@VcSaJeni don't understand your need to clarify that when it was specifically the blue bucket that Mark looked at repeatedly. He barely went anywhere near where the red bucket was, since he never went over by where the shovel bridge was.
Moose is a real one though - He knew that Nate needed a lantern, and recognized that Nathan struggled to accept help, so he posed it as though Nate was helping *him* instead. Yean, I'm a big fan of Moose
Yea that segment cemented moose for me as a bro. Musta heard them arguing as he was chilling so grabbed two lanterns to seem like he was in dilemma and coax Nate into helping him so he’d know Nate was fine. He’s a real one always looking out for him.
@clowntown3oh I know. I was trying to hint at it without saying it. It's not even really subtle. Nate outright gives him a kiss before going out to take on a walk. When I played the game Moose even adopted the three chickens that followed me throughout my journey. It was so worth it to never abandon my chicks. We were truly a family.
This and Snowrunner. I cannot tell you the amount of times I thought "Oh this'll be a shortcut!" or "I'll just load this truck real heavy and one trip!" only for my 15 minute adventure to turn into a 2 hour cleanup duty.
Exactly!! Watching Mark say he wasn't even rushing while obviously rushing and making several mistakes because of it, only to then be amazed at how easy it was to get up the steps once the ice melted and he was no longer rushing was so fustrating yet so relatable- minus not even thinking he was rushing. I know Im rushing when I am. I think that moment with Mark was a PERFECT analogy and example of how ADHD affects the lives of those with it. It blew my mind how perfect it was
It's funny how these RUclipsrs when controlling Nate(main character) all walk a little bit differently with him, and Markiplier's walking style is, "I need to speak to your manager."
Poor Mark hasn't figured out that the map endlessly loops in both directions yet, and that the firetower he was heading towards was actually the further away mirror version of the firetower from the loop and that there's a closer one in the direction he wanted to go in the first place.
@blackcat8104 I think once you get high enough on the mountain the looping becomes far more apparent, especially when looking back down at the lower landscape from a higher point since you can actually see the repeating landscapes from that height. Like I remember the manbreaker loop is so obvious you can see the identical staircases up to both the left and right in the distance. I kinda doubt he'll make it through the whole lets play without catching on about the weird looping map. He already almost caught on the very first video when he wondered how he made it back to a place he'd already been when going the opposite way.
Haven’t beat it myself but it really seemed it watching him look back and forth it seem odd the area round both towers would identically meld. Neat trick then to keep people on track in someway and give them sense of exploration without getting to lost then.
I noticed it straight away. But I always think of Pinocchio when I see donkey characters. Same with Donkey in Shrek. I just assumed it was a Pinocchio reference
I feel that Mark’s fear of the ocean and subsequent avoidance of beaches 90% of the time has led to him not understanding how sand dunes work. It doesn’t matter if it’s not steep. You will slide. Because sand moves.
He didn't notice how HUGE those sand buckets and spade were or the fact that he was making Nate (this game's main character) walk around giant sandcastles.
I’ve always thought this but Lixian’s editing is so good I can’t tell if some sound effects are actually in the game or if he added them in. edit: I always check the description to see who is credited for the editing! Lixian has a distinct style and there’s always something in the fine details, like changing the spelling of on screen subtitles to match Mark’s mispronunciations or adding sounds to the smallest of movements. he is so good I literally have to watch and compare with other playthroughs to see if something is an edit or not 😂 🤙🏽
Mark I beg of you please if you see a giant spiral stair case go up the mountain instead because you will be rewarded with one of the funniest bits in this game
Honestly, mad props to Lixian for the editing on this, all the little sounds, the "subtitles" for each time Nathan does a little yelp, moving the camera around so that we can see what's behind, and so much more! Your time and efforts have not gone unnoticed, and are much appreciated!
This video makes me wonder if Mark has ever actually walked in sand before? Nate slipping on a 45 degree angle sand dune and Mark's like, "IT'S NOT EVEN STEEP!!" 🤣🤣
Also, he questioned at one point if you’re more likely to slip while holding the ice cream. I was yelling YES MARK ITS MELTING AND MAKING THE SAND SLIGHTLY MUDDY. 🤦♀️
37:40 You meet Mike at the first checkpoint (the bright light in the first area that Jim tells you to go to), where there is a big candle and another pot of goop. You skipped it because you got distracted by the side quest, went to the watchtower, then went up to the second checkpoint. He basically just explains that you're both new here, and that Jim has given him a map and some gear; Nate claims that Jim thinks Nate is too skilled to need those things, to avoid accepting help from Mike (who is incredibly trusting of Nate, and seems to see a connection between them due to their shared newbie status). It's also another point where they imply there being more to this place, and hint at some of the themes. I think that's all you need to know for later cut scenes with Mike to make sense.
I was really curious what would happen when Mark skipped the first campsite - I'm glad it wasn't as punishing as it could have been (not triggering at all) but I'm also a little sad that they didn't account for continuity. The game is otherwise very lenient with player choice, everything is optional and other cutscenes are more like rewards for being thorough.
I have noticed that markiplier has greeted us every time for such long time and we never greeted him back, so let’s all collectively say hello to markiplier
I like Jesse. He seems like a nice donkey. If they're making a comment on social anxiety, ass-Ethan's the scumbag that takes advantage and Jesse's the good friend who works with you, encourages you, and sometimes sneakily gets around your dumb brain so you take a lantern. Be a Jesse.
The one who gives him the lantern is Moose, not Jesse. Jesse is the gymbro one in the blue hoodie, Moose is the one in the lumberjack shirt, and Ethan is the bad influence one. Moose is incredible though, I agree, and him and Nate's relationship is super heart-warming.
@Spider_Mike023 Jesse doesn't seem too bad either even though he's hyper. He was the one who encouraged Nate to wish for what he wants and not to be pushed into fulfilling other peoples desires with his wish in that scene where we first meet Jesse. I think that says a lot about his character.
I like that this 100% improvised game has more compelling lore and funnier dialouge than all of hollywood right now. Like I actually want to know what Nate's wish will be or what the ending is.
Watching Mark say he wasn't even rushing while obviously rushing and making several mistakes because of it, only to then be amazed at how easy it was to get up the steps once the ice melted and he was no longer rushing, was a PERFECT analogy and example of how ADHD affects the lives of those with it. It blew my mind how perfect it was
I wish he knew the game procedurally generated the same area left to right. That far firetower was closer to his left and up than right and all the way that way. 14:42 HE SAID IT AND HE DOESN'T KNOW HES RIGHT
@claranadine1086 thing is, all of them are Improve lol Especially the Ice Ice Cream part, if you fail more than 10, the VAs starts laughing and shitting themselves 😂
@claranadine1086"Improv" is spelt like "improve"? I assumed otherwise. After consulting the browser, it seems "improv" is short for "improvisation" & "improve" is a different word.
@Dier12633he's not. The game is pretty forgiving in the sense that when you make it to a new area, there's very little chance of falling to an entirely previous checkpoint. Especially this particular checkpoint.
i like how mark's anger at this game (at least in the way it sounds in his voice) sounds more like he's like, personally mad at the main character like a disapproving/angry parent than he is at the game being hard to control or him being bad at it. it feels oddly fitting given the backstory we've seen thus far of Nate's whole journey up to this point.
18:51 it’s so funny watching Mark completely lose, ignore or fail to notice clear paths toward where he’s supposed/trying to go, he’s like Zoro from One Piece
Like the idea moose was in there chilling and prolly overheard them arguing bout the lanterns so he picked up two near him in there to have his own dilemma about being a gadget coaxing Nate to take one thinking he’s helping him out when moose actually just sees how Nate ticks and so looking out for him gets him to take one in a awkward fashion. Odd but I like his character this whole game always looking out for Nate seems.
21:00ish… missed the Bucket cutscene 37:43 Yeah. Jim’s the guide at the beginning and Mike’s the guy who u skipped being introduced to earlier at a campsite
I feel like this whole game is a dream the guy is having after going to sleep whilst needing to pee. So his dream is full of things that are just reminding him he has to go, such as having to travel somewhere for a ‘wish’ maybe implying a trip to the restroom is what he would wish for, and everyone running around with no pants so he even has a visual to remind him of wanting to go pee. The ice cream that’s actually just ice that he feels the need to carry quickly to a destination maybe symbolizes urgency? The more random stuff like the campfire parties, the call from his dad and all his pals having horse heads could just be normal dream stuff. I think he’s just dreaming while holding it 😅
I honestly really appreciate that he does 2 series at once sometimes, if for any reason someone isn’t vibing with one of the games they can just watch the other one and won’t have to wait for the game they don’t like to be finished
So sad markiplier didn't go through all the cutscenes with the icecream man, don't even try to do that challenge just go through all the cutscenes, it's some of the best in the whole game lmao
18:29 - "Why couldn't I see that from where I was? Why couldn't I ever see that? That was just not there." Friends of Markiplier; he could see that from where he was, and it was there. If you look back, it's on-screen multiple times, including when he turns round after scouting at the top of the staircase. (It's also, I believe, the same watchtower as the one he's going for, thanks to the looping world.)
man i know this is a common thought but seeing mark upload multiple times a day really makes me realize how much i have missed him, like i listen to distractible but it's also the combination with lixian's editing
Markiplier last part: "Oh the mud isn't actually that bad." Markiplier this part: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere."
I think this game might be a metaphor for overcoming addiction. At least that's how I interpret Nate's struggles. The constant uphill climb, the desperation followed by relief when you get a quick fix (the white liquid he drinks), immediately followed by reality crashing in on you when the high wears off. And then there's the refusal to accept help. People will try to give you tools or advice, but you're so entrenched in your own shame and guilt, that it feels wrong somehow to accept it. And the peer pressure to join in, to not do the healthy thing. I don't know, I relate to the game in that way.
I also liked someone saying that Nates journey is a metaphor for someone going through life while being very neurodivergent. The initial goal is to find a bathroom so Nate can pee. However he keeps coming across tasks that have nothing to do with going to the bathroom, getting more and more side tracked with every passing day. Every task is almost insurmountable and takes so much extra effort to accomplish. The way he is also very awkward when speaking with the NPC's, with some of them mocking/belittling his efforts is telling. BUT he trys his best anyway, and that what makes me smile. 😊
@sarajohnson6855 I think yours is just canonical. In one of the hat cutscenes (Propeller I believe) the mom outright says you have a disorder [something along the lines of "He doesn't understand your disorder" in relation to the father] so there's a high likelihood you're right or that other person was right

"It's not even steep"
©Markiplier while standing on a 60° sand dune incline
While walking on his toes... yeah NOT steep at all!
hes trying to gaslight the sand
It's because he's the GOAT
thats how you know he's from Ohio.
Lol came to the comments hoping someone else talked about that😭
I can’t believe how many times he looked right at the giant bucket and never even acknowledged it
I honestly don’t know if the bucket matters or not, but it is very conspicuous
@MxBryn There's a cut-scene involved with that bucket if you push it off the edge. That's its only purpose.
@MxBryn pretty sure just like the mini village it might have been a cut scene or something
@Sardonicus-Smiles That's the blue bucket. There's also the fruit near the red bucket.
@VcSaJeni don't understand your need to clarify that when it was specifically the blue bucket that Mark looked at repeatedly. He barely went anywhere near where the red bucket was, since he never went over by where the shovel bridge was.
Moose is a real one though - He knew that Nate needed a lantern, and recognized that Nathan struggled to accept help, so he posed it as though Nate was helping *him* instead. Yean, I'm a big fan of Moose
Didnt catch that, nice find
Yea that segment cemented moose for me as a bro. Musta heard them arguing as he was chilling so grabbed two lanterns to seem like he was in dilemma and coax Nate into helping him so he’d know Nate was fine. He’s a real one always looking out for him.
I think Moose and Nate would make a cute couple.
@Sardonicus-Smiles spoilers kind of
They basically are at the end of the game
@clowntown3oh I know. I was trying to hint at it without saying it.
It's not even really subtle. Nate outright gives him a kiss before going out to take on a walk. When I played the game Moose even adopted the three chickens that followed me throughout my journey. It was so worth it to never abandon my chicks. We were truly a family.
This game is the embodiment of "nothing wastes more time than trying to save time"
This and Snowrunner. I cannot tell you the amount of times I thought "Oh this'll be a shortcut!" or "I'll just load this truck real heavy and one trip!" only for my 15 minute adventure to turn into a 2 hour cleanup duty.
the neurodivergent way I spend countless seconds or minutes focused on how to win-max kitchen tasks or other chores
Exactly!! Watching Mark say he wasn't even rushing while obviously rushing and making several mistakes because of it, only to then be amazed at how easy it was to get up the steps once the ice melted and he was no longer rushing was so fustrating yet so relatable- minus not even thinking he was rushing. I know Im rushing when I am. I think that moment with Mark was a PERFECT analogy and example of how ADHD affects the lives of those with it. It blew my mind how perfect it was
chill brocrates its a walking simulator
It's funny how these RUclipsrs when controlling Nate(main character) all walk a little bit differently with him, and Markiplier's walking style is, "I need to speak to your manager."
he does make nate have i have an attitude walk
walking like he's going to sucker punch somebody
it fits mark ngl
Mark likes to find efficiency even if its by dumb luck sometimes
This made me giggle
He has officially passed the "I'm actually pretty good at this game, it's kind of intuitive" phase and entered the "rage 2 return of the rage" phase
420 ayyyeeee
I feel like this is a theme for most games, as soon as you start getting good, making mistakes gets way more annoying. (LoL)
And the real fun of this series starts.
That sand must be so sticky by now.
2Rage2Furious
Such a small content creator, no views at 14 seconds? Glad I found this guy, he could make a movie.
Have I got news for you my friend
still no views after 59 seconds, may as well support him and watch the whole video to put it into the algorithm since it looks like good content
The 40 million small content creator.
Fahh😊
He looks like the kind of guy who would make a movie called
"Ferro pulmo"
Idk
Poor Mark hasn't figured out that the map endlessly loops in both directions yet, and that the firetower he was heading towards was actually the further away mirror version of the firetower from the loop and that there's a closer one in the direction he wanted to go in the first place.
Facts
If only he would read the comments 😅
Hopefully Mark will learn that eventually.
@blackcat8104 I think once you get high enough on the mountain the looping becomes far more apparent, especially when looking back down at the lower landscape from a higher point since you can actually see the repeating landscapes from that height. Like I remember the manbreaker loop is so obvious you can see the identical staircases up to both the left and right in the distance.
I kinda doubt he'll make it through the whole lets play without catching on about the weird looping map. He already almost caught on the very first video when he wondered how he made it back to a place he'd already been when going the opposite way.
it almost clicked there though!! he was so close to putting it together
@S@Sardonicus-Smileske op said he needs to read his comments
Mark: getting intently more frustrated
Chair: traumatic flashbacks
So stupid. I regret subscribing
@kennethbrown109I mean commenting how you think it’s stupid kinda boosts his channel but you do you I guess
The chapter 5 rage its infected him.....
Is he still use the same chair?
@kennethbrown109 - At least it gives you the opportunity to troll the comments! 😂
The fact that this game works like pac man and the 2 fire towers are actually the same one make this so much funnier
Haven’t beat it myself but it really seemed it watching him look back and forth it seem odd the area round both towers would identically meld. Neat trick then to keep people on track in someway and give them sense of exploration without getting to lost then.
I was waiting for him to realize they were the same.. but he never did which is funny.
in ALL directions too ;)
I think i speak for everyone when i say we will watch a second playthrough of this from mark
🤝
Him exploring everything he can in the game would be fun.
Can concur with this statement 👌🏻
He already re-played it on his own time. Listen to distractible
If our dear mark doesn’t add it to his list of “yet to replay games”
I just realized this is the Isle of Lost Boys from Pinocchio. As they get their every wish they turn more and more into donkeys.
Actually it’s “Paese dei Balocchi” (Land of toys) in the novel and pleasure island in the film.
@MetalStrike09 Yes, the film Pinocchio
@tubeLuthey were informing them of the original name of the isle, not correcting the movie it’s from
@tubeLuI think the Lost Boys are actually from Peter Pan.
I noticed it straight away. But I always think of Pinocchio when I see donkey characters. Same with Donkey in Shrek. I just assumed it was a Pinocchio reference
This man must have an incredibly strong bladder. Poor guy has been holding in that pee for ages
bladders are invincible in this place, like everything else
It went away
He peed a few episodes ago
It's fitting because Nathan is really pissing me off.
@sakuraice22 I thought I was the only one who remembered
I feel that Mark’s fear of the ocean and subsequent avoidance of beaches 90% of the time has led to him not understanding how sand dunes work. It doesn’t matter if it’s not steep. You will slide. Because sand moves.
The desert is just a slow, thick ocean.
He didn't notice how HUGE those sand buckets and spade were or the fact that he was making Nate (this game's main character) walk around giant sandcastles.
@35:56 My husbands name is Nathan. This is his new ring alarm when he calls. "Whats wrong with you, Nathannn?!!"
You need to make him wear a grey onesie
God my gluttony loves the uploads
i'm glad he pursued his dreams and broke hollywood and all, but man is it great to have regular letsplays again
well don't tell God, you know he disapproves of gluttony
@DenInTheDark god disapproves of a lot by the sound of it.
@Gadooshed Is this “A. Lot” fellow particularly gluttonous or do they just have beef?
@GadooshedYeah, he's a super judgey dude.
28:35 - "We're gonna make some goddamn progress... Or else my name isn't Nathan Fuck" - Markiplier 2026
well, the man is named mark. soo...
CONSISTENTPLIER IS BACK
I nearly read this as Constantiplier (not Istanbul)
About time...we will see how long it lasts
I read this as Consentiplier and thought "WHEN DID HE LEAVE???"
He like this game that's why
I read this as Consentiplier
I’ve always thought this but Lixian’s editing is so good I can’t tell if some sound effects are actually in the game or if he added them in.
edit: I always check the description to see who is credited for the editing! Lixian has a distinct style and there’s always something in the fine details, like changing the spelling of on screen subtitles to match Mark’s mispronunciations or adding sounds to the smallest of movements. he is so good I literally have to watch and compare with other playthroughs to see if something is an edit or not 😂 🤙🏽
I've been wondering the exact same thing
friggin love lixian
If it is lixian, he has at least three other editors as well
Mark has a second editor now, so it's probably a combo of Lix and the other guy
It might be disappointing if you buy the game and certain "features" are missing.
Mark I beg of you please if you see a giant spiral stair case go up the mountain instead because you will be rewarded with one of the funniest bits in this game
Mark doesn’t have the pliers to do Manbreaker.
you're really telling mark to go through the manbreaker
@solitaire4games well it’s my belief that this man cannot be broken and instead he will leave his mark
@anti-oblivion2707 he’ll just want to see if his body can take it
@bbyrdie yeah but he's totally not a masochist
Chair quivering in fear as Mark gets progressively frustrated
Ah yes, the hit game “Happy Feet” by Bennett Foddy
Just imagine a penguin version where you have to cross Antarctica and everything is ice
Just imagine a penguin version where you cross Antarctica and everything is ice.
@christianarrington6492 wait… 👀
@christianarrington6492
Please, _please_ I need that to be a thing. Please let Bennett Foddy see that somehow lol
@christianarrington6492 - Except the 'cream of the ice' which is actually made of sand! 😂
Honestly, mad props to Lixian for the editing on this, all the little sounds, the "subtitles" for each time Nathan does a little yelp, moving the camera around so that we can see what's behind, and so much more! Your time and efforts have not gone unnoticed, and are much appreciated!
This video makes me wonder if Mark has ever actually walked in sand before?
Nate slipping on a 45 degree angle sand dune and Mark's like, "IT'S NOT EVEN STEEP!!"
🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure it's the fact that's he's just so good at going up steep hills that whenever he slips on one he always thinks it's Nate's fault lmao
Facts
@wudaheill Isn't it, though? 😁
Also, he questioned at one point if you’re more likely to slip while holding the ice cream. I was yelling YES MARK ITS MELTING AND MAKING THE SAND SLIGHTLY MUDDY. 🤦♀️
He's been to the beach, there's a Markiplier Makes set on a beach. Otherwise, Idk
37:40 You meet Mike at the first checkpoint (the bright light in the first area that Jim tells you to go to), where there is a big candle and another pot of goop. You skipped it because you got distracted by the side quest, went to the watchtower, then went up to the second checkpoint. He basically just explains that you're both new here, and that Jim has given him a map and some gear; Nate claims that Jim thinks Nate is too skilled to need those things, to avoid accepting help from Mike (who is incredibly trusting of Nate, and seems to see a connection between them due to their shared newbie status). It's also another point where they imply there being more to this place, and hint at some of the themes. I think that's all you need to know for later cut scenes with Mike to make sense.
really helpful, actually, thankyou!!
I was really curious what would happen when Mark skipped the first campsite - I'm glad it wasn't as punishing as it could have been (not triggering at all) but I'm also a little sad that they didn't account for continuity. The game is otherwise very lenient with player choice, everything is optional and other cutscenes are more like rewards for being thorough.
At least his skipping due to distraction was no big loss here. Unlike in a certain game called White Knuckle... 😂
I have noticed that markiplier has greeted us every time for such long time and we never greeted him back, so let’s all collectively say hello to markiplier
Maybe if we all say it at once he’ll hear us
Goodbye markiplier
Hello Markiplier our name is everybody
Hello markiplier my name is everybody
"Hello to markiplier"
Anyone else notice his baby steps video uploads are getting exponentially faster?? Expect episode 5 in like, 6 hours
Good I’m just in time. I neeeeeeed iiiiiiiiiiiiiit 😂
and shorter, too
I can bearly keep up 😭
5:55 " Why are my feet backwards" me every time I go out drinking
The second I finished reading this comment, Mark said it :D
We're 4 parts in and this is the first time we see Mark rage.
22:10 Do not! Do not do that!
YOU CAN'T STOP MEEEE!!!
Coward
It has a flared base
18:02 Looks like he's jojo posing 😂
Wdym
maybe he has star birth mark somewhere on his body
30:25 I think we all know what it is... It's milk of course!
The cream of the ice some would say
Totally not smth from human body totally not
@engagingweirdo I don’t think a human could produce that much milk.
@A_Lobo_With_ADHDhuman giants maybe, like the sand sculptures. They could definitely produce that much… milk
I like Jesse. He seems like a nice donkey. If they're making a comment on social anxiety, ass-Ethan's the scumbag that takes advantage and Jesse's the good friend who works with you, encourages you, and sometimes sneakily gets around your dumb brain so you take a lantern. Be a Jesse.
The one who gives him the lantern is Moose, not Jesse. Jesse is the gymbro one in the blue hoodie, Moose is the one in the lumberjack shirt, and Ethan is the bad influence one. Moose is incredible though, I agree, and him and Nate's relationship is super heart-warming.
im ngl i can't even keep track of them
It was moose. Moose the genuine real friend. One your thinkin of is the hyper active one.
@Spider_Mike023 Jesse doesn't seem too bad either even though he's hyper. He was the one who encouraged Nate to wish for what he wants and not to be pushed into fulfilling other peoples desires with his wish in that scene where we first meet Jesse. I think that says a lot about his character.
@Sardonicus-Smilesthat is very true, he’s just so go go go it’s hard for me keep up with him but yea he’s chill too
Stopped watching markiplier to watch markiplier, lets goooo
Omg same 😂😂
Same lmaoooo I was watching Fears to Fathom
Came here to watch markiplier and got hijacked by markiplier
I like that this 100% improvised game has more compelling lore and funnier dialouge than all of hollywood right now. Like I actually want to know what Nate's wish will be or what the ending is.
Genuinely though the peeks at his actual life make so curious about Nate and how it relates to this wacky af world he's navigating
With how out of shape Nate is it might as well be a pizza. 🍕
I mean, the funnier dialogue sure, but the lore? No
@majesticeagle5461 I was spoiled about the lore and I think the story is pretty good lore wise
Watching Mark say he wasn't even rushing while obviously rushing and making several mistakes because of it, only to then be amazed at how easy it was to get up the steps once the ice melted and he was no longer rushing, was a PERFECT analogy and example of how ADHD affects the lives of those with it. It blew my mind how perfect it was
The classic "I'm fine unmedicated, doctor" to "I was, in fact, not fine, doc, not even a little bit." pipeline 💀
I wish he knew the game procedurally generated the same area left to right. That far firetower was closer to his left and up than right and all the way that way. 14:42 HE SAID IT AND HE DOESN'T KNOW HES RIGHT
Every interaction in this game feels like a Smiling Friends bit and I love it.
Yesss exactly what I thought 😂 it sounds like they just let them improve and it works so well
@claranadine1086 thing is, all of them are Improve lol
Especially the Ice Ice Cream part, if you fail more than 10, the VAs starts laughing and shitting themselves 😂
DEAD
I can’t believe that Bennet Foddy stole the idea of “Comedy” from Smiling friends.
@claranadine1086"Improv" is spelt like "improve"? I assumed otherwise.
After consulting the browser, it seems "improv" is short for "improvisation" & "improve" is a different word.
23:45 Mark casually explains the story's core of the game
Daily Markiplier content just feels so damn good man....
20:07 my new ringtone.
I can't with the animation in this game. It really looks like your character is manually walking.
They did a good job then 😂
... That IS the core gameplay yes.
I said it before, this is Manual Samuel 3D. 😁
I mean…… you are manually walking him lol.
Manual literally means "with your hands" btw
11:32 The guy that made the number 1 movie in the US btw
Damn, I'm so sad he didn't go in the skateboard bowl. It has one of my favourite cutscenes
Agreed, if he somehow falls back down to it, hope he goes in
@Dier12633he's not. The game is pretty forgiving in the sense that when you make it to a new area, there's very little chance of falling to an entirely previous checkpoint.
Especially this particular checkpoint.
i like how mark's anger at this game (at least in the way it sounds in his voice) sounds more like he's like, personally mad at the main character like a disapproving/angry parent than he is at the game being hard to control or him being bad at it. it feels oddly fitting given the backstory we've seen thus far of Nate's whole journey up to this point.
2:15 even nate looks mad about the fall 😹
18:51 it’s so funny watching Mark completely lose, ignore or fail to notice clear paths toward where he’s supposed/trying to go, he’s like Zoro from One Piece
Please play this game as much as you can
4:48 WHY did he throw it??? 😂😂😂
Full torque and everything too
Blame Nate for that one
12:32 DO IT
Like the idea moose was in there chilling and prolly overheard them arguing bout the lanterns so he picked up two near him in there to have his own dilemma about being a gadget coaxing Nate to take one thinking he’s helping him out when moose actually just sees how Nate ticks and so looking out for him gets him to take one in a awkward fashion. Odd but I like his character this whole game always looking out for Nate seems.
Everytime we hear: "Hello everybody my name is markiplier." We know the video is gonna be a banger.
30:23 It's the CREAM of the ICE
21:00ish… missed the Bucket cutscene
37:43 Yeah. Jim’s the guide at the beginning and Mike’s the guy who u skipped being introduced to earlier at a campsite
Anytime Mark trips in this game it has to be Tofu just messing with him.
This game does accurately portray what it's like to walk up a sand dune.
‘‘Twas thinking the same thing
Have you walked up a sand dune before?
You brought back memories. It was monotonous and exhausting and went forever. XD And trying to go down in in a sled didn't work.
@PinkertonDetectiveAgency1907If you go to the Oregon Coast there are miles of coastal sand dunes. I am used to go sand boarding a lot as a kid.
@scp-682-cu6 I remember having to turn back around before reaching the peak because my brother was tired
4:16 "Not quite my tempo"
i get it
"where you dragging or where you rushing"
He says he’s not rushing guys why don’t u believe him 😭
12:54 that physically hurt to watch 💀
The icecream saga is gonna go down in history
37:27
Ssssooo… no one going to mention the uuummm… wall-gina?
I love the fact mark is so calm and then something happens and he's like oh fucking hell not this getting over this shit again 😂😂
35:31 It’s not cute anymore, Nate. Take the goddamn lantern.
36:49 I think Moose knew and that’s why he took two. 😂
It’s Morkiplier!
Mark prefers his ice... Crushed. 😺💅
22:33 I guess you can say he's.... Getting Over It.
That moon is CAKED UP
We all know mark is going to drop that ice
I WAS JUST SCROLLING HIS VIDS YAYAYAAYAYYA
22:30 is Mark... Getting Over It???
Who would have thought THIS would be the game that makes me go "hell yeah" when Mark uploads?
23:13 The happy music with his clear sarcasm got me so good 😂
I feel like this whole game is a dream the guy is having after going to sleep whilst needing to pee. So his dream is full of things that are just reminding him he has to go, such as having to travel somewhere for a ‘wish’ maybe implying a trip to the restroom is what he would wish for, and everyone running around with no pants so he even has a visual to remind him of wanting to go pee. The ice cream that’s actually just ice that he feels the need to carry quickly to a destination maybe symbolizes urgency? The more random stuff like the campfire parties, the call from his dad and all his pals having horse heads could just be normal dream stuff. I think he’s just dreaming while holding it 😅
Quick somebody grab the petition. WE WANT a 2nd Playthrough of this game.
The fact that this man is balancing 2 series at once resident evil, Requiem and baby steps😂 so random, but that’s Markiplier
I honestly really appreciate that he does 2 series at once sometimes, if for any reason someone isn’t vibing with one of the games they can just watch the other one and won’t have to wait for the game they don’t like to be finished
You need to look up tofu the snake. He hates you for absolutely no reason
More awkward walking sim, truly wonderful :3
So sad markiplier didn't go through all the cutscenes with the icecream man, don't even try to do that challenge just go through all the cutscenes, it's some of the best in the whole game lmao
18:29 - "Why couldn't I see that from where I was? Why couldn't I ever see that? That was just not there."
Friends of Markiplier; he could see that from where he was, and it was there. If you look back, it's on-screen multiple times, including when he turns round after scouting at the top of the staircase.
(It's also, I believe, the same watchtower as the one he's going for, thanks to the looping world.)
Mark: It's not steep! ....... the hill: .... ⛰
man i know this is a common thought but seeing mark upload multiple times a day really makes me realize how much i have missed him, like i listen to distractible but it's also the combination with lixian's editing
22:35 omg he's getting over it
24:43 now thats a full moon😊....🦗
TOFU THE SNAKE
Careful mark, tofu the snake has something out for you.
Tofu is coming for you Mark
Another Baby Steps video? I guess Mark really isn't Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
Mark: *Goes up a hill in the middle of nowhere.*
Also Mark: "I didnt mean to skip half the game!"
Markiplier last part: "Oh the mud isn't actually that bad."
Markiplier this part: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere."
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate Lixian’s editing of this series. It adds so much humor to an already amazing video.
As a climber of a massive sand dune (Oregon knowers know the one) it's hard to climb with your hand and feet, let alone JUST your janky baby feet
22:51 IM CRYING
We need Mark to know that there is a LADY DIMITRESCU outfit for Grace in RE9 in the deluxe edition DLC.
Why, you've doomed him, will switch to third person in that case and not progress at all 😂
Doesn’t hold the same POWER
Get a life
@Natan1300 how come you're projecting?
Oh god, not this stuff again...
30:00 markiplier matching my face exactly as the squishy sounds play
5:39 I mean this truly, I am proud of you Mark. I wouldn’t have made it after tossing the ice cream.
I think this game might be a metaphor for overcoming addiction. At least that's how I interpret Nate's struggles. The constant uphill climb, the desperation followed by relief when you get a quick fix (the white liquid he drinks), immediately followed by reality crashing in on you when the high wears off.
And then there's the refusal to accept help. People will try to give you tools or advice, but you're so entrenched in your own shame and guilt, that it feels wrong somehow to accept it. And the peer pressure to join in, to not do the healthy thing.
I don't know, I relate to the game in that way.
I also liked someone saying that Nates journey is a metaphor for someone going through life while being very neurodivergent. The initial goal is to find a bathroom so Nate can pee. However he keeps coming across tasks that have nothing to do with going to the bathroom, getting more and more side tracked with every passing day. Every task is almost insurmountable and takes so much extra effort to accomplish. The way he is also very awkward when speaking with the NPC's, with some of them mocking/belittling his efforts is telling.
BUT he trys his best anyway, and that what makes me smile. 😊
@sarajohnson6855 I think yours is just canonical. In one of the hat cutscenes (Propeller I believe) the mom outright says you have a disorder [something along the lines of "He doesn't understand your disorder" in relation to the father] so there's a high likelihood you're right or that other person was right
He wanted to say " baby steps"
--D
23:24 : why is it christmas suddenly ?
15:20 I love how he sang with the music
29:52 This shouldn't make me so happy, but it does.
Hey Mark you should also check out a indie game called Peaks of Yore, it’s a great climbing game, it’s really challenging and fun
It’s also a really good game to stream if you wanted to do that as well, I think you would actually like it
yeah i’ve played it, it’s fun
