Daydreamcast The Twin Geeks

In our cosmic journey in the space between spaces we've came across a luminous being. It's David Punch from the Twin Geeks network! We all missed him, and now it's time to catch up on all the games he's played. Mainly, Balatro and Boktai.
Murph and Bro talk Animal Well, while Bro talks Crow Country. Murph carries a gunbrella, ella, ella, ey, ey, ey.
The variety minute is physical gimmicks or mechanics in gaming, a lot of it is about controllers or add ons but there's some pretty interesting gems in there.

Bro seems to have awaken in a bind. He has amnesia and doesn't remember that he hosts a podcast with his suspicious co-host Murph.
In this episode, they talk about a whole bunch of stuff, like playing poker and playing Lily. Also, Murph plays Dragon's Dogma 2 and isn't sure how to feel about it.
Our game of the week is Harvester, a controversial point and click adventure that Murph loves. Check out this wild ride with us.
