Show of the Weekend! Ellen must re-voice Resident Evil 2 and compose her own ocarina melody in a spectacular anniversary quiz. Plus your comments, drawing challenges, Andy, and more. Enjoy!
If you ask nicely I am sure they will ship his remains to you :) His airtight box will keep the smell of decay inside, so I am sure it will make it through shipping.
Christoph H no he seems more evil and no it can’t be he has stealth skills and is secretly the most evil but he.....gets murdered by unseen undetectable assassin
I tried the Ellen song on the ocarina, my hair turned purple and it summoned a choir of kittens that began to meow the Kingdoms of Amalur Main Theme. so theres that.
The best moments are when Ellen laughs so hard she stops making any noise and just rolls around on the couch. Although in those moments I do worry a bit because she doesn't seem to be breathing...
When you realise 'Ellens Song' is Blue Oyster Cult's Dont fear the Reaper.. I always wondered why people would get attacked by cats when that was played
Holy shit, you are on every video and mentioned in so many show of the week videos. I hate you for it, but you totally deserve to be flown out and meet them because you are a super fan lol
omg the Hyrule Field from LoZOoT during the quiz section gave me such nostalgia feels ALSO Happy New year's! ALSO! how dare Tall-Ellen not be here for the first show of 2018! ALSO, Ellen And NotLuke honestly have really good chemistry. ALSOO Simon the cat. always in our thoughts.
I finally realized why I love Ellen, she has the exact same laugh as my wife lol. I wish I could post an attachment of them both laughing lmao. Happy new year folks
For the past 3 weeks I've been having my final medical exams. I watched your videos in the little free time I had, and somehow you managed to make me forget my exams even existed. So from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much for that.
I think the Infamous Chocolate Mug Cake Incident was the first Show of the Weekend (or Show of the Week) I watched; since then I've been an avid fan. You guys have given me so many smiles over a really rough few months (and introduced me to some fantastic games)! Thanks for everything. :)
Nothing makes me smile more than waking up on a Saturday, making myself a cup of tea and having some morning crumpets while I watch my favourite youtube shows Show of the Week and Show of the Weekend. You guys are awesome, here's to a great 2018 for you and all the fans too
Zero Dawn is a very relevant name in the game. Not sure about the Horizon part though. However the backstory is mostly about Evil Egyptian culture and references versus "Good" Greek culture and references.
The fact that Andy doesn't remember who Luke is shows the fact that the OXbox crew just used the OXtra crew as their minions to do the hardwork without caring them
Actually there are many different types of English accents (which is what the entire OX crew have) & there's no such thing as a British accent as Britain encompasses England, Wales, Scotland, & Northern Ireland all of which also have their own regional accents.
What about a program witch job is to remake the world after it has ended, and we will use a evolution like design to make the most optimal robots to do it, and it will all be controled by a AI that can deside when its time to try to remake the world and what design the robots shall haw in this world and if it failed it can destroy the world to try agein... what could possibbley go wrong?
What if these robot dinosaurs were built to make the perfect donut, but there was a war between the humans over which donut was the best and factions between glazed, old fashioned, maple bars, and all the types formed and destroyed the world in the Great Donut War of 2056?
Getting one's comment mentioned in a Show of the Weekend is like reading your favourite book series, only to find a winning lottery ticket on one of the pages
I originally subscribed for your lists and it took the christmas challenge to fully realize that you guys are amazing, funny, and genuinely good people and that there is other amazing content from you guys that I have been blind to. You guys are the best, keep it up!
No no no, Ellen's codename would obviously be Adorable Bunny. She would lure the enemies in with her charming personality and then go Caerbannog on them.
Im so glad u guys are talking about Horizon Zero Dawn! Its such an amazing game and ive only gotten around to playing it just a few weeks ago myself. Glad to see this game still being talked about even after a year ♡
zaqzilla1 Bloodlines was really the last hurrah in every respect. The developer of the game shutdown afterwards, White Wolf threw out all the Masquerade lore for more simplified story, then when the new books didn't sell the company got bought out by OnyxPath. To my knowledge there hasn't been any World Of Darkness licensed anything since.
Love seeing the oxbox and oxtra crew on each other's channels. Was a joy to see Beard Jane with Ellen this week. Maybe next week it'll be Tall Ellen and Car Jane.
Jaay! A new Episode. I'm going to take the chance to just say thank you guys. I don't have friends with which I can talk about Nerd stuff. I'm like the black sheep who dyes his hair and wants to talk about Zelda and Lord of the Rings, so it's really really great that I can come here every weekend to just listen to you guys talk about some of Ms favorite stuff. I love your British accent, I love your humor, I love how Ellen always laughs and how Luke wiggles with his eyebrows (^^) and I love Andy's comments. Your show always seems to be made with care and love and I'm really really thankful for making Ms mostly shit and dark life every weekend a little bit better. I hope you get to read this and that you can smile about it. Much Love Moritz (from Germany)
I downloaded Kingdoms of Amalur recently on STEAM because of Ellen and is enjoying it very much over the holiday. You should get extra points instead of a minus for it!
disappointed that you guys didn't "hang" the "picture" of "Luke" so that "luke" will still appears "taller" than Ellen. just putting it in the sofa makes "Luke" appears "Luke-warm"
Omg Ellen be thrilled it gets so much better in the end. I'm sure when your at the point that you know why it is called zero dawn we will see so much more of HZD in show of the Weekend.
These comments can get sappy, but I do think this show is genuinely brilliant. I don't know how long it took the OXbox guys to find Luke and Ellen, but they truly made something worthy to carry on their already special brand. Thanks guys.
"Why is it called Horizon: Zero Dawn? Seems like 3 unconnected words." Thank you! Andy said exactly what I always thought. It's as if they just threw darts at a board full of words and picked the 3 words that the darts landed on. Lol. :P
Glad to see H:ZD get some love here. It's about time. Definitly my favorite game last year, just recently finished the DLC and i hope they'll give us a sequel.
Currently feeling the o-o-ole chronic depression and anxiety very hard but seeing you guys doing what you love really helps. Please keep on even if it gets hard! We love your work and your efforts to keep expanding and learning! Post script: Would you guys ever consider doing a part two of Hellblade, maybe before Hela first appears? Blease? 🌚
When Andy did the Luke voice at the end, I was momentarily confused - "Wait, Luke was there the whole time???" If Andy used that voice while talking with Luke, the universe might implode. ...or maybe just my mind.
Ellen: Mother of Cats, Shieldmaid of the Mastersword, Slayer of the legendary evil Jigglypuff and Queen of giggles. Luke: Stuck somewhere without foodsupplies because he wants to avoid spoilers.... I just love those guys....
Show of the Weekend! Ellen must re-voice Resident Evil 2 and compose her own ocarina melody in a spectacular anniversary quiz. Plus your comments, drawing challenges, Andy, and more. Enjoy!
Aww, Luke would've loved the online ocarina
Donuts are the enemy... I have some... must resist... might be dinosaurs... NOM NOM NOM
Outside Xtra could have made some kind of metal alloy joke
End of game will bring you unalloyed joy?
The time of Tall Ellen is over! Now it is time for the rise of BEARD ELLEN!
I miss tall Ellen...
What do you mean "I miss tall Ellen"? She's taller then Luke the entire episode!
If you ask nicely I am sure they will ship his remains to you :)
His airtight box will keep the smell of decay inside, so I am sure it will make it through shipping.
Wait that was a thing!?! xD
Don't worry Tall Ellen is alive somewhere with the rest of the dinosaurs.
We need to get short Ellen some stilts.
Ellen's laugh got me through 2017.
elzeus13 Ellen is that perfect mix of mate and crush where just being around her would make your life better.
[/creepystalkermode]
elzeus13 and it's probably what gets me trough 2018 too
Totally agree there.
Her laugh and her choice of hair colors. :)
Joyful people are amazing. Surround yourself with happiness and it will not be difficult to reciprocate it.
I do love seeing Beardy Ellen when Tall Ellen is away!
I feel like it's more of a bearded Jane. There's something evil lurking behind those eyes.
always a joy to see dark ellen around when small ellen is away
I also enjoy when Ellen Who Likes Cars stops by too.
Christoph H no he seems more evil and no it can’t be he has stealth skills and is secretly the most evil but he.....gets murdered by unseen undetectable assassin
This is the second time Luke has been stranded because someone forgot to give ellen a letter. He should know better by now.
Luke's looking healthy this week.
VERY thin...
Like paper thin
I don't know, he looks as white as a sheet to me.
Gibsonmaniac57 OMG
he's tall, pale or deathly white pointy and sharp in some parts
HES A VAMPIRE
IM ONTO YOU LUKE
best joke in the show is at 31:30 :)
Oh gosh I hope he doesn't get a paper cut.
It's his secret superpower not to get fat over the holidays i guess
Strange, I felt Luke seemed a little flat this week.
GhengisJohn ayyyyyyyy
You mean "Tall Ellen"?
Tall Ellen... Cracked me up!
What are you talking about Tall Ellen's material was paper thin
Man these are gold!
Hmm idk he looked a little uncomfortable maybe just a paper cut
I tried the Ellen song on the ocarina, my hair turned purple and it summoned a choir of kittens that began to meow the Kingdoms of Amalur Main Theme. so theres that.
Paper Luke on the end card was absolutely perfect!
Ellen's showing her inner Jane - "that's what you get for being taller than me."
Let's just take a moment to appreciate how good Andy's impression of Luke was at the end.
honestly, for one half a second I thought it actually was Luke!
The best moments are when Ellen laughs so hard she stops making any noise and just rolls around on the couch. Although in those moments I do worry a bit because she doesn't seem to be breathing...
5:11
When you realise 'Ellens Song' is Blue Oyster Cult's Dont fear the Reaper.. I always wondered why people would get attacked by cats when that was played
No, that's if you believe a shitty meme and don't know the actual track.
@Insert Quirky Username me too and I love Chris Walken but the meme ran out of time real quick. Like Nic Cage ones are doing now.
Welcome to 2018 where the scariest thing is the knowledge that a Jigglypuff is somewhere in your house.
Agent 47 that's pretty terrifying when you think about it.
As someone with Insomnia I must say I wish I had a Jigglypuff somewhere in my house xD
Holy shit, you are on every video and mentioned in so many show of the week videos. I hate you for it, but you totally deserve to be flown out and meet them because you are a super fan lol
J Girl I'd be surprised she hasn't met them yet. =V
More luck than judgement tbh. I actually have never met them! Only interacted via social media :)
I was waiting for Ellen to get Ellened on the quiz. She seems to gets Ellened more than anyone now.
JDWindcaster you were expecting Ellen, but it was me, Charmy Bee!
Including tall Ellen in the outro was a bloody brilliant decision!
omg the Hyrule Field from LoZOoT during the quiz section gave me such nostalgia feels
ALSO
Happy New year's!
ALSO!
how dare Tall-Ellen not be here for the first show of 2018!
ALSO, Ellen And NotLuke honestly have really good chemistry.
ALSOO
Simon the cat.
always in our thoughts.
I finally realized why I love Ellen, she has the exact same laugh as my wife lol. I wish I could post an attachment of them both laughing lmao. Happy new year folks
For the past 3 weeks I've been having my final medical exams. I watched your videos in the little free time I had, and somehow you managed to make me forget my exams even existed. So from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much for that.
25:03 Macho man ANDY savage!!
I think the Infamous Chocolate Mug Cake Incident was the first Show of the Weekend (or Show of the Week) I watched; since then I've been an avid fan. You guys have given me so many smiles over a really rough few months (and introduced me to some fantastic games)! Thanks for everything. :)
The only time Ellen has the High GROUND over Luke
But if Ellen has the High GROUND, and ground being Rock, doesn't PAPER beat Rock???
Unless the paper is wet than it does not. " LOOPHOLE" :)
Nothing makes me smile more than waking up on a Saturday, making myself a cup of tea and having some morning crumpets while I watch my favourite youtube shows Show of the Week and Show of the Weekend. You guys are awesome, here's to a great 2018 for you and all the fans too
If I was Luke, i'd start looking for a new job. This is the second year in a row he's been locked in somewhere and left alone.
And he didn't even have the prop room inhabitants to keep him company this time like he did last year.
THNWraith unless he brought his besties to the shipping container
Brock Sisson he put himself in there so it's his own fault
Talking about robot dinosaurs whilst lukes not around should be the new "don't tell luke"
It called Horizon: Zero Dawn because of [ERROR REDACTED; SPOILER TERRITORY]
Ellen must not have finished the game.
Zero Dawn is a very relevant name in the game.
Not sure about the Horizon part though.
However the backstory is mostly about Evil Egyptian culture and references versus "Good" Greek culture and references.
Sun and shadow, light and dark create a horizon...paraphrased from a developers own explanation.
Yeah she must not have finished it yet zero horizon dawn is the project that saved humanity when the robots went nuts
? The bad guy was HADES, what are you referencing?
The fact that Andy doesn't remember who Luke is shows the fact that the OXbox crew just used the OXtra crew as their minions to do the hardwork without caring them
*Tall Ellen
Caring them? A sentient planet, a robot, and a mad scientist that died in the 1800s aren’t in the business of caring. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What about the Video mines where the "extras" are stored until the current Ellen and Tall Ellen fall into apology loops
English words... how do they work?...
Anyone else watch them so often that you forget they have British accents?
musicf3b I was watching their D&D video earlier, and I found myself wondering why Andy was doing an accent. Then I remembered, and felt like an idiot.
Well considering that the British created the English language, they are the only one's who don't really have an accent.
You make it seem like their accents were a bad thing...
Actually there are many different types of English accents (which is what the entire OX crew have) & there's no such thing as a British accent as Britain encompasses England, Wales, Scotland, & Northern Ireland all of which also have their own regional accents.
English existed before Britain did.
Ellen Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is the game that needs a sequel.
Robot Dinosaurs are a bad idea.
So maybe we should make Donut Rinosaurs
Not having robot dinosaurs is a bad idea.
degen83 But wouldn't they be way better with donuts?
Joshua Askew donuts make everything better
What about a program witch job is to remake the world after it has ended, and we will use a evolution like design to make the most optimal robots to do it, and it will all be controled by a AI that can deside when its time to try to remake the world and what design the robots shall haw in this world and if it failed it can destroy the world to try agein... what could possibbley go wrong?
What if these robot dinosaurs were built to make the perfect donut, but there was a war between the humans over which donut was the best and factions between glazed, old fashioned, maple bars, and all the types formed and destroyed the world in the Great Donut War of 2056?
This show gives me life.

Well at least we still have short luke
Next time Ellen is on Show of the week she’ll have to die her hair green, for thematic purposes only.
Those puns were terrible! Practically criminal! I think you really need to find Aloy-er.
BOOOOOOOOO
boo
oh my god, loving your work
L W your such a hypocrite, you need a good *PUN* ishment
This is one of my favorite episodes of SOTW. Ellen and Not-Tall-Ellen seem to just be having so much fun, and I love watching people have fun.
I wish Ellen would be the narrator of my life for the rest of the year.
I love how happy Luke and Ellen always are. It really gives the show life. Looking forward to more gaming quizzes!
I also came out in 1998, nobody throws me a 20th anniversary quiz.
5 minutes into Show of the Weekend 2018 and the conversation has already completely fallen apart, I am not disappointed!!
Luke will forever be that piece of paper to me, now...
Everyone needs an Ellen in their life. So much positivity emitting from her. Not to mention her laugh cures cancer
No no no, Ellen's codename would obviously be Adorable Bunny. She would lure the enemies in with her charming personality and then go Caerbannog on them.
Menghane LOOK AT THE BONES
Im so glad u guys are talking about Horizon Zero Dawn! Its such an amazing game and ive only gotten around to playing it just a few weeks ago myself. Glad to see this game still being talked about even after a year ♡
Nice shirt Andy, very Tranquilo👌
Finally covered my favourite game of 2017. I knew you guys had been missing out!
Surely Ellens codename would be 'Giggling Kitty'? 😹
This was awesome! You guys had me smiling throughout the entire episode. Here's to an even more memorable year!
I want to see a sequel to Vampire the Masquerade: Blood Lines!
Maybe a pseudo sequel that's actually set in the Blade universe? The Blade movies have vampire clans and stuff.
Mar Hawkman that would be a marvel video game and by extension a Disney game. So wouldn't work for masquerade
Yeah, it wouldn't be a true sequel. It'd be a different game with similar plots and mechanics.
zaqzilla1 Bloodlines was really the last hurrah in every respect. The developer of the game shutdown afterwards, White Wolf threw out all the Masquerade lore for more simplified story, then when the new books didn't sell the company got bought out by OnyxPath. To my knowledge there hasn't been any World Of Darkness licensed anything since.

That is a _shockingly_ plausible American accent, grats Ellen!
When you finish Horizon Zero
dawn you will finally understand the title! Always love you guys x
I downloaded Kingdoms of Amalur recently on STEAM because of Ellen and is enjoying it very much over the holiday. You should get extra points instead of a minus for it!
K. Nichole Howard that was the point hence the secret penalty
Because everyone thought she was gonna say that
Unexpectedly up all night for work and am greeted by an episode when I finally get to relax. It’s going to be a great 2018! :)
What I'm hearing is... The next list video will be "7 Overpowered Bow & Arrow Combinations from Video Games!" I can't wait :p
Love the QI reference! Amazing and hilarious show! Always finding new reasons that you guys are awesome!
disappointed that you guys didn't "hang" the "picture" of "Luke" so that "luke" will still appears "taller" than Ellen.
just putting it in the sofa makes "Luke" appears "Luke-warm"
Adrindrata Zainal ..........ugh..........
You guys are awesome. All of you. And I don't know how Ellen does it, but she makes me laugh every time.
Seriously? Ellen's most defining attribute is her hysterical laughter. Why not go with laughing cat?
Elle's laughter is so contagious, they are so lucky to be working with her.
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 also came out in 1998! Anyone still remember it? Anyone?
please?
Omg Ellen be thrilled it gets so much better in the end. I'm sure when your at the point that you know why it is called zero dawn we will see so much more of HZD in show of the Weekend.
donut rhinosaurs?
don't tell TallEllen!
Ellens song should make everyone within a mile burst out in a fit of uncontrollable laughter (cuz that’s what Ellen does)
Didnt know luke could grow a beard...
And get swole
These comments can get sappy, but I do think this show is genuinely brilliant. I don't know how long it took the OXbox guys to find Luke and Ellen, but they truly made something worthy to carry on their already special brand. Thanks guys.
1998 also saw the first Soul Reaver game released, a franchise that will never be finished. :'(
"Why is it called Horizon: Zero Dawn? Seems like 3 unconnected words."
Thank you! Andy said exactly what I always thought. It's as if they just threw darts at a board full of words and picked the 3 words that the darts landed on. Lol. :P
Loving Andy’s t-shirt,Stay tranqulio
Glad to see H:ZD get some love here. It's about time. Definitly my favorite game last year, just recently finished the DLC and i hope they'll give us a sequel.
Damn Ellen is cute
I love HZD! So glad you guys got round to reviewing it, my GOTY for 2017.
Andy is quite good at impersonating Luke, hopefully Luke isn't replaced with a drawing and Andy dose his voice.
Currently feeling the o-o-ole chronic depression and anxiety very hard but seeing you guys doing what you love really helps. Please keep on even if it gets hard! We love your work and your efforts to keep expanding and learning!
Post script: Would you guys ever consider doing a part two of Hellblade, maybe before Hela first appears? Blease? 🌚
Oxtra is aware that there are characters named Ellen and Jane in Horizon Zero Dawn, right? Dead characters, but still.
Jane isnt dead. Just biding her time...
Ellen’s starting the year as she means to go on - giggling hysterically and cheering people up via doing so
For the record, my sister was playing Horizon Zero Dawn last night and some how pulled of a stealth kill through explosions.
Kathy Aird Mike Channell-ed
Explosive stealth kills actually make sense. They know that they exploded, but they don't know it was you.
Bonus points for being so loud no one will ever hear again!
explosions are stealth if no one's left to know it was you
I dont care if I am the only one in this community, I am marking out over your shirt Andy. Truly Tranquilo
Is Luke tall Ellen or is Ellen short Luke?
It depends if you ask Andy or Mike.
1998 was 20 years ago...thanks a lot mate, I almost forgot it was that long ago. Happy New Year! Where is Luke?!
Why is Luke constantly being neglected? Can someone put a bell on him, or a tracker?
James Wilson Ellen does like cats, it would be like Ellen had a cat
That Luke impression was very good Andy, well done.
Ellen for Resident Evil 8?
Ellen - Oh it's called Horizon Zero Dawn because...
Me - Oh my sweet summer child, you know not what you're about to experience.)))
Actually, the Song of Ellen sets off a giggle fit that fully restores your health, AND gives you three bonus hearts.
When Andy did the Luke voice at the end, I was momentarily confused - "Wait, Luke was there the whole time???" If Andy used that voice while talking with Luke, the universe might implode. ...or maybe just my mind.
This week's quiz hosted by Andy Toksvig.
the picture of the outro got me, well played
The Zero Dawn in the title derives from "Project Zero Dawn". Just play along, it's all part of the story ^_^
Andy's impersonation of Luke was so spot on i actually thought he had come back into the studio!!!
The truth is Luke is absent 'cause he's on the meeting discussing the immediate start of the production of robot dinosaurs.
Ellen: Mother of Cats, Shieldmaid of the Mastersword, Slayer of the legendary evil Jigglypuff and Queen of giggles.
Luke: Stuck somewhere without foodsupplies because he wants to avoid spoilers....
I just love those guys....
Ellen I think you have lost control of the Ellenings...... RUNNN!!!!!!!!
You either die a Hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the Villain
It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!!!!
Aw I know there was awesome things in 1998, like me ! Thank you Andy !
Ellen's song should shrink Link to the size of a mouse
We need nonstop D&D videos. For real guys those are the best
