0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super tragedy cast. Pat remembers when he said during last week's podcast won't be arbitrarily shorter. Unfortunately, it will have to be.

1:42 so, Zangief, pat’s dog, has passed over the weekend after being left at a boarding facility for dogs. The cause of death will be investigated. If you want more details, there were tweets and a wukong stream where he talked about it.

 - 3:40 as for the podcast and streaming, it’ll continue. The house is deadly silent now. Focusing on work.

 - 5:05 thanks everyone for the support. Pat is still feeling upset, depressed, and traumatized from the events.

 - 6:41 there are few extra details pat is willing to offer right now.

7:24 now, time to laugh at concord. Concord is gone now.

 - 8:31 someone asked pat yesterday how long concord will last. Pat bet 6 months. It did not last 1 more day. Go buy astro bot.

 - - 10:09 an explanation on secret level. It’ll have a concord episode.

 - 10:28 the physical copies of concord are still on sale. this could not happen in previous video game generations.

 - 12:10 pat is annoyed at concord for 1 specific reason: it got announced 3 months ago and then got released… which is what pat begs for, but in this case it heavily backfired.

 - 12:52 the absolutely terrible artstyle. The characters looking like 3rd row back guardians of the galaxy extras.

 - 15:00 a good game can look terrible, but the game itself is not fun to play. Destiny PvP but worse.

 - 15:55 the actual nail in the coffin when you are thinking about another game while playing this. Deadlock and marvel rivals. And a reminder this is NOT free compared to the other games.

 - 18:07 content creators, you have 3 days to get footage. Concord only has about 100 people playing. And foamstars is going F2P too.

 - 19:17 Concord as a game no one wanted. A completely served market. The grace period between overwatch and marvel rivals.  

 - 23:42 Concord’s problem is: games take too long to come out. Flawed games with a high budget used to be assassin’s creed 1.

 - 25:37 looking at deadlock. Concord is offbrand nutella.

WOOLIE

27:55 Woolie played 7 hours+ of deadlock. Woolie has gotten comfortable with his palm keyboard, the razer tartarus. Not quite fully supported for controllers.

 - 29:27 someone commenting “Deadlock is fun, but highlights why I hate mobas. Everything takes too long.” And woolie learns about how mobas function.

 - 30:07 so people weren't all too keen on Woolie’s take on Mobas last week. You’ve gotta shit on things from a point of understanding.

 - 33:04 woolie having fun with it and loving making plays.

 - 35:34 Woolie now knows 100% Mobas are not for woolie.

 - - 37:54 why there are different lanes, and the question of if you should even push.

 - 41:03 trying different characters. Checking out lady geist and seven. Feeling yourself dragging down the team.

 - 44:16 wanting to pick up shiv and wraith. And trying out yamato. Abrams. You have a lot less chances to learn the matchups because you are fighting them less.

 - 47:27 decision to fallback and collect XP. and woolie really just wanting to fight the enemy more frequently.

 - 49:20 woolie decided to try going straight to their base as a tactic.

 - 50:10 aesthetic, feel, flow, and style. There's a real element of roughness to it because it's very much in an alpha state. The character design doesnt grab woolie quite yet. Placeholder assets everywhere.

- - 55:58 The only other game that comes close to playing it this early was the skullgirls early builds. Or the Warcraft 3 betas.

 - 56:47 Woolie wants someone with a lot of verticality in the game.

 - 58:06 Looking at the recommended stuff in the shop

 - 58:41 so the genre as a whole is not something woolie isnt into. Pat recommends woolie try out Dota 2 just so woolie sees what kind of insanity they can get to. And seeing the genealogy of games like this.

 - 1:01:52 Woolie has always struggled with the genre even back in warcraft and starcraft.

 - 1:02:47 team play synergy in other games, like full group pulls. Comparing to marvel rivals in general as its temporal contemporary.

 - - 1:07:48 the little gargoyle girl, Ivy

 - 1:08:20 it’ll have a lot of time and money put into it.

 - 1:09:27 woolie has yet to fall in love with a character. And a war of attrition is the main part.

1:10:39 Woolie’s anniversary happened this past week! He tried to go kiting but the weather said no.

 - 1:11:10 woolie went to a nujabes concert.

1:12:34 Dino crisis. Playing the first bit, it's real weird. Exo-primal origins. It's harder than he thought. The dinosaurs will follow you, reloading a save will revive the dinosaurs too, and ammo is strict.

 - 1:15:47 there is no indication of how damaged you are except for seeing yourself bloody. Keeping track of items, the tank controls fighting you especially against fast enemies like the dinosaurs. Woolie’s encounter with a particular QTE.

- 1:20:21 inventory management and mixing. Possible origin of Dead space orb rooms.

 - 1:21:24 Dino crisis exists in a vacuum, especially compared to dino crisis 2. The survival horror equivalent of tony hawk.

1:22:55 Elden ring continues. Smithscript cave found. Finding the golem fist. The 3% drop rate stuff. Pretending to live in a world without the internet.

1:25:07 more elden ring, more dino crisis, and maybe deadlock…? Over on woolieversus! Woolie reiterates hes just not too interested in deadlock.

PAT

1:26:35 Deadpool and wolverine. Having a nice time watching it. Pat wished he wasn’t spoiled on it from ryan reynolds.

 - 1:27:49 It's a character film, because nothing happens. It can only exist RIGHT NOW. Getting ALL the losers.

1:29:39 Black myth: wukong. It’s pretty good. Not an absolute 10/10, but its good. Look at all these bosses.  

 - 1:30:47 Its a weird souls-like. Its like a PS2 action game.

 - 1:31:33 a sequel to journey to the west and assumes you know the story.

 - - 1:33:42 the money is voiced by frieza.

 - 1:33:58 hows this compare to something like stellar blade? Twins in being jank.

 - 1:34:30 the boss fights are really bombastic. They’re cool. But the dubbing is awful.

1:35:09 That’s it for pat. Go check out patstaresat for more space marines 2.

1:35:38 Visions of mana. Pat played it. Said it was awful. Then got asked to do it for a sponsored stream, so he deleted the vods of him saying it was terrible and accepted.

 - 1:36:53 Starting at the beginning. Actually getting into it now that he’s playing from the start. And right as he's playing it he learns the whole dev team got fired.

 - 1:38:51 so ouka studios is the name and they got shut down by NetEase.

 - 1:40:14 a real ps2 games era. Pulling up threads of fate.

1:41:03 once gain, go check out pat over at patstaresat!

NEWS

1:49:50 So, all concord matches are filled by suicidal players trying to get the achievements.

1:50:05 Hideaki Itsuno is leaving capcom. The one behind DMC and Dragons dogma.

 - 1:51:35 the new capcom can probably continue where Itsuno left off. Also Bayo 3

 - 1:54:32 will capcom make another dragon's dogma? Probably not.

 - 1:55:03 the most disappointing thing that could happen is Itsuno makes Angel’s Joy.

 - 1:56:26 a world where the old guard is leaving and new blood is moving in.

1:57:19 congrats to Xbox for getting those marvel collections next year.

1:57:43 enotria the last song’s Xbox port is indefinitely delayed because they cant get ahold from xbox to submit it nor will they return his calls.

 - 1:58:33 Look at all these titles xbox just passed on. 69 billion dollars lost.

2:00:21 randy pitchford: the beatles had a 25% hit rate, a response to the disastrous launch of the borderlands movie and the broken release of the risk of rain 2 expansion.

 - 2:02:00 they completely broke risk of rain 2 with the expansion. Stuff like tying FPS to game physics and deleting your save permanently from plugging in a second controller.

 - 2:03:17 hoppo games now works for valve. Going straight to deadlock probably. And why valve makes hats and skins.

2:06:24 Black ops 6 with proximity chat on human shields, now allows you talk to people when you use them as a shield.

2:10:06 Control 2 will be copublished by remedy and annapurna, and the franchise will expand to film, tv, and more. The question of “will it be an adaptation or a companion narrative?”

 - 2:11:32 they need to have regular actors, but for alan wake, they need to have Ikka Villi act as him but have his VA dub over him.

 - - 2:12:37 sol badguy used to be voiced by daisuke before they got an actual VA.
