  Remap Radio 148 — It’s in the Game. Or Is it? 07.08.2026 2u 54min

  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 finishing 007: First Light alongside dumping a whole bunch of hours into Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation. Oh, and how would we re-imagine a football video game?Links: EA bought by Saudi Arabia, Sony recieves Tarrif Refund, Motherboards are getting more expensiveDiscussed: 00:39 - Tyranny & Peter Molyneux11:26 - The John Company Megagame26:39 - EA purchased by Saudi Arabia 1:08:08 - Sony receives tariff refunds 1:15:30 - Motherboards are going to become more expensive1:21:26 - Beast of Reincarnation 1:50:46 - Chia's Gen Con Adventures2:11:42 - Theater of Idols2:23:19 - 007: First Light 2:32:10 - Boreal Tenebrae Act 0: Sundowning2:37:25 - The Question Bucket2:48:26 - Outro See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  Remap Radio 147: A Portentous Pod 31.07.2026 3u 14min

  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 Upon Rob 0:01 Microsoft Layoffs 0:18:56 EA are Jerks and Going Private 0:45:28 Passing of İpek Yavuz co-creator of Mount and Blade 0:54:07 Vermila Studios Shutting Down 0:58:37Silent Hill: Townfall 1:11:53 Rhythm Doggo & Slain 2: The Beast Within 1:27:29 The Incident at Galley House 1:40:06 Super Mega Baseball 1:55:14 Splatoon Raiders 2:18:00 Mailbag 2:30:26 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  Samuel Horti on Super Mega Baseball 29.07.2026 1u 10min

  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.

  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 seething disdain for life in Pokopia.

  Sports! - World Cup Fever 21.07.2026 1u 44min

  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 of the host nation and amoral opportunism of its governing body? Where is Janet going next for her soccer fix? Also: did cycling’s paranoia about doping cause one of its stars to crash out of the Tour de France?

  Remap Radio — The Right Gear 17.07.2026 3u 9min

  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?

  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. We’ve got plenty of game talk, too, including beating Mina the Hollower, crashing out in Marathon, and trying to find a better way to organize the video games you should be playing—even if by shame.Links: Id Layoffs, Obsidian Layoffs, Sony Winding Down Physical Game Production, ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal'Discussed:00:00 - Intro12:48 - Steam Machine28:54 - The Xbox Layoffs hit Obsidian and ID  50:39 - Sony Stops Making Physical Games  1:25:38 - ESA Calls Private Minecraft Servers Illegal  1:31:02 - Mina the Hollower  1:46:30 - Janet's New Game System  2:03:16 - Marathon  2:10:19 - Idols of Ash  2:20:14 - Question Bucket  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  The Xbox Reset Is Here 07.07.2026 1u 10min

  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—and will that very priority ruin Xbox? Rob and Patrick unpack the latest news.

  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.

  Rob's First Costco 26.06.2026 1u 28min

  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 chicken bake.

  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 team lose, the NBA playoffs, and, of course, an early Bears season prediction.

  Remap Radio 142: Entering Our 40's Era 19.06.2026 3u 12min

  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 that can distract from Xbox closing multiple studios, Epic putting AI in Unreal Engine 6, and Don't Nod teetering on the edge of shutting down for good. As bleak as the AAA space is, at least Steam Next Fest has given Patrick and Chia games to look forward to in the indie zone, including Penguin Colony, the next game from the folks who made Umurangi Generation, and even more golf in the form of Sting and Swing, a stylish looking metroid-vania golfing game.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

  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-on time with games like Alien: Isolation 2, Control Resonant, and more.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

  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 about what it means to return to The Witcher 3 so years later.

  Mina the Hollower’s Long Journey Underground Is Over 28.05.2026 56min

  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 Games’ founder and director Sean Velasco and programmer David D’Angelo.
