About the podcast
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.

Please join us this Friday and Saturday for two days of streaming, as we raise money for the Immigrant Defenders Law Center! Back in podcast land, though, we gather to discourse about this week’s big discourse, aka learning 2026’s beloved Big Walk was, in part, made with AI. What are we supposed to do with this information? Is this a tipping point? Plus, Janet’s played Ocarina of Time for the first time, Patrick’s catching up with Wolverine, and Rob’s vampire-pilled.

The gang discuss the fate of Arkane, the onslaught of games and mods in the age of AI, and whether the election results spell trouble for AI and data centers. Then it’s time to talk the Ocarina of Time remake and (for some reason) Link’s moisture levels. Rob has been playing Ratline and has some thoughts about what makes a good mystery and the difference between theme being a flimsy frame or a load-bearing pillar. Then Patrick’s high on Hellraiser and it triggers some massive introspection about whether we can call it good.

Show notes
In a quest to better understand gaming’s AI moment, Patrick spends an hour with Dr. Luke Dicken, a former data scientist at Zynga and the eventual Director of Applied AI at Take-Two Interactive. Where did the underlying technology behind what is colloquially called "Generative AI" come from? Why do tech companies exaggerate what it’s capable of? What are the optimistic—and pessimistic—outcomes for game developers and players?

The Chicago Bears played two games last week. And the Chicago frickin’ Bears won both of those games. Rob and Patrick find themselves in a strange place: already happy with the season and what it says about the future, deluding themselves into Super Bowl Super Bears, and already rationalizing how losing to the Seattle Seahawks doesn’t actually mean anything.

The death of Chicago sports (and pop culture) legend Mike Ditka. A Green Bay Packers team on the ropes. A Bears team favored to play in Wisconsin for the first time in decades. A moment to send an entire state into an existential crisis. So, naturally, the Bears played their worst football of the year and got their butts whooped. Rob and Patrick are here to podcast and cope.

Six years ago, Umurangi Generation came out of nowhere and took our breath away. Six years later, designer Tali Faulkner is back with something wholly different, equally bold, and, once again, prepared with a message. Patrick recently had a chance to catch up with Faulkner to learn why penguins and Lovecraft were required to tell this new story.

It’s a packed news week on Remap Radio, between Epic Games deciding to go all-in on AI, Double Fine’s unionization efforts falling apart, and a completely botched effort to re-release Total War: Shogun 2. It’s equally packed on the games front, with Patrick having spent time with the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and rolling credits on Control Resonant. Janet, fresh back from Japan, can finally talk about Slay the Spire, while both Patrick and Chia are digging into Penguin Colony, the latest game from the developers of Umurangi Generation.

Rob and Patrick spend 20 minutes in stunned silence, as the Chicago Bears continue their streak of what people seem to call “competence.” And why does it feel so weird to be calm in the face of Packer week, a time of year that usually instills dread? Now, it’s all house money. But it won’t stop Rob and Patrick from cackling like demons if they take down the Packers yet again.

It’s rare video game stories tell angry stories of grief. Of jealousy. Of feeling robbed of a promised future, of a past that’s rarely exactly how your nostalgia suggests. Forever Ago, the new adventure game from developer Third Shift, sits with these complicated feelings. Patrick recently had an opportunity to chat with two of the developers behind the emotional game.

On Sunday, Rob and Patrick almost saw the entire Chicago Bears season sink underneath an injury to quarterback Caleb Williams. Rob’s Sunday was ruined. Patrick’s flight back from Los Angeles became a tomb. And the prospect of doing weekly check-ins on the Bears for the Remap audience suddenly became more daunting. Maybe they could chat about a book they were reading, instead? But thankfully, Williams is not out for the season. So we’re back? Sort of.

2026 has been full of horrors, but it’s also been full of video games, too. With Grand Theft Auto VI coming later this year, though, there’s an avalanche of games coming throughout September and October. It felt like a good time to check in with Patrick, Chia, and Janet about their individual piles of shame, the games they plan to spend more time with before 2026 is over, and what games they’re looking forward to playing as the year rolls around. It’s, uh, a lot of games.

Patrick sits down with Nicole Carpenter to discuss her article on the prisoners at Rikers prison and their access to video games. Which games are provided to them, and who gets to make that decision? They also break down the biases people carry about who should have access to games, and how that access changes the prisoners' day to day life.

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.
