I can’t believe Bob joined a secret Antarctic doomsday cult and Wade now identifies as an antelope and is living in the various city parks. You think you know a guy.

I think Mark really likes Sons of the Forest, he just can't convince Bob, Sean or Wade to replay it for the 4th time with him. But he can convince us, I'm here for it!

Calvin’s bleeding from both ears violently due to the helicopter crash. During the final roll, his hearing protection comes off, and the helicopter explodes following the tumble. Due to you being far enough away it doesnt deafen you. But calvin is too close to the blast, resulting in the rupturing of both eardrums. And his lethargy comes from a concussion mixed with his senses being all disrupted. That or someone walked up to him and went “WHA-PAH”

I love how cannibalism is just the default in this series. You see an item with a question mark, go to pick it up and oh, look at that, you just ate a human arm. The developers probably should have tutorialized that a bit.

It would be great if secretly wade and bob are in the game without the viewers knowledge and there objective is to make marks journey as difficult as possible. Not bc mark is a masochist or anything, but bc he wants to see how much he can take.

“Pick whichever reaction you think is more true, and that applies to your reality” is my new favorite mark quote

22:49 the fire making everything darker actually makes sense, its about how our eyes react to light, your pupil dilates in the dark to allow the most amount of light in, but in the any bright conditions it contracts so it doesnt let harmfull light into the eye. So when u look at the fire, the pupils constrict for protection, and your surroundings seem darker

Giving Kelvin brain damage is such a funny and creative way of excusing derpy AI. They made the derpiness canon.

'' i dont wanna grenade him... BUT THE DEMONS IN ME-'' LMAOO

Poor bob and Wade, mark was just too successful to handle them, can’t believe what they did to him

6:44 the way the character aggressively slaps the paper on Calvin’s chest is too hilarious for this serious situation 😂 like “read this, and don’t do stupid shit!” 😂

“I would never commit cannibalism, “ cannibalizes the first native he sees

It's not about the podcast. It's about mark seeing if he can handle this game by himself. But it's not a masochist thing

Oh my goodness. I’ve been rewatching the Forest and Sons of the Forest playthroughs with Wade and Bob these past days, and lamented how there weren’t more Sons of the Forest videos. This makes me so happy.

As someone who has never seen or played or even heard of Sons Of the Forest before, I've grown to love Kelvin in a matter of 25 minutes. He will be going in my list of comfort charcters

After all the log-throwing Wade was doing I can see why you'd wanna play this alone. Edit: Watch out for the ragebaiter in the replies

13:45, Mark casually starts talking to a deaf person about his adventures knowing well that he can't hear a thing

I prefer your solo videos, honestly. It's been like a throwback lately. Of course, it's fun to play games with others, but there's a way that you play games on your own that attracted people to your energy in the first place. It's good to keep in touch with that solo energy regularly.

13:12 mark: "alright Kevin I'm back!"..."AAAAaahhh!!! IMMEDIATELY FALLS💀💀

I love that the character's first instinct (when being played by Mark) was to murder the first person he saw who wasn't part of the OG team and eat them. Just immediately go Lord of the Flies

GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT

16:19 "you didn't see anything!!" *points "do i see that?"

Thanks for that callback to the origin of "HoyOOOOO!" That's worked its way into my gang's vernacular now.

Mark, please dont kill Virginia! She's a friendly mutant NPC with three legs whose kind of integral to the story! Everyone keeps making the mistake of killing her. ;-;

The crouching guys won’t attack you if you don’t attack them. Just like the girl that runs around in white will befriend you if you are nice to her. She will start bringing you stuff like food and warning you when enemies are near.

YES!!!! I’ve been dying for someone to play this solo, and of all people it’s the KING!!!

I think the sound wave from the accident or the sudden loss of altitude (barotrauma) while having his headphones yeeted off his head led to Kelvin's ear drums bursting. So, his issue is probably a sound or pressure related injury rather than intentional injury by a hostile entity.

"Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier." That Intro never gets old to hear. It's Great to see The President uploading more of this game, but is now going Solo.

I'm very happy you decided to go ahead and play this even if you have to play solo. I loved watching you play the first game and been waiting for you to play Sons of The Forest. I literally haven't watched anyone else play it because I want to watch you play it 😅. Can't wait for more videos ❤

Im so happy Mark is playing this game again! I just binged the Forest playlist last week! Although hopefully Wade and Bob can play it with him too, they were so funny together!😂

22:52 It is called "Light blindness". Your eyes were adjusted to the dark. You added a light source. Your eyes adjusted to the new light source. Now you don't see quite as well in the parts where the light doesn't reach.

youtubers get famous and ditch the people who thought they were friends.. classic story. Can't believe bob and wade abandoned you like that mark, just know your dedicated little fanbase is rootin' for ya!!

Imagine the opening scene in one of those orange rollercoaster machines at arcades

that is SUCH a great timing. we've been playing this game with my friend and we got pretty far in the story (we're on day 50 something as well) and its SO ADDICTIVE we can't stop playing. thankfully we're both pretty serious with it but even playing seriously its very funny despite it being a horror game lmao

Had me for a bit with the whole "We're done, frienship over" thing until I realized "After all the shit you all have been through, there really isn't anything that would destroy your friendship" The video was pretty good, and I will admit that it is both good and sad that you're playing solo. On one hand we get to see you focus on the story and do hilarious stuff on your own, but on the other hand Bob and Wade certainly add a level of hilarity to the videos. I still think one of my favorite moments from the original Forest was the Gazebo/Log Cabin incident lol

14:45 can we just appreciate how convenient Lixian is to have as an editor?

There's just something about Kelvin that I find cute, he gives off this wholesome vibe

Yess so glad you came back to this!! Sad to hear about Bob and wade rip distractible

"Kelvin, you better be eatin' sunflower seeds over there.." 😆

I was literally re-watching this series 4 days ago, perfect timing.

I have been waiting for mark to return to this game for a very, VERY long time

i like that mark said that he should find a place where the island inhabitants don't patrol and then decides to set up camp where he sees multiple of them patrolling

Before the ads finish just wanna say I’ve been feeening for this for years now I’ve watched yall original about 5000 times 🎉🎉🎉🎉 FINALLLY

It's weird like a week ago I saw his sons of the forest videos and was like "when is he going to make more?" now he is making more (:

Love Bob and Wade, but it’s so nice to see mark get to build without it getting destroyed instantly

I like how they messed up Kelvin's head to give lore to your partner's A.I. behaviour.

Hay mark i just wanted to say thanks for all the videos you have done for us and stay positive through these hard times i really love your videos thank you.❤

I very much enjoy watching the boys play multiplayer games, but I do agree there was a little too much shenanigans going around in the last session x'D Really would like to watch them play, or just Mark, this game, but taking it more seriously

I can't tell you how much I wanted you to complete this series 11 months ago when you were playing it with bob and wade, but then when I finally started playing this game few weeks ago, I realized it was for the best (cause of how many wrong decisions you guys took in just 3 ep of series lol.)

Mark: *AGGRESSIVE MURDERING* Kelvin: 🗿

KELVIN!!! I JUST WATCHED THE OTHER PLAYTHROUGH I'M SO HAPPY THANK YOU SO MUCH

Our beloved Murky Player back at it again!

Love how there's this whole 'falling out' thing when they still playing Chained Together... together. I HAVE been looking forward to more of this too.

In Distractible, Mark said he would NEVER eat a person even if it meant dying, so seeing him accidently go nom nom mode on some longpig is just hilarious!!

The passion really shines through. Great job!

Can we just respect Mark for actually being interested in the story and wanting to finish the game?

ABOUT FUCKING TIME I MISSED THIS SERIES BUT GET THE DAMN BOYS BACK WE NEED THIS SEQUEL FINISHED

This is going to be a drastically different experience than playing with friends. It's like those let's plays of single player Minecraft.

My heart skipped when I got this notification. Finally, I am glad you're playing the full game, even if it's without Bob and Wade (however it would be nice if you rope them in, or you know connect them to you with chains). Let us see if you can beat dying to a boat motor. Make good use of Kelvin and Virginia (she's good with guns). Thank you Mark.

Definitely wanna see more of this series.

3:39 , Wades worst enemy

FINALLY HE PLAYED IT AGAIN

22:50 it got darker because due to the new light introduced into a dark environment, your eyes was adjusted to the dark but now they’re trying to get adjusted to the light as well. It’s like being in a dark room then suddenly stepping outside during the day, and when you go back inside it seems to be darker than before. Amazing detail in this game, this is a true survival game

i am so glad you came back to this! you got me into the forest/sons and i was so bummed when you stopped playing. im so excited to see you play!!

Finally greatness continues sort of. This is one of my favorite series and i hope Mark is having such a blast playing it as i am watching it.😂

As much as I love the guys doing a playthrough together, I'm actually really excited for a solo Mark mission

I love it when market pliers said “it’s markin time” and marked all over the place.

I'm so excited for this series! Watching a solo run is going to be fun

I'm glad we finally get the Mark part of the Mark & Friends forever now, distractible will be better for it 🙏

I just started a play through of this myself. Nothing could possibly have made me any happier than seeing this at the top of your videos. Utterly nothing.

Mark, if you ever need a better base spot so the mutants don't keep destroying it (and so you can get a good night's rest), go to the north-west beach! There's shallow water there that you can build on, and the bad guys cant cross the shoreline, so you can defend from afar. Hope this helps :)

Ive been waiting for the sons of the forest gameplay to come back since it had never been finished with bob and wade, happy its back!

YES FINALLY WE MIGHT GET AN ACTUAL FULL PLAYTHROUGH AFTER YEARS OF HOPING

Kills a few muddies and makes a shelter in a terrible location. "I am... Amazing" Oh you poor little man you have no idea what is in store for you. 🤣 Cannot wait to watch every minute of it.

I'm so happy to see Mark playing this again. I've been waiting for them to finish this, but I'm so ok with a solo playthrough

Mark and the comments gave me a good spook for a moment 😭

I've been waiting for all of you to finish the series for so long... thank you Mark...

Hey mark, just wanted to thank you so much for being a huge part of my life, watching your videos while I was deployed was one of the ways I kept connected to home!

The absolute AUDACITY of Bob and Wade to have done what they've done. You're a saint for putting up with them for as long as you did Mark... still can't believe it. (/s)

I don’t know why the comments are off for A Little To The Left, but I wanted to thank you for playing such a cozy game. 🙂

Thank you so much mark I have been waiting for sons of the forest for so long

“thank you mark, i love this series!” we all say in unison

Barely 4 minutes in and im laughing at the fact mark casually sits back and “dad points” at the screen while actively plummeting down in a helicopter. I love this man, he’s a national treasure 🩷

Markiplier as soon as he did that spiel about how him, Bob and Wade had a falling out made me want to watch distractable more... Good job Markiplier. You made me REALLY want to watch distractible more than I already do. You're doing great at your ads buddy :D

Bleeding from the ears = very likely skull fracture

I let out an audible gasp when I saw Mark upload this. I’ve been waiting for him to play this game so badly. And considering wade and Bob rock/log throwing, I can understand solo play.

I was watching your Supermarket sim playthrough earlier and I thought you would LOVE Moonlighter. You're a dungeon crawler by night, and by day you sell your loot in a storefront you customize and expand. Great game my dude.

This is incredible, I absolutely love watching you play this on your own. Can't wait for more content ❤🎉

Yes! I'm so glad you're playing this solo! I wanted to see you play this game to its full completion! I also want to play this much love, Mark❤😊

16:12 his genuine scream kills me

I like that the mechanic of "the less you attack them, the less they bother you" goes out the window almost immediately 😂

I started playing The Forest because of Mark. It’s really nice to see him back at it again.

Glad to see that Mark was saved from the depths of the forbidden tub.

Last year, I was stuck in bed for like 2 weeks recovering from surgery. Was in a lotta pain but I watched the original "The Forest" playlist like +10 times and it helped me feel a LOT better during a time where I otherwise felt pretty miserable. Really happy to see this series back and I hope it sticks around, it's very comforting to me now :>

6:02 * flashbacks to Wade *

I'm glad you're bring back SOTF.

I can't believe Bob and Wade picked ice cream cookies over you. A very sad day for Mark

3:50 LMFAOAOAOOO of all the tats you could get… 😭 big words that say FIGHT DEMONS

MORE MARK PLAYING THE FOREST! WOOOHHHH!! This is my favourite before bed content

You made me cach up whole 2 episodes to then comeback here and hear "well anyway that was a lie... unless its working" YEA MARK I GUESS IT DOES
