I'm On Observation Duty 6.5

I'm On Observation Duty 6 is here and also was here in the last episode so in an effort to be even more confusing this episode is named 6.6.

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

[echolight]

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

“Have I been the anomaly the whole time?”

Bro got me thinking over my entire life

[mattnamanics]

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

[Azaleiii]

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

pretty accurate

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.

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

[HybridAngel]

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!

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

[soullight]

I can just imagine lixian going in behind the scenes and fixing every anomaly.

[MsJillVicius]

As someone who has seen this level many times, I saw the building show up in the first attempt and wondered if Mark would see it, but he didn't. Then in attempt #2, it showed up again and when he said "Is there a building that's different" I started yelling at my screen. Good job, Mark, on your accidental success.

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

[Coyote_]

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

For some reason, I absolutely love the Observation series. Its a great game and I love how Mark talks to himself and counsels with his inner conscience to determine if a shoe was suppose to be on that specific chair or not. Not sure why, but its enjoyable
