abandoned hospital or the larger building next to it
- this footage takes place on the evening / night before Alex went to the hospital with Brian (Entry #51), earlier on the same day he was there with Tim (Entry #56)
- Alex states that Jay, Tim, Brian, Sarah and Seth are "gone" so he presumably recorded this after he tried to kill Jay (Entry #71)
- "I'm going back to my home" --> the next time we see him (Entry #26) he's living in Rosswood Town
- I don't know why and how totheark would have this tape but I just try not to think about that too hard

- footage is from 4th April
- Jay received a text message with the date 18th April on the same day
- on 18th April he received the package containing the tape
- he changed his location in between receiving the text message (4th) and receiving the package (18th)
- the Operator shows up at timestamp 04:04
- Alex keeping the camera hidden and wanting to get rid of it and TO showing up right then heavily implies that actively being filmed attracts it somehow

- also Adam Rosner jumpscare in the UF thread lol

- Jay found the "noentry" video on his laptop's hard drive
- the footage is most likely from right after Alex killed the guy in the tunnel (Entry #49) so Fall 2010

- youtube video description: "memories"
- for two days before this video was uploaded, Jay was unable to sign into the Youtube account as he documented on Twitter
- on the day before this video was uploaded he complained about a headache and hearing things and finally stated that he was going to sleep
- six days after this video was uploaded, Jay returned to Twitter revealing that he woke up near the red tower back in College Town with no memory of how he got there most of his things still in Rosswood Town and the footage on his laptop deleted

- when the Operator appears, the timestamp in the top right corner is replaced by several other dates in quick succession, all of which are related to death (deaths, disappearences, plane crashes, ...) -> see here

- little continuity note on dates, ages and places:
  > there are 5 or 6 six candles on the cake, making this Alex's 5th or 6th birthday party
  > that means his birthyear is either 1986 or 1985
  > in Entry #22 Alex states that he is "going back to [his] home" and the next time we see him is in Rosswood Town
  > in Jay's first post on Something Awful he states that Alex has been living in the College Town area since he was eight
  > so this footage was filmed while Alex was still living in Rosswood Town

- footage takes place in 2006, the day after Alex went to the hospital with Tim (Entry #56) and Seth (Entry #22)
- it's highly unlikely that Hoody remembers the events shown here and he wouldn't have had access to the tape or this footage either so it's interesting to think about how he might have felt about seeing this (Bad. i imagine he felt Bad)

- Tim doesn't remember his trip to the hospital with Alex at all
- Hoody's plan here was for Jay AND Tim to go into the room he came out of, read the message (the "He is a Liar" line is referring to Jay), follow him into the tunnel and find the medical records TOGETHER because then Jay would have been forced to come clean with Tim on the spot
- this is confirmed in the DVD commentary

- the words "You are a failure" appear for a single frame
- Hoody still has Alex's gun
- like I tried to explain here, I think the reason why Hoody reveals that Tim has been hiding the Entry #76 tape is because at this point he wants him and Jay to split up again

  > Jay arrives at the College, encounters Hoody and starts following Tim (#79)
  > Tim returns to the College and finds an entrance into the basement (#81)
  > while following Tim, Jay finds the room where Alex was held previously (#79)
  > Jay trips over a chair in the basement and returns to the building next door, where he waits until the next day (#79)
  > Tim tries to open a manhole cover but can't find a crowbar until evening so he also decides to wait until the next day (#81)

  > Tim makes his way through the sewers into Benedict Hall (#81)
  > inside, he spots Alex, starts coughing and runs out to his car (#81)
