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 a bunch of older games and do a Free Play Multiplayer.

• David: No Man’s Sky.
• Ben: SNKRX.
• Dennis: Trackmania. Hollow Knight. LUMI.
• Kole: Mr. Driller Drill Land.

• Free Play!

• Cyberpunk 2077 is back on the PSN Store, for good or ill.
• Don’t buy the re-release of Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties.
• Citizen Sleeper looks like a good game.
• You can recharge a Tesla by towing it backwards.

This month's special topic is a discussion about RPG progression. What kinds of character upgrades are satisfying, which ones aren't, and why has there been a broader trend of games getting more bloated with bad RPG systems?

We also answer your questions, and read your responses to June's games: Hotline Miami, The Witness, and Super Mario 3D World.

Gwen Static joins us to talk about the disastrous results of Rusty trying to make a quick buck by inviting kids to the Venture Compound. The Venture Bros. takes place in a world where "boy adventurer" is a possible career path, and scores of kids are ready and willing to hand over money to attend a day camp run by their hero... even if those "kids" are Murderous Moppets helping their boss arch on the sly.

Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer.

Dried fruit almost had a home in the NES in this mediocre platformer published by Capcom. The problem is, the popular California Raisins commercials, where sentient fruit performed Motown classics, cost more to produce than they generated in sales. So the California Raisins went away, and this game didn't see the light of day until recently.

This week, we continue and finish our discussion of Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, an indie soulslike that was unfortunately pretty disappointing. We pick up after defeating the first Acolyte and go through to the end, saving the world of Mornia from the evil grasp of the Gahar.
