In this episode Gino, Billy, and Pete discuss Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. We cover the game's unique control scheme and how it manages to make rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time work for a few hours. We then discuss the game's great environments and wordless character building. We wrap up by discussing how effectively Brothers addresses loss, it's not so subtle misogyny, and how it mechanizes moving on.
