Remap Radio 142: Entering Our 40's Era
There comes a time in every person's life when they must contend with the question: which golf game is for me?

Patrick’s third Summer Game Fest comes to a conclusion with the second installment in his two-part diary series, where he walks you through his thoughts, reactions, interviews, and observations from the show.

Remap Radio: Beard Boys Everywhere
Alas, it’s time to say goodbye to another round of trailermania, but in the meantime, there’s so much for Rob, Patrick, Janet, and Chia to discuss.

Remap Radio 139 — Double Oh Seven
Breaking News: three members of Remap Radio are really enjoying 007 First Light, a new stealth/action/Hitman-esque game from the developers behind, of course, Hitman.

Mina the Hollower’s Long Journey Underground Is Over
The developers of Shovel Knight are, at long last, back with a new game—and despite the long wait, it’s absolutely fantastic.

Bubsy is an unlikely franchise to be receiving a new sequel in 2026. Bubsy 4D arrives this week, following one of the worst received platformers of all-time, Bubsy 3D. But is Bubsy 3D misunderstood?

The Clowns and Criminals of Titanium Court
One of the most fascinating games of 2026 is Titanium Court. Is Titanium Court a match-3 video game? Yes. A tower defense game? Yes. An adventure game? Well, yes.

To learn more, Patrick spoke with Titanium Court designer AP Thomson about making a game about mysteries, the highs and lows of working
Remap Radio: $22.99 Has a Bad Vibe
The biggest move since Xbox installed a new CEO is a familiar move: changing the price of Game Pass.

The Story of Minishoot’ Adventures
When Séverin Larose was a kid, he would hang out with his cousin and watch him play games. That’s the key word: watch. Larose’s parents long had a zero tolerance policy for games. Decades later, Larose would partner with his cousin to rise to the top of the Flash game charts and eventually create one of the best Metroidvania games of the past few years, Minishoot’ Adventures. (And, yes, b

Games Feel Doomed. We Tried to Find Hope at PAX East
Every day is a fresh horror in the world of games, but no matter what happens to the “industry,” the art isn’t going away. Where does one find hope? Patrick went shopping for hope at PAX East and came way inspired after chatting with a series of interesting developers, including El Paso, Elsewhere director (and Hellraiser voice actor!!) Xalavier Nelson Jr., Paranormal Activity: Threshold
Live From Rob’s Compound

We’ve also been playing video games, of course, with
Two Friends and a Naive Dream: Make a Cinematic Platformer
When Adam Stjärnljus and Klas Eriksson met in middle school, little did they know they’d become close friends and decades later decide to chase a wild dream of making a video game together. They were not video game developers, but for years, they toiled away at what would eventually become the cinematic platformer Planet of Lana. A few years later, the sequel is here, and Patrick recently

This week, Patrick is happily joined by writer and editor Nicole Clark to discuss her piece for the new publ
Hey Xbox, Are You Okay?
Last Friday, news broke that much of the senior leadership that’s been steering Xbox for the past decade and more have departed the company. Phil Spencer? Retired. Sarah Bond? Gone. Instead, one of the members of that group, Matt Booty, has ascended alongside a new Xbox CEO that comes from Microsoft’s—wait for it—AI division. Rob and Patrick spent a few minutes (okay, an hour!) trying to
Remap Radio 125 : The Harbinger of Failure (or Anti-influencer)
It’s time to take The Warden’s Oath and listen to a new episode of Remap Radio, as Patrick, Janet, Chia, Rob, and Danika break down the wild ups and downs of the latest confused live service game, Highguard. We also sigh in the direction of a video game publication pivoting to AI, then sigh in the direction of Mewgenics, a game that Patrick quite liked before its designer decided to publi
Love Eternal Is Fine If You Never Experience Its Terrifying Story
Platformers are not a genre exactly known for their storytelling prowess, but Love Eternal, described as a “psychological horror platformer,” is trying to be different. It’s also one of the hardest platformers in a minute. Why is Love Eternal putting so much effort into a story many players might not experience? Patrick talked with Love Eternal designer Toby Alden to find out.See Privacy
Remap Radio — Internal Discord
It’s a return to normalcy on Remap Radio, as we finally wave goodbye to 2025.

Edmund McMillen Is Still Nervous About Releasing a Video Game
Between the success of Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, you might assume designer Edmund McMillen is feeling confident going into the release of his latest game, the tactics-focused Mewgenics. But it turns out self esteem issues, insecurity, and hoping people like what you’ve made is not a feeling that ever goes away, no matter how many people buy your games.See Privacy Policy at http
Remap Radio — Game of the Year (Part 4)
We did it. We finished recording game of the year podcasts! Wait, well, almost. Mostly. So, uh, Danika got sick at the last second, which means it’s Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Chia rotating through their final favorites from 2025. Don’t worry, it happened quickly: only four hours! Remap Radio reverts to a normal format next week, though we’ll still talk through Danika’s final games. P.S. We
Can a Podcast Help a Visa Application?
In January, Patrick was contacted by a developer with a unique request. They were applying for a Visa application that would have a better chance of approval if there were articles (or podcasts) about their work.

The podcasts will continue until morale improves! In this case, the podcast will continue until we’re able to get halfway through everyone’s lists, even if that means we’re finishing recording well past the three-hour mark and Rob is beginning to glitch out. Come join Danika, Janet, Chia, Patrick, and Rob as they continue chatting up their favorite games of 2025. On last week’s podcast, w
Sports! — The Jinx
The magic that kept the Chicago Bears alive amidst many moments of potential death ran out in a snowy and cold day in the Windy City. Patrick was at the game, Rob was on his couch, but both of them are shockingly optimistic about what this loss says about the future. Plus, Patrick documented his adventures to Soldier Field. You’ll hear that before Rob and Patrick chat about where to place

How long will it take for Rob, Danika, Janet, Chia, and Patrick to actually make it through their entire lists? Well, who knows. T
Sports! — Team of Destiny
The Cardiac Bears, more like it. Halfway through the Chicago Bears squaring up against their longtime rival/older brother, the Green Bay Packers, it looked over. It only took a pep talk from Patrick’s brother, calling in Patrick’s dad to cash in some chips from heaven, and Rob’s partner buying thousands of dollars of potentially useless medical equipment to turn things around. Plus, the r

Remap Radio 123 — New Year, Same Us
2026 is here, which means our Game of the Year podcasts are on the horizon, too. But first, it’s time for Rob, Danika, Chia, Janet, and Patrick to gather in front of some microphones and wonder if letting an AI beat a video game boss for you is cheating. Plus, for once, it’s not Rob considering buying a new PC! We’ve also got reactions to Chia beating Silksong, Patrick beating Metroid Pri
Sports! — Wild Cards
The healthiest thing for Rob and Patrick—psychologically, spiritually—probably would have been for the Bears to narrowly miss the playoffs. Enter 2026 with a clean slate. Instead, it’s once again Groundhog Day, because the Bears will once again face their rival, the Packers, in another high-stakes matchup. It’s nice to be in the playoffs, but what if being there kills us? Plus, a surprisi
Sports! — They F’ing Did It
Five wins. Seven wins. These were the predictions of Rob and Patrick halfway through what has turned into a magically fun season for the Chicago Bears. Over the weekend, the team that has haunted them their entire adult lives, the Green Bay Packers, fell in spectacular fashion, as the Bears launched a sports existential crisis throughout the state of Wisconsin. Folks, it’s glorious.See Pr

It’s the last Remap Radio of 2025! Sadly, Danika fell sick before we recording, but we’ve still got Rob, Janet, Patrick, and Chia here to try and make sense of the wild backlash to Larian Studios revealing they’re using AI tools for their next game, Divinity. Elsewhere, we’ve been playings lots of video games, including Janet backtracking on Consume Me (!!!!), plus discussions of Lego Par

Also, in The Question Bucket, we try to s
Remap Developer Interview: Routine
It’s shocking that Routine, a sci-fi horror game announced all the way back in 2012, is finally here. It’s a game that died along the way, only to be resurrected in a surprise twist of fate. It’s a game that basically bankrupted the people who were making it. They were almost homeless because of it. And yet, Routine is here. It’s a video game you can play right now. Which is why it was so
Sports! — Moral Victories
The Bears are better than we thought they’d be. But are they actually good? It’s hard to make that argument after (yet again) another loss to the Packers, but screw it, we’re going to make it anyway. Plus, we chat about some other NFL storylines, including the implosion of the Indianapolis Colts, the prospect of Patrick Mahomes not being in the playoffs, and more. We also listen to a bunc
Remap Radio 120 - Wholeslop
Rob’s internet went kaput right before recording, but that’s not gonna stop Danika, Patrick, Janet, and Chia from huddling up for a new episode of Remap Radio.

Just when we thought Rob was coming back—well, he got sick. Fortunately, we’ve still got Patrick, Chia, Janet, and Danika on this week’s episode of Remap Radio, where we recount our group’s sickness streak, react to the latest slate of nominees for The Game Awards, and remember legendary game developer Rebecca Heineman.

Sports! — Is This Real?
Once again, the Chicago Bears have been involved in a very weird football game. But once again, they have prevailed in a game that, in years past, they would have lost. Is this real? Are the Bears actually good? The answer is probably somewhere in the middle, but amidst the stress, we’ll be thankful for the lack of heartbreak—for now, anyway. Plus, the World Series is over and it was incr
Remap Radio 116 - Ball Pit Patrick
The Remap Crew really gets into the Halloween spirit, mostly by dying from laughter and being otherwise childish. After an appropriately somber news section discussing the massive Amazon layoffs, Microsoft's ridiculous profit margin targets, and moral at EA deteriorating after workers are forced to use AI, we try our best to talk about the games we've been playing, or at least, have tried
