Everything To Guppy is a bite-sized, four-times weekly comedy/gaming podcast in which Gary Butterfield (Watch Out For Fireballs) and William Hughes (The A.V. Club) attempt to analyze every single item, boss, character, and concept in the rogue-lite video game The Binding Of Isaac. They manage to pull it off only slightly less than 50 percent of the time.
This month's Dispatch episode features a discussion of mapping systems in games, as part of a broader discussion about friction that used to be charming but is now kind of tedious. We also read your responses about Left 4 Dead 2, Stardew Valley, and Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Dean learns hard lessons about how inescapable the Venture life can be, as he heads to New York for a prestigious internship but has his dreams of independence squashed by his unthinking father. Meanwhile, the Revenge Society attempts to build themselves up under Dean's nose, and Rusty tries to make it big on Broadway with the vanity project to end all vanity projects. A big thanks to this week's guest, Gwen! Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Bra...
Odd are you played it on a demo disk back in the day, but this PlayStation game is better and weirder than you'd expect. Also, heads up, there's a gnarly anecdote about a plumbing accident that gets about as bad as it could possibly get. If you're squeamish, you'll know when to turn things off.

We really enjoyed Grime, and this appendix episode has us reading your thoughts on this indie Soulslvania. I think I'm going to stick with that spelling.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Mirror Layers, League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Gaia Project. The Grind: David: Warframe. Dennis: Halo Infinite Multiplayer. Apex Legends. League of Legends: Wild Rift. Ben: Storybook Brawl. Gloomhaven. Gaia Project. Kole: Mirror Layers. The Multiplayer: Which games nailed, or whiffed, the switch to a different business model? The End Boss: Bobby Kotick knew about rampant sexual abuse at Activision. 70 new games added to Xbox backward compatibility, inclu...

This simple and forgotten game bounces right out of our minds. Fortunately, Kole makes an admission that drives Gary up the wall, and we spend a good deal of time talking about how reasonable it is to preserve your old things.

Even the most soft-boiled detective knows that some mysteries should remain unsolved. That's where Hank messes up when he starts HankCo Superworld in an effort to "get a job" after graduating from "high school", and he ends up play acting as a private eye searching for the truth of Dermot's parentage. And it goes without saying that the answer is disturbing. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer....

We can't lie and say this minigame collection is any good, but we CAN talk about how great the Goosebumps books are. And we can gush about how important kids' horror media was to us when we were young.
This week we conclude our discussion of Grime, the superlative Soulslike where you play as a rock man with a black hole head. We pick up after the Carven Palace and continue running errands for Shidra, before learning the truth of the Coda and our purpose in this world.
What if the 90s were made into a pure, uncut video drug? You'd get GamePro TV. Hosted by J.D. Roth and the contemptible B-Man, this half-hour commercial claimed to be the television version of GamePro Magazine. Listen as we talk about this fever dream of green-screen effects and poorly stretched commentary.

Time was, just saying another character's catch phrase was enough to make people like you. Unfortunately, rapid fire quips aren't enough to save Gex from irrelevance.
Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Gloomhaven, House of Ashes, and we ask you which game protagonist would be the worst friend. The Grind: Ben: Storybook Brawl. Gloomhaven. Jala: Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Dennis: Apex Legends. Kole: House of Ashes. The Multiplayer: Which video game protagonist would be the worst friend in real life? The End Boss: Some maniacs made a 9ft tall Atari joystick. Mirror Layers has a collaborative wiki built in. Back 4 Blood is getting a better solo campaign. Youn...
You givin' me orders? Wings of Liberty and Starcraft 2 in general is the last gasp of a certain kind of RTS and a certain kind of Blizzard game. The last expression of their dumb as nails plotting and finely tuned gameplay outside of mmos and cardgames. This game may be stacked to the gills with story cliches, but it dispenses gamertreats with a consistency almost unmatched, which makes it worth your time, if not your money. What with the monsterism at blizzard.
This week go back to basics by starting up a brutal one-man factory farm in Stardew Valley. This indie successor to Harvest Moon is a phenomenon, with tons of people succumbing to the wide variety of tasks and its charming aesthetic. In fact, the combination of all of the elements is so much greater than the sum of its parts that it manages to make us enjoy certain gameplay elements we wouldn't like in other games. Listen in to hear about life on the farm, or in the mines, or on the docks, or......

Sidekicks, henchmen, butlers, and scientists are being abducted all around the world, and Rusty feels left out. But he likely wouldn't have lasted at the Farm, where Zeus and his general pit the abductees against each other in mortal combat. Thankfully, Henchman 21 has a plan. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer....
Everything To Guppy is normally an improvised comedy show about the Binding Of Isaac. This week, it's a commentary track for Episodes 4.15 and 4.16 (The Gift Pt. 1 and The Gift Pt. 2) of the NBC sitcom Wings. No, they're not on Hulu. This might be the dumbest one we've done. (Note: This extra-big commentary is the only episode we'll be releasing this week. Regular Isaac coverage resumes next week.)
A boring Battlezone clone's hilarious manual sets us off onto talking about business monsters again. You might not believe that Forbes Corporate Warrior exists. You might not WANT to believe that Forbes Corporate Warrior exists. You aren't ready for Forbes Corporate Warrior to exist.
