Remap Radio

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 and Rob are joined by YouTube creator and DIY enthusiast Chris Decker to discuss what it’s like to propose building your own heated driveway and have your wife believe it’s not possible. But Chris pulled it off, and by the end, convinces Rob and Patrick they should dream big, too.Check out Chris' channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf6UALBweRXITTshQKo9WNASee 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. (Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense.) We’re releasing this After Dark to everyone, so you can understand how we got here, what we’re doing, and where it’s all going. We’re really excited!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Bears have won a game! Do we want them to win more? The answer is a bit more complicated than you might expect, but oddly enough fans of other teams are even more conflicted about what constitutes a "good" outcome if your team is not competitive in the current NFL landscape. Can you only get a good quarterback by being bad? How do you feed and water a young NFL quarterback? Maybe a veteran being plugged into a good team is the winning play but, hang on, look how Russell Wilson in Denver has panned out. That could have been the Bears! Finally, Rob and Patrick talk about the most overpowered play in the NFL right now, and then belatedly process the shock of the brutal ending to the Cubs season. Finally, listener questions, and a countdown to regular season Bulls games.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gaming critic and editor Carli Velocci joins the crew to discuss her journey in gaming media. They cover topics such as layoffs at Telltale, CD Projekt workers unionizing, John Riccitiello leaving Unity, and the games Cocoon, The Mortuary Assistant, Lords of the Fallen, and Robocop: Rogue City.

Microsoft's massive Xbox leaks, Embracer Group layoffs, Cyberpunk 2077 updates, Lies of P game, and the upcoming Forza game are discussed.

They explore flaws in Empire Total War and mods, recent gaming experiences, customizable weapons, lack of consequences in video games, and frustration with Xbox's user interface.

It’s only two weeks into the NFL season, but it’s already time to say goodnight to the losing Chicago Bears. Listen as Patrick and Rob come to terms with returning to a familiar cycle in Chicago: rooting for your team to lose. We discuss the nature of successful organizations, before talking through the delights of Tua Tagovailoa, the shaky Eagles, and COACH PRIME BABY!!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
