Show of the Weekend: Monster Hunter World and Ellen's Palico-Poogie Meltdown

[@outsidextra]

Show of the Weeeeeeekeeeeeend! Luke's put together a Monster Hunter World quiz, and Ellen fangirls over Assassin's Creed before "aww"-ing uncontrollably at kitty cats with their ickle noses and tiny pawsies eeeeeeeee 💜 🐈

[@masterfulsnowelf2840]

Where can we send pictures and stuff in?

[@samuellightwing5467]

How you know Ellen wrote a comment: 'tiny pawsies eeeeeee' :D

[@cadburybunny]

POUTINE! We will win over the world one plate of poutine at a time!!!!

[@creampuffkuru9878]

Ellen just missed a good opportunity to answer any of the houses in KoA, or maybe it's better that way cause i have a feeling ellen will go super fangirl giggles spree on the people of amalur.

[@ChristianSpliess]

Me thinking about Monster Hunter: "This game is really, really beautifull." - Ellen about Monster Hunter: "CAN IT HAZ CATS?"

[@ApesWithEgos]

If I may speak in defence of all us Canadians... Ellen was broken when she arrived, we take no responsibility for any increase of pun usage.

[@bobnewbie8262]

But, nevertheless, sorry!

[@tommydoez]

It's like the infinite English sorry, but with Canadians!

[@TheAsylumCat]

M Mitchell how? The box said "fragile".

[@yurboidandy]

All Canadians are stuck in a english infinite sorru loop

[@Znijik]

"If there's any opportunity for me to make a fuss over a cute animal, then I will take that." -Ellen 2018 Such wisdom.

[@Sableagle]

Also the best campaign promise I've heard in 40 years.

[@johnmacdonald812]

So. Ellen freaks out when she see's things that are small and adorable. This makes her do adorable noises. She is small. No one let her see a mirror, she'll be stuck in an endless loop!

[@CantankerousDave]

That's, er... You raise a valid point.

[@lukadun5726]

As a Canadian, I must say I am INCREDIBLY offended. Haha, just kidding that doesn’t happen

[@Ottertone]

As a fellow Canadian and on behalf of Canadians, we're sorry you feel we're offended!!! Don't listen to Andy though, you're always welcome to the Great White North!

[@darkmessiah-minecraft9272]

finns beat yer arse

[@bretth342]

As a fellow Canadian: it's calla toque, Ellen

[@rastilin619]

Anyone notice how Ellen just curled into a smaller and smaller ball as Luke showed her more cats? What would happen if we just played an endless loop of cat videos in front of her. Would she just become a singularity at some point?

[@sebastiangutierrez4587]

And that's how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a giggle

[@artturisiikanen3843]

she will collapse into herself

[@leolin8956]

I want someone to look at me like the way Ellen looks at that pig plush

[@13DeathWolf]

Ellen's reactions to cute animals are almost more adorable than the cute animals themselves

[@laurendrake215]

Excuse you, it is DOCTOR Andy's Horrortorium. He didn't fail eight years of medical school just to be called professor.

[@JoshWalker]

I don't believe that man ever went to medical school.

[@shannonolivas9524]

Hot damn, I dig Blair's art style. Very Mignola/Darkest Dungeon, pro stuff. Looks like really professional art from a game. Very nicely done!

[@shannonolivas9524]

It'd fit into Sunless Sea pretty nicely.

[@DungeonBricks]

Shannon Olivas we have the new final boss for the next d&d game

[@mmic6056]

Does Blair have an instagram perhaps? I'd be interested to see more of his work, his style is wonderful.

[@jonbaxter2254]

Aye agreed, more art!

[@dallydaydream]

The original tweet is here: twitter.com/onegemini/status/954809933295431680 Also, looked him up quickly, seems he's a professional comic artist. ^_^ www.onegemini.com/

[@twilightshadow91]

So Ellen went into a Assassin's Creed room where they record sounds for the game? *Waits for an AC NPC to laugh like Ellen*

[@insertmetalnamehere8838]

I'd rather live in the lovely, isolated tree house that was a mod in Skyrim. You remember, right Luke and Ellen? Who wouldn't want to live somewhere so peaceful...

[@thesilverw0lf]

I hear it's a great getaway for criminals!

[@NotKyleChicago]

Best place to get away from the town guards, from what I remember. Plus, I think it had harvest rabbit or harvest pheasant.

[@Tualarec]

I've said it for years: the creators of Monster Hunter are geniuses. Instead of creating a proper cat humanoid race like in The Elder Scrolls, they went with regular cats who walk on two legs. And they are the best thing ever!

[@whereisspacebar2991]

I'm pretty sure Canada's anthem is something like: "Oh, Canada. Where it always snows. Oh God there's a polar bea-"

[@Lordpooz09]

I thought Ellen's laugh was the best thing ever, but I have to say her losing it over cute things takes the cake..... mmmmmm.... cake.... wait.... what was I talking about?

[@arokh72]

There is no cake.

[@psoma_brufd]

The cake is a lie

[@Sableagle]

You were talking about Ellen losing it over cats. Anyway, this cake is great, so delicious and moist.

[@CrazeeAdam]

She is adorable when she freaks out about the kitties. Her only words are reduced to like less than one syllable words.

[@Sableagle]

Look at you, still gaming when there's petting to do. I bet you ride horses and still don't travel by flue. In LotRO I can bake buns, in L4D I use guns and on OXbox I watch Ellen squee.

[@curtneedsaride]

I’m glad half of the show is Ellen smiling and laughing. Her love of cats is contagious. Thanks for making me laugh!

[@darkpulsegirl2627]

I'm glad you had fun in my country, Ellen! :D

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Such a fun place we got! ;D

[@rashkavar]

"Montreal had this....je ne sais quoi" It's called snow. We get that a lot in this country.

[@aaronmcdonald4685]

Oh my god the concept that Ellen and Luke have been acting their characters the entire time confuses and scares me... LIKING CATS IS DEPTH OKAY? OKAY?!

[@jarrodkelly3948]

If there was ever a time to kill Ellen with cuteness, it's the palico preset quiz

[@juddcarreon9236]

What if Ellen's giggles were actually morse code, and she left messages in each episode?

[@chrislin2663]

Seeing Blair's awesome painting, I really think we should have an artshow of the week/weekend/month just showcasing all the brilliant artists.

[@przemekgeorge1405]

I was pretty sure that Ellen's answer for the cutest Palico will be all of them! I'm very disappointed Ellen! You don't deserve to hold that sweet piggy, give it back!

[@cleanrenewablebenergy2960]

Here's a Canada joke for you: I entered a competition where the winner would receive a real living hog. I retracted my entry, when I realised I didn't really wanna Winnipeg!

[@SWProductions100]

CleanRenewableBenergy BOOO!!

[@blakedawson9697]

Monster Hunter: Bought it to create my cat, stayed for... actually I'm still not done customizing my kitty

[@bobnewbie8262]

As a Canadian, I would like to say, we talked it over, Ellen is now an honorary Canadian. Expect your membership card and Moose riding licence in the post shortly.

[@TheB]

I'm very surprised you gave the Smash Blue Whale art an M1 Ellen, surely an M4 grade would be more appropriate? After all, it's the main road that leads to... Wales.

[@Jambobist]

this is strong

[@DonMoef]

OH. MY. GOD. I have just watch all episodes of "Show of the Weekend" again to find those hidden clues. The things I have seen, the things I have learned. I know the true meaning of life now, and it was all hidden in plain sight. :O

[@Sableagle]

Oh, crap. Another one. Nurse! If we've got any restraints left, bring 'em.

[@angel1990]

Like always the OXtra gang made my face uncontrollably smile from ear to ear: Luke: Can I try the hat on? Ellen: Yes Luke: You don't have lice, do you? Ellen: No Luke: Great, cool Luke, you trust Ellen so much! It's adorable 🐹 PS. Both of you look cute in that hat! 💟

[@Dollightful]

My pick would be Fortree City in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire! Basically any place with tree houses, and I'm sold.

[@chair8588]

Dollightful hello! Catherine

[@coyeh285]

The ending skit was funny as heck

[@luansomething380]

Every Saturday I wake up and watch Show of the Weekend while I'm having breakfast. You guys rock! Hugs from Brazil!

[@emii7044]

omg plEASE do a list of places in video games you guys want to permanently live, i was 100% emotionally invested for for 3 or so minutes you were talking about it

[@jonycards1]

I've never seen someone so excited about having visited Canada.

[@seanthebluesheep]

I think Luke missed a chance for an Ellen-ing there. The correct answer isn't any single palico, it's all of them at once, because they're equally adorable.

[@kiaranaria7211]

No, there is not "more Show of the Weekend to watch"!!! I binge watched them all!!! Give me MOOOOREEEE!!!

[@Ceece20]

I'm impressed with all the comments Ellen and Luke. Judging by the number of Canadians in the comments, you must have gotten all 4 people from Quebec, all 2 from Newfoundland, and all 9 Canadians from everywhere else. That's like 90% of Canada right there!

[@seagreen42]

You're all very welcome to come visit Canada any time you like. I suggest the summer though, less snow then... not always none... but certainly less :)

[@ethanwms]

seagreen42 ummm I think they're only welcome if they wear the hat

[@kiptheott]

Pelican Town from Stardew Valley. It completely avoids the general video-game-location issue of being dangerous. Just start a farm, and enjoy living in a quiet, pleasant town.

[@raymondv.m4230]

Ellen xD "But they're from a french province so they say 'Heeeyy Je ne comprend pas!'" love it

[@jonathanbyard5080]

Best place to live clearly has to be the manor houses you build in Skyrim! You can customize them however you like and they all have amazing views. Definitely has my vote.

[@unexpectedbonk4049]

I love how serious and confident they are in the intro skits and then they completely change to the oddball giggling messes we know

[@matthewdossin570]

Ellen overloading on cuteness is so cute I'm overloading on cuteness

[@szbnahl]

Luke knows a disturbing amount about the dermatological effects of killing 20-30 people.

[@theshuttingdowns]

Would a better Palico name for the one with heterochromia be David Meowie?

[@wyattparker120]

Okay outside xtra, my girlfriend moved to Florida (3,000 miles away) and we're doing long distance, but Ellen acts a lot like her and it's comforting to watch Ellen and Luke talk about games. Thank you guys so much only have 23 months to go!

[@starlight_circuitry]

I would absolutely want to live on the Citadel from Mass Effect. Ooh, or one of the space research facilities they talk about. Not any one in particular, but can you imagine? Space and science all day, every day! The ideal home.

[@MatthewAshworth]

Oh yeah, the Citadel is a great place to live in. Seconded.

[@DarkStar1406]

If I could live anywhere in a video game it would definitely be the Corvo Bianco Vineyard that Geralt gets in the Witcher 3 Blood and Wine! I can already see Ellen's estate agent pitch for it now: Lovely expansive grounds... Conveniently close to the city... Vineyards which you can use to grow your own wine... And it only requires you to fend off the occasional Vampire attack!!

[@zaqzilla1]

The Assassins, "Couldn't we just use a dagger and not have to cut off one of our fingers? Nah lets just cut off our fingers. These wrist blades are way cooler. "

[@angbald]

If Luke was actually Canadian I think the world would implode from his politeness.

[@psygaud]

If Ellen was ACTUALLY a Canada expert she would know that that is a toque, not a hat!

[@src248]

At least she didn't call it a beanie

[@calmterror]

or a watch cap

[@bryan1972ca]

I was going to comment about her not calling it a toque.

[@lebendystraw3683]

M Mitchell what degree program includes the Hatology 101 course? All the local schools dropped it from the curriculum...

[@Sableagle]

It's called Millinery, not Hatology. {rolls eyes} {transforms into Hermione Granger} ... Huh.

[@DurvalLacerda]

When Ellen was doing "AWNN" to the cute cats I was doing "AWNN!" to her cuteness.

[@williamw2529]

DurvalDavi aye a girly girl.

[@nickm-s]

The correct answer for best video game house is obviously Shepard apartment on the Citadel. Not only do you get cool alien neighbors you also get a high tech VR arena across the street an arcade next door. I also hear the local sushi place is amazing.

[@shotgunshells2]

Nick M-S But if Croft Manor is bad, imagine how expensive all that space would be on a SPACE STATION.

[@michielvanalst6821]

When that comment about 80% things gone wrong was featured, I was sorely disappointed they didn't show the footage of Kippers getting launched into space by that troll when he used catnip. (and not just because I forgot which video it was)

[@a.i.1905]

Please do a whole show of the weekend in your 'real' voices, that was too good

[@janecalloway4483]

Favorite thing about watching OxWorld (OutSide XBox & OutSide XTra) Seeing people who Love Video Games with Wonderful Personalities doing something they enjoy together, sharing it with the rest of the world. Thank you for allowing us to join in the Games and all those wonderful warm laughs.

[@jackwinter5421]

I fully support art corner!! Please keep it as a feature! You’d get loads of fan art if people think there is a chance theirs will be shown!!

[@jedihorjus]

I would choose to live in the apartment from Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC. Great location, potential alien neighbors, and, unlike the various fantasy worlds where I would love to go to on vacation, no need to sacrifice modern conveniences.

[@tuyrh333l.t5]

the closeup music gives me the creeps ever since the episode when andy got lost in the wood

[@adammoore4991]

Ellen tenses up, dramatic music plays, .... Luke "I forgot to press start"

[@GhengisJohn]

I used to have friends who'd say things like they wanted to live in a GTA city or in left4dead, I always thought they were crazy. I was very happy James realized what I did, most video game worlds are dangerous. My pick, Zack Island from the Dead or Alive Extreme series. Sand, surf and sunshine on a peaceful tropical island full of beautiful girls. If volleyball isn't your thing you can explore the jungle, relax by a waterfall, go rock climbing, pet prairie dogs, browse the shops, eat something at one of the restaurants, hang out in your luxurious hotel room, visit the casino or just lounge about at the poolside resort. The island features three hotels to choose from, there's a water park with water slides, you can ride the Ferris wheel, bike, jog or partake in the free jetski rentals the island offers. There's a radio station on the island that lets you submit a playlist and the shops are stocked with everything from fancy drones to consoles and computers that anyone can purchase with a few Zack bucks generously provided to anyone who wants to play a game or two, regardless of whether you win or not. So yeah, you could do worse than Zack island.

[@aaronkc2270]

GhengisJohn I feel like I’m reading a brochure

[@Steve-ct5xg]

Ellen! As a Canadian myself, I believe your "eh" was perfect! Combined with that episode where you said sorry a million times I'd say that makes you a true Canadian! #LukesJealousEh... Get it like jealousy... but jealous...eh? Sorry... I'll leave...

[@supremeleadersnoke2246]

I want to live in the island from wii sports resort. The only downside is the semi suicidal pilots who insist on flying through the tunnel in the mountain and the active volcano.

[@tomatofrufru1935]

Supreme Leader Snoke 100% best part of that game...

[@montaigneb5187]

Is it odd that after Luke said "Congratulations kitty number five," during the quiz, I immediately assumed his next line would be "YOU get to live."

[@nathansizemore5357]

I have to say, Drake's beach side house in Uncharted 4 would be my dream game home

[@mattstevens8527]

I always loved heljachen hall(definitely not how its spelled) in skyrim. There's a giant camp just down the road but the house was comfortable and cosy and the snow and trees were beautiful all seasons of the year

[@JoshWalker]

And that view across the valley is amazing!

[@Cooperma426]

Ellen’s face when she remembers that MHW has cats is a level of happy that I aspire to be at least once per week.

[@gratrunka6479]

you guys always put a smile on my face~

[@matiaspereira4128]

Macaroni Madness it makes you wish you had friends as them xD

[@alexwoodworth6843]

Ellen: "There are strongholds that are that high up" *Puts hand at neck height* So, 4 foot?

[@harrisonbayer6049]

Well, I'd live in Rata Sum from Guild Wars 2. Nice tropical area, cool technology, floating buildings and peace-keeping golems. Everything you need

[@BaconPinata]

17:53 na na na na na na na na na CATMAN Fully equipped with moody stare.

[@lathamsmith4171]

I’d want to live in OXtralia. Sure, my house burns down and then floods but I’m from Australia so I’m use to that.

[@aaronmiedema140]

I'm Canadian and I can say that I have in fact had maple syrup in my tea before, it was quite delicious.

[@RayLumos]

Thanks for the videos and thanks for that although I work on weekends, like many others, I´m still looking forward to the weekend. Big thanks ... and sorry for the bad englisch..sorry.

[@warandpoetry9542]

Got your back, Ellen xx (btw I'd live in the house from Edith Finch)

[@TylerJohnson-fs3kp]

When she said eh my Canadian self died inside.

[@maxlittlewood]

Good job with the a-moose-ing pun but you really dropped the ball with the "poutine is the most delicious thing you could *put in* your face". Come on guys no *poutine* your face?

[@isabelchmontuenga]

So im going to Montreal, Canada next year as an exchange student. That intro just increased how much i wanna go

[@Gibsonmaniac57]

Congrats Ellen! You really Brought Home the Bacon! 😉 & Don't you dare make bacon of that piggie! 😝 *Poogie

[@TheCrich266]

This was my favourite episode so far it was just so funny. Love watching the show every weekend.

[@zesock5280]

I want to live in Whiterun in Skyrim: beautiful city, not too crowded, rarely gets attacked by dragons...

[@Nightchamp]

Hey Oxtra, Canadian fan here. This whole episode is hilarious, but Luke's ugly crying in particular absolutely had me in stitches!

[@noonescupoftea8446]

You should have re-named this Canadian themed show as ootside xtra

[@patrikhjorth3291]

No Ones Cup Of Tea That would actually be "Oatside Extra" ;-)

[@artlessauthorite]

i'm not entirely unconvinced about the whole hidden narrative thing... I mean, what with the whole time-travelling pikachu thing and the woods and all that weirdness, plus that one episode that ended weirdly (don't remember details for that one though...)

[@bizarrecult5697]

Ellen is such an exceptionally adorable human I can forgive her Canadian puns, quips and jokes.

[@Taracinablue]

Gotta love the variety of the Show of the Weekend quiz--multiple choice, select all that apply, choose-your-own-adventure, build a character, art challenges... and now timed... petting!

[@paulwade5853]

Ellen did it all for the Poogie Come on The Poogie Come on So you can take that cookie

[@nathanwhitwell2255]

What about the superior manor, Wayne Manor? If you search for long enough, you could find the Bat-cave.

[@CaitlinRC]

I wonder how Ellen reacted to Nintendogs...

[@sicklendhammerstudio]

For the record the answer got to be Varrock from runescape got to get that high frequency grand exchange trading

[@MeMyandI-x1d]

Video game world to live in with no obvious dangers and consequences? Easy, Pokemon. Free health care, and the worst thing you can end up with is being blacked out and waking up in the last hospital you've been through.

[@joan1167]

6:35 Bless you Luke. Do you need a tissue? 😂😂

[@joshkangas3566]

Palicos AND Poogis? YOU BROKE ELLEN

[@BrotherAlpha]

As a Canadian, I can officially say we would love to have Ellen back.

[@UnsafeTuna]

As a Canadian, I'm proud to welcome Ellen as an honorary Canadian

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

We welcome the whole OxCrew! :D

[@wheatey6666]

This is the only 30 minutes of my week, where I just sit with a big grin on my face. Thank you for all the amazing memories.l

[@ReverendSID]

The apartment from Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC would be my choice of place to live for sure. With the colorful wards and the serene Presidium the Citadel seems like a great place to call home... At least until the ancient sentient machines show up and start killing everyone. Well! No place is perfect.

[@Lmckeen]

Can we please have an art appreciation video of all the fantastic art you guys have been sent? I want to see more!!! 🙌🙌

[@TheDewman03]

99% of the reason I watch this is for Ellen's laughter and reactions. Nothing makes me smile more then when she can no longer function because she's laughing so much.

[@felisasininus1784]

TheDewman03 Her giggle and laugh reaction might override her fight or flight instinct, so someone coming at her with a knife wearing a funny hat might be extremely dangerous to her.

[@protectiveteg7003]

Luigi Mansion A... or whichever one was the biggest that E Gadd built for you at the end of the game. That place was huge, and the acreage.
