Here we have one of the more unfortunate episodes of the Venture Bros., where the family heads to the rain forest and meets one of Rusty's old acquaintances. What ensues is some really weird, scattered, and icky sex and gender stuff that's also just not very funny! 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 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.

A divine agent has gone rogue, taking the sacred texts with him and throwing the whole world into chaos. It's up to you to find him and stop the crisis in the most mind-numbing way possible. Also, we talk about that time a car crashed into Gary's house at 3am.

This month's special topic is a discussion about RPG progression. What kinds of character upgrades are satisfying, which ones aren't, and why has there been a broader trend of games getting more bloated with bad RPG systems? We also answer your questions, and read your responses to June's games: Hotline Miami, The Witness, and Super Mario 3D World. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Gwen Static joins us to talk about the disastrous results of Rusty trying to make a quick buck by inviting kids to the Venture Compound. The Venture Bros. takes place in a world where "boy adventurer" is a possible career path, and scores of kids are ready and willing to hand over money to attend a day camp run by their hero... even if those "kids" are Murderous Moppets helping their boss arch on the sly. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton...

Dried fruit almost had a home in the NES in this mediocre platformer published by Capcom. The problem is, the popular California Raisins commercials, where sentient fruit performed Motown classics, cost more to produce than they generated in sales. So the California Raisins went away, and this game didn't see the light of day until recently.

This week, we continue and finish our discussion of Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, an indie soulslike that was unfortunately pretty disappointing. We pick up after defeating the first Acolyte and go through to the end, saving the world of Mornia from the evil grasp of the Gahar.

The staying power of the Mortal Kombat brand is a mystery, but we're here for it... even if this movie is dumb as rocks. Cole is a down and out MMA fall guy who happens to be the heir to a great line of ninja warriors. There's also an interdimensional martial arts tournament that Sonya Blade and Jax are investigating. And Kano is here, too. Can the heroes of Earthrealm save the world, again, for the first time?

Science fiction allows us to create infinite worlds of infinite possibility, exploring truths and synthesizing concepts with no limitation whatsoever. You could, for example, say that the far future of the Earth will basically just be the 60s but with robots.

Jeremy Greer joins us to talk about the proper introduction of Sergeant Hatred and his unorthodox arching philosophy. He seems like a big dumb doofus, but there's more going on there, and he has a plan to make the Monarch's life hell by making Rusty's life heaven. And it all begins at one very lame house party.

And the award for "most obscure Lovecraft game adaptation" goes to... This thing. It's actually not that bad, though! While this is our first Hidden Object game, the genre was extremely popular with casual gamers for a while. And this seems like a good one, eschewing most of the pixel hunting for a basic point-and-click adventure setup. We honestly thought this would be worse.

This week we play the opinionated magnum opus of an opinionated creator. The Witness, created by Jonathan Blow, attempts to use puzzles and geometry to change the way you see the world, and create an engine for repeating the "a-ha!" moment over and over again. It ties one hand behind its back by communicating its mechanics in an entirely nonverbal fashion. Does it succeed at its lofty goals? Listen in to find out. Thanks, Simon!
