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.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Carrion, the Nintendo Gigaleak, and we ask you about your favorite diegetic interfaces in games.

• David: West of Dead. Neon Abyss. Volcanoids.
• Kole: Carrion. Good Sudoku. Bendy and the Ink Machine.
• Dennis: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Homeworld Remastered.
• Ben: Ghost of Tsushima.

• What are your favorite ways that games have made their mechanics diegetic?

• The Nintendo Gigaleak is a huge deal.
• Someone tries to work out if every game of Slay the Spire is winnable.
• Paper Mario: Origami King has a game breaking bug.
• Stardew Valley had a game breaking bug… hours before the final version shipped.

Vibur, no vibing!

This week, we talk about escapism, and how turning to games to distract from the real world is sometimes healthy and necessary. We also answer your questions and prompts, and read your responses to July's games: Hitman 2, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, and Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
