Everything to Guppy 632: Analog Stick

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.

Abject Suffering 392: Defenders of Dynatron City

In a remarkable bit of serendipity, this game wasn't a hit because you couldn't hit anything in it. Garry Winnick and Steve Purcell set about creating a quirky little brawler for the NES, and they made a comic to promote it. Then they made an animated series to promote it. And people were excited. Then they played the game and the whole house of cards came tumbling down.

ORB 19: Assassinanny 911

Zoe joins us to talk about the introduction of Hunter Gathers, Brock's mentor at the OSI. Brock is called away on a special mission, forcing him to leave the Venture family in the hands of a freelance agent... Molotov Cocktease. While Mol attempts to whip the family into shape in the hopes that Brock will leave them for the mercenary life, Brock ventures to the tropics to eliminate a rogue agent whose identity will surprise him.

Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch: Retro Peril

This month's Dispatch topic is what we're calling "Retro Peril", or the idea that playing a newer entry in a genre would stop you from enjoying classic entries if you went back to revisit them. Would it be impossible to find joy in Torment if you got used to the quality of life improvements in Disco Elysium?

We also answer your questions, and read your responses to February's games.

Unfilmable 24: Bedtime Stories (Part 4)

This month, we conclude our series on Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories, a great horror comedy anthology show. We look at the last four episodes... "Angel Man" continues the story of Mr. Dimler and the otherworldly singer Scotty. "The Demotion" is about a desperately unhappy air traffic controller who gets a lot of people killed. "Squat" is all over the place. And finally, "Butter" is a legitimately horrifying tale of how kids from third world countries are exploited.

For at least...

ORB 18: Hate Floats

Hate Floats is an important episode because it sets up the main conflict of season 2, and establishes the Monarch as the second protagonist of the series. The Monarch, having just escaped from jail, sets about putting his operation back together and attempting to get Dr. Girlfriend back from the transparent arms of Phantom Limb. And it just so happens that Rusty and the boys get caught in the crossfire of a conflict that has nothing to do with them.

Abject Suffering 391: Lester the Unlikely

We all know the stereotypical traits of nerds. Thick glasses, nasally voice... narcolepsy? Lester the Unlikely is a cinematic platformer, a la Out of This World or Prince of Persia, that highlights how important good level design is to that kind of game. However, if you're looking for a game that lets you punish turtles, this one's got your number.. Shredder.

Bonfireside Chat 175: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

If you step foot in Ash Lake, you'll be struck by the improbability of a sea of trees rising infinitely to a sky you cannot see. And if you've seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, you'll think "this looks familiar".

It's impossible to deny that Hayao Miyazaki's work influenced Dark Souls, which is why we decided to cover it on this show. What we found was that the influences are relatively few and shallow... BUT, we also discovered that this pre-Ghibli classic has influenced an unt...

Exquisite Suffering 111: Mort the Chicken

It's a late-era PSX game that looks and plays like a launch-era PSX game, and all it has going for it is its sense of humor. You play as Mort, a chicken who must rescue baby chicks from the invading interdimensional cubes from Buillon.

Abject Suffering 390: Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern

It's a fantasy saga of high flying dragons and alien invasions where nothing at all happpens. This episode is our followup to the Companions of Xanth episode, this time featuring a fantasy series from Kole's childhood. Dragon Riders: Chronicles of Pern is a Dreamcast adventure game based on Anne McCaffrey's books about dragon riders who don't do very much.

ORB 17: Powerless in the Face of Death

This season premiere brings us the first of many new status quos, but not the one you expect. The boys are dead and Rusty is adrift, while Dr. Orpheus is wracked with guilt over what happened. The Monarch is in prison, and Dr. Girlfriend has fled to the arms(?) of Phantom Limb. How do we proceed from here?

Watch Out for Fireballs! 307: Outer Wilds (Premium)

The bad news is you only have 22 minutes. The good news is, you have as many 22 minutes as you need. Outer Wilds is a plucky, optimistic game about horrifying circumstances. You stand alone in the footsteps of an ancient civilization, working hard to figure out why your solar system keeps exploding. To do this, you have to fly from planet to planet and navigate hostile conditions, learning as much as you can on each loop. The mechanics may or may not work for you, but the tone and the ending ...

Lil Health Update

Hey folks!

So it looks like I'll be on track to start recording again next week. I just wanted to let everyone know what has been going on and to thank everyone for their patience given that early release has slipped on a couple of shows, and Bonfireside Chat skipped a week.

A couple of weeks ago, I got a non covid cold. I worked through it just fine, but during that time, I think I zonked myself to sleep to hard and ended up with a very similar injury to the one I had a few yea...
