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. 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.) You can find us on Twitter at @loganmathew401 and @JonathanNielson
