- 1:31 Woolie’s been drinking a bunch of water recently, got a bunch of water bottles after his building’s water got shut down and now feels like, hey, drinking this much water isn’t so bad
- 2:36 stockpiling water due to societal collapse, having an idea when it’ll all collapse
- 4:54 society of doomed, pat googled how do (linux) pipes worked. The word python taken by the coding language
- - 6:04 coding is hard, making stuff is hard
- - 7:06 pat installed an ubuntu partition once, the comfort of windows
- - 8:10 IOS
- 9:00 Being exhausted, going to bed late and waking up surprisingly early. Never go to bed early, just procrastinate

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS
PAT
12:08 the new control DLC: AWE caused pat to play the previous DLC, the foundation. What he’s heard on the new DLC
14:02 Embarking of setting up a PS3 for recording purposes. Time for the trials and tribulations, starting from HDMI to component converters
- 15:52 HDMI splitters and not being able to turn off HDCP. Needing the absolute cheapest HDMI splitters
- - 19:55 notice any quality drops on the split? The hallmark of cheap equipment
- - 21:20 how’s you wiring setup pat? And how things are supposed to look like outside elgato/capture devices
- - 22:55 sugoi dekai, as god intended. And the reality of large chests that totally doesnt exist IRL
- - 24:16 changing the brightness setting with a capture device plugged in, and RE7’s strange brightness with capture cards issue
- - 25:21 the HDMI dreamcast convoluted game capture setup, the XBox as an HDMI splitter
- 27:01 can now stream. Lets check out the Ps3 store- OH GOD IT SO TRASH. Easily the worst console eshop
- - 30:06 the Epic store is so trash. Still havent gotten around to fixing some glaring issues. Woolie doesnt even consider it a shop from lack of functionality
- - - 32:30 control’s release for steam, and metro sold more in the first week on steam than in the entire year on epic. Control is on sale for 30 dollars in the US and 50 in canada. the multiplayer is non-existent for epic
- - - 34:49 would you still play hades off the epic games store if you didnt have a stream obligation, woolie? How about other games
- - - 36:32 the origin store is actually functional in comparison, and the failure of the microsoft store, installing folders you cannot get rid of
- - - 39:47 the two storefronts worth using: steam and GOG. battlenet sucks, and forcing world of warcraft down your throat.
- - - 40:49 call of duty’s massive patch sizes, and walking into the epic store but the lights shut off when you go in. Pat gets another bug upon opening the epic store again
- - - 43:34 is there a web version of the epic store? an d the viability of locking games to the epic store for a while while the store itself is trash
- 45:13 PS3 works, doing a supergiant marathon, dont run bastion at 4K
46:51 pupper zangief is fat and stinky and little. The cat taunting the dog
- 48:48 everyone wants to kiss the dog, who knows if the dog ate the poop? Or if pat ate the poop?
- 50:15 pat doesnt want to buy used clothes for that reason. What if they ejaculated on them? And pre-roughed up jeans.
51:32 go check out pat over at patstaresat on twitch, twitter, and youtube! Doing the control DLC and was going to do tony hawk, but then he’d have to play the game mute
- 52:36 bam is dead in tony hawk 1+2, what if this is not tony kawn 1+2, but 1+2R?
- 54:17 fuggins hates bam margera
- - 55:20 pats brother is basically bam margera, and making money off being a terrible son, just being a terrible asshole
- - 57:48 woolie doesnt understand how they could be so terrible to their parents, and bam and tom green are to white people as white people are to everyone else
- - 58:46 playing pranks on black parents vs. what bam does
- - 1:01:08 woolie, will you be the black parent or the regular parent? Wait, no that's screwed up, will you be like your mother or toned down?
WOOLIE
1:02:59 finished the MK11 tourney, played some more injustice 2. Injustice 2 being unoptimized for PC. (apparently it might just be denuvo)
- 1:06:02 using parsec to make it easier for people to join. Playing for glory will be online, playing for fun will be using parsec
- 1:08:00 how is parsec compared to actual delay based games? Its as good as you can get without rollback, and host advantage
- 1:10:33 seeing dlc characters like the turtles and hellboy, looking for a new main after solomon grundy, true underdawg gaming’s solomon grundy video, playing swamp thing. Warner brothers copyright claiming the injustice 2 soundtrack
- 1:12:23 how they implemented the ninja turtles, needing to equip them as separate iterations, can only use 3 of the 4
- - 1:14:46 apparently woolie might be wrong according to chat, unlocking a 4th slot, and unlocking a slot would be a nightmare for tourneys where you need this unlocked to have everything for the players
- - 1:17:38 seeing how injustice turned out vs. how MK11 turned out.
1:19:05 wanting to play some poverty dong dong version touhou, but that didnt work out, so punch planet it is. Great netcode, style, and character design
- 1:20:14 roy being the most generic character but still looking great
- 1:21:16 two more characters with some power silhouettes
1:21:48 not much else this week. Still working on secret projects. The triathlon video got memed to hell and back.
1:22:36 go check that video and more out on woolieversus on twitch, twitter, and youtube! Playing some more tsushima, ryuzo is a biiiiitch, the ancient japanese samurai scrubquote
- 1:23:54 combat is real now, fighting other samurai, and opening the second compartment of the influencer box, getting the mask and the difficulty of getting the armor in game
- - 1:25:10 woolie pulls out the mask which audio listeners cant see, and a guy walking around montreal with a plague mask or spiderman mask
- 1:25:57 playing through paper mario and playing through halo reach

1:29:27 SPONSOR 2: FUBOTV
NEWS
1:32:18 Gamescom… Stuff was apparently shown off. Hey, check out the FORD GAMER CAR (is this an acceleracers silencer?)
1:34:16 Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad, the discovery of the secret underground evil organization UMBRA. Get some heroes and criminals with attitude to stop the big black fist in the sky
- 1:37:05 they’re attacking world leaders on social media! Oh no!
- 1:37:55 put a pin in that. Question: how long does the average ubisoft game take to make? How many meetings took place between then and now over this game’s direction?
- 1:40:53 the villains in other tom clancy games
- 1:43:01 finally saying the name of the game, Tom Clancy’s elite squad, and this game seeing a bit too on the money and did they not expect people to react like this?
- 1:45:17 activision having reagan in the game “doesnt mean anything”, press nothing to ravage the hood with crack or press F to ignore the aids crisis. Ubisoft pushing activision out of the way as the new controversy hotness ← PODCAST TITLE HERE
- 1:46:57 this has been in development for over a year, cant be about current events, especially since it’s french. Too much benefit of the doubt because France loves riots, and Ferguson was about 2014
- 1:49:14 reading the future but accidentally landing too on the nose, and not trying to fix it
- 1:50:33 the name of the organization is UMBRA, pretty much a synonym for black, and woolie on how the hell the narration passed HR
- 1:51:59 pat finds a screenshot of the division 2 that isn’t ‘political’
- 1:53:52 the audiences that this plays toward, and ubisoft riding the line of politics and ‘screw that energy’
- - 1:55:29 does sam fisher lighting up a protest line give you a chub? How about Umbra agents going all in on evil like shooting an old lady and her dog?
- - 1:56:36: the division: the food scavengers not doing anything other than being hungry. Foxcade digging up old article that says “we’re investigating political issues in a totally non-political way.”
- - 1:58:26 world history is hilarious, the world wars being easy team games vs. the modern games being unable to escape political issues
- - 1:59:54 what if an organization called UMBRA actually popped up? An example with Archer’s ISIS
- 2:01:22 Elite Squad is apparently pretty bad, wont load or work properly. How long till UMBRA kicks a puppy? How long till tear gas isn’t enough?
- - 2:02:32 what about the countdown to criminals on our team being victims of circumstance? Pat says no way. Send in the suicide squad
- 2:04:35 stop being cowards, game companies - pat. And woolie misses articles like ‘there was a paid flashmob that said hail umbra’
- - 2:06:50 the fake christian protest against dantes inferno
- 2:08:11 the sound of call of duty being pushed out of the way, and vaguely posting about elite squad and watching your mentions
- 2:09:24 do you want to hear ubisoft’s take on political unrest? Are the villains not just DEDSEC?
- - 2:11:37 Watch dogs players vs. Elite Squad players. WELCOME TO THE UBISOFT MICROTRANSACTION WAR ECONOMY
2:13:47 DBZF got an update: if you rage quit, you get banned for a week, and if you continue to rage quit, you get banned for good. If you have red bar internet, please check your settings
- 2:14:32 some more news on elite squad: jason schreier on internal ubisoft: the director and manager behind elite squad was seemingly put there by nepotism as the son of one of the CEO
- - 2:16:38 the guy behind monster hunter is the son of the CEO of capcom, but he is doing great. How about colin hanks?
2:17:46 What the hell is serious sam? getting into the popemobile, actually a giant mech, and shoot the monsters. Cast in the name of god, ye not guilty
- 2:20:18 why pat got into xenogears
- - 2:21:58 how do you outdo SMT punching out god?
- 2:22:31 what will the rest of serious sam 4 be?
- 2:23:21 Eli put up a sexy drawing of taokaka (when’s bullet? Never cause she’s irrelevant? Ok…. T~T)
2:24:03 Bushiden, a real ninja gaiden/contra-y feel
2:24:51 Transient, a cyber lovecraftian game
2:26:30 doom eternal the ancient gods DLC trailer, Dusk composer now doing the music. You can play the DLC without the main game
- 2:27:44 other mini-buy games like case zero and freedom’s cry
2:29:08 Scarlet Nexus, totally not code vein
2:30:21 Genshin Impact, the anime breath of the wild-ish game
- 2:31:28 the reaction to the game when it was first shown off, seems like a superficial comparison
- 2:32:59 but what if its actually a huge breath of the wild ripoff? Pat would appreciate a few of those
- 2:34:22 Mihoyo, the company behind it, and what else they’ve made
- 2:35:14 for every anime, there are a thousand more animes you haven't seen. Anime has left castle boomer beast behind
2:38:12 Lord of the rings: gollum. Is the story good enough to follow through on…? Why not make an Ent game?
- 2:40:18 sexy shelob
- 2:41:52 eric andre and his new stand up special, and woolie calls the stalk from saga as best spider lady. Not even quelaag, woolie?
2:43:44 Quantum error, another tone trailer. Pat thought it was doom 3.
2:45:03 Ratchet and Clank with some ‘new’ gameplay, just the exact same thing again. Ended on that
2:45:52 age of empires is back, competitive age of emirates is strong, age of empires 3
- 2:47:16 two new races, the inca and the swedes. They’re called Civs. Will be cross platform
- 2:48:20 did you ever get into Civilization, woolie? And world of warcraft 3
- 2:50:45 the car cheat
- 2:51:17 the rise and fall of RTS, evolving into MOBA, and other games and their evolution paths
- 2:53:20 the golden era of RTS, and warcraft 1 and 2, starcraft
- - 2:54:10 ever play the dawn of war games?
2:55:23 Override 2, got a cinematic robot trailer
2:55:52 chorus, reminds woolie of aces of the galaxy and project sylpheed
2:57:07 12 minutes, 12 minute timelopp in your apartment. Also, other people remembering you doing something but you not remembering it even remotely
- 2:58:51 pat feels if the camera changes just a little from its default top down view would be amazing
- 3:00:14 timelopping as a video game mechanic
- 3:01:10 a research article where using big words is low intelligence vs. smaller words are high intelligence. The Jamaican smart accent
- - 3:03:06 living in a place where everyone sounds like you do so its not a novelty, switching your voice to something else
- - - 3:04:32 HEY
- - - 3:04:56 forgetting the conversation line, and the british accent and spelling vs. american spelling suck as with paycheck vs paycheque
EMAILS
3:07:51 Emails! Send you emails to castlesuperbeastmail@gmail.com! Pat requests scones and british food like canned bread
3:08:50 rest in peace, chadwick boseman, acting through the diagnosis

- 3:11:07 not saying anything and this news being sudden hitting personally

3:21:35 any rules you ignore or change to maximize fun?
