Spoilers for Life is Strange: Double Exposure during the Blooming Rage Segment
It’s January, which means it’s that time again: game of the year, baby! We wait until January for game of the year discussions at Remap, letting our takes marinate over the holidays. How long will it take for Rob, Danika, Janet, Chia, and Patrick to actually make it through their entire lists? Well, who knows. The format, if you’re new: we discuss our top 10 lists in a round robin format, and if the game you’re revealing is higher on someone else’s list, we punt the discussion until that moment. It’s no fun when you’re out of things to say about one of your favorite games!

The Cardiac Bears, more like it. Halfway through the Chicago Bears squaring up against their longtime rival/older brother, the Green Bay Packers, it looked over. It only took a pep talk from Patrick’s brother, calling in Patrick’s dad to cash in some chips from heaven, and Rob’s partner buying thousands of dollars of potentially useless medical equipment to turn things around. Plus, the real question in all of this is: should Rob buy a really cute-looking emergency vehicle?

We're starting a new podcast where we collect some of the side stories that end up on the cutting room floor or sometimes buried in the middle of an hours long stream you may not have watched! For unsubscribed listeners you're getting a conversation Patrick thought was fascinating enough to put into podcast form about audiophiles and why they do what they do. If you're a Basic or above subscriber you're also getting a previously unreleased discussion about Janet's visit to The Cosm to see The Matrix.

2026 is here, which means our Game of the Year podcasts are on the horizon, too. But first, it’s time for Rob, Danika, Chia, Janet, and Patrick to gather in front of some microphones and wonder if letting an AI beat a video game boss for you is cheating. Plus, for once, it’s not Rob considering buying a new PC! We’ve also got reactions to Chia beating Silksong, Patrick beating Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and surprisingly extensive thoughts on “outside smell(s).”

Can We Tempt Rob With CES Announcements? - 1:49

The healthiest thing for Rob and Patrick—psychologically, spiritually—probably would have been for the Bears to narrowly miss the playoffs. Enter 2026 with a clean slate. Instead, it’s once again Groundhog Day, because the Bears will once again face their rival, the Packers, in another high-stakes matchup. It’s nice to be in the playoffs, but what if being there kills us? Plus, a surprising tangent on being from what’s called “The Region,” also known as Northwest Indiana.
