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.

Remap Interview - Volgarr the Viking
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.

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.
