A Difficult Game About Climbing - Part 1 

“I’ve made my chair much more difficult to throw.”

And so it begins

"There doesn't seem to be any kind of a grip meter" my man is still having flashbacks to I Am Bread like ten years later lmao

Mark: "OASIS! OASIS!" Me: *horrifying Unus Annus flashbacks*

Fucking hell, he's doing rage games again, in a FUCKING dark room. Ah, the lovely flashbacks.

3:52 "This is weirdly satisfying. I'm not even having a bad time here." You heard'em guys. You heard the words.

18:43 gives off "whats 17 more years? I can always start again" energy

I feel like im back in my college dorm watching Mark get over it while I procrastinate on my homework. Now I am just procrastinating on my regular work, my how times change.

I love that Mark remembers Bennett Foddy, but not the name of the game. Bennett's voice really fueled Marks hatred not for the game, not for the player, but for the maker and voice of the game, Bennett Foddy himself

Mark is opening old wounds with the “oddly clothless man climbing something very high with no grip”

this character you play as legit has to most useless legs ever. but the strongest arms.

“So I made my chair difficult to throw” good job mark. I hope he doesn’t flip out playing this game

Mark: I've been really stressed and I'm taking a break from content. Also Mark the second he gets back: *plays what is essentially Getting Over It Two*

1:32 “Can you dive?” My brother in Christ you can’t even swim

Can we appreciate the Tony Hawks combo at 21:06 we love Lixian

mark: *almost dies* also mark: *produces the most beautiful sounds known to mankind*

Mark yelling "OASIS" unlocked some deep memory inside me... Like there was another channel where he did something with friends... And something something death, white and black, ticking clock... Or was it just a dream?

"This is a difficult game about climbing..." Chair: *Sweats nervously* "IT INVERTS THE BUTTONS?!" Chair: *PANIC*

23:35 is just that “oh for crying out loud, spongebob, you didn’t get the job!” scene from the spongebob movie

Seeing Mark leap and do a flip complete with THPS sounds and flavour text was a god tier edit. Lixian knows how to edit these vids in a way that makes rage games a next level experience to watch... and by extension still share in that frustration without it feeling reactionary. Honestly loving this so far.

I mean, comparing this to his Getting Over It play through, he’s actually gotten a lot better at not letting frustration get the best of him. Shows real improvement of character.

I find it so funny how Mark doesn’t start screaming until 11 minutes into the video. But he’s keeping his composure a lot better than Bennett Fodey. You got this Mark don’t give up. You beat Getting Over It and you can beat this one too.

The Tony Hawk and skate sound effect to 360 falls was not something I thought I needed in life until today 😂

istg Lixian is the funniest person alive for this. His editing to enhance Marks humor or just actions to make fun of him are so hilarious to watch LIXIAN EU TE AMO as a fellow half portuguese beijinhos

The celestial bodies have aligned. It is time. The new cycle of _masochistic rage skill games _*_begins_*

I watched a video of the making of this game (by PontyPants himself), and I thought it was hilarious that the characters arms in this game are each like 7 feet long, but the forced perspective of the camera gives the illusion that his arms are normal length and close to the objects he's climbing. You can see in the shadows that his arms are HUGE.

It gives me such an immense sense of joy to watch Mark struggle through things like this. His expressions and the suffering, coupled with the ecstatic and unbridled joy before MORE suffering give me ASMR type tingles. Does that make me a sadist?

Seeing Mark slowly go insane was the highlight of my day 😂

here I am at the edge of my seat, rooting for mark to keep calm because he's mentioned on distractible that he doesn't like getting comically angry even if it's good for views. it's like watching a thriller and each drop into the water is a potential twist

"and so ive taken some precautions since getting over it in that ive made my chair much more difficult to throw" is the greatest thing ive heard all year

When Mark starts laughing maniacally out of pure frustration at 18:16 Me: "AAAAhhhh~ *sigh of relief* He's back, I missed you Mark"

I love how mark is so dedicated that, while other RU-vidrs stop playing games like this after one video, mark can make a whole let's play series on it lmao

As a rock climber, I can testify this is exactly how the pros do it

By the end of this series Mark will be one tragic backstory away from becoming the most terrifying incarnation of the Joker.

13:30 Good reference to Tony Hawk Made me remember Mark's Skate 3 series

The THPS tricks and combos are absolutely perfect. Lixian killing it again

Chika: Oh no Chair: Oh no Headset: Oh no Mark's Brain: Oh no

This whole video really felt like Darkiplier pretending to be Mark, with the dark lighting, the video effects, and especially that comment at the end: "I am so glad to conclude this game and be *back in the driver's seat* of making content again."

His editor must've had a fun time editing this 10:25

18:22 why does mark look like those tiktokers who livestream and put a sad filter on their face and keep failing for content

18:32 Mark going on an entire tirade about the inverse mouse controls followed up with the realization that it was clearly labeled as the grab mechanic had me DYING

There is nothing I love more about Mark than him being extremely pissed off. I don't know why but it makes me laugh and calms me. 😂😂😂

6:52 *Normal people:* wheel *Mark:* f l i n g m a c h i n e

Mark's previous update: " I am tired" Next video: " Let's play something that won't tire me physically but emotionally :)"

Markiplier: "I'm tired." Also Markiplier: "Let me spend some time getting exceedingly angry at a game." Also Markiplier: "I'm not a masochist."

lol, we need more videos like this. I love how mark actually shows a bit of emotion.

I just love the commentary while he plays these kind of games 🤣

Mark: "Once I'm done with the movie, I'm gonna take a break, relax, and start making RU-vid content again!" Also Mark: *plays the most rage inducing game since Getting Over It*

“Looks like there’s no grip meter, so it’s not the worst thing in the world.” *I am Bread flashbacks*

Mark: * suffers in the game * Lixian: this was the tutoral, you will suffer more Mark: good thing i dont believe you

"my hand is cramping so baid so baid" rolling on the floor 😂😂😂

I imagine this experience would be even more maddening with Bennett Foddy-style narration.

23:38 "I'm making a complete what of myself?" *Whisper whisper* "The most embarrassing thing you've ever seen?" *More whispering* "And now it's worse, because I'm repeating everything you say, into the microphone?"

3:38: R.I.P. fingernails

15:11 damn, Lixian has jokes

my stomach dropping when seeing the “im tired” is a completely different feeling then when my stomach dropped seeing a getting over it 2.0

The Arduous Adventures of Bennet Foddy should be a sequel about a guy inside peanut butter jar using a wooden leg to get around.

I’m so excited about this series, I’ve rewatched like 3 times since it was uploaded

5:15 any hazbin fans know what’s going on when you heard mark say poison :D

Mark 2 weeks ago: I’m tired… Mark 2 weeks later: time to play an infuriating game now!

I'd like to thank the editor who added the tony hawk trick bar at 13:30. It truly made my day.

The sound details when the hands slip on the algae is really good, along with the rustling when the character grabs a bush!

I don’t know what it is about mark, but I constantly have this guy’s videos on, it’s soothing when I’m driving, going to sleep, or just entertainment, thanks mark for being you and entertaining us all ❤

“Thrust with your fingers… strong and proud” A round of applause for the excellent word choices there 👏

The Best Part of this video is the Dynamic Webcam, Lixian's editing is a gift from God.

I want this character’s core and upper-arm strength 13:30 is the best moment, that was so cool especially with the pebbles tumbling down after his grip

I ❤ Lixians editing, he bring it the extra mile to make these videos BEAUTIFUL!

The literal second….that literal second I saw this game on steam. My first thought… “Can’t wait to see the beauty of rage resume”

OK so !! Getting over it : he litterally threw a chair in the middle of the room ! Pogostuck : he spinned with 2 chairs in the middle of the room !! A Difficult Game About Climbing : i can't wait to see what will happen in the middle of the room !!!

Feels like the good ol’ days of Getting Over It rage! Welcome back Mark 🙏🏽

10/10 editing the metal music was on point! props lixian!

As someone who has been following this games world record progression, I love seeing people like mark play this for the contrast in skill levels, because the world record is currently below 5 minutes and it does everything mark did in this video In literally 20 seconds.

Although it's extremely unlikely that Lixian would notice comment number eight thousand four hundred and twenty-nine, just in the off-chance he does: Good job Lixian! This was some top tier editing you did.

“Just gotta make sure you firmly grasp it” Why is that so familiar?

the preview for part 2 was funny af the faces mark can make when hes enraged are pure gold

22:55 WAKE UP BOYS NEW "AA EE OO" JUST DROPPED

This does feel like a sequel. After using a cauldron to ‘protect’ his legs, it turned out quite the opposite and smashed every bone in them. Now he climbs with flimsy legs unable to hold himself up. Good thing he has power in his arms still

I love that you actually make the same straining noises you'd made if you were actually physically doing this

Amazing editing and Mark is a garauntee when it comes to making raging games funny

Oh lord I fear for Mark's... well, everything really. Equipment, walls, bones... Not his sanity, that ship's already sailed.

Him saying " im not even having a bad time" like he wouldn't rip his hair out in the next few episodes

the last video: im tired this video: literally the hardest game ever

something about the way he falls into the water and subsequently windmills his arms like a lunatic to swim is sending me over the edge LOL

“Oh wait. It just inverts the buttons? Why would that be the way that it inverts?! Why would you make the buttons invert and not the actual mouse movement?! In all the years of gaming invert mouse means the mouse move in the other way! That’s what it means! That’s what it always has meaneded! Why would you invert the button?! Why would that help?! Why would that suddenly be the one thing- . . …Invert mouse grab.” -Markiplier 3/30/2024

Great to see you again Lixian. Happy to see Mark isn't keeping you trapped in his cupboards or anything while he's busy with other stuff.

I love when mark plays with hir brain its the experience we love, keep real mark

i love these type of games that mark plays

And here we see Mark learning how to speak Links ancient Hyrulian language of grunts and yips.

it’s getting over it all over again

I loved how he remembered Bennett Foddy more than the actual game

22:13 hey @Ludwig......first try baby

2:51 "Thrust with your fingers, strong and proud." -Mark Fischbach, 2024

Well.. A wise man once said: "WHaT IS GoING ON WITH MY F*CKING MOOUUSE?!"

To watch mark struggle so much on the basics of physics and gravity for so long makes me almost as aggravated as he was getting 😭

9:44 He can dive!

I appreciate that mark took precautions to not yeet his chair across the room 🙏

At the ending 23:36 where Lixian talks to Markiplier reminded me of the manager speech scene from the spongebob movie where mr krabs whispers to spongebob about him not getting the promotion and spongebob repeats it in the microphone

I can sense the death of his chair.

Unpopular opinion: The game is very easy to control and also the amount of progress you make is insanely better than getting over it, I rarely raged playing this game on my celeron laptop

23:09 “oasis” gave me big unus annus flashbacks
