The Pitch

The Cabin in the Woods is a pretty important movie, and it's hard to talk about why without spoiling the best part. So this description will need to hem and haw around it. Some teens are headed to a remote cabin for a party weekend, but they don't know that they're walking right into an elaborate scenario coordinated by a shady organization. While the dialogue has a little bit of that Joss Whedon stink on it, we're really here for the plotting, the cool twists, and the legally-not-Cenobytes.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Rainbow Six: Extraction, Vampire Survivors, and Pistol Whip.

• Dennis: Rainbow Six: Extraction. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
• David: Rainbow Six: Extraction. Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.
• Ben: Vampire Survivors. Ring Fit Adventure. The Sleeping Gods.
• Kole: In Death: Unchained. Pistol Whip.

• Give a game the Blood Dragon treatment!

• Tom Holland gets pummeled a lot as Nathan Drake.
• Palworld is Pokemon with guns.
• Respawn is making three Star Wars games, which is a lot.
• Unpacking and Wordle knockoffs are a real problem.

Are games too long? 500 hours? What does that mean, Dying Light 2?

Also, we answer your questions and read your responses to January's games before announcing February's CROP.

Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

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.

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 local comic book shop (the preferred method, if we're being honest). Be sure to check with your local library to see if they have them there! You can find one using this site

I promise that we don't do the Cobra Commander voice in this episode, although it's tempting. This episode serves a single purpose: to put S.P.H.I.N.X. to bed so the OSI can take center stage and Gary can return to the Monarch... eventually. Meanwhile we get some unrelated hijinks from the Monarch, and Hatred finally makes a little bit of progress in getting Dean to open up.

Hop into a limo with $1,000 and your worst yuppie friends and head to Vegas in order to learn about the hidden horrors of strangers approaching you to ask for things. Also, we learn about the daring exploits of Mr. Colo$tomy, high roller extraordinaire.

The creators of Dark Souls deny taking any direct inspiration from the original Legend of Zelda, but we know that's impossible. So we dive into this strange, foreboding, ahead-of-its-time adventure game and look for the elements that would go on to become Souls-series hallmarks. We also talk about the whole game in a Watch Out for Fireballs!-like fashion.
