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.

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!

Freddy is objectively the most entertaining of the slasher monsters. But how could he get better? Sure, he has clashed with Jason before, but that's not a conflict of like vs. like. We propose a friendly rivalry between Freddy and Beetlejuice, where they can really sharpen their blades against each other... As long as Lydia doesn't make Beetlejuice soft first.

Before they hit it big with Halo, Bungie was a favorite studio for many Macintosh people because of the Marathon series. With graphics that were ahead of their time, fun and inventive multiplayer modes, and (most importantly) an intricate and sprawling story, there was a lot to like. But when played today, do its wide open and aimless levels invite wonder or frustration?

Thanks David!

This goofy episode on this ambitious, but somewhat tedious, SNES era simulation game was a balm to record on election day, and we hope it's a balm for you to hear. Follow Joao as he travels from Ibiza to Allentown in search of Atlantis.

How do you follow in the footsteps of the man who built the ninth wonder of the world? Not by pissing in your own boots. The Ventures head to Gargantua-1, a massive space station, to try and make the PROBLEM light turn off. Brock gets tied up in a love triangle between two weirdos, and the boys hunt down the Phantom Space Man.
