The Pitch

The Popeye universe is more vast and more pointless than we initially imagined.

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! You can find one using this site

Why does this exist?

Even though Mortal Kombat is pretty juvenile, it makes zero sense to create a childrens' cartoon based on the property. So this show from 1996 is already on a bad foot. Additionally, it's also extremely bad. The animation and blocking are poor, the dialogue is 90% cheesy one-liners, and too much of the runtime is taken up by dogfighting in dragon jets. Wait, did you not know there were jets?

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about the Dread X Collection, For the King, and we ask you which video games should be made into board games.

• Dennis: For the King. Valorant. Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
• David: For the King. Just Cause 4. Dead Rising 4.
• Ben: Deep Rock Galactic. Picross.
• Kole: Dread X Collection.

• Which video games should be made into board games, and vice versa?

• PS5 event happened in the future in the past!
• Devotion is getting a physical release in Taiwan.

Don't be a sap.

This premium WOFF! looks at the strangest of the DS Castlevania games.

Before they became all the rage in the indie space, you headed to the DS if you wanted to play a Metroidvania game. Konami eventually lost interest in making them, but before they did, they gave us one of our favorite entries in the series: Order of Ecclesia. It bucks the trends of previous games inspired by Symphony of the Night and focuses on tough but fair combat and a very expressive Glyph spell system. Is it for everyone? Probably not. But we hope this episode makes a case for why it might be for you.

Thank you SindrElf!

Gary and Kole take a stilted perspective walk down memory lane, towards the camera for some reason.
