Oxtra Xmas Challenges 2021 Edition

[@johannvongenerico9487]

Andy's art critic persona is an absolutely massive highlight of every year

second only to trolling Andy. like during resident evil village hallowstream.

@@nathan.w4981 him pretending to be all calm and collected in the doll house despite his epic freaking out first time round when he was on the controls was bloody funny

Ah, my favourite genre of Oxtra video; Luke and Ellen forget about playing the game and just have fun killing everyone including each other

I regularly have an issue where I can't summon the energy to watch something like the xmas challenges or the blades in the dark vids but your videos give the best bits and give me the energy to watch the whole thing which I am very grateful for

1:00 "Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide. Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on the dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark." 7:43 I actually did a spit-take at that. Brilliant timing on the gull note. My head canon now also includes Andy owning several self-indulgent (but tasteful) marble sculptures of himself that stare at a wall of Pikachu pictures.

I forgot about the actual carnage that was the Skyrim fishing challenge. XD

[@pinkcowqueen]

I clicked on the video, and apparently on my last watch I'd had to go and do something around 1:55 . I cannot tell you how confused I was to be greeted by that

[@sebastiangutierrez4587]

Didn´t know how much I needed this until I started watching, thanks!!! :D

[@nickjeffery536]

I literally couldn't believe my eyes when Andy actually chose Ellen's Pikachu...

@14:02, when did Oxtra get into golden showers? 😬

13:00 Filename extensions are a cultural convention rather than a technical feature anyway. With the right interpreter, even random JPEGs you download from the internet are executable. ".EXE" is silly, but not having any extension like we do on Unices leads to ambiguity; ".BIN"'s as good of a convention as any for executable machine code or bytecode. My data cares naught for your artificial rules, tyrant. Can I interest you in my workstation OS that stores native code as " .BMP" images? The rasters are traced to SVGs prior to execution, the XML tags of which are then JIT'd as an AST. The native GUI toolkit is a subset of Electron, but it requires you to buy our proprietary coprocessor that's a hardware implementation of Javascript (explicitly *not* ECMAScript) and CSS. Most IO is with standards-compliant audio jacks- If you prefer keyboards, we have a PS/2 adapter that yells out the name of each key you press. For networking, we've created a high-bandwidth optical interface: You point an HD webcam at the left half of your screen, and then the local machine flashes each letter of each serialized packet on-screen while the remote machine runs OCR on the high-bandwidth webcam feed to reconstruct the packet.

I'm just shocked that in an industry where the one universal rule is that nothing works the way you want it or expect it to, people still get offended over perceived media portrayal inaccuracies. There's *no* right way to use or hack computers. The damn things are cursed. All those containers and frameworks try to cover up the massive writhing ball of cursed smoke at the heart of every microprocessor, but that only makes it angrier. You'd think after running into your 50,000th compiler bug and massive unfixable hardware vulnerability, it'd be a little easier to suspend disbelief. With judicious use of row-hammer, maybe it *is* possible to "reverse .BIN your way into the mainframe".
