Watch Out for Fireballs! 331: Darkest Dungeon (Premium)
Ruin has come to this podcast network.You remember your venerable network? The one you're listening to right now?Big thanks to Jack for throwing this lil number our way. A systems forward strategy game sort of about being the HR guy for a lovecraftian hamlet, but it's so much more. We've rarely been more in The Gary Zone than this, and while K is a lil cooler on it, he can see that there's so much to admire here. Buckle up for rou...
Watch Out for Fireballs! 330: Singularity
It's time crimes right on down the line as we tackle the forgotten 2010 shooter, Singularity. Created by Raven Software right before they were exiled to the Call of Duty mines, it's a fast-paced shooter with ambitious but under-explored time manipulation mechanics. You play as an American special forces soldier investigating a disturbance at an old Soviet military facility called Katorga-12, and by the end of things you could end up with ...
Everything to Guppy 739: Pointy Rib
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.

ORB 47: Perchance to Dean
At a compound, in an around the lake with mountains coming out of the sky, Dean assumes his destiny. At least that's what Rusty hopes will happen. This excellent episode takes the clone storyline to an unexpected place as Dean finally gets a chance to grow up, while an old part of him wants to take his place instead.Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer.

Abject Suffering 420: Pringles: The Game
Throw another entry onto our list of games about snacks. But Pringles: The Game isn't an official product... it's a Sega Genesis ROM created by a hobbyist in the 21st century. This is a labor of love, made only out of enthusiasm for those pressed salty shavings.
Bonfireside Chat Appendix: Ashen
You wrote in with your thoughts about Ashen, and they helped clarify our own dim view of the game's merits. This appendix features the highest concentration of beatdowns any single dungeon has gotten on an episode of our show, so, congrats, Seat of the Matriarch!

Watch Out for Fireballs! 329: Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Listen, there's a lot to talk about here. You could talk about how we've been doing this show for a decade, or about how Sonic exemplifies the tension between freeform arcade gameplay and the slower, more exploratory form of platformers that would ultimately win out in the end, but the real story here is that I need you to imagine a screenshot of a notes app post where I apologize for mixing up the seed drill and the cotton gin in this ep...

Adaptation Decay 54: Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
We're as surprised as you are that this turned out to be okay. But it's kinda fun! We know that Kirby's cute, but he'd also be a nightmare to live around. This 2003 cartoon presents the reality of having a Town Kirby... a pre-verbal infant cosmic monstrosity who can destroy homes on a whim. Though we disgree with his methods, we have to say it's hard to fault King Dedede for wanting him gone.

ORB 46: Handsome Ransom
The Monarch's plan to hold the boys hostage for a ransom payment is foiled by Captain Sunshine, his sometimes nemesis. What results is a fraught half hour of television that plays with rumors, jokes, and questions about the nature of the relationship between superheroes and their boy wards. But seriously, the joke is that it isn't what you think.Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Ca...

Abject Suffering 419: Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff
An episode where, admittedly, neither of us can remember a specific aspect of the Heroes of Might and Magic universe... but it doesn't matter, because this is actually just King's Bounty! So you can't trick us with your lies.
Bonfireside Chat 189: Ashen (Part 3)
You should be warned that we're really cranky in this one. As we head into the territory of the Shadow Worshippers, Ashen finds even more ways to turn us off to what might otherwise be its charm. We hit the Palace of Lathyrus and finish out the game, despite the game's best efforts to repel us with its dungeon design and noun soup story. If us being down on a game brings you down, you know what to do with this one.

A Call for Ashen Responses!
Hey there, we're looking for your thoughts on Ashen, if you have them. As always, we are looking to read responses that are concise and specific. Picture around two paragraphs, and with specific observations and comments about one aspect of the game, not a broad review of the entire thing. This helps us out tremendously.Please leave your thoughts as a comment on this post. The deadline for responses is Tuesday, September 7.Thanks!

Exquisite Suffering 124: Tail of the Sun
It's not enough to be weird! This early PSX game is about a tribe of cavemen who wander a mostly empty void, eating cookies and maybe collecting bones to make into a tower. We run out of steam talking about it, so we switch to a nuclear grade digression that you'll have to hear to believe.
Watch Out for Fireballs! 328: Katana Zero
It's rain-soaked, neon-soaked, and blood-soaked. It's Katana Zero, an action game that takes multiple pages from the Hotline Miami book. You play an unnamed contract killer with the unlikely ability to manipulate time, and you're in the middle of a conspiracy that has a lot to do with your sordid past. The play is great, but does the additional emphasis on story work out?Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

ORB 45: Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel
Season 4 opens with a weird one, as we wave bye to Brock and welcome in the Sergeant Hatred era. Brock is on the run from the OSI, planning his revenge against Hunter and Molotov, while Rusty deals with unwanted attention on his clone farms. And Dean? Well, Dean loves Hitler. It makes sense in the episode.Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer.

Unfilmable 30: Synchronic
Steve is a paramedic who just got a brain cancer diagnosis, and his best friend's daughter just went missing. This sets Steve to investigating a designer drug that, accidentally, has "time travel" as its side effect. This is our least favorite Moorhead and Benson film, primarily because of its thematic sloppiness. There's still plenty to recommend it, like the visual effects and Anthony Mackie's performance, but understand tha...
