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.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Forza Horizon 5, Portal Stories: Mel, and more!
This week we talk about a new spectrum on which we can analyze games: is it prescriptive, or is it permissive? Does it force you to conform to its demands, or does it say "yes" to the way you try to meet its challenges? This has been bubbling up for a while, and it was satisfying to talk about it.
We also answer your questions and read your responses to March's games.
Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

The Venture Bros. does what it does best: establish a new status quo, as the family moves to Manhattan to inherit Jonas Jr.'s business and fortune. This is a real grab-bag of an episode as the Ventures get settled, Dr. Mrs. the Monarch tries to keep the guild together, and the Monarch tries to get back into the swing of arching whis newly enriched nemesis.

We know about Solid, Liquid, and Solidus Snake, but are you ready to meet their little brother Solid-ish Snake? The concept for this game is good: What is it like to be stranded behind enemy lines as a footsoldier in a time when wars are fought entirely by mechs? Too bad it squanders it by feeling terrible in the hands and being very opaque in how it presents information to the player. So we talk about how we feel we'd fare against a mech instead.

1, 2, Freddy's coming for you. 3, 4, the gates are open. This slasher classic bucked the trend of wordless, stoic villains in favor of a killer with a distinct personality who was obviously having fun. The teens of Elm Street don't know what's coming for them, as Freddy Krueger invades their dreams, attacking, killing, and sexually menacing them. That is until one girl gets the idea to fight back. We kind of wondered whether or not this would hold up, and we're happy to report that it does. 2022-03-23 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Imagine, if you will, a very bad boy. Now make him 100% worse. That doesn't come close to the awfulness of Dennis the Menace, the young child born to kill the old man. This movie was a nightmare, the old television show was boring, and this game is bad too. So we talk about the times we were menaces ourselves, but mostly we were just weiners.

Reventure is a cute little joke platformer about the many ways that quests can end. It's got a little Stanley Parable in it, along with a little Don't Shit Your Pants. It's not a bad game, and actually kinda neat, so we instead talk about Dangerous Animals shows, and Kole tortures Gary with home improvement chat.

On this first big episode of the Elden Ring series, we go over Elden Ring's mechanics and generalities in broad strokes. What's returning from previous From games? What's been improved? What's brand new? We talk about as many systems and aesthetics as we can, in order to establish a basic understanding before we dive into more lore-heavy parts of the game.
In two weeks, we will talk about the Limgrave West portion of Elden Ring's world.

Hey there, it's time to help pick the games for next month's episodes of Exquisite Suffering. Click the links below to see some gameplay video to help you make your decision.
Hello! The purpose of this post is to call for your questions and prompts for WOFF! Dispatch. Please respond by Monday, March 21 by leaving a comment on this post.
We're looking for two kinds of things:
1. Suggestions for our long-form discussion prompt.
2. Q&A about the shows, behind the scenes details, and miscellaneous (including off-the-wall and off-topic questions). Ask us about games or other media, life in general... You name it.
One caveat ...

TEENS! TEENS! TEENS!
No, it's not some sort of horrible chant, it's what we're killin. Hop in.
Until Dawn showed how you can take steady principles of narrative adventure games such as The Walking Dead, or, shudder, Indigo Prophecy, and evolve them into something new and fun on its own. Very fun performances, a twisty plot, and appropriate interactivity make this one of, if not the, best "interactive movie" in games. Give it a listen!
Thank you to Dr. When!
