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!

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Fall Guys, Amazon Gaming, and we ask you about your favorite times when games were deceptive.

• Jala: Sniper Elite 4.
• Dennis: Salt and Sanctuary.
• Ben: Ghost of Tsushima. Fall Guys.
• Kole: NOTHING.

• What’s your favorite time that a game tricked you?

• Amazon changes Twitch Prime to Prime Gaming.
• Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 delayed to 2020.
• Rocksteady is working on a Suicide Squad game.
• Minecraft Dungeons gets new DLC on September 8.

As normal, somwhat neurotic and flabby humans, we take this entry personally.

Big thanks to Moonborne! Though it has some early installment clunk, it's not that often that we get to play what is arguably (please don't argue with us) the first of a genre. Does it hold up? Does the devil cry? Does Dante get to 2nd base with someone who looks like his mom? Find out!

This is the second and final part of our Disco Elysium coverage, picking up roughly with day two of the investigation and going full-tilt into learning not just the cause of the murder, but also what's really happening in this world politically, spiritually, and emotionally. I don't want to spend a lot of time heaping sugar on the game in this post, because we do a lot of that in the episode, but it can't be overstated how special this game is.

This month we watch and discuss Wreck-It Ralph, a Disney animated film from 2012. It has a great cast and works in some very fun video game in-jokes before heading into a soggy middle section that kind of drags things down. John C. Riley's performance obviously runs away with the show, but the other big names are no slouches.

What's more dangerous after it's dead?
