I have decided Jane's jumper is an accurate map of the Tube and nothing will sway me from this opinion EDIT: had to come back after watching the rest of the vid to commend whoever edited it. A suite of great gags, my faves being Mike's smooth jazz look and Karl Urban being subtitled with Jane's wild guessing.
Between the editing of this video, Mike insisting on guessing "Starfield" until it's correct, and Jane's brilliant bit of metagaming, the chaotic energy of this quiz is perfect for wrapping up the year
I was really hoping that the House of Hope final battle music from BG3 would get a look-in during the music round, though I suppose Raphael's voice would've been a giveaway.
You can hear the main vocalist for Poets of the Fall in Herald of Darkness, so as long as you're familar with their close relationship with Remedy Games (such as going to listen to their tracks that are inside Control and the first Alan Wake), it's pretty guessable. But I suppose that requires non-2023 knowledge
I cheered for Jane right through the Christmas Challenges and finally got to see her walk away with a win! Thanks to Andy as always for this excellent quiz! Can't wait to see what 2024 brings. Games? Probably games.
It was really good in all portions. I just am not sure if it's quite the mid 2010s, like that first year the switch was out both Nintendo and Sony released tons of great stuff plus 3rd party developers too. But it was good still. (For reminders of games from 2017: Zelda, Mario Odyssey, RE7, Nier Automata, Samus Returns, Cuphead, Evil Within 2, Prey, Nioh, Hellblade and more) so against a year like that, it's nothing special. Also arguable this year didn't have 2 legitimate GOTY contenders like the year God of War and RDR2 came out.
Andy's editing is top-notch here. The Word Art style overlays, the Astarion inserts, it's just absolutely perfect (oh and matching the question/answer flow, but that's a given after the previous years and the Hitman videos). Also props for admitting blame in the BG3 Challenge debacle.
Always love this quiz, but I'm particularly really enjoying all the graphics and images popping up throughout Edit: the Astarion clips in particular are making me laugh every time
The editor sure had fun with this one. I usually do awfully playing along at home. I still did bad but this was probably the best I've ever done. Jane should've gotten half a point for almost remembering Immortal of Aveum since no one was going to remember that game.
I got as far as "something with 'Immortal' in the name" for my guess, but that's only because watching Jimquistion's Sh*ttist Games of 2023 yesterday reminded me it existed
Wait, there was a 2023!? This is such a highlight of the Christmas period for me, thanks everyone for all the hard work this year, we really appreciate it yet again. Hope you all had lovely Christmases and have fun plans for New Year etc. Same goes for the lovely lovely community. Thanks pals and a merry christmas one and all.
All the sex lines from Astarion had me laughing so much. I just started Baldur's Gate 3 last night (I was not aware there were customization options for the sex organs and I spent a long time in the character creator). I'm not very good yet. I got downed in the fight to take over the ship in the beginning. Took me ages to free Shadowheart. Then when Shadowheart and I were exploring and walked into those 3 brain creature things in the ship wreckage and got into a fight with them, we both got downed nearly simultaneously. I need to figure out how to properly play with my Dragonborn fighter. Or just aim their lightning attack properly instead of it hitting scenery instead of enemies. I did pretty well guessing on the whole. Happy that Armored Core VI got one question related to it, but that's the game that actually released this year that I've logged the most hours in. I'm laughing so hard again at the various cuts to Karl Urban (I do love that ad).
Wow, I didn't even notice that. I can't imagine its actually rotoscoped, though. Seems more likely that they just added the horrible corn dog to the background imagine that's being greenscreened in.
I kind of love that I got the Alan Wake music question not because I recognized the song from the game, but because I know a Poets of the Fall song when I hear one.
Always love the year end quiz. Mike guessing Starfield every chance he got was golden! Thanks for introducing me to the Redfall OST. But the gold star goes to the editor for this video. They knocked it out of the park! The "Mike Smells" round was too good.
finally got around to watching this, great quiz, and the editing was brilliant!!! I got 22 ^.^ the full five from bg3 companions really helped me out!!
No musical love for Hi-Fi Rush? Still, these vids are always fun. Best wishes to the entire Outside crew. Hope you finish 2023 strong and may 2024 ring you unprecedented joy and success!
The insertion of the Astarion is perfect in every situation.
And to be clear...
All possible interpretations of that sentence are valid and true
If Neil got a dollar for every use of this clip, he probably could retire.
Yep, kudos to whoever did the editing for this one.
*Andy, off camera* BOO!!! BOO!! Boo
I feel like this was edited late at night with a glass of mulled wine in hand:
"Why yes I think I will put a clip art text of the words Bloody Hell when Mike says that, also another mince pie"
Drinking mulled wine out of a glass.... heretical
@@freddierhodes8201 I'm fancy, what can I say?
@@mattsgrungywhat is mulled wine?

Mulled wine is a warmed and lightly spiced wine that is a traditional Christmas drink in the UK (as well as other places)
@@johannord4778
omg Jane playing Dredge would be a must watch
I'd like to see Ellen play it
YES! Jane and/or Ellen.
@@landonewtswhy not both?
@@trankia1224 tbf a “Jallen/Ellane Plays” series would be a brilliant addition to the roster of shows in general…
Really love the editing of this video.
The “Song #2 (not Blur)” gag really got me 😂😂
Woo hoo!
(My local team plays it every time they score at home.)
The evolving captions for the Armoured Core ad made me wheeze
@@zanite8650someone elsewhere in the comments said it feels like this was edited late at night with a drink in hand and honestly, I can't accept any other hypothesis now.
Whoever edited this video had a lot of fun with it and I love it
Jane's "that's not true" followed by Andy's laugh got me. 😂
Well done, everyone.
It's not the end of the year until Andy's Quiz of the Year is here!
Loved all the Astarion jumpcuts
Mike is always so good at the music section. It’s unreal.
Mike finally getting a Starfield guess right was so satisfying 😂
the Astarion jump-cuts are HILARIOUS
Wonderful timing on this upload! Just jumped in the a bubble bath pretending I would read a book
If this isn't one of the most relatable comments then i don't know what is
The editing in this is absolutely top notch ❤
It's much more current-meme-culture than I feel they need, but I don't have their metrics in front of them. It's well done, that's for sure.
Jane @ 28:20 : “it-it the f- it-flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths.”
I don't have a Clue what you're talking about.
I have decided Jane's jumper is an accurate map of the Tube and nothing will sway me from this opinion

I am very sure it is Andy. The gags have an Andy signature.
Jane really needs to tidy up her mind palace.
Mike's "BLOODY HELL" had me laughing for a solid minute.
Between the editing of this video, Mike insisting on guessing "Starfield" until it's correct, and Jane's brilliant bit of metagaming, the chaotic energy of this quiz is perfect for wrapping up the year
These quizzes are always a great end of year treat. Loved the Astarion insert at 19:54 and the Karl Urban subtitle edits. Lol
The editing for this video is absolutely on point 👍🏻❤️
The Asterion/hamster edit made me laugh out loud 😂
Seconded! Had so many good laughs ❤
I was so hoping 'Raphael's Final Act' from BG3 would feature in the music round, that song is phenomenal.
Was so sure that it was gonna be the last entry. It really is phenomenal with pure dark Disney villain energy
I was not expecting this at this time.
What a pleasant surprise.
Jane's sweater looks so comfy, it's unreal 🥰
10:01 - _Do it, cowards_ 😅
the editing of this video was just stellar.... I had so much fun watching! thanks!
Mike staring into space failing to remember any BG3 companions has me wheezing.
“I don’t mean sex, to be clear” _has_ to enter the OxBox Meme Catalogue.

This whole video was just *chef's kiss*. AND Jane finally won something in the Silly Season competitions! Yay, Jane! (and her amazing sweater.)
The editing this year was absolutely top notch. xD
Wow, I guess Andy read the comments on that Baldurs Gate xmas challenge video...
I cheered for Jane right through the Christmas Challenges and finally got to see her walk away with a win! Thanks to Andy as always for this excellent quiz! Can't wait to see what 2024 brings. Games? Probably games.
2024, the year of no games
Games aren't back, everyone.@@Ninjamanhammer
Jane and Mike’s IMMEDIATE skepticism when Andy calls 2023 one of the best if not the best year in gaming 😆😆😆😆😆😆
To be fair, it is up there. 2023 was a really good year in gaming
@@Jodsalz16 I thought that the fact we had a Forza AND a Hot Wheels game release would have been enough for Mike to at least consider it lol
We had a lot of amazing games this year, but also had a lot of very very bad games this year. Balancing it out to be about an average year for gaming.
It was really good in all portions. I just am not sure if it's quite the mid 2010s, like that first year the switch was out both Nintendo and Sony released tons of great stuff plus 3rd party developers too. But it was good still.

Yeah it was nowhere near to be one of the best...
loving the fun editing in this one!
"Is Pegi displeased or is Pegi pleased? She'll never tell..... no wait, she publishes it on her website" 😂😂
The editing on this was absolutely top notch, the "Sure Mike" wordart was a highlight but there were several visual gags which cracked me up xD

Edit: the Astarion clips in particular are making me laugh every time
Im here for the 7 most memorable immolations
Mike when he said beans awareness for heinz, just had to say the correct ingredient🤣
The editor sure had fun with this one.

Love how the clip for Immortals of whatever says Battlemage Thing after Mike called it that haha
'Song #2 (Not Blur)' - Ok, you got me with this one.
Wait, there was a 2023!?
This is such a highlight of the Christmas period for me, thanks everyone for all the hard work this year, we really appreciate it yet again. Hope you all had lovely Christmases and have fun plans for New Year etc.
Same goes for the lovely lovely community. Thanks pals and a merry christmas one and all.
22:09 was instantly familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then I heard a voice deep within my soul...
"You're an artist, mate!"
19:25 I wouldn't have minded Mike singing more of that song. He clearly loves it.
Love these quizzes, the editing was great for this one, enjoyed the cheeky close ups and the repeated use of *that* BG3 clip!
Whoever edited this has done an absolutely fantastic job. Excellent and very funny.
The edits on this video are just excellent. Great job this year OX!
Great quiz of the year and great editing! Love this tradition!
The quiz of the year videos are basically one of my most fav videos of OutsideXbox. This is another great addition to that list.
Huge "end of the year" energy from the editing in this one and I love it
This quiz has a weird energy, and I'm so here for it.
This was incredible. More than one perfect, single dollar to the editor of this episode. Amazing work.
Wait, there are clips for Astarion saying "do" _and_ "don't"? That's hilarious.
I forget this is coming every year but it's always one of my favourite videos
The editing on this is absolutely hilarious; some real effort went into this. I had to rewind that 'love shack' clip a couple times 😂
The absolute best use of the "I don't mean sex" meme was after Mike said "I know about the hamster" XD

Thanks for putting in the extra effort into the editing. I noticed it and very much appreciated it.
Kudos to whoever edited this one. Specifically really enjoyed the inserts and the rotoscope work at 4:04.
Wow, I didn't even notice that. I can't imagine its actually rotoscoped, though. Seems more likely that they just added the horrible corn dog to the background imagine that's being greenscreened in.
Terrific editing gags throughout. Bravo to the editor
i want jane's sweater so bad
also the subtitled karl urban gag killed me lmao
The DK Rap is great, I'll Grant him that...
I was half expecting the video to end with the Astarion clip again.
You're all hilarious as always but I gotta say the editing is *chef's kiss* 😆 you should include Astarion in all your videos!
The editor was having some fun this video. 😅 Great quiz and great video!
I love these videos, among my favorites each year. Thanks for another amaizing year everyone :D
The way I immediately started singing along to Herald of Darkness
I cannot believe there was no music from Stray God's: The Roleplaying Musical!! Surely made for the music round
I was hoping for some _Stray Gods_ coverage this year, but it feels like the big channels largely overlooked it.
11:53 I dont know how I missed this quote, but absolutely love it
Hilarious end of the year quiz. Great job! 🎉
Low key disappointed that there weren’t any BG3 songs in the music portion. That soundtrack is absolutely stunning.
I want Andy to host Jeopardy…just think of his edited topic titles (Mike Smells)
Merry Quizmas!
Also: Here's hoping we won't get a Crappy New Year.
18:45 - I had to play that back multiple times before I realised he was saying 'did I get it right?' and not 'f***ing right!'
The editing in this video is superb! A merry detraction from the norm. It kept me engaged because i needed to see what came up next
12:31 I have never seen a more adorable sneeze
I love this channel so much. Thanks for getting us through 2023. Here’s to a grand year full of gaming, hijinks and shenanigans in 2024.
The editing in this video is pure gold. Well done crew, well done!
Hooray! I always look forward to these, they never fail to entertain 🎉
I kind of love that I got the Alan Wake music question not because I recognized the song from the game, but because I know a Poets of the Fall song when I hear one.
I’ve never seen an actual sneeze filmed. Thank you
Always love the year end quiz. Mike guessing Starfield every chance he got was golden! Thanks for introducing me to the Redfall OST. But the gold star goes to the editor for this video. They knocked it out of the park! The "Mike Smells" round was too good.

Andy atoning for the BG3 Christmas challenge fiasco is the final end of year redemption arc we needed 😆🤣
The editing in this is so good, just a fun and funny video all around
This editing is incredible ❤ props to whoever done this
I love how heavily edited this is, makes it so much funnier.
Thank you for all your hard work keep it up.Happy new year🎉
I look forward to this every year!
* applause* for "not blur"
"What would be an embarrassing comparison to Starfield?"
"Minesweeper".
As a Starfield lover, you are 100% correct.
Love all your videos but the editing on this one is next level. Great work!
❤
Dang, now I really want that "Most Memorable Immolations" video.
I am ever so slightly upset that the Raphael boss battle music from Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t make it into the music round, because it is SO DAMN GOOD
Loving the Editing in this video, really feeling the silliness
I’m sad the music round didn’t include the best in-game music of the year - the operatic song that plays when you fight Raphael in Baldur’s Gate 3
I was slightly worried when Jane pictured Karl Ubran about to say something 😂😂
No musical love for Hi-Fi Rush?
Still, these vids are always fun. Best wishes to the entire Outside crew. Hope you finish 2023 strong and may 2024 ring you unprecedented joy and success!
