Patrick spent a few days in Los Angeles at this year's Summer Game Fest, and in-between equal parts beer and coffee, he found time to chat with a bunch of game developers at the show about their games (and fascism). First up, we've got interviews with the developers behind Sword of the Sea (the new game from the developers of The Pathless), Morsels (an intriguing roguelike from Annapurna), Relooted (a heist game about taking back stolen African artifacts), and Grave Seasons (a fascinating and hilarious mashup of horror and cozy farm sims).Discussed: Sword of the Sea 6:52, Morsels 29:04, Relooted 43:15, Grave Seasons 58:37 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We recorded this ahead of Summer Game Fest and State of Play, which explains why Patrick, Chia, Rob, and Janet spend the opening moments of the podcast talking about cleaning responsibilities in the home. But we've also played a bunch of games, including changing our mind about Elden Ring: Nightreign, Popucom, Deliver at all Costs, Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, and hey, Janet's finished Clair Obscure! No, Chia has not finished Despelote. In The Question Bucket, we continue to mull the metroidvania question.

Elsewhere, we wonder if Marathon is cooked, bring back the classic Buying or Selling segment to consider using ChatGPT to plan a five-year-old's birthday party, and talk about a bunch of games, including Death Stranding, Hopshot, Despelote, Blue Prince, Roblox (??), and more.

While high-fiving Remap fans and drinking Boston IPAs, Patrick walked the floor of PAX East with a microphone, chatting with developers along the way. This podcast is the result, featuring conversations about running a horror-focused game developer, the struggles of being an independent game developer who is also a parent, how to deal with overprotective owners of high-profile movie characters, and ways to solve game discovery with a…card game? Naturally.Discussed: Ludoscene 4:16, We Harvest Shadows 21:42, DreadXP 41:29, Dead by Daylight 1:02:43See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We're back from Boston, which means Janet is back, too! The absolutely wild resolution to the unrest at Giant Bomb kicks off the podcast, with Patrick, Rob, Janet, and Chia celebrating Giant Bomb's newfound independence, contrasting it with their own breakup with Vice, and more. We also chat about the Fallout TV show's second season premiering later this year, the developers behind Outer Wilds making a new game, and a bunch of actual games, including (of course) Clair Obscur, Shotgun Copman, Despelote, Bionic Bay, MechWarrior 5, and a few others.Discussed: Giant Bomb is Back and Worker Owned 1:04.374, Valnet trying to re-hire for Polygon 21:28, Fallout Season 3 Gets Announced before Season 2 is out 49:06, Balatro 1:12:06, Mechwarrior 5 1:14:06, Bionic Bay 1:22:54, Clair Obscur 1:31:26, Despelote 1:51:26, Shotgun Copman 1:58:44, The Question Bucket 2:06:52See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Rob, Patrick, and Chia have traveled to PAX East, though only two of us actually spent time wandering around the show floor before sitting down to record an in-person version of Remap Radio. (We also recorded a video version that'll be released soon.) But Patrick and Chia played a bunch of very cool games, including Demonschool, Fretless, that grimdark Pac-Man game, Aksun, A Good Night's Rest, and more. Plus, an exciting brand-new segment: buying or selling.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
As part of LudoNarraCon, Patrick had an opportunity to spend an hour chatting with Davey Wreden, acclaimed designer behind The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide, and Wanderstop. Patrick and Davey were in similar social circles while living in San Francisco, but it's been a minute since they caught up. During the chat, the two discuss the consequences of early fame, the problems with using video game design as therapy for your soul, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's been a busy week in video games! Join Patrick, Janet, Chia, and Rob as they share chaotic stories of trying to pre-order Switch 2, what Switch 2 says about the future of physical games, the parent company of IGN suing Open AI, and what to make of union contract negotiations stalling at multiple companies.

More and more people are, “doing their own research.” Self-identified experts and influencers on podcasts (podcasts!) and social media endorse treatments that are potentially harmful and have little to no evidence of benefit, or have only been studied in animals. An increasing number of federal leaders have a track record of endorsing such products. We and our guests have noticed that in our clinical practices, patients and caregivers seem to be asking for such treatments more frequently. Ivermectin to treat cancer. Stem cell treatments. Chelation therapy. Daneila Lamas wrote about this issue in the New York Times this week -after we recorded - in her story, a family requested an herbal infusion for their dying mother via feeding tube. Our guests today, Adam Marks, Laura Taylor, & Jill Schneiderhan, have coined a term for such therapies, for Potentially Unsafe Low-evidence Treatments, or PULET. Rhymes with mullet (On the podcast we debate using the French pronunciation, though it sounds the same as the French word for chicken). We discuss an article they wrote about PULET for the American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, including: What makes a PULET a PULET? Key ingredients are both potentially unsafe and low evidence. If it's low evidence but not unsafe, not generally an issue. Think vitamins. If it's potentially unsafe, but has robust evidence, well that's most of the treatments we offer seriously ill patients! Think chemo. What counts as potentially unsafe? They include what might be obvious, e.g. health risks, and less obvious, e.g. financial toxicity. What counts as low-evidence? Animal studies? Theoretical only? Does PULET account for avoiding known effective treatments? Do elements of care that are often administered to seriously ill patients count? Yes. Think chemotherapy to imminently dying patients, or CPR. How does integrative medicine fit in with this? Jill Schneiderhan, a family medicine and integrative medicine doc, helps us think through this. How ought clinicians respond? Hint: If you're arguing over the scientific merits of a research study, you're probably not doing it right. Instead, think VitalTalk, REMAP, and uncover and align with the emotion behind the request. Does the approach shift when it's a caregiver requesting PULET for an older relative who lost capacity? How about parents advocating for a child? For more, Laura suggests a book titled, How to Talk to a Science Denier. And I am particularly happy that the idea for this podcast arose from my visit to Michigan to give Grand Rounds, and the conversations I had with Adam and Laura during the visit. We love it when listeners engage with us to suggest topics that practicing clinicians find challenging. And I get to sing Bon Jovi's Bad Medicine, which is such a fun song! -Alex Smith
You asked, we listened. Everyone at Remap played Blue Prince, but not everyone at Remap is convinced they're going to keep spending time in this mysterious mansion. But first, it's time to break down the week's news with Rob, Cado, Janet, and Patrick, as they talk through PS5 price increases, the debut of Marathon, and the increasingly credible Oblivion remaster. Plus, Rob has a serious case of MechWarrior 5: Clans fever, and we dip deep into The Question Bucket.Discussed: Rob's Tax Story 1:18, Sony Is Raising PS5 Prices 11:37, Marathon Announcement 17:18, The Oblivion Remake Leaks 33:53, Blue Prince 1:05:55, Blue Prince spoilers zone 1:22:33, Mechwarrior 5: Clans 2:03:39, The Question Bucket 2:45:13See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Look, we recorded this on Wednesday. You can't hold us accountable for the way news is changing rapidly these days. It's chaos out there. But that won't stop Janet, Rob, Cado, and Patrick from idly speculating on Nintendo pausing pre-orders in the U.S. and Canada, before talking about how BDS have called for boycotting Microsoft after it fired two employees who dared protest. We also chat about playing (and enjoying) South of Midnight, the board game Molly House, and plenty of your questions, including the correct way to reheat a slice of pizza.Discussed: Nintendo Switch Pre-Order Delayed 1:18, BDS Adds Microsoft as a Priority Campaign 47:22, Blue Prince 1:01:11, South of Midnight 1:13:38, Molly House 1:32:07, Speaking of Board Games, How About Those Tariffs? 1:52:54, Question Bucket 2:03:05See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It's been a few weeks since Patrick bested Nextlander's Brad Shoemaker in a classic setup: who can beat the purposely difficult and arcane Volgarr the Viking and Volgarr the Viking II first, when played back-to-back while streaming? In its wake, Patrick chatted with Kris Dürrschmidt, CEO and creative director at Volgarr the Viking developer Crazy Viking Studios. You'll do fine listening if you haven't played Volgarr the Viking, as they spend most of their time discussing the nature of challenge, gotcha design, and the evolution of gaming's relationship with difficulty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It's true, Patrick did not have a tummy ache during Remap's in-person stream. Instead, he was spending the day playing Switch 2 games! In addition to Rob and Cado, Patrick's joined by Austin Walker to break down everything Switch 2 from this week, speculate on the future of luxury consumerism in an age of tariffs, answer a bunch of questions, and spend a shockingly long time Remembering Old PC Games. Note: This was recorded on our livestream microphones and on set, so excuse the slightly different audio and occasional distraction.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
[deep breath] Who's ready to talk about Grummz? Patrick, Janet, Rob, and Cado kick off a new episode of Remap Radio about Ubisoft's clapback to Elon Musk and what it says about the industry's failed collective response to Gamergate. We also chat about the return of Game Informer, time spent with games like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Hopshot. Plus, a shockingly long time wondering: can an iPad fix me? No, it's not Rob this time.Discussed: Janet Went to GDC 3:07, Assassin's Creed Social Account takes a shot at Elon Musk 10:52, Game Informer is back? 51:33, Janet the iPad Gamer Baby 1:12:05, Assassin's Creed Shadows 1:35:03, Breakout Beyond 1:37:48, Hopshot 1:44:06, Deus Ex Mankind Divided 1:56:51, Monster Hunter Wilds 2:06:28, The Question Bucket 2:21:29, Outro and Special Announcement! 3:05:49See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Game Developers Conference is happening in San Francisco, and Patrick and Rob are [checks notes] not there and a little bummed about it, which leads to a longer discussion about the role of games media in helping spread information from events like it. They also talk about Bobby Kotick filing a lawsuit against various media outlets and the new Life Is Strange flopping, before Cado joins for a long discussion on the (excellent!) Assassin's Creed Shadows, early weird troubles with Rob's new PC, and consider why some fruit snacks look better than others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Lord knows what the future will look like tomorrow, let alone years from now. And yet, Sony's experiments in turning Aloy into AI slop and reports about Microsoft's hardware future have Janet, Rob, Cado, and Patrick looking into Remap's crystal ball. Elsewhere, Rob is obsessed with trying to travel across the country in Keep Driving, Patrick's reconsidering his approach to “cozy” games thanks to Wanderstop, and The Question Bucket turns us into a music podcast.Discussed: Lebron Flop 1:46, Xbox's New Hardware Plans 12:14, Sony AI Video Leaks 35:22, Keep Driving 1:02:29, Wanderstop 1:29:45, The Question Bucket 2:13:36See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Starting the podcast with good news? And yet, the release of Command & Conquer's source code is weird, unexpected, and cool! Oh, and Rob bought another PC? Hmm. From there, it's another discussion with Rob, Janet, Cado, and Patrick about their time with Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, what it means to be a critic of a genre you're invested in, and more. Also, Patrick and Janet have spent time with Split Fiction, Rob's plucking away at Keep Driving, there's cool stuff happening deeper into Avowed, and we may have stumbled into a 250-part video series where Rob plays an old NES Koei strategy game about the Revolutionary War.Discussed: Rob's New Gaming PC 2:43, EA Releases Command and Conquer Source Code 13:45, Blooming Rage 37:06, Split Fiction 1:20:09, Keep Driving 1:51:14, Avowed 1:52:23, Lonely Mountain Snowriders 1:55:00, The Question Bucket 1:57:53, Outro and Announcements 2:40:46 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Can we turn the video game industry off and on again? Sadly, we kick off this week's podcast with Cado, Patrick, Janet, and Rob having a lengthy discussion about the collapse of Monolith, the deeper rot at Warner Bros. Games, and how generational shifts in video game habits may be, in part, to blame. We also chat about the games we've been enjoying in the latest Steam Next Fest, why Patrick's bounced off Monster Hunter Wilds, Janet's extended time in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and Rob's journeys with Quickbooks customer support. Oh, and Patrick has one hell of a story of how Cado ended up solving a technical problem for him.Discussed: Monolith Production and Multiversus studio closed 1:23, Console Buyers Are Getting Older 42:41, Patrick's UPS Story 59:53, Steam Next Fest 1:16:53, Monster Hunter Wilds 1:43:24, Bloom and Rage 1:54:41, The American Revolution Game with the Musket People 2:05:54, Quickbooks 2:09:10, The Question Bucket 2:12:31, Outro and Announcements 2:47:41See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The whole crew is back together again! Join Patrick, Janet, Rob, and Cado as they unpack Microsoft's push into using AI to produce “gameplay,” which leads to a long discussion about the nature of art and creativity in a prompt-filled world. We also talk about the weirdness about Marvel Rivals developers being laid off despite producing a hit, before getting into their collective feelings over Don't Nod's latest coming-of-age drama, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. We also share brief thoughts on Civilization 7, While Waiting, Keep Driving, and others, before The Question Bucket takes us to a dangerous place: hey, is Chuck E.

This is it. The grand finale. What started as worries about filling a single podcast had become a trilogy of podcasts about the last year in video games. There are some fun surprises, some not-so-shocking overlap, and plenty of great discussions about the last year in video games. Next week, we return to your regularly scheduled Remap Radio.

On a recent episode of Remap Radio, we talked about a horrifying story of abuse, manipulation, and exploitation at an outsourcing studio used by a number of high-profile video game companies. That video was produced by People Make Games, a terrific YouTube channel that specializes in video games reporting. Recently, Patrick had a chance to chat with People Make Games co-founder Chris Bratt about outsourcing, video game journalism, and much more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It's just a podcast, Michael, how long could it take to record? Well, when it comes to Remap walking through its game of the year lists, it means many more hours than we anticipated. Join Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Cado as they continue to climb the discourse ladder that is their top 10 lists. But first, we reflect on how we're all wrestling with entering another Trump administration. You're welcome to skip that discussion, if you'd like; it's all contained in the podcast's first hour.Discussed: The inauguration 1:46, Politics Chat Done 49:41, Cado's honorable Mention 2 50:42, Patrick's honorable Mention 2 56:55, Spoiler Zone 1:03:40, Rob's extra game 1:08:04, Janet's honorable Mention 2 1:16:59, Cado's 6 1:22:26, Patrick's 6 1:33:51, Rob's 6 1:34:48, Janet's 6 2:06:38, Cado's 5 2:18:12, Patrick's 5 2:49:23, Rob's 5 2:49:41, Janet's 5 2:50:01, Cado's 4 2:50:25, Patrick's 4 3:04:18, Rob's 4 3:13:47, Janet's 4 3:27:50See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Ahead of recording this podcast, there was discussion about whether the podcast might not go long enough to justify two separate podcast recordings. Folks, we're happy to report that Janet, Rob, Patrick, and Cado spent nearly four hours on the first few games on their top 10 lists, which means we'll get lucky to finish our roundtable next week! Once again, we're using a round robin format, where we only chat about a game when we reach its highest place on someone's list. That way, we ensure the conversation isn't exhausted by the time we make it to that game.Discussed: cado's Honorable Mention 11:08, Patrick's Honorable Mention 14:33, Rob's Honerable Mention 26:29, Janet's Honerable Mention 40:50, cado's 10 47:07, Patrick 10 1:04:14, Rob's 10 1:13:46, cado's 9 1:14:41, Patrick's 9 1:28:23, Rob's 9 1:43:10, Janet's 9 1:55:12 cado's 8 2:17:07, Patrick's 8 2:43:28, Rob's 8 2:53:28, Janet's 8 2:54:03, cado's 7 2:54:24, Patrick's 7 3:06:45, Rob's 7 3:07:14, Janet's 7 3:18:53See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
After what feels like years of rumors and speculation, Nintendo formally announced the wholly unexpected Switch 2. We don't know much about Switch 2 yet, but it sure looks like a slightly bigger and more powerful Switch! Patrick and Cado hopped on some microphones to talk about what we know, what we don't know, and what we're hoping to find out in the months ahead.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We begin 2025 by asking Rob to walk us through the latest advancements in TV technology at CES. Is he there? No. Are we still having visions of 115-inch TVs? Absolutely. Join Patrick, Janet, Cado, and Rob as they mull ridiculous new technologies, reports about the gaming industry's unsettling outsourcing labor practices, and the fascinating potential future of SteamOS. In The Question Bucket, we ponder which muppet we'd enjoy getting yelled at by.Discussed: CES is Happening and Rob is Scheming 6:28, NVIDIA Announces New Cards 26:06, SteamOS Using 47:55, People Make Games - 100 Slaps 1:12:28, PSVR 2 1:26:23, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 2:02:35, Lethal Company 2:07:06, Question Bucket 2:10:42See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The summer is full swing here at Remap, and the folks at the Remap HOA have pool fever. And humidity. Of course, by pool fever, we mean building a pool, then tearing it down because you made a mistake, having a crisis about what it means to be a father, and then fixing those mistakes in the pouring rain, completely draped in mud. Also, why is it so hard to learn stuff?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It's the end of the year and Rob has crawled out of the ruins of his home repairs long enough to talk to Axe of the Blood God's Kat Bailey about the ruins and rebuilding opportunities in game journalism. Kat talks about the challenges of making game journalism relevant to the communities most engaged with games, and the challenge of adapting a model that has its origins in print to our fractured digital age. Plus, Kat tells Rob which RPGs he needs to go back to, and tells everyone what is the one RPG they shouldn't miss this year. Then Cado and Rob solve lasers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
With Rob (still) out, Papa Bear returns (again). Patrick, Cado, and Austin recorded this ahead of The Game Awards, which helps explain three hours of talking (extensively) about board games, Cado and Austin attending (but not meeting up at) PAX Unplugged, an unhealthy obsession over (opening packs in) Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, a small amount of Eagles talk, a slightly bigger amount of New Waypoint talk, and more. Plus, Patrick's been playing (and loving) Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, while Austin's got thoughts on Mouthwashing and IndikaDiscussed: Let me tell you about Netrunner 2:08, PAX Unplugged 26:46, Pokemon Card Game Pocket 49:01, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 1:25:10, Mouthwashing 1:48:35, Indika 1:53:56, Caves of Qud 2:03:51, The Question Bucket 2:0813See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Though Rob is out because of some ongoing construction, Patrick, Janet, and Cado were lucky to find a suitable replacement: Austin Walker. Naturally, we must first address the breaking news of a Gundam series coming from the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion. But after that, it's several long discussions on Arctic Eggs, 1000xResist, NYU's recent No Quarter exhibition, Arco, Grunn, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. We talked about so many games that we had to cut the news section! But hey, we had some great questions about early access and puzzles.Discussed: Gundam News 3:58, Arctic Eggs 13:43, No Quarter 40:39, Arco 52:40, Grunn 59:52, 1000xResist 1:03:35, Dragon Age Veilguard 1:36:22, The Question Bucket 1:51:08, Outro and Announcements 2:43:40See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Remap came together in New York to raise money for Save Point, there was only one way to celebrate a reunion with Natalie: continue watching the Twilight movies. We've already watched most of them, but did you know the last one was split into two parts? Sure, why not?Recap 00:00, Movie Start 29:36See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
One Twilight movie wasn't enough for us during Save Point. We had to keep going. And fortunately, Austin was kind enough to join us for the complete madness that is Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. And no, we could not get enough of this movie's very weird baby.Intro 00:00, Movie Start 11:08See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
