#39: Some games are just better than others at conveying emotions through gameplay. We played the mobile game Florence and were floored by its ability to make you feel something through game mechanics. We talk about other games as well this week but Florence takes center stage.

*Check out GT Radio, the original Geek Therapy podcast.
