Ep. 2 - Jonathan is the God of War

Welcome to 2019, everybody! At That Odious Beast, Gaming, we're back, and ready to roll into a new year of good vidya games. But first, let's take a moment to talk about what we liked- and maybe didn't like (lookin' at you, Battlefield V war stories)- from the year that just escaped silently into the night.

In this episode:

Jonathan talks about his time with Avalanche Studios' Mad Max, and Logan misses a pun he really wanted to make.

Logan dives deep into Subnautica talk.

We take a look at the verb-puzzle presented by Motion Twin's Dead Cells.

Jonathan ruminates on the big yikes that is The Last Tiger.

And then, we dive into a list of everything we played in 2018. Stay with us, because there are some good ones. (And, in Jonathan's case, several that weren't as good.)
