Show of the Weekend: Days Gone and Luke's Kirby Extra Epic Yarn Pompom Crafting Challenge

[@outsidextra]

Happy Saturday! This week, Ellen talks about her time with upcoming Days Gone, and things get crafty as Luke quizzes her on all things Kirby!

[@bastiknapp2426]

It's good to see Ellen healthy again

[@hueykratos]

I like how show of the weekend can go from being a gaming show to straight up Art Attack, so random lol my dudes.

[@jojotheswede8444]

Ellen, i have a cat :)

[@sammiller8925]

Yay staurday

[@sammiller8925]

The best day

If Deacon gets infected, will he be Freaky Deacy?

[@dallydaydream]

I knew there was a joke to be made somehow with that, and you did it perfectly * applauds *

[@XescoPicas]

Freaky Deacy indeed...

[@maxvel0city906]

I can hear Ellen's distant voice saying "DAMMIT"

[@LateSleeper]

No, he'd be Freakin' Deacon

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Lol, my Deac's.

[@brocksisson7128]

Everyone brings home souvenirs from a trip, Luke just upped the souvenir game. Challenge accepted.

[@videohound2005]

All you have to do is bring back a mummy, Dont worry about the curse of everlasting darkness, and face suckings

[@homegrowntwinkie]

That's the REAL challenge, not the pompom out of yarn thing

[@suikofan]

Ellen is so nice she even apologizes when she insults Konami.

[@marhawkman303]

That wasn't an insult. Just a somewhat colorful way of saying how much she didn't like that game.

It's kind of cute how Ellen and Luke have accidentally become co-parents of an expanding family. Ethan the Egg, now Yarn Kirby, it's adorable, really.

[@austinberry5696]

Kirby, yarn, and Ellen all in the same video?! *HOW IS THIS MUCH CUTE ALLOWED IN ONE VIDEO. THIS IS DANGEROUS*

Master Samex17 I’m sure Luke has said in the past that he’s vegetarian. Must have misremembered. Anyone know?

[@tommythecat7752]

@@jimmytwotoes You know, I seem to remember him saying that as far as animals go he only eats fish, or maybe other sea animals as well. I don't know exactly.

She's one of Jane's experiments. She genetically engineered Ellen.

[@bradypermenter8761]

Ellen playing with the yard scientifically proves that she is actually a cat. But she’s to big to be a single cat. So the only possible explanation is that she is compromised of multiple cats in a human suit

[@kallasantysanty6092]

@@bradypermenter8761 So Ellen is like Lady of Pain in Planscape: Torment, just made of cats instead of squirrels? In case i'm right, lets stay away from her shadow :P

"That lovely sense of foreboding." a.k.a. Working with Jane.

[@TransDragonBear]

That Kirby just blends into the sofa. Thank you for making my Saturday mornings before work more bearable.

[@sethneville]

I wasn't going to say anything about it, because I know it was a working trip, but when I saw yesterday that Luke was here in Chicago I was really hoping that he had time to visit the Field Museum. I'm delighted that I was right, mostly for him. Their dino exhibit is awesome.

[@TheJaguar1983]

Pom-pom Kirby is the new mascot and shall sit on the couch forevermore.

[@emmbea]

Tbh if Luke and Ellen attempting to raise a Kirby as their Round Son was a show, I think we’d all watch it

[@Monkeyzforever]

I'm so glad Jon came in with the save and brought scissors that are actually suitable for cardboard - the thought of using thread scissors for that is physically painful

The look on Luke's face when Ellen said you had to be a good driver... heaven help you if you met him on the road.

[@jon-michaelharris5840]

22:20 one of those times you want Andy to randomly walk into room

[@markmandal3467]

Next up is Luke being tricked by Jane into a trip into the oxbox underground murder bunker. You know just to work out the kinks on their tracking chips, nothing sinister about it.

[@almostirrelevant9181]

Fun Fact: There is a monster in D&D called a Flump. It’s a bit like a jellyfish that floats through the air and lives off of the psychic energy. It’s actually really peaceful and adorable, and all it wants is the evil creatures around it to go away and stop polluting its food supply with evil.

[@miss-petrolea]

I fully expect a multicolour pompom Kirby infestation in the background of all upcoming videos for the foreseeable future.

[@dallydaydream]

I'm just imagining them multiplying like tribbles...

[@Dreamklubdk]

That would be amazing! Over a series om videos they start to creep into frame.

[@57thorns]

If just "a few" fans send one each in the mall.... :-)

Luke looked like he has a fun time at the dinosaur exhibition

[@dallydaydream]

Glad to see the return of Ellen reviewing games with facial expressions and noises.😂

Kirby's googlie eyes were hilarious. When Ellen imitated the googlie eyes was simply another level.

You ever notice how outside Xbox’s yarn creation is an unknown horror always watching while xtra’s is an adorable child? Because I noticed that today

[@florazom]

I just want to say that meta knight does have a backstory, it’s that both he and Kirby are part of a incredibly long lived race that protect the universe, with meta knight training Kirby. A note to this Kirby is said be both a toddler and 200 years old, so when I did some life maths their race seems to last 40,000 years

[@NimbleTack]

Is anyone else worried that next week Mike will be missing and Kirby will be a lot bigger and obsessed with driving games?

CRAFT NERD HERE! Just a helpful tip: if you wrap a bit more wool around the template before you do the snip, the hole in the middle will be a tad smaller therefore a bit easier to prevent the cut pieces from falling. 10/10 pom pom

[@logansrevenge1214]

Yeah the Devs really push that they're not zombies they're freakers. Are they though? They're Zombies....

[@neilcognito]

LOl, I feel like the reason I probably won't play Days Gone, is not to go insane, every time the Devs try to insinuate something is something else when clearly they're what they are. Like, "they're not zombies, they're freakers" but yet still, they're dead people brought back to life from a biohazard, and what drove me even crazier is the not Outpost but an outcamp thing! They're literally the same thing, both functionality wise, and definition wise - hi yia yiaa.

[@homegrowntwinkie]

I honestly think the whole thing is that they ARE Zombies, but the people in-game refer to them as freakers. Same thing with Walking Dead, and how they call them "Walkers" instead.
