We've got a topic and Q&A overflow, and the only way to contain all of these questions is to round 'em up. This is the first of our regular WOFF! Dispatch Roundup episodes, which we will be doing once per quarter to make sure we get to all of your questions.
Topics Covered:
The future for From after Elden Ring.
Favorite X-COM clones.
Thoughts on loading times and loading screens.
What's our deal with fighting games?

Comix Zone is one of the worst examples of style over substance in the 16-bit era that you'll find outside of Psygnosis games. A perennial inclusion on Sega collections, this brawler about a comic artist who is drawn into his work is just no very fun to play. So we instead pitch the improbable comic adventures of Kole, whose comic gets cancelled... and then things start getting weird in his shut-down world.

How important is backward compatibility?

In 2022, you can play a video game about almost anything. So why is it most games are about how friends are good and honor is nice? Can robots feel? Been there, done that.
The Beginner's Guide is a follow up to the wildly successful (and hilarious) The Stanley Parable dares to ask deeper and more personal questions about art and criticism. It's thematically rich and textually complex. Viva!

I'm sorry this is posted out of order! For some reason my original version didn't post. Project Overkill is a simple game whose entire premise is contained in its name... What if you killed a bunch of dudes in a very awkward isometric shooter. That's it. That's the game.

It's time to witness the weirdest arching ever as Rusty goes up against the postmodern stylings of Wes Warhammer's Doom Factory. Styled after Andy Warhol's crew, they know exactly how to undo someone as vain as Dr. Venture. Meanwhile, Hank goes on his very sweet first date with Sirena, thanks to the help of his brother and Conjectural Technologies.

Everything To Guppy is a weekly comedy/gaming podcast that releases four 15-minute episodes in a single hour-long chunk every Tuesday for reasons that seemed good at the time. 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 is probably someone's favorite game, which is weird to us. After the 16-bit era, Treasure kind of split in two. One part released bullet hell shooters. The other had a habit of making technical platformers that are impossibly ugly to look at. Silhouette Mirage falls into the latter camp, with a projectile affinity system that was a test run for Ikaruga's main gimmick.

This week we turn back from the Stormveil Castle gates and head to the western and central portions of the region, talking to Warmaster Bernahl, getting previews of Magma Mansion, and fighting some optional bosses. Then we follow Melina to our home base: the Roundtable Hold to meet some Tarnished champions.

Hello! This post is to explain how to subscribe to every publicly available show at once, with one single feed. This is for everyone who liked having the Early Release feed when we still offered that. We couldn't name this the Firehose, because that's a different thing, and that's confusing, so instead we're calling it The Duckfeed Public Combo.

In lieu of a topic, we read as many of your Chuck E. Cheese memories as we can. We also do the Q&A, and read your responses to April's games.
As a reminder, the Early Release feed will be going away at the beginning of May. Keep your eye on the Patreon page for information about where to get your audio when that happens.

The Wicker Man is a classic of folk horror, a foundational story about a man whose traditional ways and authority have no sway in a dangerous and unfamiliar environment. He's tracking down a missing girl, Rowan Morrison, on Summerisle, a Scottish island controlled by a pagan cult. This is a very weird movie, with a centerpiece performance by Christopher Lee as the main villain. It's brightly lit, it's a musical, and it's the horniest possible thing.

The morning after can hurt, if you're running a villainy operation and one of your heavies gets popped. This episode concerns itself with the fallout from the death of Harrangutan, as Dr. Mrs. the Monarch tries to comfort his widow, Battleaxe. Meanwhile, Rusty is dealing with the next villain in line to arch him: the intelligent-yet-lonely Think Tank, who also happens to be Dean's philosophy professor.

This recently revived and translated SNES game is a little less food-oriented than the title would have you believe. It's not a complete lie, but what you get is a Cho-Aniki brawler with a little bit of cooking thrown in. Which is a bummer, all told.
