The Pitch

This week begins our coverage of Blasphemous, a Soulslike platformer developed in Spain. Featuring some of the best pixel art, music, and tone we've seen in these games, it's an aesthetic feast.

This first episode covers the mechanical generalities and the opening, up through the dungeon called Mercy Dreams.

Darren accidentally brings us a kind of okay game.

A sphere with an identity crisis.

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!

Bayou Billy is an infamously bad NES game by Konami. So it only makes sense that we spend the whole episode brainstorming ScorpWorld.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Deep Rock Galactic, Hunt: Showdown, and we do some Christmas shopping for game characters.

• Dennis: What the Golf. Sayonara Wild Hearts. Exit the Gungeon. Word Laces. Hunt: Showdown.
• Jala: Bedtime Blues. Cosmic Star Heroine.
• Ben: Deep Rock Galactic. Disco Elysium.
• Kole: Devotion.

• Name a game character and what they most want under the Christmas tree.

• Resident Evil 3 Remake is necessary.
• There’s an N64 controller adapter for the Switch.
• The Outer Worlds is getting DLC in 2020.
• Hellblade is getting a sequel, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

It's a storm that summons another storm and I'm dying, you guys.
