Hello friends! I've been playing some games, trying to wrap up my to-do list of stuff I wanted to finish before our Game of the Year (which is a hard stop at the end of November, so tick tock for us). Which means going back to games I've been meaning to get to...

Hey everyone, it's time to vote! You have until Friday, October 20th. As always, these choices were selected by our $5 patrons in an earlier suggestions post. All of these sound pretty good, so I'm excited whatever wins!

Two worlds, one where every soldier is bad and one where every soldier wishes they could just go home and be human again. The coin flips. We glimpse both sides. Which world would we rather live in? Which world will Amuro find himself in when all is said and done?
Episode 7: Bungee-Jumping from a Gundam
Hey everyone, it's Jackson with this! week's! weekly! update! I'm back at school now, which is a place of learning and joy, so combined with two weekly podcasts on top of our monthly main shows, it's a very busy time at Abnormal Mapping.

Hey friends, it’s Jackson and for the letter this week I bring sad, sad news. We opened our suggestion box for next month - there’s still plenty of room for suggestions!! please give us some, we'll love you forever! - and the first suggestion for next ...
2017-10-07 15:27:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, M here again! It's time for you to suggest for us the games we should play in November. Your deadline is Friday, October 13th. As always, here's the rules, since it's been two months since we've done this:
This week's Gundam is here and Jackson is, somehow, still shocked at the willingness of anime fans to uncritically embrace nazi aesthetics. Bless them, they still had hope.
2017-10-03 22:33:18 +0000 UTC View PostHey friends, M here. It's spoop time! Abnormal Mapping doesn't actually really do horror stuff, typically, but I am definitely doing some peak spoop in my life right now watching horror movies. Might I recommend The Girl with All the Gifts, currently on Amazon Prime streaming? It's a really thought, not particularly scary British zombie movie. Two ...
2017-10-01 16:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends, M here today for your letter this week. I've been all in on Star Trek what with Discovery coming out and us prepping for the next Second Officer Slog, so I've been a little lacking in other things to talk about. I'm going to spare you all a Trek letter, at least this week, so let's talk about games instead. Specifically, cheating at ...

Hello friends, welcome to the return of regularly scheduled Gundam. Today? Amuro gets a boner, Bright gets a seat, Char gets a win, and Garma gets fucked.
Episode 5: o7 RIP Garma, lul
2017-09-27 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMy friends, my friends, it is another busy week here at Abnormal Mapping HQ - but nowhere near as busy as it is about to get. Even now, as I write this, the USS Discovery heads closer with each passing minute, bringing podcasts in its wake.
But for precious hours, that remains in the future, so let us focus on the now, and bring you up to speed w...

Hey friends,
This week I have been busy as hell, and not in the usual way of getting a bunch recorded and edited for the site, but the regular kind where you go outside and talk to people. All the work I do, and the vast majority of my friendships, are online, so this summer it's been extremely rare to talk face-to-face with people other than my ...

Hey all, sorry for the lateness of this, I was sick and Jackson was out of town. But we're here now with some new adventures of Amuro and the gang and Char and his war boys. It goes badly for everyone.
Episode 4: How Grand is Your Canyon?
2017-09-21 22:36:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! M here today with another adventure in our busy busy weeks. We're deep in prep on future shows and stuff, but we still manged to get out two podcasts and I've been doing a ton of videos. Let's get started!
Hi friends, M here for another installment of the Patreon letters. I've been very deep in a Final Fantasy hole right now, as I try to get the jump on our October game club game (we're ahead for once and September's episode is already in the can!) and dig into ...

Gundam is back again! Amuro flails with a hammer. Char hammers with a bazooka. Mirai pilots the ship with a juicebox. Many tools for many purposes.
Episode 3: Char, in a Towel
Thanks, everyone!
2017-09-13 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey there friends! It is Jackson here with the weekly update, all the exciting goings on in the land of Abnormal Mapping. It's a bit of a light week, which at this stage means only five things have happened. We're pretty busy these days.
This week, M and I got Nintendo Switches, not because we want to play the Hot New Releases (although we do want to play Mario), but because we’re beings of comfort and if we can play a videogame in bed, we will play that videogame in bed. We play a lot of sm...

We return to our regularly schedule Gundam as the White Base arrives at and leaves Luna II, and Char realizes he's up against a bunch of amateurs.
Episode 2: The Captain is Bedridden
Thanks, everyone!
2017-09-06 01:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! M here, to offer you the laundry list of everything we did this week. We're back in the swing of making podcasts after a few quiet weeks, so this one was a real doozy.
Good morning, everyone. M here, writing to you a letter that will arrive on the eve of the finale of Twin Peaks: The Return, the long awaited third season of David Lynch's iconic television show. I'm something of a neophyte fan, but I'm incredibly...

Welcome to the first episode of our new premium Gundam podcast, The Great Gundam project! This is a weekly exploration of Gundam two (or so) episodes at a time, in release order, until Gundam ends ... or we do!
We start in the modest days of Universal Century 0079, a time when people lived in fear of their own actions, and a boy named Amuro Ray l...
2017-08-29 23:04:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey friends, this is Jackson. It's another light week here at Abnormal Mapping HQ, as we ramp back up to full capacity. But next week there will be content abundant so prepare yourselves.
This past week, however:
Hey folks,
Yesterday, the long-awaited (by me) Death Note western adaptation came out and - I don't mean to shock you here - but it's hot garbage. Honestly, this is a real shame. I think Death Note is a rare anime where a western adaptation could, if you...
2017-08-26 16:25:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, M here again for what is sure to be the smallest update in Abnormal Mapping history. This has been a light light week.
Hello friends, M here today to bring you the latest bit of writing. I've sure felt down the past two weeks, I don't know about y'all. The world is in a rough place. Let's do our best to take care of each other and support the world we believe in.
I wasn't quite sure what to write today. Normally I have a couple of ideas on deck, but today I...
2017-08-19 15:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, M here filling in for Jackson because they're busy busy. We have too much content this week and probably too little for next week. We're going to definitely try to schedule things better next month, this month's just a little weird.
Before we get into stuff, I wanted to point out that if you go to the website there's a new sho...
2017-08-13 14:38:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone! This is going to be a short letter today, I’m currently working on university deadlines, so I’m a little out of action this week and next, but I’m sitting down to write the letter! Can’t leave you high and dry and content free, can I?
Please shoot me if I ever say that again.
There’s a moment in this week’s Amory ...
2017-08-12 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey friends, M here. It's time for a new round of suggestions for September's game club. As always, you know the rules: nothing less than a year old, please.
This month I have another rule for you all: we want a short game. Say six hours or less. The reason for this: We already have our October game, and it's a big one. We want something really s...

Hey friends, M here. If you noticed (it mostly went down on twitter), we recently threw up a new $200 goal that would create a new weekly show where me and Jackson watched all of Gundam (every show we can get our hands on, and we're crafty) until we're done. It'd be a premium podcast, open to all patrons for the low low cost of $1. And within two d...
