That Odious Beast, Gaming is a show about video games, the fans who play them, and the people who make them. This week, it's also about making friends who love a game you've never played, and feeling a moderate amount of pressure to try it out. In this episode: Logan starts in on Skyrim , just a few short years after its release in 2011; Jonathan struggles to find joy in the challenging and time consuming final levels of Wargroove; We spend entirely too much time fearing the old blood; Jonathan talks about some of the improvements (and backsteps) that Apex Legends brings to the Battle Royale genre, and Logan ruminates on his ineptitude for shooters; We discuss the many rounds of layoffs, including the particularly gruesome decisions made by Activision executives in recent weeks.
