Show of the Week: Control and the Andy Wake Challenge

[@chrislin2663]

After the show Andy: Lunch? Jane: Launch? Launch what? Launch a rocket with Mike in it? Ok Andy but it's your idea! *launches rocket Andy: What Jane: What

[@roguedogx]

Chris Lin do you think someone put pants on Mike before launching him into space?

[@cherrydragon3120]

roguedogx nah

[@AndersDahnielson]

Sawing Luke in half? Wouldn't that just leave us with two extra Ellens?

[@preciousrogue1833]

I got as far as the intro, realised tickets were actually on sale, freaked out and ran around my house yelling until someone agreed to go with me. I’m seeing the Oxventure live! 😄😄😄🎉🥂🙌😁

[@preciousrogue1833]

Now to actually watch Show of the Week...

[@samuelancer6649]

I'm jealous. Have a great time.

[@daafaev15]

Oxventure? Oxdyssey? Oxploit? Oxpedition? Man, I suck at this

[@brentage5000]

That's some nice cover storying there, Jane. I don't think Andy suspects a thing.

[@fabianlaibin6956]

Brent Dreher what? What cover story? In an entirely unrelated topic, Jane's mom seems to be an explosive sort of person.

[@portentouslad5051]

On the subject of cover stories Jane, I think we need to have a word about misuse of Mikes trust. Sending people to space might sound like fun, but only if they are consenting adults.

[@portentouslad5051]

Fabian Laibin that's pretty much what I expected Jane's mum to be like.

[@brentage5000]

Portentous Lad a fair point. When dealing with children (Luke and Ellen) or those with mental issues of any sort (Mike), some form of consent or an accompanying guardian is usually needed

[@scorpix96]

Potentous lad we're talking about Mike. He'll be all to happy to strap himself to a massive explosive device (especially if you tell him that rockets are basically explosion powered space cars...)

[@benisbread8699]

I think Mike needs a cool stage name for his being launched into space stunt. Something like, "The Incredible Magic Mike"! ...Oh wait, probably not that one...

[@europademon]

Why not the incredible Magic Mike? Ah... My wife just informed me that stage name is already taken. lol

[@benisbread8699]

23:36 Well, come to think of it maybe that name is more apt than I first thought

[@nashdiy8570]

Well he did forget his pants.

[@jacobbible3024]

Andy my dude that shirt is 2 sweet

[@andymcp4752]

So you thought Sam Lake could only make games rhyming with his namesake? Mistake! Partake in this original game, no remake, sure to generate intake and shake awake enough admiration for Remedy to overtake the competition, how does that sound cupcake!

[@peronicavanna]

Andy Mcp this comment must have been an ache to cook and bake, you can take a tea break and eat some steak!

[@PatrickLongblkwhtrbbt]

Now rap it Vids or it didn't happen

[@daafaev15]

*to the beat of Wild Wild West*

[@nashdiy8570]

BRILLIANT!

[@Yuhara_rev]

Andy Mcp I wish I could send you pizza because that comment is awesome

[@acciodance]

Hey everyone at OxBox/OXtra! I just wanted to take a minute to tell you all how much your channels have meant to me these past few years. I discovered you guys right before starting my Master's program almost two years ago, and since then you've been the channels that I most eagerly await uploads from. This past school year was an awful one for my mental health, and I really went through some dark periods, but watching you all has never failed to help me tune out and just escape from all of that for a little while. Whenever I couldn't cope with school or thesis stress, these channels are what I would turn to. Because of my struggles this year, it took me a really long time to finish my thesis, but I'm happy to say that next Thursday I finally get to defend my thesis and officially get my Master's degree, and I'll be moving onto a PhD program this fall halfway across the country. I can say with confidence that without your channels to calm me down and just get me through some days, I would not have been able to reach this point. So I want to thank you all for being such a fun, happy, and just generally wonderful corner of the internet for me to turn to. I wish I could do more to thank you all for the positive influence you've had in my life these past few years. I know that when I'm in the process of moving to this brand new city where I've never even visited let alone know anyone, your videos will help me feel less scared. You're all the best!

[@dragon-kitty]

So what your telling me is someone made a fridge that was a weeping angel? *is now terrified of going into her kitchen*

[@zeet8251]

Kitty Meow I think so or like that one statue SCP

[@ayanhaider303]

On one hand I'd love to see Mike get launched into space live, on a rocket.....On the other hand I'd rather prefer it that Jane no longer sends anything else into space to upgrade her laser death beam.

[@eurusadventum2122]

Ayan Haider God tht was a troubled time wasn't it?

[@scorpix96]

Mike would probably love to be launched into space on a rocket though... Kill to birds with one stone (or one Mike. With an oversize rocket. wait, I've lost track of what I was saying again)

[@Taliysin]

Indeed Jane, “no trust, is the problem”. Always thinking of the bigger picture there, it would have to be a big picture to fit the whole rocket....

[@Binary-]

I can just picture Mike on the great British bake off During the technical challenge; Mike: Alright, it says to put it in the oven for 30 minutes! Mike: ... [slowly raises flamethrower] Mike: But I know a quicker way Mike: [proudly presents his duck shaped showstopper] This is going to blow your minds Judge: Is there a bomb in it Mike: ...maybe

[@mysteryman1036]

Binary that is PERFECT. PERFECT, I TELL YOU!!!!!!!

[@Lappcinite]

There once was a game called "Alan Wake" Made by the builders of "Quantum Break" Then came "Control" Whose name was droll When it really should have rhymed with Sam Lake

[@liamquraeshi2898]

Man, The bureau of control really reminds me of the scp foundation.

[@SirVer51]

khamjaninja I mean it's basically SCP-689. Also a bit like 173.

[@mysteryman1036]

Ohmygoshyou'rerightWE'REALLGOINGTODIE!!!

[@griff9288]

Open world games do not make people lose track of the plot!!!! I have played a lot of Fallout 4 and I never once got distracted from the settlement building!

[@cherrydragon3120]

Patrick Griffiths settlement building is the main plot?? I thought going out to help settlements was the main plot O:

[@Mailark]

Wasn’t it searching for your son?

[@Okotom02]

Ńbi

[@stephaniepines3961]

Jane: Elegance and malevolence Andy: Dry, modern sardonic wit Luke: Posh, apologetic, hugh-grant-esque quality. Ellen: Intelligence and effervescence Mike: *Dances with no bottoms on*

[@shivamib]

Stephanie Gooch Ellen: intelligence and giggleness

[@polkarrty]

Jane when Andy says control he's talking about the game not the mind,world government,type of control,don't show too much enthusiasm you'll blow your cover

[@clarice8604]

IDK why but the protagonists voice in Control really grates on my ears....But I love you, OxBox!

[@inkno701]

Good old Wrenchy and Scythey, I remember when you couldn't turn your head at a Comic Con without seeing them everywhere.

[@PeterGriffinfromFortnite]

Bullet Club is Fine.

[@Adishollywood]

Euan f-f-f-for life

[@bluehatracoon4408]

Euan captain fooking new japan

[@robertoazuaje9279]

Adishollywood Except for AJ Styles!

[@samiconstantin9219]

This is my first show of the week ever

[@Liveebee]

"That time Alan Wake got killed in a cemetery by a guy with a wrench" by guy with a wrench.

[@TheDevilsAdvocate.]

I got chills, they’re multiplying, an I’m looooooosing control. From the power ousidexbox supplying, it’s electrifying.

[@antzonk1736]

So excited for this game, as a PS4 player I’ve never had the honour of playing Alan Eake or Quantum Break but always love the look of them

[@interregnum_]

That explosion seals it: that really is Jane's mom on the phone.

[@Canadian_Zac]

I'm pretty sure these Challenge of the Week's are just excuses to get other people to complete achievements for them.

[@TMWriting]

I am the diehard PlayStation player that you mentioned and the only Xbox exclusive game I have ever actually been disappointed I couldn't play was Quantum Break, so I'm super pumped for Control!

[@johnoneil9188]

Aw maaaaan, and here I was looking forward to watching Mike ride a rocket to glorious victory. Glorious fiery, exploding victory.

[@warandpoetry9542]

Looks good. I guess I need more 'Control' in my life, eh? No, seriously, I'm spiralling here...

[@Dribbleondo]

I love Janes' forgetful acting, it's so genuine. For all we know, it is.

[@timothymclean]

So, they're introducing more nonlinearity into Control? I look forward to telekinetically throwing monster trucks at romantic scenes.

[@mattball8622]

Andy having a meltdown about two minutes in is the most I've laughed at an Oxtra video in ages. Amazing.

[@sinfulgeek1721]

The challenge of the week mike gave to Andy made my anxiety skyrocket. That was so stressful, even just to watch.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

I'm so glad you mentioned Fringe, that was such a cool show!

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

Oh boy, can’t wait for the live shows!

[@userjames1]

Mike: What was that? Jane: 🖐️ Don't worry about it.

[@kparran79]

who remembers g4? i just recently found this channel and you guys are my g4!

[@Boyzby]

Andy going off on Corncrake and the rest was pretty great, and I love Jane's reaction to it all. Was laughing so much, I had to watch it again. XD I've always wanted to play Max Payke, but a copy of it never fell into my hands.

[@freddyrussell7778]

Andy with a bullet club tshirt! My 2 favourite things are finally coming together

[@richard_gonzalez]

I clicked to watch the video based on Andy's shirt. Too sweet me bro.

[@nieblas112w]

You know if Jane wasn't spawned by Cthulhu himself I could almost believe that her mom would sell her a rocket.

[@RedKrossSquad]

Jane, I think you must replace Andy ASAP. He seems to be to knowledgeable of your plans.

[@NisansaDdS]

Again?

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

NEVER! I cannot hAndyle if he disappeared.

[@ZillDiddlY]

isn't this like the fourth Andy? Jane really needs to get better clones that don't stumble upon her plans .

[@shivamib]

I read this as plants and was about to go on a pot tangent 😁

[@rayv3r]

Andy channeling his inner Morpheus. "What is, control? How do we define, control?"

[@aloneintherain29]

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. The revelation that Jane has an actual mother and wasn't summoned from one of the lower planes has me reeling.

[@dougiemcbain]

I noticed the MrPointyHead cameo in the leaderboards. Ah nostalgia, just like the olden days of inside Xbox.

[@taniaselfindulgart3847]

"A Heroic Shadow Farmer" who is all sexy and goes on secret missions sounds like an amazing game pitch.

[@respectableaf9061]

4:11 She clocked him, because he needed a time out. :)

[@alexlee4154]

One of my favourite yahtzee quotes is 'Alan Wake and quantum break? Are you guys writing a fucking limerick?'

[@janecalloway4483]

When you were talking about Launching Mike into Space (SPACE!) my computer did a weird thing where it began loading Fallout 3 and i was hearing rocket sounds. Wasn't until pausing the video that i realized the sounds being heard was not (sadly) Mike going to space. SPACE!

[@hazemalagha]

Take 'How about control? Yeah I like that' out of context sounds like Jane is an evil master mind (I mean I never doubted that) but it furthers my belief.

[@bdiddy2k6]

If you can't launch Mike, launch Andy.

[@TjPhysicist]

Saw this video on my feed. It's funny how eyes work: First thing I saw was Jane then Andy, then the words "Control" and "Andy" and then "Wake". I can only assume this is a video about Jane trying to control a sleeping Andy whilst trying to not wake him up.

[@TheRupertLitterbin]

Those enemies must really be taking the hiss

[@maxlittlewood]

Wait so if we've already got our tickets to the "Mike Missile: a journey into the stars" do we get a refund?

[@dragon-kitty]

Max Littlewood - Mike is going to be so disappointed

[@europademon]

Max Littlewood - The launch has only been postponed until Andy can be properly dealt with. I mean goes on vacation.

[@usbiv223]

You know, it actually does make sense that Jane's mum is an arms dealer with high power rockets. Kinda explains that whole physics-to-broadcaster transition, coupled with conquering Europe with Eldridge magics...

[@darkjackel8608]

Thanks for all your hard work! 😄

[@Hellwyck]

"Going forwards, never backwards and twirling... always twirling!"

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

So here's what we do instead of the rocket. We get Jane's old Space Laser from a few years ago, and dig into Andy the Sentient Planet to install said laser. We then get all the robot, cat, and clone copies of the crew members and station them there, and- wait that's just Star Wars.

[@plume...]

The fridge thing in Control sounds like an SCP Foundation game. That is a very good thing indeed!

[@Platonis-The-Warlock]

Yay, Jane and Andy watched Fringe. That was fantastic show.

[@zeet8251]

I thought the artsyle for contol looked somewhat like the smaller game Echo, it's pretty cool and if you guys haven't seen it you should check it out

[@heidicontrol]

I knew there was something missing from the Great British Bake Off - and now i know it's jet ski tricks!

[@imaginationequalszero7556]

The look on mikes face when Andy asks if he isent wearing any pants is great

[@mercuryshadow5445]

‘IVE BEEN HERE SINCE YESTERDAY WITH NO BREAK’ all too familiar for every health care worker, ever.

[@europademon]

See... Mike wants to escape and Jane wants to launch him into the stratosphere on a rocket. Everything will work itself out in the end. We just need to sit back and enjoy the sky flowers blooming.

[@cherrydragon3120]

Donald Hudson sky flowers with bits of mike

[@karmak8685]

“Oh control? Yeah I like that” 😳😳

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Andy Wake is Alan Wake's long forgotten brother, whom is now making game videos while his brother Alan struggles with the darkness. Heck, Andy could help Alan with it. He even is good with words.

[@JayMysterious]

"They wrench, and scythe, and wrench and wrench and scythe! Wrench, wrench, wrench! Scythe, scythe, scythe! The Wrenchy and Scythey shoooow!" Wrenchy and Scythey in: "All's well that And's well"

[@oGRYzki]

This is one of those situations when last health bar is the hardest to lose,

[@callumdonington2227]

Control reminds me of that time I slipped into a coma after a 72 hour X-Files, Twin Peaks and cheese bender I went on.

[@fatcat1399]

Yeeeesssss I remember Fringe!!! Such a good show!!! 🤘👽🤘

[@maclennanld]

"The hiss" makes me think of those sunken eyed grey things in suits from Dr who

[@MrGoremuffin]

2:12 that eye roll xD

[@Niehm]

I don't think I've ever seen Jane roll her eyes before... you made her lose control 😂🤣

[@TMAC_burninator]

I like Jane’s Ellen impression, what with the laughing and the falling over. XD

[@inarisguardian8313]

The kooky objects part really reminds me of SCP

[@samgonzalez8662]

I like how that's Mike's response to not wearing pants, a Pennywise the Clown dance.

[@audoldends6799]

Sitting here with my second degree burns from the first and only time I’ve ever gone outside I can relate to the Taken’s light allergy

[@TheJaguar1983]

2:24 Jane's gone the full Ellen, losing it with uncontrollable laughter. Ok, maybe 75% Ellen

[@caffeinatedk937]

I really love Jane in button ups 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@mnArqal93]

Control feels like Warehouse 13 crossed with Alan Wake with telekinesis powers. Hmm, I'm convinced.

[@RobertJW]

This is the second video this week I’ve seen on KZbin with a Bullet Club shirt where the video is completely unrelated to wrestling.

[@darraksden1727]

Ive wanted a game with powers like this for sooooo long!

[@g4cky]

Andy trying to rhyme made me think of the Fairly Odd Parents theme song.

[@callmehanson9466]

I could kind of imagine Mike being launched into space on Jane's behest while singing Elton John's Rocket Man and controlling the rocket: for a rocket is just like a car BUT IT CAN FLY.

[@revenoix7806]

To be honest, Control looks like the closest we'll ever get to a Triple A SCP game.

[@notoriousbmc1]

FRINGE was a great show. Sometimes I wonder if there might be an alternate, good Jane in one of the multiverses.

[@emmabyrne9274]

On the one hand I really want to go to meet the oxboxtra crew at egx; on the other hand I'm Australian and don't really have the resources to afford to travel to the uk, find a place to stay, and get get a ticket to egx.

[@Canadian_Zac]

So Control's like a nock-off of SCP. Some Employee's have weird abilities, lots of strange objects that you have expendable people experiment with.

[@Jessie_Helms]

When you’re super excited about them saying they’d be in Birmingham but you remember Birmingham is also in England (I live in Birmingham Alabama, USA)

[@domlocke3845]

"The corn crake, corncrake or landrail is a bird in the rail family. It breeds in Europe and Asia as far east as western China, and migrates to Africa for the northern hemisphere's winter." In case, like me, you had no idea what in the broken rake a corn crake was.

[@Retr0Whiskey]

The oldest house seems a lot like a sc(i)p to me. Especially the thing with the fridge.

[@P3DR0877]

James Ward agreed was thinking this is inspired bye SCP AND maybe bye the show fringe

[@cherrydragon3120]

It does deffinetly have a SCP containment breach vibe. Wich btw. I cannot wait for to drop out of early acces with its remake

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Great. now every time I drink wine out of a mug I feel like Andy's going to be judging me.

[@senhowler]

Regarding the Hitman footage: Wouldn't a better question be "why did he hide the explosive in a carburetor and then just slap a big flashing explosive on the back of the car?"

[@scarletpsychowolf3578]

Looks like Andy is ALL IN

[@Bear_Incorporated]

Wow, Get Smart took a dark turn. I'm confused that they replaced KAOS with the hiss, though. Apparently they also wanted to get inspiration from GI Joe's Cobra.

[@Cyfrik]

4:02 - Wait... A non-Euclidean location, referred to as "the oldest *house* "? Let's hope the game includes a _minotaur_ as well, because it sounds like that would be appropriate.

[@samdilks9516]

Control is probably the closest we'll get to a professionally-made SCP Foundation game

[@Taracinablue]

Lol, Andy got Jane to fall over laughing like Luke does to Ellen all the time! I'm not sure I've seen Jane lose it before =P

[@plumhazey2682]

You guys have really awesome T shirts. this control game looks amazing, I wants it when does it come out?
