0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:36 Welcome to the castle super eclipse cast~! So there were some technical issues yesterday… and some hair issues yesterday. Pat has returned to greg mode.

 - 2:30 pat’s baby apparently doesn't care about the hair change

 - 3:23 there was a more than 0% chance of woolie showing up to the podcast blind. The recent trending google search of ‘my eyes hurt.’ Maybe dont stare at the sun. On the total solar eclipse and woolie going to check it out.

 - - 6:35 it was way cooler than woolie expected.

 - - 8:25 eclipse chasers. And the word chaser.

 - - 10:04 eclipses are pretty cool. Why there’s a lot of stuff referencing it and them being a sign from the gods.

 - - 11:17 if you know someone that went somewhat or totally blind, are you obligated to feel bad? And when you KNOW it's time to stop looking

 - - - 13:30 castle super beast says: dont look at the sun. unless you have the right equipment

 - - 14:20 a cool “‘I'll drive a few hours for it” type of event.

 - - 15:11 pat’s disinterest in it. A ‘you had to be there’ hater.

 - - 16:16 learning the physics behind it. The moon being the perfect size.

 - - 17:52 science is cool. Adulthood beating the wonder out of you. Meanwhile Pat will soon be able to lie to his kid for a laugh. Scientific discovery slowing down.

 - - - 20:46 planet earth in 4K

 - - - 21:30 pat wanted to be an astronaut.

 - - - 22:54 Remember little miss sunshine? On dreams that cannot be accomplished. And being on the moon.

 - - - - 25:19 hiking and getting to a spot being the payoff. Inari shrine.

 - - - - 26:09 woolie being a fan of saying screw you to gravity.

 - - - 27:02 pats baby > eclipse for pat.

WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS

PAT

27:32 So, pat smashed his phone to bits. Destroying the screen under the glass from a fall.

 - 29:54 pat’s getting a new phone next week. He’ll be throwing some phone games on there.

30:13 more dragon’s dogma 2. Defeating all of the sphinx’s riddles. Best encounter in the game. And the riddles themselves.

 - 32:16 Itsuno looked at illusionary walls and went ‘that's GREAT.’ And one particular door.

 - 35:44 Pat having so much fun playing it, and the further he gets into it the more he feels its unfinished.

 - 37:07 Woolie’s sessions have been stopping whenever the game crashes, then he switches to helldivers, then when that crashes he switches to balatro.

 - - 38:25 the frequency of the autosaves, and getting your house.

 - - 40:20 the stuff pawns bring back

 - 41:12 woolie getting through the dark spots on the map

 - 41:51 the item cloning shop

 - - 43:48 can you forge beggars clothing? The beggar quest

 - - 47:27 the NTR quest, and the shadowy person following you quest.

 - - 49:49 a quest suzi talked about in her review, a griffin she killed too fast.

 - 50:33 where did woolie the pawn go?! And him being gone for a dragon fight.

 - 52:46 its cool that its like this, but why is it like THIS? The sorcerer skill Maelstrom. Bait things away from the cart.

 - 54:10 the drakes.

 - - 56:41 woolie having a unique experience by going at it with non-melee units. The non-melee classes.

1:00:45 how much have you been playing helldivers, woolie? Level 15 Getting the jetpack. The warbonds.

 - 1:02:26 Playing on challenging. The higher difficulties.

 - 1:05:06 The laser

 - 1:06:18 strategems people never seem to use. And minor balance changes every patch.  

 - 1:08:23 have you memorized the button presses for the stratagems?

 - 1:09:09 So, when’s that 3rd faction? Talking about datamined content.

 - - 1:10:58 so, if you look at the map, there’s enough room for a 4th faction…

 - 1:12:06 this is a smaller game than woolie thought it was. The live campaign map makes it seem bigger. And pat wonders how much of the game was finished before it shipped, because they keep introducing solutions to problems players had.

 - 1:13:39 what were the illuminate like in helldivers 1? The not-protoss

1:14:49 go check out pat over at patstaresat! Finishing off infinite wealth! Meanwhile woolie’s hoping back on helldivers with reggie tomorrow. A full squad of four.

 - 1:17:07 reggie has not played any on his own. And reggie being another Woolie. The different levels of people that play video games.

 - - 1:20:50 industry following

 - - 1:23:04 Woolie can get it now. Understanding survival horror now. Pat’s own attempts at expanding his horizons with league.

 - - - 1:26:35 pat recommends everyone try one week of league. Look at those lows!

 - - - 1:28:11 woolie and character design driven games. And binary domain. Woolie being absolutely uninterested in deadly premonition.

 - - - 1:30:54 pat remembers his 41 hours of starfield. And that was that he played it, not anything else about it. Comparing to how much he remembers of skyrim.

 - - - 1:33:35 Pat’s not a fan of management sims. Satisfactory being an expectation due to the perspective.

 - - - 1:36:31 unappealing artstyle. Pat will never play arknights.

 - - - 1:39:30 woolie has nikke: goddess of victory on his phone.

 - - - 1:41:00 deadly premonition grabbed pat somehow

 - - - - 1:42:00 its spooky in the pacific northwest

 - - 1:58:53 the strangers of paradise optimize gear button
