Speaking of Epic, over at @crossplayblog.bsky.social is a post about my 9yo, who's played Fortnite for all of two weeks, immediately recognizing the game's monetization is going too far. If a 9yo can clock that something's unfair, maybe it is. www.crossplay.news/p/fortnite-s...

A review is an op-ed by definition. You’re just upset at the criteria being used.

We're going to record a new episode of our subscriber Q&A podcast, Remap Hotline, later this week with @danika.bsky.social! Drop your questions with the subject "SUBSCRIBER QUESTION" to [email protected]

"Would I recommend playing LEGO Voyagers with a 5-year-old? Probably not. I’m just excited that I got the experience of completing a video game with her. It was a precious experience." www.crossplay.news/p/lego-voyag...

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE This has consumed around 4 months of my life. We've rebuilt the business from the ground-up. New site, new backend, new customer experience, new platform, new everything. we spent two years flailing, having no idea how to run a business. now...we have more of an idea.

This is a really wonderful and insightful piece about what draws us to the games that we play.

I've only seen two episode and I'm 99% sure Pluribus will be my favorite show this year. Vince Gilligan doing The Leftovers, plus a healthy dose of X-Files? Cannot wait to keep breaking this down every week on Decoding TV. Here's us on the first two episodes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

„Shows like this. It‘s why the episodic drop exists.“ @patrickklepek.bsky.social speaks The Truth™️ about #Pluribus and how we should consume it. pca.st/episode/0feb...

I asked about Game Awards press tickets in October. Got an email yesterday encouraging me to buy my own, as there were no spares.

Pluribus holy fuck

There are no words for how evil this is

lol Rob is going to be so mad if he watches this stream

Vampire’s Best Friend makes me wanna run through a wall *and* throw a brick at that same wall. A truly unique platformer. Haven’t played anything like it.

Okay okay, I’m finally done buying horror discs off Halloween sales. I think.

Another Zelda beat 'em up spin-off, a slew of Apple Arcade highlights, and more games lead the most interesting family friendly video games arriving this month www.crossplay.news/p/video-game...

imo the pod has been on a heater recently

Fortnite is raising dangerous questions in my house that I'm not prepared to answer, such as: "Daddy, why does Fortnite load faster on your Switch"? www.crossplay.news/p/oh-no-my-k...

Happy Halloween! As a treat, watch @patrickklepek.bsky.social get the shit scared out of him.

Any last second short form horror game recommendations?

Quietly, 2025 has been a great year for popular Christinanity-tinged art. And I say this as someone who is long past his MXPX and Jars of Clay phase. The Colors Within anime, expand Carrie and Lowell from Sufjan, And Roger, new Andy Shauf/Foxwarren, and plenty more.

One of 2025's best releases, And Rodger, is a video game about God, love, and loss. It's powerful and moving. Here's my conversation with Yona, the designer behind And Roger, about why he decided to make a video game about making peace with saying goodbye. remapradio.com/articles/one...

Remap’s HOA podcast and @robzacny.bsky.social’s homebuying saga is the most riveting piece of media going right now. Better than any Netflix show any book any movie any painting. Better than the World Series

One of the most terrifying text messages to get as a parent: one of your kids’ best friends has hand foot and mouth.

Oh lord, I'm getting a real ass 70mm IMAX screen within 30 minutes of my house. 😭 variety.com/2025/film/ne...

lost a bunch of work so now's a great time for anyone looking to work with or hire a guy

Come November I’ll have been unemployed for a year and now another freelance gig has dried up. Just a reminder that I am open to all freelance work (especially reviews) as well as mock review/consulting work. Also open to any other job opportunities outside of journalism. Contact info is in my bio

my contributor gig at endless mode is drastically changing in november, going from a weekly piece to a monthly one. as such, i’m available to take on more freelance work. i got experience with reporting, criticism, evergreen stuff, consulting, and anything in between. muckrack.com/diego-arguello

The ramifications of gamergate remain hard to believe

Some dirtbag teenagers have tackled my neighborhood’s 12-foot skeletons the past two weeks. Mine got hit last night. It sucks and also feels like a full circle punishment for something stupid I did as a teenager.

@patrickklepek.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social Immediately had to crudely make this mashup when starting the latest Remap Radio episode.

Ohhh, Discord's turned the Spooky Halloween notifications back on again. (Settings -> Notifications -> Sounds -> Event Sound Pack: Discord Default fixes it right up, FYI)

Every parent has something about navigating modern parenting, especially when it comes to games and tech, that pisses them off. A new feature at @crossplayblog.bsky.social is The Rant. First up, a parent of two tees off on monetization changes coming to Fortnite: www.crossplay.news/p/welcome-to...

Danika is sick, but Janet’s returned from the whole “getting married” thing to join Patrick and Rob to chat about a recent slew of developments about how games are using AI. Plus, more Silksong (some of us have finished it!), Battlefield 6, Ball x Pit, and more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Some video games should probably cost more and players should be fine with playing less and/or waiting for sales (a la waiting for a movie to "hit streaming"), but there's every reason to believe the exploitative games industry would use that as cover for profit, not making game making healthier.

Hmm.

I bought a 3D printer and 99% of its use so far has been printing accessories for my kids’ Labubus.

"My mom is happy and comfortable downloading apps on her iPad, but she’s scared to death of websites. She’ll pay a bill through her iPad, but the same thing on a website? Nope. Could she approve a time request that’s a push notification on her phone? Probably." www.crossplay.news/p/playstatio...

One of my favorite ongoing features for Remap is Steam Vent, where we purposely play games in the "new releases" category that are getting played by almost no one. We'll try anything—unless we see the AI disclosure. Then, you'll get skipped. End of story.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.
