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.

Turns out Nyarlathotep is a big fan of Alan Wake.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Half-Life: Alyx, Nine Parchments, and we ask you which game characters you would kill off for good.

• Jala: Nine Parchments. Trine 3.
• Kole: Half-Life: Alyx.
• Dennis: The Division 2. Steamworld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech. Dirt Rally 2.
• Ben: Death Stranding.

• Which game character would you kill off for good?

• Resident Evil 4 remake is in the works.
• Goldfinger releases a quarantine video of them performing your favorite song from THPS1.
• Half-Life: Alyx can be modded to work without VR… kind of.
• Microsoft Flight Simulator is getting some neat online features.

The New Colossus is a very strange game. By our usual metrics, this sequel isn't as good as its predecessor. The levels are bad, and the difficulty tuning is way out of whack. Instead, what makes us love this game is its audacity, and how well it tells its story... sometimes even through play! Billy begins the game near death, having lost his leader and his ability to walk. But he still mounts up and puts together a resistance movement to take back America and begin the revolution against the Nazis, once and for all.

Like sands through the hourglass, everything ages. But because time is an ocean in a storm, not a river, some things age better than others, even within the same game. Kole and Gary talk about this well regarded classic and figure out which parts are delicious and which are past their sell-by date.

Richard "Dynamite Dick" "Demo Dick" "Rogue Warrior" Marcinko is a foul-mouthed former Navy Seal who committed a bunch of war crimes, wrote an autobiography, then wrote a series of fictional books about things he would have done, then wrote a self help business book. Then 20 years later there was a horrible video game based on him, with a rap song at the end. Mickey Rourke did the voice. Welp, that's all you need to know.

This is bothersome to people with stinky disaster junk.

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!
