Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.

Remap Sports! Ep. 2 ft. Danny O'Dwyer
Shift+F1 and NoClip's Danny O'Dwyer comes to chat with Patrick and Rob about the Enhanced Games, pro cycling, the other football, celebrity team owners, and Irish sports. We probably talked about even more stuff but honestly it just turned into a good sports hang-out and bounced around a lot with increasingly little structure. Oh but there was a really good listener-submitted quiz that the gang took on pro cycling terms! That was great.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remap Radio 06 - Do Pikmin Have Souls?
Jordan Minor, author of the upcoming book Video Game of the Year (featuring both Patrick and Austin!), joins the rest of the Remap Radio crew to discuss Steam trying to grapple with AI art, and what it means to create in a world of creation-focused algorithms. Elsewhere, we chat about Jordan plotting video game history through his book, Patrick’s played (and enjoyed!) the Pikmin 4 demo, Ren’s dumping many more CRPG hours into Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Tyranny, while Jordan wonders what Pokémon can learn from Cassette Beasts. In The Question Bucket, we consider the nature of nostalgia and whether video game leveling systems make any sense.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Interview with "Citizen Sleeper" Developer Gareth Damian Martin
This is one of the first interviews Patrick recorded as a member of Remap Radio, finally reaching your ears! Patrick and Cado recall their time with Citizen Sleeper as an introduction to Patrick's interview with Gareth Damian Martin, the lead developer behind Citizen Sleeper. They talk about how Citizen Sleeper 2 isn't what you might expect out of a sequel, how it differs from the original both in setting and mechanics, and where both game's narrative inspiration comes from.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 04 - The Hot Wizards Are Smoking
The world is going gaga for sexy elephant Mario! At least, that’s what the crew at Remap Radio is telling themselves as they recap Nintendo Direct, and wonder if Embracer is a pyramid scheme. Elsewhere, Patrick’s experiencing the highs (hot wizards) and lows (a world not worth exploring) of Final Fantasy XVI, Rob’s really come around on the new Star Trek game, and Ren’s playing [checks notes] every Armored Core. We also find some time for your questions.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My Turn - The Bourne Legacy
The Wheel of My Turn rolls ever onward! Rob's pick of The Bourne Legacy was partially a joke, a bit of a dare, but he didn't expect the universe would call his bluff! Remap is picking right up where Waypoint left off with this attempted spin-off sequel to the Bourne franchise that has a lot of "TNT Movie" energy, as Patrick put it. We discuss the very obvious studio influence over the film, the bits that were good, and the Jeremy Renner of it all.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Remap Radio Episode 3 - A Summer Games Smorgasbord
We heard y’all like 5 star runtimes, so we put some interviews in your podcast and served up a quite frankly disgusting amount of megabytes for your listening pleasure. This is Remap’s first “event” as a company so we’ve gone absolutely hog wild on Summer Game Fest, both discussing standouts we saw during the myriad showcases and dropping interviews that Patrick did while out in sunny LA.Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sticking to Sports
Sports! on Waypoint is dead, long live Sports! on Remap. We kick off our return with a banger, as we discuss the NBA Finals by way of Jimmy Butler’s all-time playoff run and Nikola Jokic’s charming indifference towards being one of the best basketball players alive. Elsewhere, we attempt to unpack the PGA getting extremely cozy with Saudi Arabia after spending the past year talking crap about them, and answer listener questions, such as “What’s Chili Parlous?”Support the show: https://www.remapradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
