0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super Xbob cast~! This is what your legacy has been reduced to, microsoft, a googly eyed mascot. John Garvin, writer of Days Gone, throwing a fit over references in astro bot. The guy that sony made get anger management.

 - 2:40 So astro bot is out. Pat’s PS5 died from peak (actually the heat) trying to play it. Astro bot is amazing. And the tweet John garvin put out in question about deek promoting the game.

 - 4:30 days gone was the motorcycle zombie game, right? And Mighty keef’s response to that tweet. The voice actor for deek chiming in about wanting to buy the game now.

 - 6:29 digging into why this guy is so upset. On how much days gone sold and their internal studio metrics saying it didn't sell enough. It was all those woke reviewers, you hear?!

 - 8:33 and somewhere in there is the anger management classes he was forced to take, allegedly. And apparently he may have gotten into NFTs at some point

 - - 9:12 peter molyneux: AI will soon be good enough to make your own game with just a prompt

 - 9:49 Look at how much this game upsets him. Think about how much actually upsetting things must upset him. And putting everyone in there. All the warriors are in the game.

 - 11:01 Sony released a smash hit instant hit classic everyone is here platformer before nintendo. Sony has no IPs! According to Sony itself, they just don’t have enough IPs!

 - 12:55 Sony and not passing out IPs, locking in IPs to specific studios. Playstation all-stars and having no support.

 - - 16:37 so how is astro bot? Is it good? Pat finds it amazing. His one complaint is that it's super easy, but he’s only played the first 3 levels.

 - - 17:45 Woolie wants to check it out.

  - 18:20 Pat wants the entire reason there is no days gone 2 being John Garvin. And how apparently the anger management classes did nothing.

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

WOOLIE

20:02 Woolie played a bit more deadlock. GAME CLOSED GO HOME. why is the game down at 3 pm? Pat’s thought on why.

 - 22:58 pat with a food analogy. Letting you taste the spoon when walking into your friends kitchen while they’re still cooking it. And a new Dev build practically every day.

 - 25:11 woolie tried out haze. Getting some nice backseat tips from chat.

 - 27:31 why are mobas so popular?! Because they are free. And probably because of the RTS bones. A large proportion of the game is PvE, meaning you get pulled in gently. Only needing to be good at a certain part of the game to do your part.

 - - 32:21 Titanfall’s difficulty and why bots exist in it.  

 - 34:56 efficiently lane pushing.  

 - - 35:41 split pushing

 - 37:08 Not dying is the most important.

 - 38:47 shopping quickly

 - 41:14 Deadlock’s priority character select making it a lot more enjoyable

 - - 44:14 Comparing to marvel rivals. And playing Haze and seven in deadlock.

 - 46:32 playing abrams. And learning about sliding.

 - 48:33 deadlock being a shooter makes it more approachable

 - 49:17 so that’s coming out this week on woolieversus! are you trying out that toxicity yet? Can you imagine a teenage boy sending death threats over this game? If not, keep working on it.

50:34 Dino Crisis continues. It's still so weird. The reason they’re such a pain is because there are only a few dinosaurs. One clear issue: all panic is good panic, including ones that obscure clarity. An example with walking dead season 2.

 - 54:38 the T-rex showing up and the rules changing. The helipad fight.

 - - 56:46 Pat’s advice: these games were designed around wasting ammunition.

 - - 57:40 how do you get across this type of thing properly?

 - 59:23 The game looks way worse than resident evil 1, 2, and 3 because they were using early 3D for everything.

 - 1:00:19 1 more session and a quick recap on panic game design.

 - 1:01:07 what RE3 and dino crisis look like next to one another. And that camera shot in silent hill

1:02:36 The dragon ball fighter Z patch dropped. The kusoge patch. Congrats on escaping being an e-sport. Do not go gentle into that good night, rage and sparking burst against the dying of the light. The game is now MUGEN.

 - 1:03:28 the eventual life cycle of fighting games, and DBFZ saying fuck that. They have freed the limiters and made the game even more dragonball-like.

 - 1:06:24 pat: what if we turned the game into a completely different fighting game? They were right to do so, but the change is so dramatic that a lot of people are having severe dissonance.

 - 1:08:09 the game went from silence to “have you seen this crazy shit?!” And there’s some cool stuff in it now aside from the wacky stuff, but holy shit the wacky stuff is wacky.

 - - 1:09:26 UI goku’s heart punch is full screen. Look at all these full screens!

 - 1:10:58 a lot of this crazy stuff is locked behind the sparking system. The characters can do fun stuff without sparking, but with it it's insane. Gohan Blanco is basically here.

 - 1:12:55 Pat’s single popcorn kernel of empathy for those people that played high level DBFZ and were disappointed by the patch. No, you can't change virtua fighter.

 - 1:13:37 Woolie hopes more games do an omega mode, perhaps making it optional.

 - 1:14:42 how do you even make a tier list with this if everyone has a touch of death? Broly needs that meter bro. The mentality of “what should this character be able to do? Put it in.”

 - 1:16:11 Luke as the future of street fighter. Pat wants them to do the same and say this patch is the future of all dragon ball games. And the idea of “a new dragon ball game” vs. “new dragon ball fighter Z game”

 - - 1:18:04 you dont want dragon ball: the breakers?!pat feels the concept is too strong.

 - 1:19:40 The impressiveness of how far they’re willing to take it. Because it is hard to tell which ones are fake and which ones are real. There was only 1 that was fake, the broly stomp combo one. Lythero gets so much more content now!

 - 1:20:51 you can swap between rollback to delay. Gaming Goku is on delay.

 - 1:22:28 touch of deaths can exist in team games.

1:23:23 Working on the last joker in balatro. Make a hundred million chips in 1 run.

 - 1:23:55 stop playing, the game is coming to mobile. It is a threat to your life.

 - 1:25:16 woolie doesn't want to lose his save progress… but in THIS game it's fine.

1:26:27 James Earl Jones, voice of darth vader and mufasa, has passed away at 93.

 - 1:27:50 the new darth vader voice, from chad vader day shift manager. And him possibly selling his voice for AI.  

 - 1:29:02 The ‘live action’ lion king. They're not real lions. They’re also making a second one. And the straight to VHS sequels.

1:31:32 SPONSOR: FACTOR

1:33:40 SPONSOR 2: HENSON SHAVING

PAT

1:37:28 baby update: he’s standing straight up! And the helping toddler phase.

 - 1:39:01 baby is still looking for the dog.

1:39:18 as for video games, Warhammer 40k: space marine 2. Pat got the game free. It is a good game. It takes its subject matter more seriously than its existence as a game.

 - 1:40:50 does the scaling in starcraft apply to warhammer? How do the orks scale? The power of a single space marine and orks being a swarm race.

 - 1:44:55 space marine 2 as a better space marine 1. Except now you fight tyranids.  

 - 1:46:57 a basic encounter in the game. A balance of melee and shooting.

 - - 1:48:12 the tyranids are also shooting you with smaller tyranids that shoot even smaller tyranids.

 - 1:49:13 it has a solid campaign with a dry, utilitarian story. There are no smiles here.

 - 1:51:19 the space marines are blue. The ultramarines are the boring basic faction.

 - - 1:54:28 the villain gets to have a laugh. Because you go from the interesting enemies to the chaos space marines, like in every 40k game. The bugs are more fun to fight. The chaos marines are better in 2 tho.

 - 1:57:32 the campaign is awesome, who cares for narrative and story? An excuse to engage to shoot more bugs. And lore to prop up how cool shooting stuff is.

 - 1:59:26 pat spoils the gist of the plot. Chaos space marines love being evil.

 - 2:00:31 So there’s no real good faction, is there? Pat talks about to tau and them getting retconned.

 - 2:02:16 time to flood the subreddit with 40k. The game has the biggest coolest battles. Look at all these bugs! What kind of encounter would 20 marines fight? Escalating to a firing line into hell.

 - 2:07:00 the final boss is awesome. And how much is previous lore and how much is ongoing events? Pat and the horus heresy chart.

 - 2:10:58 one minor campaign problem: they build up fighting a 3rd faction, which you dont. And the multiplayer mode. It is not excellent, but it's pretty good.

 - 2:12:34 the other multiplayer mode. The secondary co-op campaign. They’re really good. 3 8/10s together to make a 9/10

 - 2:14:40 these are different devs compared to the first game.

 - 2:15:40 the upcoming horde mode, more enemies, and the multiplayer space marine customization. You can go nuts on the customization.

 - 2:17:18 optional modes that are solid are rare these days

 - 2:18:17 the game is cool, but it doesn't run the best. But you can get why it's not running great.

2:18:57 astro bot is pretty good.

2;19:21 Go to patstaresat for more cool stuff! Satisfactory 1.0 is coming out! Hollowbody, and castlevania dominus collection

NEWS

2:20:37 already gone into astro bot and days gone, so time to move to the next bit. There’s a sony PS5 news thing tomorrow.

 - 2:22:00 on the current state of VR. And the wall of VR not being sunglasses.

 - 2:24:27 the killer app in half life alyx. Except theres nothing after that. There needs to be a persistent thing to sell it

 - 2:25:48 how many people get sick playing VR games? 40~70% in 15 minutes. Woolie can last an hour using google maps.

 - - 2:27:40 pat:even if it was sunglasses, wireless, and comes with fortnite 2, if it made kids throw up its dead. Biology might not allow this tech.  

 - - 2:29:44 Not many got to use the virtual boy. Everyone got a migraine from it

 - 2:32:00 woolie still believes the end result will be VR/AR with the real world with stuff on top.

2:33:47 the minecraft movie trailer is out. Time to hire this man now. The record of ‘its not for you it's for kids.’ And what's the gain/loss on making this animated vs. making this live action?

 - 2:37:45 kids are going to tear this movie apart. And minecraft kids are now minecraft adults. The excuse of ‘just a kids movie’ falls apart quick.

 - 2:39:47 woolie thought the new jumanji movie was real big.

2:43:40 lets run it back, fyre fest 2. All press is good press, right? After getting out of jail, it's time for a runback.

 - 2:46:06 its happening next april. People will check it out. Pat saying ahead of time: you’re a dumbass, you shouldn’t have gone, what were you doing? Also, what about all those employees that never got paid?

2:47:50 will you be watching the superbowl? Kendrick Lamar at the superbowl. There’s rumblings of Drake gearing up for round 2.

 - 2:51:22 pat: they should just play the background music and let the crowd sing it.

 - 2:52:51 drake would earn some respect if he went to the superbowl and they cut to him in the stands listening.

 - 2:53:47 mogh beat the allegations while drake could not

2:54:26 baldur's Gate III ‘final’ patch. There’s more patches. Evil endings are so terrible they can’t be streamed. And an in game mod browser. What if X character was a gnome?

 - 2:57:24 the most popular mods are better interface and removal of the party limit

 - - 2:58:56 a mod to tune the difficulty to the unlimited party is coming soon.

 - 3:01:27 a minor change to the dark urge. The bard will join your party and you can control and level them up.

 - 3:02:10 they changed splitscreen. It’ll split and combine. And also there's still some more stuff they want to add

 - 3:03:08 the mod browser is great. And mod support across PC and console.

3:04:30 emails! Send your emails to castlesuperbeastmail@gmail.com!

3:04:53 What food or things do you hate that you think you’d like if you tried the good version first. What is a cold cut?

3:17:15 love live school idol festival 2, announcing it and also announcing its shut down date in the same tweet. Living 6 times longer than concord. A fly outlived concord.

 - 3:19:20 the weekly cutscenes concord was supposed to have. Look at all this burned money.

 - 3:24:37 the premium skins

 - 3:28:34 gene’s review: the primary mode sucked

3:28:51 daigo ikeno could have saved concord

3:28:59 END OF PODCAST: end of theme of slayer; korean
