Hugo's House of Horrors is a classic adventure game that's actually quite charming. Doubly so when you see how vehemently the designer insists that he'd never heard of Maniac Mansion before making it. We also talk about how J. Jonah Jameson and Cornholio are related, and how Kole's got snakes.

There's a revolt afoot at Castle Morne, and we're headed there ourselves to see the carnage. The Misbegotten, forced into servitude because There's a revolt afoot at Castle Morne, and we're headed there ourselves to see the carnage. The Misbegotten, forced into servitude because of the coincidence of their birth, have turned the place into a slaughterhouse. And it's likely related to other doings...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Space Punks, Resident Evil Village, House Flipper, and much more! The Grind: Ben: Deathloop. Resident Evil Village. Dennis: Slay the Spire. Space Punks. David: Space Punks. Loot River. No Man’s Sky. Destiny 2. Kole: House Flipper. The Multiplayer: What piece of art or music would you like to see made into a game? The End Boss: Gotham Knights won’t be coming...

Teardown is an extremely good game. Don't expect a meaningful story or even a huge amount of variety, but DO expect a lot of freedom and a lot of destruction. You're a criminal who takes on jobs to steal, destroy, and commit fraud across several sandbox-style maps made of physics-modeled voxels. The majority of missions are tense heists where you spend the first part meticulously planning your rou...

This newest Resident Evil movie is simultaneously a better adaptation and a better movie than the Paul W.S. Anderson movies, while also not being good enough. It crams the broad story of the first two Resident Evil games into a breathless mess that's goofy and entertaining, while wasting tons of opportunities to tell the best stories from the source material. But hey, at least it adapts the games.

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 o...

This episode isn't a finale, but it has strong finale energy, with its Scorsese parody style and its misdirect at the beginning... We think we will witness the death of Dr. Venture, but instead we see the Monarch executing his plan to get rid of anyone's suspicion that he might be the Blue Morpho. Meanwhile, Rusty tries to throw a party for Christopher Lambert to get in with high society. Special...

This SNES has a mission to boringly go where no man has gone before! An interface that mimics the bridge of the Starship Enterprise does a lot to make this feel like a more complex game than it is, but it can't hide the terrible Away Team and ship-to-ship combat. We also talk about our Holodeck fantasies, and Kole finally gets to tell his falconry story.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Loot River, Unsouled, and more! The Grind: David: Unsouled. The Gunk. No Man’s Sky. Kole: The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. Save Room. Dennis: Loot River. Ben: Underwater Cities. Deathloop. The Multiplayer: What mechanic would make a game better if it was dropped? The End Boss: Maniac mods Fisher Price controller to actual...

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 de...

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-d...

To make up for the dead week after getting rid of the early release feed, we're hitting you with all kinds of never-before-heard WOFF Dispatch Roundup episodes! Please enjoy this bumper crop of rediscovered Q&A episodes. Topics Covered: Real life knowledge we've used in games. How important is backward compatibility? What studio do you hope gets ahold of an established series? Our game of 2020...

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! Suppor...

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.

Please enjoy this bumper crop of rediscovered Q&A episodes. Topics Covered: Games that would make a good TV series. Gaming with distraction. Games we regret, and favorite mods. Do we admire games with technical accomplishments but rott...

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. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art...

Please enjoy this bumper crop of rediscovered Q&A episodes.

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.

In this episode we cover Uncanny X-Men #130-133, aka the lead up to the Dark Phoenix saga.

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. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

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,...

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 profe...
