So you make some very good product, and through no fault of your own you end up with one and a half dead bodies. A worse show would make the bodies disappear conveniently. However, Breaking Bad is about two people who are inept at crime getting into their own way. Walt and Jesse are ready to go their separate ways, but first they have to split the duties of dealing with Emilio (deceased) and Krazy...

Kole, Ben, David, and Dennis talk about Scorn, Outer Wilds, Echoes of the Eye, Slay the Spire: Downfall, and much more! The Grind: David: Deathloop. Deep Rock Galactic. Dennis: Deep Rock Galactic. Slay the Spire: Downfall Mod. Rabbids: Party of Legends. Ben: Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. Tunic. Kole: Scorn. The Multiplayer: What games handle grinding the best? The End Boss: Bayonetta 3 voiceover...

Warning: Fluid chat! It's sort of like limbo, in that you're seeing how low you can go but instead seeing how divorced a grizzled dadtagonist can get. This is a good ass game despite a nonsense story. The biggest issue is it throws away it's biggest strength half way through, pulling you out of the genuinely innovative semi open world stealth and into a series of MindRealms(tm). Still, the play is...

One of the major dividing lines in video game history is when optical media became cheaper and more plentiful. That brought great stuff like Myst, and a few great FMV games... but it also brought us stuff like "Who Shot Johnny Rock?", a terrible FMV shooting game that's based entirely on fakeouts. Also, Gary torments Kole with a description of a segment from the Tales of the Darkside movie.

This week's episode: We're in a corn maze! (And we talk about Magic Skin, Revelation, Consolation Prize, and Polished Bone.)

Clive Barker's most famous forray into video games is 2001's Undying, but that wasn't his first attempt. Before that, we learned all about the Nightbreed. It's unclear what a Nightbreed is, how you become one, or what they even do, but this Interactive Movie adventure game does its best to get you up to speed, terrible checkpointing and all.

This week we set our sights on the big guy himself, Radahn the Star Scourge, a general whose magic is so powerful that he has arrested the stars themselves. But we're not going to do it alone. Redmane Castle's festival is the first event of its kind, where a whole dungeon is changed for a specific encounter which is the crossroads for a few different quests. And the fight itself is a grand spectac...

Welcome back true believers! This week we're finishing up the Mutant Massacre crossover by discussing Uncanny X-Men #213 and #214. Then, because we both are 90s kids and we love Archangel, we skipped to X-Factor #24-26 to see Warren Worthington's transformation into the edgy (literally!) blue skinned villain. Reminder that you can read along with and ahead of the show by subscribing to Marvel Unli...

Kole, Ben, and Dennis talk about Medieval Dynasty, Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye, Ori and the Blind Forest, and much more! The Grind: Dennis: Ori and the Blind Forest. Medieval Dynasty. Ben: Dome Keeper. Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. Kole: Rocksmith 2014. The Multiplayer: What games use simplicity or minimalism to great effect? The End Boss: Among Us is coming to VR on November 10. Let’s talk a...

An unnamed man wakes up outside of a macabre circus, and he must set about learning why he is there. This classic-style point and click adventure game tells a pretty standard psychological horror story with a lot of allusions and metaphor, which isn't going to be everyone's favorite thing. However, there is tons of great horror imagery and a few very rewarding puzzles to try to tackle. Our highlig...

The Sims is obviously an amazing game series and we wish we could play more of it. From the outside, the Sims community seems like an inclusive and welcoming space where people can be creative and have fun. And then we have the Sims Spark'd, the product of an ill-advised partnership between EA, TBS, and Buzzfeed Multiplayer. They gather 12 Sims content creators, put them in teams of three, and sub...

This week's episodes: Yuck Heart, Urn Of Souls, Akeldama, and Tainted Magdalene.

Listen, it's not great when the way you earn points in a game is to find a lady and have vigorous sex with her before she disappears. That's what happens in Dan Dolme, a game about a man with a large penis whose girlfriend goes missing and he must find her and engage with her sexually. But the whole presentation is so surreal that it's hard to condemn it too much, at least from our point of view....

Our quest to defeat Starscourge Radan is near its end as we storm his stronghold, Redmane Castle. This legacy dungeon is quite strange, and not just in the context of Elden Ring. There are two versions of it, one that is full of enemies, and another that is empty and ready for the Festival to kill the rot-blighted demigod. FromSoft have never done anything like this, and while it's not entirely su...

We're off to the races as we talk about the first episode of Breaking Bad, the clumsily-named "Pilot". Pretty much everything is here, introducing us to the main cast and showing us Walt's life of quiet humiliation before he reunites with Jesse Pinkman and makes his first forrays into the criminal underworld. Is the tone kind of weird, with moments that are a little too broad? Yeah, sure, but it's...

Kole, David, Dennis, and Jala talk about Catherine Full Body, Deep Rock Galactic, Metal Gear Survive, and much more! The Grind: Jala: Catherine: Full Body. Shining Force 2. Dennis: XCOM II: War of the Chosen. Trackmania. Deep Rock Galactic. David: Deathloop. Kole: Vampire Survivors. Metal Gear Survive. The Multiplayer: What’s your Last Meal game? The End Boss: Google kills Stadia. CD Projekt Red a...

(Cryptkeeper Voice) Spooky month begins with the ultimate heebie jeebie, a real Boo-riffic blunder! So buckle up boils and ghouls and non die-scary siblings alike. * Play Devotion before listening to this macabre tale of goof'em ups. Seriously, it's one of the best games we've done for the show and it's only 3 hours long. It's Silent Hill 2 tier. * Until next grime, fiends! BWahahahahahaha Support...

150 premium Abject Suffering episodes is a reason for celebration. It was a total accident that we happened to end up covering Chakan: The Forever Man, a cult Genesis game about a man who is cursed to live forever, named Chakan. Chakan is based on an indie comic by a person who goes by the initialism RAK, and RAK has a webpage.   We found the webpage. We were bowled over by what we found there. So...

Kole and Jala wrap up their coverage on the main Phoenix Wright trilogy of games by talking about Trials and Tribulations. Story concerned with the pasts of the various characters, it also seeks to wrap up loose ends and give a big fanservice payday to anyone with affection for the cast.

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...

You had to be around in the early '00s to know exactly how hard Razor scooters were being pushed on us. These were collapsable metal scooters meant for radical teens to ride to class. And they made a game about them, a not entirely terrible Tony Hawk clone. So we spend some time talking about the gimmick shoes that were foisted on us as kids.

With all of the Scarlet Rot in Caelid, it's easy to overlook the other forces at play in the region. Namely, the Black Flame, Deathroot, and other forces associated with the Destined Death. In this cleanup episode, we head to the Bestial Sanctum to learn about Gurranq the Bestial Clergyman, and then we head to the Divine Tower of Caelid where we find the Godskin cult tucked away in the basement. N...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Dome Keeper, Trombone Champ, Timberborn, and much more! The Grind: Ben: Timberborn. Dome Keeper. Kole: Trombone Champ. Dennis: Deathloop. XCOM 2. David: Deathloop. The Multiplayer: What piece of DLC do you think was better than the base game? The End Boss: Metal: Hellsinger custom music mods look silly and fun. A fan has made Super Mario Bros. 5. 0G9-XN4-FNF...

We've narrowed down some of our distaste for certain popular games, especially from the past: they were made for kids. And kids' media can be sublime! But what makes a piece of kids' media, game or not, good or bad? What turns us off? How do they approach issues of ethics or morality? How much do they condescend? We also answer your questions and read your responses to September's games: BugSnax,...

No one in the world needs to be told that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an important movie, but sometimes you need to be reminded that it's a good movie. A van full of teens is on a roadtrip into the vast empty stretches of Texas, and they find themselves wrapped up in the murderous affairs of a family of cannibals... and their mute hatchetman Leatherface. And you'll never guess what weapon he us...
