Your question at the start "What does it stand for, the abbreviation" is easily answered: B.O.A.D.A.C Board Of Anomaly Detection And Correction It's a guess but would fit perfectly.
I think I've got a pretty solid theory as to the lore of the 'Observation Duty' games. Centerpiece of course being the intruders, but also the abyss anomaly. Let's remember a few things about the abyss anomaly: 1. It's some kind of hole in reality. 2. In the previous episode, Insym got sucked into one and just before the 'you died' screen displayed, one could hear some illegible speech coming from the depths of the abyss. 3. In 'Observation Duty 2', there's a variant of the abyss anomaly that can manifest in the kitchen of the 'new house', which features an intruder sticking out of the abyss from the waist up. Then let us remember a few things about the intruders themselves: 1. They appear seemingly out of nowhere. 2. They often feature bizarre anatomical features. 3. They are on occasion unconstrained by physics. An example is found in the previous episode of 'Observation Duty 5', wherein Insym encounters an enormous face embedded in the floor. Then finally, the other anomalies: how can objects spontaneously (start to) move? How can objects suddenly vanish, or new objects suddenly appear? There's an explanation that unifies all of this, and it is as follows. My theory is that the intruders are from some kind of psychedelic alternate reality. The abyss anomaly is some kind of tunnel to that reality. Intruders manifest in locations when they are, by some mechanism, transported from their universe into 'our' universe; perhaps by traveling through an abyss anomaly. This same thing sometimes occurs to objects from their universe (extra object anomaly) or perhaps space-time gets so twisted that an object from elsewhere on Earth gets warped into a monitored location. Basically an extreme variant of 'object movement'. The player's job, then, is to monitor locations on Earth where our reality and the reality of the intruders almost intersect, and report anomalies to basically untangle the two universes wherever they intersect. The anomaly cleanup team, then, uses some kind of device to locally 'fix' space-time, which removes intruders, misplaced objects, etc. This would also explain why false reports speed up anomaly generation: a wrong guess causes in accidental, pointless tampering with space-time which, instead of fixing an anomaly, may 'irritate' the universe and cause it to intertwine with the intruder-universe even more. Why does the player fail when too many anomalies are active? Remember observation duty 2: the guy tells you "this place is doomed" if you fail. Too many anomalies would cause some kind of collision or merger between 'our' universe and that of the intruders, which would either cause anomalies to surge into our world, or cause the complete destruction of (part of?) our universe. Since their universe is so weird, both the entities from it (intruders) and the anomalies it may cause (cursed paintings or weird geometry) are also weird. Of course, this is just my interpretation pending more information, but I figured I should share it with you all for feedback.
I agree. A lot of people interpret the activity in the game as being associated with ghosts or demons, which is understandable due to the games' similarities to found footage films like Paranormal Activity, but it seems more like the activity is due to alternate universes overlapping with each other. The thing which sold me on this explanation was the first game's reference to the Mandela Effect when it asks the player to enter the date of Mandela's death to access the secret ending. Of course, it seems like ghosts still exist in these realities, since one of the anomaly types is literally "ghost", but I don't think that ghosts are causing mundane things like an object being in a different place than usual and I don't think the anomalies are ghosts or demons per se.
The supermarket level says that the "boss" went shopping and noticed anomalous activity in the intro, so I don't think the "holes in reality" thing would make sense. Also the anomalies are supposedly linked to a single person, as the intro text says. It mentions that the anomalies still keep appearing, despite someone's "demise." It seems more probable to be an SCP-like approach, where anomalies are observed in the world and this corporation takes over and handles it, kept hidden in secret from the public to prevent panic.
@@pixxlated_ I agree, I failed to mention Timothy, but that's because the story around him is presently too nebulous to work with I feel. All we know about him is that he was the boss of the anomaly reporting service for some time (see the 'headquarters' level in the third game) and that he somehow became a catalyst for anomalies. His exact relation to the anomalies is unknown, and I'm not sure if the devs intend to change that. Also, I think you misunderstood what I meant. What I meant is that the "boss" went shopping but realized that the shopping mall he was at was prone to intersecting the universe of the intruders, and thus prone to anomalies. I meant that an abyss anomaly is a hole in reality of some kind. It's definitely SCP-esque though in the 'anomaly containment' sense, but on the other hand, in the 'headquarters' level of the third game, you can see a waiting room, as well as an ad playing for people who experience anomalies in their home. So I don't think it's being kept very secret if this organization that the player works for is so openly asking for people who experience anomalous activity to come forward.
This is a really good theory. You accounted for almost every detail in the game, and it makes me think of the real-life physics M- theory, in which our universe is an enormous membrane in some kind of void full of other membranes (universes). But in M-theory, collision of the membranes, even slight touches, would cause chain reactions leading to the destruction of both universes. While that gave me existential dread, Observation Duty is spooky in a much lighter way. I had a less thought out theory that supposes anomalies are due to an instability in reality, where the waveforms collapse in "incorrect" ways that we need to fix in order for the universe to continue functioning at all. I like your idea of the void being the connecting thing between our universe and the spooky universe. I honestly think you've already thought about it more than the devs :p

That's right insym, not everyone has lockers in their schools, even there are no school buses, if you live half an hour from your school or more, or you walk, or you look for another means of transportation.
The rant over the lockers is funny, and shows how different it is living in a place where climate isn't that big an issue. Here, where I live in Canada, we have big lockers because for most of the school year, we need thick winter jackets, and lockers are the best place to put them. alongside a place to put winter boots away and change to indoor shoes because nobody wants to wear big boots inside. We didn't need the lockers for school stuff, we needed it for storing winter stuff.
In the US where I am, a year ago (when I was in highschool) they took away the ability to use lockers because people were hiding stuff like guns and dealing drugs with them. People we're even planting ammo inside other people's lockers to try to get them expelled. US schools vary WILDLY.
In Romania there's no lockers, or at least usable ones. I remember in like 1-8th grade we had lockers in the hallway, but nobody had keys for them and some were broken, so they were literally useless. I had to carry a huge backpack full of books, notes, and other stuff every single day from 1st grade to 12th. My back still hurts :)
@@plumcat5018 between kindergarten and 6th grade, our lockers didn't lock. 7th grade and on we were allowed to bring our own locks to lock the lockers.
We don't have lockers as well in Turkey, like at all even in the winter heavy regions, just carry your books daily according to the classes haha, we do have coat hangers in the classrooms though.
Hey check the twitch stream from 1:06:10 onwards to continue where this video cut off. www.twitch.tv/videos/1482856575 The title of the stream (his latest observation duty stream basically) is I'M ON OBSERVATION DUTY 5! - Help me find ALL the NEW anomalies!
On the locker discussion: In my schools the lockers were about half the size of the ones in-game so it was two per section. Some of the time it was because you were expected to keep your coats and sometimes backpacks in them throughout the day along with textbooks, etc. you don't need currently (they were very inconsistent with whether we were about to bring backpacks with us to class and they required we bring every oversized textbook with us every day. RIP our little spines ). Granted this was in Texas and i graduated 12 years ago so things may have changed since. Side note: Most schools i went to had fun rules about the lockers at the end of the year. You were required to clean out your locker a few weeks before end of year or they would throw away everything thing inside. Textbooks, clothes, pictures, etc. but the schools loved to randomly change the cutoff date and bin stuff early. Didnt get your stuff out? Tough. So fun.
17:10 omg XD that was hilariously well timed! this game is incredibly! love watching you play through these! And lol, speaking of other places and school. Back during primary I would walk back and forth to school. I remember looking forward to it too. Quieter days.
We don't have lockers in Australia. My school attempted to introduce lockers you could hire, $2 for a week, but they only lasted a week before bad students literally tore them out of the ground. I still don't know how they did it, but they really just ripped the bolts out of the concrete. It was honestly kind of impressive
my school's locker system is kinda weird, there arent a lot of lockers but if theres a free one you can just buy a lock and take it for free. the lockers are also tiny lol
I'm always intrigued at how western schools has lockers. At the very least, here in Borneo we've never had lockers. Any utensils, books, or even outfits like gym clothing or event dresses are just stashed right into your bag. Having a heavy backpack is the norm around here lol.
Indeed! Where I'm from (nearby btw), we often carry extra bags AND still stash our objects (or even the bags themselves) inside underneath our desks, so technically, the space under our desks become our "lockers" lmao
The intruder in the checkout at about 46:00 was visible in the distance from the produce camera, just over the shelf partition wall blocking the checkout view. You could see his head. Proves intruders physically spawn before you switch to their camera. It was gone after you reported him.
It's always interesting to hear how different schools in other countries work. We never had lockers when I was in school (US). We had to carry everything around with us. Lunch, homework, water, gym clothes, textbooks etc...everything went in your backpack. They were heavy!
27:05 YOOO THAT GORILLA VIDEO WAS SOOOO OLD!! Core memory just unlocked lmao. But man I love the culture shock talks and the conversations about how different it is in different countries. Love the observation duty for so many reasons, keep it up Brosym!
14:00 American school lockers are usually half that size. They would be divided into a top locker and a bottom locker. But now I'm hearing that gen z don't use their lockers?! Which makes no sense to me.

This is defenetly the best game of the series, I love the new report system and the skinny prince is also funny. I also love the elevator men and the announcements on the metro map
I’m American. I’ve never attended schools that used lockers. In elementary school (I believe that’s primary, for any European readers), we only had backpack racks. In middle school/junior high, we left our backpacks in the hallway during class, if I remember correctly. In high school, I think we just kept our backpacks with us. And for college, we were just left to our own devices on what to do with our stuff, though that could be left to the professor’s discretion, I guess.
For that gorilla video you are talking about, I watched it for the first time in my intro to psych class in college and I said loudly “monke” when he walked through and the professor got mad since I distracted the point of the test lol. That was my fave college class tbh they were so chill and chaotic.
I had lockers like that in elementary school, but the ones in my high school were half that size. My elementary school had them at the back of our homerooms, and were only meant for coats, umbrellas, and sometimes bags.
in my french high school we had lockers, but not enough for all students. so students with disabilities were prioritized for locker accessibility, and for the others it was first up, first served.
I don't know about the weather in the Netherlands, but in Canada big lockers allow you to put your winter coat and boots away, in addition to books and things.
While I was going to school, we were put the chairs upside down of course to make it easier for the janitors before leaving the classrooms and leaving the school for the day in which I found very respectful thing to do because the janitors has the hardest job than the teachers do and that's keeping the schools nice and clean, feeling fresh for the next day, making sure all of the hard floors are completely clean and everything else.
Lol Insym don't be jealous of our lockers, in my highschool students weren't allowed to use the lockers that we had because people were using them for dealing drugs or storing weapons
Back when I was in middle school we had lockers half the size of these, then highschool we had these tall lockers. People would store their instruments for band, or their things for sports, or if you got bullied then bullies would shove you into your own lockers since they were big enough. Depends on the situation, everyone used them differently, you see some that looked empty due to barely getting used, you see some that were extremely decorated inside, you see some where girls would fix their makeup and such in them, you see some guys with half-nude, if not nude pics in them. I personally never used mine, would either forgot the code for the lock, or just carry everything in my bag or on me.
for my school district you have to pay like $20 for a locker (you have to pay once every school year to get it) so like 15 people have lockers at my school cause no one wants to pay. i only carry 2 notebooks + my chromebook anyways so its not really needed
Ah, here in The Philippines we don't have lockers (usually) We kinda just have these horizontal suitcases (with designs of course lmao) that we put our stuff in, on special occasions we just use backpacks My school recently just started using lockers, though we have to pay for them (The way lockers work in my school is that you kinda rent them per year, if you use a locker you're basically only using a backpack and are leaving all unneeded materials at school)
15:40 I know some schools here in Germany that have those little lockers that you described. And I know some schools that have these big lockers. But by most of them you have to pay rent that you can use them. But not all of the schools have them here.
i feel like they should add like some people at some places casually walking then there would be changes to them like them looking at you but also some of the normal anomalies as well added in
Back when I was in school we had lockers as small as the ones that you described, but only had like 100 lockers for over 1000 students. Only some students got to have one, safe to say I was the kid that had a full backpack everyday for 6 years.
The lockers were for book bags, sport gear, coats, instruments, books, projects/materials and then personal belongings if you had space. I imagine Insym’s high school had students store those types of items in the gym locker rooms or band room, and I’m guessing they just carried their bookbags from class to class. Basically, theft can be a real problem, so I think schools went with larger storage lockers so people could safely store most things they feared might be stolen or tampered with and that saved the school headaches of being held responsible. Now, if the student didn’t put a proper lock on and someone tampered with their stuff it was mostly their fault since reasonable private space was provided and they didn’t take the proper precautions to proper store and protect their things.
Here in Slovakia central Europe we don't have lockers at all. Kind of suprised you didn't actually know that some countries don't have them. Also no school bus too.
In Russia we dont have a lockers. You bring all the necessary stuff depending on the schedule for the day and carry everything with you in your backpack.
3:00 From left to right I see a dude sitting at a bus stop with other buildings around him, a heart with a water gourd on top of it, and a pepperoni pizza that I probably would not eat. This game has some Rorschach tests in it, I think :p I should get these games, they seem impossibly spoopy to play solo in the dark :)
I hope the devs include some people sleeping in their bedroom, in observation duty 6. Not an intruder anomaly though Maybe something will change in the people sleeping or some intruder trying to invade the bedroom/apartment Just like the 4 person in the elevator of the apartment level
Can Confirm that Lockers are very rare in Germany. In all the schools where i went there were no lockers there. The best we had was one in each classroom which was used to storage art or crafting materials but nothing more as these could not be locked. in Worst case i needed 3 Bags for the whole day: Sportbag for clearly sport, a Backpack for most lessons and a laptop bag if i had not enough space in the Backpack and needed it for a presentation. We even had some days where we tried the Backpacks out to see who got the heaviest one (It felt like a weight lifting competition)
I don’t really have favorite streamers because my favorite depends on my mood but he’s one I have consistently loved since I first saw his videos and always return to so I would say he’s the closest thing to all time favorite streamer I have
Where I live, only some private schools have lockers. Also, my city had a bus for the elementary only, it stopped taking 12 yo and older to school, and since this school is located in a far away hill , and away from the main residencial area as well, most students would usually see everyone walking together taking the exact same path for about 1.5Km, so almost everyone knew everyone just from going to school xD
yeah germany we have certain days for sports and then we take our sports stuff every morning to school and home in the afternoon again instead of having lockers
Lol, yeah we didn't have lockers either in South Africa. We always carried a backpack with ALL our stuff in it. We also don't have school busses. Our parents are responsible for getting us to school
Late to the party but thought I'd add to the locker discourse, lol. I'm from the US and had lockers in middle school and high school. The middle school ones were half the size of the lockers shown - one layer of lockers from the floorish to about the height of my waist and another row on top of them. For gym class in middle school, we all had little square lockers (about the size of the ones you said you had) to store our clothes and shoes in. If you played sports, then you got a gym locker the size of our normal ones because of whatever equipment you had. My high school gave everyone a mid-size locker until your last year. Seniors had a specific area near the cafeteria where all of their lockers were because they were the only full-size (floor to above my head) lockers in the school, *but* you had to share it with another senior so like... kinda pointless, lol. I have a picture of me standing in my locker on my last day of high school. :D Honestly, I don't remember using my lockers much in middle school since we didn't really have big textbooks to carry around; I'd put my lunch in there and maybe like a project if I wanted to keep it safe and out of the way. I know some people would store raincoats or umbrellas since this was in the top left corner of the US, near where Twilight takes place. I feel like one kid would put his skateboard in his locker because that's how he got to and from school. In high school, I'd store my lunchbox and also swap out my heavy textbooks so I didn't have to have three or four in my backpack all day. And senior year when I shared a !!huge locker!! with my friend, we decorated the inside with pictures of Tom Daley, lmao. We also put a tiny battery-powered Christmas tree in there during December and had a magnetic whiteboard we'd use to write notes to each other. Anyway, I always love hearing about cultural differences like this. I just wish my country's culture wasn't "they bring dogs through the school occasionally to sniff the lockers and make sure nobody's storing drugs or weapons inside them." :')
hot topic on lockers in american schools, my high school years, we weren't given a locker nor the time to deposit things or retrieve things, and the lockers were just practically useless, so useless in fact the school removed them instead of giving the students more time to actually use them
Kids in the USA have lockers that big because they’re not allowed to take their bags to class with them. For some stupid reason. When I was in school we couldn’t even take jackets or hoodies or anything at all. Additionally, when I was in high school the amount and sizes of books are crazy
It probably stands for "Bureau of Anomaly Detection and Containment" or "Bureau of Anomaly Detection and Cleanup". 10:08 that fan sounds exactly like a helicopter lol.
About the lockers part in the school: I could barely fit anything in my locker during high school (Dutch as well) - worst thing is that I got the highest one while being 1.53m... Wasn't a fun time, haha. But I do still prefer the system of small lockers like I have in college right now!
My middle school and first high school in New Mexico we had buses and lockers in school but they were a little bigger than what you had. When I moved back to Cali we had school buses I think but not many used em and we didn't have any lockers at all

Here, where I live in Canada, we have big lockers because for most of the school year, we need thick winter jackets, and lockers are the best place to put them. alongside a place to put winter boots away and change to indoor shoes because nobody wants to wear big boots inside. We didn't need the lockers for school stuff, we needed it for storing winter stuff.
In the US where I am, a year ago (when I was in highschool) they took away the ability to use lockers because people were hiding stuff like guns and dealing drugs with them. People we're even planting ammo inside other people's lockers to try to get them expelled. US schools vary WILDLY.
@@pixxlated_ well yeah... That's US Schools x3
In Romania there's no lockers, or at least usable ones. I remember in like 1-8th grade we had lockers in the hallway, but nobody had keys for them and some were broken, so they were literally useless. I had to carry a huge backpack full of books, notes, and other stuff every single day from 1st grade to 12th. My back still hurts :)
@@plumcat5018 between kindergarten and 6th grade, our lockers didn't lock. 7th grade and on we were allowed to bring our own locks to lock the lockers.
We don't have lockers as well in Turkey, like at all even in the winter heavy regions, just carry your books daily according to the classes haha, we do have coat hangers in the classrooms though.
27:24 such a polite gentleman, he said hello in such a nice way
Hey check the twitch stream from 1:06:10 onwards to continue where this video cut off. www.twitch.tv/videos/1482856575
The title of the stream (his latest observation duty stream basically) is I'M ON OBSERVATION DUTY 5! - Help me find ALL the NEW anomalies!
Thank you! I also have uploaded the last 12 minutes to youtube, you can find it here: Yes! th-cam.com/video/IjpTMcEm7To/w-d-xo.html
On the locker discussion: In my schools the lockers were about half the size of the ones in-game so it was two per section. Some of the time it was because you were expected to keep your coats and sometimes backpacks in them throughout the day along with textbooks, etc. you don't need currently (they were very inconsistent with whether we were about to bring backpacks with us to class and they required we bring every oversized textbook with us every day. RIP our little spines ). Granted this was in Texas and i graduated 12 years ago so things may have changed since.
Side note: Most schools i went to had fun rules about the lockers at the end of the year. You were required to clean out your locker a few weeks before end of year or they would throw away everything thing inside. Textbooks, clothes, pictures, etc. but the schools loved to randomly change the cutoff date and bin stuff early. Didnt get your stuff out? Tough. So fun.
17:10 omg XD that was hilariously well timed! this game is incredibly! love watching you play through these!
And lol, speaking of other places and school. Back during primary I would walk back and forth to school. I remember looking forward to it too. Quieter days.
We don't have lockers in Australia. My school attempted to introduce lockers you could hire, $2 for a week, but they only lasted a week before bad students literally tore them out of the ground. I still don't know how they did it, but they really just ripped the bolts out of the concrete. It was honestly kind of impressive
good god, that's the sort of strength you get to rescue a child from underneath a car!
my school's locker system is kinda weird, there arent a lot of lockers but if theres a free one you can just buy a lock and take it for free. the lockers are also tiny lol
I'm always intrigued at how western schools has lockers. At the very least, here in Borneo we've never had lockers.
Any utensils, books, or even outfits like gym clothing or event dresses are just stashed right into your bag. Having a heavy backpack is the norm around here lol.
Indeed! Where I'm from (nearby btw), we often carry extra bags AND still stash our objects (or even the bags themselves) inside underneath our desks, so technically, the space under our desks become our "lockers" lmao
Same here in Germany. I mean one school had lockers if you could afford to pay for it. But it was pretty expensive.
The intruder in the checkout at about 46:00 was visible in the distance from the produce camera, just over the shelf partition wall blocking the checkout view. You could see his head. Proves intruders physically spawn before you switch to their camera. It was gone after you reported him.
We saw that in the first game I think (the intruder that flew to the camera from the sofa if you reported him)
@@SergeantXray Ah. Didn't see that.
It's always interesting to hear how different schools in other countries work. We never had lockers when I was in school (US). We had to carry everything around with us. Lunch, homework, water, gym clothes, textbooks etc...everything went in your backpack. They were heavy!
27:05 YOOO THAT GORILLA VIDEO WAS SOOOO OLD!! Core memory just unlocked lmao.
But man I love the culture shock talks and the conversations about how different it is in different countries. Love the observation duty for so many reasons, keep it up Brosym!
"We`ve got a ball over DEL" at 2:30 Love this! 😂😂😂
19:58 The true face of terror lmao
nothing’s better than watching insym play horror games for dinner!!
3:50 FINALLY SOMEONE WHO MENTIONS KORFBAL HAHAHAH
That was really fun! Thank you for playing, Insym!
14:00 American school lockers are usually half that size. They would be divided into a top locker and a bottom locker. But now I'm hearing that gen z don't use their lockers?! Which makes no sense to me.
Lmao we don’t have time for lockers anymore. I have 5 minutes to get from the top of a building to the other side of the campus

This is defenetly the best game of the series, I love the new report system and the skinny prince is also funny. I also love the elevator men and the announcements on the metro map
I’m American. I’ve never attended schools that used lockers. In elementary school (I believe that’s primary, for any European readers), we only had backpack racks. In middle school/junior high, we left our backpacks in the hallway during class, if I remember correctly. In high school, I think we just kept our backpacks with us. And for college, we were just left to our own devices on what to do with our stuff, though that could be left to the professor’s discretion, I guess.
For that gorilla video you are talking about, I watched it for the first time in my intro to psych class in college and I said loudly “monke” when he walked through and the professor got mad since I distracted the point of the test lol. That was my fave college class tbh they were so chill and chaotic.
Keep up the awesome work!!! I love all your observation duty content!!! I was waiting for the upload, lol. Also, FIRST!
I had lockers like that in elementary school, but the ones in my high school were half that size. My elementary school had them at the back of our homerooms, and were only meant for coats, umbrellas, and sometimes bags.
in my french high school we had lockers, but not enough for all students. so students with disabilities were prioritized for locker accessibility, and for the others it was first up, first served.
i absolutely love these games and your coverage of them, keep up the good work
I love the way the intro is always chil then 1 sec later turns into a perfectly cut scream heheh AH-
I don't know about the weather in the Netherlands, but in Canada big lockers allow you to put your winter coat and boots away, in addition to books and things.
We had lockers at my high school, but they were pretty much vestigial by that point since everyone carried their bags around everywhere.
Insym: We dont have that big locker
My friends and I: you have locker in your highschool? 🤔🤔
The reverb in the intro is great, thanks for the laugh man.
Dude, I love all your observation duty videos.
While I was going to school, we were put the chairs upside down of course to make it easier for the janitors before leaving the classrooms and leaving the school for the day in which I found very respectful thing to do because the janitors has the hardest job than the teachers do and that's keeping the schools nice and clean, feeling fresh for the next day, making sure all of the hard floors are completely clean and everything else.
Ah yes, I too often visit the "cold flesh" section in the local grocery store
Lol Insym don't be jealous of our lockers, in my highschool students weren't allowed to use the lockers that we had because people were using them for dealing drugs or storing weapons
BOADAC - Bureau of Anomaly Detection and Containment maybe?
strong SCP vibes
Back when I was in middle school we had lockers half the size of these, then highschool we had these tall lockers. People would store their instruments for band, or their things for sports, or if you got bullied then bullies would shove you into your own lockers since they were big enough. Depends on the situation, everyone used them differently, you see some that looked empty due to barely getting used, you see some that were extremely decorated inside, you see some where girls would fix their makeup and such in them, you see some guys with half-nude, if not nude pics in them. I personally never used mine, would either forgot the code for the lock, or just carry everything in my bag or on me.
American lockers are so tall so we can push smaller kids into them for High School Drama (TM) reasons.
for my school district you have to pay like $20 for a locker (you have to pay once every school year to get it) so like 15 people have lockers at my school cause no one wants to pay. i only carry 2 notebooks + my chromebook anyways so its not really needed
Is it just me, or is the video cut off pretty abruptly at the end?
Yes! The render got messed up. The last 12 minutes of the video are right here: th-cam.com/video/IjpTMcEm7To/w-d-xo.html
I really like how you explain and play this game!!! For me this game was so interesting, if not because of you I wouldn't know this game exist..
Ah, here in The Philippines we don't have lockers (usually)
We kinda just have these horizontal suitcases (with designs of course lmao) that we put our stuff in, on special occasions we just use backpacks
My school recently just started using lockers, though we have to pay for them (The way lockers work in my school is that you kinda rent them per year, if you use a locker you're basically only using a backpack and are leaving all unneeded materials at school)
15:40 I know some schools here in Germany that have those little lockers that you described. And I know some schools that have these big lockers. But by most of them you have to pay rent that you can use them. But not all of the schools have them here.
we have lockers in austria, they're like half of the size like in the school map of the game
but i dont know about germany though
46:23 "First intruder on the market" and first intruder off the market
i feel like they should add like some people at some places casually walking then there would be changes to them like them looking at you but also some of the normal anomalies as well added in
Back when I was in school we had lockers as small as the ones that you described, but only had like 100 lockers for over 1000 students.
Only some students got to have one, safe to say I was the kid that had a full backpack everyday for 6 years.
"You have no lockers in Germany?"
"No lockers in France?"
And no lockers in Finland either
The lockers were for book bags, sport gear, coats, instruments, books, projects/materials and then personal belongings if you had space. I imagine Insym’s high school had students store those types of items in the gym locker rooms or band room, and I’m guessing they just carried their bookbags from class to class.
Basically, theft can be a real problem, so I think schools went with larger storage lockers so people could safely store most things they feared might be stolen or tampered with and that saved the school headaches of being held responsible. Now, if the student didn’t put a proper lock on and someone tampered with their stuff it was mostly their fault since reasonable private space was provided and they didn’t take the proper precautions to proper store and protect their things.
The jumping platforms are basically springs, and it doesn't help much if you are, for example, a small child.
14:00 - you need bigger lockers for extracurricular activities, e.g. for instruments or sports equipment etc.
I was a US student and we had lockers in the hall but no one was allowed to use them, they were zip tied shut
i had tall lockers like that 20 years ago
I kept a rain coat and my lacrosse and baseball stuff in there. And then text books and notebooks.
Here in Slovakia central Europe we don't have lockers at all. Kind of suprised you didn't actually know that some countries don't have them. Also no school bus too.
Intruder: Hello!
Insym: WHAT DA FUCK MAN.
Insym chat is full of well cultured man , they all love the office room
skinny prince vs huge man was the edward vs jacob debate in the late 2000s
In Russia we dont have a lockers. You bring all the necessary stuff depending on the schedule for the day and carry everything with you in your backpack.
3:00
From left to right I see a dude sitting at a bus stop with other buildings around him, a heart with a water gourd on top of it, and a pepperoni pizza that I probably would not eat. This game has some Rorschach tests in it, I think :p
I should get these games, they seem impossibly spoopy to play solo in the dark :)
I hope the devs include some people sleeping in their bedroom, in observation duty 6. Not an intruder anomaly though
Maybe something will change in the people sleeping or some intruder trying to invade the bedroom/apartment
Just like the 4 person in the elevator of the apartment level
in greece we dont have lockers either and we just carry our books in our bags and thats pretty much the only thing we need
Can Confirm that Lockers are very rare in Germany. In all the schools where i went there were no lockers there. The best we had was one in each classroom which was used to storage art or crafting materials but nothing more as these could not be locked. in Worst case i needed 3 Bags for the whole day: Sportbag for clearly sport, a Backpack for most lessons and a laptop bag if i had not enough space in the Backpack and needed it for a presentation. We even had some days where we tried the Backpacks out to see who got the heaviest one (It felt like a weight lifting competition)
I enjoy watching you and the chat play together. It's rather wholesome. Your viewers seem pretty non-toxic.
We had half as big lockers but only for coats/jackets and shoes, we had special school shoes. In highschool we dont have lockers and some go by bus
I was so hyped for the second video coming out. Keep it up!
I don’t really have favorite streamers because my favorite depends on my mood but he’s one I have consistently loved since I first saw his videos and always return to so I would say he’s the closest thing to all time favorite streamer I have
Where I live, only some private schools have lockers. Also, my city had a bus for the elementary only, it stopped taking 12 yo and older to school, and since this school is located in a far away hill , and away from the main residencial area as well, most students would usually see everyone walking together taking the exact same path for about 1.5Km, so almost everyone knew everyone just from going to school xD
yeah germany we have certain days for sports and then we take our sports stuff every morning to school and home in the afternoon again instead of having lockers
I think the organization's acronym stands for "Board Of Anomaly Detection And Containment"
One thing I realize is that every room has atleast 1 Object movement, 1 object disappearance and 1 extra object.
just today rewatched this game on twitch. big maps are the best! love you
Lol, yeah we didn't have lockers either in South Africa. We always carried a backpack with ALL our stuff in it. We also don't have school busses. Our parents are responsible for getting us to school
Late to the party but thought I'd add to the locker discourse, lol. I'm from the US and had lockers in middle school and high school. The middle school ones were half the size of the lockers shown - one layer of lockers from the floorish to about the height of my waist and another row on top of them. For gym class in middle school, we all had little square lockers (about the size of the ones you said you had) to store our clothes and shoes in. If you played sports, then you got a gym locker the size of our normal ones because of whatever equipment you had.
My high school gave everyone a mid-size locker until your last year. Seniors had a specific area near the cafeteria where all of their lockers were because they were the only full-size (floor to above my head) lockers in the school, *but* you had to share it with another senior so like... kinda pointless, lol. I have a picture of me standing in my locker on my last day of high school. :D
Honestly, I don't remember using my lockers much in middle school since we didn't really have big textbooks to carry around; I'd put my lunch in there and maybe like a project if I wanted to keep it safe and out of the way. I know some people would store raincoats or umbrellas since this was in the top left corner of the US, near where Twilight takes place. I feel like one kid would put his skateboard in his locker because that's how he got to and from school. In high school, I'd store my lunchbox and also swap out my heavy textbooks so I didn't have to have three or four in my backpack all day. And senior year when I shared a !!huge locker!! with my friend, we decorated the inside with pictures of Tom Daley, lmao. We also put a tiny battery-powered Christmas tree in there during December and had a magnetic whiteboard we'd use to write notes to each other.
Anyway, I always love hearing about cultural differences like this. I just wish my country's culture wasn't "they bring dogs through the school occasionally to sniff the lockers and make sure nobody's storing drugs or weapons inside them." :')
Really scared of this game, but love watching it. So here I am again after a while xD
I BET that B.O.A.D.A.C. stands for "Bureau of Anomaly Detection and Correction".
here where i live we had lockers but we weren't allowed to use them due to people hiding drugs/weapons in there
hot topic on lockers in american schools, my high school years, we weren't given a locker nor the time to deposit things or retrieve things, and the lockers were just practically useless, so useless in fact the school removed them instead of giving the students more time to actually use them
17:12 that bad world thai language *ai heer*
@ 27:28 it sounded like the intruder said "oooh no!" at being reported XD
Kids in the USA have lockers that big because they’re not allowed to take their bags to class with them. For some stupid reason. When I was in school we couldn’t even take jackets or hoodies or anything at all. Additionally, when I was in high school the amount and sizes of books are crazy
It probably stands for "Bureau of Anomaly Detection and Containment" or "Bureau of Anomaly Detection and Cleanup".
10:08 that fan sounds exactly like a helicopter lol.
15:48 yeah in Brazil we have no lockers also
Insym that forgets that northen school also have lockers and stydents needs a place to put their winter clothes during class
shot in the dark here, but I believe B.O.A.D.A.C might stand for Bureau Of Anomaly Detection And Containment
We actually have mats like that under the urinals where i work. Always felt gross standing on them...
About the lockers part in the school: I could barely fit anything in my locker during high school (Dutch as well) - worst thing is that I got the highest one while being 1.53m... Wasn't a fun time, haha. But I do still prefer the system of small lockers like I have in college right now!
Hey insym i never knew you were dutch but i know you are a legend
My middle school and first high school in New Mexico we had buses and lockers in school but they were a little bigger than what you had. When I moved back to Cali we had school buses I think but not many used em and we didn't have any lockers at all
