Watch Out for Fireballs! 350: King's Bounty

Quest Questingson conquers all of the continents of Continentia in this foundational strategy game. The king's sceptre has gone missing, and as a result both he and the kingdom itself are falling into ruin. It's up to you to track down all of the villains who conspired to steal the sceptre, recover the artifact itself, and save the day. This is a very basic strategy game, which is reflective of the time that it came out, but there are charms to its gameplay loop, and you can't help but smile ...

Everything to Guppy 835: Forgotten Lullaby

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.

ORB 73: All This and Gargantua-2 (Part 2)

We proceed Gwen-less to talk about the remainder of the Gargantua-2 special, where plots and characters collide in space to set up a new status quo. JJ is sick, the Sovereign is burning everything down, the Monarch sees an opportunity to take out Phantom Limb once and for all, General Treister is back, and Rusty is on the threshold of temporary greatness.

Adaptation Decay 60: Muppet Babies: It's Only Pretendo

The Muppet Babies was a smash hit cartoon that started the "baby versions of popular characters" craze, but video game fans remember one episode in particular. Gonzo loves his Pretendo, and the entire nursery goes NUTS when they start playing it along with him. This episode is an excuse for us to get nostalgic for the Muppets while also doing a shorter episode, so we hope you enjoy going on this ride with us.

Abject Suffering 445: Tweenies: Game Time

Listen, have fun, go mad, get buried in a Dymaxion house. That's about the order of operations in this episode about a UK-only kids game based on a property called the Tweenies. They like to have fun and dance around, and one time a genie trapped them in the jungle with dinosaurs. But is there a more sinister side?

Hello patrons, Gary here

Lots of new folk! Welcome and thank you so much for supporting us going into the Lands Between. I speak for Kole and myself when I say that we're both loving the shit out of this game, and are eager to dig in. Because the game is huge, however, and because the game is it what is, I want to set a couple of expectations from the beginning.

Watch Out for Fireballs! 349: Ultimate NES Remix

Nintendo is a company that is sometimes too in love with it's own history. But sometimes, that love bears beautiful results. This creative lil nugget functions as a reader's digest version of some of the best games on the NES, as well as a fun meta toy, where elements are mixed and matched. Underrated gem!

What goes up...? Almost every character and plotline in the show. Gargantua-2 is open for business, and J.J. Venture is nowhere to be seen. Rusty is resentful. The Monarch is looking for a new purpose without his Cocoon. Phantom Limb is ready to make a move of his own. And Gwen Static is here to talk about this powder keg that's ready to, literally, blow.

Abject Suffering 444: Game Dev Tycoon

Why would you play a game about making games when you could make a game yourself, said the wise man, you absolute clod. Game Dev Tycoon bears a striking resemblance to Kairosoft's Game Dev Story, and they have caught plenty of heat for that, but if you're going to mimic a light management sim, there are far worse examples to crib from.

Bonfireside Chat 202: Elden Ring First Impressions

Rise, Tarnished, and attend the first episode about Elden Ring! There's no way to describe the great unclenching that happened when we realized that Elden Ring is, in fact, good. Whether that bears out over the course of the entire game remains to be seen, but we have high hopes. This episode covers our first impressions after about a week of having the game, and we also lay out our current reckon on how the season will shape up.

Exquisite Suffering 136: Monster House

What if a house was also a monster? This is the essential question of the forgotten work, Monster House. And the game based on the movie based on this question is actually pretty neat. It's an actiony Resident Evil for kids, where you fight possessed household objects with Super Soakers. And speaking of Super Soakers...

Bonus Level: Ace Attorney: Justice for All

Kole and Jala, at long last, continue their discussion of the Phoenix Wright series by taking a look at "Justice for All", the arguable sophomore slump of the series. Phoenix is back at the table, Miles is nowhere to be found, and we're instead facing off against the child prodigy Franziska von Karma. The cases are a little all over the place, but we welcome the addition of the Psyche Locks, which add much more interest to the investigation portions of the chapters.

A Note on Tech Support and Responsiveness

Hey everyone, Kole here. I want to clarify something about tech support on the feeds. Customer service hinges on setting and maintaining expectations, and I want to set the expectation of what kinds of things we can respond to, and what the timeframe might be.

First, it is not scalable for us to respond to every question that is answered elsewhere in the explanatory pages. There is a whole tag on our Patreon page called2022-03-04 19:03:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Watch Out for Fireballs! 348: Inscryption

You wake up in a cabin and you're playing a dangerous game. Sacrifices must be made. And the only way forward is to play your cards right. That's about all we can say about Inscryption, an ambitious and wide-ranging card game by Daniel Mullins, the creator of Pony Island. If we gave too much detail right now we would spoil it, which we don't want to do, since it's a great introduction to deck building games, even if there are some... inconsistencies.
