Ep. 4 - Everything is a Verb

Here at That Odious Beast, Gaming, we're starting to get into the swing of weekly episodes, so put on some headphones, sit by the fire, and cozy up with a hot beverage while we discuss some good, some bad, and some ugly in vidya games this week.

In this episode:

Logan discovers the use for the circle button while playing Bloodborne;

Jonathan muses on the ultimately disappointing plot resolution provided by Mad Max;

 Logan throws around love for Life is Strange like it's going out of style;

Jonathan finally gets his PUBG patch, which includes canted sights, a loot cave, and Aurora Borealis;

We take a close look at the labor practices behind Slime Rancher, using Patrick Klepek's article as a guide.
