Sometimes you watch two grown adults play with a bow and arrow in a small room with fragile equipment, and you have an inkling what’s going to happen. Never change, Luke and Ellen. Except for when it comes to safety glasses. Maybe change into those.
“Hello future Luke, hope you aren’t playing too much Elden Ring. Get some vitamin D” *somewhere in a darkened room, Luke grunts under the harsh light of a monitor “Ohhhhhbh Elden Ring” lol
Luke shooting an arrow into the wall is definitely a Presh Memory, for 2022. With all the other chaos going on in the world right now, it actually feels appropriate in a soothing kind of way.
Lesson learned: Do *_NOT_* leave the kids unsupervised with a bow and arrow. Honestly, it's partly the fault of the parents on this one. They should've known better. And if anybody asks, Jon wasn't there.
@@SarimDeLaurec For shame, really. Here I thought _He_ was the most responsible one out of the trio. I could forgive Mike, since he's almost as irresponsible, can't exactly expect him to be the judgemental one... Also, he'd probably suggest attaching a firework _after_ reprimanding them. Jane... Honestly, she gets the least of the blame, since she'll just replace them with new and improved clones, and probably doing it right now, as we speak. *RIP, current Luke & Ellen; they had a good run.*
As someone who practices archery, I can't begin to tell you guys how on edge I was seeing Ellen sitting in Luke's firing line - Even with a really tiny children's bow with rubber arrows. xD
Likewise. Not only that, but also Luke dry-firing the bow 😬 It was a bit like watching an archery safety video showcasing "exactly what not to do on the range". On the plus side, the backdrop was the only casualty, so I think they got away with it this time.
I’ve seen a lot of comments like this and want to assure you all that, despite how it looks on camera, I was *not* in the line of fire. It’s deceptive, like when you watch football on screen and you can’t always tell where the ball is until it lands, or realise it’s somewhere completely different when you see it from another angle. The arrows were nowhere near me, just in front of me compared to the camera. I’ve done archery before as a kid and I know not to put myself where an arrow could hit me. But I’ll wear goggles if we do this again to set everyone’s minds at ease haha - E
@@outsidextra It's all good, just instinctive reactions from folks who are used to the structured precautions of a target range. In our minds, anyone who's not standing behind the archers is technically in front of them, which immediately stops everyone firing - even if it's just rubber-tipped blunt arrows or low-poundage bows. Like I say, it's just an instinctive reaction drilled into us on the archery range, not necessarily a reflection of any actual danger.
*Meanwhile, Lenny Henry is in a Zoom meeting with his lawyer's* "So, this Westaway fella, just admitted to stealing our Internet. What are you going to do about it!?" "5-10 years, easily." "...throw away the key." "He did pay for breakfast, though. So...probably out in 5." "Time enough to think on his crimes."
Here's a story to make you feel better, Luke: When I was in school, we did a unit on archery and we were set up in the gym with the targets over at one end with this big, huge cloth hanging behind them, which is designed to catch arrows and it's too tough for them to pierce, I guess. And that was to protect the bleachers behind the targets, especially because it was a pretty new gym. I think that was the first year it was used. So anyway, I failed so spectacularly at hitting the target that I actually still managed to hit the bleachers. We think the arrow bounced under the cloth, which gathers in a bundle along the ground, and then ricocheted up to bury into like the third row up. It was almost impressive. Lol.
"For some reason," she says! *shudder* As a former competitive archer, that break happens as a result of what's called a "dry shoot" - i.e. firing without an arrow. The tension of the shot can't be discharged via the arrow and instead reverberates through the bow. The tension looks for the weakest point to expell itself, usually where the limbs meet the riser, which is what causes the break.
Luke's washing machine story was my reality just recently, stuck trying to get water out of it while it was sitting on the floor and realistically just collecting most of it with towels.
Luke, the sock miracle you're describing is called a SockDock. It's a cord with sliding clips to group socks in twos and string several pairs together throughout the wash. I got one for a stocking (ha) stuffer and it works well!
When I do laundry at home we use safety pins to pin socks together at the heels before washing them. (I lightly cuff them before putting them in the bin so they stay paired and then separate and pin before going in the wash)
Having had a crumpled up sock not uncrumple just in this week's laundry: the dryer does not get it dry enough! (side note: if you have heat on, that's an easy way to touch up the odd thing the dryer doesn't dry out - just lay it out on the vent or near the space heater or whatever. NOT directly on top of the space heater or other heating element, if you have direct heat sources, putting flammable stuff right on them is how you make fires, not dry stuff!)
Don't feel too bad Luke, when I was a kid I got an archery kit for Christmas that I had for like one hour before it got taken away from me because I accidentally shot my step-dad's antique Christmas light bulbs. OOPS.
Luke has a good point about laundry, lol. I'd love my laundry to put itself away. I'm extremely glad I hadn't taken a sip of my tea when that arrow went through the roll like that. It did make a very satisfying noise though.
An idea for Luke's sock sorting improvement: Sock clamps! Clamp a pair of socks together and put 'em in the wash. That's basically the same amount of work you have to do afterwards, but in the end the socks would stay together.
"Gaming's greatest world saving ginger" Chrono begs to differ, I have no problem talking about socks and washing machines. I know the pain of the broken washing machine. And the reason that you can't prefold the socks before washing is that any dirt or sweat inside will be trapped and not removed.
When they were talking about the folding socks, where you fold them together and then put them in the wash, my family has been doing that since before I was born, so more than 25 years
I'm happy to know I'm not the only one using an old PS3 as a Media centre. If this was the last Show of the Weekend (given that Jane will likely imprison Luke in the Acid Mines now for damaging the background), this is at least something to remember you by :)
My face hurts from laughing 🤣🤣🤣 That was phenomenal Also, don't be me when your dryer breaks. Went and got a new one same day, and in the process of removing the old and installing the new, I forgot there were still clothes in the old dryer till a few hours after the scrap place picked it up. I lost some good leggings that day.
Now I want next week's Show of the Weekend cold open to feature someone else on the sofa with Ellen. Then Luke runs in from off screen like he escaped the law, then credits, then proceed with normal episode
13:58 - A friendly tip: It's generally not recommended to snap a bow's string without an arrow in it if you want the bow to last longer, as there's no arrow to take the force, so the force travels along the string and goes into the bow's frame instead, causing it to weaken faster over time.
As a hobbyist archer, I'm wincing at the... well, everything from the bow shape/size to the way Luke is holding it. And now the worse way he's holding it. And oh dear lord why is she giving him arrows. NO DON'T PUT YOUR FINGER THERE DO YOU WANT TO LOSE IT. I don't imagine this ending well. Edit: It did not end well. It didn't end as badly as I'd feared, though, so, you get a Like.
Literally sorting laundry while I watch this video, personally I enjoy the organisation aspect of it (just like keeping my inventory tidy in Resident Evil games!).
When I was a teenager I got very into archery and had a bow with a 90 pound draw and real pointy arrows. I practiced in our backyard until I shot an arrow THROUGH the fence and got it lodged under the wheel of a car ACROSS THE STREET. That could have broke SO BAD in so many ways! After that I practiced with a professional target in the massive empty lot down the street.
"I'll Turn Off Sneezing." -Luke Westaway 2022. *30 Years Later Luke sits in a rocking chair* "Ehhhh Darn Kids! Get off my lawn! Now why can't I Sneeze?c
...did I just sit through an entire conversation of two adults talking about laundry whilst nodding in agreement. Outside Xtra, where the real conversations are being had.
Uh.... Can I extract free energy out of this? Is it a non-Euclidean and non-ordinal gravitational gradient that allows me to build/power a perpetual motion machine and make it on Earth as it is in Paradise? Or is it just a psychological hallucination that will cause me to eventually injure and disable myself because I can no longer feel how tired/strained my legs are getting?
The Horizon games are probably my favorite games of all time, right up there with Mass Effect Legendary. And I also took up archery again recently, partly because of the games - so fun. And - “an angry ferret with lasers” is the best description of a Burrower I’ve seen to date. Brilliant.
Things I learned from this video: Broken washing machines suck, you can borrow wifi from hotels to download videos and the wall always had that hole. (Andy must never know) ; )
Thanks, Luke and Ellen, for taking me back to a week before my birthday last year, when on the 1st day of vacation, my washing machine got fried mid-cycle. I'd happily repressed that experience...
Anyone else see Luke with the bow in the thumbnail, and go "Ah, that's a incident report..." Then see Ellen with the arrows and go "two incident reports actually"
Quality of life? Being able to summon a handful of bird food, my choice of either the no-grow ground mix or a mix of buggy nibbles and berry nibbles. Then I could feed any friendly birds I met, anywhere, any time. Also I could mix it into a supermarket's cheap own-brand soup to make it a bit more satisfying.
I really need an OX Short vid of Andy's reaction to that hole. Also, come on Luke, you've seen movies. You push the arrow thru, not pull it back out. 😜😂
Luke, you might want to put sock clips onto your Christmas wish list. You clip the socks together, they get soaked and washed properly, and you have the pair together afterwards.
I've been playing. Been so distracted with side quests, machine hunting and everything this game has to offer that I have reached the level cap before finishing the story.
Longest I have gone without an important piece of tech: house heater for one full year. Wore a lot of coats indoors that winter at least the walls keep out the wind
As an archer, this was mildly painful to watch. Also shooting right handed as a left handed person is not very uncommon. I'm left handed but shoot right handed because my right eye is dominant over my left.
I thought that, since he's not used to shooting left-handed, he could have tried right-handed without any real disadvantage. I don't want the archery community to sound like a bunch of whingers when they're just having fun (and it WAS hilarious) but when that sort of fun leads to injuries we're the ones who get complaints and threats...
I can't help but hope there is a list video being made by Outside Xbox when all of a sudden, an arrow comes through the wall. I would even settle for an oxtra short of: A: The rest of the crew's reaction (ok namely Andy's reaction). B: The other side of the wall.
"And that was the last that we ever saw of the Oxtra crew. What happened to them, you may ask? Well after Luke shot the arrow into the wall, Jane invited them into her secret lab and to this day they have never returned. Some say that the two Cockroaches you see running through Oxbox's videos are them but nothing has ever been confirmed" This is the opening monologue to a new Unsolved Mysteries episode.
"So we're going to do an archery challenge where you shoot a target on the sofa. Also, Ellen will still be on the sofa." "Ok, so we'll use suction cup arrows, right?" "..." "Right?!?"
