As a lifeguard worker, I can confirm that what Mark does is in fact a thing lifeguards do. Hurts your neck a fuck ton

"Half of these I just need to call a repair guy." pretty accurate

Mark: AN UNDERWATER CAMERA?!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Also Mark: Nothing wrong with a camera in a changing room.

mark obsessing over small details and changes and subsequently missing the entire missing showerhead i think perfectly captures how these games get under your skin. they have you focussing so much on each individual thing that could change, that obvious changes go right over your head - like with that one experiment where participants were asked to count how many times the ball/balloon/whatever it was was hit and in doing so completely missed the man in a gorilla suit

“Have I been the anomaly the whole time?” Well since you can report them and within a second they disappear… possibly

The fact that there is a camera in the bathroom is more scary than anything else in this game.

1) Lifeguards do this! The American Red Cross trains lifeguards like myself to scan the area but not to stare. 2) "who wants to swim when the pool is super closed" is the reason that lifeguards at my workplace have to check doors that wouldn't normally be our responsibility. People propped open doors and used the entry point to sneak into the pool. So we have to check the doors now as part of our closing routine.

30:49 Markiplier uses his "cat chasing laser" strategy

When I saw the building over the trees in the background I thought "it would be very creative to put something there bc its just a big sillouette" and when mark restarted THE BUILDING WAS AN ANOMALY

mark not noticing the 3rd shower thingy missing since before 5am and surviving is impressive lmao

I think this game is a great example of showing how people’s brains work differently- there’s some stuff I never saw that Mark picked up immediately, and some stuff that jumped out at me that Mark took a while to get

Hey Mark. Just watched an old video of yours. "Watch this video if you're feeling down." Going through a rough part in life, and the video helped. It popped up in my recommended, and I instantly clicked on it. I know that video isn't directed at me, but it's more of a love letter to the community. But it felt very personal. And it kind of helped. So thank you. Thank you for your content, and thank you for changing lives. Because I know you have. Please keep going.

11:08 the intruder spawned, killing you for having 3 anomalies active, which mean you didn’t have time to see it.

I was so angy about the missing shower. However something I don’t think people realize. Mark was constantly on thin ice. He consistently had two anomalies active during that last stretch. The missing shower, and there was a head in one of the sauna buckets!

"WE'RE GOING TO THE POOL" every child jumped for joy once he said that

This is genuinely one of my favourite series that Mark does. Its up there with the powerwash simulator videos for how incredible they are for me to watch while I work on my University stuff

“Have I been the anomaly the whole time?” Bro got me thinking over my entire life

REMEMBER! you DO NOT recognize the bodies in the water !

25:56 if you paused here you can see a tall building in the trees. I almost missed this lol

The laugh track at 18:00 scard me the most.

To answer Mark's question at 6:20 - I've worked in hotels for... going on a decade now, third shift, and the amount of people who ask that we open the pool for them... while not substantial, it's frequent enough. I can only imagine how popular public pools are at night. Especially when you think of how folks won't spring for overnight security.

It feels like the devs have been pushing out sequels faster than Scott Cawthon in his prime.

I love watching observation duty while I do dishes. It's so calming to have someone in the background freaking out. It's a good distraction 😂

The extra object at the pool was an entire ass building. How did bro miss the entire ass building 💀

when he started doing his scanning method again, I said "he's doing that 'dog who thinks you have food' again", and then he said "what's that you got there" and I LOST IT

Hello and welcome to another edition of "Pointing Out Mark's Mistakes"! Not like... in life... just in-game. Here are his missed anomalies: -6:58 - Mark isn't watching the background, because if he was he probably would have noticed the building that appeared there. -8:45 - One of the towels has gone missing off of the stack on the left. He'll figure this one out in a later run. -10:56 - The only possible Intruder anomaly in the Dressing Room is a disembodied head in one of the cubbies. Since it's a pretty obvious anomaly (and the Game Over screen doesn't show the fourth one that killed you), Lixian must be correct that Mark didn't look at that camera during the five in-game minutes between 10:29-10:42 -25:00 - There was a smaller shower nozzle on the right which is now missing. And here are some anomalies that Mark didn't miss, but I wanted to point out some interesting facts about them: -17:49 - This is one of the rare achievement anomalies: The Stalker. He can show up on either this camera or the Poolside camera and awards an achievement if you find him. -29:12 - Another achievement anomaly! This is The Marionette. -29:54 - Admit it, how many of you were yelling about the building? For the record, this one showed up all the way back at 25:36.

27:47 mark missing the distortion in the pool- I KEPT SCREAMING 'IN THE POOL MARK 'as if he could hear me..

hey mark!!! :) i know this is really not anything related to this amazing video but i wanted to say, thank you. ive been through alot. and i mean alot, so much i might just break. but the onlyy thing keeping me stable is your content and you in general. you've made tons of childhoods, and golden memories. we all are so proud of you mark. ive been going through depression severely. and tons of terrible things i wont get into because its hard to talk about. but really, thank you. from one person to another. and i know this really isnt much coming from me. ive been on my own for years and YEARS. and im struggling. 3 therapists and a physiatrist. and the only thing that seriously worked is you like i said. im seriously not stable, at all. and im over here surviving just because of you, mark. and you dont understand how grateful i am. No person in my ENTIRE life has brought me such joy, and comfort. NO ONE. not my family, not my friends. no one. just you. seriously, im proud and thankful. im proud of you, and thankful for you. and only because of you ive opened up to some people. i have not been able to be normal after everything ive been through. ive watched you for YEARS now. im just so proud of how you've grown and became so successful, but i know you mostly care about how you inspired and saved peoples lives. (like me, you saved my life. im saying it seriously, i was SAVED. i wouldnt have been here) We all love you mark, im proud and thankful for such a pure human being to be on this earth. thank you, mark and i wish you the best!! all the love :) Edit: thank you sm for the support, it really means alot. its been like this for the past 8 years, but its perfectly okay. im surviving cause of mark. im thankful for you all 💪❤

26:16 drives me crazy with how close he got to reporting the actual anomaly that was right nearby ....

12:18 I never thought I’d be jumpscared by a donut but here we are

I will always be impressed by Mark's ability to decipher the pixelated blobs of text in games

21:45 a missing washing machine

“was there always shorts there?” “WHOSE NAKED!?!” mark being mark.

Confirmed Mark can not see a Building creeping up in him.

Yo at 10:24 look at the wall to the left there's no poster, as Mark was saying in the moment, "I need to keep scanning because if I don't then I miss anything that's not obvious like the blood dripping from the ceiling."

the "unfinished business" joke was actually pretty well timed but the fake laugh made me feel bad for thinking that

Mark constantly complaining about nothing being in the sky and then ignoring the sky anomaly at the worst time… hurts. It hurts in the worst way.

“I’ve reported that shoe before, it’s not an anomaly…” with the most gruff-noir-detective voice ever sounds so unhinged out of context 😂

at 15:43 markimoo POINTED at the clock 😭😭😭 😭

30:25 is when Markiplier locks in

17:50 "Intruders...? OH MY GOD!!" scared the hell outta me lol

Its not a rage game for Mark. Its a rage game for his viewers

I just love hov Mark Said if something is missing, and whole shower gone🤣🤣🤣

Wade would be so proud of Mark for using a wheel to decide where to go 🥹

As a lifeguard of 12 years I can confirm we do move our heads that often, whether poolside of lakeside. That comment is spot on. Made my day :)

Imagine how stale that donut had to be to break the camera XD

Mark should do a podcasty type video where he revisits his old videos and talks about them. The past projects he did and games he played, things he was thinking at the time and parts he really enjoyed about them. thoughts?

14:07 I saw nikocado avocado in the corner poster over there and I can't unsee it now 💀

POV: you are playing Sims 4 and listening to your sim talk 16:38

Mark finally recognized where a random building should and shouldn't be😂 (30:01)

I need more lethal company with you, Bob, and Wade. It's been too long.

11:36 holy crap, the extra object in the pool was a freaking BUILDING in the background! I thought I didn't remember the building being there, but I was sure it was too big to be an anomaly. I'm so glad it was tho, that's such a creative one. 2:44 OH MY GOD YES, PLEASE CHECK THE BULDINGS

When you realize, in game, that building in the back of the pool has been there since 4-30ish in game and it took a near in game hour to find it? *I love these games they make us overlook entire buildings appearing out of nowhere.*

Anytime Mark uploads a new Observation Duty video I always save it so my GF and I can watch it together and play along with Mark, it’s become one of our favorite things to do together

17:47 me the first time: *screams painfully loud* me after rewatching it 8 times: nice asmr

29:08 there is a block in the sky!!

Never thought I would hear Mark say the works "I gotta lock in"

A Markipler video a day keeps the depression away

Me the entire time: Mark- Mark the pool floor is breathing please fix it 😭 14:30

The fact that mark was able to clear the Hotel on his first try, but blind as a bat when dealing with the pool is so on brand for mark.

1:17 Obviously it isn't you, Mark. It is the Gongoozler!

The Sauna Intruder is by far the most aggressive, and speed anomaly than others.

I'm really not much of a horror fan but this series for some reason has really grabbed me, just love it for some reason.

Mark: Everybody loves a wheel! Bob: I would disagree

Mark calling out at the beginning that he might be the anomaly made "It takes a thief to catch a thief" come to my mind.

is it weird that I use this video as a sleep aid? something about it is just so... relaxing?

The extra thing in the sauna and the whole missing showerhead 😂😭

the laugh at 18:55 MADE ME JUMP.

1:00 its the GONGOOZLER also its a good day when lixian appears in the editting

that phantom building was like the main antagonist. it was just constantly there in both runs. looming.

Thank you for posting another one of these. I recently binged this series and was hoping you'd do more ❤

12:28 probably the same kinda person that steals soap tbh

I stared at the building in the background for too long, so glad that Mark finally got that at 29:55 😂

the hint at 0:11 was perfectly timed

I love how this game shows you what you missed after you fail, so you can learn from your mistakes

Have you ever heard the Gongoozler's call? I happen to have heard it many a night. For if you ever hear the Gongoozler's call, you know that death is coming! THE GONGOOZLER!

Please play more of this, Mark. It's honestly one of my favorites to see you play! It's just really fun.

Barely anyone plays these and I look forward to them. Thanks for the entertaining and unique content Mark.

Binged all of these today and yesterday lol. I'm obsessed

That fact that Mark missed a whole building appearing in the shadows at the pool TWICE, at 7:46 and 25:36 is beyond me.

27:21 There is a whole extra building on the left of the treeline xD

This will always be one of my favorite series! Please keep playing more!

I just got braces and multiplier was playing in the backround of my headphones while I was getting them on, love you man! You made me less scared :3

17:44 perfect timing 💀

30:30 I gotta lock in 👃🏽

Definitely my favorite series from Mark since watching Octodad as a kid, always anticipating the next episode !

When Mark lost the first time, the extra item in the Pool area was the whole building in the background that he spotted after 2 hours in the second run. The Phantom Skyscraper makes fools of us all

6:21 "Who's going to the community pool in the middle of the night when it would be super closed?" Me, having worked at my local pool every summer for 15 years: ... 😶... I don't even *WANT* to know what people were getting up to. I just wish they'd done better to clean up after so we wouldn't know they were ever there, and we wouldn't have to scramble to fix things up before the kiddos there for morning swim lessons could see something weird... The things we've found come morning... Although, more so, I'm just glad none of those things were a body.

I need this game to have a VR version, where you're in a room looking over the footage, so some intruders can break through the camera or something.

“Who throws a doughnut?!” For Markipler quote of the year lol Really hope this shows up in a yearly compilation later, pure gold! 😂

One anomaly you missed was the small shower head would go missing in the shower. It went missing multiple times in each run.

23:20 Hi, Mark 😊

“I’m just doing that for.. sanity checks… Did just hear a noise?” -mark the totally sane security guy 23:39

Hoping to see more on this game, it’s always fun to be able to play along

You should definitely do more of observation duty for sure

Prop hunt walked so observation duty could run

15:03 that head was the first thing I locked onto when you switched to that camera.

The Observation duty videos are my favorite, so always excited when he uploads a new one!!

Hey Markiplier your line of "MATPAT CAN SUCK AN EGG" made it into the final game theory episode good job

19:52 Not Mark casually sounding identical to a Dalek lol
