THE PART WITH RAGE | A Difficult Game About Climbing - Part 4 

Just chatting? Good lighting, lots of space, clean desk, well hydrated. Playing rage game? One flashlight, hunched over, on the floor, no mouse room, in some abandoned closet.

The fact the developer added these pools as a sort of checkpoint system was honestly a beautiful bit of mercy.

It's so nice to see Mark taking a break from the stress of Iron Lung. Hopefully, he can get some much needed rest and relaxation.

"I was trying to get a good grip, and it turns out I just gave up on life" That just felt relatable I love you mark

Mark : fighting for his life and sanity Lixian : *clown music

I think mark won’t be stopped

You know when you're like 8, and "helping" your dad with his project in the garage, or fix the sprinkler system outside, or fix a leaky faucet? And it starts out as fun, you get to see some cool stuff and hold the flashlight. But after y'all are five hours into the project things have devolved... Mark's shouting about reality and explaining monitors "calmly" reminds me of a dad shouting at the project and as a kid you do really know what to do so you just watch the situation awkwardly. So... Keep it up Mark, we'll just all be here holding the flashlight...

"It's just climbing" - written on the gravestone of Mark's sanity

Mark: **Stuck on a level** Every object that Mark can reach: **Start sweating profusely**

Marks transition from a raging maniac six years ago to a semi-patient human being will forever bamboozle me

personal theory: whenever you are playing a game or doing something that seems simple but is suddenly very hard; take a step back, evaluate if you are hungry or thirsty. its incredible how much hunger can tank performance. i was very frustrated building a loft bed once, and after 3 hours walked away to eat a sandwich. came back and was able to assemble the part that had been frustrating me in less than 30 minutes. a sandwich made all the difference.

I once heard an archer describe the way of learning a skill. You train every day, until the act of shooting an arrow becomes muscle memory and you do it completely by instinct. That's when you start to think about other things, because your mind is free and then you start to notice your mistakes. That moment shatters your instincts and completely breaks your routine. You actually have to start to train the whole process from the beginning, just like an amateur, but you do every movement with complete awareness of what you do and when you reach the point of instinct again, you are a perfect archer.

Okay so, for anyone wondering, no there's no RNG. What's actually happening is that the physics is pretty meticulous: every material has a specific friction, and rocks are not at the maximum they're just really high. Too wild a change in momentum will make you slip. On top of that, your momentum is VERY specific. The reason he struggled with the wheel was because he was coming in from too high an angle, making his momentum too fast to grab onto it. tl;dr no there's no rng, the physics are just complex enough to roughly emulate the chaos effect.

Lixian is kind of half the content at this point. His editing goes so well with Mark's gameplay and rage.

Never has a man needed a session on Pressure Washer Simulator more.

This entire video is just Mark trying to get past that damn wheel 😭😭

At least the cave section prevents backtracking. Could you imagine if there was some way to fall all the way to the beginning like the snake?

11:32 "I just want to get back to fail at the OTHER THING! I just want to get back to FAIL at the OTHER THING!" The rage is real.

"I ran outta rum"~Captain Jack Sparrow." Your pronunciation of "room" never gets old to me. I always giggle at it. Sorry i couldnt help myself.

Mark: "I wanted to spare you guys an hour of me just climbing these pillars, but I know Lixian probably would've edited it into a hilarious montage though" Lixian the very next part: 10:36 *_*cartoonish clown music intensifies*_*

That song Lixian added in at 10:36 was comedy gold. Specially when the music stops (so we assume it's over) but then he falls again so the music comes back. It's just... chef's kiss

Lixian brutally and silently chopping Mark's head off just shows that besides being an amazing editor, Lixian could be an assassin!

13:32 "I just want to TRY IT" -my cat when I won't let her have a piece of my meal

a week since the last post makes me worried for what’s to come

26:45 "*WHYY-* ohhh my thank you. oh my, thank you." _the exasperated noise of someone barely clinging on to sanity_

Whoever did this did an amazing job. It's incredible that after one of the most soul-crushing segments of the game, the game asks you to do a leap of faith into ice. Mf ice. And then obviously you slip and for a moment you think you are about to lose it all. And then you hit the water. Genius

It's great to know that after all these years, Mark still pronounces room like rum. I love it!

On part 4 of this game and the swimming animation is still absolutely SENDING me every time

i like the fact that mark isnt allowed any furniture when he's playing rage games XD i like to think even the monitor and computer are like... shock absorber wrapped lol

Its really interesting how Mark is his own worst enemy. When hes hyper focused on something and locked in hes unstoppable, playing the game at almost a speedrun level. The second he starts thinking about it he panics and then his emotions make him rush or focus on his anger and then hes just stuck in a loop. If he would've gotten past that thing first try he'd have gone all the way but instead he got so annoyed with it that his annoyance stopped him there. Pretty sure he took a break and came back and bam its done

the swimming mechanics in this game make me happy

slightly concerned part 5 is taking so long to come out 😅 mark?? u okay???

The way the character swims is just the funniest thing idk why

Idk why Mark's insanity is always hilarious to witness. Maybe because he can stop anytime - it's just - he doesn't want to.

I bet that Lixian had a blast watching this as he edited it.

26:27 thosee ohhhs are mixture of happy, anger, rage and excitement

The fact that there are videos of this game being sped run in 4:58s but I still choose to watch Mark struggle over one obstacle for more than 25 minutes speaks volumes about Mark's dedication, The speed runner's Talent & my willing choice to enjoy Mark Suffer.

Markys unflappable confidence is what leads him to his ultimate victories

Anyone else notice how mark is taking a very interesting approach to this game? like, instead of missing a jump and getting all frazzled about it and breaking something, he's looking at it more like a puzzle. he's also gotten a lot better at admitting his own faults, and him blasting the game and saying that it was it's fault he missed it has gotten very rare. He has evolved a lot sense long ago when he first played a game like this.

he lost his power from last video

I was legitimately scared that mark was going to throw his chair, and then he mentioned he was on the ground.

I think the funniest part is Mark constantly trying not to say "fucking", and then just doing so once he realizes he doesn't have a chair

Mark: Man if I can't get the timing right, I'm gonna have a REAL bad time! Mark in the past: Who's that skeleton telling puns?..

At times like these I'm reminded of Mark's deep seated fear of the ocean. Funny that he enjoys The Raft so much

19:00 The funniest part is that you actually can do it normally. You just have to reach diagonally upward when you jump. I'm glad you figured out a way that works for you.

Mark continuing to not have a very long fall all the way to the beginning or far back is filling me with so much anxiety.

Lixian's edits were amazing, as usual. Also loved seeing Mark getting frustrated here...not because I want to see him struggle, but because it shows me that my reactions when I play things like this aren't unwarranted...he felt so REAL for this one.

The climb up is definitely the blue equivalent of "Orange Hell" in this game.

Watching Mark struggle/get mad/look like an angry cat for 18 minutes has kept me rooting for him

I have never been more entertained, despite Mark being stuck in the same place for the entirety of the video.

Lixian did the darn THING with that musical section🤣 I can't stop laughing at it! "What is...even the - POINT!" *DUUUUNNNNN*🤣

Need part 5

After watching the “I made the game” video for this game. The physics system is the basic Unity friction system… the exact same as Getting Over It. I have no clue where everyone is getting all the “it is exact precise momentum or you slip” as the developer was very open about making it a rage game that uses unity assets and already built in physics system from Unity. The game is you have force on your hands, when you grab it becomes negative force, and everything has different frictions so that grabbing depends on the force you use. But sometimes your hands will wildly have weird large or small force and that probably is giving you the “RNG” feel to it. It also explains why you can just be sitting there doing nothing and move your mouse and suddenly slide, as sometimes you’ll just get a large corresponding negative force on your grabbing hand as it appears to also be associated with mouse movement. The faster or wilder your mouse movements are, the more often the jank in the force will sometimes just slide you. But even going slow, sometimes you’ll still get that large force happen. I’m pretty certain speed runs are going to be figuring out how to maximize the force in your hands to just fly to the top.

27:15 “bleh m bler ble blee bler blah ble bleh…. OK THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR WATCHING”

This video is a prime example of a human cycle through the 5 stages of grief. Over and over and over again. Keep up the struggle!

Thank you Lixian, you portrayed Marks downfall of Sanity to Insanity so wonderfully. I bet I would have started raging 2 parts ago if I had to paly this, since I suck at those type of games. Congrats to Mark for still going, for us and against all of his remaining sanity

I honestly felt the rant at 17:07. It's just such a disheartening feeling when you've done something perfectly for the longest time then just forget and not have it anymore.

Half expecting mark to throw his floor

the fact he psyched me out too to the point I had a mini heart attack when he dropped

1:06 "oh nvmd im great, i forgot i was amazing" looool

Here lies the sanity of Mark Fischbach. Gone and forgotten. 6/28/1989-4/8/2024

Something mark has taught us all. It's ok to just have emotions. He also shows us what it would be like if we voiced exactly what's going through our head at any moment.... Lots of repetition.

I never seen Mark so calm in a rage game like this lol 😂

I came here to see if mark didnt quit RU-vid like others did

Markiplier, like 10 years ago: WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. THAT IS NOT OKAY. Markiplier now: 1:33

Looking back at marks old getting over it series and comparing it to new rage games he's done, you realise how much calmer and how much he changed in terms of rage and it's crazy.

around 24 min, especially 24:41 genuinely calmed my nervous system to watch, that self pep talk was inspirational lol

10:40 Lixian adding goofy music was absolutely hilarious and cruel

Bless ALL the editors for watching every moment of gameplay over and over to make this masterpiece. You are the heros in this.

mark is the type of guy to bolt his chair to the floor only to spend an hour in a fit of rage trying to throw it

Holy shit, Lixian got on another level. These editing jokes are actually hilarious now

Mark trying so hard not to feel rage but just SEETHING with every failed attempt 😂

0:33 I swear RU-vidrs have heightened senses because there was absolutely nothing remotely scary in that water

13:40 "I just want to try it!' - Mark at this part. Reminds me of "I JUST WANTED TO TRY!" - Mark in the tree in Pogostuck

honestly I'm just proud of how far you've got and how well you're doing, when you were talking about how your brain works when things go wrong I relate a ton, I get so frustrated too but you keep going and trying again, and that's something I really respect and try to do myself.

2:39 very (un)fun fact, sloths will do this and it leads to them needing to go to a wildlife sanctuary if they arent unalived

1:50 sometimes I wonder how often Mark sets up a Lixian joke and it goes places he wasn’t intending or expecting. I love how Lixian interpreted that, and imagine that mark was referring to Lixian cutting off his own 2d head. But what a joy

Watching Mark methodically talk himself through the situation was so satisfying. Forward progress indeed!

12:54 listening at two times speed here is hilarious

You know when mark is upset when he starts gaslighting the character like the narrator does to stanley in the stanley parable

"What is hitting?" though this won't help Mark, I'll help an audience member hopefully: the arms are limited in length. If you extend too far, they snap back a little, giving directional momentum from the snapback. Same for the legs and head providing collision and rotational momentum.

Mark: “I’m not a masochist!!” Also Mark:

17:30 *Concerning Darkiplier/ADHD brain gaslighting*

2:45 basically my whole life in a nutshell.

17:53 "Why would that be your reality? Because YOU'VE FORGOTTEN IT" is a pretty deep line for a (difficult) game about climbing. But that's just my opinion

Each part was 3 days apart, now it's been a week, I think the game may have broken him

as an aside from the funny content, its nice to see Mark have more control of his emotions despite game doing its best to be annoying. given that mark has talked about his past anger problems. its nice to see his growth in that regard

"Can't will not be stopped"-Mark Fischbach

20:41 dat elbow be flexing cuz it brought Mark down

Gotta say, I never thought I’d relate to Mark this much. After completing Celeste I am screaming at how these are the exact same reactions I had to failing over and over again just to maybe get to another part where I’d inevitably fail.

When you see the upload being a day late and you remember: this man only uploads when there is progress, this might not yet be the case for mark xD this vid was rage, seems like we got another one incoming innit? XD

26:55 that “WHY” was primal

9:38 Mark nearly sounds like Baldi when he says “Fantastic”

I love how the light in the background of Mark’s video is shining on his black hair. Well, here he is “Giggliplier” playing another climbing/rage game (“Bennet Foddy like”) game (good luck again, Mark)🙀🎮🧔🏻

My parasocial thing is being like a proud mother seeing how far he has come with controlling his anger and emotions. The joy i feel seeing him deal with his emotions so healthily. He has come so far!

10:37 I was among the flowers.. I was among - the flowers.. I was AMONG the flowers.. I was AMONG the FLOWERS!!... I WAS A.. Yeah, I love this kinda stuff. Btw, @Lixian You do such a wonderful job. You bring so much more to the "feeling" in each video. Your amazing bro. Mix that with Mark's "anger management" and its a perfect match.

I'm starving for part 5 it's actually a problem

we need part 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait to see how "far" you get in the next episode. Also amazingly you kept your calm much longer than i expected. Nice to see the real real you coming out, full of determination. good stuff

18:05 The perfectly cut moment.

10:42 The way he blinks every single time after falling lmao
