Andy catches up with Marko in this super chill episode of Beyond Synth, where they dive into all the usual nonsense — candy cravings, weird chocolate bar names, and the eternal mystery of Tim Hortons. There’s also a solid chunk of video game talk: Marko dishes on finishing Baldur’s Gate 3, Robocop, and Evil Within 2 (aka “the milk game”), while Andy finally gets deep into Metal Gear Solid V and rants about how good old games still look and play today. They bond over overpriced game releases, modding drama, and how emulators often outdo the actual companies. Of course, it’s all soundtracked by killer synth tunes! just two buds talking games, music, and life.
