Mark thinking the normal rug was actually an anomaly when he mistakenly fixed it from the real anomaly earlier is golden

I love how Mark says he won’t return to Observation Duty but keeps finding other games like it to cure his addiction

I always assumed that "fixing" the intruders just meant that someone went in with a broom and shooed them out. Lol like "get outta here!" *swat swat*

I'm glad Mark finally noticed the shoes 😂, it was driving me crazy that he keep leaving the bedroom (even though it was only 2 times) I was like "GO BACK TO THE BEDROOM MARK! THE SHOES MARK!! THE SHOES!!!"

Mark : “there’s probably a missing object here in reception somewhere” meanwhile the plant in the ice room for the entire round : ↕️↕️⬆️⬇️

Guys, we should all make "observation games" that dont have any anomolies, just to mess with Mark. Nothing but error messages. Like some soort of game roulette

I like to interpret these Observation games as you being some kind of inter-dimensional being tasked with keeping our reality from falling apart, protecting Earth from SCP-like horrors distorting reality.

Okay I normally don't notice the anomalies because I'm stupidly blind but noticing the distorted plant in the ice room and watching Mark not taking notice of it is a bit infuriating lmao

Mark should try and do an observation game with an eye tracker

Funny thing is Mark's head bobbing is actualy a legit lifeguard scanning technique that they use to spot drowning people in dense enviroments, which just so happens to also work for spotting stuff in observation games, so it really works with him always not knowing what he is doing but still doing it great lmao.

I like thinking that "anomalies" like the open oven, the open fridge, or the remote on the floor are just the resident trying to sneak a bit of late night snacking and TV in only for Mark and some shadowy organization to be all "you absolutely the fuck will not."

What Mark missed in the hotel: 19:05 distorted plant in the ice room, right corner(almost had it in the end, but it was there a while so I counted it) 19:48 missing towels at the foot of the bed on the right in room 302 20:25 extra basket with 4 paper bags under the table in the ice room 22:32 replaced pillows in room 302(changed color) I feel like I missed a few, but that's most of them at least

I love it when Markiplier straps us to a chair and forces us to watch his videos.

Mark not noticing the plant in the ice room moving up and down the entire round, only to notice it 0.2 seconds before he died was perfect.

When he spotted the first intruder in the kitchen my heart jumped out of my mouth! 😂

Mark: “do ghosts *bone*???” No, but skeletons do..

Mark being blind while the plant in the ice room is trying to decide how long it wants to be was hilarious

Love how Mark’s more concerned about the fact that there’s so many cameras in a hotel room than the actual anomalies

Mark moving his head like that at the beginning is actually a lifeguard technique! It exaggerates the scanning movement and makes the person actually “look” for sure

12:59 The carpet got fixed when trying to fix the light anomaly with "moved/replaced_obj"

Mark almost reporting the missing towels in the hotel room but instead reporting extra object because of the fact there was a camera in the room was just hilarious XD

Fun fact: the technique mark uses to scan the rooms is the same technique life guards use to spot people drowning. So it is in fact a functional technique.

I feel like the way they fix all of the anomalies is that there are men in business suits that are legit outside in a white van just chillin, drinking coffee and they just sit there until an alert for them to bust into the house and just replace the object or if its an intruder, they just punch them out cold and carry them out as quickly as possible. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

18:20 marks “oh boy” reminded me of that one really specific fnaf musical blooper

Mark missing the distorting plant in the ice room after passing it like 60 times was so frustrating lol

Watching him constantly miss the fact that some of the bedroom window drapes were missing were both infuriating and hilarious.

10:47 man i threw my phone almost

20:00 - Watching Mark reporting anything but not the Distorted Object (the plant on the right side was stretching to the ceiling and shrinking back periodically) 'till the end of this vid is that thing that made my day. xd

3:00 fun fact: this is the same tactic lifeguards use at water parks, swimming pools or beaches to scope the area of danger or anyone in need of help! it looks silly but its actually really helpful

Mark: "so i'm not crazy" Also Mark: *moves head in weird circles*

9:39 THE LIGHt

this disctorted plant is PISSING ME OFF 21:35 HE PASSED IT SO MANY TIMES JUST PLEASE 😭😭

A new markiplier video a day, keeps the Depression away

The number of times he passed over the moving plant in the ice room was driving me up the wall 😂

The head movement Mark does is sort of similar to a scanning technique that lifeguards use

3:29 the shoes moved to the right 😊😂

Every time Markiplier failed to notice the distorted plant in the ice room of the hotel 19:05 19:16 19:33 19:46 19:59 20:26 20:32 20:39 21:23 21:35 22:09 22:48 23:12 24:09 24:25 24:48 25:03 This makes a total of 17 times.

Someday mark is gonna play one off these observation games and it's not going to have anything scary, it'll just be straight up security with normal people and no anomalies.

I cant explain how but this game makes me feel ill. Extremely effective at creeping me out.

18:49 the way Mark pronounces “anomaly” is so satisfying 😂

I love how when Mark starts these games he's always second guessing things that are absolutely normal.

16:40 “Do ghosts bone?“ is just one of hundreds of Mark’s difficult questions to the world 😂

10:13 INTRUDER!!!!

there are few games that mark plays that give me anxiety but these like intruder, anomoly games make me SO uncomfy amd anxiety ridden. takes a lot to make me lock my door, good job devs 😅

Markiplier is the person in a horror movie to come up with a whole damn plan and just kill the killer

You know the game is super intense when mark starts doing the lifeguard head bobbing

I love how the plant was just movin around, chillin the entire time in the hotel

7:52 did anyone realize he did kitchen instead of living room

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard Mark ask in separate videos if ghosts bone, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, But it's weird that it happened twice

That footstep jumpscare was really good! I'd like more observation games to do stuff like that.

mark not getting that moving plant the whole time hurt my soul

18:40 I mean, usually in these things, the lore is that extra cameras are placed around the place once the investigation starts to get all the rooms.

The intruder in the hallway low key scared the hell outta me (especially cuz they’re faceless ) but marks reaction helped me laugh it off .

All scare times: 6:35 - Man in window. 10:39 - Woman in front of camera 12:29 - Man facing away 14:03 - Eyes 15:39 - Person in closet 23:45 - Jumpscare intruder

15:26 I am going to need the meditation/relaxation music for my mental stability from this part - more Mark videos help too 😅

Intruders : *existing* Mark : THAT CARPET DOESN’T LOOK GOOD

This is genuinely one of my favorite horror game genre, especially when Mark plays it. A wonderful blend of uncanny valley and creeping paranoia is just *chefs kiss* when it comes to these games

Whenever Markiplier hears until 6am he must get PTSD

watching mark completely miss the moved chair was so funny but so infuriating

3:15 - Circulating your head like that helps with viewing the whole room because it limits eyestrain by allowing your eyes to move around less as they follow the motion of your head.

Mark recreating the 'ohhh my god' meme sound at 14:07 is just golden

Did anybody notice that glitch at 9:24 ?

I love watching you tackle these observation games, please try it again!!

I want to see a game where you play as the guy who fixes anomalies for these observation duty games Would be funny and creepy like getting a false anomaly detected or having to deal with a monster

They successfully made intruders more terrifying than observation duty, either that or mark is screaming hard enough to startle me more.

Mark: "Great, so I'm not crazy." Also Mark 0.04 seconds later: *proceeds to spin his head*

"Do ghosts bone?... I don't think science is ready to answer that yet." has me DEAD😂

The things Mark fixed and did not notice or answer in the house level: 5:23 : The chair was tucked in the desk, and now is not. 10:15 : The rug changed pattern. This messes him up at 12:06 😅 14:18 : The plant on the left of the screen moves from the right side of the table to the center. 14:38 : This random selection intended for the kitchen removes the red rug that is under the couch, sofa chair, and TV from the living room.

Having a great time screaming at Mark thru the screen at all the anomalies he's missing XD

14:06 the perfect replication of the "oh my god" singing vine 😂❤

15:41 guys be nice he's coming out of the closet >:[

Comforting to know that despite Mark having played HUNDREDS more horror games than me, we still have the same reaction to getting jumpscared😭

6:47 Mark: “How do you fix that?” Me: “You sh00t them” Mark: “With a shotgun?” Me: “Yes” Very funny timing

Mark is always so entertaining to watch with his calming voice and his amazing sense of humor

Mark skipping over the undulating plant in the ice room is too funny 😂

it'd be nice if these games included a tab to show the rooms basic states but made it feel a little risky to double check, like if checking the files on each room has a small chance of causing a jumpscare or something

For those wondering what was the anomaly at 5:21, it was the chair at the desk to the right, it was tucked in and straightened while it's suppose to be angled.

This game blends the fun hide and seek aspect of 'find this' games, liminal space, with the perfect amount of scares (the intruders) 🙏

Mark missing the tree growing and shrinking in the ice room until he lost was so funny

16:29 *Well that came outta nowhere..*

Watching Mark genuinely helps me forget horrible things that’s happened during my day and etc.

When Mark plays these games he should have Lixian act like he's fixing the anomalies.

Mark: "I'm not crazy" Also Mark: Starts turning his head like NOT crazy after a second

16:22 “Do ghosts, Bone?” LMAOO 😂😂 That was so funny :>

20:00 Onward I kept screaming about the potted plant distorting in the ice room and he just keeps skipping over that room so fast I hate it here. Someone come save me.

4:59 mark not noticing the oven was closed just after he talked about it is crazy.

The plant in the hotel was moving the ENTIRE time, but he didn’t notice it until it was too late lol!

I would love to see a game like this played with an eye tracker on! I want to know what he is looking at to miss some of the anomalies 😂

I actually love Observation Duty style games, for some reason they’re so fun?? And when Mark plays them it’s just the best!

Every time there’s an intruder in one of these games it always gives me fear chills

love it when mark plays these typa game

10:45 MAN THAT SPOOKED ME SO BAD DUDE

2:42 Lixian just knows how to place face distorting effects in the perfect time 😂👏

Him talking about how well his chicken bobbing works whilst missing things several times is always amusing to me 😂

i love at the be ginning, lixian moved marks face cam to show the creator. it's small stuff like this that i love about mark and lixian.

Love ya Mark, your videos got me through my highschool and 5 years into my military career. Hope to meet you someday. Your videos do help people get through rough times. I hope life is kind to you for the rest of yours.

I finally see the stress behind these videos when Mark glossed over the dancing plant so many times

the literal motto for these games “was that there?” 😂

10:35 I have been watching so many people play so many episodes of games like these, Observation Duty and this one and ALternate Watch and others, but this is the first time any of the games were actually, genuinely creepy to me.

12:30 for reference, this carpet got fixed from the blue carpet (which was an anomaly) when he reported the light as "moved/replaced obj". But he only noticed it later and yeah hence why he freaked out about it.
