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 week we talk about Warlocked, the tiny RTS that kind of could. That's right... they made a real time strategy game for the Game Boy Color and it actually works, although it doesn't feel like your usual strategy game. We also talk about a horrifying video involving a toilet.
Our discussion of the Demon's Souls remaster continues with some in-depth looks at the changes made to Stonefang Tunnel and the Tower of Latria. How does the redesigned Armor Spider change that fight? How does the new music fail the Fool's Idol? All is contained inside.

This month, we settle in for a light topic... how food is depicted in games. We talk about how it can convey the story of a location, or augment a game's mechanics. We also answer your questions and read your responses to April's games. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

You ever looked at an owl and thought, "Gee, I wonder what kind of kingdom and warriors that owl belongs to?" The truth is that it's a very dumb creature which we've anthropomorphized, and all it cares about is where and when it will find its next vole.
Chris has a problem, which Michael is trying to solve, but now they both have a problem. Michael wants his estranged friend to quit drugs, and the only way he can think to accomplish this is to chain him to a pipe for seven days and make him quit cold turkey. Chris obviously hates this. And over the course of those seven days, Chris and Michael don't just have to deal with unhinged drug dealers and heavies from reservation security, but a menacing force that seems to be goading them along into a...

Jinkies and or zoinks, it's groovy! This penultimate episode of the second season introduces us to the Groovy Gang, a parody of the cast of Scooby Doo that's all mixed up with famous killers and criminals from the counterculture. They stumble across the Venture Compound and hijinks ensue, while Rusty plays god and Brock has doubts about his path in life. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer....

To celebrate episode 400 of Abject Suffering, we dip into some Steam crapware, based entirely on its funny name. Last of Ass has nothing to do with The Last of Us, instead being a low-effort take on Slender: The Pages meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You're trapped on the land of some goddamn cannibals, and you need to sneak around to get the parts you need to fix your car. That's it.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about It Takes Two, Saviorless, and we ask you to pitch games for villains. The Grind: Jala: Moons of Madness. Hitman. Saviorless. Ben: qomp. It Takes Two. Kole: It Takes Two. Mother 3. Dennis: Slay the Spire. Hades. The Multiplayer: Make a game for a villain! The End Boss: EndeavorRx is a video game that might help with COVID brain fog. Sony reverses course, won’t shut down the PS Vita or PS3 online stores. There’s going to be a game about power washing. Valve f...
What do you do when you've told the story of the cabin twice? You tell it a third time! Ash goes back to the cabin for basically no reason, and gets into bad Resident Evil clone hijinks that are pretty much devoid of the humor from the movies.

Diplomacy is the heart of one of the best episodes of this season. The Monarch has fallen into a slump, and it's up to Dr. Henry Killinger and his Magic Murder Bag to consult the archvillain back to the top of his game. Meanwhile, the boys are kidnapped by Myra, an obsessive former bodyguard who believes that she is their mother. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer....
This week, Everything To Guppy takes a break from its usual item-by-item conversation to do a deep dive into all the new ideas, strategies, and content in the brand-new The Binding Of Isaac: Repentance expansion.* *A rental copy of the 1991 Dan Aykroyd comedy Nothing But Trouble is not required to tease out the more advanced nuances.
We believe that Guilty Gear is a good series that just isn't for us. We don't really go in for hyper-stylized, chaotic fighting games like this. What everyone can agree on, we think, is that Guilty Gear Isuka is a very bad entry in that series. In an attempt to add some gimmicks to the series, the developers break the design conventions that make 2D fighters work, making for a uniquely unpleasant experience.
At long last, it's here! Our discussion of the 2020 remake of Demon's Souls, the game that started our beloved SoulsBorne series. It's been four years since we did our revisit of Demon's Souls, so we're taking this opportunity to not only talk about the changes that BluePoint made, but also reacting to these sacred spaces with modern Souls-enthusiast eyes. This episode is pretty freeform. It begins with us discussing the remake in general, before talking about the tutorial, the Gates of Boletari...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about qomp, the most recent No Man’s Sky update, and we ask you to invent game-themed drinks. The Grind: David: No Man’s Sky. Ben: qomp. Bioshock Infinite. Dennis: Valheim. VR Boxing. Beatsaber. Kole: Demon’s Souls Remaster. Pathologic. The Multiplayer: Invent a game-themed drink! The End Boss: Gord looks like a fun survival city builder.

You know, there's nothing wrong with an above average fastfood sandwich. Sometimes, your body just craves a pretty good game that does everything decently, while not doing anything exceptionally well, and is over in 5 or 6 hours. That game is Ratchet and Clank, which is a total snack game with some unintentionally hilarious pathos and very satisfying weapon upgrades. Thank you Sean!
The odds are always stacked against a sophomore effort. The original Myst was a gigantic success and had a huge cultural impact, finding fans in unlikely places due to its advanced graphics and leisurely pace. Cyan knocked it out of the park when it came to Riven, though, improving on every aspect of the original Myst, while expanding it and making one of the most challenging puzzle adventure games of all time.

In what is undoubtedly the worst episode of Season 2, the Ventures head to the White House for a ceremony honoring Bud Manstrong, who apparently heroically saved humanity while the space station Gargantua-1 crashed into Earth. While there, we get tired jokes about presidents, learn the metaphysics of Ghost Lincoln, and get misled about the potential for a Manchurian Candidate twist. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our ...
