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.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Forza Horizon 5, Portal Stories: Mel, and more!

• David: Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. Elden Ring. Tunic.
• Dennis: Tunic. Forza Horizon 5. Dicey Dungeons. Titanfall 2.
• Ben: Portal Stories: Mel. DARQ. Dark Souls.
• Kole: Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

• What gaming feat have you accomplished that you don’t think you’ll ever repeat?

• Sony announces its confusing Game Pass competitor.
• Breath of the Wild 2 delayed to 2023.
• Breath of the Wild fan gathers all four Beedles in the same place.
• Suicide Squad game delayed to 2023.

This week we talk about a new spectrum on which we can analyze games: is it prescriptive, or is it permissive? Does it force you to conform to its demands, or does it say "yes" to the way you try to meet its challenges? This has been bubbling up for a while, and it was satisfying to talk about it.

We also answer your questions and read your responses to March's games.

The Venture Bros. does what it does best: establish a new status quo, as the family moves to Manhattan to inherit Jonas Jr.'s business and fortune. This is a real grab-bag of an episode as the Ventures get settled, Dr. Mrs. the Monarch tries to keep the guild together, and the Monarch tries to get back into the swing of arching whis newly enriched nemesis.

We know about Solid, Liquid, and Solidus Snake, but are you ready to meet their little brother Solid-ish Snake? The concept for this game is good: What is it like to be stranded behind enemy lines as a footsoldier in a time when wars are fought entirely by mechs? Too bad it squanders it by feeling terrible in the hands and being very opaque in how it presents information to the player. So we talk about how we feel we'd fare against a mech instead.
