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.

Which you can you trust? Prey is a rare creature: an immersive sim that's more like System Shock 2 than Bioshock. You are Morgan Yu, an amnesiac on a space station overrun with shapeshifting monsters, and you have to use everything at your disposal to fight overwhelming odds to stop the threat from reaching Earth. It's a strange game with an ambitious story and unique retro-future aesthetic, and we think you should play it.

We head back to the earliest days of video game cartoons to talk about a confusing and boring variety show that's not really based on your arcade favorites! The good news is, YouTube also featured the vintage commercials. Saturday Supercade was an hour long show, and each episode featured four segments... this month, we talk about an episode that features Frogger, Donkey Kong, QBert, and Donkey Kong Jr. And it couldn't be clearer that they took unrelated scripts and did a find/replace to add in ...

Hate isn't just a game for the Monarch, he has to feel it. And he'll throw away his entire career if it means he can't arch Dr. Venture. So he shoots Dr. Dugong and sets out with the boys to mess up the Venture compound while Rusty is away, leaving only Hank, Dean, and Dermot to stop the petty, petty crimes.

There once was a time when the more your PC tried to be a console, the worse it was. And that's all this is: worse Castlevania. But we don't have a lot of new stuff to say about Castlevania, so instead we hear four short horror stories about being trapped in cars with baffling people.

Do you have fond memories of this? Sorry! It's pretty bad! We talk about the misguided gimmick (a cartridge with a solar light sensor) that looms large over a stealth RPG that was already pretty bad. Games will need to get up much earlier in the morning if they want to make us go outside.

The Stanley Parable is a short game with a lot to say about games. You play as Stanley, an office worker with a pointless job who finds himself being ordered around by an omniscient narrator. By deciding whether or not to obey him, you stumble into stories that critique and explore the nature of choice in games, and choice in real life. Because this is primarily a comedy game, we recommend playing the Stanley Parable before listening to this episode, because we will ruin the jokes for you. Suppo...

We've yet to see the true extent of Jonas Venture's bastardry, but this episode gives us some of our first peeks. The Venture Compound sits atop a massive tunnel complex where forgotten experiments have laid fallow, and it isn't until a drilling mishap that Rusty learns what's going on right beneath his feet. Can the Order of the Triad save him and Brock? Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer....

Knuckles' Chaotix is the only game that could possibly embody the sheer awkwardness of the Sega 32X. It stars Knuckles and his shitty friends as they attempt to stop Dr. Robotnik from doing something I guess. The problem is, Knuckles is bound to his co-op partner by a stretchy energy band, which makes doing "Sonic" stuff impossible. But they still expect you to do Sonic stuff.

This is a different kind of episode for us, because instead of talking about one game in depth, we're looking back at all of the non-Souls games we've covered for the show and asking ourselves two questions: Would we recommend you play these today? And what element, mechanical or aesthetic, would you like to see someone take from each game and use elsewhere? This first part goes through all of the games we talked about on the original run of the show, so: King's Field IV: The Ancient City 3D Dot...

Evan looks for a change of scenery, and finds a woman who is more complicated than he was bargaining for. This second episode by the directing duo of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead does the seemingly impossible and mixes romance with Lovecraftian horror, and if I said any more here it would ruin the many surprises that are in store for you.

Champions of Zulula is an amateur DOS fighting game where you play as any number of champions from strange, fantastical races like "Squid" and "Ostrich" who have gathered in Zulula to fight for supremacy. The game isn't very good, so instead we spend time clowning on ridiculous commercials from Gary's youth. We discuss three Eagleman Insurance commercials in this episode.
