Ellen's off sick this week, so Andy steps in for a super-surreal Kingdom Hearts 3 Remind quiz. Plus Doom Eternal, your comments, artwork and more. Enjoy, and have lovely weekends -OX

Luke refusing to write the quiz after that incredible speech: Top 10 biggest anime betrayals

Oh my god it's the studio. The illusion has been shattered. They do not live in a white void!

"Ha cha cha, ladies night! Where ladies get everything they want and what they want is to adore me" Are we sure that isn't popular oxventure character Corazon's catchphrase?

I like how Mike can't be bother to say Hi. Just another day of Luke going through everything in the office for no reason

We're finally getting that behind the scenes look at OX towers that we've been clamoring for!

Merilwyn, O Merilwyn The brave Elven Heroine Who’s heart you will see Is pure as can be Meriwyn, O Merilwyn Her adventures are told within With Johnny and Me and the other three And Egbert

My favourite part about the bit where Luke and Andy insinuated that Todd Howard was fae is the fact that I didn’t at all question it. “That sounds like Todd Howard to me, game developers are just eccentric especially Todd Howard” I had thought. But no, it was all a bit.

"There are going to be some pyrotechnic effects. They cannot hurt you." Looks like the doom eternal people know how to have a good time XD

Luke deliberately wearing his Super Mario Sunshine (which is a great game btw) shirt in Andy's presence delights me.

Wait, so you're telling me those videos are not filmed in an infinite white void with a sofa in it? That's outrageous

“It’s Buttons McGroin.” Luke, i think you have your brand name for that new line of chastity belts. I’ll call the patent office immediately.

"You know what you usually find in a ribcage, is a heart! And what else has hearts in?" At this point, I expected Luke to bring up heart containers in Legend of Zelda, and Link is Doom Guy, it's all connected! We've come full circle! [cut to test pattern]

wait, there is more then just a couch to their place. look at all this extra room they have

"He was eventually usurped by Goofy" is a line that radiates this truly sinister quality

as a german it was very weird to see these characters called obscure... cause most of them are primary characters in the comics we have here (and i think in italy too?) and were an integral part of my childhood :D

Doom Guy's version of stealth: Doom Guy: "You don't see me." Guard: "I don't see you." Turns around and walks away.

It’s definitely “re: my mind ‘I’ve lost it trying to understand KH’”. It’s the full Kingdom Hearts experience.

Woah, impromptu behind the scenes studio tour!

OHHH MYYY GODDDD FINALLY SEEING THE OX OFFICES....finally understanding more of the lore of Oxbox/Oxtra 😍

How I know I read A LOT of Dondald Duck comics as a child: "Wait, what do you MEAN that these are OBSCURE characters?!" Well, except for that mouse dude and Oswald and his girlfriend. They didn't show up in the comics I read, so ofc I didn't know them, lol

27:17 "Oh, where are you off to? I'm going to be singing to animals." Link: "Oh, I'd love to, but I have to stand here on this demon-possessing platform and wait for a delivery. From Steve..."

Luke: **refuses to write Disney quiz** Also Luke: "It's master mode"

"I asked you to do something and you just passed out." We've discovered the best way to avoid work

Fun fact; when coming up with a name for what became Mickey Mouse, Walt was going to call the character Mortimer but his wife had him change it

I have to admit to being slightly surprised to see that you have two studios. I always assumed you only had one and that the purple sofa was just the green sofa with a purple cover thrown over it.

Nice to see Link trying some new avenues - like exploring hell and fighting demons

Luke: "I refuse to make a Kingdom Hearts quiz, that seems difficult and silly. I mean, there's so much obscure nonsense I would have to look up or know." Also Luke: "Ooooh BOY I can't wait to make Ellen go through this Dragon Ball Z quiz! And it'll be so fun to see her not get things right."

27:29: If you listen carefully, you can hear Jon's reaction to Andy's "I think Link can do better" comment.

17:34 A wild Mike appears!

Can't stop seeing the teeny-tiny black dot behind Luke. Kept trying to clean my screen.

We may never know if androids dream of electric sheep, but we do know that Luke dreams of setting fire to the studio. Hopefully that dream doesn't become a reality

After Ortensia the cat I have an idea for a new quiz. Obscure Disney Character or Obscure Sonic character.

"They're starting to run short on Disney characters, so I found some obscure ones from Disney's animation history" (immediately shows Horace Horsecollar, who is in fact already in Kingdom Hearts) Also, I wanna know what kind of cows Luke's been looking at..... Edit: Actually I think Clarabelle is in KH too? Timeless River and Disney Town both had older Disney characters of that era in them.

It confuses me at first when the guys didn’t recognize Gus or Grandma and then I realized that Donald Duck is clearly not as big deal in England than it is here.

I feel like Andy was watching a lot of “Taskmaster” when he came up with the photograph task for Luke.

Andy: Trying to imagine Doomguy doing stealth. Mike: Hold my beer.

That 3D rendition artwork of Merilwen is stunning.

Producer John is quickly becoming my favorite disembodied voice of all time

20:30 I'm actually kind of sad that that photo was all a dream in-lore though? Like, Luke just wanted to create something powerful, and he was so proud to present it and get Andy's approval/first prize for it, and it brought together many pieces of Oxtra lore and Andy got quite a kick out of it too? But it turns out none of it even happened 😢 ....Probably a good job that Luke didn't actually set the studio on fire, though, and only dreamt about it- wait.

"You know what you usually find in a rib cage?" Squishy bits?

Luke: There is something a bit... cerebral is putting it a bit too... Andy: I mean there are a lot of brains flying around. Oh my god, I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. You guys are the best.

I swear Andy gets like 10 times more hyper when with Luke. It is adorable when they do the show together

Knowing the Oxboxtra Community Prudence the Dragon Man fanart will be dropping every second now. Not sure whether to be excited or afraid.

I like how Mike didn’t even flinch when Luke came running into the office grabbing random stuff and talking to himself like it’s an everyday occurrence.

Luke: "Let's segway this. From pulling out ribcages to - take it, Andy -" Andy: 7:51

I love it when these 2 get together. Andy and Luke are the funniest people on these channels IMHO.

"Take it, Andy" has exactly the same vibe as "Tell 'em, Caleb" from that RDRDnD roleplay. Luke you troll :P

Best wishes Ellen and Luke failed in his chance to have Andy get Ellen-ed in a quiz. For shame Luke- Ellen (and us too) expected more of you. As punishment, no Eternal Doom Guy Link for you for a week... BTW, love the Closet of Misfit Creations

Andy: Here are some obscure Disney characters Me, a Norwegian, grown up on Donald Duck comics: most of these are my beloved childhood characters

22:02 Andy says “Cut his mic, John” with the same tone as Stefan Karl Stefansson says “WOUld YoU lIkE TO?”

The Chair is just left out like that? It should be behind bulletproof glass and a velvet rope!

Oh, she's sick. That epic speech had me thinking Ellen had cracked the code of having a day off and getting away with it too.

I love how everyone gets along so well together at OX! They all seem to genuinely enjoy each other all the time and I think that's such a special group of people that we should all be happy to have in our lives. Thanks to you all!

Flawless segue from Doom Eternal to Kingdom Hearts 💜

Ellen's speech. I'm speechless. Still, you could have done it, Luke. Your heart is your guiding key, after all. Edit: Curse you Andy for sticking "The Room Where It Happens" in my head! I just got "You'll Be Back" out! My head is a neverending Hamilton jukebox playing at random.

Damn, what a smooth segway Andy! Get well soon Ellen!

Yay, we've finally peaked behind the scenes. 😃😁

27:56 And suddenly, Johnny knew who would be the villain of the next Oxventure...

I genuinely love that Andy is always a little bit sillier when he guests on xtra.

OxTowers is a lot bigger than I expected. I always imagined it being like 3 rooms or something.

Remember the joke about what would happen if you left a Bard and a Rogue out on their own? This show would happen. This and the Road to El Dorado.

Luke pulled the 'Tell 'em Caleb' move on Andy. Devious.

I am so shook at seeing the offices behind the cameras, I feel both privileged and honoured, and like I’ve just seen a very naughty thing. Please show more.

Andy's face, looking at the camera, as Luke calls Horace the horse a cow... I feel that quiet blank faced exacerbation in my soul.

A Merilwen game? That would just be another KoA, wouldn't it?

The fire’s not from Mike’s desk? I’ve always pictured Mike’s workspace as perpetually on fire.

Did anyone else see that story about scientists recreating the voice box of an ancient Egyptian mummy so he could say 'MEH'? Did anyone else immediately hear that sound again when they saw poor desiccated Link laying there?

Grandma Duck - That time Donald went full Norman Bates...is THAT what happened to all those characters?!?

With that ribcage out of the way, it's time for Kingdom Hearts!

Doom Guy "stealthing" behind a wall: *CLANK* *CLANK* ... *CLANK* Revenant Steve, whispering to his revenant friends: Okay... just pretend we haven't seen him and we might all get out of this one aliv- well, undead, I guess?

Sounds like Dob and Corazon got sent on a mini Oxventure quest by Todd Howard in my opinion

There are definitely enough characters who've expressed an interest in Link in some way or another (anywhere from a single flirty line to a full date) to just use his love interests for Manbo's Mambo Number 5: * Princess Zelda (Hylian; Most games) * Marin (Hylian; Link's Awakening) * Crazy Tracy (Hylian; Link's Awakening) * Malon (Hylian; Ocarina of Time) * Princess Ruto (Zora; Ocarina or Time) * Nabooru (Gerudo; Ocarina of Time) * The Great Maku Tree (Enormous Talking Tree; Oracle of Ages) * Rosa (Subrosian; Oracle of Ages) * Princess Mipha (Zora; Breath of the Wild) * Cotera (Great Fairy; Breath of the Wild) * Kaysa (Great Fairy; Breath of the Wild) * Mija (Great Fairy; Breath of the Wild) * Tera (Great Fairy; Breath of the Wild) * Rola (Sheikah; Breath of the Wild) * Paya (Sheikah; Breath of the Wild) * Ilia (Hylian; Twilight Princess) * Princess Midna (Twili; Twilight Princess) * Tetra (Hylian; Wind Waker) * Lulu (Zora; Majora's Mask) * Deku Princess (Deku Scrub; Majora's Mask) * Treasure Chest Shop Gal (Hylian; Majora's Mask) * Probably more that I'm forgetting right now... Note: "Hylian" is referring to the hylian race, not the Hylian nationality. (Many of these Hylians don't live in Hyrule, and they're certainly not humans with their pointy ears, and they're never called elves.)

I would be interested in watching an Oxventure where a witch swaps Prudence's body with Egbert's and she actually becomes "Prudence the Dragonman"!!

I didn't do too badly on the obscure characters quiz. I thought Mortimer was called "Montgomery" for some reason, and I didn't recognise Gus, Hortensia or Clara though, but I got the rest.

The best part of the obscure Disney character quiz is that both Horace Horsecollar, Clarabelle Cow, and Clara Cluck have appeared in Kingdom Hearts, in KH2’s world Timeless River based on Steamboat Willie and other early cartoons!

That 3D render of Merilwen is so great! This must have taken days to make and it's a good piece to add to a portfolio!

A couple things about this video are especially funny to me. 1: they keep all their past crafts and 2: they have a tub of plush video game characters. They really keep up with their branding

Is it just me that thinks Andy's impression of Grandma Duck kind of sounds like his impression of Senu from AC

That intro needed a "Luke, I am your mother"😂😂😂

"She's an old friend of Mickey Mouse." / "From where?!" I'm in tears for 5 minutes over this for some reason. :D

I'm very glad that we finally got to see the rest of the office. Watching Eurogamer and Dicebreaker as well as the OX channels, I knew there were like studios off of an open office area, but I didn't know about the storage closet, or that the List Video Throne wasn't just kept in a studio all the time. Little things, intricacies, that have no bearing on the lives of anyone in the audience, but they're cool to find out.

THE ART!?!?! It has been laid upon the floor cast side*faints*

14:20 Garfield Goose is actually a real character from the classic WGN show "Garfield Goose and Friends". It was a children's puppet show that was mainly shown in Chicago (as the fact that it was a WGN show suggests). It ran from 1952 to 1976. So you're not wrong about a beloved children's character being named "Garfield Goose".

Luke: I was playing fetch with my revenant-puppy and then I shot it in the face. Afterwards I felt a bit bad, is that weird?

I may be wrong here but last time Luke & Andy was on the couch I seem to recall Andy laughing so hard at Luke's drawing of Hunter Donald in the Bambi universe. Nice to know Andy's still laughing hard again this time 😂😂😂

Wait a minute... There is more than a kitchen and a sofa. Mind. Blown.

I always said, Kirby is a Shoggoth. King Dedede is one of those skinless Penguins from At The Mountains Of Madness and everything takes place in Lovecrafts Dream Cycle but from Kirby's perspective.

I love that Luke isn't sure if they've done a bit about Todd Howard being a pixie king before, as if that's a common thing that just happens. Oxtra lore is rich and detailed.

That cut at 17:34 really just makes it look like Luke has super strength and just pushed Mike out of frame

OX towers is bigger than i thought - i assumed it was like... one largeish room with computers and a filming corner, a kitchenette, and a store cupboard XD

18:39 hey I think i recognise that room. Is that the room dicebreaker use for streaming with Ian didgeridoo invasion?

To make the theme of the picture Luke made really in line with Kingdom Hearts, the theme should have been 'confusion'.

Loved seeing behind the scenes, great to see the Comments Corner Cupboard from old livestreams again 😊

I'd love to try our Doom Eternal, but lately I've been playing RDR2 like crazy. I just can't get over how good it is. Rather than completing my backlog which includes Dark Souls 3, Doom and Bioshock 2, I find myself on a new play-though as Arthur. 🤠

Oh man, finally a quiz I excel at! All Finns everywhere read Disney comics, so we'd at least heard of Clarabel, Horace, Gus, and Grandma Duck :-P

DOOMguy would be great at stealth. If you see a dispassionate killing machine popping out from behind a wall, do you :a) sound the alarm, prompting the shooting and dying firstb) do nothing and hope he moves on

Any album you guys make, I will buy faster than you can blink. Even if it's christened with the... unfortunate name: The Sausage.

Great footage of Breath of The Wild 2 there... what do you mean it's called Doom 2?

20:41 Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the entire plot of Kingdom Hearts; it was all just a fever dream of Sora's after watching one too many Disney films.
