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.

(Uncanny X-Men #163)

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!

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about NieR Replicant, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and we ask you what you want to see in the next generation of console games.

• David: No Man’s Sky.

• Kole: NieR Replicant ver. 1.22…

• Dennis: Enter the Survival Horror. Lumi Keyboard.

• Ben: Modern Warfare 2. Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

• What do you hope we see over the next console generation of games?

• The newest innovation in competitive NES Tetris is “rolling”.

• Resident Evil 4 VR announced.

• Cyberpunk 2077 refunds aren’t necessarily what you’d expect.

• Ralph Baer to be honored with special coin from the mint.

This month, we settle in for a light topic... how food is depicted in games. We talk about how it can convey the story of a location, or augment a game's mechanics. We also answer your questions and read your responses to April's games.

You ever looked at an owl and thought, "Gee, I wonder what kind of kingdom and warriors that owl belongs to?" The truth is that it's a very dumb creature which we've anthropomorphized, and all it cares about is where and when it will find its next vole.

Chris has a problem, which Michael is trying to solve, but now they both have a problem. Michael wants his estranged friend to quit drugs, and the only way he can think to accomplish this is to chain him to a pipe for seven days and make him quit cold turkey. Chris obviously hates this. And over the course of those seven days, Chris and Michael don't just have to deal with unhinged drug dealers and heavies from reservation security, but a menacing force that seems to be goading them along into a story with a horrible and violent ending.

Jinkies and or zoinks, it's groovy! This penultimate episode of the second season introduces us to the Groovy Gang, a parody of the cast of Scooby Doo that's all mixed up with famous killers and criminals from the counterculture. They stumble across the Venture Compound and hijinks ensue, while Rusty plays god and Brock has doubts about his path in life.

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