DINOSAURS! SONIC! Andy joins Luke on the sofa this week as Luke chats Pokémon-Go-style Jurassic World Alive, and Andy sends him on a Sonic adventure! 🦕🦔

[@whathappenedtomyhandle]

Lu-Kandy arrives on scene...

[@tttheemeraldsword7528]

Ellen will likely crash the Millenium Falcon into the studio.

[@RaydeusMX]

I'm one of the few that genuinely liked Jurassic World (more than JP 2 and 3 too) but I'm 100% convinced I'm not going to like JW2 at all.

[@noonetobetrifledwith]

Outside Xtra I'm starting to believe Ellen doesn't have legs

[@planetmarshmellow]

"high" space traveler lol

[@bludger23]

Andy's Ellen impression is on point today. The giggling and the acting interested when Luke talks about dinosaurs.

[@Drundt58]

Carlo Alexie Roxas hes not smiley enough though

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

These intros are getting high budget, I smell an upcoming Netflix series...

[@Orion379]

Vader Minion you jest but I would be cool with that

[@eurusadventum2122]

I would binge it in 12 parsecs.

[@SpartangalaxyII]

how tf would u do that

[@eurusadventum2122]

Spectrum Prime never ask me that question.

[@SpartangalaxyII]

Eurus Adventum the only solution would be for you to travel that exact distance in space whilst simultaneously matching the time of binging the series

[@preciousrogue1833]

14:05 I’m not sure if Andy or Luke is the better Dad-dancer but the real winner is definitely us for getting to watch that moment of beauty

[@lukeaspland9500]

What I've learnt from this video is the OX team seem to have a feud with Chris Pratt

[@jamesbolton5085]

Luke Aspland They're clearly mad about starlord in infinity war

[@lukeaspland9500]

james bolton Yeah just trying to vent the anger

[@sovashchetty4838]

I'm 90% sure this is canonical in the extended Star Wars universe.

[@missivory_missraine]

Sovash Chetty Knowing Disney the writing is much better here. Oxtra can make actual storylines. Unlike a certain company.

[@eurusadventum2122]

Adreus Farrington ohh snap.

[@exquisitecorpse4917]

Speaking strictly from a story perspective, the new Star Wars movies are all pretty solid....you can hate them for various fan reasons, but Black Panther - for example - has worse structure than any of the new Star Wars films (main conflict begins with the Killmonger fight....60% of the way through the movie - *BIG* screenwriting fail). Story structure 101: [Person] wants [goal] because [important reason], but [obstacle] stands in their way; to achieve [goal] they must overcome [inner demon], grow as a person, and - in the end - rise (or fail to rise) to the challenge. All of the new Star Wars movies manage to introduce the main conflict immediately, keep it running for the whole movie, and stretch their characters to the limit. That's all that's required of a storyline.....whether audiences LIKE that conflict and those characters is a different matter entirely.

[@missivory_missraine]

Exquisite Corpse So you're saying maRey Sue, and friends are defendable? Did you just magically ignore Lukes arc in the OT? He saved what was one of arguably the most evil person in the galaxy, and turned him to the Light side. Then in TLJ he wants to kill his own friend, and sisters son because he could be evil?! Are you serious?! That is shitty writing. What about Snoke? He had zero writing, and was just killed off in the snap of a finger. Did you forget the clearly virtue signaling of Cantobyte? Star Wars didnt put fuel loss as a plot in the movies. Never. It was the slowest chase scene in all of history. Admiral Gender Studies had the worst use of rank, and I am amazed she even got to captain with her attitude to leadership. Did we just ignore the whole modern day jokes at the start? You can't defend the obvious crimes on TLJs part. Rey is strong because Rey is Rey. No explanation. No story to even how, or why she can do the things she does. Maybe for FN I can agree with your statement, but he was just the token joke of Disney SW. You can't shit on the OT, and expect old fans to bow down. Luke has a set character. Leia is a set character. Han is a set character. They are cherished, and loved by the fans. Rian Johnson character murdered Luke then killed him once he was done lorefucking Luke into the ground like a tool.

[@exquisitecorpse4917]

And THAT is a perfect example of "various fan reasons" that have nothing to do with story structure....you're talking about expectations, who you think a character SHOULD be.....not story beats.

[@Reject101Personal]

So everyone is buggering off to E3 apart from the sofa, the sofa that i may add has never missed an episode and always pulls its weight. How dare you leave it behind while you are all off having fun. For shame!

[@MozilloGames]

I think the worst part is that I'm not sure if their studio has two sofas and that they have to move them for between Show of the week and Show of the weekend, or when they're recording on their wooden chair. If so... the sofa never pulls its weight, it's very much the OX crew pulling its weight.

[@CaitlinRC]

I think they have one sofa but two different coverings for it

[@coyoteartist]

I just looked at yesterday's SOTW and back at SOTWE and I believe you are right. It explains why there's always wrinkles.

[@ceceliaacaba2739]

I would love to go to E3 anyone eles hoping that Fallout 76 is not crap?

[@jocosesonata]

Luke's reaction at 20:24 is so adorable! It's such a precious, and genuine reaction. Luke really should be given a choose-your-own adventure once in a while.

[@McDDcM]

Of course Luke would identify with Ristar, he also has long grasping hands.

[@maxlittlewood]

I didn't realize 30 seconds of Luke and Andy singing Sonic music is what I needed in my life. Until now.

[@thecastawaydc]

Bearded Ellen's laugh just isn't the same...but the beard does make up for it.

[@zoinks432]

dat phoenix wright ringtone xD

[@jamesscoggin860]

Steel Samurai!

[@McDDcM]

Does Sonic die from dysentery at all in this adventure? It's not a canon adventure if he doesn't

[@jocosesonata]

No dysentery. Guess we'll have to mark this one as non-canon.

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

I think that would be the "sleep in" answer. "You have continued sleeping because procuring clean water in a strange outdoor area of blocky hills, natural loop-de-loops, and random spike pits is quite difficult, and your diet of chili dogs has done nothing to help your immune system. You have dysentery. You gradually grow weaker and eventually pass away, leaving nobody to stop Robotnik (Eggman, if you're in Japan) from using all your fellow woodland critters to power his machinery and conquer the world. Lose one life."

[@marhawkman303]

He had Sonic lose his mind because of running too fast....

[@lutakip.librax4162]

If we're going with that logic (most likely the correct logic), we're gonna have to mark the whole Sonic franchise non-canon...

[@michaelmcdonald1463]

1:28 Andy makes the oldest man noise ever.

[@Avellimachi]

Huge pop for Andy's choose your own adventure

[@harpoonlobotomy]

"I'm trying to embrace animal cruelty" - today's 'Sentence I never expected to here from Luke' entry.

[@nicholascross3557]

He has an unexpectedly dark streak that one.

[@harpoonlobotomy]

It's always the trees with good hair that you never expect.

[@marhawkman303]

He loves Pokémon and monster hunter. It's hard for him to deny his inner ruthless hunter. :p

[@GhengisJohn]

I thoroughly expected to cut to "Chewie" and see a cat.

[@JachAnen]

Video needs to re-uploaded to include this

[@coyoteartist]

I heard that and found myself looking at my cat who is lying on top of the CPU. Probably because I just found her Chewbacca mouse toy downstairs.

[@marhawkman303]

Yeah, Ellen's Chewie would be like one of those Anubite guards from AC:O but with cat features instead of jackal.

[@s76trombone]

One way to make sure Andy doesn't win the quiz: make him quiz master!

[@marhawkman303]

my favorite quizzes are the ones where Jane is getting quizzed.

[@RGR0000]

Man, I really love Luke's laughter; it puts such a smile on my face :)

[@HellwingX1]

"This time, I was too slow..." Sonic T. Hedgehog, 1991

[@roryclayton1786]

I have to say the true charm of your content is how much fun you guys have producing it. Its disarmingly entertaining.

[@kwally0799]

"The high that is speed" and "become addicted to speed" oh no sonic 🤦‍♂️ 😂

[@fairyringdancer1234]

4:23 Andy catches Ellen's giggles on the purple couch.

[@notoriousbmc1]

''Streaking across the Green Hill Zone like a bolt of blue lightening, you've never felt so alive...which is ironic. Sonic dies from dysentery.'' That's what you get when you live in a pile of damp leaves in a ditch. I guess his legs weren't the only thing running fast.

[@insertnamehere8582]

Hey guys, I broke my leg, and when I was waiting in the ER I watched this to take the pain off. Better than no OX, love you guys!

[@Nerokiravision]

I feel old now. How I remembered those songs after all this time when I can't remember what I ate three days ago?

[@Boyzby]

Steel Samurai ringtone? That was the ringtone I had on my first cell phone! Maybe I should change it to that on my current one...

[@ragingrhino101]

choose your own adventure story for luke? Now waiting for him to die of dysentery

[@marhawkman303]

he did die of running himself into a stupor.

[@itskordll7422]

I forgot how utterly ridiculous Sonic losing his life to speed was, thank you for this Andy, your mind is a palace 😁

[@stone5against1]

And I love how Andy kept going and going and going in the description of Sonic's speed and all that before announcing the lost of a life haha

[@Avellimachi]

Andy's dancing is the thing i needed most in my life

[@brocksisson7128]

28:46: The moment Lukes innocence was forever destroyed.

[@ReiyukaE]

Luke's boundless enthusiasm and energy is extremely endearing - and goddammit, I need friends who ask me "choose your own adventure" stories.

[@phantomspannah9679]

Easily one of my favourite episodes of SOTW - I love the Landy/Anduke combo and quiz. Also, massive props to Andy for keeping it together for so long during the JWA segment :D

[@johnoneil9188]

To quote a great man:"Money, uh, finds a way."

[@tusharchandra4276]

So she's going exploring? I think we've discovered the second Mag-ellen!

[@Val_Benko]

Andy: everyone knows that dinosaurs evolved into humans Me: NNNAAGGGHHHH *convulses on floor*

[@lespaulpanhead025]

Andy’s laughter describes everything I think about this game. Well done Andy.

[@CaitlinRC]

I completely forgot it was Saturday until this video went up..

[@jonathanewing652]

I knew Sonic would end up like my other favorite childhood heroes.

[@preciousrogue1833]

So dinosaurs evolved into monkeys and then into humans - let me just update my biology revision notes, this is super helpful guys thanks

[@Jambobist]

Luke's going to get kicked out of palaeontology nerd club for letting that one slide.

[@MatthewAshworth]

Lol! I am glad someone else spotted that. I was mildly disappointed that Luke didn't object to that at all.

[@ceceliaacaba2739]

Funny I always thought that humans evolved from apes. Actually we evolved from early Homo species since all of them are dead when we die were dead for good.

[@MatthewAshworth]

Yes, but apes didn't evolve from dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are ancestors of birds and reptiles, whereas mammals evolved by a different line. Early mammals that existed at the time of dinosaurs were very small, nocturnal mostly, and rodent-like. They were like bottom of the food chain at the time. :P

[@ceceliaacaba2739]

Matthew Ashworth yeah I am rusty on my evolution

[@thenodgod1735]

When Andy went on to his 'Choose Your Own Adventure' part and said he studied Lukes CYOAs and believes to have found the right tone for it I had only one word in my mind: dysentery.

[@jammjar277y]

When luke and andy are dancing to streets of rage 2 it just reminds me of that scene from kick-ass when theyre dancing to crazy 😂😂

[@Daalington]

I always miss Ellen when she's out on space adventures. :(

[@TwitchWasHere]

SomeGuy Arrogance- Same. 😢

[@ceceliaacaba2739]

SomeGuy Arrogance same Ellen come back we miss your laughter! 😭

[@berr1e5ncrem35]

This is what I live for and all I want out of life: good people just being human and all the silliness and love that ensues. I'm envious that I don't get to experience that myself as much as I would like, but I'm grateful to experience it vicariously through all of you. Have fun at E3

[@X3._.n3]

4:37 It'll be you running from sniper Luigi if you keep shooting those poor animals

[@jojotheswede8444]

Andy nailed the choose-your-own-adventure 😂

[@zaqzilla1]

Three weeks later we find out Mike missed E3 b/c he was playing Vampyr the whole time.

[@ghostbiggie]

Who’s Michael Transactions?

[@Brasc]

Luke's phone sure gets good reception that far from Earth. What plan is he using?

[@Insanerobert44]

"I've got a choose-your-own-adventure game as the last round...." At his first choice, Luke dies of dysenteria.

[@DeludedOne]

What a blast from the past. So many games that I used to play being featured in the Sega Genesis classics!

[@nefarioussarah2920]

I love the idea that Ellen is just running around a park somewhere making “pew pew pew” Star Wars noises and waving a toy millenium falcon

[@paulgarrison3729]

"the Enormous Egg Exhibition" Well done, sir. Well done.

[@Will-el7gy]

I noticed the steel samurai ringtone at 0:57. Nice way to sneak Ace Attorney in Luke

[@TardisCoreST]

I'm starting to think the whole reason you created Choose-Your-Own-Adventure quizzes is that to legally share some of your beloved and might I add, beautifully written, fanfiction.

[@TheSneezingAnouki]

And the proud Oxtra tradition of guilty pleasure games continues

[@IndecisiveStoner]

Absolutely lost it at “speed is your God now” lmfaooooo

[@martinfrost4292]

Ladies and gentlemen I give you Luke Westaway: Hype man extraordinaire!

[@maxxcurtis4418]

That intro was probably the highest quality scene ever made on either channel. Props guys!

[@IronOreMC]

Loving that Steel Samurai ringtone!

[@Musikur]

Loved the Ace Attorney Steel Samurai reference!

[@naomil7830]

Finally the chance for the sofa to solo the show of the weekend! It's dream comes true at last!

[@Shade23]

I'm so happy you featured Ristar, I thought I was the only person who remembered that game.

[@ayushkataria9141]

Oh no, We lost Ellen to Solo and seems like we will lose Luke to Sonic next week as he tries to run up a loop in next week and just before E3 as well. I guess, Oxbox managed E3 on their own before Oxtra. Best of Luck guys.

[@Alizardwithdaftideas]

16 bit soundtracks are pretty remarkable thinking about it. They've retained their charm after all these years.

[@yastaav]

2:00- You'll have to edit that clip so the T-Rex makes a humming sound (the one Luke did in your June 2018 games video) instead of roaring!

[@leoric21]

YES OUTSIDE XTRA AND THE OUTSIDE XBOX FINALLY GIVE CREDIT TO THE TRUE STAR OF BOTH CHANNELS!! The sofa. at 33:21 (in my fanfic there is a 3rd sofa. It's yellow)

[@respectableaf9061]

I enjoyed watching Andy and Luke dancing! Can we please have a segment with them dancing to more retro gameing music..?

[@fionatje13]

Luke sounds like such a disappointed dad in the intro, when he calls Andy, who has lost his child to another Emo phase. I love it.

[@JKM395]

I wish I had a job where people made choose your own adventures for me. I just love you guys. Have fun at E3!

[@mattpomfrett6211]

Best end of video music EVER. Love a bit of retro nostalgia.

[@eliottdewitt893]

Ive watched this so many times, the quiz is the best quiz ever made

[@fluffybard8793]

Yes, this episode is so much better than the last one. Mostly because Andy. There's always room for more Andy

[@sufjams]

This was the funniest choose your own adventure ever

[@RayLumos]

Someone get Luke that giant T-Rex costume so that he can finally be what he loves so much. 🦖

[@dorkynanni6587]

I need my own Chris Pratt to stop me from making stupid decisions Or, apparently, any decision

[@gilian8130]

the golden axe theme exploded my nostalgia meter

[@jarmarmarn4323]

You capture a dinosaur by throwing your magic cap onto it, everyone knows that

[@jcdenton616]

That introduction was my favorite!

[@elnishiri]

1:01 I literally LOLed when I heard that ring tone. Good ol' Steel Samurai!

[@zeorhymer6]

I love it when Andy laughs.

[@xenie1982]

Omg, I've never laughed so much at a choose your own adventure and my crush on Andy is getting bigger.

[@elliottwatt5297]

I heard Ellen did the Kessel Run in less than 14 Parsecs...whatever that means.

[@kcollier2192]

10 actually...

[@JachAnen]

Rounded down

[@marhawkman303]

You know, now that I think about it... maybe the 14 Parsecs IS a distance, and the impressive feat is that he was able to use a route that short without getting caught. EDIT: I just looked it up... that's actually CANON. But the reason for it being a feat is that the specific route Han took would destroy most ships.

[@HandMadeSpider]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@leafandryly]

It's weirdly refreshing to see a game get, and let's put it charitably, mixed reviews on Show of the Weekend. I don't know why but hearing a game be disliked makes me smile.

[@zayzabster7159]

Just downloaded Streets of Rage 2 Go Straight and made it my ringtone. Thanks OX.

[@lovepooky]

That Steel Samurai ringtone is awesome :3

[@ts25679]

Love Andy trying to hold his s@#$ together =)

[@Drundt58]

I picture Luke walking around e3 with a tuckered out Ellen in a infant carrier and shes holding a stuffed chewy doll .....ART PEOPLE FAN ART THAT!

[@danielwoo1591]

“Chris Pratt was much more charming in Parks and Rec.” 100% AGREED.

[@cameronparkfilms]

probs the coolest intro thus far

[@mikedidvlogs8665]

I was really hoping for a game of Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker at the start there but maybe next time

[@marhawkman303]

Ellen plays to win. She'd probably be turning out to wear a massive collection of handkerchiefs instead of an undershirt. thus she has twice(or more) as many chips.

[@nashdiy8570]

Its very impressive how high quality the show has become.

[@rrparker12]

They got your letters! I love that Andy can't even pretend to take this seriously.

[@alexkaen1701]

Sonic has learned what all Speedsters must know, never run too close to the Speed Force.

[@Shade23]

You all should do a video series where you dance to video game music for 30 minutes at a time. That's your money maker

[@lespaulpanhead025]

Me: Luke is doing really well at this adventure. He hasn’t lost any of his three lives. 25:00 Me: Well that happened.

[@TheDrFunkenstein]

In one review of a mobile dino sim, you guys boiled it down to the bare essence of playing video games. "Well seems like your having fun." "I am!"

[@alakurielle]

I love how Luke specifically calls them "Jurassic Park dinosaurs" because they aren't scientifically accurate dinosaurs anymore. XD

[@Geobrickinabox]

I don't really know why. But I've watched this episode 10 times this week
