Ep. 1 - Pilot

In That Odious Beast, Gaming, Jonathan Nielson and Logan Johnson talk about what they're playing, what games they're looking forward to, and potential red flags they see in the industry. They bring an acceptable amount of wit, amiable natures, and a skeptical attitude toward 'Gamer Culture' as a whole.

In this episode:

Jonathan makes a big reveal about his true feelings for Shadow of the Colossus;
Logan talks about accidentally getting into a relationship in Persona 5;
Jonathan hypes about PUBG's new map, Vikendi;
Logan plays Smash Bros. after a long hiatus from the franchise;
Logan makes some noise about Gris;
Jonathan talks about his anticipation for Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden;
Jonathan downloads the demo for She Dreams Elsewhere;
... That Sonic the Hedgehog poster comes up;
and there's some discussion about Steam vs Epic vs Discord, etc.

We'd like to thank Weird Heat for the use of their track, Nostalgia.
