Please note, there are a couple of audio issues, which are disclaimed at the beginning of the episode.

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.
2020-10-29 06:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostWe just now published what would have been the final episode of Unfilmable, our Patreon limited-run series about how Lovecraft and Lovecraftian works have been adapted to the screen. Our intention was to do two "seasons" then be done.
The thing is, we love talking about spooky things.
So starting in November, Unfilmable is continuing with a new mission: to be a general "horror media" podcast, released monthly for our patr...

This is it, the last in our series covering Lovecraft screen adaptations. The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society undertook the impossible task of bringing Lovecraft's most famous story to the screen, and they managed to succeed even with one hand tied behind their back. This silent film is riveting to watch, which is a real accomplishment all on its own.

Hi there! This is Kole. Several years ago I bought a map, a corkboard, and a shitload of pins to create a physical reminder of where our listeners live. It was a fun project, but I stopped updating it after a Patreon restructure led to us not taking physical addresses anymore.
I'd like to update my map pins, and I'd like a little bit of your time to help do it. If you feel like offering up the info.

Welcome to our coverage of the worst episode of the Venture Bros.! Dr. Venture has been invited to demonstrate his newest invention at the U-nited Nations, and he's brought the boys along to get a taste of big city living. Meanwhile, the Monarch watches and schemes.

We need to re-calibrate what constitutes an "Abject Suffering Emergency". It's hard to tell how earnest the Whiteboyz Wit' Attitude are. On one hand, the music is pretty bad and farcical, but on the other hand, they've been at it for many years. This Steam game is a gussied up sales pitch for their compilation album, featuring some limited rhythm gameplay set to their low production value videos.

This week we talk about the things that didn't make it into Bloodborne, alongside some stuff that DID make it in... but is very well hidden. Even though Bloodborne is its own thing, it didn't manage to escape the classic FromSoft reshuffling, which massively changed its story and the roles of particular characters. Thanks to the work of a number of content creators, we have some insight into what might have been.

The middle part of the 16-bit era brought us a lot of platformers that were pretty to look at, at the expense of fluidity of play. Garfield: Caught in the Act was a part of this wave, featuring very pretty sprites with fluid animation that really got in the way of moving that big ol' cat around.
But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about all of the biggest Garfield news, and to do a deep dive on the problematic founder of Garfield Eats.

Greeting adventurers! We are excited to welcome you to the newest show on Duckfeed.tv... ORB! It's a Venture Bros. recap podcast, hosted by Gary and Kole. We love the Venture Bros. It's one of the most ambitious animated series in the history of television. It has heart and it's hilarious. And we're excited to follow its ups and downs with you.
This first episode is a primer on the show, talking about its creators, its early days, its characters, and why we like it so much. The next epi...

This is our second rock band management sim this year, and it's by far the superior to "Rock Star Ate My Hamster". The drug fixation aside, this is a fun little Lemonade Stand sim that has a fair bit of complexity and some of the best procedurally generated names we've seen.
Special Thanks to Beyond Reason for the theme song remix.

Sorry about the delay! I was prepping to move, then moving, then recovering. Also, I got sick in there. But I'm back! Here's the link to the playlist to remind you, and episode 15 is uploading now.

We're looking for two kinds of things:

Doom 3 was a controversial game, but its only real sin is not being Doom 2 or Doom 2016. Released in 2004 and coinciding with an identity crisis at id Software, this is a retelling of the original Doom story, but with very different gameplay. It more closely resembles the spectacle corridor shooters that were popular at the time, inspired by the success of Half-Life. It's dark and spooky. The pace is more deliberate. These are all problems if what you want is the kind of twitch action you'd f...

Thank you Ryan!
Beef Golem and Sheva go on a racially insensitive adventure in the 2nd worst mainline Resident Evil game that is, none-the-less, still sort of worth playing? Hear us shed some daylight on this black sheep of the series.

If you die in the game, etc. etc. and so on.
A wise man once warned me: If you die in the game, you die in real life. That man was someone speaking in a trailer for this movie, and that's why I've never died in a game. "Stay Alive" is a movie that not a lot of people remember, because it's very bad. Some young people discover an unreleased survival horror-ish game. The problem is, anyone who dies in the game is killed in a similar way by supernatural forces. So the friends must work tog...
