Hot off hosting Save Point in New York, Rob and Patrick find themselves trying to figure out the puzzle box that is the (slightly more powerful) PlayStation 5 Pro. Fortunately, Janet and Cado are here to help us rationalize Rob’s latest impulsive purchase.

We’re collectively getting ready for Save Point, a charity stream where we’ll be gathering in New York to hang out, play games, and raise money. But first, many of us have been playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard, leading us to pick apart why this RPG franchise has experienced so much whiplash over the years. Plus, Patrick has finished Life Is Strange: Double Exposure and has a lot of thoughts on iit. One last programming note, folks: this was recorded ahead of the election.Discussed: Dragon Age: The Veilguard 0:11:42, Life is Strange: Double Exposure 1:25:44, Rebirth 1:57:26, NSFW Jackbox 1:59:29, CODBLOPS 2:11:52, Mailbox 2:20:03See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It might’ve been inevitable, but the news that Sony is shutting down the developer of Concord is still distressing. Patrick, Janet, Rob, and Cado unpack what that disaster says about the state of game development, before turning their eyes to labor walkouts at DON’T NOD and Activision Blizzard. Elsewhere, Janet has finished Life Is Strange: Double Exposure and is not very happy with where the story ends up. Fortunately, Rob’s having a great time with the campaign for Black Ops 6. In The Question Bucket, we consider reasons for buying The Ultimate Monitor.Discussed: Sony Closes Firewalk 11:45, Layoffs at Don't Nod 37:15, Black Ops 6 QA strike over Return to Office Policy 1:04:10, Mouthwashing 1:12:11, Black Ops 6 1:21:38, Double Exposure 1:39:20, The Question Bucket 1:55:51See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This might be the most important interview in the history of Remap. Patrick managed to score an interview with Lance Allen, senior merchant of decorative holiday at Home Depot, also known as the creator of the 12-foot skeleton that sits outside of Patrick’s house all year long. Patrick and Lance chat about what it was like stumbling into a viral phenomenon during COVID-19, what the research process is like for coming up with new creations, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
