Remap Radio

Now that the SAG-Aftra strike is finally over, we're finally releasing the final, exremely apt episode of My Turn: Armageddon. The end of the world is fast approaching and humanity's last line of defense depends on a group of Rowdy Oil Drilers. Come with us and cringe at the late 90's slurs, laugh at the ridiculous premises, and revel in a dramatic reading of Roger Ebert's absolute extinction-level-event of a review.https://nordvpn.com/remapradioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rob and Patrick are delighted to welcome Aftermath co-founder Luke Plunkett on Sports! to discuss what it means to “retire” from playing sports recreationally, the chaotic and frustrating rise of overly nuanced replay reviews in every sport, and preview the NBA season. By preview, of course, we mean talk about how nobody actually watches the first months of basketball.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We’re thrilled to welcome back Janet Garcia, in which we spend a depressingly long time unpacking the shocking and wide-ranging layoffs at Bungie, and what it says about a year of incredible games clashing with a year of incredible labor turmoil. In-between discussions of 90s Chicago sports, we talk about the highs and lows of Super Mario Bros. Wonder multiplayer, trying to crack long RPGs, and more exploits in buying unnecessary arcade machines.Discussed: Rolling Layoffs at Sony hit Bungie 21:49, Baldur's Gate 3 51:34, Super Mario Bros.

Patrick kicks off Remap’s game developer interview series with Cocoon, a game of the year caliber puzzle game about guiding a little insect friend through a dangerous journey. Lead audio director Jakob Schmid and lead art director Erwin Kho join Patrick in a wide-ranging conversation about everything from being traumatized by movies like Alien and Fire in the Sky at young ages, to realizing you basically grew up next to your creative partner and didn’t even know it. They also talk a whole lot about what it was like building one of this year’s best games.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We’re excited to welcome Janet Garcia (Pen to Pixels, Kinda Funny, MinnMax) to Remap Radio this week, because there’s just a gauntlet of gaming bangers to talk about, between the arrival of a brand-new Remedy game, Alan Wake 2, and spending lots of time with Spider-Man 2. Patrick has issues with how Super Mario Bros. Wonder plays when kids are involved, and the group discovers that the purchase of a Ms. Pac-Man machine will not solve all of life’s problems.Discussed: Alan Wake 2 13:46, Spider Man 2 1:16:46, Super Mario Wonder 1:47:13, The Question Bucket 1:52:45See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Patrick, Cado, and Rob gather to discuss the biggest change to Remap since launch. We have a website, we’re bringing back writing, and there are some changes coming to our backing tiers.
