Caitlin RC I have no idea what your time zone is but I like to imagine that was you just startling awake in a panic, several hours after watching the video, like "WAIT. SOMETHING'S WRONG."
Yes only the left counts. My mother hates it when I do it. But I thought as a kid that it was so cool when Spock did it, I learned how. I'm better at it on the left but I can do both. Funnily I'm better at doing the Vulcan salute with my left hand too and yet I'm right handed.
Congrats, Mike! Also, thanks for briefly making me care about a round of Fortnite. And about a round of golf. Both are completely unprecedented, even individually. I guess it took their combined forces to intrigue me.
I think that’s great advice, inspiring actually. “Don’t worry about the people shooting at you, focus on golf”. Brings a tear to what’s left of my eye.
I hit the like button just for Andy's attempt to correct Jane and Mike's historical not-true facts and Mike's hilarious attempt to distract him and save us all.
To finish Andy's thought, to the best of my knowledge, what historians currently think were the hand signals in gladiatorial games were: Thumbs up representing swords towards heaven, meaning kill the guy. Thumb held in fist in the opposite hand representing swords sheathed, meaning spare the guy. Of course gladiator deaths in the games were very rare, as it makes little sense to invest thousands of denarii into training, equipping, housing, and feeding a gladiator if he's just going to die almost immediately. Most of the time, the people being killed in the arena were criminals, rebels, and prisoners of war.
"The hardcore." Call them what they are, Mike. The nutcases. The people who pay for stuff that doesn't give them an advantage in an otherwise free game. Those people are crazy.
When Jane said "I was going to be more euphemistic" I missed what Mike said the first time. I died laughing once I skipped backwards ten seconds GO MIKE STICK IT TO THEM
I grew up in the American south, in an area with a lot of hunters and responsible gun owners. I learned how to shoot in the Scouts and for the longest time as a teen my friends and I played Military Simulation airsoft; not pro or anything, but we had several acres of woods and cheap military surplus gear, I even had a homemade ghillie suit. Honestly learning from a young age to be responsible with and how to properly operate a firearm is integral to any society that has firearms in it; which is almost all of them at this point, at least in my opinion. Since they're going to be around, we might as well make sure that safety and respect for the power of a gun are ingrained in us.
Moichendizing! - Fortnite the lunchbox, Fortnite the action figure, Fortnite the Flamethrower! *fwoosh* Kids love this one. (... I'm sorry every time someone brings up merchandising in any context I have to quote Spaceballs.)
This gives me an idea. Imagine golf, but it takes place in a massive outdoors obstacle course, and all the players have paintball rifles. Every time someone gets hit, it adds five strokes to their golf score card, and forces them to walk back to a respawn point.
I like the fact that epic have added a soothing game of golf to the frenetic battle royal. Who knows, for season six we may get a spa with a relaxing steam room.
If I had to pick something from Fortnite to show up in real-world sports, it would be the construction. Imagine if people playing football could just set up a big wall in the middle of the field as the other team was _just_ about to pass the ball!
After that brief history lesson at the end i'm waiting for the official OXbox History Show with Andy constantly telling everyone the true history of things.
To finish what Andy was saying, the thumb up gesture was not actually part of the entire gladiator thing. Instead of thumb up, it was a throat slashing gesture with the thumb. The emperor would either do thumb down or throat slash. Thumb down meant "No do not kill" and throat slash obviously meant "Yes kill him". To be honest a good majority of the time a gladiator was spared because its hard to replace a trained gladiator constantly, though some emperors obviously killed more often.
Mike: I've been teaching myself the eyebrow thing. Jane: Nothing is happening though. Luke slowly approaches while leaving the shadows of his past behind-which was taken from him by Dwayne the Eyebrow man- and stands right in front of Mike. The air is heavier than ever but Luke raises his head in pure honor and says these words: 'Hold my beer, son.' Rest is history...
from some documentary which may or may not have been right i've heard that the thumbs up was actually a call to continue fighting, the thumb representing a sword, and it was either a closed fist or a horizontal thumb for them to stop, or lay down their swords.
What the golf carts are good for, is when you've suddenly realized you've dallied a bit too long, the storm is closing in and there is a vehicle, that moves far faster than you do running, right in front of you. (personal experience. Lol)
After feeling like battle royal has been over saturated, this weeks challenge has inspired me to try survivor golf... squad fortnight most holes b4 death wins!
Dang it! Andy didn't get to finish! But for those curious... The idea is that a thumbs down means throw down your sword and a thumbs up is approval to kill. The exact sign to kill is a bit disputed. Some say the thumb down into a fist means kill, others say the thumb bent back is to kill, but thumbs down actually means to spare someone.
To finish what Andy was saying at the end, thumb down spared the Gladiator and meant "No do not kill" and thumb to the throat meant "Yes kill him". There wasn't really a thumbs up gesture. It was either thumbs down to spare or throat slashing movement to kill the gladiator.
I think it's great that parents can play Fortnite with their kids. Yes there are real weapons and stuff but it's so over the top that it's safe I think in terms of how they're going to take it. Of course that's part of my argument about why I like Monty Python.
"OXvania, OXvania, it is a place where you can live!" I've watched y'all play city builders on here, I think you might be overselling the survivability of OXvania.
Toys of Fortnight being unsuitable for kids. Don't worry about toys that have machine guns. You forgot the 90s where Robocop, Terminator and even Rambo had toys for kids. Fortnight is good. I miss the 90s.
Since Jane smacked that doll, I've been terrified for it. I'm pretty sure it's going to be used in a ritual to Cthulhu. Or be ELDRICH BLAST ELDRICH BLAST ELDRICH BLASTed.
Thank the Notification Squid it's Friday, friends! Here's a Show of the Week to get the weekend started right. Please do enjoy.
OXOX
outsidexbox OXOX. That's clever 😁
TTNSIF isn't quite as catchy as TGIF, but that's not going to stop me using it from now on!
outsidexbox I’m having lunch with the Notification Squid right now. It says “Hello.”
"Notification Squid"
I was so expecting Mike to hand Andy the joke popsicle stick after reading and it actually saying "you are pregnant".
OX, paper, scissors: Andy's history facts bore Jane, Jane's schemes trick Mike, Mike's lack of restraint frustrates Andy.

TheDoubleHELO this is gold.
Why are we always cruelly denied the historical accuracy Andy brings to the table?!?!?
Can we just give Andy a video of him correcting history facts already? He keeps getting cut off.
Incitos Sol true maybe it will quiet him
Yes please!
I want this! OutsideHistory?
Ecen Cronzeton - there should also be a companion channel for history of a jurassic nature, OutsideDinosaurs 😉
Don't forget boats.
WAIT. THEY DIDN'T GO FOR LUNCH. SOUND THE ALARM!
Caitlin RC I have no idea what your time zone is but I like to imagine that was you just startling awake in a panic, several hours after watching the video, like "WAIT. SOMETHING'S WRONG."
This could be the alternate universe version of oxbox
I would like to think Caitlin RC woke in a panic saying this before seeing the video...
The times they are changing.
Slew One queen jane rules with an iron fist over oxvania
noooooo, let Andy finish his history facts please
"If Andy were a Roman Emperor..", would be a great working title for a fanfic...just sayin...
It may need to be "Andy Farrant" as there are many Andy's out there. XD
Its overrated to be honest.
In all honesty, Andy has Jane to compete with. I'm not sure how that really would go over.
Nah, obviously the title would be: "The Roman Empire, but with Andy Farrant"
I'm laughing at Mike, despite the fact that I've also been through the phase of trying to do the "eyebrow thing."
Ayan Haider we should make a cult
Ayan Haider it did teach my self something like that
Eurus Adventum I'm sure there already are some
Yes only the left counts. My mother hates it when I do it. But I thought as a kid that it was so cool when Spock did it, I learned how. I'm better at it on the left but I can do both. Funnily I'm better at doing the Vulcan salute with my left hand too and yet I'm right handed.
Haven't we all, lol
I want to watch Andy correct Jane's history facts. And Luke rant about dinosaurs. And the video always ends when they get to it /sighs
Being a Dark Lord Jane's version of history is a bit different than what's considered 'officially' true...
And also listen to Ellen talk about Kingd*ms of Amal*r and why it's so great.
Anytime Mike says 'he's fluffed it', I imagine him and the other crew jumping around on fluffy pillows
Whereas a lot of people presumably react to any suggestion of Mike having "fluffed" anything by trying desperately to not imagine anything at all
Congrats, Mike! Also, thanks for briefly making me care about a round of Fortnite. And about a round of golf. Both are completely unprecedented, even individually. I guess it took their combined forces to intrigue me.
Never have I seen a golfer running after the ball just after he's hit it! (Also love the commentary Andy and Jane)
"A point for mike"
"He'll be happy with that."
You guys playing the OG Fortnite menu music in the background....that brings me back. Such good feels.
*TAKE HIS STUFF TAKE HIS BUGGY TAKE HIS STUFF TAKE HIS BUGGY TAKE HIS STUFF TAKE HIS BUGGY*
I think that’s great advice, inspiring actually. “Don’t worry about the people shooting at you, focus on golf”. Brings a tear to what’s left of my eye.
I hit the like button just for Andy's attempt to correct Jane and Mike's historical not-true facts and Mike's hilarious attempt to distract him and save us all.
You finally found a way to make golf exciting. All the PGA tour needed was snipers and a doom storm bearing down on the golf course.
I appreciate the Oxbox Crew are staying true to the Oxbox office lore..
Darn it Mike i was actually interested in what Andy was going to say about the Roman Emperors
To finish Andy's thought, to the best of my knowledge, what historians currently think were the hand signals in gladiatorial games were:
Thumbs up representing swords towards heaven, meaning kill the guy.
Thumb held in fist in the opposite hand representing swords sheathed, meaning spare the guy.

"The hardcore."
Call them what they are, Mike. The nutcases. The people who pay for stuff that doesn't give them an advantage in an otherwise free game. Those people are crazy.
“If ya smeeeeellllllllll what the Mike...exploded.”
mattsterpiecevision
It smells of gunpowder and soot.
“If I were a Roman Emperor...” I’ve never wanted to hear the end of a sentence more 😂
Jane: Low key, low profile golfing.
2 seconds later: BOOOOOOM!!!!!
I can’t imagine anyone watching OXbox hoping they “git gud” at any game. Part of the charm of these guys is their middle of the road skill.
No "do you wanna get lunch?" bit? Treason!!
Mike's golf challenge was actually the tensest game of fortnite I've ever seen.
When Jane said "I was going to be more euphemistic" I missed what Mike said the first time. I died laughing once I skipped backwards ten seconds GO MIKE STICK IT TO THEM
Andy being a history buff and correcting other people is by far my favorite part of OXbox
I grew up in the American south, in an area with a lot of hunters and responsible gun owners. I learned how to shoot in the Scouts and for the longest time as a teen my friends and I played Military Simulation airsoft; not pro or anything, but we had several acres of woods and cheap military surplus gear, I even had a homemade ghillie suit.

The first show of the week I watched.
I legit did a Tiger Woods fist pump when Mike hit that last hole!
So I take it Andy's being sent on the rocket this time?
Moichendizing! - Fortnite the lunchbox, Fortnite the action figure, Fortnite the Flamethrower! *fwoosh* Kids love this one.
(... I'm sorry every time someone brings up merchandising in any context I have to quote Spaceballs.)
mistformsquirrel never apologise for quoting Spaceballs
Wheeling around in a panic and shooting someone in the face is a pretty good summary of how I play almost every game
In Mike’s Fortnite challenge he really channelled the spirit of Arnie. Palmer that is.
This gives me an idea. Imagine golf, but it takes place in a massive outdoors obstacle course, and all the players have paintball rifles. Every time someone gets hit, it adds five strokes to their golf score card, and forces them to walk back to a respawn point.
Great job, Mike. That was a fun challenge.
Am I the only one that really wanted Andy to finish his roman gestures lecture. Damn it mike
Can't believe I actually made it into one of the videos! I was one of the people playing when they were in the squad mode on fornite
I like the fact that epic have added a soothing game of golf to the frenetic battle royal. Who knows, for season six we may get a spa with a relaxing steam room.
Mike's golf skills have a FAIRWAY to go.
If I had to pick something from Fortnite to show up in real-world sports, it would be the construction. Imagine if people playing football could just set up a big wall in the middle of the field as the other team was _just_ about to pass the ball!
Inspired by "The Rock, whilst wearing a "Macho Man" t shirt 😂😂
Another advantage the golf cart has is to get out of a fire fight quickly, or if the storm is closing in to get out over there ASAP.
Watching this is way more entertaining than watching golf
I for one love Andy's history lessons.
Pressing the like button to spare Jane and Mike from Andy's history facts. No one should be subjected to Andy rambling about history.
If that doll did try to attack Jane I'm almost 100% sure she turned it into some sort of face eating robot using the doll as a power source.
challenge of the week was INTENSE. Miracle he avoided death
After that brief history lesson at the end i'm waiting for the official OXbox History Show with Andy constantly telling everyone the true history of things.
No! Mike! Let Andy finish! - Darn. I wanted to hear more about gladiators.
"Do you like gladiator movies?"
To finish what Andy was saying, the thumb up gesture was not actually part of the entire gladiator thing. Instead of thumb up, it was a throat slashing gesture with the thumb. The emperor would either do thumb down or throat slash. Thumb down meant "No do not kill" and throat slash obviously meant "Yes kill him".
To be honest a good majority of the time a gladiator was spared because its hard to replace a trained gladiator constantly, though some emperors obviously killed more often.
"That's not how real golf works, Jane."
Mike, who just got a golf ball to the flag with his feet, golf expert
So you interrupted Andy's love of history with Andy's love of wrestling. Well played.
Finally, we have found a way to distract Andy from his history lectures, with that being Mike failing really hard at the eyebrow thing.
I think i speak on behalf 9f eveeyone when i say WELL DONE MIKE! I was nervous for you!
Mike: I've been teaching myself the eyebrow thing.
Jane: Nothing is happening though.
Luke slowly approaches while leaving the shadows of his past behind-which was taken from him by Dwayne the Eyebrow man- and stands right in front of Mike. The air is heavier than ever but Luke raises his head in pure honor and says these words: 'Hold my beer, son.' Rest is history...

RIP Spooky Doll...2018-2018. Never forget its last words: and what are you going to do to stop me oh god, how did you even get a golf cart in here?
NOOO, don't stop me from learning ancient Rome facts!
Is no one else worried that Mike learns what things do by putting his face in them? Nobody buy him a blender! Or a microwave!
After feeling like battle royal has been over saturated, this weeks challenge has inspired me to try survivor golf... squad fortnight most holes b4 death wins!
.....ehhhemmm live stream idea
History lesson with Andy one of these days, please!
Complete with epic soundtrack!
I would very much like to see Mitchell and Webb do GolfWANG!
Guys i think emo andy is back. The time travel pikachu worked.
"Fact or Fiction with Farrantula" should be on Netflix~
If they add a shrinking death circle to the world cup, I will immediately become a soccer fan. It's an idea whose time has come!
Jane your NEVER too old for finger guns !!
Put down the dwarven rocket boots, Luke. You can't cheat like Kippers in every game.
Damn it, Mike! I was enjoying Andy's history facts!
That's numberwang!
Ha... that first hole is pretty much me at golf... except for the shotgun. Shotguns were oddly absent.
Dang it! Andy didn't get to finish! But for those curious...
The idea is that a thumbs down means throw down your sword and a thumbs up is approval to kill. The exact sign to kill is a bit disputed. Some say the thumb down into a fist means kill, others say the thumb bent back is to kill, but thumbs down actually means to spare someone.
Antiwang? No, it's Numberwang!
I'm so happy someone else thought of Numberwang ^_^
Yay show of the week. Awesome
Oxbox, I don't thing y'all been to North Carolina. Famous for for it's major pinehurst golf course and beaches.
When you were talking about things like Fortnite lunchboxes, Funko are making Fortnite pops
And that's GolfWang! 😁😁
ItsOllieC: It's over Luke! I have the high ground!
Luke: iT's oVeR luKe! i hAve tHe hiGh gRouNd!

I've watched y'all play city builders on here, I think you might be overselling the survivability of OXvania.
If you start building from the shoreline you can sprint across water by building floor ... or a really long dock I suppose.
"Ohhh yyeaahhhh!!" Righteous wrestling shirts guys.
"That's not how real golf works, Jane" - Mike says, playing with a pickaxe
The Oxbox Extended Universe post credits scenes are better than Marvel's
I was in one of Jane's games!!! We had a disco and Jane was the DJ, lots of fun 😁
I wanted the end of Andy's history lesson! Oxvania Invicta!
Nice Victory Royale Mike :)
Aw, what a shame! I really wanted to hear Andy's explanation of Roman emperor hand signals! D:
sooo no games out this week huh, guys? good job as always though
OMG I forgot about the old Fortnite theme song and they played it all the way! So much nostalgia from the holidays in one generic song :(
who else noticed that whenever Mike(Mighty seven) score into a put, it get announced server wide, still he scored up to 5th hole, and placed 18 total.
How the heck did they manage to get Dwayne The Rock Johnson in this SotW ?!? The OX team must know some seriously well placed people.
Advantage: if your on one side of the map, and the circle is on the other side of the map, it is quicker to get there.
Andy: It's skirting the rim of the bunker
[jump cut]
Andy: Jane, let's play polite golf
What DID Jane say off-camera?
Toys of Fortnight being unsuitable for kids. Don't worry about toys that have machine guns. You forgot the 90s where Robocop, Terminator and even Rambo had toys for kids. Fortnight is good. I miss the 90s.
Since Jane smacked that doll, I've been terrified for it. I'm pretty sure it's going to be used in a ritual to Cthulhu. Or be ELDRICH BLAST ELDRICH BLAST ELDRICH BLASTed.
