Ep. 7 - Bethesda Hipster

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.

Ep. 6 - Such Indie Death

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 the most boring football game in recent memory. Let's hear it for the Cleveland Browns, though! In this episode: Jonathan plays Dishonored 2 the fun, stealthy way. Logan piles on the hate for Leon from Resident Evil 2 . We talk about two EA published, futuristic shooters- Respawn's Apex Legends and Bioware's Anthem - and what playing them is like. Jonathan sheds a bit of light on Wargroove , the spiritual  Advance Wars  successor from Chucklefish. Lastly, we cover some of the dark side behind the upcoming Activision-Blizzard layoffs.
