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!

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.

She designed that sign you know.

Kole, Ben, Jala, and David talk about Vaporum, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, and we ask you about your preferred nostalgic adaptations.

• Ben: Deep Rock Galactic. Control.
• Jala: Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. Vaporum.
• David: Deep Rock Galactic. TemTem.
• Kole: Alone in the Dark: Inferno. Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin.

• What show from your childhood would you like to see adapted to a modern video game?

• Plague, Inc. is not a reliable source of information about the coronavirus.
• Atari is opening up hotels.
• Royal Mail is releasing video game stamps in the UK.
• Washington Post names Ghost Recon Breakpoint as the worst game of 2019.
• Portland man plays games on airport monitor.
• Outer Worlds devs watch and comment on 12 minute speed run of their own game.

With all of the information we have about games and their developers, "should I play this game" is a question that isn't easily answered by knowing if it's good or not. We talk about common bad practices of developers and publishers (crunch, exploitative monetization, etc.) and our strategies for coming to grips with what it means to support or not support a game.

We also answer your questions and prompts, and read your responses to January's games!
