0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super finish it quickly cast~! Paige threatens to send woolie things from THAT folder to woolie if the podcast goes on too long.

1:02 COVID is for real and Pat is NOT a fan.

 - 1:57 So, how the rest of the family, pat? Paige is actually doing better than Pat thanks to getting specific medicine due to her autoimmune disease, while the baby is tanking it. Pat is sure somehow the dog has it.

 - 3:27 The baby not being able to sleep because he’s sick.

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

4:28 Woolie got around to watching The Menu. It's a dark comedy horror movie about a Michelin rated restaurant.

 - 6:48 Woolie always tries to visit one of those fancy places whenever he goes somewhere. The movie is accurate to those places. A reminder on why the tire company rates restaurants.

 - 8:45 “I’ve only eaten fine dining once and it was weird alien shit that tasted like nothing.” Turning things you know into the unfamiliar.

 - 11:28 Food culture and doing things like edible gold foil.

 - - 12:15 Those videos of the sommelier walking around

 - - 12:47 Woolie’s experience with fine dining where there’s actually some great things to taste

 - - 13:58 The critique of fine dining culture subsumes all into itself

 - - 15:12 If you’re going, just get a plate or a meal, rather than the full thing. And Pat taking in person recommendations over professional reviews.

 - - 16:02 What pat thinks of when he hears fine dining.

 - - 17:41 The different categories of fine dining

 - 18:44 The inspiration for the movie.

 - 19:42 this happening during the covid period. And media not really going over that the pandemic happened.

21:30 Mecha Break. It's really fun. The level of focus they’re asking you to have for this game. Go as fast as it feels like they should go.

 - 22:42 Takayuki Yanase and Junya Ishigaki doing the mecha designs. Woolie’s choice of mech

 - 24:10 Small things like a parry window while transforming. panther’s drill and shield parry. The welkin

 - - 26:31 Thresh’s box from league escaping into other games

 - - 27:03 the skyraider. Time to play Ace Combat. The lock on.

 - 28:54 the gameplay feeling a lot like armored core. Speed, juice, and design first.

 - - 31:05 the inferno and after images.

 - 31:54 The comm chat was really active. Almost too much. But if you want a high speed team shooter this is it.

 - 33:47 Pat and the tricera. Learning the counter by playing as them. Balance is not final

 - 36:09 There’s a lot of customization. And the lootboxes in game.

 - 37:30 this being a team shooter setting it apart from other mecha games, and seeing how high the skill ceiling is in this game is. It seems entirely built on mouse and keyboard.

39:54 2XKO. The alpha. It is shocking how it went from simple and easily accessible buttons to this thuggery. Look at all these Touch of deaths! It’s just like the actual league!

 - 42:50 The floor is low. And the autocombo fuse is great. But the skill ceiling is incredibly sweaty. Ahri’s assist being super broken

 - 44:56 the basic combos for most characters. But if you want to really get into it you gotta do some stuff like microwalk. The little extra damage requirements require some real high level tech

 - 47:25 Pat doesnt know what he wants them to change. An example with darius where stuff just works. Things are very lenient

 - - 49:21 the ahri ekko team being extremely broken right now

 - 50:15 this is a FUN game. It has the juice.

 - 51:13 the snap sound and suddenly swapping your block direction, and it gets really fun when you’re doing duos

 - 52:36 The lobby system is nice. Spectating is free. Seeing people online not being a fan of the guilty gear style lobby.

 - 54:48 once the matchmaking is in people probably wont be ToD’d.

 - 55:26 Woolie was surprised by how barebones everything aside from the fighting was. Definitely feels like an alpha

 - 58:04 Woolie feels it’ll probably be winter 2025 at the earliest when it’ll be out. A question of why the development is taking so long. It feeling like a japanese fighting game.

 - 59:26 “it’d be hard to add yordles to the game.” And pat on the safest 16 person roster. How they choose their characters.

 - 1:02:25 Garren, and his sister Lux

 - 1:04:07 There have been no weirdo picks for the roster so far

 - - 1:05:33 woolie recalling how shuma-gorath got added to marvel

 - - 1:06:07 characters as brands like vi and jinx. Pat just wants ONE weirdo to see how they play.

 - - 1:08:06 woolie’s ideas for characters to put in.

 - - 1:12:20 Woolie believes freaks are incoming. If teemo is not in, the game will suck.

 - - 1:13:15 the capability for the best and worst roster ever.

 - - 1:15:23 no one will be happy with the roster

 - - 1:16:05 the world warriors of LoL. Which characters riot likes to use more.

 - - 1:18:25 a character that's better at being a teammate as a possibility.

 - 1:19:17 There has to be in-depth mechanics for people that want to stick with it. And pat’s assuming there’ll be a single player mode

 - - 1:21:20 league and no longer having a story. The league of legends no longer exists in story.

 - - 1:22:30 Give all types of players their due. And more on high level play

 - 1:25:27 the size of the roster and how fast they want to expand it. Tag systems meaning you have to have a larger roster.

 - 1:29:01 The skins tab. There will probably be a lot of those. How much can you customize stuff like win poses?         

 - - 1:31:24 Wild rift

 - 1:32:25 woolie is looking forward to the scrubquotes.

 - 1:33:16 talking about the fuse that makes things simpler

1:34:02 BAAAAYLE! Woolie has hit bayle in elden ring. The two lies they tell you

 - 1:36:21 a worthy mirror to placidusax. And still making fights against dragons unique

 - 1:37:03 the patch to his fight

 - 1:38:15 he still has two of  placidusax’s heads on his back. And igon is straight up just ahab in japanese.

 - 1:40:00 the moment when the music phases out and phases back in for the second phase

1:40:20 go check out yakuza and elden ring on woolieversus!

1:49:09 SPONSOR 4: AWAY LUGGAGE

PAT

1:52:11 Paige trying out typing of the dead. She absolutely kills that game on the hardest difficulty. Paige can push buttons real fast

1:53:56 Pat hit master rank in street fighter. Pat once again in Elo Hell. Woolie has not played a match this season. And diamond 5 crab battle.

 - 1:55:49 getting bison from plat to master without entering training mode. Watching the Bison Guide. Labbing does nothing for Pat. Meanwhile Woolie isn’t as good at improving.

 - 1:59:07 Does pat get to say he’s good at fighting games now? And the big mountain.

 - - 2:01:02 Master rank having an entire ranking set inside itself. And people only having one layer at lower levels

 - 2:03:20 Pat can’t place any lower than diamond. He is trash with everyone not Zangief and bison, so now hes stuck in diamond with every other character. Bison will get nerfed at some point too.

 - - 2:06:55 pat has never been in the position of gravitating toward the tippest toppest tier. “Kens not even that good bro…” And playing grapplers.

 - 2:09:20 Pat got to master rank with a baby and sick. You can do it. And woolie on how to get good.

 - 2:11:25 Terry is going to make a mess of this tier list. He’s going to be strong.

NEWS

2:12:27 Tango gameworks lives. They were bought by krafton, the publisher of Pubg. They rehired everyone.

 - 2:13:58 microsoft basically just bought the evil within IP.

 - 2:15:00 how many team members left? Seems the acquisition was quick so everyone went. And the job market.

- 2:17:20 no effect on the availability of the game. And imagine if the sequel for hi-fi rush came to everything except xbox

2:19:17 the Borderlands movie on track to be the biggest bomb in cinema history

 - 2:20:30 The cope: so you like our games better than the movie, right?

 - 2:22:43 the movie was doomed when cate blanchett was cast as a 20 year old. And Kevin hart as a serious character

 - 2:24:09 the biggest bombs list. The lone ranger is second below john carter

 - - 2:25:30 spirits within and dramatically shifting video games forever

 - - 2:26:47 titan a.e. And movies that bombed you never heard of. And movies you forgot.

2:28:04 the cast of the yakuza TV show did not play the games and were instructed not to to do their own thing.  Pat on avoiding the source material being baffling because then you just pull on other material anyway

 - 2:33:26 pat: this feels like a copout for complaints.

 - 2:34:14 Pat: this’ll be a generic yakuza story without anything that makes yakuza unique.
