Let's Play Starpoint Gemini Warlords on Xbox One: RAMMING SPEED! (Sponsored Content)

[@stephenwithav9171]

An unappreciated bit of Oxbox is the constant disclosure of sponsered content. How many KZbinrs hide it away in the description without saying? Just another reason to respect the channel imo 😊

[@StephenAlexWalker]

Pretty sure that any channel that is monetised has to declare sponsored content as part of the T&C's now.

[@stephenwithav9171]

True, but how many times have people not disclosed it? It's only after years of suspect disclosure that KZbin has had to change to make people do so, my point is Oxbox have always been ultra transparent, even before those changes c:

[@ptonpc]

Under UK law, any KZbinr based here has to declare if they are receiving a promotion or sponsorship. OutsideXbox did this long before they had to.

[@CelesteBertin]

One of the many reasons I love this channel, they are very open about sponsored content, many other channels add it at the end of the description, here it is in big letters in the video and mentioned in the intro.

[@stephenwithav9171]

kshamwhizzle I completely agree, that's the kind of community I one day want to have 😊 Oxbox are one of the main reasons I ever made a channel, 😌

[@seanthebluesheep]

Exul Harcrow can make a star explode just by looking at it the right way. Exul Harcrow doesn't wear an EVA suit to protect himself from the vacuum of space, but to protect space from Exul Harcrow. Exul Harcrow once flew too close to a black hole, and the black hole was sucked into his beard. Exul Harcrow doesn't pilot spaceships, he simply waits in one until the place he wants to be comes to him.

[@jackparkinson5890]

Exul Harcrow is good and all, but everyone forgets his lesser known brother: Excel Harcrow. Not quite as good in a fight, didn't wear a lot of denim, but man was he good at admin...

[@daafaev15]

Jack Parkinson this is the type of comment that should pop up on SOTW

[@jackparkinson5890]

Here's hoping! XD

[@alabaster1913]

Mike is in charge of a giant, gun-shaped space-craft whose primary method of inflicting damage is to ram opposing ships to the accompaniment of wailing electronic guitar solos. Perfection 👌

[@daviddaugherty2816]

Boarding party leader #2: Didn't we already steal a pirate ship? What happened to that boarding party? Jane: They went to live on a farm...

[@johnmacdonald812]

Don't worry Andy, we've got 4 or 5 of the main cast on this ship, I think we'll be fine in the asteroid field.

[@rothea]

"What better shape for a gunship than the shape of a big gun?" I dunno, maybe shapes that allow it to go to space and come back alive? Or have you already forgotten what you learned from those poor Kerbles?

[@RobCleverPig]

Emily R “learned”

[@rothea]

Touché

[@marhawkman303]

We learned that Kerbals can survive for months without food, but burn up at approximately 200°C.

[@JKM395]

I heard that Exul Harcrow wears those glasses because the full force of his gaze could kill millions and that what you’re hearing isn’t actually a guitar solo. That’s the sound of his sneeze!

[@X3._.n3]

JKM395 they also make sure people don't realise he's really Chuck Norris

[@ianammons2694]

JKM395 Or it could be the sound it makes when he strokes his beard using his mouth as an amp.

[@haywire8920]

I heard he was the legend 27

[@davidwit7749]

Is it really a good idea to name your starship "Icarus"? In retrospect, the ship being destroyed on its maiden voyage shouldn't be surprising.

[@Khanemis]

I heard that the original name was Titanic but they thought it would be too daring with all those space icebergs around so they went with the second option instead.

[@callumdonington2227]

*At the drafting table* We need to find a name for the predecessor to the Icarus, how about the Bizmark?

[@EGRJ]

Okay, this one I LOL'd at.

[@Echo1608.]

They Should have left the naming of it to the Bentusi.

[@Khanemis]

I strongly recommend to give the "Hindenburg" option another chance. What could go wrong?

[@thehavock]

"Leave every man behind" Captain Jane

[@dallydaydream]

"Oh my god, a space intelligence beyond anything..." "Ram it!" Let it never be said that Jane doesn't also go Full Mike.

[@jorbhenry1123]

"She's had a fight with a biro" made me spill my tea!

[@ilikigaili168]

Good guys outsidexbox making it very clear from the thumbnail to the lower left corner that it is sponsored content...don’t see that everyday.

[@nines3048]

It's the law here in England, you have to have a disclaimer at the beginning and when the sponsored content shows up

[@Chooch1080]

I'd really like to see you guys make a long form series out of this one. It was fun!

[@rkbrillant5265]

Jane should cosplay as Jane Blackwell someday.

[@shotgunshells2]

Rk Brillant Yes please. All she needs is the outfit!

[@jedihorjus]

On one hand, you wonder why anyone would name a ship Icarus, but on the other hand, I'm sure there are _loads_ of engineers out there who would do just that in an attempt to reverse-psychology the universe.

[@kendoyle]

That was the thing I found most annoying in the film Sunshine.

[@McDDcM]

Click on an Outside Xbox video. Immediately hear Mike talk about "ramming speed". Yup, I can already see how this will go. Badly, as usual. P.s. Love you guys really

[@blougras]

Let's start with an escort mission...people like those right? -Developers

[@shotgunshells2]

Paul Burger It doesn't count if the escort target is supposed to die.

[@trismugistus]

Jane: "Wait, what's the rear of the rear end of a ship called?" Andy: "The hull?" Was that the sound of Luke gnashing his teeth in the background? :D

[@davidwit7749]

Luke should have turned the tables and been the one to yell "BOOO! To Andy! In particular!"

[@patrikhjorth3291]

I'm sure he gave them a very stern look.

[@carpemkarzi]

Exul Harcrow my new go to name for characters now. Thx guys ya rock as always.

[@stevencossey5403]

Hmm it's almost like naming a spaceship after a a doomed Greek hero wasn't a good idea

[@Bigal3031]

Ok Guys so the Icarus failed. What next? Um well we have the Titanic . Brilliant nothing could go wrong.

[@Videosaurus_Wrex]

Omg Andy just referenced TIE-Fighter 😢😭😭😭 I was beginning to think I was the only person alive that remembered that game.

[@eloquentlyemma]

Lone Wandering - That was such a good game. I spent many hours playing it.

[@Banquet42]

I think Mike made a Red Dwarf reference as well when he was talking about the chicken soup machine maintenance. I dunno how good the actual game is but I'd happily watch these guys play it and come up with sci fi references all day!

[@marhawkman303]

Congratulations on remembering it! To celebrate we have a free eye exam for you. :)

[@Scruffi]

Are you kidding? It's a classic! I lost countless hours to that game. :)

[@trusarmor4957]

One of the best flight sims Ever

[@AjesDH82]

They said their ship looks like a "Gun", but I could also see it looking like a "High Heeled Shoe".

[@speculativemusings3593]

Anders Hansen what better way for Jane to stomp on her enemies?

[@AjesDH82]

Fry Brony, Yes, but they need one more of those ships, since shoes do usually come in pairs. And with a pair, they can do twice the stomping.

[@jacobgame2757]

Seems like an alright game, does it come with narration from outsidexbox?

[@scumcha8197]

"Don't fly to close" He says to the commander of the spaceship called Icarus, flying to close is its speciality

[@ulfhazelcreek8108]

AstroJane is finally at home.

[@jon-michaelharris5840]

Any time I hear, “in space” it sounds like- “in, spAAace”

[@griff9288]

He should have named the ship the ISS No Brakes!!!

[@rhynlock11]

USS RIP Exul Harcrow? nice name... I guess Jane's machine of space death was unavailable

[@KAKADOUJACK]

I wouldn't mind seeing this become a regular series; this was comedy gold

[@shannonolivas9524]

Reminds me of PC games from the 90's like Wing Commander, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter or Descent, only owing to the fact I'm no longer around 10 years old, I'm only slightly less lost during combat.

[@AimlessGoth]

OutsideXbox survives where Chuck Norries fails. Therefore OutsideXbox is stronger than Chuck Norris, Space Chuck Norris at that. Think of the power they must possess.

[@tuyrh333l.t5]

espically in space where there is no fraction

[@tomatofrufru1935]

Actually there was no "space" before chuck norris left our atmosphere, but in fact when he did so the atoms were so scared of him that they scattered to the far corners of the universe leaving behind the void.

[@brotherrhamiel5428]

Props to Mike for that Greased Lighting reference!

[@NWN2Lover]

You arrive at a station that looks like Deep Space Nine, and shenanigans ensue. Sounds about right. Quark would be proud you thought of his bar!

[@estennison]

"we're getting the last Jedi-ied" greatest oxbox quote ever!

[@Patrick-Phelan]

I'm sure a couple of those wailing guitar riffs were at least cousins to the wailing guitar riffs on Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Dead London particularly.

[@eloquentlyemma]

To everyone in the comments who thinks that naming the ship Icarus is a bad idea; if you remember the myth, it wasn’t a problem except that Icarus decided to show off and then accidentally flew to close to the sun. Flying too close to the sun is a bad idea whatever the ship name is. ... oh, it’s Team Oxbox. better break out the sun screen!

[@danhulson8703]

this is how Sponsored content should be,Its clearly labeled in the Title and on the screen

[@lewisprice1512]

Repairing chicken soup machines??? Red Dwarf, anyone?

[@petersmith1886]

@Fort Blocks its brilliant the early series are tge best really like the first 5 series but u end up loveing it so much even the newer ones u want to watch

[@mart84]

Douglas Adams said that space is big really big. ,Yet Mike somehow manages to crash into a fairly large space station LOL

[@angrydrummergirl2648]

I think Andy and I had Mass Effect PTSD when we heard the Reaper-esque BWOMMMMMM XD

[@Scruffi]

I really want to make a joke about Higgs's Bosons, but I'm not going to do that. I'm so proud of me.

[@TheJaguar1983]

Amazing that the portrait looks a lot like Jane.

[@suicidalbanananana]

Thumbs up for straight up saying its sponsored content, and the game looks cool too :)

[@musicadictor]

Exul Harcrow? His beard is so big because it's full of secrets!

[@fredbyoutubing]

That guitar rift reminds me os the original Starcraft

[@jordanjohns7981]

I can only imagine the crew of the ship singing space shanties while boarding

[@darraksden1727]

That space gun was more of a space high heel! XD

[@couchnerd9630]

Best channel

[@marhawkman303]

best "channel" or best "Channel"? :P

[@NisansaDdS]

I see what you did there @Mar Hawkman I hope OX sees it too and mentions you in SotW. :-D

[@elliottwatt5297]

Well Jane you raise an interesting philosophical question, can a turret ever truly be evil?

[@Jonesie85two]

Nice Vid! I love this type of game. thanks for bringing it to my attention. Keep up the good work ;-)

[@evilqueenofcake1031]

I see that Outside Xbox prefers the velour uniform style of management; sending wave after wave of men at the enemy.

[@rossdenyer5388]

I can't believe they managed to do the whole video without a Tim Curry style 'SSSPPPPAAAAAACCCCCEEEE'

[@scottsanerd]

The USS RIP Exul Harcrow is the best thing that's ever happened.

[@zanite8650]

*Leave every man behind* love it.

[@TheCyborgChimp]

insta like, Gemini warlords is one of my favs! So much potential with this 4x game!

[@Bigal3031]

Exel Hardcrow actually created up and down in space so he could look down on them .

[@pixelettee]

The first character portrait kinda looked like Enji Night to me.

[@HighSummoner_Izzy]

Last night, I decided to rewatch this and drink every time the team said Exul Harcrow. I have a really bad hangover today 🤕

[@olegkozhura]

"Tea drive" is the most British thing I've ever heard

[@CabooseRvb509]

'Vanguard is my class in Mass Effect' Does that include 3? Distinctly remember any enemy harder than a Marauder had the ability to instagib you, if you got too close. Bit of a bummer when your main attack is teleporting next to an enemy.

[@davidstepanek6107]

The Icarus had no fear of icebergs I see...

[@edcarlson1392]

Ok Jane... assume the position. I’m sure I know what you meant but some might misinterpret that statement. 😂😂

[@swimmingbear671]

You see a gunship, I see an uncomfortable high heel.

[@SmallGreenPlanetoid]

Great, now I have to get the game to find out what happens to Harcrow.

[@godspeed2272]

Holy shit was that get out of bed thing a reference to The Weekly Planet, Mike?

[@PatrickLongblkwhtrbbt]

I am sad there was no heist today. Honestly, Rockstar ought to sponsor you guys. Y'all make me wanna play gta online and rdr so much I wish I had money...

[@dawsonschroevers6428]

Asteroids in Asteroid fields are usually miles apart

[@astrocooper]

sorta like a cross between stellaris and elite dangerous then?

[@zaqzilla1]

But do I get to be a space lothario like in Mass Effect?

[@xRiizo]

Gonna need a source on that thumbnail, asking for a mate.

[@famijher]

But, could Exul Harcrow deal with Tim Curry's Space Line? And what would happen if they confronted each other? Would the Universe survive?

[@boraxkid1097]

The adventures of Blast Hardcheese!

[@coldfusion230]

Is this going to be a theme, calling the main protagonist "Jane" and making it look like Jane, just like in NBA 2K15

[@mr.dudemanguymcwiggins9188]

exul harcrow once roundhouse kicked a dwarf star to win the world cup for himself

[@tuyrh333l.t5]

would you do a kingdom come delivernce stream?

[@sovashchetty4838]

Hey, I have a suspicion that this might be sponsored content.

[@nines3048]

Nah, it couldn't be

[@triangledefinition]

Space lightning, surprisingly, is actually a real thing.

[@GrandMarshalGarithos]

I don't think so.

[@triangledefinition]

If I'm remembering correctly lightning has been observed in space, specifically in portions of space that have a lot of plasma and dust clouds, so not just in the middle of nowhere, but in areas that have a lot of ionized particles.

[@nicholascross3557]

One of the lesser known hazards of flying near Jupiter.

[@marhawkman303]

Lightning is really just abrupt electron flows. Anything that can build up an electric charge can produce it.

[@Videosaurus_Wrex]

Oh awesome, I am unsure if I'd enjoy this or not cause on one hand space flight, on the other hand I've been decieved by these games making me think they played well

[@IAmTheAce5]

Well at least the ship has a better chance as long as it's not named "Invincible" ;)

[@SnowyK]

they sent a prototype ship on a solo escort mission as its maiden voyage? Who made that decision?

[@tuyrh333l.t5]

by the way i stayed up late to see this video..... so worth it

[@shannonolivas9524]

By Grabthar's Hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!

[@misterthegeoff9767]

I'm not seeing much 4x in this 4x game. It's looking a lot like Freelancer but with space combat out of Star Trek Online. Or is there a whole space strategy part that you just didn't get round to on this let's play?

[@d2factotum]

There is a lot in the game about sending fleets to take over areas, so yes, it does have a lot more 4X than they show here. You don't get to that part until after several hours of storyline, though.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Good to know.

[@rewritable_]

I still foster slight fading hope for Freelancer 2...

[@stevenjohnson6349]

And you have made your ship un Ellen able. The spiders mike, the spiders.

[@marhawkman303]

Raynor Trace: Under attack by*static* send help. Jane Blackwell: Say again? Raynor Trace: I say again*static* help *more static*

[@VuduBlues]

What's the big deal about 'sub-light' drive? I go that fast every morning on the bus.

[@anthonyervin95]

We salut you, Exul Harcrow. Press F to pay respects

[@Geek-LDS]

This reminds me of the time they built their own town...That ended well, right?

[@marhawkman303]

Yes, yes it did. The middle was a bit sketchy, but the end was good.

[@jacwooly7277]

Icarus engineering is space Lucio

[@jacobchandler3743]

The only way to destroy Exul Harcrow is to fling him into the fires of Mount Doom

[@Notrealmang]

You guys should play space ace

[@shadow3675]

So how good of a computer you going to need to play this?

[@marhawkman303]

IE a new one :p

[@evanhuegel400]

His face exudes a gravitational pull? No wonder he is so attractive.

[@ERICxXxPlus]

Just me or does the ship you guys chose look like a giant shoe/heel???

[@CuriousMind477]

My only issue with this game came later on when I would send AI fleets to defend territory and they would take totally unrealistic losses. Yea sorry but 3 Dreadnaughts and a couple battleships wouldn't lose half their number to 20 gunships.

[@isupergirl]

Sass....always be sassing. :D

[@AngelBeatYunara]

...I suddenly feel like playing Freelancer again.

[@fulviopontarollo2952]

31:30 Craaaaaaaab people, craaaaaaaab people

[@ADean415]

Ok, someone who's an artist please draw their logo idea, cos I genuinely want to see what the USS RIP Exul Harcrow's logo would look like in all of it's spray paint glory.
