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...

In the end, it was a story about family. In the beginning, too. It was really all a story about family. Children of Morta was made as an attempt to marry a roguelike game structure to a fixed, detailed story... and it works. The Bergsons are a tight-knit family who live in the shadow of Mount Morta, and they are charged with being Guardians of all the land. When Corruption starts appearing, everyo...

The idea of millionaires who happen to be talented artists using their resources to make video games where they go on little adventures is extremely charming. That's our baseline approach to talking about Def Jam: Fight for NY, which is ABSOLUTELY not a bad game. Just not a game for us. But, growing up in the 90s, it was impossible to escape both hip hop and wrestling, even if you wanted to, so we...

A Level 1 villain has to start somewhere, and that's where the Big Villains program comes in. The Monarch steps up to take Augustus St. Cloud under his wing for his first arching, which is less an act of altruism and more another attempt to get under Rusty's skin. The result is a fun episode that's mostly jokes and doesn't really move anything forward, but we need those from time to time. Special...

It's a classic Gary Butterfield pick: it's an advergame about snack food. But M&M's Kart Racing for the Wii also happens to be the least fun, and least functional, kart racer we've covered for the show. It also leads us to one of the more bizarre and sad wikis we've found for a property.

In this episode, we talk about the next four issues in the X-Men Messiah Complex crossover event: X-Men #205, Uncanny X-Men #493, X-Factor #26, New X-Men #45. 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). You can also use Comixology, or buy the trades from your loca...

Do games stand up to editing the same way other works do? How is editing used in games? Could they stand more editing? The obvious Duckfeed answer is "yeah." Hear us explain why! And answer your questions, read your responses to June's games, and generally goof it up. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

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.

Gwen joins us to talk about the Inamorata Consequence, an episode that follows the plotline that no one asked for: the secret romance between Agent McManus and S-464. But we do get some nice Dean moments, which has been rare lately, and learn what happened with Dermot ever since the Ventures pulled up roots. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayto...

Somehow it took us 460 episodes to reach Mr. Bones. I don't have an answer as to why. But, man, is it a sight to behold. You play the one skeleton on the side of good (guitars) fighting against a mindless army on the side of evil (drums), playing just the grossest, smelliest white boy blues you can.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Super Auto Pets, Snowrunner, the Quarry, and much more! The Grind: Dennis: God of War (2018). Snowrunner. David: Snowrunner. No Man’s Sky. Destiny II. Vampire Survivor. Ben: Super Auto Pets. The Looker. Kole: The Quarry. The Multiplayer: What’s your favorite black character in games? The End Boss: There’s no way to finish KOTOR II on Switch. Xbox PC app will...

We knew right after its release that Vampyr would be a WOFF! game. An RPG that cites Bloodlines as an inspiration, made by a smaller studio, with a great premise and very high highs that are unfortunately compromised by some very low lows. This bore out on our playthrough for the show. Jonathan Reid, the only vampire doctor in fiction, sets out to try and stop a horrifying epidemic in 1918 London,...

You can steer clear of a lot of problems by staying above ground. In fact, there are few reasons to go down there. Few reasons worth dealing with the CHUDS for, anyway. Someone should have told that to these thrill-seeking ladies, looking to do some spelunking after their friend suffers a tragic loss. The Descent is one of the scariest movies out there, even before the monsters show up. But the mo...

Just like every sitcom has the "learning the dangers of credit cards" episode, every cartoon must have the "rich person realizes they're broke" episode. Maybe that's just this and the Simpsons. Regardless, the Monarch learns that he's broke after completely renovating his parents' condemned mansion, and now he has to work the steps to get back on his feet. This involves finding his way back into D...

Nickelodeon's GUTS, later Global GUTS, was a mainstay of the network's "cheaply produced gameshows" that acted as ballast for some of the other, bigger shows. Each episode, a group of kids competed in physical challenges, culminating in a trip up the Aggro Crag, for a chance to win a "glowing piece of that radical rock". From this setup, we get a really anemic minigame collection that's mostly rep...

If you have even a mild interest in old games, your critical acumen will always be caught up in the tension between historical import and modern playability. Few games stress that dissonance more than Another World, which combines an unbeatable atmosphere and tremendous influence with some very outmoded game design. Is it worth taking the plunge? Listen in, buddy! Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Bratz dolls were so hideous that they started a moral panic, and they were also a transmedia property! Movies, TV shows, games, all dedicated to the dolls So Ugly They Made the News. This is one of the more robust mini-game collections we've covered, but we're more interested in the gossip to be found in the comments on the Bratz Wiki pagez.

The Morphic Trilogy draws to a close as all of our players converge on the lobby of VenTech Tower. This episode is mostly flashbacks and dream sequences, illuminating some of the most important secrets in the backstory of the Venture Bros. universe. Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer.

The Curious Expedition isn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but it sits at a table set with a lot of outdated tropes that don't look so great nowadays. We're pretty sure this Patron just wanted us to make a bummer episode about colonialism. So we talk about that, along with how people just drown in pig shit and we, as a society, have decided to accept that.
