Episodes
Remap Radio 150 — Grand Theft Podcast
So far as we know, nobody is leaking clips from this podcast, but the same can’t be said for Grand Theft Auto VI. Join Patrick, Chia, and Janet as they reminisce about how their parents treated GTA growing up, Netflix’s latest signal they don’t know what to do with video games, and plenty of games talk, including impressions of Netflix’s (impressive!) Unhinged experiment, MiO: Memories in
Do Video Games Belong in Prison?
Patrick sits down with Nicole Carpenter to discuss her article on the prisoners at Rikers prison and their access to video games. Which games are provided to them, and who gets to make that decision? They also break down the biases people carry about who should have access to games, and how that access changes the prisoners' day to day life.A Virtual Escape for Riker's Inmates by Nicole C
Sports! — Da Bears Are (Almost) Back
Are you a down bad enough sicko to watch NFL pre-season football? That’s the question that Patrick poses to Rob as they kick off a new episode of Sports! We also discuss the state of sports journalism, the rise of analysis over journalism, what happened to The Athletic, the ongoing culture war in the WNBA, and much more. Plus, we strongly consider a trip to Detroit.See Privacy Policy at h
Remap Radio 149 — Please Opt In to This Podcast
It is with a heavy heart that we share that the XCOM and Star Wars mashup, Star Wars: Zero Company, seems pretty good. You have another video game to play this year. At least, that’s what Rob told Patrick and Chia on this episode of Remap Radio, where we chat about turn-based Clone Wars, Twitch’s shockingly honest admission about AI, why nobody should work at Saber Interactive, the great
Remap Radio 148 — It’s in the Game. Or Is it?
There’s little evidence the Electronic Arts going private because it’s being bought by a Saudi Arabian-backed financial group is good for the industry, but who was expecting good news these days? Rob, Chia, and Patrick mull this latest development, news that Sony isn’t giving back any tariff money, and talk about a bunch of games, including Chia’s adventures at GenCon and Patrick finishin
Remap Radio 147: A Portentous Pod
This podcast episode was born under a bad sign as avian wildlife besmirch Rob's finest attire shortly before the recording. After surveying a grim landscape of games, news, the gang sits down to a pretty good summer of games with Janet digging Townfall and Incident at Galley House, Patrick playing some really cool platformers, and Rob catching Super Mega Baseball Fever.A Bird Hath Shat Up
Samuel Horti on Super Mega Baseball
Samuel Horti joins Rob to talk about Super Mega Baseball. They discuss its brilliant “traits” system, never-to-be-beaten difficulty settings, delightfully slippery pitching and batting controls, and the “just-enough” franchise mode. They also discuss whether the game is truly an arcade baseball game, or if it’s occupying space that hardcore sims began from in the SNES and Pentium eras.See
Remap Radio 146 - Entomology Etymology
You’re getting the Fallout and the Elder Scrolls you’ve been clamoring for, eventually, along with the option to stream games to your XBOX DEVICE with ads, but you’re going to love them. They’ll actually contribute to the experience! Chia and Rob are getting absolutely worked in Marathon’s new Vaultbreaker PvE mode, while Janet contemplates her delight in the Steam Machine and her seethin
Sports! - World Cup Fever
A beautiful game deserves a beautiful podcast, so Janet and Rob sat down to discuss the 2026 World Cup. Is Argentina that punchable or are people just tired of them? Does soccer romanticize a rags-to-riches pastime that is increasingly at odds with a stratified global sport that permits a dwindling number of real contenders? Can an event like the World Cup be ruined by the rancid politics
Remap Radio — The Right Gear
When in doubt, use a bout of insomnia to justify the purchase of a fancy new PC accessory. Maybe this, though, will be the one that makes Rob’s dreams come true. On the latest episode of Remap Radio, Patrick and Chia remain a bit skeptical. Still, we indulge in much car talk, accessory talk, and eventually, game talk. Has EA already broken College Football? Has Rob ascended in Marathon? I
Remap Radio 144: The Horny Happy Meal
The humid days of summer does not stop Remap Radio. Join Chia, Janet, Rob, and Patrick as they further talk through Xbox’s generational reset, PlayStation’s announcement that it’s ditching discs, some initial thoughts on the Steam Machine, deck TV feelings, and more.

The Xbox Reset Is Here
We knew Xbox was going to undergo a massive transformation, and now we have some of the details of what that transformation will look like. A combination of mass layoffs and studio divestments is leaving Xbox in a very different place. But what does the future like? What kinds of games will Xbox prioritize in the future? What does it mean to have ambitions of a billion players each day—an
Remap Radio 143 — Linux Dot Com
Sit down and prepare for a tale of woe, misery, and humiliation in the world of Marathon, before Rob, Patrick, Chia, and Janet go down a gunpla rabbit hole, try to figure out who the newly expensive Steam Machine is for, and share thoughts a number of games, including Silver Pines, Tethergeist, Star Fox, About Fishing, Iron Nest, and more. We also talk through an AI jump scare.Links: Gund
Rob's First Costco
Patrick, Mr. Kirkland himself, has made the trip to the east coast to meet up with Chia and Rob, which can only mean one thing: Rob's breaking in his brand new Costco membership under the tutelage of the master himself. Listen in as we wander the liminal space of the Costco parking lot, marvel at the sights and sounds of the Costco produce fridge, and pay our respects to the humble chicke
Sports! — We’re So Back, It’s So Over
Has it really been [checks notes] four months since an episode of Sports!? Don’t worry, your patience will be rewarded, especially if you wait until the end, when Patrick reveals a story he’s been sitting on for weeks that had Rob trying to avoid breaking his monitor. In more pleasant moments, Rob and Patrick weigh their options if a genie granted them tickets guaranteed to make their tea
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? For Rob, well he and his dad spent some time this past week hitting the links in PGA 2k25. Patrick and Chia were both won over by a totally Normal Golf Game, (which they will make Rob play next week when the crew gathers at Highground). Unfortunately, there's only so much golfing
Summer Game Fest 2026: A Diary (Part 2)
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. Some of this was recorded from home, some was recorded directly on-site, reflecting the way so much of Summer Game Fest continues after the show is “over.”Reminder: Last year, the pr
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. Besides mulling the latest bleak news about the future of Xbox and GOG sending out weird emails, Janet and Patrick were at Summer Game Fest and walked amongst the video games, where there was lots of conversations about the AI alongside hands-
Summer Game Fest 2026: A Diary (Part 1)
Patrick always brings a microphone with him to Summer Game Fest, but this year, he decided to record his observations and interviews in real-time.

Remap Radio 140: Stay Focused, Faye
Summer Game Fest is upon us! But before that, join Patrick, Chia, and Janet as they react to Sony’s lengthy State of Play presentation, and why some of the high-profile games left them feeling a little cold (even if they’re absolutely going to play them). Plus, what to make of Tomb Raider’s AI disclosure? What the heck is a “broughlike”? Do we really need a Rayman Legends remake? Plus, up
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. But Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Chia are also enjoying and thinking about other things, including apocalyptic signs in the PC buying market, the return of “due to ongoing market conditions” (now with a jingle!), and questions a
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. Mina the Hollower is a love letter to topdown games like Zelda, mixed in with elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and many others. It’s also had a long journey towards release, which was a topic of conversation during a recent chat Patrick had with Yacht Club Game

The People vs. Bubsy 4D
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? What did the original games do right? And why make a sequel, when you could make anything? Patrick went digging for answers with Bubsy 4D developers Fabian Rastorfer and Ben Miller to ask a si

Remap Radio 136 - Diamond F’ing Hands or Whatever

(This time it’s Janet!) In The Question Bucket, we ponder what g
Every Good Story Needs a Banging Soundtrack
Mixtape is a new game from Beethoven & Dinosaur, the studio behind 2021’s whimsical musical adventure The Artful Escape. It’s Life Is Strange (absent the supernatural) by way of John Hughes.

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. Does the entire game, at times, feel like an elaborate trick been played on you? Absolutely. 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. Which gets the Remap Radio crew into a long consideration of the vibes around various price points. Does $8.99 feel good? Does $11.99? Join Rob, Janet, Chia, and Patrick as they consider money, before talking about Gamers (tm) suing Nintendo over tariffs, Rob’s early experiences in Crimson
Remap Radio 133: Prag-mat-uh to Me, Prag-mah-tah to You

Plus, Patrick and Jane
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
Remap Radio 132: By Rook or By Crook
A week without a stressful AI story? Truly, a blessing! Welcome to a new episode of Remap Radio, where instead we mull what, if any, obligation game developers have to online games that find success in an era of live service.

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!!)

Live From Rob’s Compound
A trip to PAX East means we’re not that far from Rob’s extremely normal house! Patrick and Chia hopped in a car to inspect the fabled grounds for themselves, before they piled into Rob’s office to chat about spotting Charlie Kirk t-shirts at on the show floor, a bunch of neat games Chia and Patrick played, and a long recounting of an excellent recent game of John Company.See Privacy Polic

10 Years of Being Max Caulfield
Max “Hella” Caulfield may have the ability to manipulate time and space, but despite her superpowers, it’s more than likely that this week’s release of Life Is Strange: Reunion signals the end of Life Is Strange.

Join Patrick, Janet, Chia, and Danika for Remap Radio, where it’s time for another upsetting trip into the world of “Hey, why did this live service game fail?” with Highguard and “Hey, it really feels like AI is rotting things?” with the news that a video game website was caught publishing an AI-written Resident Evil 9: Requiem review. 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
