This week we continue our journey along the Caelid Highway, down further into the wilds of the rot-blighted land. Starting at the Smouldering Wall, we venture into Fort Gael and the prison complex beneath it, before reaching the swamps and dragons of the southern reaches. Next week we will turn northward into Selia and the Aeonian Swamp, ground zero of Malenia's blossoming.

Thank you Jade! What do you do when there's a Kojima about? What do you do when a game has some of the best stealth action in video games, one of the most satisfying loops in video games, but punctuates it with some of the worst boss fights and clumsy exposition and plotting? It's a complicated game that gives us complicated feelings! Listen in if you want to hear us wrestle with Kojima's legacy,...

This premium episode is about Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster, a PlayStation game that makes you realize that stunts are only cool when it's actual people doing them. A computer game character can, by definition, do anything its creator tells it to. But this middling beat-em-up provides a good springboard for us to talk about Gary's most recent thrift store find, an amateur comic from the '80s called "C...

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...

Nyah, see? Myah. That's mobster talk, because we're talking about a pair of ZX Spectrum games which concern themselves with various illegal dealings in 1919. The roaring teens! Establish protection rackets, run hooch, pinch nanners, flip gatorboys, if it's illegal you can do it all. As long as it fits within the "Lemonade Stand" format.

This week we begin our hunt for General Radahn, who continues to arrest the stars from his current home in the wastelands of Caelid. We know where to find him, but the trick is making our way to him across this blighted, rotted, poisoned land. Specifically, this episode covers everything along the Caelid Highway from north to south, until you reach the Smoldering Wall. There are several minidungeo...

Bugsnax is a cute indie that caught a lot of attention with its catchy theme song, but did you know there's a whole game behind that song? We play this cute combination of Pokemon Snap and Ape Escape, navigating Snaktooth Island and catching bugs who happen to be snacks. The goal? To help the townspeople and learn the truth of what's really happening on this island, with these snacks who happen to...

Each quarter we dip into our big bag of questions, find the ones that have gone unanswered, and round them up for this bonus show. This quarter we cover a variety of topics, including demo disks, whether or not we'd like to Total Recall all media, the importance of user experience, and much more. Thanks for your support!

Rise of the Dragon is a perfectly serviceable first person adventure game, held back by some misguided action sequences and a predictable plot. Cyber drugs? You're kidding me! So once we dispense with the formalities, Gary regales us with a tale of his return to the All-American Magic Show. Sometimes you CAN step in the same river twice.

If you thought the Lands Between were already big, I would like to have seen your face when you realized that there was a whole other map waiting for you beneath the surface. This week, we begin Ranni's quest by meeting her at the Three Sisters rises, and work together with Blaidd to try (unsuccessfully) to reach the forbidden city of Nokron. Instead, we find a false night and whole new cultures w...

This week we continue down the trail of cold, dead mutant bodies in hopes of finding some meaning for Thor. Covering: New Mutants #46 Thor #373 Power Pack #27 Thor #374 Reminder that you can read along with and ahead of the show by subscribing to Marvel Unlimited (we don't get paid for you doing that, so it's not an ad, it's just a cool service).

We're stretching definitions here a bit, but it's for a purpose. "American Movie" is a documentary about the amateur production of a short horror film called "Coven". It tells the story of its long and troubled process, all centered around its inept but persuasive director Mark Borchardt. We've talked about indie horror movies here, but American Movie documents one of the last times when a product...

We answer your questions, read your responses to August's games, and spend some time talking about the sorts of places that show up in games, and what we'd like to see more of, before announcing our slate for the best month of the year, October. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

WiiWare is an untapped market for us, and Gary brought in a doozie: a game about eating a lot in a very short amount of time. And you know what? It's not that terrible. It would at least have kept us entertained for a night in our dirtbag early twenties. So listen in and hear us talk about competitive eating, and learn a little more about Gary's horrible childhood.

Having explored the Academy of Raya Lucaria, it's time to set our sights on the other seat of power in Liurnia: Caria Manor. All of this is in service of our quest to find the witch Ranni, a demigod who seems to be pulling a lot of strings. And to get to her, we'll need to deal with a whole lot of fingerspiders.

Kole, Dennis, and Jala talk about Mortuary Assistant, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Under Falling Skies, and much more! The Grind: Kole: Mortuary Assistant. Jala: Sonic Mania. Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Dennis: Under Falling Skies. Vampire Survivors. Rainbow Six: Extraction. The Multiplayer: What are your little gaming habits and rituals? The End Boss: The Con...

Wario is one of Nintendo's secret best weapons. As "the opposite of Mario" he is an aesthetic triumph, indulging in every vice and drawing us in with his shamelessness. And for a while, he was the star of his own series of puzzle platformers on Nintendo portable systems. Wario Land 4 is an odd duck in that sub-series, with a more action-oriented presentation that doesn't leave the puzzles behind....

It's the year 2012 and vacations are outlawed, so instead of just kicking back at home you engage in some car combat to cart unpleasant tourists around. Rogue Trip's premise is messy, and built on a genre that we don't really care for at all. But it might be a good idea to add some non-killing mechanics to car combat, so it's hard to write this off entirely. The characters are garbage though, and...

We're here, the end of the Venture Bros. for now. Hopefully. As long as that WB merger doesn't shake everything up and kill the movie. But we're going to think positive for now, and cover the DVD extras, read your responses to season 7, and offer up our firsts and worsts. Thank you so much for listening! Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Ca...

Dragonfable is the long-forgotten followup to Adventure Quest, and somehow it still runs, and somehow you can still play it. Cribbing heavily from the hyper self-aware diction of webcomics in the mid-2000s, this is a repetitive, grindy RPG that's perfectly at home on this show.
