The Pitch

Talk about submarine life segues abruptly into the dismal dystopia of Cameo.

Nyarlathotep's thirst for Egyptian blood continues unabated.

Our next Bonfireside Chat game is 2017's The Surge, the sci-fi Soulslike. You play as Warren, a man fused to an exoskeleton who wakes up after a horrible disaster and tries to get to the bottom of it. This episode covers the game's generalities and the Abandoned Production area, up through the first boss.

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 David talk about Resident Evil 3, Overcooked 2, and the Last of Us 2 delay.

• Kole: Resident Evil 3.
• Dennis: Overcooked 2. The Cycle.
• Ben: Death Stranding.
• David: The Division 2.

• You can only keep one save game file, and all others are deleted. Which do you save?

• Riot has a convoluted scheme for distributing the Valorant beta.
• Rocksmith DLC has ended.
• Boston Gamestops forced to close.
• The Last of Us 2 delayed indefinitely.
• Someone build’s Conway’s Game of Life in Conway’s Game of Life.

It's a big gooey Bad Year Blimp.

We welcome Legend of Grimrock II to the pantheon of masterpieces we've covered for the show. It's a throwback to retro dungeon crawlers with tense combat and ingenious puzzles. It's light on story, but heavy on atmosphere, and consistently good throughout. People who like when we gush about good games will like this episode a lot.
