STREAM STARTS AT 6:10 - Luke is joined by Jane and Andy for Totally Accurate Battle Simulator! Expect plenty of ragdoll nonsense and a grand hobbit battle royale (Note: at 1:25:43 we experienced a power cut mid-stream, hence the interruption)

[@puddle7261]

Thanks for making me happy with my broken leg

[@kallasantysanty6092]

Cool livestream i hope you all can stay cool in this heat :) ... for the rest of my cool thoughts look at the other comment (has to be somewhere around) ... it is to hot ... cannot write ... or think anymore ...

[@andymcp4752]

Unit name: scarecrows Styled to look like: scarecrows Weapon of choice: scary-crows Luke/Jane/Andy : *"boy how do we beat these crowmen?"*

[@jasonsorin1021]

It's a bird! It's a man dressed like one!

[@devlinburgess2463]

I love how, the more Luke plays TABS, the more he starts to sound like a comic book villain. "Hit him you fools!"

[@paulaarmitage4946]

KILL THE HOBBIT!

[@jasonsorin1021]

No, he sounds like that one goon in Arkham, who thinks "hit him!" is reasonable when talking about Batman, and keeps yelling threats until the final blow.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

"As you know, the hobbits are expendable."

[@dallydaydream]

"All an angel is is a human that'll go for your pastie." Having watched apocalyptic documentary Good Omens, yep, that about lines up.

[@bobsquirrelking]

55:25, that tiny hobbit had me laughing uncontrollably for a good 30 seconds. That was absolutely wonderful.

[@shasshybear9222]

Luke: "Jane always sounds good" This man speaks the truth!

[@gavdothie669]

Guys, Warlocks and Bards can choose one spell they already know and swap it for a different spell of an appropriate level on a level up, if you want to change out any duds

[@coreydunkin8166]

I love how surprised Luke was at 32:20 when he got hit by his own balistas. Who could possibly have seen that coming?

[@shasshybear9222]

Jane: "They're going to rip him to shreds!" Prof. Farsnworth: "To shreds you say!"

[@calebnannie1822]

Jane, as a warlock, Prudence has the ability to change what spells you know when you level up.

[@TobiTheHuman]

The Mace Window... luke, you brilliant brilliant man

[@frodobaggins7710]

Hobbits always have a trick up their sleeve. Sometimes that trick is to just lie down and do nothing

[@jasonsorin1021]

What do I have in my pocket? Hopefully a hand grenade

[@rpgeezlouise4600]

Touché Frodo.

[@thoruktor8005]

Sneaky little hobbitses, wicked, tricksy, false.

[@nickjeffery536]

Jane - "I have a 30 year old fan that is very loud, and just sort of lightly moves the air around" I'm flattered, Jane - I'm actually 44...

[@swanson2830]

Glad to see you guys were able to restore for the end bit! Always good to have the streams as background sound while I work on projects!

[@MrUkraider]

Always love these streams, always guarantees absolute nonsense that makes no sense, but is so great and addictive, please keep these coming in the future.

[@KevinOrzel]

at 54:20, you can actually see Luke's little tiny ant-sized halfling running and leaping into the fight, even though they're only about one pixel tall.

[@johnsharplin]

Luke, you orchestrated a perfect L-shaped ambush around 35:30, which is an actual well-known infantry tactic used the world over. Do you have anything you would like to tell us? Perhaps a heretofore unacknowledged SAS background?

[@jarrakul]

Just a comment on the D&D character stuff: the thing about spellcasters is that you can use the same 2-4 different spells in 90% of combat situations. That means the rest of your spell selections will usually be most useful if you spend them a) on spells that have good utility out of combat, or b) on combat spells that are specifically good in the situations where your go-to combat spells are bad (for example, dealing a different type of damage).

[@kdisley]

1:20:52 That facial expression on the Harvester... "KILL THE BONE MAGE!!! KILL THE BO-- Hang on, have I left the gas on...?"

[@CaporegimeMarcus]

30:50 "You crafty Hobbit!" Favorite part of the stream XD

[@jasonsorin1021]

Tricksy hobbits, yes my precious...

[@detonation2969]

22:48 where Luke laughs silently by himself. Don’t worry I laughed with you.

[@chancecam9397]

"Oh God everyone died while I wasn't looking!" Luke would be the worst boss of a company.

[@hanues]

Have you already forgotten the orphans

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

The worst boss? The best boss surely, at least he doesn't micromanage.

[@TheSNL1988]

Ellen is so nice they need BOTH Andy and Jane to replace her niceness with... ehm... not-niceness...

[@BadLuckBrody]

Santiago Lorenzatto Ellen, a host so nice, they replaced her twice!

[@Grant-TR]

Oxventure on tour!! You could have your very own legally distinct party bus, ahhhhhh!

[@bethgood5739]

Just wanted to say Luke you are completely correct, everything offers you some hydration it's just that water offers you the best hydration. How else would people have survived when water was literally killing us?

[@k8darkener597]

Can't believe I missed this live, but totally worth the watch. Get well soon Ellen! Would watch a RDR2 top 5 by Andy. Luke talking with his mouth full is such a Dob move. (Love it.)

[@johnoneil9188]

The true miracle is how Luke´s PC managed to not just catch fire.

[@seanrshivers]

Luke: Crown of madness is just a representation of prudence's influence on Dob! Alternatively, you can change it out whenever you level up.

[@plazinga]

As a michigander I can tell you that every single building has ac and that’s the only way we survive mild heat

[@jacobfarley434]

Same, especially with our lovely humidity

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Luke's Ballista's vs Blue Hobbit. The greatest battle ever. EDIT: Thank you for the compliment to my country, Andy. :D

[@furryninjas1235]

What is your country of origin?

[@Gandalor75]

When Luke said "peace and love" I had a realization that he is tall enough and has the approximate build for a pretty good Vash from Trigun. ... This is mostly because I hear peace and love in the same sentence and I automatically go to Trigun. ... "LOVE AND PEACE!!!!"

[@Icam_here]

Always love a TABS livestream. death to all the hobbits Edit: Mace window best pun

[@oynque8965]

17:56 That poor bear got killed twice.

[@alexandersmit4256]

I'm fairly sure both Prudence and Dob can switch out spells at level 4 or 5. Also, Luke is right about fluids. Unless a drink makes you projectile vomit, or gives you some similarly dehydrating affliction, it is unlikely to dehydrate you more than not drinking. Stuff like alcohol does tend to dehydrate you over a fairly long period, so you can get hit after you've stopped worrying about fluid intake. I still wouldn't recommend hydrating exclusively with coffee, soda, alcohol and such. Finally, Half-Orcs in DnD tend to live short lives, expiring after about 62-80 years, compared to 72-110 for humans, 250-450 for Dwarves and 350-750 for elves, with Tieflings and Dragonborn aging roughly like humans.

[@jafaral-z1090]

the sweet jazz relaxed me more than anything else in the world

[@voltzoen6262]

20:17 Luke - "Poor Bilbo, Nothing left of the brain" He is already dead!! Stop brutally burning the poor dead halfling.

[@nickburkhardt3229]

Starts 6:10

[@soulsearcher9620]

lifesaver

[@savannadearing3020]

You beautiful flamingo

[@TransGuyShane]

"I'll talk while lukes mouth is full of jammidodger" I'm laughing way to hard

[@ladyicondraco]

I now want to see Andy try to convince an NPC that his Human is actually a Half Orc Bard.

[@SmoothDonatello1138]

Andy's golf commentator voice is gold! That dude needs to be a voice actor like right now!

[@lil_unhinged_7349]

*someone finally says red vs blue* *blood gulch blues plays faintly in the distance*

[@deadlynark9638]

It's red versus red and blue versus blue

[@Mini_Squatch]

The bards actually draw aggro of enemies. Useful for carting enemies

[@Kamtzal]

I've tried other channels for things but y'all really are ways ahead. From Dallas and never caught anything live but love y'alls commentary

[@DeadmanWL]

Luke!! Mario Sunshine is a great Mario game, its like an updated Mario 64, open world, hidden area's & stars, Yoshi's can change colors...perfect game.

[@OneEyedRyu]

They are really under appreciating how much of a difference the cheerleader can make.

[@rangerecho]

in D&D you can change your known spells for others you don't know every time you level up, so you can change those spells you don't like or never use for better ones!

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

Ah yes, that dangerous hot summer, where I came back from California where it had been 40 degrees Celsius and everyone was carrying on as normal, to find myself being handed a free bottle of water by the train company, and reading all the heatstroke warnings, while it was only 30 degrees Celsius and I was feeling quite chilly and wondering if I needed a jumper. lol

[@SyncSeiryuu]

Never drink salt water. It's better to not drink anything, than it would be to drink salt water. Anything with a high salt or sugar content will make you more dehydrate, and anything with a lot of caffeine is also bad, because it's a diuretic and will make you loose fluids faster. Also, Luke was right when he said alcohol is dehydrating, it's the leading cause of hungover headaches; drink lots of water along side your alcohol to avoid this.

[@KizuRai]

I feel like Ellen would've lost it with Luke at the googly-eyed harvester.

[@lucylil2374]

Luke is like look at his expression and laughing his ass of, and Jane and Andy r such grown ups 🤣

[@973daydreamer]

To help with your dnd regrets, in general, every time you level up you are allowed to swap out one of your known spells for something else.

[@eleanorsmith7152]

Every time I hear you guys reference Scribblenauts 5 years are added to my life. I’m pretty sure it would work with any 5th Cell game, but if you mentioned Drawn to Life (which is to me what Kingdoms of Amalur is to Ellen) I think I might become immortal.

[@TransGuyShane]

I have been staying with my sisters family while I've been homeless so I've seen my nearly 2year old niece do some funny stuff. I moved into my new place on Tuesday and today got a video sent from my sister, to cool down my niece climbed into the turned on shower in just her pants with an ice lolly and just stood there. She was meant to be in bed :')

[@fairyringdancer1234]

You got me through my unemployment too and now through my employment.

[@patdo777]

This! is! ACCURATE!!!! *kicks hobbit down well*

[@finchhawthorne1302]

Sad to hear there won’t be a showdown this year, really enjoyed those.

[@moeyobro]

Andy's epic book of Mormon singing is epic

[@ladyicondraco]

Claude is totally either a Hufflepuff or Slytherin. He is clever, but more importantly, he is completely accepting of everyone, which is Hufflepuff.

[@SmoothDonatello1138]

John gets endless praise for being a Star Wars prequel supporter

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

The Hobbit brutality was amazingly terrifying.

[@andrewbauckham5348]

Set Hobbits to farm, they farm. Set Hobbits to fish, they fish. They will live, laugh and love. Set Hobbits to war. That is the end of all things.

[@imringolovemee]

Take a tank top and completely drench it in the sink and then put it on before going to sleep. Completely cools you down (if you have a fan trained on you even better)!

[@TheGlideIsHere]

"This is how Neil Armstrong must have felt when he watched all those hobbits fight." Hey, getting to the moon takes a *lot* of kinetic energy, and I can't think of a better way to harvest it than a roiling mass of hobbits.

[@dinosour2140]

We finally know the victor to the age old battle: Pokémon red vs Pokémon blue!

[@tinkledeath9185]

I love horseback riding! I used to take weekly lessons and whatnot, but had to stop after a permanent injury :(

[@xaldin292]

Morgan mondays would be awesome. I would like to see at least one pick from Jane. Following a side story arc all the way through would make great pacing

[@Pbmarron]

Oxventure stage tour? YES PLEASE!

[@mistformsquirrel]

Get well soon Ellen! I'm unfortunately quite familiar with surgery recovery and wish you all the best!

[@Niribu]

I literally just left London , has it not rained yet??

[@jordanjohns8278]

1:31:38 I feel like this should be an intro to a Bond movie

[@Perri-Winkle]

SKYFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL

[@bigsushidude]

mace window..... best starwars pun EVER!

[@MulletSensei]

Was anyone else humming the Skyfall theme watching all those hobbits plunge into the water?

[@weiss9748]

As they're talking about how hot it was in London, my AC stops working.....IN TEXAS!

[@SpydersByte]

Jane on the D&D characters' ages: "I bet we could work it out" ...you think? I mean, I don't think I need to remind you but these are *your* characters guys, you could've just... you know... picked an age.

[@sevensins3584]

48:12 "he managed to get his birds out"

[@djprojugs6606]

trying to find the tiny hobbit by playing at 0.25 speed and omg jane is possessed at 54:38. Protip: Just figured out if you use the 10 sec rewind/fast forward with slower/faster speeds it actually skips 10 real life seconds and not 10 seconds of video. EX. at 0.5 speed it only rewinds or skips 5 seconds of video.

[@SmoothDonatello1138]

There's never such a thing as too much GTA Online content of any kind. More of that is always great!

[@kimberleestiens]

Here's a vote for Morgan Mondays!!!! And like Luke, I want some DLC where you get to play as the lion 🦁

[@codmanout9861]

Wow, a rather literal interpretation of a murder of crows, huh? As ridiculous as this will sound given the nature of this game, the one thing I wish they had gotten right in this game, is that the arrows fired by the hwacha (cart thing that fires loads of arrows) are supposed to EXPLODE!!! True fact, check out the Mythbusters episode on them. Also, just gotta say, intentional or not, a lot of Rooster Teeth references this stream, huh?

[@jrgenstrandheim922]

Greetings from Norway. I live in bergen and its been 34 Celsius, and because its norway air condition is not a thing...I work in a shop thats makes ice cream, and that might sound nice, but because of all the equipment its been 37 degrees inside and everything (including staff) is struggling...thumbs up for minimum wage

[@jrgenstrandheim922]

But thanks for entertaining me after a long day :)

[@iusethisplatform]

40:00 not necessarily x___X stuff like beer and soda does not give you much of any hydration and will basically dehydrate you a ton because of how much water your kidneys and liver have to use

[@kstephenson5857]

....The weekly forecast for London says that the average temp for the week was roughly 73 degrees Fahrenheit; it's been averaging ~95 degrees F (35 deg. C) here in Idaho and that's pretty low compared to the last few years. I will swap you climates any day

[@nymalous3428]

All the best to everyone there! (To Ellen, for recovery, and everyone else, for missing her.)

[@aerongray2228]

i have no idea why, but yes soda is not very hydrating D: water, sports drinks and food with high water content (eg melons and stuff) are the best

[@kcollier2192]

Amazing how it takes two taller people to fill in for one a bit shorter than the others- must mean the less taller person is pretty special :) Get well soon Ellen...

[@canadiandee6342]

I missed the live stream, but if you want a yummy frozen drink, try a Bailey’s Banana Colada

[@Victorina]

Definitely down for Morgan Mondays!

[@scorpix96]

I'd rather have a litteral angel than an angel littering...

[@Toonvailo]

Lol one pandemic later and we've nearly played through all of Morgan Mondays 😅

[@m.edwardmcnally6802]

I'm in Phoenix, it was hot as hell yesterday. Though cooler than London. (sympathies)

[@silver3462]

Yes Morgan Mondays.. also I read recently that they do plan on an undead nightmare but with aliens for rdr2

[@alabastergiant]

I always forget that there isn't really any strategy to TABS. I kept telling my screen thar they should make a phalanx.

[@MinnaMe01]

So jammy dodgers are like Ballerina? (Swedish double cookie with jam in between)

[@TheGuardingDark]

Is the Chicken Man Man still in the game? It's the single best unit in any game, ever. Ever.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

no

[@jacobfarley434]

Jane ASMR? Don't threaten me with a good time

[@Random_Axelotl]

30.53 Hobbit: This is fine

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Bards aren't useless if you know how to use them to kite enemy units.

[@robertmccormick3100]

that face when you call Jane good looking. lol.

[@chieng9512]

1:01:15 Ah yess, Morgan Mondays are here :D

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Jane looks kind of miserable and sad to be there... Tired, Jane? All the best for Ellen!😥 Hope you recover well, and soon, so you can come back to us, your lovely, loving fans!😊❤
