This week's Show of the Weekend isn't on a purple sofa, but a bench in Apple Park, as Ellen and Luke had a sneaky look at some of the new gadgets and games coming from Apple. Plus we read through your comments and have a disagreement over flapjacks...!

I had a bunch of imaginary friends when I was growing up (I'm guessing my stuffed animals that I gave complex interior lives don't count), but the only ones I remember very well were Roger (a blue talking pig from Japan) and her brother Lloyd (some kind of green cat creature??) and thanks to the ennui of early adolescence, all our silly adventures got more and more complicated until I started actually writing them and that's how I got into writing lmao props to my weird babies

Ellen considering finding a new co-presenter as Luke describes his desire for crunchy flap-jacks.

Wait, they release a black hole when their trainer is in ANY kind of danger? Woah, better stick to the soft and chewy flapjacks rather than the ones which can break your teeth. For the good of humanity.

My imaginary friend was a bee of varying size called "bienli", which roughly translates into little bee :)

Flapjacks should be like armadillos, smooth on the inside and crunchy on the outside.

Mikes Hitman play style is what it should be. He s just always doing the most fun thing without worrying what comes next and without trying to achieve something in the most efficient way possible. Maybe his chaos is a form of patience as well.

I love how my comment sparked a discussion on the proper sort of UK Flapjack 😂

My imaginary friend was Godzilla. He was 4’6” and a great listener

My imaginary friend was the Prince of the Dinosaur World. We don't need context for this.

“He’s a patience vampire” is my new favourite descriptor ever

As one of those for whom Show of the Weekend is a weekly ritual, I would have totally understood a short/altered/nonexistent Show of the Weekend given you guys were in the US. But I’m so glad you went the extra mile and did a full one for us. ❤️

Mike is a patience vampire?... It all makes sense now🤯

That whatsapp thread is now my most favourite OX content ever

My imaginary friend growing up wasn't exactly 'imaginary'. Rather, it was a three-foot long stuffed St. Bernard that I had absolutely convinced myself was a real dog.

So the next time someone falls to their demise we can watch it in slow motion? Wonderful... Also I never had imaginary friends but I often put myself in some of my favorite TV series such as Star Trek and Mission Impossible.

A patience vampire, you say? **Writes a latter to the Hardsuit Labs**

Absolutely loved that opening 😂😂🤣 haha

It was about the games at first, but getting to know your personalities and enjoying your interactions, I'd be happy watching you guys talk about or doing just about anything! Luke, Ellen, Mike, Andy, and Jane are just so entertaining, I always look forward to watching the shows and lists every week.

Patience Vampire. That's the best thing I've ever heard 😂

Hearing Luke talking about the way of watching someone else playing Smash reminded me a bit of when I started fencing. When you first watch two fencers in a duel, it's completely overwhemling and you see almost nothing expect "noise". But once you understand the mechanics, time suddenly flows different and you see patterns.

I didn't even think about this until now, but it's super cute. Anyway, the youngest of my many brothers used to have a 6-foot tall glow in the dark penguin with night vision goggle called Phrosty as his imaginary friend, who he was absolutely certain existed, and the only reason the rest of us never saw him was because he went to the moon every day using the cardboard box used for the hamsters cage delivery and only came back at night whilst everyone else was asleep. He actually made his Dad put out some of his clothes for Phrosty one night because he was sad that he didn't have any of his own. Anyway, I thought someone would find this cute.

I’m so happy that Simogo are finally getting some real press coverage. Their horror game, Year Walk, is an absolute master class in storytelling, visual design,and atmosphere. It’s one of my favorite games of all time and it’s such an underrated gem. Device 6 is a phenomenal puzzle game with an amazing aesthetic and great story. Sailors Dream is an extremely simple and yet beautiful game that tells a very compelling story and has some great music. Beat Sneak Bandit is a fun and quirky rhythm game that visually reminds me a lot of Night in The Woods. All of these games are really good and all of them deserve more recognition (but mostly Year Walk) so if you have an iPhone please for the love of god play more of their games. Year Walk is also available on Steam and WiiU.

Thank you so much for doing the show of the weekend in so many different ways/ places. I know it can't be easy to travel halfway across the world and then do a conference, then record a video, then more traveling, then editing on jet lag.

Has to be one of my favorite openings so far. Thanks for the laughs

Soft pancakes. Crispy waffles. Turns out Ellen knows how to draw a decent Danger Mouse. Excellent.

Show of the Weekend is the perfect short show to relax and get in the mood for simple pleasures and fun. So thank you for producing the show even on a busy week out of the country!

Loved it guys, just seeing your 2 faces and discussing games/topics game adjacent (or not even adjacent!) is all we require. Definitely up for more 'on location' shoots....in an igloo, or spooky forest 'Blair witch' style (but without the shaky camera work!).

The best part of getting off work is a new show of the weeked.

"Slofies." I'm going to curl up in my closet and sob. Shove snacks and water under the door in a couple of hours.

22:28 I never know what you two are talking about, but you are as much a part of my Saturday morning routine as my coffee.

My imaginary friend was Gonorrhea, yes the STD, no I have no idea where I heard the name from but I thought it was the prettiest name ever! I was a strange child.

I feel I should admit that I was watching while sitting on my bed and eating breakfast like a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons like always, so I'd say that comment about Show of the Weekend being part of people's weekend ritual was spot on. That said, I would totally be up for the occasional Show of the Weekend: On Location. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the reflections of passersby in your mirrored sunglasses.

I have to admit, I was never interested in watching gamer related KZread, but your humour is fantastic (and so very British) that I follow your channel, Outside Xbox and Eurogamer, plus Dicebreaker of course, and love everything I can watch. Thank you.

It really is nice waking up and seeing show of the weekend first thing in the morning

I used to imagine giant winged canine-like creatures running along the car, walking with me in the woods or stuff like that. I loved them so much and I’ve even made them a D&D creature; the Wolraven!

First time I watch you guys so early. I'm glad my dog woke me up at 6.45am.

I love the intro. :D Oh, btw, thanks to the oxventurers for introducing me to DnD! I am a long term PnP Fan, but you guys convinced me to buy the DnD Books and start something. I am about to run my first DnD Campagne and I am very excited. :D Keep up the amazing work, guys!

Technology has reached it's final purpose, capturing the slow motion bounce off Luke's hair.

Show of the Weekend is my new Saturday morning cartoons. Thank you!

Ellen's got the right idea with the slowfi hair flip. Loved it!

KZread where is the heart button. Great job guys and the sunglasses were fabulous ^^

Last week's show prompted me to try baking flapjacks. I used Mary Berry's recipe and they were outstanding. A++, will definitely bake again. They're actually kind of similar to a classic baked delicacy here in New Zealand - the Anzac biscuit, a traditional oat biscuit that tends to feature plenty of brown sugar and golden syrup.

IMAGINARY FRIENDS: it was just a small boy called Simon, then I went on holiday to Cornwall and left him there. Forever.

Love the Donut county intro 😂

Not so much an imaginary friend but the imaginary place where they were was a high fantasy elvish kingdom called "dragon d'or". needless to say, the last oxventure (out of order) brought back some old memories of sword-fighting -air- orks with my brother in -the garden- the mighty battlefield

I can't explain to you how happy I was when Ellen started reciting the lyrics to the Danger Mouse theme song. I'm 36 from America and somehow my dad showed me Danger Mouse when i was little and i still love it. Oh eck, Oh fiddle, oh crumbs.

My childhood imaginary friend was Orion (based on the constellation). I still, once in a while, look up at the sky at night and let him know I'm doing alright.

Now i'm sad because i don't remember any imaginary friends at all (did i mention already my memory is realy, realy bad? i don't remember). But as you two are the coolest "kids" i ever knew (not in person sadly) you would make perfect imaginary and non-imaginery friends at the same time (more time spend with Oxtra yey :P) And that's my entry into the comments edition :D Also a Biclop would be a cool (imaginery) friend to have, always watching your back, big and strong to protect you (and with his own lawn mower the size of a small house :P). If you don't know who Biclop is then just watch Mad Jack the Pirate (The Curse of the Blue Karbunkle episode) ... i may have already recommend that one to you on Twitter ... i think i did ...

Not a funny comment. But I had a hard weekend and Watching you guyshas made me feel so much better. You are both wonderfully British and your friendship makes me so happy! (Also my imaginary friend was called the invisible Boy) Thank you, Ellen and Luke, for all you do! -A Fellow Luke!

Aftersun, Luke? Was the trip such short notice that even Vacation Luke with his Tactical Backpack of Suncream was caught unawares?

I don't mind where you are, you are both always so entertaining :)

The trick for Nature Valley bars is having a nice cup of tea nearby for dunking whilst consuming.

I enjoy a little change of scenery every now and then. So this was good. :D Also, Patience vampire, LOL XD

Luke's blue steel look slofie is killing me 😂😂😂😭😭

Three or four year old me had my older cousin draw a character from Tiny Toons. I got mad, sad, and cried when they wouldn't hop off the paper to play with me. Imagination failed that day xD

I liked checking out the background in their glasses

Luke and Ellen where 20 min from where I live and I had absolutely no idea

SOTWE is hightly enjoyed by people who don't know anything about the game, and don't really mind not knowing more afterwards ^^ I love it !

Ellen’s explanation of crunchy flapjacks was darn helpful. I’ve had those Nature’s Valley bars plenty of times. They’re not quite as bad as Grape Nuts breakfast cereal, which I’m convinced is leftover gravel from construction sites, but yeah, they can be hard on the teeth.

I had a whole stable of imaginary horses when I was little. One of them was a unicorn pegasus named Rainbow Sprinkle. When my mom and I went to San Francisco I brought a couple of them along to ride

LOL your flapjack are the idea of the Anzac biscuits, remind me to make a batch and send you some, it make with golden syrup and flour

Loving the sunnies! Also never tried a flapjack but I imagine the hard ones would be quite nice

Ellen said I'd be able to see myself in the reflection of her sunglasses. I look suspiciously like a camera on a tripod.

Things I learned about Luke today: he loves the cronch

i like the Outside Broadcast Show of the Weekend. I'd love to see you guys just go to a local park and do it. Andy, Mike, and Jane can bring the snacks, James can get a little sun. Win-Win.

My imaginary friend was called hogan (im a wrestling fan) and was always ready to help me be a pain for my parents! And thanks for doing a show of the weekend from there. it actually is part of my saturday routine

Slofies? I am Zune-ing out already

I love that outro song. It makes the fact that the show of the weekend is over a little less sad

My imaginary friends were Mr. Nobody, who was sort of a green oval with arms and legs and wore a red hat. He sat in the centre seat when we went on car rides. There was also Mrs. Squeaky, who was a mouse dressed in a sort of victorian night gown and cap, and she lived in places that looked small because of perspective.

My imaginary friend was named Oliver (He went by Oli) and he looked exactly like one of the bomber kids in Majora's mask (Blue bandana for sure). I met him in Costa Rica in 7th grade on a service trip when I was homesick...
