Janes “ahhhh what a great story!” On logan paul getting scammed out of 3.5mill is superb 2022 energy lmao

[@missoula2213]

G.I. JOEkemon..

[@toymachine2328]

I don't want to celebrate a scammer, but I also don't feel too bad for Logan Paul. A. He had 3.5 million dollars to spend on Pokemon cards in the first place, & B. He probably made that back in no time with related content & publicity. C. He was fully refunded

[@burrito4332]

Jane Douglas, hero of the revolution

[@kirbymerby]

Bad thing thing happened to bad person. 🤷

[@weneedaladder8384]

@@toymachine2328 I mean, he's also just a bad guy. Or at least he was when he did that whole trip to Japan thing. Maybe he's a better guy now, I dunno, but this could also just be very delayed karma for profiting off of someone's death.

[@GOgg13s]

How could no games have come out? I thought GAMES ARE BACK!

[@missoula2213]

They never played High On Life.

[@teafling]

Lasagne Party has clearly wiped the knowledge of all 2022 games except Elden Ring from their collective memory 😂

[@weneedaladder8384]

Well the only game that's back is a grueling slog through 40,000 rats, so it's understandable they don't really count it.

[@carlsiouxfalls]

Games kinda came back, but nothing really top tier, AAA for Xbox exclusives.

[@GOgg13s]

@@weneedaladder8384 those rat physics are fantastic though

[@johnsharplin]

The entire second round felt a bit like Andy interrogating Mike and Jane on why they didn't make more time to play Elden Ring this year

[@marhawkman303]

that's what i was thinking. :D

[@WastedPo]

They both looked kind of sheepish too (It's a good thing neither actually picked Elden Ring as their GOTY, or else it would've been genuinely awkward.)

[@strictly1becca]

"Kirby: The Shattered Mind" got a full-fledged cackle from me.

[@Ovetupp]

I like how most oxboxtra competitions are subjective and fun while the new years quiz is just cold hard facts. I love it!

[@thalandor46]

How DARE you announce a draw in an OX competition, and not resolve the tie by having Mike and Jane draw a Pikachu!

[@bustinarant]

They only have that Pikachu licensing deal once a year. No expenses spared for the arts.

[@PersephonePlasmids]

Literally, as Mike asked why kids would like Kirby when he's so terrifying, my 4-year-old said, "Ooooo, what's that? He's so cute!" So there's your answer.

[@Dan-zc3ou]

As an italian i'm really proud of Tifa becoming an unforgettable part of out history

[@VTimmoni]

I love how strawman FIFA coder Jeff had the same voice as Chauncey from Oxventure.

Jane casually dropping a reference to Ian’s highly underrated Elden Wrong playlist 😂

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

That Elden Ring quiz was pretty funny lol, it worked out since neither of the contestants fully beat the game

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

Weird considering mike and jane are both avid trve kvlt black metal afficionados 😂😂

[@MrMBinder]

What a delight. I still have a hard time accepting that it's already been a year. Best wishes for 2023, everyone!

[@patdo777]

I loved the metal band / fromstoft boss quizz, has a lot of potential for sequals

[@marhawkman303]

Also since most of them are late game a lot of people who genuinely played Elden Ring... never actually got that far.

[@theisaacpigg27_32]

There's a video where Luke quizzes Ellen on World of Warcraft name or Metal Band. I can't remember the exact video though

[@azureskyblade1106]

@@theisaacpigg27_32 Yeah, the real name of this type of quiz is just "Fantasy Name or Metal Band". Soulsborne naming conventions are just as fantasy as everything else in the genre really.

[@MrGhostTheBigRoast]

why restrict yourself to bosses, from has location names like THE CRUMBLING FARAM AZULA, GRAVEYARD OF THE DARKBEAST, also killer band names.

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

The brief Chauncey cameo about 9:35 and the concurrent laugh from behind the camera just made my day:D

[@dallydaydream]

I spent a good couple minutes of the "Elden Ring or Black Metal" round wondering if Andy might have pulled an Ellen and just used all Elden Ring bosses, but thankfully he is more merciful than that ; ) Interesting questions from Andy and entertaining answers from Jane and Mike, thank you all for doing this every year, it's a lovely tradition

[@TessaOswin]

I kept waiting for the one where is was both a black metal band and a Elden ring boss. I’m sure there must be one in the 100s of bosses. If not in Elden ring then one of the soulsborns.

[@BogeyTheBear]

Then there will soon be the inevitable rise of black metal bands who were named after Elden Ring bosses.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Someone should tell Wolves in the Throne Room that they used the Emo band name generator instead of the Black Metal band name generator by mistake.

[@M_M_ODonnell]

If I were to start an extreme metal band, I'd want it to be named something like "Calendula" or "Leaves on the Autumn Breeze." On the flipside, "Autopancreatectomy" or "The Quivering Entrails of Eviscerated Gods" would be my jazz band.

[@LateSleeper]

If I was to nsme a black metal band from an Elden Ring boss, it'll be "Wormface"

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

And my pop band would be called "filter"

[@sgtraytango]

@@rasmusn.e.m1064 And maybe have upbeat covers of Filter songs such as "Hey Man, Nice Shot", presumably

[@lisah-p8474]

There's a death metal band called "Party Cannon" whose logo looks like clown balloons. I've always found it amusing.

[@frodobaggins7710]

9:30 Surprise appearance from Chauncey! Good to see he's gotten into game development

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

“The other two were hard to get ahold of, one of them is because they’re dead” the way I laughed will see me on the first train to hell 😂

[@the-thhorseman2484]

I think GRRM's only contribution was to make sure every major character had a name that started with G,R, or M. basically a troll job.

[@MrIcePho3nix]

Well, that and making sure every NPC questline he could get his hands on was SOMEHOW more bleak than FS's usual fare.

[@Kris-wo4pj]

that and the twin incest and the dungeater

[@willyum3920]

There was a twenty twenty TWO? So much love and thanks to Oxbox and the community for another brilliant year. We are very grateful for all your hard work especially this year - the year when games were back.

[@TaishoCh]

Not the infamous Tifa senate hearing 😭

[@rajabuta]

can't believe they didn't know that xD

[@TessaOswin]

The fact they didn’t immediately go to porn or similar adult material, probably shows more about me than them. I 90% sure it where Ellen’s brain would have gone.

[@ArkaneStephanie]

Ooo, a sneaky Chancy cameo. I wasn't expecting that

[@lavaita9709]

And a reveal that his first name is Jeff or Geoff.

[@aboredguywithaninternetcon4663]

It is Andy's actual voice

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

It was almost as unexpected as the Chauncey cameo.

[@o.k.productions5202]

Was not expecting Chauncey to make an appearance.

[@azureskyblade1106]

Mike says he sucks when it comes to music, but the way he was able to deduce the correct genre and relative time period to come to Pokemon was really on point. I say relative time period because the SV battle theme is basically a remixed remix of the remix of the remix ad nauseum of the original battle them.

[@asherandai2633]

That explains how I recognised it when I've only played the original Red & Blue.

[@leopardstarleader]

I haven't had the chance to play any of the pokemon games that came out this year but I still immediately recognized the first song as being the generic battle theme for scarlet and violet just due to the music callbacks to older pokemon battle themes inside it.

[@asherandai2633]

I haven't played a pokemon game since Red & Blue and still immediately knew it was pokemon, and therefore must be the new ones scarlett & violet.

[@kstephenson5857]

Mike: "Because all of us have stereotypes ingrained within us..." Andy: "Where is this going?" Just a typical OXBOX convo, to be honest

[@samwill7259]

I forgot the Paul brothers were even a thing in the year 2022 Here's hoping they cease being a thing in 2023

Jane: "I don't like Ghostbusters that much" Wow. She truly is a villain.

[@amelia1411]

You guys put out so many videos at the end of the year! They never cease to make me laugh thank you all for all the work you do!

[@toymachine2328]

IIRC, Logan Paul got the sealed packs authenticated (I just looked it up, it was authenticated by BBCE) and he traveled to their headquarters to open the boxes up. D'oh! That would be an intersting meeting afterward. "It seems prudent at this point to review our grading and authentication processes." BBCE CEO, probably.

[@toymachine2328]

Oh and it turns out he was fully refunded by the dealer who sold him the cards, who was in turn refunded by their source, and so on down the line. As they would've done if they'd passed bad product to any one of us, right? ; )

Just me screaming SPARKS OF HOPE at my screen at 4am then? 🤣 (Genuinely Mario + Rabbids is a great series.)

[@ryke_masters]

I haven't played a Pokemon game in like three years and I immediately got the obvious Pokemon vibe in the first music section question. I have never seen anyone who's played a Pokemon game take so long to recognize a Pokemon battle theme. I mean, great video! It is cool and good! But seriously. I know the channel isn't named Outside Switch or something, but that was a little surprising.

[@mattball8622]

I remember the first time I heard the band name 'Wolves in the Throne Room' thinking that was a pretty great band name. After watching Mike's reaction I think you can definitely say that inside of all of us, there are two wolves (one of which is annoying a member of the royalty)

[@CaitlinRC]

2022? BEGONE! 2023? probably also begone because the last few years have all been a wee bit shit :P

[@Cinetyk]

All outisdebox xbox and outside extra have been truly great for so many years. Truly, they all are so witty and fun, yet still informative in all the videos - it's a lost cause for me pursuing to be more critical. Jane, of course, it's witchcraft-induced (no other explanation, really) still the same young and beautiful yet wickedly witty , but again I keep getting reminded that Ellen and Luke are my true speed and so charming as to melt my heart every time - the same way it's always been. Yep and Andy is a constant and Mike to me is like - obvious and cosy - and if he ever leaves I'll lose it and start NUCLEAR MELTDOWN. ;P
