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, and Dennis talk about the Resident Evil Maiden demo, the GameStop short squeeze phenomenon, and we ask you which side character should get their own game.

• Kole: Resident Evil 8: Maiden Demo. Saw.
• Dennis: The Textorcist.
• Ben: Satisfactory.

• Which minor character should get their own spinoff game?

• Early reactions to the GameStop short squeeze.
• Shakeup at Blizzard might save the Diablo 2 remaster.

In this episode, we answer your questions, we talk about our podcast personas and where our lines are, and we read your responses to January's games before announcing what we have coming in March.

Our discussion of Bedtime Stories, the Tim and Eric horror anthology show, continues with two double-length special episodes and the beginning of season two.

Sauce Boy is about a man tormented by addiction who finds himself beholden to the mob. Tornado looks at a young man whose life is ruined by his sins as a child. Baklava is about the world's worst boss. And The Duke asks us: what do we really want out of relationships?

Bad things happen when your body becomes uninhabitable. Rusty should have known that when he was popping all of those pills. An incident in the womb led to Rusty incubating his twin brother for 43 years, and JJ wants out. And Hank and Dean don't want a possible new brother running around, so they hit the road, with Dr. Orpheus in tow.

We all like Contra, right? What if we did it again but worse? And what if Konami wasn't as great as you remembered it, and you've been letting them coast on Castlevania for decades?
