Luke: We can't screw up. Mike: Immediately flips it. Early contender for Presh Mems 2022.

[@DeadmanWL]

Luke: "Im worried, there be viewers who havent played and it might look really boring driving..." ...Luke, those who are watching this that arent interested in Forza, were just here for the lovely chats, and mellow vibs of Luke Westaway, and Mike Channel. (Racing games arent my thing, but I always enjoy what ever yall do)

[@99toon99]

Shout out to Mike's punctuality, every stream he runs always starts dead on time.

[@gothmissstress]

Yeah I was surprised 🤣

[@Amaranthyne]

😅 that’s basically calling out the rest of the team for not being on time-which may be true from our point of view, but they are setting up the stream long before we see it. Complimenting an individual at the expense of others tends to be more uncomfortable than appreciated, and it certainly isn’t gracious (I should know since I am guilty of this as well). You might consider deleting your comment.

[@aratanaru6200]

Well mike got the most skill in hardware and streaming so make sense its less scuffed so he can start on time. The others are late because technical gremlins even though they prepare before the time

[@christophersmith8316]

@@aratanaru6200 He may also have better internet to his home than some others.

[@skiddadleskidoodle4094]

@@Amaranthyne why delete the comment tho? It’s a fact that the others often start a little late which is not a bad thing. It’s just a fact. I don’t think anyone minds (and I assure you especially the others from oxtra don’t mind) so it’s just a nice compliment on Mike’s tech skills

[@doctorstrangepants6706]

You can tell that Mike is so happy to have a racing buddy!

[@Amaranthyne]

Luke, too!

[@nickgarcia1292]

Luke seems to be the type of guy that would find the fun in any game, especially when one of his pals is excited about it

[@Amaranthyne]

@@nickgarcia1292 I think he adds energy to any room he’s in and any game he plays.

[@DeLaKleve]

Mike: “Friend?” Luke: “Friend.” Mike: “Car?” Luke: “Car.” Mike: “Car friend 😁”

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

@@Amaranthyne luke always just has so much energy that it ends up infecting everybody

[@KieranBarnbyAcoustic]

Luke is always positive because he knows where there's a westawill there's a westaway!

Mike helps Luke channell that energy.

Thank You

[@ArunPandianApk]

That last comeback had me on the edge of my seat. Love to see more of these Forza streams.

[@jonathandavies1716]

I can't belive how badly Mike has corrugated Luke. He'll be inverting his controller next.

[@piyam5000]

Corrugated? Like ... A roof?

[@weneedaladder8384]

Right!? When he shaped Luke into alternating ridges and grooves, I was shocked. And it came at the time you'd least expect.

[@BogeyTheBear]

Mike knows how to bend people out of shape. Ask Andy.

[@Necrotoxin44]

On the Outside Xtra F-Zero alike stream the other day, Luke said something about maybe needing to invert a control in one of the games, and I was like whaaat? Might be something to do with original F-Zero games, but it did feel a bit like maybe Mike had rubbed off on him, ha

[@parthdave2501]

My God that Colossus race was so exhilarating towards the end. I started watching this video casually while working but had to stop and cheer Mike's amazing overtakes and the final team win!!

[@impalala5074]

These two are, without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite duo. Such wholesome dad energy.

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

makes sense since they are dads

[@paladin595]

Oh my god, Luke admits he downloaded a car!

[@BogeyTheBear]

Tuning is not easy, especially with some of Forza Horizon's little idiosyncrasies. Brake bias, for example, is the reverse of what you'd expect in the tuning screen: Want to increase pressure on the rear brakes so they'll lock up in sync with the front? Well, you don't move the slider to Rear-- if you want to increase the rear brakes' pressure, you move the slider to _Front_ at around 60-65%. Then there's the utter joy of spring rates, damping, and anti-roll bar tension. At least there's a long, straight highway to dial in gear ratios. Most maddening of all? Most would-be tuners probably never try because of how hard it is to bring up the telemetry HUD-- it's not mapped to the Xbox controller on default and they have literally run out of buttons to map because the game _insists_ you must have some really useless controls there before playing-- namely ANNA, a map button must be assigned to a controller button for some reason (when you can still use the Start menu instead!) and the horn. If you turn Rewind off, you do not need a Rewind button on the controls-- FH5 insists otherwise, so now I have absolutely useless buttons on my controller.

[@MavericksHangar]

Can we get more Mike and Luke streaming together?? Love the dynamic!!! Keep up the great work.

[@willyum3920]

I thought this evening after work: "I'll check in on the Oxboxtras. I hope they've had a well deserved break over Christmas and new year but they're probably back to work now and there might be a nice list or something..." But instead you spoil me with two hours of Mike and Luke!! We don't deserve you but we do appreciate it. Happy 2022 pals!

[@Deckard-ig4qd]

Mike: "So I have this very stylish and expensive car and-" Luke: "haha gremlin go nyyyoooooom"

[@theisaacpigg27_32]

First it was Dark Souls, now it's cars. What will the next thing Mike likes that he starts to convert the others too be

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

inverted controls?

[@MrGoremuffin]

Gray hoodies

[@kdjslvgds]

oh mannnn that last leg of the colossus was SO GOOD. when they hit the finish line i realized i had tensed my neck during that entire section. we felt the tension! amazing!

[@dallydaydream]

I wasn't expecting a livestream today and it cheered me up tremendously on a day where I really needed it

[@Zoso14892]

I could just be forgetful but I don't remember many streams with just Mike and Luke? That was lovely to watch, you were so chill together I enjoyed every minute of the stream. I also enjoy Forza so would be happy to see this a regular thing!

[@krtimp]

That Bort vanity plate is the best thing I’ve seen

[@allisonpozzo]

I love the relationship between oxbox and oxtra. We have Jane tempting Ellen to the dark side in every oxventure episode, Mike tempting Luke to the chaotic side every chance he has, and Andy just overseeing the two of them as the cantankerous, disapproving but ultimately loving father :P

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

jane is the evil aunt, mike is the crazy uncle, and andy is the tired dad

[@PhantomJokerX]

I love this racing duo. What a livestream where the racing banter is absolutely entertaining. Thanks Mike and Luke. 28:25 The Peel P50 takes a hit 58:15 Oooof that was a heartbreaking moment for Luke 1:44:37 Mike does a barrel roll

[@user-ir8fx6uv1j]

I was genuinely enthralled by the end of the race. It was as if I was playing the game.

[@Jade-St28]

thanks to Mike's enthusiastic recommendation, i've also been playing this game a lot and it's really fantastic. it doesn't matter how little you know/care about all the side activities like tuning/stunts etcs, you can just start any race with whatever car and it will be fun. lately i've been playing too many games where grinding side tasks was a necessity to even play the main game and this is a good break, just jumping right in and winning if you race well enough

[@Icam_here]

Very enjoyable to watch team race dads for the first oxboxtra stream of 2022, well done in that last race

[@scottlil01]

Was on the edge of my seat for that last race, excellent driving from the both of you (even when Mike put it upside down). I enjoy the F1 references as well. I'd love to see some more racing game streams down the line. Maybe if Luke does get into the more serious stuff, I think that would be great! "Learning about racing" Luke is one of my favourite Lukes.

[@settle238]

Easily in the top 3 Lukes, all time, I would say.

[@Necrotoxin44]

"Learning about racing" Luke sounds like a new video series. It may have a catchier title, but I would be well up for that!

[@vira-siegkaiserreinhafro1670]

Luke's Race Academy. I would totally watch it.

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

I love these streams. I often find myself watching games that I normally wouldn't just because the Oxbox and Oxtra teams are so funny.

[@AlexKPorell]

Same! I love their banter 😅

[@archer8492]

For a high-octane racing game I love the combined ability of Luke and Mike to make this such a chill stream with really nice vibes. Watching this the next day while working and fighting off a cold and it's cheering me up no end.

[@TheYorkRose]

Luke spike + Mike spike = Like spike 💖 and that final race absolutely deserved it with the effort and quality from both racers!

[@gothmissstress]

I'm always enjoying car racing games on this channel. Not car racing games in general, I don't care about them but in Outside Xbox it's always very fun!

[@nathansplace40]

Honestly that last race was amazing. Luke keeping cool staying steady in the 3 4 spot the whole race, and Mike having trouble in the beginning and flipping his car at one point and clawing his way back up the pack was amazing.

[@ventedbus4917]

I now have the Dominos car thanks both of you you got me back into Forza

[@odysyr]

When Luke suggested the viewers might be 'even more tense' I realised my left hand had an absolute death-grip on my armrest. I was absolutely riveted to that last race and as ever you guys did a smashing job!

[@penguingonemad]

This is peak dad energy 🥰 I'm not usually into racing games but Mike and Luke's enthusiasm is infectious

[@drew6078]

Andy, Luke is too far gone he can't be save anymore. Keep a close watch on Ellen otherwise Mike and Luke will rope her in their racing games. 😂

[@christophersmith8316]

She was on the stream where Mike drove his own car, and she seemed into it more than a little.

[@SolaScientia]

Talking about boxy Toyota's from the 1980s, my parents had a 1981 (I think that's the year) Toyota Tercel. We called it the Brown Car, because it was this light tan color. 5 speed manual transmission and what I learned to drive a manual on. We still have it, but it's up on blocks. Engine was still good, but the interior was falling apart. I loved driving it. It's a pretty light car, so it could go seriously fast even with its little engine. No tachometer, so I learned to change gears by ear, and I still do that when driving a manual. It was the best car for taking out onto the dirt roads in the middle of nowhere and drifting around way too fast, lol. We had a new mini in the late 00s and early teens, and that one was pretty fun as well.

[@mistyraven6499]

Thank you for these 2 hours of comfy, friendly, joyful vibes! Definitely what I needed.

[@yugoprowers]

I was wondering how Luke could beat Mike's Pink Style paint job, then Luke showed up with the Megumin paint job

[@andymcp4752]

That first Colossus attempt in the RS200 was like the anxiety dream a racing driver would have after eating too many Snickers before bed

''I'm going to stroke it home now'' lmao

[@gothmissstress]

I'd definitely love more Forza horizon on this channel!

[@Rich-fr2yv]

Fun car fact: mike thought he was being offensive when he said "Japanese stallion" but there is evidence saying that might actually be how the car was named. The exact same car was sold in the states a dodge during a collaboration with Chrysler and Chrysler recommended the car be named "Mitsubishi stallion"

[@yobressik]

I was doing other things while watching this and I got surprisingly into the races to the point I cheered when they won that last race.

50:06 "driftings the most fun" speak for yourself. im sure theres tunes dedicated to it, but as i play with a wheel, drifting is the most frustrating yet boring part of the game. wish they had an autoplay or skip option for those parts.

[@n7creed629]

Watching this makes me want to play. And I don’t play racing games.

[@AchtungBeccaC]

Just started watching the stream on my lunch break, but what a treat! Edit: Mike makes me want to get an Xbox to get this game. Me, an avowed PlayStation girl! 😮

[@ChadKenova]

Ive put 100 hours into FH5 as of yesterday, horizon definitely my favorite racing series of all time it was gran tourismo in the ps1/ps2 era but soon as I played Forza Motorsports on the original Xbox I never looked back. I remember just loving being able to leave tire marks and smoke. Its one game I always buy every dlc love those expansions especially the hot wheels. And there’s 3 games this month I want dying light 2, horizon forbidden west and elden ring. I have been buying most games lately on the ps5 or SX even though my pc is more powerful. It all comes down to how much I hate digital games, it’s just a long long rental I prefer having a physical copy. The only advantage to digital is you can be lazy and not have to get up and get a disc out of the case and put it in the console. And it would be different if digital was cheaper and 85% of the time it’s more expensive which is really stupid.

[@jazzygeofferz]

@@gsesquire3441 it is quite a commitment to learn to drive with a wheel and pedals, but I just thought with Mike being a fan of motorsports and having done some racing himself it may have been something he did with his racing games. Maybe he does for the more serious sims like the F1 games and GT etc, but for something a little more "casual" like Forza Horizon he prefers to play with a pad.

[@jazzygeofferz]

@@gsesquire3441 also the majority of "serious" driving sim players usually have some kind of race rig set up. Some of the higher end peripherals are based on the kinds found in F1 cars and cost a very pretty penny.

Drove the F50 when I was doing my drivers license (driving school offered one ride as a bonus) The fact that you barely need to touch the gas and it goes up to 30 km/h as soon as you shift into first is just insane. Sadly could only push it to 140 km/h, stupid Austrian highways :D

"Disco Hottie" burns very bright and very fast. She was also banned from Le Mans for the silly excuse of life-threatening drivability. A ultra light RWD framed shell that's suicidally overpowered only managed by one analog PCM. Sadly, analog powertrain control modules get overwhelmed and wear out. A bit less than ideal, when her margin of error is thinner than a New Orleans hooker's sheet. Thankfully, it's moot if you appear to be tripping balls when she ignores steering suggestions you make. Just bounce the devil, and give us a blooper series. Barrier drifting, forgetting to steer in a 90, and pinballing like a 5 min steamed ricer, only hurt prides and social circles.

[@Pillock25]

30:29 You joke (I don't know, maybe you're serious) but the old Marlboro Mclaren livery is still my favourite or the Peter Brock years of the late 70's and early 80's and the Marlboro Torana's and Commodore's, simple, clean.

PS: Turns out that they now include such helpful info in the tune's description screen (tire type, drivetrain, motor swap) so now I have room to get poetic.

I wish there were motorbike games that are a bit more arcade-y. There's the Ride series, but's it's too realistic for me. Since I'm not that good at realistic simulator games it's actually not that enjoyable for me. Which is a shame because I prefer motorbikes over cars because of Kamen Rider.
