[@sambridgett]

That clip at the beginning of Jane remorsefully monologuing to Mike's corpse before Andy darts past a nearby doorway with a big monster in hot pursuit is exquisite.

[@Mr_J_Ralph]

If someone said to you "Show me a clip that best personifies Outside Xbox" that would probably be my new go to

[@khamjaninja.]

29:35, to see it in context. There's just something perfectly comic about seeing Andy skedaddling across the hallway with a monster lurching right behind him. Like something out of Scooby-Doo.

[@Bluesmileyguy]

Haha yeah a golden moment that's for sure

[@le-grey-far-away]

Read this before it got to that part Less said: expectations exceeded

[@PLAYER_42069]

First Presh Memory of 2024: Unlocked.

[@voodoobeard]

Mike: "What's wrong with an eclipse?" Jane: "Space vampires." The most Jane a response it is possible to craft 😀

[@bretth342]

Jane, please make sure to pass that along to Russell T Davies

[@sethneville]

I'm a little disappointed no one made a Pitch Black reference. This game seems ripe for a Riddick.

[@cumutandus2789]

The fact she immediately said that without pausing to think of it makes it so much better

[@lorenzolebron]

Dracula 3000!

[@AdrianColley]

How close can vampires in space get to stars? They're OK with being out under the night sky, but not OK with being on the sunlit side of the planet. So it's somewhere between 1 AU and 4.25 light years.

[@meglomaniac]

Andy scooby doo running away from a monster while Jane watches with Mike's corpse is peak comedy ahhahahahah

[@moggyd5822]

29:45 Andy running across the end of the corridor after yelling "I'm being chased! I'm being chased!" really tickled me.

[@ihcfn]

Reminded me of scooby doo!

[@Sean-ne3gx]

Me too, it felt like a Scooby Doo bit

[@TheWretchedOwl]

Jane: “goodbye Mike” Savage.

[@KizMyname]

It is even funnier that Mike finds out about what Jane did after the video was posted. He made a tweet about it. 😂

[@TheWretchedOwl]

@@KizMyname I didn’t know that! You’re right, that does make it better 😅

[@LilyGrace95]

Andy being chased by a monster while Jane watches was just *peak* comedic timing 😂

[@Strigulino]

I love the way this game leaves you guessing as to whether people are dead or not. When Andy came out of the mist with a cash register alive and well was a glorious moment.

[@chefbreccia2642]

Sixty seconds in and I had to pause until I stopped laughing. "It's just me and you now, Mike's corpse" followed by Andy's muffled "I'm okay!" being chased might be the most OX thing that ever OXed.

[@JoshHenderson16]

Andy triumphantly proclaiming "here he comes" from the horizon as Jane and Mike looked on wondering whether he had died or not was pure cinema.

[@jmacosta]

Mike dying trying to recover a flashlight is exactly the way you would think he'd go out if this was real.

[@SantoAtheos]

Your added "X Days Left" is a very nice, forboding touch.

[@slimkt]

“I hear a chittering and skittering!” is the most British reaction to an unknown, possibly harmful creature lurking about the dark I’ve ever heard.

[@jellojiggler1693]

"I seem to hear a chittering and a skittering, I do." She said as she took a sip of tea and indulged in beans on toast.

[@ts25679]

You can get used to anything...

[@ZevVeli]

I'd love to see you all do this again with the Oxtra crew (There's an arachnophobia mode that replaces the spiders with just a giant word that says "SPIDER")

[@flusendieb6833]

ooohh, that sounds great!

[@khamjaninja.]

I know Eurogamer (plus Wheels from Dicebreaker) has been streaming this, and they discussed playing the modded version of this game that allows more than 4 players. It would be interesting to see if the entire Gamer Network could get on one stream, to combine their powers in order to reach a level of minimum competence.

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

16:43 Jane: "Oh, there's a vent!" Andy: "That's pretty sus!" 😂 I see what you did there

[@darkdragoness5]

Better keep away from it then

[@massgunner4152]

What they don't know is that vents are where the monster spawns.

[@sethneville]

25:55 "There's a rhythmic thumping... Maybe the neighbors are at it." All you've seen so far are flying starfish, giant mouths, sand worms and dog monsters, so no, don't make me think about that.

[@BlandoGaming]

Too late. 🤣

[@captaincokecan]

Mike's timing on 'oh maybe the neighbours are at it' made me loose it 😂

[@AdamusPrime24]

Too late! *Unf-unf-unf-unf...*

[@Filmstudent3663]

“I’m being chased!” *Andy runs across doorway like Woody from Toy Story*

[@bobbyfernando]

Of course, I enjoy all of y'all's livestreams, but I really appreciate this one being a classic, edited gameplay video - so many of the streams I've watched of this game ended up being _too_ chaotic (and not in the fun sense), with the in-game audio filter, suddenly disappearing voices, and whatnot. The multiple POV's actually showing each person's clear audio really helped, and, on top of that, the cut to Mike's perspective when the other two didn't even realise that he'd died was absolute gold, haha.

[@TaylorLopez412]

Andy (frantically): I'm being chased! I'm being chased! [runs Scooby-Doo-style across the hall]

[@robertwilsonjr.1384]

I really hope this gets brought back for Hallowstream, it'd be perfect. And that moment of Andy running by with the monster right behind him was such a Scooby Doo thing to happen.

[@Michael_Lindell]

"Why couldn't we have joined Non-lethal Company?"

[@madbone3816]

29:46 - Jane's POV of Andy running past the doorway with a monster right behind was a real cartoon moment. And absolutely hilarious 😂

[@speak_the_speech217]

I would love to see them play with the mimic mode. The game listens to your conversations and takes snipits and plays it back through a creature. So you'll think it's your friend but then it is a creature.

[@torgranael]

That sounds unsettling. Only played this once so far, so haven't seen most of the monsters. I almost died when I finally figured out what the arachnophobia mode is because I started laughing instead of cheesing.

[@haravikk]

I think that one's called skin-walkers mod; the mimic mod is the one that adds… "extra" fire-exits… 😈

[@octochan]

I hope we get to see more of Mike's Red Shirt Adventures in Space

[@Uniclonus]

As I've said elsewhere, the run animation in this game will never not be funny. And that clip from Jane's POV of Andy running past the doorway while being chased is a perfect example

[@PLAYER_42069]

I think the devs made the animations purposefully funny to cut the tension?

[@nadriel2]

Mike, the canary of the Lethal Company...

[@imladrad2584]

Andy finding those keys made him a real master of unlocking.

[@NathanWeeks]

Andy: "We lost a dozen good men!" Me: "And Mike!"

[@AchtungBeccaC]

Ox Coop Shenanigans are the best. This had so many classic funny moments. I can’t decide which was better; Jane and Mike’s corpse watching Andy run away from the monster or Andy appearing out of the fog triumphantly carrying his cash register!

[@ParadisiacalDreams]

I need more of this please! Perfect for Hallowstream 2024

[@BouncingTribbles]

An eclipse means it's night right away. The scary stuff mostly comes out at night.

[@Fleoden]

Mostly.

[@chefbreccia2642]

Mostly.

[@BlandoGaming]

Mostly.

[@katbercar]

Mostly

[@marhawkman303]

Mostly.

[@christopherwall3240]

"It's just you and me now, Mike's corpse." Why do I get the feeling this is not the first time Jane has said that exact sentence? Classic Oxbox shenanigans. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@burgermike92]

I love how after finally finding enough scrap metal to meet their quota, Mike survives the mission just to die at the end by pissing off their client. 😂

[@shasshybear9222]

Jane: "Spaceship, abandon Mike!" Ship computer: [Protocol 2 activated]

[@Sir.Endipity]

Please ox... May we please have some more...?🤲

[@frodobaggins7710]

Tbf to Jane, if someone chooses to get a flashlight whilst there's a giant killer space dog outside, I'll close the door on them too

[@SolaScientia]

The ice cream truck music coupled with the "dog" snarling and everyone panicking absolutely sent me into a coughing fit from laughing so hard. "You'll anger it." "I want it to give me money." I don't know why, but that exchange is delightful. Somehow this game needs to be worked into the Christmas challenge rota.

[@mortua_conjuga]

andy's muffled screams are too funny 🤣🤣

[@oxfanblink4115]

Not even 2 minutes in is probably a record for Mum Jane to come out and tell her oldest Mike to not do something 😅😅😅😅

[@wildstarr]

Seeing Andy run from the monster through the hallway is one of the funniest things on OX in the history of the channel

[@captainredbeard1762]

So to sum up, Mike got heavily radiation poisoned, Jane got grossly oozed on and Andy may or may not be pregnant with a Xenomorph, after a face hugging incident. Combine that with the threat of weird space monsters and moody corporate overlords and you got yourself the job of a lifetime, as long as you don’t care about the length of said lifetime, that is

[@zacharysmith4856]

I knew nothing about this game going into it and think I understood less going out, but I loved every minute of it.

[@travisspaulding5835]

Mike: “I’m starting to feel like the red shirt on this trip.” 😂 This was great! The effects on the comms are such a fantastic gimmick that had me dying laughing. The echoing voices that grow faint as they grow distant, the muffled sounds from the face hugger…amazing

[@Taracinablue]

When we were kids, on nights when my mom was working outside the home through supper, Dad played a role-playing sort of imagination game in which we worked for "the company" exploring new planets. We were given various improbable cramped ships (for example, one in which we were crammed into the nose of a giant spaceship and told the rest was engine, but we heard pool noises, ping-pong, etc.) to discover strange planets.

[@ElementalWhispers]

Great editing on this! Good to hear the voices from the afterlife 😆

[@abydosianchulac2]

12:10 to 45 is seriously just a perfect encapsulation of this channel

[@emeraldqueen904]

This game is perfect for Oxbox! I’m glad to see my favorite KZbinrs play something I’ve been getting into recently because it’s much more fun to watch if you’re familiar with the team

[@imdadirtydan]

you can hold more than one scrap, you just can't hold more than one hands full item or scroll off of a hands full item.

[@NullOminous]

Yeah that's driving me mad, watching them think that they can only get one thing per person lol

[@sethneville]

This seems like what the future of space work will actually be like if Musk and Bezos have their way.

[@Kingkiller_Azoth]

29:45 is a real Scooby-Doo moment

[@AmberFrmThVault]

Have been watching Eurogamer play so much lethal company and it's brilliant! So glad to see y'all playing! ♥ Can't wait for the cross over.

[@NecroGrin]

Mike's not THE redshirt. The great thing about this game is everyone is the redshirt! Love this game. Fingers crossed we get another part

[@haravikk]

True, though I'm pretty sure Andy dying to the flea was the only time Mike didn't die first. 😂

[@massgunner4152]

I mean he seems to die before anyone else.

[@DtSpringleaf]

Hey guys, do you know what I'd love to see? One of those 1v4 in-the-chair, interview style videos where you each talk about the first thing you wrote that got published in the world of gaming. What it meant to you at the time, how you've developed as writers since then, etc... I really like when you guys speak from the heart and riff with each other and there's no denying you're all very gifted writers, and I think some of us would enjoy hearing about how that came to be :)

[@boydstephensmithjr]

"Welcome to the afterlife" ... "In the afterlife You could be headed for the serious strife"

[@JervisGermane]

Now you make the scene all day But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Nice to see you guys finally play Phasmogus.

[@hiccup247]

I'm glad to see the meticulous teamwork of OxBox continues.

[@EdibleClown]

Poor Mike, you're just not cut out for Space Amazon

[@knowlessman]

jane: this is our first day! me brain immediately, in Andy's 47 voice: It's My First Day...

[@Jeremiah12thLvlGeek]

I'm with Jane, in that I, too, thought V6 and V8 referred to valves. I learned something!

[@PLAYER_42069]

I'm sure you guys are aware, but there are mods that allow more than four players per session. So, you can have the entire Ox Box crew (Ellen and Luke) in one game. You could even do a Eurogamer collab as well since the current mod player limit is 32. Favorite part was when Mike suggested they go back for Andy's body, and Jane flat out saying, "I don't need that noise" 😂 BTW, that big empty room with the carpet is where the monsters spawn, so yeah. Also, the game is like Phasmo, where players can stay in the ship and monitor others. They can help them avoid creatures, deactivate turrets and other hazards, turn on lights, etc.

[@BlandoGaming]

Gotta get a cross-channel game going. I need to see how the Space Buddies fare taking on this job.

[@b0neless437]

32:22 Absolutely dying at them all celebrating their luck and then completely ignoring the fire exit 😂

[@JustinHoyt-px5oy]

Andy's muffled "ahhhhs"😂 such a good let's play guys!

[@christinegovas-robert4378]

I'm not even past the preview clips and Mike's already the Ian Higton of this team.

[@kattnap92]

I could watch team OX play this every week. Always a hilarious time when they are running for their lives in space.

[@ToriKlepto]

I would love to see you guys play more Lethal Company! Particularly with Luke if possible! This was a blast :)

[@soulreapermagnum]

jane: they didn't even give us a window "windows are structural weaknesses, the company does not use them"

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

I'm glad that you guys have played Lethal Company, the Eurogamer streams of them playing this game have been alot of fun.

[@KieraYoung-zv4vv]

Yall are literally the only channel I wanted to see play this lol

[@spinal_capped]

“IT’S KILLING ME!” -Mike’s harrowing final words

[@LegendaryTalesandTrails]

Mike truly was the red shirt of this adventure. It was fun, I would love to see more.

[@Michael_Lindell]

In space no one can hear you Mike...

[@_Foehammer]

Andy: Steam is hot. Mike: Andy you can be our science officer.

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

25:56 Jane: There's a rhythmic thumping. Mike: Maybe the neighbors are at it. 😂😂😂 your best humor is the slight clever stuff that you sneak in

[@axelcoombes604]

Jane dancing to the delivery sound is adorable. This was so fun to watch I loved it

[@katharinemason1768]

I've been watching lots of Lethal Company the last few weeks/months(?) it so nice to see people who a starting the game fresh and discovering everything new. Really hope for more its great to see some of my favourite youtubers playing one of my new favourite games.

[@haravikk]

I *need* to see them encounter a jester for the first time…

[@kaniamia]

I love how all three perspectives were edited together for peak comedic timing! You should absolutely use the mod that lets you have more players and get Oxtra and/or Eurogamer in on this. It’s much easier to progress with more people, and then you can try out the moons that you have to pay to get to.

[@lunarpinetree]

The Outside Xbox first day orientation, colorized 2012

[@ashwink7644]

They saved themselves by ordering stuff so the dog gets distracted to the delivery noise, without knowing it. That's hilarious.

[@Icam_here]

nice work on the edits, made it harder to know if some people were still alive or not also poor Mike, was one of the deaths because someone rang the bell to many times i wonder

[@aubriewalters821]

I love the "spacement"

[@fabianlaibin6956]

They're a bit late, but this gives me hope of a cross channel EG/OX/DB company game

[@sneakydeekie5472]

I desperately want a stream of this! Multiple streams to show every individual perspective!

[@burrito4332]

12:09 "Here comes the flashlight!" Famous, and hilarious, last words 😂😂

[@FortKnoxMovies]

Someone needs to put Yakity Sax or Scooby Doo music over Andy running from the monster!

[@CaitlinRC]

This can only end well (for the monsters probably, and/or Jane)

[@mar_speedman]

If there's one thing the game taught me, it's that it's definitely not for Redshirt Mike

[@haravikk]

Good to finally see oxbox taking on the lethal company! Would love to see a continuation, maybe get you to some of the harder (but more valuable loot) moons! Also, for future reference, you can carry multiple smaller items of scrap, you just need to put down big two-hand items (axles, cash register, engine etc.) and then pick them up last.

[@NivMizzet89]

Surprised they didn't suggest using the dustpan to scoop Mike's remains.

[@dantronic1836]

Been hoping that you would all play this, seems like a perfect fit and it didn't disappoint. Now I'm hoping that you all play it again. "Bees! Bees!" lol

[@robodogmech]

Quite smart of jane to have figured out the dog is eyeless so quickly

[@hyuii08]

Omg I've been watching other channels play this but Oxboxtra have always been my favorite channel on YT so you have no idea how happy i am to see you guys playing this. I always thought this game would be perfect for you "comedians". 😂Hope we get a livestream too!

[@fabianlaibin6956]

my money is this is a dry run for a cross channel collab, with EG and DB

[@hyuii08]

@@fabianlaibin6956 oh, man I hope so. I'd honestly be happy with just having Luke and Ellen and maybe Johnny. But the whole shebang would be so chaotic.

[@burnslee1164]

I really hope you guys make a part 2. I also hope we continue the running joke of Mike always dying horribly. That way we can get a compilation later.

[@benrrific7547]

I love the daily countdown of doom. So life-like.

[@pouncingmoggy]

Love how Andy is still on-point even after his torch dies. xD

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

Oh my gosh this is the video I have been waiting for! Would absolutely love to see more of this!

[@kattnap92]

"I would like to take issue with the hazard rating of that planet", Mike being such a polite dead space man.
