On this week’s episode of the OK Beast Podcast, the crew discusses Google’s new Stadia streaming platform which leads to a bigger discussion about YouTube’s policies, rules, and infrastructure. Alex and Blessing share their impressions of The Division 2, which they are both enjoying more than they thought they’d be. Lastly, the guys recap Nintendo’s recent Nindies Highlight video which brought the announcement that Cuphead is coming to Nintendo Switch in April.
