Jackson continues their Resident Evil journey as we play one of the least discussed numbered entries in the series. Is there a reason that’s the case? Turns out, yeah! Thank you so much as always for listening, please ra
Our friend Molly returns to Abnormal Mapping to run, jump, grapple, dig, climb, surf, and shoot shoot shoot our way through one of the more cool and intense games we’ve played in recent memory. Please enjoy! Thank you so
We’re joined by our friend Kim to talk about a visual novel of the murder game and detective kind! Ran Ibuki is a very not normal girl who finds herself stuck in a timeless place where girls mostly fall in love and kill
We dig through the pile of trash that is the Wii library for one of the hidden gems of its lineup, the one Rabbids game that people remember fondly! It turns out the kids who said this was one of the good games of their
We return to a game we played near the very start of the podcast, but … in port form? Much to discuss about the place of ports as transformative work and also the strange routes of design lineage, especially when we talk
We play a bunch of classic phone games and talk about an era of small games that feel like they vanished from the earth. This was a great walk down memory lane, even if we mostly talk about Device 6. Thank you so much as
Surprise! One final Abnormal Mapping before the end of the year. Jackson is joined today by Erin to get thoughts down about the most baffling Game of the Year in recent history, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a game
This one was in the can way before the new Mega Man was announced, but I’m glad they finally listened to us and made another one of these. But we went back to the first evolution of classic Mega Man with two of the less
This Abnormal Mapping needed an extra week to cook, but it’s finally here for you to enjoy! We talk about a bunch of arcade games, Capcom’s inability to tell a good story (charm point), and Jackson is the one who brings
After months of chipping away at it Em finally completed Persona 5 Royal, which means she invited two of her most Shin Megami Tensei-brained friends to come on and talk about the game. And oh boy, did they ever talk abou
Some games are just very okay to the point where you don’t have too much to say about them, but thankfully we have some other gaming to keep us going as we poked through some photos and perspective puzzles this month. Th
We played a classic of the greatest console ever made, the Nintendo 64, this month! How did Em find returning to a game she 100%ed long ago? How did Ace Combat superfan Jackson find Nintendo’s take on the genre? All this
A small and fascinating puzzle game gets us through a rough month this week as we talk about score chasing, the tone of indie games in aesthetics vs mechanics vs story, our feelings about short games, and more. This was
We dig into Square’s attempt at survival horror as they hand Parasite Eve over to one of the creators of Resident Evil who proceeds to make a police procedural about being the bioweapon cops out on the streets. It’s very
We play a small detective game and come away with a nice appreciation of adapting the mystery story into mechanics, a discussion about light investment gaming, and our appreciation for genre work that thrives in their ow
We’re joined this month by Nora Blake of Export Audio to talk about her and Em’s favorite dead Konami franchise: Castlevania! We’re playing the first PS2 game, a certified mid classic, a game that asks can you really get
We played an old SNES game today and talk about the elemental qualities of RPGs and action games. Also, Jackson keeps gaming, and Em makes ambitious plans to tackle a too-big game. Thank you so much as always for listeni
We’re playing two not very classics of their respective genres today as we go back to the back half of the 90s to play an early action game and a relatively early 3D platformer. We’re kind of split on which game we prefe
We tackle a newer game this month as we talk about the critically acclaimed adventure game 1000xRESIST. We found plenty to love and plenty to pick at during our time with this one, but it’s exactly the kind of messy game
