Remap Radio

Remap Radio is a new podcast from the creators of the long-running video game podcast Waypoint Radio. Join Rob Zacny, Chia Contreras, Patrick Klepek, and their friends and colleagues as they set off on a new adventure that has them obsessing over the video game Dragon’s Dogma nearly as much as they question the nature of capitalism.

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.

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.

Remap Radio — Fascism Is Donezo

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.

Remap Developer Interview: Routine

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.

Sports! — Moral Victories

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!

Remap Radio 119 - Powerful Babies

Content Warning: Discussion and Description of Assault and Domestic Abuse from around 58:53 to 1:16:42

We did it. We attended a Buffalo Bills game. For years, Rob and Patrick have joked about traveling to other cities to attend a football game and take in the local culture. This past weekend, it finally happened. There was tailgating, excessive amounts of light beer, plates of buffalo wings, and a moment where we almost got in an altercation in the parking lot of Highmark Stadium. That last part was, uh, less fun.

Remap Radio 118 - We're So Friend-Pilled Right Now

With Rob out for personal reasons and Danika down with a migraine, it’s time for Remap Radio to throw a pokeball onto the field and see what comes out. Join Patrick, Janet, and Chia as they react to the ray of political hope from this past week, before digging into a slew of gaming news, including PlayStation Portal getting proper cloud streaming, EA promising Saudi Arabia won’t erase queer people from its games, and Fortnite getting backlash by overly monetizing pets. Plus, we’ve been playing a lot of games, including Janet finishing Silksong, Patrick being super impressed with Dispatch, and Chia’s many hours spent playing online mahjong with anime girls.

Reminder: In early April, the a 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. Learn more here: https://www.bdsmovement.net/news/boycott-microsofts-xbox

Remap Radio 117 – Mom-DAH-nee (feat: Gimme the D)

Once again, the Chicago Bears have been involved in a very weird football game. But once again, they have prevailed in a game that, in years past, they would have lost. Is this real? Are the Bears actually good? The answer is probably somewhere in the middle, but amidst the stress, we’ll be thankful for the lack of heartbreak—for now, anyway. Plus, the World Series is over and it was incredible. Is Shohei Ohtani keeping the Dodgers from entering their villain arc?

Sports! — Is This Real?

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
