I love how the enemies, instead of being given names like "zombies" or "mummies", are called things like "cadaverous horror" or "mummified miscreant". It really adds to the '30s matinee thing, and is also, in my opinion, really funny.
Even better that they made them match the colors their characters wear, :) I kinda suspect they didn't may enough attention to the quest objectives at the end. They were supposed to grab the book off the dead guy THEN kill the army of mummies. Might be easier that way? not sure.
I see that the Strange Brigade subscribe to the same archaeological principles as Lara Croft: Grab anything not nailed down, smash anything you can't grab, and shoot everything else

My GODS, MIKE! I can see this being the footage used in a future documentary cut with the rest of OX as talking heads "Of course, it was at this point we realised that all those years of exploding ducks and golf balls were taking their tole, he'd just lost that killer instinct, we did the best we could, let him have all of the health, but in the end his last great explosion was only a matter of time'...
This looks like a winning combination of near senseless violence and interesting puzzles (●′ᴗ‵●) i paused the video several times just to enjoy the scenery. You mentioned Indiana Jones a few times but i confess i kept looking for Rick O'Connell and Evelyn! i wish you would have (could have?) shown us exactly what every thing was on that table in the tent: try to freeze the frame @15:07, just as Jane bends down to swipe the potion bottle, but before the bottle disappears to get the best view... The radio is obvious, but what was that tall slate and blue box to its left with all of the buttons on the bottom? And that thing to the right of the lantern, that looks like a cross between a shaded computer monitor with text on it, a small shelf with doodads... hmmmn is that a tray of cassette tapes on the right? and... that thing with the wire, is that an ancient telephone-style radio handset? Sorry for being so curious but i am a vintage geektress; stuff like this is kewl to me!
Yes the scorpions are different you can use your video game logic the first ones had green stingers. The other were yellow so harder. And I would imagine orange or red will be coming later.
I like how it starts with Mike having interest in the game and Jane is like the parent that has no idea and is just participating because of their child.
So what have we learned today? That the ancient cultures of Europe and Africa were pretty much interchangeable and that scorpions can combat-roll and go to heaven. Elephant-gun is a high-power low-capicity rifle for hunting large targets (like elephants). Essentially old-fashioned anti-material rifles.
Wait a minute Mike, are you decrying the venerable 1911?!?! That handgun is one of the finest ever made. How dare you! And yes, compared to a rifle, all handguns are rubbish.
Can anybody tell me if this game is worth getting for single player? I really like the theme and style of this game, but don’t have anyone to play it with.
Mike (proud): "I get about five enemies every time I trigger a trap. Which is very good!" Jane: "That's cause there are so many enemies!! Hard not to." Mike (sad): "Yeah...that's true" Followed by a few seconds of awkward silence. Really, Jane? Can't you just say "Well done" or "That's great" or "You're really good at this"? Poor Mike...
Jane: Oh, what did you do? Oh, that seems bad... Mike: I... unlocked an ancient curse... Jane: Oh, not ANOTHER one... Then they just go off on their merry way. I have a feeling that this happens not only in games, but also in the office...
Jane - “I just killed a cat” Jane did you know in ancient Egypt it was actually looked down upon to do any harm to cats. And if someone did harm a cat they were wished misfortune and curses upon them. But I am sure that is nothing but an old Egyptian wives tale. I’m sure you will be fine for shooting that cat
Giant scorpions have inhabited human ruins around the Mediterranean since before there were humans. Sadly they were hunted to extinction by archeologists/adventurers during the early 20th century.
I didn't want to believe Jane was really evil, but what kind of monster takes health potions in a multiplayer game at full health, when your teammate is constantly on low health?!
Aww Mike, while it's true shooty video game sidearms are trash for the sake of balancing. That Colt 1911 .45 caliber looking sidearm of yours is absolutely not rubbish. It's such a highly regarded firearm that's still sought after today! I mean.. It's even big boss approved! - An American OXbox fan
So...why are they not using their pistols (which have unlimited ammo) to shoot objects? It's one thing to waste the main weapon's bullets, but wasting the disposable special weapons' is a little...
I love how the enemies, instead of being given names like "zombies" or "mummies", are called things like "cadaverous horror" or "mummified miscreant". It really adds to the '30s matinee thing, and is also, in my opinion, really funny.
Mike: I could do with a potion!
*Gets potion*
*Continues to not use the potion until after he's ACTUALLY DEAD*
Loving the colour-coded borders. That's a nice touch, you guys.
Even better that they made them match the colors their characters wear, :)
I kinda suspect they didn't may enough attention to the quest objectives at the end. They were supposed to grab the book off the dead guy THEN kill the army of mummies. Might be easier that way? not sure.
Jane: Do I shoot it?
Also Jane: I shot it.
Jane: "I found a cat. Should I shoot it?" *BANG*
I was literally saying "NO WAIT" just as she shot it
Somewhere, Ellen screams in terror
She's still in Tomb Raider kill all the things mode.
It's Tomb Raider all over again....
As Ellen whimpers with a single tear streaking down her cheek.
I love that Jane's Rosie Rivetter did an upper cut ala her poster while Mike's did just a normal punch.
I am mildly concerned with how fast it took Jane to go from "I found a cat" to "Should I shoot it?" to shooting it.
The 30's, curses and a bunch of mummies.. should've been called 'Brendan Frasing-the stakes'
Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?
"Oh, that's a grenade"
Where have I heard that before?
From any game-play video featuring grenades and Mike Channell.
Another entry in the classic struggle of Jane vs. Grenades.
I like how kind jane is. She gives atleast 9 warning shots per 10 bullets.
I see that the Strange Brigade subscribe to the same archaeological principles as Lara Croft: Grab anything not nailed down, smash anything you can't grab, and shoot everything else
Impressed/surprised that Jane didn't shout "Yes We Can!" with every uppercut.
She's too British. :p
I don't know what I find more disturbing: that Jane has a back tattoo, that it says "Why even aim?", or that it DOESN'T just read "Grenade out!"
Anyone else get a feeling Jane started the Apocalypse and these games are a way of training her team to survive?
Life hack: Get a job where you can immediately stop doing whatever you're doing as soon as an oxbox notification pops up.
And my parents wanted me to be a surgeon
Updated hack: Create a pill so you don't need sleep when a UK channel uploads videos when it's 2am in Australia
Thats called adderall and they make it in numerous doses.
judging by the accuracy, I see that the Stormtrooper school of shooting has taught you two well, Mike and Jane.
I see someone is a fan of CinemaSins
So Jane's first instinct on seeing a cat is to shoot it.
Ellen's okay with this?
To be fair, Jane's first instinct after playing Tomb Raider , is to shoot everything.
She did make sure it was a statue... Im sure Jane wont shoot an actual cat... Right? Unless its a Jaguar? Or a Cougar... Nevermind....
“There is a leg rolling down the hill, so I see I did some damage” Mike’s family crest 😀
The spike traps are like Ellen’s meat grinder power in dnd
I am to guess that is from the last Oxventure. And I think you mean Merilwen.
Finally a game that recognizes that _books_ are the _real_ treasure...
A character with a Northern Accent? Senu and her would get along swimmingly!
Mike's giggle is amazing.
HEEE HEEE HEEEEE
Game came out three minutes ago and someone disliked. Who didn't make the cut to be on the OXbox crew and is still upset?
somebodytoremember PlayStation Access strikes again.

Nathan Williamson Sure, that's what they WANT us to think🤔
25:06 Nice to see the Egyptians took inspiration from Merilwen's meat grinder
Mike and Jane "massacre zombies, smash ancient artefacts and harvest souls". So ... pretty much a normal day for them?
ADVISORY: Shooting cats is not normally required to bring them home with you. Please refrain from shooting non-ceramic cats.
So by that logic, it is entirely fine to shoot every ceramic cat? Back in a bit!!
I just spent the better part of a year shooting cats and wondering why people looked at me like I am crazy when I told them I wanted to adopt them.
Not surprised that Jane immediately went for shooting things lol you guys honestly make almost all games super enjoyable! My bank account cries
My GODS, MIKE! I can see this being the footage used in a future documentary cut with the rest of OX as talking heads "Of course, it was at this point we realised that all those years of exploding ducks and golf balls were taking their tole, he'd just lost that killer instinct, we did the best we could, let him have all of the health, but in the end his last great explosion was only a matter of time'...
I do love Jane's multipurpose solution instinct that is the hand grenade. Really speaks to...something, I suppose.
fun fact: scorpions do burrow. Unpleasant fact: they do so with their scoop like wings. terrifying fact: scorpions have wings.
The world was a much happier place before I knew that.... I can never go back to that innocent time.
The blunderbuss is coming
The Scorpions are running...
Hmm, need to come up with a tune to go with that.
Jane: "I found a cat. Do I shoot it?" SOMEBODY COVER ELLEN'S EARS!
Where's Merilwen's meat grinder when you need it?
Gettin a real "Time for work, boys!" vibe off Jane's character.
Such aim that Mike and Queen Jane have.
it is quite impressive :)
AndrAlaMatrix It'll be fine once they unlock the ExplosiveDuck & EldritchBlast perks
i must've spent like 10 minutes shouting at the screen for mike to press up on the d pad to drink potions. oh oxbox, never change.
Souls for daaaays, mate.
Jane demonstrating her expert markmanship in this 😂
Man, life is strange x strange brigade would be the strangest and maybe coolest crossover ever @.@
I think scorpians DO burrow, the more you know.
Scorpions IRL burrow in loose sand. Those giant magic scorpions were burrowing through ROCK.
Ah...I remember the last time Jane and Mike played the demo. Long time ago.
If anything I could say that this Brigade was Strange...
This looks like a winning combination of near senseless violence and interesting puzzles (●′ᴗ‵●)
i paused the video several times just to enjoy the scenery.
You mentioned Indiana Jones a few times but i confess i kept looking for Rick O'Connell and Evelyn!
i wish you would have (could have?) shown us exactly what every thing was on that table in the tent:

Shooting a cat ? noo, Jane would _never_ shoot a defenseless animal.
right ?
guys ?
Like Indiana Jones but more brittish... So... Indiana Jones with a cup of tea? ☕
... or Henry Jones Senior. (Last Crusade was the best of the trilogy.)
Or Allan Quartermain. I'm disappointed that they didn't think of him.
@@marhawkman303 Allan Quartermain does not get referenced nearly enough in general.
Lancashire Jones?
Mike shot the scorpion in the money maker and money came out. Missed out on a pun mike😂😂😂
I see that Janes reign of terror on the animals of the world still persists
Yes the scorpions are different you can use your video game logic the first ones had green stingers. The other were yellow so harder. And I would imagine orange or red will be coming later.
I like how it starts with Mike having interest in the game and Jane is like the parent that has no idea and is just participating because of their child.
"My bowl of happy is mac & cheese" is a proper "same, tbf" moment.
Literally spent 5 minutes sitting there silently fuming because Mike kept not using his health potion...like Overwatch all over again...lol xD
Mike and Jane only? Couldn't be better!!!
So what have we learned today? That the ancient cultures of Europe and Africa were pretty much interchangeable and that scorpions can combat-roll and go to heaven.
Elephant-gun is a high-power low-capicity rifle for hunting large targets (like elephants). Essentially old-fashioned anti-material rifles.
Wait a minute Mike, are you decrying the venerable 1911?!?! That handgun is one of the finest ever made. How dare you!
And yes, compared to a rifle, all handguns are rubbish.
JANE: GRENADE OUT!
ME: *Starts having GTA flashbacks.
Hang on, @08:40, did I just see a scorpion do a Combat roll?? 😅
Can anybody tell me if this game is worth getting for single player? I really like the theme and style of this game, but don’t have anyone to play it with.
Mike (proud): "I get about five enemies every time I trigger a trap. Which is very good!"
Jane: "That's cause there are so many enemies!! Hard not to."
Mike (sad): "Yeah...that's true"
Followed by a few seconds of awkward silence.
Really, Jane? Can't you just say "Well done" or "That's great" or "You're really good at this"? Poor Mike...
I don't know if I'm hearing correctly, but is there a _narrator_ character with you? Maybe you'll get to snark to each other in the later game.
The shotgun looks so satisfying
Jane: Oh, what did you do? Oh, that seems bad...
Mike: I... unlocked an ancient curse...
Jane: Oh, not ANOTHER one...
Then they just go off on their merry way. I have a feeling that this happens not only in games, but also in the office...
Watching Mike with the potion: So when mike cuts his finger does he just put a band-aid (plaster) in his pocket and hope that does the trick?
I vaguely remember you guys playing strange brigade previously. Is this the sequel?
I think it was like a demo.
Jane - “I just killed a cat”
Jane did you know in ancient Egypt it was actually looked down upon to do any harm to cats. And if someone did harm a cat they were wished misfortune and curses upon them.
But I am sure that is nothing but an old Egyptian wives tale. I’m sure you will be fine for shooting that cat
This game has all the archeological accuracy of a tomb raider!
Wow this seems to have taken a while to come out.
Old Chris Pine? My first thought was Gaston. No one punches Zombies like Gaston.
I hear scorpion heaven is terrible. It's full of scorpions!
I feel like I've seen Mike and Andy play this before.
Giant scorpions have inhabited human ruins around the Mediterranean since before there were humans. Sadly they were hunted to extinction by archeologists/adventurers during the early 20th century.
Yes because my heart bleeds for giant arachnids that make me want to curl up in a ball. Lol
I love the redcoat.
"It's actually really fun to punch the mummies!"
Silly Jane, they're not zombies, they're mummies. Lol!
Why is it every time Jane says "grenade out" something goes terribly wrong?
I guess now we know that in addition to grenades. Jane can't be trusted with traps.
"The secret of good Archeology is shooting everything until everything is shot"... and you guys doubted Lara Croft
My happy bowl contains fruit crumble and custard.
Game looks very kitschy... I approve 👍🏼 Co-Op looks fun.
So you see a cat chilling and your imidiate instinct is to shoot it?
....
Jane, are you OK?
I didn't want to believe Jane was really evil, but what kind of monster takes health potions in a multiplayer game at full health, when your teammate is constantly on low health?!
I think the map is based in the mythical land of Foreign
Aww Mike, while it's true shooty video game sidearms are trash for the sake of balancing. That Colt 1911 .45 caliber looking sidearm of yours is absolutely not rubbish. It's such a highly regarded firearm that's still sought after today! I mean.. It's even big boss approved! - An American OXbox fan
One minute in and Jane has already shoot an animal not a real animal but she didn't know that
"So many swollen scorpions!"
African area, greek area, quirky puzzles? Add an Aztec zone and I see a crystal maze reboot!
Is it just me or does the bitrate of this video feel absurdly low.
Poor mummies, they always get wrapped up in things like this
"shoot everything until everything is dead"- well, un- I mean they already are- RE-DEAD that's it
i wanna see a team of jane, mike and aoife from eurogamer, the ultimate killing squad
10:28 Jane, you never ask "why" with grenades … oh, wait, you meant the "Y" button. Never mind.
Cant wait for the new dlc
Maybe some Zombie Army for Halloween?
Mike having but not drinking the potion is giving me anxiety. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Edit: He drank it! **relieved sigh**
"Thats not treasure thats homework"
GOOD VIDEO
Mike use your health potions!
0:06 so tomb raider?
This game leaves me with questions...
So...why are they not using their pistols (which have unlimited ammo) to shoot objects? It's one thing to waste the main weapon's bullets, but wasting the disposable special weapons' is a little...
