The Pitch

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.

The good news is that this episode doesn't get as gross as you'd expect. This is a modern-ish remake of a storied German franchise where you start and run an pay toilet empire. Which isn't a terrible idea, even if the execution stinks.

We need a little more time to get more Ashen under our belts, so this week we present something from the archives... The first time Gary and Kole really talked about Dark Souls. This was recorded as part of the extra content for our Fallout episode back in November of 2012. Hear our initial geeking out, and the earliest rumblings of the crazy idea of making a show that's all about Dark Souls.

We will be back next Sunday (August 8) with the beginning of our series on Ashen.

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

This month we have a movie that could have been entirely avoided if couples knew when to break up. Dani is suffering from traumatic grief, Christian is her insensitive boyfriend, and they're both taking a trip with some college friends to a remote Swedish community that has some secrets. Dark secrets, of course.

Kole, Ben, and Dennis talk about Fatum Betula, Gas Station Simulator, and we ask you about your celebration games.

• Kole: Fatum Betula. Gas Station Simulator Demo.
• Dennis: Minecraft Dungeons: The Hidden Depths. Harsh Shadows. Relics of Rajavihara.
• Ben: SNKRX.

• What’s your celebration game?

• Activision-Blizzard employees stage walkout over worker abuses.
• Fall Guys Season 5 goes live.
• Splitgate delayed because it’s too popular.

Our mental health meters were running low and we didn't have a topic in us, so we just did a bunch of questions. We also read your responses to July's games before announcing Septembers crop.
