What do we think about revisiting a classically hard game in 2020? What does it mean to be out right after Devil May Cry changed everything?

Abnormal Mapping 110: Asura's Wrath
October 30, 2020 02:34 - 64.3 MBWe’re joined this week by a guest out of history as Six Dettmar makes ver’s second appearance on Abnormal Mapping to talk about infinite anime power and how you use it. We cover the strange realities of DLC from the olden days, ambitions of character action games to be cinematic, the downfalls of QTEs, and much more in this surprisingly dense episode for a relatively slight game! Much like Asura himself, when down to the wire, we sprout more arms and just keep punching. Yeah, that’s the meta...

Abnormal Mapping 108: Metroid Prime
August 30, 2020 22:00 - 92.9 MBThis month we return to the heady days of the early 00s when all things seemed possible and Nintendo unleashed the Citizen Kane of video games on all of us.

Abnormal Mapping 105: Kentucky Route Zero
May 28, 2020 16:30 - 82.6 MBThis month we discuss a game that has been coming out as long as we’ve been doing this podcast as we head down the Zero to discover what awaits us in the great american indie game and its sprawling nightmare of decayed capitalism. This turned out to be one of the most difficult games we’ve ever covered, but I also think it resulted in one of our best discussions. Please enjoy!

Abnormal Mapping 104: Halo: Combat Evolved
April 30, 2020 00:38 - 85.5 MBWe return to the halcyon days of PC gaming to explore the origins of an independent game that shook the foundations of the world. That’s right, we’re dropping into a world of dual stick movement, space marines, only two weapons and regenerating shields as we explore the strange powerhouse that is HALO. What does the game that changed everything have to offer in 2020? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. As we dig in, we wonder what exactly any of this could mean, and whether we’ll...
Abnormal Mapping 103: Final Fantasy VII Remake
April 16, 2020 15:50 - 139 MBIt’s the middle of the month and it is time for a very special episode of Abnormal Mapping, something we basically never do: a timely spoilercast for a brand new video game!

December 27, 2019 02:39 - 123 MBOn today’s very special Abnormal Mapping, we are here today to celebrate the end of the year, and indeed the end of the decade! We’ve got some lists of our favourite games, from this year and the decade at large. There’s some music in there as well, but not as much as on previous years, because it’s been a weird one.

Abnormal Mapping 98: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
November 29, 2019 00:54 - 78.3 MBWe return to a franchise we haven’t explored since our earliest days as a podcast as our friend Cassie brings us on a journey through both of our favorite Zelda games remade for one of our least favorite Nintendo platforms!

Abnormal Mapping 97: Hacknet
October 31, 2019 00:00 - 61.7 MBThis month we stray far from our comfort zone and find a game that spurs one of the best discussions we’ve had all year, even if our feelings on the game in question are turbulent.

Abnormal Mapping 95: ActRaiser
August 29, 2019 21:40 - 38 MBWe tuck into our endless backlog with this classic of the SNES era as we too create order from chaos with ActRaiser! What does it mean for a game to be enshrined for its novelty long after these genres have been much more fleshed out? How much of a mashup is about the juxtaposition over the individual parts being good? What does it say about religion that when you help everyone out they stop praying to you? All this and more in this short but sweet episode! If you would like to support us p...
Abnormal Mapping 94: Sonic Adventure 2
July 31, 2019 00:00 - 73.5 MBWe head all the way back to the last flagship Sonic game released on a dedicated Sega console with the divisive Sonic Adventure 2. Em regales us with the tales of discovering Sonic ten years later than everyone else, and Jackson talks about how this fits into their conception of Sonic as something only discovered recently. Also, we needle drop four of the best songs of one of the greatest soundtracks ever made. The game itself? Well, we might disagree on treasure hunting, but we agree about ...
Abnormal Mapping 93: Deception IV and Pikuniku
June 28, 2019 00:00 - 54.6 MBSummer is in full swing and we’re feeling the heat as we struggle to muster the energy for games in our broken brains and post-E3 stupor. That said, we’re able to run down two fun things that are both worthy of your time in opposite ways: the slow joy of cartoon murder and the soft afternoon with some new round friends! It’s the two genders of gaming represented in one episode! If you would like to support us please visit patreon.com/abnormalmapping for exclusive podcasts, writing, and even...
Abnormal Mapping 92: Einhander
May 31, 2019 00:00 - 60.4 MBA short but intense episode this week as we strike from the moon to bring you a slightly different vision of ‘what if Gundam but video games that can’t contain it’ than Titanfall 2 gave us two months back. We’re going into our PSX demo disc favs and pulling up Square’s attempt at a flashy shooting game—Einhander! This is our first shmup/shooter, and we still can’t figure out what to call this genre, but we do know what to call Einhander: a video game that we have Opinions about. Join us as w...

Abnormal Mapping 90: Titanfall 2
April 11, 2019 22:18 - 89.9 MBWhat does it mean to get into a robot? What does it mean when that robot is cool, when juxtaposed against war being hell?

If you would like to support us please visit patreon.com/abnormalmapping for exclusive podcasts, writing, and even opportunities to be ...
Abnormal Mapping 89: Chrono Trigger
March 29, 2019 01:00 - 93.2 MBFrom the mists of time we finally move on from Final Fantasy to other classic JRPGs as we play everyone’s favorite time travel adventure Chrono Trigger. What delights do we find in the ATB 2.0? How do we feel about silent protagonists in 2019? What makes a game beloved and what makes an old game worth revisiting if one was to go back? All time compresses into an hour and a half of adventure in this, the episode with (if nothing else) the really really good music. If you would like to suppor...

Abnormal Mapping 87: Super Mario Galaxy 2
February 08, 2019 02:00 - 75.3 MBIf you can believe it, it’s been six years of doing Abnormal Mapping and we’ve not once done an episode on a Mario platformer despite Jackson literally playing every single one since we started the podcast. That ends now as we both enjoy the last unplayed Mario for each of us and dip into the ups and downs of the Wii classic??? Mario Galaxy 2! We put our foot down about Yoshi, complain about the music, wax nostalgic for wiimotes, and generally have a complicated time. As usual! Please, come ...
Abnormal Mapping 86: Final Fantasy XII
January 25, 2019 02:00 - 107 MBAfter five years and many hundreds of hours our long Final Fantasy adventure is at an end as we pry open the doors on one of the most divisive games in the history of the franchise. What do we find in the land of Ivalice, aside from crystals and swords to cut the crystals with? How do we feel about Vaan in 2019? Is the format of an MMO truly a good way to play a single player game? We’re going to find out! And then, we’re going to rate all the Final Fantasy we’ve played on Abnormal Mapping, ...
Abnormal Mapping 85: The 2018 Game of the Year Variety Show
December 28, 2018 05:17 - 138 MBWe’re finally here at the end of the longest year in the history of long, bad years. We barely played any games this year, so pulling together our favorite songs was a mighty task, but we weren’t going to let you walk away empty-handed. Also, let’s be real, it’s way harder to find ten good games than games with good music. Good game music is easy. You here me, Capcom?? EASY! THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR MEGA MAN TO SOUND LIKE THIS! *ahem* Please enjoy these hours of music and best of lists, and I...
Abnormal Mapping 84: Nina Freeman Gameography
November 30, 2018 01:32 - 90.8 MBFor our latest patreon request, we bring back our old Gameography format and take a look at fifteen games from game maker Nina Freeman.
