Remap Radio

It’s the last Remap Radio of 2025! Sadly, Danika fell sick before we recording, but we’ve still got Rob, Janet, Patrick, and Chia here to try and make sense of the wild backlash to Larian Studios revealing they’re using AI tools for their next game, Divinity. Elsewhere, we’ve been playings lots of video games, including Janet backtracking on Consume Me (!!!!), plus discussions of Lego Party, Master of Command, Bluey: The Quest for the Gold Pen, Horses, Dogpile, and more. Oh, and we also assign homework to one another before our Game of the Year podcasts next year.Discussed:Larian CEO Admits to AI Usage - 21:07Lego Party - 1:12:34Consume Me - 1:22:46Master of Command - 1:41:11Chia's Silksong Corner - 1:58:04Horses - 2:02:25Go Slimey Go - 2:10:54Dogpile - 2:19:06GOTY Assignments - 2:26:01The Question Bucket - 2:37:34Outro and Announcements - 2:41:57See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey, Rob is back! So is everyone else, thankfully, which means it’s a packed stage of podcasters for the latest Remap Radio. Join Danika, Patrick, Janet, Chia, and Rob as they ponder the very nature of modern awards shows, plus a slew of video games, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Consume Me, Promise Mascot Agency, Master of Command, and more. Also, in The Question Bucket, we try to solve video game reviews via a new idea: Michelin stars.Discussed:Kier Starmer "Concerned" by Rockstar's Union Busting - 8:11The Game Awards - 15:48Consume Me - 48:55Promise Mascot Agency - 1:14:17Metroid Prime 4 - 1:18:40Master of Command - 1:40:18Horses - 2:20:34The Question Bucket - 2:25:12Outro and Announcements - 2:59:04See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s shocking that Routine, a sci-fi horror game announced all the way back in 2012, is finally here. It’s a game that died along the way, only to be resurrected in a surprise twist of fate. It’s a game that basically bankrupted the people who were making it. They were almost homeless because of it. And yet, Routine is here. It’s a video game you can play right now. Which is why it was so exciting that Patrick had a chance to chat with two of its developers about their journey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Bears are better than we thought they’d be. But are they actually good? It’s hard to make that argument after (yet again) another loss to the Packers, but screw it, we’re going to make it anyway. Plus, we chat about some other NFL storylines, including the implosion of the Indianapolis Colts, the prospect of Patrick Mahomes not being in the playoffs, and more. We also listen to a bunch of sad Blue Jays fans write in about how sad they are. It’s true: they’re sad.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rob’s internet went kaput right before recording, but that’s not gonna stop Danika, Patrick, Janet, and Chia from huddling up for a new episode of Remap Radio. We spend a long time unpacking the banning of the avant garde indie horror game Horses from major distribution platforms and what that says about the new cultural lines at various online gatekeepers. Plus, the holiday meant we played tons of video games, including Constance, Dispatch, Windswept, Routine, Squeakross, and more. Plus, Chia went to PAX Unplugged to play some board games!Discussed:Horror Game Horses Delisted Steam and Epic - 3:32Horses - 26:56Constance - 1:03:51PAX Unplugged - 1:14:26Silksong - 1:25:55Dispatch - 1:30:09Windswept - 1:40:09Routine - 1:53:09Squeakcross - 1:55:09The Question Bucket - 2:02:42Outro and Announcements - 2:32:44 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
