The Pitch

Mr. Bean is the world's favorite pre-verbal homunculus, blundering around like a Roomba and upsetting society ladies. Don't worry, we don't see Mr. Bean as an indictment of the British isles like, say, Little Britain. We just don't get him! And that probably has to do with not really being exposed to him at an age when Bean antics would have taken. What we can all agree on is that the PS2 game that bears Mr. Bean's name is just awful.

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.

This week we look at a humble, gag-based point and click puzzle game that's a parody of a parody of MacGuyver. We also talk about the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito film Junior. At length.

Hey everyone, they made Dark Souls III good! Okay, to be less flip about it, the Cinders mod fixes a good number of the gameplay issues we had with the base experience of Dark Souls III. Poise is fixed, build variety is better-honored, and things are a touch less linear. This is a herculean gameplay mechanics mod that adds a ton of items from elsewhere in the Soulsborne series, and we really recommend giving it a try if you're able.

October's horror game parade continues with Soma, a game that questions what makes us us. Simon is an unlucky guy. He gets a brain scan to help him with a terminal condition, and wakes up in a facility at the bottom of the ocean, eighty years in the future, after the world has ended. To make matters worse, a rogue AI is warping bodies and minds and seeking to re-assimilate anyone who's trying to escape. It's a survival tragedy game that asks loftier questions than most games ask and it's a suitable followup for Frictional.
